Miss Jane L. Brownell, the Bryn
Mawr fellow in political economy for
1894, made an original investigation
into the growth and limitations of popu-
lations in the United States and took
her masters degree with thesis on
''The Significance of a Decreasing Birth
Rate " 1t was published in the annals
of the American Academy of Political
and Social Science and has received
wide recognition from political econ
omists in this country and in Europe.
Mr.. Herbert Spencer has added page
to the fifth edition of the Principles of
Biology" to welcome Miss Brownell's
statistics as confrmatory of some views
which he put forth many years ago re-
garding the laws of multiplication.

The Craze For Crepon.

Women have positively gone crepon
mad. No new stuff can hope for the
slightest attention unless it has crepon
characteristics to recommend it. Even
cotton goods are woven in humps and
ridges and wavy undulations, and all
the silks and woods with any claim to
popularity, and even the airy, fairy chif-
fons-which might have been supposed
to be lovely enough in themselves-have
crepon surfaces. Ribbons have caught
the craze and have ridge edges. So has
yelling, and frightfully unbecoming it is,
too, giving it's wearer's features a blur
red, worry effect, as if they were seen
in a very poor mirror When the crepon
craze reaches mackintoshes and over
shoes, it win have attained its height,
and its decline may confidently be ex-
peoted to begin. New York Letter.

"a Rrother to Girls.,,

Strolling through the city's streets on
a sunny day a merry band of boys and
girls issuing from Sunday school, each
bearing picture paper in hand, attract
ed my attention. One among them, a
sturdy lad of 6, led by the hand little
tot of 4. Great pools of water flooded
the crossings. At each one the little fell
low lifted his wee charge, and stagger-
ing beneath the burden, bore her safely
over. Both by instinct and training the
American boy early learns this lesson of
care and attention to his girl playmates-
Perhaps to this we owe the fact that the
whole world over American men are
held to be most chivalrous toward wom-
en-, the most unselfish of husbands, the
most indulgent of fathers, the most at
tentive of brothers and the most de-
voted of friends, thus causing the lot
of American women to be looked upon
as enviable by the women of all other
nations. Home Queen.

writing a note few days ago in the
Office of the Edgefeld Is, c. Chron-

norman dropped in. Upon being intro
duced to Miss Lewis, he told her that
he, too, was woman suffragist The
editor of The Chronicle says loosely:
cat this we dropped heavily into our
chair Our jaws fell apart, and our eyes
popped entirely out of our head and
rolled about pellmell on the floor. Miss
Lewis eyes did not pop out-that is,
not entirely-but they danced and

Pleiades on frolic. It was pretty scene.

Women In Maine.

The suffragists of Maine may be con-
graduated upon the substantial gains
they have made in the laws. Although
the municipal suffrage bill which passed
the house was defeated by four votes in
the senate, the legislature of 1895 will
be remembered as the legislature which
passed the law giving to mothers equal
authority with fathers in the custody of
their minor children and the care of
their property, and, further, as the leg
islature which gave to widows an ahso-
Lutte right of dover in the property of
the husband, similar provision being
made for the widowers. It has also been
deereed that where husband and wife
live apart the courts may require the
husband to make an allowance to his
wife without divorce being granted.
The bill changing the law as to dover
was drawn by Judge Savage of Auburn
and is said by lawyers to be particu-
larly creditEDle piece of legislation in
the care and skill shown in its framing.

This act commits to full woman suf-
