A Rapid Writer.

The recent death Of the widow OF
Fernandez Gonzales, the great Spanish
novelist, recalls the fact that when he
was at his best, some twenty years ago,
d Madrid publisher paid him seventy-ive
dollars 4 day for whatever he might
choose to write on military subjects.
The novelist's procedure in the matter
was curious. He would collect his days
salary in advance, dine ~copiously and
enjoy himself until five in the morning,
and then he would dictate to three sfeno-
graphers 50 rapidly that by 8 o'clock he
had 4 large batch Of 'scopy'' ready for the
publisher. He is said to have made
s400, 900 BY his pen, but he died poor.

Gently: IF haven't enough money to

they need it more than the boys Not
that they are less bright than their
brothers, for think intellectually they
are more clever. but because the world
demands greater skill and better prep
aration in a girl than in n boy. The
girl is more sharply criticised meets
with greater obstacles, and is treated
with less confidence in her ability than
boy, consequently she needs the best
start. Besides, physically, she is at a
disadvantage and needs the discipline
of the college training to enable her to
work with less expenditure of nervous
force than the unframed woman knows

In WOMAN'S BEHALF.
A WOMAN'S TEMPLE.

Unconscious woman builds
or Little things that come and go.
So it doth slowly rise above
The tide of years until its dome
has reached the glory clouds OF Heaven.
A world Within self, home
She wisely builds hpoE the rock.
Far more eternal Than the years,
The pavement is OF solid truth,
Untouched, unworn by falling tears.
The walls are innocence and grace
Fair virtue makes them high and strong,
Within they shine with purity,
Resound with muse and sacred song:
The gates are pearls of truth and love,
Whence issue forth bright CLEANS Of light,
Each stone little sacrifice,
And kept in place by truth and right.
The pillars are OF gentle acts
That bear the weight of golden beams
or life, and bourd by chords of love,
And braced by deaths undying streams
Each nail heartbeat set in place,
Each blow her very center shook;
The steps are trials, very steppng-stones
Where patience climbs with upward look:
The throne, her grand eternal soul,
Her king, the one she loves best;
Her altar, where sweet incense rise,
Does hold her greatest and her best.
So day by day a stone is Laid
Until the whte-capped dome
Is hid among the clouds,
And she has reached her Heavenly home

MODERN FANS.
A Difficult, Delicate and Well Paid Art II
Some Of Its Branches.

Difficult, Delicate and Well Paid Art IN
Some Of Its Branches.
Most of the finer fans sold in this
country are made in Paris and in three
or four suburban villages near by. No
fan maker knows the whole art. All
the workers in one village make sticksi
those of another fold; those in third
supply the bows that hold the sticks to.
gether The making of the upper sticks
is trade by itself. After all the parts
have been made they are sent to the
great factories in Paris to be put to.
gether A fanmaker begins his APP
premiership in childhood. The tools
are few and simple. Most OF the carv'
ing and filigree work is made with
chisel or scroll saw. The pattern, traced
on paper. is pasted on the piece of bono
or ivory or wood from which the fan
stick is to be made and the filigree is
rapidly cut with saw. Tortoise shell
sticks are made by special workers in
shells. That is difficult, delicate and
we'll paid art.
Only few very clever artists in Paris
have attained reputa ton as fan paint
ers and many great master in oils
would not dare risk his name in such
work lie Loir painted fan that was
sold in Ne York for six thousand doll
lars. Mad eleine Lemaire occasionally
paints fan, but it is seldom used ex'
cept,for wall decoration. Her prices
for such work are from three thousand
to five thousand dollars
There is a host of comparatively un'
known artists whose work, excellent in
its way, is seen on fans that cost from
ten to one hundred and fifty dollars.
Some of them assign assumed names to
their work, and all are the hacks OF the
Partisan trade.
The cheaper fans are painted by
wholesale. A long strip of silk or other
material is tackled to a board, many
fans are outlined upon it, and then hall
dozen painters paint the same subject
on each fan, each painter laying par
ticular color on the whole set Such
fans cost only few francs each. They
serve to aid the flirtations Of pretty
French shop girls or to tickle the peas
ant fancy in the provinces Flower
fans of the more expensive kind have
found little or no sale here and are mo-
imported much. Many of the cheaper
fans ranging as low as five or six dol
lars each, are ornamented with painted
flowers, the work of unknown artists

chinaware, rich carpets, attractive silk

from Western China, and from other
quarters appear travelling merchants,
with well-laden camels and horses, re-
vealing tempting display of Russian
goods, among which may be found gold
lace, sillSen textures, and peculiar
styles of jewelry, much in request in
cities and villages of Thibet; also many
kinds of furniture are included in the

MRS. BRUNOT'S GREAT WORK.

What n Charitable Woman Has Accom-
plished In Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
Mrs. Brunot, of Pittsburgh, is lady
whose name is closely associated with
the Woman's Christian association of
that city, brief history of which also
embodies the story of her early labors.
It's real inception was in the Temporary
Home for Destitute Women, which was
opened at As Chatham street in April,
1866 Its officers all of whom were
distinctly charitable women, were:
Mrs Brunot, president; Mrs. w. A.
Heron, vice. president; Miss Matte J.
Fowler, secretary: Miss Anna Thaw,
treasurer: Miss Lizzie Wade, librarian
Mrs r. Robinson, Mrs. VIM. Vankirk,
Mrs w. p. Logan, Mrs F, Woods, Mrs.
Caroline Nelson. Mrs. James Irwin,
Mrs r. W. Poindexter. Mrs. S. Mckee,
Mrs Eliza LOOMS, Mrs Clapp and Miss
Jane Holmes, managers. Receiving
committees-Fo Pittsburgh, Mrs. Her
ron and Miss Holmes: for Allegheny,
Mrs Poindexter This home was sub
sequently moved to 929 Penn avenue,
where it remained till recently it was
sold. 1t will be reopened across
the street from it's late location. At
the first annual board meeting reports
showed the good the home had done,
and the ladies got to discussing its
future possibilities with Evangelist
Moody, who was present The result
of that chat was the organization of the
Women's Christian association, with
the same officers as the home board.
They established their headquarters at
Williamsburg, when Mr.. Kelly-who, it
was said, never could deny charitable
woman, and actually impoverished him
self by his generosity-had given Mrs
Brunot five acres of land for the pur-
pose Here they built reformatory
for girls and called it the Sheltering
Arms. 1t proved Inconvenience for man
agerial visits and, after a vexatious
lawsuit, they sold it to the new board
of the Home for Aged Men and bought
a comfortable old house on Locust
street. named it the Christian Home for
Women, and within month found the
work prospecting, until now it is really
their most successful enterprise. They
subsequently attached hospital to it.
Of the thirty members of this original
board there are but six ladies left
