BAGGAGE SMASHING.

when Trunks Are Damaged Rail-.
ways Are Ready to Pay the Bill.
It is not generally known that tho
transfer companies In New York, Chi
cago and other cities expect to pay
for the baggage they smash, and this
seems to be a seasonable time to bring
that fact to the attention Of the pub
Lie. Every railway baggage master IL
required to give the transfer company
. receipt for all the baggage, he re-
ceives, and will not accept a package
unless 1t is in good order. The same
rule is applied when the transfer CON-
pany receives baggage from the rail-
roads, SO that If a trunk Is delivered at
It's destination in a damaged condition
the blame cal be traced and laid where
it belongs.
MI. s. w. F. Draper, general manager
Of the New York Transfer company,
tells me that they have to pay several
thousand dollars every year for dam
aged baggage, and often are required to
give indemnity even for the loss Of a
strap. In order to c themselves
they carry All accident insurance policy
of $4,000, and this not only covers
damages to baggage, but accidents to
their wagons. or drivers, or horses.
II n of their wagons happens to run
over a child, or take the wheel off a
buggy, the accident insurance company
pays the bill. Last year the total dam
age collected under the: insurance pol
icy was about S $780,. This year, If
their good luck continues, it will be less.

seven Years without : Birthd.y.

A Scottish clergyman who died thirty
years ago, Mr.. Leisllman OF Kinross,
used to tell that he once lived seven
years without a birthday. The state
Inent puzzled most who heard Ii. They
could see that if he had been born on
the Goth day Of Febreuary he would
have no birthday except In leap year.
But leap year comes once In four years,
and this accounts for q gap OF three
years only. Their first thought woE..d.
therefore, naturally BE- that the old
man, who, In fact was fond Of 4 harm
less jest, was somehow Testing about
the seven. There was, however, no
Joke OF. trick In his assertion.
AT the present time th4rc q DO

this tale to tell Of Themselves. for one
who can tell II must have been born
On the 10th day OF February at least
ninety-eight years ago. But . similar

story CT . Bad Find Made OF m II.
land on the virslnia Coast.
The traditions Of treasures buried BY
the pirates Kidd, LATTE and Black
beard gave a. romantic interest to the
Atlantic coast from Massachusetts, 70
Georgia, says the Cincinnati COmlner-
c;~altinzette. Thousands Of lei have
searched for these buried chests OF gold
but there Is authentic record OF only
two finds" one in the New England
coast, the other in Virginia. The latter
case is said to have furnished Foe with
the foundation of his story Of the Gold
Bug" The facts are briefly these:
In the Atlantic ocean, lying OF the
Virginia coast, there are two or TIRES
was the resort III Blackboard, and was
called by his name-Teach. \ neigh
boring island belonged a century ago
to a wealthy woman on the main land.
It was a wilderness which never had
been Inhabited but by foxes, wild
ducks and other game. A frosty old
slave, Ben. was placed by her In q cab
in on the beach to bring her occasional
game and ti.h. One day, while walking
on the shore, Ben saw a yellow gleam
in the sand. It came from q gold coin.
He searched breathlessly along the
beach and found a rusty iron box,
one end of which had faller out. With
in was a heap of coins, with crosses and
silver crucifixcs. The old man went
to his cabin and brought an empty
salt bag, which he filed with b
coins. He then dragged a heap o.
brush v the chest to conceal 1t, set
up a broken sapling to mark the place,
and started for the main land to give
the treasure to his mistress.
Tradition says that Mrs. Hetty waS
a hard, suspicious woman, and that
when the trusty old negro gave her
the mass Of coin her Joy was eQualed
by her terror that he would rob hen OF
her great treasure which he had LETT
behind. A heavy storm ragged for hve
days. It was impossible for her to
make the voyage to the island in m
open boat, and she would not trust Ben,
nor even her brother or son, to 60
with her. At the end of a week the sea
was calm enough for her to cross, but
the sapling, the brush and the chest
had disappeared. An unbrcken stretch
Of sand covered the whole coast. Ben
could not find the spot thea nor ever
after. His mistress, Il Is said, kept him
at the search as long as he lived, aid
ing him herself, but in vain. Some OF
the gunners who have visited the ISL
and have also searched for Mrs. Het-
tvs chest, but it never has been found.
Nothing is certlin, but the fact that the
bag of coins was brought to her and
that the touch Of the gold and her sus-
picicns and greed made her life wretch
ed to the end. The poor fishermen
Of the coast understand the moral
of her story. When any of their num-
Der grows avaricious they say that he
has rubbed his hands against Mrs.
Hetty's iron chest"

Triumphed Over All Opposition.
The women Of Ontario are indebted
to d.. Emily Stowe and Miss Clara
Brett Martin, both Toronto women,
for their successful efforts in tearing
down the stone wall Of prejudice which
existed in the matter of university CO.
education, and barred their way to the
medical and legal professors. DR..
Stoves fight was long and bitter, but
she finally won her aus None less
stubEornly cont .sted was Miss Clara
Brett Martins application to the Law
Society Of Upper Canada for admission
an a student at law, says he Buffalo
Express. Miss Martin is a Toronto
young woman, matriculating H. Toronto
university in 1886. She graduated in
1890, taking high honors in mathematics
and Immediately after petitioned the
benches to b. entered as a student OF
the laws" The law society almost con-
t~emptuously denied her request. She
then petitioned the legislature on the
subject and a bill wis introduced pro-
viding for the admission of women
to the study and practice Of law. It
was passed by q majority of after
a heated discussion, but was amended
so as to admit women to practice as
solicitors only. Miss Martin then petit
toned the benchers, but met with re-
peated defeats until Sir Oliver Mowat's
presence and vote at one Of the meet
ings of the law society gave her cause
a majority of one, and on May Is, 1893,
the plucky young woman was articled
in a we'll known law firm. She is the
only woman in Canada who is qualify
ing for the practice Of the law, and her
chances of success. as the pioneer wo-
man solicitor, will be regarded with
interest. The results Of the first year
law examinations at Toronto university
were posted at Osgood hall on Sat'lr-
day, June 8. Miss Martins name ap-
peared in the list of successful candi-
dates, and she is, therefore, fully
launched on her legal career.

The new activity Of woman has been
felt in literature. in education, in chart
ty, and in a myriad Of organizations
for self-cultivation, the promotion Of
social life. and the agitation of social
reforms. In all these directions there
has been q great increase in the in
terest and the efforts Of women. A
very large portion Of the improvement
apparent in our charities in the last
twenty years is due to the work Of
women, and society has greatly bene-
flied by the iabors Of women. whose
industry and enthusiasm would have
been confined to the church and the
home.
The home has not lost by this.
Whether the church has or not is moro
doubtful. The charities Of churches
were never more active, more vigor-
our. or on the whole better managed
than now. We doubt, however. whettl-
er prayer meetings arc az well attend
ed. The educated woman, active in
philanthropy and at the head of reform
clubs, who does not 60 to church at
oil. is coming to be noticeable, and
While at present, women still feel
bound to 60 to church, it would Ger
tainly not be long before the attend
ance of women at church comes to be
like that Of men-a duty discharged
only by men who feel q personal in
terest In the service and worship,
though it is not long since it was con-
sidered scarcely respectable for a
woman not to 20 to church regularly.
The Sunday school is also beginning
to suffer from Jack Of teachers, now
that the woman who had once taught
as a matter of course are Interested In
the new activities Of women.
All this is by no means true in all
churches, or in most, but no n car
enjoy a wide observation and acQuain-
lance among the women Of the type
prominent at a gathering like that of
last week without feeling that with
such women the church and it's relig-
ious affairs are less conspicuous in
their minds and heart, though it's
charities may be more SO than with
their sisters Of a generation ago. 1t
has been for some time noticeable in
American life that What is known as
society" takes no particular interest
in politics and public affairs and fur
nishes few politicians or public men.
The new activity of women presents
a similar phenomenon. The "Acron''
a woman's club which includes a large
share of Society" had no delegates
at a recent convention, and it's men,
