MINIATURES, Sept. 1S.-The
business sessions of the Odd Fell
lows Grand Lodge begin today, and
much important legislation is ex-
pected to result from the session,
as weighty matters are to be con-
sidered. Among the more impor-
tant is the final disposal of the
military branch of the order, the
Patriarchs Militant. For several
years this has been source of weak
ness to the order rather than the
strength that was expected when
it was first established, and which
seemed to be promised by the first
success of organization. 1t was
thought by many and openly
claimed that the cause of it's prac-
teal decline was owing to the ar
bitrary management of militant
affairs by its head, General Under
wood. The best friends of the mil
liant degree hope to see it revived
under more popular management,
and become the success it deserves
to be, but recognize the fact that
upon the legislation of the present
session depends the question of it's
success or failure,

Tho ClinSing Vine.

The figure of woman as the clinging vine
has been altogether overworked. It may
be pertinent in individual cases, but it does
not represent accurately the relation which
women sustain to men. either in this coun-
try or in many others. Among the labor
ing classes the world over the women do as
much work as the men. and perhaps on the
whole a good deal more. They do not need
to cling to their husbands or brothers to do
it, and in ''higher walks'' of life, if we ac-
cept conventional distinctions as true ones,
it is men who appear frequently as the
shape of a wife.
women, says: "What in particular distin-
guishes the Partisan woman from other
women is her good humor and clear head.
She knows how to use her gifts no less in
society than in business. She is often the
real leader and director of the affairs which
carry the husbands name. While monsieur
travels about, giving orders, taking pur-
chases, cashing checks, visiting factories,
ETC., madam sits in the magasin and holds
all the threads of the business in her hand.
She has often that prevoyance which is
usually credited to the husband, and his
frmness and courage united with feminine
tact and quick perception. At home, as
mother and wife, she shows the same ad-
mirable qualities.
Tho same praise might be awarded to
many American women, though Ameri-
cans have not shown their good sense to
the same extent as Frenchmen in takinC
their wives into business confidence

The American Woman's Illuatratet:
World prints the result Of an interesting
experiment made by n dozen young women
nnder the direction OF DIR. Sargent to de-
terminc the influence Of tight clothing upon
the action OF the heart. Tho test WAS tho
running of 40 yards In loosc gymnasium
garments. and covering the same distance
with the corsets on. The running time WAS
. minutes and 80 seconds for each trial, and
in order that there should Ike no cardiac ex-
citemcnt or depression following the test
the second trial WIS made the next dny.
Before beginning the running the aver-
age heart impulse was "a beats to the min
ute. After running the above named dis
tance the heart impulse was 152 beats to
the minute, the average natural waist
girth being 25 inches. The next day cor
sets were worn during the exercise. and the
average girth Of waist was reduced to "a
inches. The same distance was run In the
same time by all, and Immediately after

to be 1GS beats per minute.
DR.. Sargent says that he never feels justi-
fed in advising an athlete whose heart i'm

exercise to enter running or rowing race,
and from this may be inferred the physio-
logical loss entailed upon the system in
women who force this important organ to

A tiny garden can be made by cutting u
piece of sheet wadding to fit the top Of Il
bowl or wide mouthed jar, which is filled
with water just high enough for the bottom
of the wadding to touch it, Two or three
small bits of charcoal will keep the water
pure, and when all is arranged the top Of the
wadding is sprinkled with seeds of mignon-
ette, sweet pea or any other easily grown
plant. Tho roots pierce down through the
wadding and are nourished by the water
while leaves and blossoms in II reasonable
time conceal the top. There is but one
flower more beautiful than the morning,
glory on the outside of the bay window, and
that is morning glory trained up on the
inside of the window and in full bloom
while the winter storms are raging and the
Thermometer is below zero. They cnn be

Miss Willard gives the following excel

ceptor in the woman's college in Evanston,

Don't Whip the Childreu,

The old ironclad methods of punishment
are happily fast passing away. There has
been vast change In public sentiment dur
ing the last century. The ''rod is spared"
these days by humane parents. So are the
dark closet and other horrors. But, it may
be asked, do the gentle reproofs, the chill
ing looks, the deprivation of treats, ac-
complish the much to be desired resultsf
Are the children better behaved than Of
yore?
There may not be so much outward fear
of their elders. There may be less awe and
reverence, fewer outward and visible signs
of an inward respect for authority, but
surely there is less inward, corroding rebel
lion. While children may not love their
parents any more. they are on better terms
with them than formerly. The father who
is chummy with his boy, who gets down to
that eager, inquiring, restless little soul and
explains. visits and encourages, does not
need to cut birch gad or buy horsewhip
in order to maintain discipline. And the
mother who synpathizes, cuddles and
plays with her children can keep her slip
pers on her feet and her hairbrush on the
dressing table. The holding off of children
is fruitful source of disobedience. They
need love, tenderness and sympathy as
much as flowers need air and sunshine

Miss Mary Cutler,s Farm.

Miss Mary Cutler at Holliston. Mass,
owns and manages nursery farm which
affords pleasure to all visitors and knowl-
edge to many. Inheriting the homestead
and business from her father nine years ago,
she began the task of showing what an in
telligent, energetic woman may do, and has
made money growing choice trees, plants
and flowers for sale. While all the branches
of market gardening and nursery are under
her supervision, she can entertain visitors
with all the ease of fashionable dame. She
is good musician, paints pictures which
would please an artist and can converse
upon any topic of the day. Such woman
is not ''buried" by being profit making

Beauty Abroad.

The question of the beauty of English
women is being vigorously debated. Grant
Allen records his observations now COM
pared with 25 years ago. when he first went
to France. He says:
II was struck by the extreme plainness
of the French peasant girls, the visible un-
intelligence of the bourgeoisie, and the mere
sprightliness without real beauty of the
upper class women. In England, judged
by American standards, l thought the
women of the lower classes heavy and
dumpy, of the middle classes often dull
looking, though frequently pretty; of the
upper classes cold, but handsome.
'After 25 years l see little change in
France, but much change in England.
Beauty, to my eye, is distinctly more fire.
quent. Intelligent beauty is immensely
commoner. Bright, pretty girls now abound
here and there in the lower class The up
per class remains much where it was, but
in the middle classes the improvement ia
unspeakable. Prettiness is general, and
real beauty is much more frequent than
formerly Girls are better grown, have finer
figures, look much more intelligent and
possess better chiseled features on an aver
age than their mothers. New York SUMS

A Tribute to Lucy Stone.

Frances f. Willard contributes to Lady
Henry Somerset's paper, the London Wom-
ans Herald, an appreciative sketch of Mrs.
Lucy Stone. Miss Willard says: From
my earliest recollection 1 have known of
her character and work, for she was stu
dent in Oberlin college when my parents
were there, and used to hear my mother
speak of the independence of character of
Lucy Stone, which led her to decline on
graduation day the honors she had earned
because the essay she had written was to
be read by the professor of English litera-
ture instead of by it's author"
Miss Willard gives an outline of Mrs
Stones life and says: ''As II pioneer i'll the
most unpopular of all reforms, Mrs. Stone
has perhaps suffered more than almost any
of her associates. When the woman move
ment' has moved on to victory, and no arti-
fetal limitations hedge her from helping
humanity to the limit of her power the
name of Lucy Stone will stand beside that
of John Hampden in the history of the An
glo-Saxon race.o
