Frances Z. Willard contributes to Lady
Henry Somersets paper, the London
Woman's Herald an appreciative sketch
of Mrs. Lucy Stone. Miss Willard says:
From my earliest recollection I have
known Of her character and work, for
she was q student in Oberlin cole sc
when my parents were there. and I used
to hear my mother speak Of the indie
pendence Of character of Lucy Stone.
which led her TO decline on graduation
day the honors she had earned because
the essay she had written was to be
read by the professor Of English litera-
ture instead of by its author"
Miss Willard gives an outline Of Mrs.
Stones life and says "As a pioneer in
the most unpopular Of all reforms Mrs.
Stone has perhaps suffered more than al
most any of her associates. When the
woman movement has moved on to vic
tory and no artificial limitations hedge
her from helping humanity to the limit
Of her power the name Of Lucy Stone
will stand beside that of John Hampden
in the history Of the Anglo-SaXon race"

full to Prof. William Z. Jones, my ear

in Evanston, who asked all of us girls
TO form this habit. Indeed he made it
a rule for his rhetoric class, and would
give us scraps that he had cut from
the newspapers Of the day and say,
Learn that; it will be a gem laid up in
the casket Of your mind.
This became so much a habit that

Flowers in The Hou-c.

A tiny garden can be made by cut

the top Of a bowl or a wide mouthed
jar, which is filed with water just high
enough for the bottom Of the wadding
TO touch it. Two or three small bits of
charcoal will keep the water pure, and
when all is arranged the top of the
wadding is sprinkled with seeds OF
mignonette, sweeJ pea or any other cas-
lily grown plant The roots pierce down
through the wadding and are nourished
by the water, while leaves and blossoms
in a reasonable time conceal the TOP.

named distance the heart impulse was
152 beats 10 the minute, the average
natural waist girth being twenty-five
inches The next day corsets were worn
during the exercise and the average
girth OF waist was reduced TO twenty
four inches. The same distance was run
in the same time by all and Immediately
afterward the average heart impulse was
found to be l6S beats per minute.
Sargenr says that ne never feels
justified in advising an athlete whose
heart impulse is 100 beats per minute az

Laugh.

There is absolutely nothing that will
help you bear the ills of life so well as a
good laugh. Laugh all you can. If the
clothesline breaks, if the cat tips over
the milk and the dog elopes with the
roast. if the children fall into the mud
simultaneously with the advent of clean
aprons, if the new girl quits in the mid
die of housekeeping. and though you
search the earth with candles you find
none other to take her place: if the
neighbor in whom you have trusted goes
back on you and keeps chickens. if the
chariot wheels of the unlimited guest
draw near when you are out of proven
der and the gaping of an empty purse IS
like the untitled mouth Of young robin,
take courage If you have enough sun
shine in your heart tn keep d laugh on
your Hps.-Chicago Post
