Australian women's College.

Sydney university, New South Wales,
has shown its progressive spirit by maxi
ing exactly the same provision for wo-
mon as students as it has made for men.
In no other part Of the British empire
have government and university shown
to women such conspicuous generosity
and Justice in the matter of higher edu-
cation. In 1881 women were admitted
fgeely to all courses in the university.
In 1884, by the extension act, it was
decided that all benefits and advantages
of the university should extend to wom-
en- equally with men, and three years
later, to give full effect to this decision,
it was determined to build woman s
residential college on an exactly SINH
lar foundation to that of the three col
leges for men.
Two years ago Miss Louisa Macdon-
alds MA, London, fellow of Universi-
ty college, was appointed principal, and
the college was temporarily placed at
Globe Point, near suburb of Sydney.
Five thousand pounds were granted by
the government, 45, 900 were subscrib-
ed, and since then, through all the
financial difficulties of the colony, the
work has steadily. gone on.
Tho new residential college is ex-
trenely handsome externally. Inside
the arrangements for the health and
comfort of tho students and for mini
mizing necessary service are really ad-
mirable. Everything has been planned
as much with view to the needs of a
hot climate as for the education Of
yeung women in appreciation OF really
gool ana arGiatic surroundings.

Divided Skirts.

Divided skirts, unless they. are SO
short as to be almost grotesque, are
much more inconvenient than the ordi-
nary costume. OF course holding up the
skirt has its unpleasant features, but it
is scarcely more difficult TO hold up tho
petticoat than to pull the divided up SO
that 1t shall! not get wet or muddy, and
once this gets drabbled the last state Of
the wearer is infinitely worse than the
first She can sit down and tuck her
feet little bit under her and get away
from immediate contact with her damp
skirts, but with the divided skirt cling
ing around her ankles her condition is
hopeless in the extreme. Furthermore,
there are women, plenty of them, who
can walk through the muddiest streets
for hours and come home without a
scrap or stain of the earth earthly on
their garments unless perchance they
get spattered from some street car or the
feet of some passing horse. Women who
can get about in this way consider
themselves highly accomplished Those
who cannot are loud In their expressions
Of amazement as to how it ia done, but
it is simply matter of care and prao-

to wear a comfortably short petticoat.

Desert Prospects.

Redlands Citregraph: A representa-
tive OF tho Citrograph called On DR..
Mack this week at his beautiful home
and had talk over the mining prospects,
OF the desert. The doctor has recently
returned from tho Pansmint mountain
section, where he visited not only his
own mines, but the Redlsn5s mines,
and located series of rich new claims,
IN company with his old time partner,
Mr.. Kimball, and E. B. Waite, who
accompanied him on the trip.
These last locations aye on the
east side OF the Panamint valley, ncrth
OF Golef canon, and being but 500 feet
above the bSse Of the mountain can
readily be made accessible. Water sui
hcisat for mining purposes can be piped
from tioler caii3n. The ledge is clearly

made range from about $50 to
$ll00 per ton, in hoaeycomb and
peacock quartz. This ia in an en-
trely new section, and is but six
or eight miles from the Redlsnds
mines, where it is expected to have
the ore concentrated. Besides these
new locations, visit WAS made to the
Anvil springs mines. near the Page mill.
10 or II miles from the Redlands mine,
and also to the Qaervo mine, whore the
gentlemen have a ledge 10 or II feet
wide. 1t is located on the north side OF
the Goler Gallon, one mile from Pages
mill. In these three series of claims
there are % locations, and the gentle
men are about to take letters of incor-
poration, thinking to dispose of small
interest to raise money TO open the mine.
Doctor Mack says that heretofore the
mines in the Panamint section having
been 100 miles from railroad and hav-
ing no mile available to reduce the ore,
could not be worked profitably, aud
most OF the mine owners were too poor
TO purchase and build the necessary
mills for working the ore. But now,
with the erection OF the mill at the Red
lands mine, facilities are presented, and
the immense deposits OF ore in the dis
trict can be worked with big profit. He

Her family met with reverses-it is
the usual story. What could she do to
earn an honest penny?
II cannot teach, l cannot paint. I

was the question she put to friend
whose sympathy she did not doubt, al
though she did her ability to give her
any practical reply.
After a moment or two of hard think
ing the friend said:
There is one thing at least that You
can do and do well-you can tell ghost
stories. "
Acting upon this suggestion, she soon
after joined the ranks Of young women
who support themselves and became q
ghost story teller, and great success
she has made of the profession, if such
it can be called.

house party at an English country
place last winter speaks enthusiastically
Of the success of the undertaking and

who was bright, pretty and well dress
ed. She was treated as guest and sup

irent feature of the whole and to dis-
tract attention from the fact that the rest
of the garment is quite conventional.
Several stylish methods of using these
bows are shown in tho accompanying
pictures. Az to the location OF them
there is no rule, so put them wherever
fancy dictates. Their ends may not
show at all, or may drop loosely to the
skirts hem and be left to wave about
breezly. The newest fancy in regard to
fheee long ends is to drape them in ecme
novel way. and very jaunty effects are
thus obtained. The moes prominent
feature OF the trimming on the simple
street gown OF the initial sketch consists
OF straps of velvet which finish in bow
in front. The material of this
gown is dark green auiting and
it is msda with gored skirt
lined with silk and finished with o
frill OF the same inside. The outer
hem is simply banded with bias fold
OF emerald green velvet. The blouse
waist is worn inside the skirt and has
boned silk lining which hooks in the
center. The bodice fastens at the side,
and the back is bias with the fullness
gathered in the waist. Its garniture
consists OF pointed plastron and stand
ing collar of dark and light green passe-
menterie, beaides the mentioned straps
and bow. plain band of wide velvet
hooking at the side gives the belt snd
the sleeves have psssementere trim

it's velvet garniture ia not of the sort
which makes the dress esem uncomfort

The Care of Children.

During the warm months of the wear
children should spend nearly the whole

prejudice against children being allow

ing in it in warm weather if their faces
are properly protected from the sun.
Youngsters should never be allowed
to run in tho sun unless provided with
white linen sunbonnets to protect the
back of the head, and these should have
several thiclznesses Of linen, as the ordi-
nary thin muslin bonnets or hats are
not sufficient protection. A thickness Of
flannel under the hat is ofton very use-
full. Children should never be permitted
first to run about until they are in a
profuse perspiration and then sit down
and allow the moisture to cool upon
them, as they are thus rendered very
liable to take cold, the temperature of
the bodies being lowered by the rapid
evaporation from the skin. If they are
found to be perspiring profusely or
their clothes are wet, they should be
taken indoors, undressed, rubbed down
with towel and then dressed in dry
clothes.
In hot weather between the hours of
II and 10 a. M. and 4 p. m. it is, as a
rule, unwise to let children play un-
sheltered, unless it should happen to be
a cloudy or breezy day. The effect of
great heat is to exhaust the forces and
disturb the digestion, but it is a good
plan, if possible, to have a tent out of
doors where the children can rest DUR
ing the heat of the day and take their
meals in summer.
