tude for n livelihood. Forlorn and friend
less girls drift there and find employment,
and for a time are lost to their acquaint-
ances and perhaps not missed or inquired
for. Poor as its members are, this class Of
helpless humanity was selected for victims
of robbery and murder, and even worse, by
the wretches Frank and Rosalie Schneider,
whose trial was concluded on the Goth of
January. For the murder of Vincenzia
Zouffor they will go to the scaffold to-
gether, the first instance of the execution
of a murderess in Austria since 1908. The
murder of the Zouffor girl was but one of
many crimes traced to the S~chneiders and
at last confessed by them.
In the spring and summer of 1891 sew
eral peasant girls who lived out at service
disappeared from the view of their ac-
quaintances, and from time to time the
bodies of young women were found in
lonely places in the woods of a suburban
district, in n condition to indicate murder.
Their clothing and had been re-
moved.
After the finding of the Zouffor victim
the Schneiders were arrested and the
woman attempted suicide. In the course
of their trial the pair made charges against
each other, and in this way the full story
of their crimes came out. They would in

time, those having the most uab per-
sonal effects. Once in the house the victim
was at the mercy of the brutal husband,
who added the crime of outrage to his vii
lainies. The murders were done by stran-
Cling, and then the bodies were stripped and
hidden in the woods. If the victims were
known to AVE left %valuables behind them
in the city, the Schneiders forged orders to
obtain them. The booty secured was
promptly sold.
Before the police struck the scent of
these murderers the guilty ones had aban-
doned their home, and Mrs. Schneider got
employment in the home of Baroness
Fake. Schneider took refuge there and
was kept in hiding. During the trial the
husband, who is a powerful man, accused
his wife of compelling him to strangle the
girls. His wife is so small and delicate be-
side him that the statement was ridiculed
by the spectators. Schneider is an ugly
looking fellow about thirty-five years old.
His wife is forty-one.

Sister Therese, who has lately died in
Montreal, was one of the most noted
women in Canada. She was one of the
two nuns who, in the endeavor to relieve
the spiritual and temporal wants of the
Indians in the far west, went in 1859 on
horseback nearly to the Pacific coast,
where no white woman had ever been
before. In 1857 she founded an asylum
at Valparaiso for abandoned children,
and in 1866 she was brought back to
Montreal and made general treasurer of
her order. She laid the foundations of
the great insane asylum that was de-
stroyed by fire last year, and she was,
until her death, mother superior of this
establishment. She possessed a remark
able power over violent patients.-Har-

Belt manufacturers are likely to have
a very busy season., as recent changes in
fashions are playing into their hands.
When the summer girl who plays tennis,
goes boating, sailing, ETC., first became
a factor in American life, she wore
pretty much anything that was queer,
but that suitable outing garments
have become an essential part of femi-
nine costume, blouses, waists and, in
consequence, belts have grown to great
Importance. Last year it was blouses
and sashes; this year it is waists and
belts, the great predominance of waists
both for house and neglige wear entail
ing a similar increase in the wearing of
belts.
Bodice belts for women, ring belts for
men, both of russell leather, are the lead
ors this season A common defect of
bodice belts, their tendency to break
down and wrinkle, is overcome by the
curved shape, which permits the belt to
fit the form with no greater tension on
the edges than in the center.-Mercer.

Governor Brown, of Maryland, has
been forced by public opinion in that
state to command Mrs. Brown to put
aside n queenly crown. The story is
that Mrs. Brown, having some hand
some diamonds, had a mind to have
them reset for the Inauguration cere.
monies and reception. She carried them
to a Baltimore jeweler, who suggested
that they should be arranged in a crown
or tiara. After some hesitation Mrs.
Brown accepted the design for n crown.
In due time the crown was completed,
and was written up by the Baltimore
papers. Then the trouble began for the
governor. Some papers announced that
Mrs. Brown would wear a crown on all
public occasions, just like a real queen.
Others varied the announcement by say
ing that Mrs. Brown considered the
crown as the outward and visible symbol
of the social belief that she is the first
lady of the state.
Immediately the people of Maryland
caught fire, and asked on what meat
had their Caesar fed that his family
should put on a style not authorized by
the constitution. There must have been
a terrible struggle in the governors
mind, for governors are but human after
all. Eventually the statesman triumphed
over the husband, and Mrs. Brown did
not wear a crown. Neither was there
any special ceremonies attendant upon
the inauguration, which were made
severely simple, even Jeffersonian in
their simplicity.-Boston Transcript.

University extension, which has be-
come so general and so marked a feature
of higher education, is of peculiar value
to women, as it brings to them the adj
vantages of the college training which
they nave neither time nor means to seek
outside their homes. The average father
educates his son at the expense of his
daughters learning, and not infrequent-
ly the daughter contributes toward the
general fund for the brothers education
from her own small earnings. The aim
of the university extension movement,
which was introduced into America from
England less than two years age, is to
bring regular systematic college work
under specially qualified instructors
within the reach of people of small means
and living even at great distances from
college centers.
The methods employed include estab-
fishing centers in towns containing Ii
braries for reference, suitable meeting
places and local organizations for attend
ance. In the establishment of such CEN
tiers I'M are taking the initiative in
organization and compose more than
half the students. The two centers in
the west, one at Indianapolis and the
other in Chicago, have been established
by Mrs. Mary Wright Sewell, Miss Stair
and Miss Adams. Mrs. S. l.. O~berholtze,
was instrumental in establishing n of
the first centers in America at Morris
town, and Mrs. Head at Germantown
Center and Miss Leonard, of West Phila-
delphia, have been untiring in their eff
forts for the success of the work.
Such a center being established, in
struction is given by weekly lectures,
exercises and classes and examinations.
There is also a department of home
sudy, with regular courses extending
,ver three or four years. in which the

Mrs. Potter Palmer is considered by
many of her admirers to be the hand
soonest woman in the United States.
Mrs. Palmer is certainly the most am
bilious woman to be found hereabouts,
and just now she is devoting all her time
and thoughts and energy, as we'll as
great sums of money from her private
purse, to making the great Columbian
exhibition n success from every point
of view. Mrs. Palmer is a sister of Mrs.
Fred Grant, and last summer, when Mrs.
Palmer went abroad, it was nominally
to visit her sister in Vienna. But when
once over on the other side Mrs. Palmer
found so much that could be done in the
way of interesting women in our great
forthcoming exposition that she gave
nearly all of her time to this work, fore
going all private and social pleasures.
Mrs. Potter Palmer is devoting her
life to ~womankind, and is leaving moth
ing undone that her countrywomen may
make a creditable showing for them
selves and the various states they repre-
sent. Mrs. Palmer does this without
hope of reward. But surely, if no other
tribute is rendered her, she may rest Sc
cure in the knowledge that she has the
grateful thought and thanks of her fell
low women.-New York Advertiser.

The mines of the Comstock are now
much better ventilated than before
drifts connected the several main shafts
and wines of the many levels. Still the
work Of the miner is often in a hot and
sitting atmosphere. Very frequently
his work is at the face of a long pros
specting drift, where the only air he has
to breathe is the scant supply pumped
down to him through a pipe from the
surface, as though he were a pearl diver
fathoms beneath the sea. The place in
which he works at times shows q tenn
p~erature of from 100 to ITO degs., or
even as high as 100 dogs. In such places
he is stripped of all clothing but a
breech clout (heavy shoes protect his
feot and he wears a cap to keep the sand
from the shaking rock out of his hair),
yet perspiration streams from every
pore of his body. But for the gallons
on gallons of ice water he swallows he
would be baked in his skin like a potato
the very life blood would be dried in
his veins.
Though .sweltering and gasping the
miner must still swing his pick or sledge,
must still handle a shovel or crowbar for
a certain length of time-tin the end of
his ''pass" (of fifteen to twenty minutesl
when he can pass out of the drift to the
cooling off station and send in his part
ner to work his pass"
For the dangers a miner must brave
and all the suffering he must endure
from heat and bad air insufficient or
vitiatsd) four dollars a day is by no
mean too large a sum to offer him for
eight hours work in the sweltering low-
er levels. Simply to remain eight hours
in the subterranean regions is worth
something, not to speak of toiling that
number of hours at the hardest of work.
Visitors who enter the heated regions Of
the silver mines usually find that merely
to walk through the various drifts, floors
and chambers is about all they care to
endure in the way of exercise. New
