THE SUPERIORITY OF WOMEN.
An Old Custom That Will Some Day Give
Way to a Better One.

How long can it reasonably be eX-
pected that the old custom will last in
Difference to which wives are content to
be known by the surnames of their
husbands? All the recent tests tend to
show the superiority of the female
mind to that of the male. Mrs. Alice
Freeman Palmer in a recent address
supported the cause of coeducation
with the argument that nothing in
the world will take the foolishness and
romantic notions out of girl so quick
as to work with young men and find
out how little they know" Of course
marriage has the same effect; but after
n girl is married it is too late for her to
save her maiden name. If she arrives
before marriage to the sophisticated
stage that Mrs Palmer describes, she
may very reasonably demur to giving
up a name which she feels competent
to distinguish for one which will be
handicapped by her husbands relative
inferiority. All along the line this
summer women have triumphed.
In the recent assignment of gen.
eral fellowships by the Chicago
university young women got so dispro-
portionate a share of the spOils as to
scandalize the authorities. When the
London Geographical society declined in
the spring to admit women to its MEM
bership, the society's action was re-
ceived not at all as evidence of the in
feriority of women, but purely as a
new proof of the limitations of men.
Ten women passed the Cambridge
Mathematical Tripos this year, and two
of them came out wranglers- Three
women took honors at Oxford, at which
university also honor examinations
were this year opened to women in
three new courses At London uni
versity, Miss Ogilvie, a prodigy of cru

with the substance, and abstain from

Mrs. MAGNUssEN, of Iceland, one of

ONE TOUCH OF NATURE
Made Susan Il. Anthony Kin With All Her
Audience.

Audience.
1t was at one of the great congresses
which have formed the nucleus in Chi
cago for the notables from every coun-
try and cline interested in the advance
ment of culture and the dissemination
of progressive ideas. The crowd had
quite overfowed one room and filed
another in the Art Palace, under prom
Use that the celebrated speakers would
repeat their programme to the overflow
meeting. The night was insufferably
hot the people disappointed and i'm
patient. To make the wait less tedious
Susan b. Anthony was called upon to
address them, and she did so in the
whimsical and sarcastic vein with
which she wells an earnestness of
thought and purpose, to which she has
devoted lifetime of effort and sacri-
fee. Still, this crowd was not a suf-
frage gathering. They We're not in SYM
pathy with the stron z faced woman in
the plain gown who addressed them.
She knew intuitively that she was not
holding them. Suddenly she stepped
forward to the edge of the platform
and said confidentially with little
smile: Il didn't know / was going to
be called upon to address you this even
ing. If l had l should have put on my
other gown" In an instant she had
won them. every one. The one touch
of nature, of vanity in this strong little
woman with the iron-gray hair combed
down each side her face, made every
woman her sister, every man her friend.
If vote could have been taken on the
spot everyone in the audience would
have cast ballot for Susan b. Anthony
and her platform.

Registering the Tide by Clock.

The chamber of commerce of Rouen
have erected a clock tower which gives
the time on three sides and the height
of the tide on the fourth, namely that
fronting on the harbor. The tide indi-
Gator consists essentially of a float
which by means of a cord and counter
weight hung on drum, actuates q
series of shafts with bevel wheel gear
ing and moves hand or pointer on a
dial like that of clock, marked with
the necessary figures to show the level
of the tide. The dials are of opal glass
and are illuminated at night The
clock has an apparatus for distributing
the time to other clocks in Rouen and
also for unifying the time, after the
method adopted in Paris.-Jewelera

STUFFED TOMATOES.
Recipe of the French Inventor Who FRS
Prepared Them.

Recipe of the French Inventor W no First
Prepared Them.
1t is true that the tomato, like the
potato, belongs to the family of night
shades; but it draws its color from the
rays of the sun, instead of negotiating
in darkness and burrowing in the earth.
You get, perhaps, much more nutri-
ment from the homely brown tuber
than from it's sunny cousin, but when
summer Is here, and the very fibers cry
out for acids and juices, the tomato is
so cooling and grateful a vegetable
that you lift it from such humble
nomenclature and call it fruit. You
are hardly content with leaving the to-
mato to the salad bowl. You like to
make more of it and have more of it.
And it lends itself to savoriness with
complete success.
OF the many forms of tomato cook
cry stuffing is the most appetizing.
This way of preparing the rich, ruby
balls was invented by an extremely
clever Frenchman, Grenoid de IL
Regniere, and here is his own recipe:
Select firm, large and ripe tomatoes
and with sharp knife cut deep piece
from the stem end of each-always the
stem end. Press the fruit between the
palms to extract as many of the seeds
as possible without injury to the shape
of the fruit.
Make a simple force meat, or use
massage meat, to which add a little
minced parseley, shallot and tarragon.
IN mixing these ingredients rub Glove

rounded by group of fan bearers.
In Greece traces of the fan have been
found as early as 500 B. c. Fans were
always popular among the women of
Rome, and were often used by the men.
At dinner it was common custom for
slaves to stand behind the chairs of the
guests waving long-handled fans. This
custom prevailed throughout our south
ern states during the days of slavery,
as it still does to a certain extent. l
have often dined in the south where
two or three young negresses stood
round the table waving long fans made
of peacock feathers.
The medieval fan was made of eagle
or peacock feathers in a variety of
forms, and fastened with handles of
gold, silver or ivory, often set with
precious stones of great value.
Catherine de Medicis is said to have
been the first to introduce a fan in
France, and after her it was generally
used. The fan she used could be folded
like those of the present day. No
court toilet was considered complete
without fan, and during the reign of
Henry ii. and of the Louises fans be-
came objects of such luxury that they
often cost hundreds of dollars.
In England fans are less used than in
almost any other country. In Spain they
are so much and so generally used that
life would be incomplete to Spanish
woman without her fan. The women of
Spain carry on conversations with their
fans; they have regular code of sig
nails which express their ideas, or
rather feelings. In ''Contarini" Flem-
ing Disraeli graphically describes the
manipulations of the fan by the fair
Spaniard.
In Japan and China the fan occupies
most important place in daily life.
The handsome japanese paper fans
are most in vogue for ordinary use.
Very pretty ones may be had for sew
enty-five cents.
Feather, lace and r ibbon fans are
most favored for evening-dress. Three
novelties introduced this spring are
here given. One is made of rosettes
of ribbon fastened on the sticks, AID
is a very handsome affair. Another is
of ribbon having nine sticks, over
which the ribbon seems to be woven
like basket work. This called witch's
fan; opened one way, it all falls apart,
to the CONSERVATION of the uninitiated,
who imagine the fan is wrecked; but
opened the other way, presto! it is re-
stored to a perfect fan.
The third fan shown is one-half lace
and the other half flowers. When
closed it looks like a bouquet, and at
the opera or theater serves the purpose
of both fan and nosegay.
The outside hanging pockets, which
are a necessity to some women, are
made this spring in varied shapes and
colors. Those most favored are of the
envelope shape, crocheted on rings
with silk to match the gown with
