A Newspaper Woman.

Mrs. f. ]. Nicholson, the proprietor
and editor of the New Orleans Plea
yune, is said to be the only woman in
the world who owns, edits, manages
and publishes great daily newspaper.
She was first contributor of poetry to-
the columns of the Picayune, under the
name of Pearl Rivers, and some years
ago was made literary editor of the pa
per by Col. 4. NJ Holbrook. its editor
and proprietor, thus being the pioneer
newspaper woman in the south. After
n time she became the wife of Col HOl-
brook. and at his death inherited the
paper. much incumbered by debt and
with dubious outlook. She assumed
the responsibility courageously, and,
with able assistants, has put it again
on substantial basis. A few years
ago she married George Nicholson, who
was business manager of the paper.

PIANO TUNING.
A New and Profitable Employment That Is
Open to Women.

Much has been said about the differ
ent vOcations whereby a woman can
earn a comfortable living, and, with
others, piano tuning is now enumer-
ated.
This occupation is not the easy one
that many imagine. 1t requires an ac-
curate ear, strong arm, and much
practice. A young woman who islearn-
ing to WELD the hammer, says: Il had
no idea it was so hard"
a German, professor OF music, when
she told him what she was doing, said:
"You will never learn, you will never
learn, say. 1t Is like music, it takes
a lifetime to learn it" She is disprov-
ing that, though, for she is making
rapid progress, and, although she has
been studying only two years, will, in
all probability, soon be able to fine
tune" as it is called, piano.
One should go into factory to learn
tuning. There are schools where pi-
ano tuning is taught, and there can be
no doubt that the training is excellent,
as far as it can be, still, to become a
practical piano tuner, it is essential
that one should be where the instru-
mcnts are put together, so as to be able
to acquire an accurate knowledge OF
the details.
The beginning is called chipping, y
that is, tuning the wires after the case
has BEEN strung and before it is put m
in its proper place in the piano frame.
Often that chipping" has to be done
two or three times, because the case
not being in firm position the wires
slip and fall Rough tuning follows,
and after some repetitions the finishing
or ine tuning puts the instrument in a
suitable condition for the player.
A great amount of work it seems,
and it is a fact that it requires much
practice TO become q successful piano
tuner.
The popularity of holding the ham
mer, the thumb down with the little
finger over the end of the handle, is an
intense strain on the hand and arm,
and the pins, (around which the wires
are fastencd) being placed very firmly
in position, need much strength to turn
them.
Then, again, the ear must be exceed
ingly true to detect the slightest varia-
ton in the sound; three strings form
one note, consequently they must har'
monte in tone, and the necessary adj
justment is very delicate The ear be
comes finely trained by practice, SC
much so that a tuner will notice the
wave in a note to one uneducated, even
though he may have good ear, would
seem to accord.
The remark of tuner that it would
be impossible for him to tune all day in
factory, week in and week out, as il
would certainly make him crazy, (pianC
tuners are said to turn into cranksl

FEMININE PARAGRAPHS.

| IN Kansas women have n share in
the management of the insane.
OVER p, coo women in this country
are engaged in the decoration of differ
ent kinds of china and pottery.
A DRUGGISTS certificate has been
awarded to Miss Ella e. Nash, a grad
uate of the Boston college of phar-
macy, who passed the board of eXami-
nation.
A PRIZE of one hundred guineas has
been awarded Miss Agnes May Clerke,
an Irish woman, by the Royal Insti-
tuition of London, for her works on
astronomy.
Mrs. MAY RAULETT, of Rockland,
Me-, has an extensive business in line
not often adopted by women, that of a
shipping Office, from which she fur
nishes seaman in any desired number.
Two HUNDRED and fifty clubs, with a
membership of %, 900, were represented
at the federation of clubs this year. As
this number is probably not tenth OF
the total number of women's clubs in
this country, the figures, if they could
be secured, would be astonishing.
NINE. TEL SENo, japanese lawyer.
is said to be the only feminine member
of the bar in the land of the Mikado.
She was educated in this country. In
addition to actively following the du-
ties of her profession. she takes 4 great
and practical interest in the welfare of
her sex and has founded training
school for women.
NINE American women exhibited pic

Champ de Mars, Paris. These fortunate
ones are Miss Alice Beckington, Miss

Mary Kempton Trotter, Miss Rosalie
Gill, Miss Ruth Sterling.
THE eight young women who are the
first to graduate from Barnard College,
took the same degree that they would
have done if they had graduated from
Columbia College. This is as it should
be, since the studies are the same, and
the regular degree ismore valuable and
satisfactory than mere certificate
sech as Harvard gives to the graduates
of the Annex.-Boston Woman's
Journal.
Miss ALICE HEALD. who has been
suggested as the republican nominee
for state superintendent of public in
struction in Iowa, is thirty-five years
of age, and has for several years been
county superintendent of public
schools. and was last year appointed
member of the state board of educa-
ton. The movement in favor of her
nomination has been heartily endorsed
by prominent educators throughout
the state.
JUSTIN MCCARTHY has great respect
for the independence of American
women. He was conducting one of
them through the library of the house
of commons not long since, and men
toned to her a rather singular rule
which forbade women sitting down

panion calmly but determinedly, just

shows that it is also very wearing on
the nerves.
This all sounds discouraging. but
there are drawbacks to everything, and
piano tuning is not ''the exception to
prove the rule" and for any one having
the three requisites mentioned. q good
ear. plenty of physical strength, and q
willingness to practice laboriousiy,
there is no reason why it should not lie
conquered as other difficult occupations
have been.
A member of the firm in whose fac
tory the woman referred to is learning
pronounces her progress excellent con-
sidering the short time she has been at
it, and does not hesitate to predict her
complete success after little longer
novitiate.-N. Y. Times.

WOMEN AND THE WHEEL.
She Can Give the Men Pointers on How to
Ride Gracefully.

Ride Gracefully.
1t is curious fact that the young
men of this country will from all indi-
cations be compelled to go to their Sis
tiers and girl friends for lessons on the
proper use of the wheel. Young men
as a class are overriding the matter,
making themselves ridiculous and
bringing into discredit one of the most
admirable means of exercise within the
reach of people with small incomes.
While the wheel just now represents
very cOnsidera bic investment in ready
cash, the time is not far distant when
the prices will have to break: the de-
mand is too widespread. and there is
too much opportunity for Tiralry to
keep up the present rates. When this
break comes the wheel will be as nee
essary a portion of the household
equipment as the sewing-machine. 1t
shOrtens the distance. solves the prob
lem of rapid-transit in small places.
gives needed exercise to the youngsters
and indeed has thousand advantages
that are not by any means to be over
look. But to get the greatest good from
IillS klnu OF amusement II IuuSJ NOT %
carried to excess, as the boys are ROW
doing. 1t is universally admitted that
girls are by far the most graceful riders
and make the best appearance on their
wheels, while boys sprawl and lean
over, acting as though they were work
ing for dear life. This is fatal to any
thing like graceful riding, and what is
far more important, it throws the body
of symmetry, bends the spine into bow
shaped, congresses the internal organs
and prevents the full expansion of the
lungs.
Girls should dress in garments that
do not in the least construct any por-
ton of the body. They need little
council as to position, for the most of
them sit their wheels beautifully, and
move as though moving were but little
exertion. There are a great many
things that men would do well to go to
their aunts, cousins and sisters and
take lessons in, and the proper use Of
the wheel is not the least of these.-N.
Y. Ledger.

of the grounds, so little visited by
many of the people who go to the fair,
contains some of the most interesting
features of the exposition. There are
the cliff dwellings, the Yucatan ruins,
the Forestry building, Dairy building,
Leather building and the Live Stock de-
partment People are frequently heard
to remark: ''Oh, l don't care about 60
ing away over there. There isn't any
thing worth seeing over there" etc;
but those who do take the trouble to
walk few blocks further are well re-
paid for the extra exertion by the rare
sights which greet their eyes in that
direction.
The Forestry building contains some
of the most beautiful specimens of pol
ished and rough woods ever displayed
in the world. The building itself is a
study in rustic architecture and well
worth inspection.

NATURES WONDERS.
The Marvellous Display OF Trees

Isnecial Chicago Correspondence

In the Forestry building at the Column
bian exposition are to be found some of
the most marvellous and interesting ex-
hibits of all the great fair. This will
apply more particularly to the farming
people, who quite naturally know more
about forestry and kindred pursuits
than do the people of the larger cities,
but for all, whether from city CT coun-
try there is world of interest in the
queer work of nature as exemplIfed
in the forests of the world.

grand central buildings of the fair, in

the southern portion of the grounds on
the lake front, the beautiful repository
for forest productions is to many I'M
known. The general feeling after n
ramble through the central buildings is
that the principal portion of the fair
has been gone over, and after a cursory
glance at the distant buildings on the
outskirts the majority of visitors re-
solve to take them in" at some future
time and betake themselves home. The
same thing is apt to occur at their next
visit, and there is where they make a
great mistake The southern portion

United States from the American Muse
UNI of Natural History at New York.
The state of this name adopted novel
method for displaying its woods A
thin section of the wood of each tree is
mounted in frame with photograph
and leaves of the tree itself. These
specimens are arranged so they can be
looked through toward the lighted side
of the exhibit.
The central exhibit in the building
is grand pyramid built of specimens
of wood from all the world. 1t is a
congress OF blocks, something decided
ly more novel than a congress of block
heads. California's contribution, a cut
ting fourteen feet in diameter, red
wood four hundred and seventy-fve
years old when Columbus landed IN
der the scant shade of palm trees at
San Salvador, forms the base of the
pyramid. Around and on it are
grouped Ching Chang from Siam, BAN.

Spiders Bite.

Naturalists usually pooh-pooh the
stories of poisoning from the spiders
bite. 1t is well established that most
spiders are harmless, and one natural
list says that almost every story of
poisoning by spiders bite has upon
thorough investigation proved ground
less. A naturalist of this city kept and
handled freely for a year tarantula,
and received no injury, though the
creature always resented the intro.
duction into his box of any prodding
instrument other than the naturalist's
finger, and when glass rod was thus
used always struck at it hard with his
fangs.-N. Y. Sun.
