Literary and Scientific Training.
At the twenty fifth anniversary Of Cornell
University DIR. Taylor said in speaking OF the
higher education Of women. that education
was unit. and that We must stop talking
about mems and women's education as sep.
arate things. One of the oldest professors in
the university. speaking Of a book OF original
scientific articles sent to him by his former
pupils. pronounced an article written by a
woman student as so superior. accurate and
comprehensive that it alone forever disproved
that women were not capable OF as fine scen-
tinc work as men. Another interesting fact
we learn from the great coeducational school
is that one woman has this year won her way
to position on the editorial staff OF the college
paper through having contributed more and
better articles last year than most OF her polit-
ical superiors.

In quaint old collection OF woodcuts repre-
sentinG spectral appartions from tho realms
OF the departed. there is u particularly grew
some shade called Tho Spectre Bride" The
remarkable thing about 1t is that tho ghost is
nothing but clothes. Sleeves 1t has. but no
hands: skirts. but no feet: n hood. but no face
or neck or head Now, 1t is this particular
kind OF a spectre that is haunting and harrow
ing tho anxious souls OF women fair to-day
the ghost OF clothes. The apparition is par
ticularly menacing and terrifying this season
for two reasons. One Is that the limited range
OF new modes makes dress distinction entirely
dependent upon richness Of material and dec
Grafton. and the other that. owing to the gen.
eral financial condition. 1t is quito impossible
for wives and daughters to convince husbands
and fathers OF tho necessity for more gen.
erous allowances Every thrifty man. even to

omize by cutting down his wifes allowance.

Much Discomfort In Madrid over tn
Situation Theto.
Tho dIscontent over the defti 1t at Melilla is
growing. The latest reports state all tho
forts, including Melilla, are practically be-
sieged. The provisioning Of the troops re-
quires repeated engagements and involves
serious loss Of life. While attachments Of
dragons from Dciaglo werc being landed on
the 9Th ut Melilla, the Moors, In defiance of
the guns Of the fort, approached within 200
feet Of the steamboat landing. The soldiers
fired volley after volley Mt tho Moors, who
only retreated after several OF their number
had been killed.
The Sultan OF Morocco Is reported to have
arrived at Tahlate on October 7, where he
afterward proceeded toward the city Of Nor
nio, one OF the capitols of the empire. The
sultan Is believed to have heard Of the rising
of Arabs around Melilla, and to be marching
upon that place with the intention Of chas-
Using the tribes now in arms against the
Spanish.
The Arabs become bolder every hour and
are increasing In numbers. They are well
supplied with ammunition and horses. The
spaniards arc hnrassed every day.
At night the Arabs approach tho shore and
open fire upon the war ships until the early
morning hours drive them away. Tho situa-
tion Is rendered all the more exciting from
the fact that the government declares that
the cable communications with Melilla Is
again to be Interrupted.
