University had received the gift of large
library from gentleman in Germany. A
professional gentleman of this city states
that the library was acquired by purchase
at the cost of S500,000. which was taken out
Of the funds of the university. The library
consists of 100000 volumes and was pro-
cured from a German who is a great col

WOMEN AS ASTRONOMERS.
A Field in Which Their Labor Has Beer
Eminently Successful.

A Field in Which Their Labor Has Been
Eminently Successful.
Helen Leah Reed, writing in the New
England Magazine, states that women
of genius, like Caroline Herschell, Maria
Mitchell and Mary Somerville, have al
ways been welcomed to the ranks of
astronomers, and that the various
European and American observatories
have of late years employed not few
women computers.
The Harvard college observatory has
been especially appreeiative of the work
of women; not only employing them as
computers. out definitely encouraging
them to undertake original research
Yet, although there is field for womans
work in astrometry, the so-called old
astronomy, with its problems relating
to the positions and motions of the
heavenly bodies, much wider scope is
offered for the work of woman in astro-
physics, the so-called new astronomy.
For in this latter branch of practical
astronomy, photography is now so
largely used that the observer, magnify
ing glass in hand, can at any hour of
the day study the Photographic plate
with results even more satisfactory
than those formerly obtained by visual
or telescope observations at night In

CAST OFF CLOTHING.

Ready made Clothing such as IL Worn hv
working-people Is as Cheap In the United
States as 1t Is Anywhere In tho world
Handmade Clothes are somewhat
Dearer Because of the Higher Wages
Paid American Laboringmen.
To the Editor A neighbor Of ours, who wslt
TO England last summer, says that suit of
clothes which cost sl5 in England costs $50 in
this country OF course he is q free trader.
Can you inform me whether this statement is
true. G. W. b.
Ready-made clothing of substantial
quality, such as is worn by well-to-do
working people, is as cheap in the United
States as it is anywhere in the world.
Tailor-made clothing, which probably
the kind that the neighbor of our CORE
spondent has in mind (since he is
wealthy enough to travel to Europe) is
dearer in this country than III England,
although the difference in cost is not
nearly so great as 800 per cent Ameri-
can wages are twice and three times as
high as wages in England, and as hand
labor is the chief factor, in clothing that
is made to order, it is natural that this
clothing should be dearer. But work.
ing people can cbthe themselves as
cheaply and as well in the United
States as the working people of England
or any other country. In this statement
we are borne out by the reports of
United States consuls who have made
this special subject of investigation.
f. e. Lane, former consul at Tunstall,
England, says:
In view Of these figures, what becomes Of the
constantly repeated assertions that the cost of
living TO the workingman in the United States
is double what it is in England? The truth ia
that the only item in which there is any con-
siderable advantage in the workingmanS cost
of living in this country is in the matter Of rent

mere is any at all. As good SUIT OF
clothes can be purcha sed in that city (Chicago)
for $40 as can be obtained in this country for the
same money.
j. Schoenhof, consul at the same place
during the administration of Grover
Cleveland, and an enthusiastic free
trader, says:
Everything made TO order in the way of cloth
| ing, except shirts, perhaps, is considerably
| cheaper here, while machine-made or factory
made goods show disappearing differences only.
In workmanship and finish l find CORE
spending articles OF the wholesale process OF
manufacture superior in the United States
This is true of clothing as well as Of collars,
cuffs and like articles.
These statements prove pretty con-
clusively, we think, that the price OF
good ready-made clothing is no higher
in this country than in England. After
all, however, the question of price is
not the most important The real point
to be considered is: Does given amount
of labor here purchase more clothing
than the same labor will purchase else.
where? and judged by this standard the
American laborer is far more comfort
ably, cheaply and neatly dressed than
the laborer of England or any other
country.

the average observatory, where men
are employed, it is obviously imprac-
ticable for women to engage in night
observing.
The work in which women take part
at the Harvard observatory may be di-
vided into three classes:
/. Computing, based on the work OF
others, For twenty years some women
have always been included in the corps
of Harvard computers.
.. Original deductions mot necessarily
star work.. Work of this kind has been
carried on chiefly by special students OF
the Harvard annex. In this class OF
work must be named longitude cam
paign-probably the only longitude
campaign ever conducted wholly by
women, whereby Miss Byrd and Miss
Whitney determined the precise differ
ence in longitude between the Smith
college and Harvard college observa-
tories. Miss Byrd is now director of
the Smith college observatory, and Miss
Whitney is Maria Mitchells successor
at Vassar. In this second class of work
may be included also the making OF a
standard catalogue of the stars near the
North Pole by Miss Anna Winlock, the
daughter of former director of the
Harvard observatory.
5. The Henry Draper memorial work,
and four other investigations, less ex-
tensive, though similar in kind to those
provided for by the Draper fund.
The Draper memorial Investigations
form one of the most noteworthy de-
partments of the Harvard observatory,
and they are carried on by women
under the general direction of Prof. E.
C. Pickering, the director of the observ-
otory. Moreover the work is support
ed wholly by woman, Mrs. Anna
Palmer Draper, of New York, in honor
of her husband, DR.. Henry Draper, who
was pioneer in the work of photo
graphing stellar spectra.
Although in practical astronomy the
field for woman's work is wide one,
the number of paid positions for work.
ers in this field is naturally limited.
| Yet the success of the Harvard expert
ment of training corps of women as
sistants has been so marked, that it is
to be hoped that other observatories
may follow this example. AS the re-
sources of the various observatories are
increased by the liberality of people
interested, like Mrs, Draper and Miss
Bruce, in encouraging the development
of astronomy, it may not be too much
to expect to see larger numbers of wom-

PRACTICAL SYMPATHY.
The Example of Sweet Womanliness Set by
Young Chicago Lady.

Young Chicago Lady.
An example of sweet womanliness
and helpful sympathy comes from Chi
cago by way of an Indianapolis CORE
spondent who does not wish to be
known in the case; Miss Fannie Gary, a
young and wealthy Chicagoan, worked
two weeks last summer in tailor shop
in the city of the worlds fair. Mary
Anderson, poor girl, was one of the
regular toilers in the shop, and Miss
Gary, who knew her, noticed that she
seemed to be rapidly running into de-
cline. Acting on generous impulse,
she proposed sending the sick girl
to pleasant summer resort TO be recu-
perated.
"But, oh, dear" said the poor girl,
81 can't go; the proprietor will not
let me leave unless some one takes
my place, and there is no one to do
that"
'Oh, yes there is" said Miss Gary;
you go and I'll do your work"
Miss Anderson went to the country
and Miss Gary went to the tailor shop.
For two weeks every morning at six
o'clock she left her pleasant home, clad
in plain black dress, and joined the
other workers in the hot and stuffy
shop. All day she stitched and reached
home at seven o'clock in the evening,
taking an hour at noon for lunch, and
when her principal returned rested,
rosy and cheerful, the beautiful daugh>
ter of Judge Gary doubtless felt abund-
antly paid for her unique and practical
sympathy.-Detroit Free Press.
