Woman's Share in tine c-.1.,s s-rrs.c..s=.
One of the purposes of the woman's
share in the Columbian fair, and perhaps
not the least important, is that the ex-
hibits shall demonstrate that women
have had through the ages greater orig
inality and inventiveness than they have
been accredited with. Among the primi-
tive pupils women were the originators,
it is claimed, of industrial arts, and it
was only after they became lucrative
that men usurped them. Women de-
vised the curing and dressing of game
and the fashioning of the skins of ami
mails into garments. Women invented
the needle, the shuttle, the weaving Of
textiles She was the first potter, and
she originated basket making.
There will be shown as illustration of
the influence of women during medieval
times copy of the old Bayeux tapestry
made by Matilda of Flanders and her
maidens, which is the best and most au-
thentic history of the conquest of Eng
land by her husband, William the Con-
queror; reproduction of the statues of
Salina Won Steinbach, daughter and as
sistant of the architect of Strasburg
cathedral. To her is ascribed the change
from the stiff medieval angles to the
graceful flowing lines that followed and
of the remarkable book prepared in the
Twelfth century by the Abbess of Her
rad, which contained compendium of
all the knowledge of the day, illustrated
by Nominations. and considered by
many to be the origin of the modern en-
cyclopedia.
There will be records, too, of the wo-
men who were professors in the early
Italian universities, and many other
things of interest illustrative of woman's
early proves, and proving that the
present uprising in the ranks is only. the
natural force of the stream seeking its
level, and not at all new departure

A Girls High School in Iceland.

A year ago the first high school for
girls was opened in Reikiavik, Iceland,
details of which are just now becoming
known, SO slow is communication with
this isolated country. The school was
started with fifteen girls, as many more
being refused from want of funds. The
curriculum is peculiar, embracing tai
loring, slojd (whatever that may be),
Icelandic language and literature, Eng
hsh, Danish, arithmetic, history, geog-
raphy, singing and writing. Cooking is
also taught. The tailoring department
is most important, but as there are no
tailors in Iceland, except few in Reiki-
avik, women have to make the mems
clothes as well as their own. The high
school is perforce boarding school, as
the pupils come from distances taking
from three to fourteen days travel

Writing lines is the usual penance at
Harrow for all offenses committed in or
out of school. There was one clever boy
who escaped writing half the ordered

of how he did it to this day. He was an
untidy boy, and was often taken to task
for his carelessness and disorder. One
day his master. who had very dignifed

The Cranberry Season.

The cranberry picking season. on Cape
Cod is now at its height, and thousands
of the poorer people have been profiting
by the opportunity to make money. Of
late years, however, it has been found
that the native workers are insufficient,
and foreigners have been introduced.
An average picker gathers from twenty
to thirty measures per day. A fast
picker can easily earn five dollars per
day. The working hours are short, as
the heavy autumn dew does not dry off
until about a. m. and begins to fall
again about p. m.-New York Tribune.

The best and quickest way of secur-
ing an improvement in our roads, and
of obtaining results that will be more
permanent, is to educate the people,
especially the farmers, who are
more nearly concerned in the matter

tlon of the benefits of good roads and
their economy Once convince man
that So worth of labor spent on the
road passing his farm means the saw

the roads, and he will not only join in
the movement himself, but will see to
it that his neighbors are interested.

A Hint to Lazy Electors.

Mr.. Balance, the premier of New
Zealand, has suggested very novel
method of keeping the electoral rolls
honest and pure. After every election
he would strike off the name of every
elector who failed to record his vote.
Absentees and dead men would thus be
removed at a stroke, and the trouble the
lazy live electors would experience in
getting on the roll again would teach
them to value and exercise the franchise
in future.-LondOn Tit-Bits

it creates considerable excitement in
the neighbOrhood where the operation

business men around Seven corners

Wednesday night. The proprietor of
the restaurant at los West Seventh
street opened his place yesterday morn
ing to find that it had been entered by
thieves during the night and that their
presence had cost him what change he
had left in the money drawer and nearly
$50 worth of cigars, candies, etc. He
notified the police officers on the beag at
once. and the two made an Investigation.
They found that the burglars had
broken the glass in rear basement
window, through which they entered
the building. The door opening from
the basement stairway to the restaurant
on the second floor was forced open, and
q Ratchet was used to get at the money
drawer. The cigars and candy were
within easy reach. Several boxes Of
each were taken. On rear table were
several pieces of valuable silverware
wrapped III tableeloth, but the thieves
had evidently been scared away before
