Husband-A Woman Inventor-A Wom-

Princess Christian attended a meeting
Of the Royal British Nurses association,
pverawhich Sir William Savory presided.
A resolution was put to the meeting by
the honorable secretary, DR.. Bezley
Thorne, and carried unanimously, that
The silver badge of the association be
conferred upon Miss Kate Marsden, in
recognition of her work among the
lepers in Siberia. Dr.. Bedford Fenwick,
h extolling Miss Marsden's brave con-
duct, said she had literally sold all that
she possessed to pay the expenses of her
undertaking. Most of her relatives have
died of consumption, and she had been
warned not to expose herself to cold or
damp, yet she had taken her life in her
hand and traversed 1900 miles of swamp
and forest to find the lepers. who were
living miserably without home or
friends.
The Princess of Wales had interested
the empress of Russia in Miss Marsden's
mission, but when she found herself in
the interior of the country Miss Marsden
herself had. as it were, raised the cross
and appealed to the religious enthusiasm
of the people. The response was thor
oughly satisfactory. Thirty trained
guides gave their services gratuitously
70 lead the party through the forests,
and $4,000 year was raised. As re-
suit thirteen leper colonies have now
been properly organized, with the lepers
properly housed and looked after. Miss
Marsden has now come to England to
raise more funds for the same object.
At the conclusion of DR.. Fenwick's
speech Miss Marsden was introduced to
the princess, who decorated her person
highness then read brief address in
which she referred to the bravery Of the
Misses Anresley and Henrietta Kenealy,
expressing her warm appreciation. of
their courage in devoting themselves to
the nursing of the cholera patients in
Hamburg, and adding that their exam
pie had, she knew, produced most bene-
fetal effects in Germany. Princess
Christian also said she hoped that many
English nurses would join the volunteer
roll in the event of cholera breaking out
in this country. Her royal highness,
who was accompanied by Miss Emily
Loeb. wore black silk dress with
scarlet vest. a black bonnet. trimmed
with scarlet. and n sealslrin cape.-Lon-

Miss Anthonx,s Appointment.

It is announced that Governor Flower
has appointed Miss Susan B. Anthony to
the Office of manager of the State Indus
trial school in the city of Rochester.
This act of Governor Flower is to be
highly commended. twill give pleasure
to the multitude of women and men all
over the country who know Miss An
thony or have heard her public speeches
or are acquainted with the history of her
life. 1t will be well regarded by those
who have disapproved of her advocacy
of female suffrage not less than by thoge
who have approved of it,
1t is over forty-three years since Miss
Anthony began her public career BY
calling a convention of the women of
this state for the maintenance of rights
that are now freely accorded to them:
and during all those years she has been
conspicuous as an advocate of various
reformatory and philanthropic projects,
especially of those in the interest of her
own SEX, and more especially of female
suffrage. She has presided over hum
dreds of conventions; she has delivered
thousands of speeches and lectures; she
has written profusely and energetically
in favor of her ideas. Withal, her de-
meanor and life have always been gov
erned by moral standard worthy Of
her American womanhood, and we may
suppose that this part had an especial
influence in leading Governor Flower to
make her manager Of the State Indus
trial school.
She is undoubtedly well qualified fol
the Office. AS far back as the year 1887
when she was but seventeen years oi
age, she entered upon the duty of schoo
teaching in this state. and followed il
regularly for at least five years. She hai
never lost her interest in education or in
the training Of youth, and now agai1

A Pathetic Experience.

"One of the pathetic experiences en-

the manager of a woman's exchange, lis
to have woman come with some old
fashioned fancy work. the bead en-
broidery. wax flowers perhaps, or the
worsted samples work of a bygone
day. Her need has come late in life and
she seeks to meet it with this skill of her
youth, which. like her youth is past and
forgotten. 1t is hard to show her deli
cately that there is no place among the
exquisite creations of today for these
stiff and graceless things of a long ago
yesterday. and harder still to note her

A Smart Girls Lecture.

A sixteen-year-old girl reads lecture
to the young men in Lincoln county
paper. She exclaims: "Why do the
young men of Edgecomb do so much
loafng? Go to work. Push ahead!
am but young girl. l have clothed
myself. have money in the bank and am
only sixteen years old. l lay up more
money every year of my life than any
boy or young man within radius Of
three miles Of my home. When they get
a dollar they go to dance. and go home
a dollar out. My father is able to sup
port me. but choose to support myself.
I advise all girls to cut clear of those
loafing boys Give them wide BERTH
and never marry a man unless he is able
to support you. And never put your
arm through the handle of rum Jug"
