MIXED CLUBS.
Growing Opinion That They VIII be
Popular Before Long.


Popular Before Long.
A growing opinion is that the COM
ing club will be the mixed one where
men and women will study together
the questions that present themselves
and work out together the problems
of the day. And this. it is asserted,
will not be consolidation of the dis
tinctively women's and mems clubs as
they now exist, but merging of the
best elements OF each into fresh organi-
zat;ons.
Following this m;xed-club sentiment.
it is not surprising to find Mr.. Stead in
London journal advocating cooper
ative homes for the unmarried" By
this he means that the cooperative
homes for spinsters and those for bach
elors should combine their housekeep-
ing arrangements into sort of ideal
lied boarding house. where Mrs. Grun-
dy would be appeased with ''an expe-
rienced lady housekeeper' and where
companies of detached or unattached
men and woman could find congenial
acquaintance. The limitations of the
word congenial Mr.. Stead insists upon,
and admits that this matter of selection
is the weak point in his scheme.
The rotion, in any form. grows out

JAPANESE POETESS.
Mrs. Mae st. John Bran,hnll. the Author
of Japarese .yIngies.

Among the pretty poetesses recently
at Chicago for the worlds congresses
of women is Mrs. Mae St. John Bran
hall, of Ell Paso, Tex.
Mrs. Bramhall was born in New York
state. but, having Travelled around the
world so much, she has become cosmo-
politan in her habits and tastes. She
has written several books, the most
successful of which are Japanese
Jingles now in its second edition. and
Around the World at Leisure Letters"
Like everyone else who has visited
Japan. Mrs. Bramhall fell in love with
that eastern country. The prettiest of
her ''Jingles'' is the one which tells of
her regret ON leaving Japan. Like Sir
Edwin Arnold, her muse always selects
a Japanese theme and her ideas give
evidence of life in bungaloe and spins
in a jinrickshaw.
Before going home the natives of the
Japanese village, with whom Mrs.
Bramhall can converse freely in their
native tongue. propose taking her
around the fair grounds in her favor
ite little Japanese carriage and treating
her to a spread of tea and rolls and
rice, afterwards, to show how honored
guest she is among them. The Japa-
nese appreciate highly the honor of
having an American poetess who
writes to them and for them. And in
the matter of entertaining her, they
are not going to be whit behind the
observation-disclosures Prescott.

FOR FRIENDLESS FEMININITY.
What a st. Louis Woman Has Done for
Less Fortunate Sisters.

| Less Fortunate Sisters.
In the suburbs of st. Louis a literary
woman, interested in the elevation and
welfare of women, has devised a plan
fot delicate and practical help for wom-
en- less fortunate than herself, that
reaches the class of sufferers quite
without the pale of public charity and
more deserving than those who gener-
ally enjoy the benefcence of the char
liable. Self-supporting. self-respecting
women are the only ones for whom no
sympathy is manifested. no homes or
retreat or retreats or asylums are pro-
vided when illness or misfortune makes
little temporary help most necessary
The educated working woman is tho
proudest and most dignified lady in tho
land. She never parades her misfor-
tunes She is the most difficult woman
in the world to reach with help. But
this Mrs. Holmes, of St Louis. makes her
pretty house n veritabl haven of refuge
to women weak and weary from over
work. close confinement or illness.
Once an inmate of her home they are
not made to feel their dependence in
the slightest degree, but are treated as
members of the family, supplied with
entertaining books, and strengthened
and refreshed in the atmosphere of re-
f1nement and unseliishness until both
heart and body are strong again for
the battle of life. 1t is just this sort of
rest that many women of superior
minds in the wOrk-a-day world need at
times, and which few women, who give
of dollars for the rescue of
the depraved and the succor of the des-
titute and idle ever think of giving.

A Peculiarly of Greek Art.

Archaologists have observed that in
Greek statues the male eye is strongly
arched, while the female eye has a
rather fiattened surface; and referring
to accounts by the older anatomists
who have affirmed such difference to
exist they have seen in this fresh
proof of the exact observation of ma
ture by the ancient Greeks. The rule
is not without exceptions, for the cor
nea in the Zeus of Otricoli has quite a
fat form. Herr Greet recently set
himself to inquire whether such SEX
ual difference actually exists. and from
individual measurements of the radius
of the cornea in the horizontal meridian
he gets an average of 1.S3 nm. for men
and 7.S2 nm. for women (Donder gives
7.S5S and 1.199), so the difference is so
small as to be imperceptible to the
naked eye. Measurement of other di-
mensions gave but minute differences
also. The author concludes that the
Greeks from artistic motives) did not
in this case follow nature.-N. Y. Ad.

In W0MAN'S BEHALF.
A REMARKABLE WOMAN.
How Mrs. Coston Succeeded i'm Having
Her Signals Adopted by the NAVY

Her Signals Adopted by the Navy.
One of Washington,s remarkable
women is Mrs. Martha J. Coston. nov
advanced in years, but brilliant in
mind as ever, and able to look bach
upon life full of achievements. Mrs
Costonis the woman who. almost single
handed, and in the face OF tremendous
difficulties, brought the Coston signals
TO their present perfection. Left a
widow at the age of u, with three
children and no resources. she set out
bravely to develop an idea which she
| found indicated among her husband S
papers. This idea was to furnish col
ored signals at night for ships in the
same way as colored flags were used
by day. The trouble was to find the
chemicals which would produce the
necessary colors, red, white and green,
in sufficient intensity. Mrs. Coston
worked at this problem for many
months, and after series of failures
finally succeeded, and the Coston sig
nails were adopted by the American
navy and used during our late war
What they did during that war is
known to every naval officer, although
scant justice has been rendered to the
pluclSy woman who furnished them.
Admiral Porter took Fort Fisher by the
aid of the Coston signals, starting the
battle at night. as he was able to do by
this means. His success broke the back
of the war. 1t was the Coston signals
which saved twenty-seven lives of men
on board the famous Monitor lost off
Cape Hatteras
1t is pleasure to hear Mrs. Coston
tell of her adventures in foreign lands,
for she has travelled all over the world
and seen the great people of many ma
tions. Half the countries of Europe
have adopted the Coston signals, and
whenever she arrives in one of these
capitals, Mrs. Coston is treated and re-
ceived as a benefactor to humanity
Mrs. Coston was in Paris when the
French armies set out for the disas-
trOus f'ranco-Prussian war. and she
was shocked by the wild and disor-
derly appearance OF the national guards
as they swarmed down the boulevards
behind the emperor, screaming the !
'Marseillaise. She was in Berlin also, |
a little later, in time to see King Will |
liam and his army start for the seat of
war. The contrast between the pray |
erful earnestness of the one populace |
and the riotous excitement of the other
seemed to her full of significance for
the future.
Mrs. CoSton, in her travels through |
Europe, was received by the pope by
Queen Victoria, by the French En-
peror and the Empress Eugenie By the
king and queen of Sweden, and by a
host of lesser celebrities The anec-
Totes and amusing things she remem-
Dered about these august personages
would fill volume. and she has truly
American way of hitting off their little
and peculiarities
Mrs. Coston will send handsome eX-
libit of the Coston signals to Chicago
Under the direction of her son. One of
he most striking features of this ex-
libit will be the Coston aerial signals,
which are shot into the air from pis-

ances. illustrated American.

THE TREASURY DEFICIT.
Democratic Assertions Given the Lie Di
rect.

| Democratic Assertions Given the Lie Di-
rect.
The debt statement of the treasury
for June gives the lie to one of the ve-
hement democratic assertions of last
winter-that the treasury would show
a deficit by the end of the fiscal year,
which closes with June. 1t is now GER
tain that all the appropriations made
by congress for the fiscal year will be
promptly and readily paid, and that
there will be surplus, not large, but
ranging from ten to twenty millions.
The republican tariff has proved that
all obligations can be promptly met
without resorting to borrowing or fur
ther taxation.
There was a net decrease in the debt
of s739,425 for the month. 1t shows
that the aggregate of interest bearing
and non-interest-b debt on June
l amounted to s961, 1,75O, ,sSs, decrease
of S656, $40 for the month. The certifi-
Gates and treasury notes. offset by an
equal amount of cash in the treasury
amounted to $685., ,531, ,OI7, an increase
of s1,4S5,604 for the month The
total cash in the treasury amounted to
SIC, ,511, ,514. an increase of little over
81, ,OO0, 600 for the month. The gold re-
serve amounted to s95, ,O4s, $40, a de-
crease of nearly $1,000, 900 for the
month. In the last few days it has de-
clined still further. Among the changes
in the treasury holdings the principal
ones are decrease of 81, 754,.i9 in gold
coins and bars, and an increase in sill
yer, though not quite so large as the
increase in gold-nearly 5000, 900 less
