THEORY AND APPLICATION.

In discussing the part that women
have taken in public affairs within the
past few years gentleman recently
objected on the ground of their lack of
experience He did not explain how
experience was to be had except by
actual work in the field, whatever and
wherever it may be.

The pluckiest school teacher IN Con-

is Miss Effie Walcott. of Newtown.
She teaches a small district school in
Lands End, two miles from the Haw-
leyville station on the Housatonic rail-
road She lives in Newtown and goes
TO Hawleyville on the train every morn
ing. On Wednesday, the day of the
recent blizzard, she found that there
would be no train. owing to the road
being blockaded with snow. Wrapping
her cloak closely about her, pinning her
skirt up to the height of her knees,
with pair of rubber boots on her feet,
she started out and walked the distance
from Newtown to Hawleyville, little
over ten miles, and then to the school
house, two miles further on. She suf-
fered no inconvenience from the re-
markable walk, and won the hearts of
the district committee by her plucky
exhibition of endurance N. Y. Sun.

IN W0MAN'S BEHALF.
THREE NoTep WoMEN.
What They Have Accomplished in The
Different Caliings.

What They Have Accomplished In heir
Different Caliings.
Prof. Lucy Salmon, Of Vassar college,
has made an interesting comparison Of
the wages received by women in various
professions and branches Of industry.
Teachers in Boston receive an average
salary of six hundred and twenty dol
lars and from this they must pay board
a1d the expenses insepara bic from their
position. Cooks receive on an average
two hundred and sevent5-five dollars,
10 which should be added the expenses
of light, fuel, laundry and food, making
total of five hundred and six dollars,
about one hundred dollars year less
than the teachers, while the latter have
spent years in acquiring the education
necessary to their profession. As Prof.
Salmon justly says, this leaves the cook
a woman of wealth in comparison; but
there is not the slightest reason to sup
pose, despite the difference ia salaries

cruited from the ranks of the teachers

Mrs. Abby Hopper Gibbons, daughter
Of J. I. Hopper, the Quaker philanthro-
pist and founder OF the Woman's Prison
association Of New York, has recently
died, after long life filled with good
and memorable deeds for her fellow
men. Mrs. Gibbons gave much of her
life to hospital work and was at the
front during the war. Her husband
was the author of the well-known war
lyric, I'VE are Coming, Father Abra-
ham She was one of the founders Of
the New York Infant asylum, also of
the Diet Kitchen association for the re-
lief of the sick poor, and as president
of the Woman's Prison association she
directed the investigation which so
largely contributed to the success of
the police matron's bill. Mr.. Hopper
was known as a helper of slaves, and
their house was burned in the draft
