Women In Trousers.

In Canada perhaps 10000 women wear
trousers during the winter-of course
with the skirt. In this country the pop
ularity of the masculine garment is
growing with remarkable rapidity. The
trousers are now and have been for years
in use for horseback riding. The fencing
costumes, also trousers, are worn with
out the skirt, and in the gymnasiums of
the fashionable boarding schools for la
dies trousers are worn exclusively and
with excellent effect and comfort In
Europe for the past two years Turkish
trousers have been worn by fashionable
women for climbing the mountains. The
same are worn in the Scotch highlands
by English women. The bathing dress
shows marked signs of following the
general movement. AT the French resorts
the most fashionable ladies appear with
the close fitting bathing suits, with knee
trousers, leaving the skirt off entirely.

New Style in Hatpins.

The hatpin which prods dozens of holes
into felt and straw has seen its day. The
inventor has turned his attention to the
matter, and the result is fixture which
guides the direction of the pin and at the
same time fastens it so securely that no
sudden breeze can dislocate it. The pins
are made with a small, almost imper-
ceptible groove near the base, over which
little plate of silver or steel fastens.
This sheath is fastened on after the pin
is stuck through one side of the hat, and
thus acts as sort of lock. The pin can
not come out until the plate is removed,
and if the pin is stuck through at the
proper angle in the first place there is no
necessity for its frequent removal. In
this way the ruin of the hat by pin pricks
is prevented. Gold, silver and ordinary
wire pins are now made with this inn
provement.-C Chicago Tribune.

The First Woman Lawyer.

1t is noted by the Ohio State Journal
that Mrs. Myra Bradwell's predecessor
in admission to the bar in this country
was Miss Arabella A. Mansfield of
Mount Pleasant, Ia, in 1869. AS for the
first woman lawyer, she was so very far
back that she could not lessen the pio-
neer glories of Mrs. Bradwell and Miss
Mansfield. According to The State Jour
nal, the first woman lawyer in history
was Deborah, wife of Lapidoth, a judge
in Israel. In both Greece and Rome
women pleaded in the forum. In 1888
Margaret Brent, an English woman
came to Maryland and succeeded to the
business of Lord Baltimore. But in our
time has arisen no woman to win under
such unfavorable circumstances the lau-
rels that fell upon the brow of Myra
Bradwell.

Dressing the ShOpkeeper.

A gentleman dressed in loose coat on
tered a ladies QUILTING establishment at
time when the proprietor was alone in
the shop. The gentleman asked to be
shown some ready made ladies' cloaks, as
he wished to give his wife little surprise
After a careful inspection he fixed upon
one and asked the shopkeeper;
"Have you not a young lady at hand to
put on the cloak to see how it looksY"
The proprietor regretted that none Of the
ladies of the esta blishment was in at that
moment.
"Well perhaps you wouldn't object to
putting it on YOURSELF"
The unsuspecting shopkeeper slipped on
the cloak, buttoned it and turned round
in all directions
"Magnificentl' exclaimed the purchaser,
with seeming ecstasy, but at the same
moment he made grab at the till, which
he thrust under his coat and bolted out of
the shop.
The Mortified proprietor rushed after
him into the street, where, however, he
was seized by the passersby, who dragged
him back to the shop in the supposition
that the poor fellow had gone mad, and
before he could explain matters the rogue
had disappeared It'd. Bits.

Overskirts.

Overskirts have come, and have come
to stay. Some will fight against them.
Some dressmakers will work with might
and main to modify and disguise them,
but they are here in all their hideous-
ness, and until revolution comes they
will simply continue to grow in size and
in what some of the poorer seamstresses
call "the drape." Wash goods are to be
made up with ruffles and trimmings ga
lore, and many of the new ginghams are
woven expressly for the purpose of
trimmed overskirts. In one respect these
goods are very nice. They come made
in such a way that woman who is not
an experienced dressmaker can easily
finish them, and as it is well known that
the skilled dressmaker charges as much

One of Tyndall's Heroic Experiments.

In 1864 Tyndall performed the expert
ment of separating light from heat. In the
course of the Investigations which enabled
him to do this he made one of the most
daring experiments that ever scientific
man ventured on.
Knowing layer of iodine placed before
the eye intercepted the light, he determin-
ed to place his own eye in the focus of
strong invisible rays. He knew that if in
doing so the dark rays We're absorbed in a
high degree by the humors of the eye the
albumen of the humors might coagulate
and, on the other hand, if there was no
high absorption the rays might strike upon
the retina with Il force sufficient to de
stroy it. When he first brought his eye
undefended near the dark focus, the heat
on the parts surrounding the pupil was
too intense to be endured He therefore
made an aperture in the plate of the met
al, and placing his eye behind this aper-
ture he gradually approached the point of
conveyance of the invisible rays. First
the pupil and next the retna were placed
In the focus without any sensible damage.
Immediately afterward a sheet of platinum
foil placed in the position which the retina
had occupied became redhot- Western Mail

Physical Culture for Women.

The board of trustees of the University
of Illinois at its March meeting took an
important step in relation to physical
culture for women at the university.
Hereafter this work will stand on prac-
tically the same basis for women as the
military drill does for men. Women
may take course in physical culture
and receive therefor two credits in their
college course. Those not taking this
course will be required to take other uni
versity work to make up the two credits
Heretofore women have graduated on
SO credits, while the required number for
men was 40, the additional two being OBJ
tanned in drill. The board thinks that
this new departure will be well received
by the women students The age at which
students are eligible to admission was
changed from fifteen to sixteen years.

The Jaguar.

The lordly jaguar is the king of all the
American Felide, and right proud are we
to have him for fellow countryman-
provided he does not make himself too nu-
merous. OF all the great cats now liv-
ing he is second in size only to the lion
and the Bengal tiger. South of the Unit
ed States he is universally called ell Tigre
(tee- gree which is simply the Spanish for
tiger He has the big chest and loins,
thick neck, big arms and legs and bullet
head of heavyweight prizefighter,
clothed in the most gorgeous skin ever
given to any animal of the cat family.
He is the most stocky in build of all the
cats, being very different in shape from
the more 1.-THE and fiat bodied lion, tiger
and puma
But it is his glorious colors that first
attract the beholder's attention and hold
it longest. On a ground color of rich
back and shoulders and grows paler as it
descends to the legs, are arranged, with
regular irregularity large rosettes of black
and brown. These rosettes are the promi-
nent distinguishing character of the jag
uar by which any child can recognize
him instantly wherever found. The head,
top of the back, base of the tail, lower
joints of the legs and the feet are plenti-
fully besprinkled with round black spots,
not rosettes. Ordinarily the eyes are light
yellow, to match the body color, but when
the animal becomes enraged they turn the
color of green fire, and then it is high time
to get out of the way.

in black and gold-W. T. Hornaday, in 81

A Stepping Stone to Higher Rank.

Dublin castle has been the official resi-
dence of the chief governor of Ireland
since the beginning of Queen Elizabeth s
reign-that is, for more than 800 years.
Nearly so different viceroys have ruled
within its walls during that time, and not
many with conspicuous success, except so
far as advancing their own personal inter
ests went, the Irish viceregal throne being
generally stepping stone to higher rank
for it's occupant In late times Lord Wode-
house was created an earl, Lord Abercorn
a duke and Lord Zetland a marquis. Lord
Spencer refused marquisate and Lord
Londonderry accepted the garter, though
he might possibly have preferred duke

Odd Currency.

A joint stock company, known as the
African Barter company, limited now
existing in London, carries on great
business on the west coast of Africa en-
tirely by bartering European manufac-
lures for palm oil, gold dust, ivory, coffee,
gum and other raw products. Eggs have
been in circulation in lieu of money in
the Alpine villages of Switzerland. Nails
have been similarly employed in Scotland,
dried Goldfish in Newfoundland, whales
teeth in the Fiji islands, mats of rice
straw in Angola, salt in Abyssinia, bees
wax in Sumatra, red feathers in the isles
Of the Pacific, tea in Tartary and iron hoes
in Madagascar century ago tobacco
was made legal tender in Virginia. When
women were imported into that colony for
wives for the settlers 100 pounds of to-
bacco per head was charged for them, the
price being subsequently raised to $50
pounds Washington Star.

Electrical OdOrs.

An enterprising perfumer OF Paris has
lately, it is stated, been the center of in
terest among his associates and those with
whom he deals. His sales of the several
odors manufactured by him have some
what increased, the quality of his perfume
has become better and the subtle odor of
his wares is fast bringing him to the front
rank in his line. The strange part of his
business is that he is now buying no es-
sential oils in the quantities he had before
been accustomed to.
This of course attracted the attention
of his confreres, and he kept their eXpec-
tation on the qui vive by purchasing an
electric light plant for his laboratory. An
individual who, it is claimed Is compe-
tent to judge, declares that the process
now used by the manufacturer is, in part,
an electrical one, and he further states
that merely one or two essential oils are
used, the changes in odors being effected
by the oZoniZing influence of the current.
If this be true, vast field is opened to the
perfumer, who now needs but lay in a
stock of alcohol and little bergamot to
turn out perfumes as delicate as the rose,
and as evanescent as the lily of the valley.
He needs but be supplied with an ozone
regulator and an attractive assortment of
labels to make him the equal of Guer-
lain or Lubin The aging of whisky by
electricity is gradually becoming prac-
tical process, and distillers are beginning
not to recommend it, They prefer to keep
room locked where they allow Father
Time to exert his good influence, while
they wisely shake their heads and advise
against the use of electricity.

trically favored ice creams, and our sir
ups will be rated according to their diff
ferently prepared voltages. What next

One VI England's Superstitions.

Among the many quaint superstitions
which have survived in rural England are
some interesting traditions about the
building Of the oldest churches. The sto-
ry goes that they were originally intended
by the medieval builders to be erected on
other sites, but the stones being persistent
ly removed during the nighttime by de-
mons to the situations they at present oc-
cupy the builders proceeded with their
erections on the sites thus supernaturally
selected and were not further interfered
with Though many old relics, such as
stone collins and Roman affairs, have been
used by thrifty farmers for drinking
troughs, buttery stones and such like pur-
poses, they have not been desecrated with
impunity, and many stone has been tax
en- back to the place whence 1t came in or
der to get rid of ghostly visitations. In
Longridge, near Preston, in Lancashire
there is a lane called Written Stone lane
from an inscribed stone which has lain
there for great number of years, and
which none of the villagers care to move
1t is about feet long, 2 feet wide and ls
inches deep, and bears on it the following
inscription in deeply incised characters
"Ralph ffe laid this stone to I've for
ever, A. ID. 1855" Why Ralph Radcliffe
laid this stone no one now knows, but it
is regarded with mysterious awe by the
inhabitants. - Exchange.

The Reign of Tulle.

Tulle is becoming extremely fashion
able in Paris and therefore all over the
world. 1t is threatening to GUST the long
popular chiffons, and at the leading Pa
risian dressmakers this season many
evening dresses have been made for girls
and young married women of tulle over
silk slips of self or contrasting colors A
pretty model is a changeable glace taf-
feta in pale pink and azure, covered en-
tirely with azure silk tulle. The skirt
has loose fold about the feet, caught at
intervals with rosettes of pink and azure
MORE ribbon. The corsage is draped
with tulle, and the puffy" sleeves are
finished off with ribbon bows, and del
tcate tulle rufiie finishes the decolletage.

A Quarter of a Century Old.

On March 10 Sorosis was 90 years old.
The day was celebrated by breakfast mt
which the new officers We're installed.
Mrs. Lozier, the retiring president, who
presided, said:
members of Sorosis and dear friends,
today we celebrate our twenty-sixth an
niversary and begin the second quarter
century of our club life. We must not
count our anniversaries, wonderful
though they are, more than milestones
on our journey toward the spiritual tenn
pie of "a noble and purified womanhood,
whose stones shall be laid with fair col
ors, whose polished stones shall be our
daughters That temple opens its por-
tails to the singer, the writer, the stu
dent, the artist, the tender hearted Dor
cas- the angel of the household. We wild
en- our sympathies with our knowledge,
and we go on in healthful growth I'M
til our idea shall encircle the world, I'M
til groups of women everywhere shall be
transformed into what we have found to
be one of the best and happiest schools
for woman's development--the woman's
club"
After music by the New York Ladies'
quartet Mrs. Lozier installed the new
officers, making a graceful little speech
in reference to the new president, Mrs.
Helmuth, who is the seventh to occupy
that Office in Sorosis.
lyon know that for long time" said
Mrs. :-'Hzier, "the seventh star of the
pleiades was supposed to be lost wander
ing abor, in trackless space. But we are
happy to say that we have found her at
last. There seems to be some peculiar
! association with the number seven and
now that we complete the seven strings
of harmony we shall expect the last one
to be the best of all. Our new president
has gone in and out among us. has bro
ken bread with and for us, has occupied
high positions in our society and our es-
TEEN has now crystallized in our vote.
1t is with great pleasure, therefore, that
l introduce Mrs. Fannie |. Helmuth"
The new president was received with
hearty applause, and she undoubtedly
spoke sincerely when she said:
at is with unfeigned pleasure that |
thank you for the kind manner in which
| you have welcomed me as your chief Of
ficer for the ensuing year. My highest
aim shall be to make myself worthy of
the great honor you have conferred upon
me and to administer with impartial
justice the laws Of the association. To
me it seems that our ideals have been
most nobly filled by those dear friends
who have preceded me, and by none
more than by her who now retires from
the presidency. When we enter Sorosis,
we promise that we will be useful to the
club; that we will sustain each other in
all worthy efforts; that we will defend
each other against calumny and that we
will avoid doing anything that will in
jure the reputation Of Sorosis. Let us
live up to our pledges. "-Neso Yorl
