She Can Handle a Locomotive.

Mrs. Alfred Bishop Mason is probably
the only woman in the country who can
take out q locomotive engine. Certainly
she is the only society woman able to ac-
complish this feat.
When her husband was vice president
of one Of the large Florida railroads, Mrs.
Mason always went with him on his an
nual trip. She had been as O girl intense
ly interested in machinery, and 1t was
her Unsuitable desire to take an engine
over the road.
And she learned to doit in fine fashion.
She began by gaining the permission Of
the engineer to sit In the cab with him,
not doing anything but swinging on and
familiarizing herself with its swing and
the work required for its movement.
She says this was one of her most thrill
ing moments-to be able to sit with her
face toward the wind that almost engulfed
her, peering out into the darkness that
rushed past and being blinded by the glare
Of the great fires as the furnace doors
swung open to be replenished.
Her next lesson was learned at the whls-
tie. Then came the belloord, and soon
these two functions were left entirely to
her hands.
AS train drew up to station In Flor
ida where Mrs. Mason was waiting the
engineer and fireman Immediately made
room for her. She knew every one by
name on the different locomotives, and
they all knew her. Proud was the engt-
neer when his cab contained the bright
wife OF the vice president.
Her seat on the bench near the window
was known by the telegraph operator and
the station hands as the engine came up,
and all had pleasant greetings for her.
So in time she mastered the more diff
cult tasks, those that required nerve and
skill, and she could take an engine from
the Atlantic to the gulf Of Mexico as we'll
Rs an old engineer, and these latter were
very proud of her. One of the oldest men
on the road remarked to her once, when
ever your husband gets out of job, Mrs.
Mason, just come down here, and Wen
put you up In the union.'"

the coming woman as we shall flnd hSr
IN society:
"She viii rest her sweet influence, all
the stronger for its womanliness, on q
firm basis Of learning and Of heart. To
her husband she will be q help, because
Of the worthy and intelligent interest that
she can take in all Of his affairs; to her
family, fof her wise guidance, and to the
community because of the unselfsh inter
est with which she deVotes herself to fur
thering It's charitable and religious work.
The broad and lively interest that she
will take in all Of the leading questions
Of the day shall cause her to become not
only the wise friend, but the judlclous
counselor Of man. Her public spirit will
tend to elevate the moral tone Of the COM
munity in which she lives. She will live
true to the principles of broad and liv-
ing Christianity. She will conscientious
ly cultivate all of those pleasing graces Of
mind, soul and body that go TO enlarge
her influence as woman. AS dress is
but an outward expression Of a Woman's
true inward qualities she will in future,
even more intelligently than in the past,
realizing the power Of this expression to
work evil or good, strive to make it beau
tifnl and to keep 1t chaste and modest"

The Bicycle For Women.

The mention of the bicycle for women
opens @ field Of mild controversy which Is
only important because some Of the objec-
tions to its use are taken from the hygien-
10 standpoint as well as from the social.
Many objectors contend that the wheel is
as undesirable for women as the sewing
machine, while the majority Of parents se-
riously object to what they feel to be the
unpleasant publicity Of the exercise. As
a matter Of health, which Is Of the first
Importance the writer has made many
Inquiries among women who use the
wheel regarding the effects of the exercise
upon them and has failed to discover
single case Of injury or poor health result
ing from its use.
On the contrary, the testimony to its
exhilarating and healthful effect Is uni
versal. Several other American physi-
clans qualified to speak from experience
in the practice among women have warm
ly commended Its use. From the stand
point of a symmetrical exercise the posi-
tion is preferable to that on horse. The
movement is unlike that Of sewing ma
chine in several important respects. In
stead Of being bowed oveg In q cramped
position, which restricts the action Of
lungs, digestive and pelvic organs alike,
the woman rider sits erect, with full op-
portunity for chest expansion, while the
difference between the heenvironment Of the
sewing woman and the riding woman as
regards indoor and out Of door life Is most
important.-Dr. Mary T. Bissell in Popu-
lar Silence Monthly.

A Sponge In tho Kitchen.

A good deal of dusting around coal
stoves and open fires may be done to ad-
vantage with damp sponge. An expe-
rienoed housekeeper uses a large, coarse
sponge, once devoted to washing carriages.
Throw 1t into pail Of warm water and
add teaspoonful Of ammonia. Squeeze
it out as dry as possible and pass it quick
ly and lightly over the plain furniture,
the paint, the zinc, the corners Of the car
pets, the oilcloth, etc., rlnsing out ooca-
sionally. It viii remove every bit of dirt
and not merely disperse it into the room,
as a cloth or feather duster too often does,

that is very gratifying. While you have
the pail in hand you will find it easy to
wipe of finger marks or traces Of that
CRIME which seems to oomeno one knows
how. You give cleansing touch here and
there to doors, cupboard shelves or tables
with very little loss Of time and without
any Of that deliberate effort required for
regular aning.-Household.

The Art Of Cooking.

The lack Of properly cooked food may
become almost as serious as the lack Of
food itself, and physicians are constantly
finding among their patients those who
are starving in the midst Of plenty. 1t Ia
for this reason that the most thoughtful
students Of cookery are urging women to
do more than to consider the art Of cook
cry confined to those cookbook presCrip-
tions called recipes" and to give more
attention to those chemical changes
brought about when food Is subjected to
the action of heat. One food may require
a quick and direct application Of heat,
another steaming, one braising and one
the prolonged and slow heat Of the Atkin-
son cooker.
1t is Professor Atkinson, by the way,
who defines the art Of cooking as apply
ing heat to food in such way as ~ to
render 1t digestible, so that it's nutrient
properties may be assimilated in true pro-
portion In the human system; ~ to rem.
der 1t appetizing by the development Of
its own specific flavor; (8) to combine DIFF
ferent kinds Of food material in such a
way that each will render the other pala-
table; az to remove certain portions which
may not be palatable or digestible after
the first application Of heat, either as
wastelike bone, as excess like much Of the
fat that may be used for other purposes or
as woody fiber in many vegetables; (6) to
add to the essential elements salt In ltg
due proportion in almost every process
and sugar in some combinations and other
condiments, spices or havors In such a
way as to develop rather than disguise the
true flavor Of the principal food materials
entering into each dish.

Each Has Her Own Universe.

Why shouldn't woman be interested
In herselfl If she isn't, she may rest as
sured no one else will be. Isn't she inter
ested in her headaches and neuralgia,
bunions and other ills9 Then why not in
things that afford her pleasure or satisfac-
tionP No one will deny her this privilege.
Every woman is the center of little uni
verse. 1t may consist Of either ills or
pleasures or both, yet 1t is all her own,
and she will not thank any one for med
ding with it. To be popular, however, a
woman must get outside Of her own lit
tie universe when other women are about,
because each Of these has a universe of her
own which she is anxious to have recog-
nized. Whoever accommodates her in this
will be regarded as being perfectly lovely
and real sensible lady. 1t requires some
nerve to drop your own little universe and
praise another's, but 1t pays to do so.-
