ONE wOMAN's WORK.
A very uncommon as we'll as import
ant piece of work in the line Of diction-
airy making has just been accomplished
by an English lady, Mrs. Plumtre. 1t
has been difficult undertaking and has
occupied her nearly two and a half
years, working four, Ave and often SIX
hours a day. The dictionary will re-
quire $500 pages, and will be divided
into fifteen or sixteen large volumes
| containing in all about $4,000 words
with their definitions. The number Of
volumes and pages seems disproportion-
ate to the number Of words, but this
particular work is intended for the use
of the blind, and Is printed in the large
sized Eraille type. Braille Is one of the
methods of printing for reading by
touch in which the characters are form
ed by points or dots. These characters
are raised about 1882 Of an inch above
the level of the page. In foreign coun-
tries both books and music are emboss-
ed in the Braile point. Books for those
who can read only by the touch of the
fingers must necessarily be bulky and
expensive, The Bible, for instance, is
in eleven volumes, and in the plainest
binding costs twenty dollars. Mrs
Plumtre's dictionary will be the only
one with meanings in Braille. AS the
demand for it must be limited, and the
profit to the compiler correspondingly
small, the work is really labor of love
and deserves the appreciation of the
seeing as well as the appreciation Of the
sightless.
II HEAR SPRING WHISPER"
Where the stream Manders through the
shining mead,
hear spring whisper with her frag-
rant breath,
And to her voice the skylark answer
eth,
Singing, "of love the world has need,
has need"
Then, with bent ear, another note 1
heed,
The swelling sap it's music heraldeth,
"Of life the world has need has need"
it saith
This is the song Of flower and leaf and
seed.
Blent with these melodies of joyful
spring,
The soft, glad sunshine gIows the
lawns along,
And Ger the broad earth spreads an
azure wing;
"Of light the world has need, has need"
the song.
OF these high strains may not hear
the whole,
Only the burden ringeth in my soul

Chicago Is happy over a plan to i'm
prove the Lake Front park and make
it one Of the most dazzling parks in
the world. The plan is to extend the
present park, which is 300 feet wide,
1856 feet further into the lake, and
ON this will be erected an armory, mu-
sic hall, museum, Lincoln monument
Crerar Library, Exposition building,
@fFile these buildings, which, accord
ing to Ahe plans, will revive the glories
of those at the great Worlds Fair, will
be surrounded by beautiful lawns,
parade and play grounds. AT the ex-
IRENE outer edge. on the east side, di-
rectly in line with the main or Fine
Arts building, it is proposed to locate
a reproduction Of the celebrated Mac
Monnies fountain, with water running
down over the steps into a, basin or
pool. In a circle in front of this foun-
tain the projectors propose a bronze
statue of Columbus, The dirt to fill
in this large area can be secured for
nothing, SO the first outlay, it is be
lieved, will be small. If the park ever
becomes a reality it will be the best
tribute to art ever made by an Ameri-
can municipality.

IRON tne hunSaS City journal
Several years ago l was studying un-
der DR.. Smithers, of Galesburg, Ill.
One day he was called to treat a pa
tient who had been seized with severe
attack Of collie. The patient was one
of the richest men in Galesburg, and
was noted as being very penurious. DR..
Smithers found the patient hardly able
to talk, but between his groans he man
aged to say to the physician, ooh, doc
tor! I don't think you can do anything
for me. but If you can save my life /
will give you $500" DIR. Smithers smil-
ed and started to administer relief. In
a few minutes the patient remarked to
the doctor that he did not think it was
any use. but if he was cured he would
owe him his life. Six months later DR..
Smithers sued him for small fee of

consists of quantity OF ruffies of span
gled lace set on wire frame and gar
nished with loops of straw braid. The
tie strings are of pink velvet and two
pink velvet roses show at either side
of the front.
The market is flooded with English
walking hats, but, alas, they are all of
them made in so scanty size that the
former characteristic Of the English
hattie fit low down on the head--is
impossible. and so 1t is that the aver
age purchaser doesn't look right" for
all the hat she wears, in the hand seems
the right shape. The only security
that the hat will be right and convey
the suggestion of English correctness
is in a purchase that necessitates con-
siderable outlay. Since a large sum
put into hat of this kind provides nat
ty headwear for couple Of seasons,
what else could one get, outside of the
merry sailor, that would wear as WELL
and with so stylish effect for less mon
ey?
That same sailor is still the wear for
the million, whether it be the million
dollar or the million mob, let 1t noticed
that the extremely pronounced styles
are not in favor The average crown,
the average brim, and the unconspicu-
Gus band are the general as we'll as
the best wear The wonder of the sail
or and the secret ofits sustained popu-
larity is that 1t takes elegance of eff
feet or the reverse from Its wearer,
and from the rest Of her attire. SO 1t
is that the inexpensive hat that one
girl wears will seem the browning touch
of faultless rig. while the same hat
on another will seem to be only zone
of those vulgar sailors"
Adorable organdie hats all adroop
about the face with wide lace edged ruff
fles and making a billowy background
for the hair are extremely becoming
and may be worn, perhaps, twice. AZ
ter that? They cannot even be given
away, for there is no more use for
mussed finery than there is for cold
fritters. FLORETTE.

great that the Woman's board has

A DANGEROUS PLAYHOUSE.
The Children Were Lighting Matches Over
 Dynamite Cases.

The Children Were Lighting Matches Over
 Dynamite Cases.
 Among the many adventures that be- fell Mir. Jebb in the course of his Rocky mountain mining experiences was one connected with dynamite, says the Youths Companion. A line of rooms had been built for the accommodation of clerks, the storing of dynamite and so forth. Then the superintendent sent for his wife and family. The children, numerous and turbulent, were made free of the place, with the necessary ex- ception of the dynamite storeroom.
 Probably for the reason that this one TO Jm was forbidden to them they were constantly caught hanging about it, to be dismissed promptly with a caution. Finally after it was thought they had forgotten the subject, Mir. Jebb was going home to bed early one morning, after si; ing up all night with refrac- tory furnace, when he happened to no tice at the outer door of a room con- taining giant powder was ajar.
 Thinking of the gross carelessness of wnich some one had been guilty, he WGlll J1 SllQb OnO Ot1OL. <AS 4lC Nl0 SOg he glanced inside and, to his horror, he saw the whole half-dozen children sis sing on the various cases, trying to see which could make a match burn longest.
 .Aere was enough explosive sub stance in the room to blow up the en- tire town, and it seemed extremely probable that that was just what was going to happen, for it flashed through Ar. Jebb's mind in a second that if he startled the children they would drop their matches and run, when the re- suit would be pretty certain.
 They were too busy to have caught sight of him. lie moved little away from the door and then called to them softly. Probably his voice was some what shaken by what the novelists call conflicting emotions" for at first the children did not recognize it, but at gerly cut of the room, fearful lest retri- button for their disobedience might be about to befall them.
 The moment the last child-carrying a still-burning match-crossed the threshold Mir. Jebb rushed into the storeroom just in time to extinguish smoldoring match-head on the floor and, after searching look around to see that all was safe. he went out ag1in and locked the door with a gasp of relief.
 Then he marched the children off to tAeir father, with whom, to judge from the sounds, they spent an exciting half-hour.

Vigorous Plea Against Their Persecution

Vigorous Plea Against Their Persecution
 by Florida Legislator.
 Among the amusing discussions dur ing the legislative session at Tallahas- see was that on bill of Sullivan's of Escambia, providing for the prompt slaughter of rabid dogs The reading clerk, says the Florida Times Union, had just read the title when an old gentleman, a representative from one of the interior counties, arose and with great gravity and dignity said:
 ''Mr. Speaker, l an opposed to that bill. l am opposed to ie because don't see why rabbit dogs should be killed any quicker than any other kind of dogs. I've got a rabbit dog. He ain't much on looks, but I tell you, when that dog gets on a hot trail in the broom sedgc and little later you hear his voice a-yclping in Q high key and the yelps gettin' fainter and fainter, till by and by you can just hear 'cm down in the holler, and you go there and you see the little bench-lcgged yeller rascal barkin', his eyes bright and his fore head wrinl1led with excitement, under a sartia tree, jes' get you a pole and meat is your n for dinaer"
 There was breathlcs3 silence during the eloquent appeal for the rabbit dog. When it had been concluded others rose up and paid glowing tributes to the qualities of the rabbit dogs they owned, until one would have believed that a thing necessary to a mans candidacy in tine state of I4o1;da is frst-class rabbit dor. The bill, by the way, was killed by a large majority.

He got opp 'site the hay wa, ,n, looked up, stopped, and then took piecc of hay and went on in dceo thought. Pretty soon a we'll dres ;ed business man happened along, saw the wagon, stepped up to it, and took th-ec pieces of hay. He began to che v G7c meditatively and carried the others off with him. A middle-aged Nvo. an came near, and she. too, pulled out a piece and carried it with her. Then pretty girl with blue striped shirt waist and straw sailor hat with blue band came along, and had ns.rly passed when she Saw the wagon, an after looking around to see that th re was no one whom she knew watching, stole over and carefully se- le ted long, slender bit, which she carried with much care. After that everybody. from dirty-faced urchin with baseball bat to nurse girl with baby carriage, stopped and selected pi cce of hay and departed happy. The policeman and the reporter stood in the doorway for twenty minutes and watched the procession.
 Strange, isn't it?' said the police man. i've been on this beat for three months, and I've never seen man or a vnIaan or child pass without taking piece of hay. 1t is not 60 with straw. Why, load of straw could stay there for whole day and not one person in ise would think of taking a piece. think that the reason so many people take hay is on account of the sweet taste it has, for piece of hay, when it is in ~ood condition and not too dry, is really very nice thing to chew on. People who would rather die than chew a toothpicl1 on the street think nothing of going down the street with long piece of hay in their mouths as uncon- cerned as three schoolgirls walking abreast. Funny, isn't it?"
 The reporter agreed that it was, and then left. As he passed the hay he in- voluntarily reached out his hand, and before he was aware of it he had a long piece of hay ia his mouth. He heard queer noise behind him, and, looking around, he saw the policeman, pointing his club at the wagon and then at him, and laughing. But when the reporter returned in about hals an hour he saw a blue-clad figure strolling down the street with something sticking out in front of his shoulder. It was the po- liceman, and the reporter smiled as he passed him. He had big wisp of hay, and was chewing it like the rest.
