and ready-witted woman. One night

of a dormer window. and sliding down
to the caves, sat with his feet overhang-
ing the sidewalk. three stories below.
Mr.. Names declined to crawl down the
roof to rescue the man. but his wife
said to her sister: "You hold me, and

Women on Public Boards.

Indiana takes considerable pride in
the fact of having the only woman's
prison in the world entirely controlled
and conducted by women, 1t has at
tracted much attention from prisons
interested in reform work. and the sub
iect of similar institution is being
agitated in several other states. A
short time ago this reformatory caught
fire, and was damaged to the extent Of
$50, 900. Great regret was felt, and the
first questions were, will the Legislature
appropriate money to rebuild, aud what
shall be done with the 200 inmates until
this body meets, year hence? TO the
surprise and qualification of everybody,
however, it was discovered that the
building was insured for the full
amount of the damage, and that all
that was necessary to be done was for
the board of managers to collect the in
surance and commence rebuilding.
This has already been done. There
was universal commentator by press
and people of the sagacity of the wom-

realized until their treacherous fangs have beer

can be more deceptive, for their symptoms are
varied in nearly every instance. Thousands OF
persons have been their victims without realz-
ing or knowing what 1t is that afflicted them.
Thousands are suffering to-day who do not
know the cause.
The following outspoken words, however,

There has been an absolute revolution in the
practice OF medicine and in the treatment Of
human ills. Instead of undermining the vital
forces by cupping and bleeding, the vitality is
now sustained in every possible manner. In
stead OF tearing down we seek to build up. In
stead of increasing misery we seek to create
happiness.
But the greatest advancement in medical
science has been made by discovery. Harvey
could afford to endure the ridicule of the world
for revealing to 1t the grand discovery of the
circulation OF the blood. Jenner might be ostra.
cized, but millions have benefited by his dis
covery Of vaccination. Pasteur lived in more
enlightened age and escaped ridicule, while the
world received the benefit which his discoveries

his discovery before its perfection, will De re-

The discoveries of these great men have been
OF untold benefit TO the world, and yet they

4 Shrcwd Woman.

An interesting story is told of Mrs.
Mary V. Taylor, of Pittsburgh, said to
be the only woman in the oil business.
Two years ago she was a book-keeper
for large oil firm, and being a keen
observer, she noticed that oil-pipe was
growing scarce in the market. She qui-
city bought up all the pipe she could
get. and in the pipe famine which fol-
lowed she had twenty carloads 20 dis
pose of at an advanced rrice. With the
proceeds of this sale Mrs. Taylor invest
ed largely in oil-well supplies, and now
is doing business which pays her tens
of thousands year.

tic elm tree, which is said to be the fin
est elm in the country, and was second
only to the big one that was blown
down on Boston common. Three grown
persons with their arms stretched out
can just span its huge trunk. The old
cottage is sixty feet wide, yet the
branches of the elm can be seen jutting
out on both sides of the house from the
view at the back. The cottage is one of
those low, rambling buildings, only one
story and attic, with nearly every room
on a different level, so that one has to
be continually stepping up and down in
going from room to room-a house that
has grown gradually in the course of
years with the people living in it.
Many an artist has made little pin
grimagc to the place just to get sketch
of the old house and the older elm tree,
both grown to be landmarks in the
neighborhood.
