Miss Stevenson at wellesley.

Miss Julia Stevenson, the second daugh-
ter of Vice President Stevenson, finds
Wellesley life very fascinating and quite
a change from the home life to which she
has been accustomed.
She likes the cosmopolitan atmosphere
for which Wellesley is celebrated, and
she likes the generous spirit shown by
the students, who esteem each girl for
her own true worth regardless of wealth
or social position.
"1t seemed very queer at first that we
were all obliged to have our daily house
work duties" said Miss Stevenson, ''but
mine is not very heavy work, ard do
not object to it at all. My task is to
clear off the lunch tables at noon. 1t
comes at time of day, too, when am
very glad to get the cobwebs out of my
BRAIN" she added, with jolly little
laugh.
Miss Stevenson is very glad that
Wellesley is girls college,"
"You do not approve of coeducation,
thenY'
''Well, l do for men, said Miss Steven
son. II think for men it is an excellent
thing. have known two or three very
awkward and clumsy young men to re-
turn from coeducational college quite
transformed into polished young gentle
men," Miss Stevenson laughingly admit
ted, however, that if all young ladies
were to denounce coeducation it could
hardly be expected to prosper.-New

American Girls Abroad.

By the latest foreign advices Ameri-
can girls are warned that they have
nothing further to hope for in England.
They are, however, not left without
hope. They are thoughtfully reminded
that there are fine fielGs for enterprise in
Malta and Italy. Malta is a small place,
not very dressy. The best sort of army
and navy company is to be met out there,
and few good letters of introduction
and little money will go great way.
1t seems that some American girls
have found this out for themselves, and
already there is a rustling in the British
dovecots there. In Italy the Americans
have it all their own way. The Polish
families allude to the Quirinal as the
Americans court. The best places are
filed by. Americans. Queen Marguerite
in speaking English chooses American
expressions. 1t is said that son of the
Duke of Aosta has fallen in love with an
American convent bred girl and wants
10 marry her. Altogether it seems that,
taking things by and large, things are
not SO bad rs they might be, and the ca
reer of the American girl as a dashing
matrimonial buccaneer is not to be cut
short.--New York Sun.

The Vintage OF 1898.

From all sources OF information it
NAV be safe estimate that the vintage
of 1898 will be about $4,000 900 gallone,
an increase of 100000 over that Of last
year.
Some of those best informed say that
the California vintage will probably
show decrease rather than an increase
during the next 10 years. The wine in
dustry is in rather a languiehing con-
ditsop. Few or no vineyards OF wine
grapes have been planted within the
past year or two. and the prospect ia not
encouraging. Phylloxera continues to
reduce the acreage of bearing vines.
Napa county, it is said, will lose from
1000 to 1000 acres this year from the
pest. the same destructive insect is at
work in other localities. 1t has appeared
in the Santa Clara valley and at Mission
San Jose; also in San Joaquin, Placer
and Solano counties.
There has been no attempt to conceal
the facts, the grape growers recognizing
the truth that the best safeguard against
the spread OF the pest lies in full public
ity, SO that where danger exists the
proper remedies or precautions may be
taken. The use Of resistant stock gives
security, but only about 10 per cent OF
the vineyards in Napa and Sonoma are
as yet protected. As old vines have
died, many of them have been replaced
with resistant types.

Norclties rn Ronnet pin..

At one time every one fastened on her
hat with piece of elastic. Then this
was discarded, and far from ornamental
black and. white headed pins, as the case
might be, were used. The appearance
of many pretty little bonnet was
marred by the reckless use of these un-
slightly articles. But we have changed
all that, and nowadays bonnet pins are
made a special study with the most
charming results. It is necessary to have
a set Of pins to tone with each hat or
bonnet, and they may be obtained in all
shapes, sizes and colors. Some Of the
prettiest simulate flowers. Blue corn
flowers have tiny crystal glistening in
the center of the stamens, and brill
hancy is added to counterfeit Neapolitan
and wood violets by the same means.
Pink tipped daisies make bewitching
pins, as do sweet pea blossoms in natural
tints. Pinheads set with crystals are
always effective. OF more costly and
elaborate designs there is an immense
variety. Moonstones are much used in
conjunction with diamonds, and many
fanciful ideas are carried out in the
multicolored stones which have been 30
fashionable of late.-Jewelers Review.

Connecticut women yoters.

Considering that school suffrage was
granted to women in Connecticut but a
few months ago, and that the elections
last month afforded them the first op-
portunity to vote, they have shown much
interest. They voted in over one-half of
the towns. In Meriden they nominated
Mrs. Kate Bohme for school visitor and
for membership on the high school COM
mittee. They attended the party caucuses
and secured her Endorsement by the Re
publicans, Populists and Prohibitionists.
Mrs. Bohme was elected on the high
school committee and only failed by
few votes Of election as school visitor.
The first woman to vote in Meriden
was Mrs. Alice Ballou Twiss, wife of
Bruce G. Twiss, clerk in the postoffice
and a graduate of the State Normal
school. Glastonbury ladies, under the
lead of Mrs. Hale, whose husband is a
member of the Connecticut legislature,
had a very enthusiastic meeting, and a
large number voted. Mrs. Ada Crosby
was elected school visitor. Miss Susan
Cheney, in Manchester, and Mrs. Fannie
A. Warner, in Rocky Hill, were elected
school visitors. Nine hundred women
voted in Hartford. .--Meriden Letter.

The Woman's Era.

The North Ohio Methodist Episcopal
conference, consisting of $50 members,
was lately held at Wooster and was ad-
dressed by Rev. j. W. Hamilton. He
spoke on the New Era" and divided
this century into four periods of % years
each. The first was the period of the
birth of the missionary spirit and organ
ization; the second marked the birth of
the antislavery spirit; the third saw the
beginning of the legal emancipation of
women; the fourth marks the develop
ment of the humanitarian spirit, ths care
of the weak and derelict. Speaking of
the place woman was to occupy, he said,
SIN this new era woman is to be nothing
higher and nothing lower than the sister
of man, and man is to be nothing higher
and nothing lower than the brother of
woman" 1t was magnificent address.

Pennsylvania factory law: "Out of this
law, and its enforcement by the devoted

pointed under it, have grown in the past
five years the practical enfranchisement
of women and children employees. The
puny children and haggard women who

night are now the exceptions. They

Apomestic Science.

The servant girl problem has reached
such a crisis in Massachusetts, that a
really sensible though high sounding
movement has been made. Schools are
to be established where cooking, wash
ing, etc., are to be taught, and the new
science Of housekeeping is to be styled
oekology. Training schools of this de-
scription have long been needed, and it
will be found that intelligent graduates
from q course of oekology will do much
to make the fast vanishing home life en-
joyable. Our good wishes are with the
coming oekologists. Halifax Critic.

blood began to pour from the ball. A
physician was summoned, who de-
clared that the thousandth OF an
inch further aud the horn would
have penetrated the brain, and death
ensued. Star Beauty, being of the

Coed Walkers,

On the farm the economy of time is
one of the things to be looked after
rs closely as anything else, and with
nearly all kinds of Iarm work the
kind Of horses that are kept has much
to do with this. Nearly or quite ali
the farm work that is done with the
teams is done at walk, aud the diff
ference between the amount of work
that eau be accomplished with a
team that walks right along at Il
brisk gait, and one that needs to be
constantly urged to get them along
at all, is u very considerable item ;
and when it is considered that there
will be this difference nearly every
day that the team works, it is easy TO
see that the time saved is an item
worth looking after.
Some horses are naturally fast
walkers, and need but little if any
training to make them good walkers ;
but in many cases if good walk is
obtained il must be secured, or rather
developed, by training when the colt
is being learned to walk.
One way Of doing this is to learn
