have a chance to display their higher
mental powers and to force the lords of
creation to acknowledge their mental

A Remarkable woman.

The grave of Mary Benjamin in Mt.
Pleasant cemetery has just been fur
nished with a monument by a citizen
here. She was notable woman, hav-
ing died at the remarkable age of ia
years. She was born in Goshen. n. Y,
Nov II, I744, and died i'm 1853 Her name
was Matthews. She was married three
times. Her first husband William
Read. was soldier OF the revolution
and died of wound received in battle.
Her second husband was Aaron Os-
borne. a resident of Goshen, n. Y, and
he was also a soldier of the same war
and in his army service was accompa-
MED a greater part of the time by his
wife. Gen. Washington once said to the
woman, who was standing on guard
Woman. who posted you here?' She
answered: Those who had a right to,
sir She was at the siege of Yorktown,
passing to and fro like an angel of
mercy.
Washington said to her here: Young
woman, are you not afraid of the bull
lets?'
She replied: 1.-The bullets will never
cheat the gallows."
Immediately after this war her second
husband died and she next became the
wife Of John Benjamin, a resident of
Wayne county, Pennsylvania. He died
in 1926. She was the mother of five chit
dren, all of whom are dead.-Honesdale

In her early womanhood she removed

best social and higher whist circles in
the Quaker city. She removed to Chi
cago, where she founded a whist school.
Here she is visited by whist students

to have received instructions from Mrs.

A simple Potometer.

A potometer of the utmost simplicity
has been devised by DIR. Simonoff for de-
termining how we'll lighted a room may
be and for incidentally serving as a
test Of vision. The twenty-four pages
of a book are colored in graduated tints
the first being a clear gray and the last
nearly black. On every page a few
phrases are printed in black letters of
different size. The amount of light is
estimated by perusing the contents of
each page Of the book until a selected
line of letters can no longer be read at
a distance of about a foot from the eyes.
In a well-lighted apartment the charac-
tiers should be clearly made out to the
twentieth or even the twenty-fourth
page, but with poorer light the difficulty
of deciphering the print may commence
at the tenth, twelfth or even fifteenth
page. In order that this test may be
even more reliable, the power of vision
OF the person making it should first be
compared with that of a second person,
and for that purpose the book itself fur
nishes all the essentials.-St. Louis

ExtravaEant Girls.

Young girls are prone to buy fancy
stick-pins, hair ornaments. candy and
soda water and to have their blooming
young faces reproduced by the camera,
and these small vanities run away with
more money than the girl finds it easy
TO realize unless she keeps an account
and balances it regularly. Every girl
ought TO have a fixed allowance and
be required to confine her expenditure
strictly within its limits, for in no better
way can she be taught the necessary

some New Features.

Among new features of evening gowns
noted by Harper's Bazaar is the revival
of smaller sleeves and less fiaring epau-
lettes. Some of the prettiest sleeves
have a circular ruffie of the material
sewed in the armhole without gathers
and falling full on a small pulled sleeve
OF net or chiffon.
A great many draped waists are worn,
a single breadth of the rich fabric of
the dress being carried around the waist
like wrinkled bodice and reaching up
TO the armholes, the space above filled
In with lace or mousseline de sole.
Both square and round necks are
trimmed with a narrow band OF fur,
folds of satin. a ruche or galloon, and
with shaped revers or epaulettes rather
than the full gathered bertha OF lace or
of accordion plated chiffon.
While round waists are still preferred
by slender women. there are sharply
pointed waists for those who are larger.
