How CrinDlinp Is Used.

Talking with a celebrity on feminine
costume day or two ago lightly touched
the mooted point-crinoline- asked
the mastery opinion on the subject.
"Crinoline," replied the young man, "as
we employ it, is not likely to detract
from feminine grace or loneliness. On
the contrary, all I desire is to give con-
sistent appearance to the materials en-
ployed, and for that purpose some con-
venient and as light as possible material
has had to be adopted. Alpaca woven
with horsehsir is about the least weighty
lining going and accordingly is more in
demand than any other. It is also prob
able that later on strips of aluminium
will be used origidly maintain the hens
of skirts in funnel shape. Stiff muslin
sewn with narrow lines of straw is forth
coming from several manufacturers, but
it is exceedingly heavy and inconvenient,
and in consequence have not given it
house room."-London Telegraph.

Women of Their Period.

In the great momentum of the women
movement, which gains new victims
every day, one is inclined to overlook
the fact that woman was power moral
ly, socially and Intellectually in the fif-
teenth century as well as the nineteenth,
that the doors Of the universities were
open to her not only to study but to
teach within their sacred precincts. In
the University of Salamanca she had a
place, and when Isabella of Spain de-
sired to acquire the Latin tongue it was
to woman that she turned for tutor.
In Italy. even in the thirteenth century,
a noble Florentine lady won the palm Of
oratory in a public contest in Florence
with learned doctors from all over the
world. New York Sun.

A Bargain Driven by Emerson.

We were speaking of Emerson, and
had shown my idolatry of that sweet
Athenian Yankee, when my friend said:
''There is no question that Ralph Waldo
Emerson was a grand old American
Socrate. or Plato if you will. but much
of the ssaych of my veneration for him
was taken out by the way he once con-
tended with the newsdealer at the Cause-
way street end of the Fitchburg depot
for the reduction of the price of a Boston
evening daily paper because it was of the
issue of day or two previous. 1t re-
minded me of the huckstering l wit
messed in bakeshop some time before,
where a woman insisted on having a
scent loaf for 3 cents because it was two
days old, and finally after wordy con-
tention with the worthy white capped
baker, compromised by paying cents
for the bread.
ralph, the venerable, had the cour-
age of his mercenary convictions and in
sisted for a time on having cent reduc-
ton ON the price of the paper. The
newsdealer, too, had the courage of his
trade and did not seem to care baubee
for the author of the Over Soul al
though found afterward that he knew
the intellectually august gentleman with
whom he was dealing. Knowing the
person of the Concord philosopher, was
amused enough to wait over another
train, had not the purchaser and vender
compromised, and the dear good man
bought the wished for old paper with
another of that evenings issue. "-Bos-

Street Railway Crossings.

Grade crossings on street railways are
as dangerous as on trunk lines and
should be just as carefully protected. IF
a railroad company should cross the
tracks of another, leaving the chances OF
collision to be avoided solely by the
watchfulness of the engineer, there would
be great hue and cry. Yet similar
carelessness is passed over in the case of
street railways, though the danger is
even greater on account of the increas. /
frequency with which the tracks are
used.-Kate Fields Washington.
