Two charming and talented young
women composers who are making their
mark are Helen Hood and Margaret
Ruthven Lang. Both of them have for
some years been known as writers of
songs of far above average musical quail
ity-songs which the Apollo club, whose
stamp gives the hall mark, have delight
ed to sing, and songs which the best
known musicians have fastened to praise.
Margaret Ruthven Lang, the daughter
of the well known organist and com
poser, may be said to have directly in
herited her musical gifts, yet in no less
measure has Helen Hood, for her family,
one of the oldest in New England, has
always been noted for its musical ability.
1t is not little remarkable that both
of these talented girls, whose gifts bear
so close resemblance to each other, can
look back not only to a New England
ancestry, but to ancestors whose lives
touched closely in the same little Massa-
chusetts town of Lynnield three-quar-
tiers of century ago, and it is not I'M
interesting to note that the first musical
instruction which the grandfather of
Margaret Lang received was given to
him by the grandfather of Helen Hood.

The era of newly educated woman
hood seems TO be bearing fruit already
in the endeavor to place the household
in a more healthful condition than was
possible while women possessed little
more than a slnattering OF piano playing
and French and Berlin work. The Ma
tional Housekeepers' Economic associa-
ton was instituted for the express pur-
pose of rousing women to a sense of their
responsibility not only as housekeepers,
but also as housebuilders, for from the
science of true nourishment we are now
passing to the study of true sanitation
as embodied in the knowledge of heating,
lighting and ventilation, and from this
knowledge on to the higher ethics of the
close relation between morality and sound
living in a healthy environment, with
proper food and clothing.
1t is an interesting fact that it is the
younger women instructors in the col
leges that are taking up these practical
questions instead of the abstruse theories
or dead and forgotten languages. Pro-
fessor Lucy Salmon of Vassar is devot
ing much study to the subject of domes-
tic service, and Miss Marion Talbot of
Boston for several years made sanitary
science in practical form her special sub
ject Of study, acquiring such a reputa-
ton for her investigations that when
Chicago university made up its faculty
she was called to be professor of SAM
tary science, with both women and men
in her Experimentation York Letter.

PosToFFIcE IN A SACK.

Farmer Fenner Tires of His Job. Resigns
Twice and Then Quits.
Stones Corners, up in McHenry coun-
ty, Ills, is without postoffice. Hainlin
Fenner, once contented farmer, who
shouted long and loud for Grover Cleve-
land and presided at all the Democratic
pole raisings in the "deestrict," secured
the appointment as postmaster at tae
Corners when the Democracy came into
its own and got along swimmingly until
he came up to the fair and learned at the
Washington state building of the gi-
gantic trees and fertile farms in the far
west. After that the postofice business
at Stones Corners seemed fat, stale and
improbable.
Farmer Fenner wanted to quit the
postal service and get back to his native
element on a western farm. So he re-
signed. He sent his letter to Washing
ton, but received no answer. Then he
sent another and waited, but still no an
swer came. Last Monday Fenner be-
came desperate. He had resigned twice
and decided to force an acceptance, so he
packed the postage stamps, postal cards,
money, mucilage and ink bottles in a
sack together and carried them over to
Richmond. Taking the sack into the
postofice, he chucked it into corner,
saying to the postmaster:
"There's the Stones Corners postoffice.
I've resigned twice, and now I've quit"

Patrick R. Quincy, was one of the early

Thrilling Rescue of Mother and Babe From
Blazing House.
Strangers helped in the rescue from
death of woman during a fire in the
tenement house 46 Sheriff street the 9TH
or afternoon. Mrs. Sarah Goldstein,
who became mother three days before,
was lowered out of sixth story win
dow, lifted across an sirshaft and taken
down over an iron picket fence on the
roof of the adjoining building.
1t was about 4:30 o'clock when the fire
broke out ON the fifth floor. Instantly
there was panic. The occupants rushed
down stairs penmell shouting "Firel"
Mrs. Goidstein was in bed with her
baby. To add to her terror smoke pulled
into her room, ami clouds of it rolled up
in front Of her window. Fortunately
her husband was home with her. She
herself was perfectly helpless.
There was no escape by the stairs.
The only way out was by the window
which overlooked the airshaft While
Goldstein was gazing out of it two men
who were strangers climbed out of the
window in the hall, swung themselves
across the airshaft to the iron picket
fence and clambered slowly along the
fence until they got near the window
where Goldsfein was.
The men, who were clinging to the
picket fence, braced themselves and
shouted to Goldstein to hand his wife
out. Goldstein lifted the helpless and
almost unconscious woman over the
window sill and lowered her down until
the two men caught her and handed her
across the shaft. One false move and all
hands would have fallen into the shaft
and met instant death. The rescuers
were cool, however, and they lifted the
woman over the top of the fence and
finally to the roof. The baby was carried
out moment later. New York Tribune.

Herodotus gives a good description of
the manner in which the early Ethiopi-
ans preserved their dead. Having thor
oughly dried the corpse, they plastered
it over with a paste made of gypsum and
then painted the face and exposed parts
SO as to make them look as natural as
possible. Dead bodies served in this
