Never in the years that | have lived
have women dressed more sensibly than
they do today. That some men rail at

others rail at the girl of furbelows and
flounces. Let the ''tailor made" girl
smile at their SCOTS, for she has so much

member the street costumes OF only a
few years ago wonder how we stood it.
Now, with short plain skirt, plain
waist, plain jacket, plain hat and COM
mon sense shoes woman can walk with
ease and pleasure. in sunshine or storm,
and unless she wears her hair short and
carries cane | cannot see but that she
is just as feminine in her appearance as
If she wore Gainsborough hat, hob
bled along on French heels and dragged
beflonnced skirts through the mud.
For fifteen years have been fighting
for Just such a style OF dress as women
have adopted today. Now it has come,
and sincerely hope that it will never

she may indoors OF in the evening at

skillfully adjusted TO replace the miss

her tardy but welcome appearance.

Some years ago tobacconist discov-
sTed the utility of tin foil for wrapping
chewing tobaccos. Heretofore paper
had been exclusively used for the pur-
pose. but il did not serve TO keep the
moisture of the atmosphere away from
the tobacco nor preserve the natural
moisture Of the tobacco from the effects
Of dry or heated atmosphere. Paper
also absorbed the aroma of the weed and
was not sufficiently lasting. Therefore
tin foil was used for wrappers But il
became costly and could only be rolled
20 certain thickness or thinness be-
yond which the ingenuity of man seemed
10 find il impossible to 60. The fact was
that no rollers could bo made to sustain
the pressure necessary to mashing the
tin foil 10 leaf sufficiently thin to suit
the manufacturer.
Many ingenious inventors struggled
with the proposition for months and
gave up the problem as unsolvable,
when a simple workman about the shop
one day. after rolling two sheets to the
customary thinness. put the two sheets
together into the rollers and made both
halves as thin as one was before. This
was as simple as standing an egg ON end,
but IT created revolution in the manu-
facture Of tin foil for tobacconists' use
and made mint Of money for the boss
Of the discoyerer. The man had struck
upon the idea by accident. but the dis
covery was as great and rs profitable as
II he had been great inventor and
spent years of his valuable life over the
question. Boston Herald.

In May, 1890, there died at Perignat
tAinl a retired captain of artillery named
Lesgourgnes. knight Of the Legion Of
Honor. His dog, spaniel, answering
to the name Of Black. accompanied the
funeral procession to the cemetery Of
Izernore. Ever since the date Of inter
ment Black has walked the distance OF
nine miles which separates Perignat
from Izernore, climbed over the wall OF
the cemetery, and gone TO lie down on
the grave Of his master every day at the
same hour. Nesthcr the stone throwing
of the village children nor the efforts OF
passers by to draw of his attention have
prevented the accomplishment of hi:
self imposed task. For the last sixteen
months Black has performed this daily

to church instead As the father him
self was little given TO church going,
and the daughter had never been but

unique and absolutely delightful, so she
accepted the alternative eagerly-much

at meeting in their clubrooms in West
Eighteenth street, have adopted resoiu-
tions promising TO assist in the move
ment Of Mrs Candace Wheeler and Mrs
Elizabeth b. Custer to establish in this
city hotel and apartment house for
women. II should be conducted, the res
olutions state, on strictly business
basis, apart from any charitable idea.
''Such hotel and apartment house"
II is added, would tend to foster the
spirit Of cooperation and generous toll
Grafton among business and professional
women. 1t would broaden and intensity
the feeling Of sympathy and comrade-
ship among them, and help them to un-
derstand that their interests are one,
thus realizing the noble ideal of those
with whom the enterprise originated.
We therefore urge women who have the
interests of their own sex at heart to
register their names in order to mani.
fest their approval OF this undertaking. !"

The passing of the Yale entrance
examination by Miss Colt, OF New
London, may not have been in vain.
The public discussion created thereby
last June has been followed by a quiet
discussion among members Of the Yale
faculty and of the corporation and others,
and has developed the fact that Yale
is not so much opposed to the admission
Of women as has been supposed. To
quote one Of the faculty:
"There is no thought whatever, and no
probability that there will be any
thought of admitting women to study
In the same classes as the men. But
there every sposition-indeed, a great
desire-to open the doors Of the univer-
sity TO them on equal terms. Without
any disparagement to the various sem
inaries in the country, it is certain that
no girls school could offer the advan-
tages possessed by Yale university.
Nothing is needed but the money.
President Dwight said to me at last
commencement that he would be pleased
if Yale could establish woman's an.
nex."-New Haven Letter.

An ingenious and simple instrument
has been devised for the protection OF
surface men at work on the railways
The inventor, Sir William Arrol, was
led TO apply his mind TO this matter in
consequence of the numerous fatalities
which have lately occurred among that
class of railway servants in England.
The instrument consists of a steel spring
connected with a portable electric bat
terry and bell by coil of wire two or
three hundred yards hong. When the
spring has been bolted into position on
the inner side Of the rail and almost flush
with the top Of the rail the battery Is
carried TO the neighborhood OF where
the workmen are engaged, the connec-
tion being kept up by the coil of wire,
which is unwound to the necessary
length.
When train comes along the spring
is depressed by the fianges OF the wheel
as they pass over and two metallic but
tons. one on the under side Of the spring
and the other ON the upper side of the
sole plate, are brought into contact and
complete an electric circuit supplied
from the battery, ringing the bell at the
battery and thus warning the workmen
Of the approaching train. The instru-
ments are TO be kept at the signal boxes
along the line So as TO be readily avail
able by the workmen. Sir William Arrol
does not intend 10 patent the invention.
His sole desire is 10 render the surface
mans life less dangerous one aud he
gives all railway companies permission
to manufacture rs many AS they please.

IN. Ned Of the south.

Many feel that the greatest educa-
tional need Of the south today is Of an
institution that will provide for young
women as thorough an education and as
broad culture as is provided for young
men at the University Of Virginia, the
Vanderbilt or the Johns Hopkins-an in
stitution that will not be in competition
with any existing female college in sEs
south, but will hold itself above them
all hy establishing and rigidly maintain
ing high conditions Of entrance as well
as Of graduation. and whose pride will
be the high quality Of the work it does,
not the number Of pupils it enrolls,
though numbers would also come in due
course Of time. The active, earnest,
vigorous young womanhood Of the south
Is demanding such an institution. Surely
a demand go just and need so widely
and seriously felt cannot go long unmet.

ao,h.r Tr,umnb for wom.n.

The fair sex has achieved fresh vic
tory in Michigan, where the supreme
court has delivered its decision that a
woman may legally perform all the
functions Of a county clerk. The case
was that of Miss Marguerite Burr. OF
Flint, who, in tho usual course of her
duties, issued regular writ OF attach
ment. The legality of the act was ques-
toned ON the broad, general ground that
a woman cannot act as a county clerk.
The supreme court, however. holds that
the choice of deputy by county clerk
is not limited by race, sex, color or age,
as the Office is wholly ministerial. Thus
is lovely woman, in Michigan at least.
