much mooted ''New Woman, % who very
often goes forth to toll, as does a man,
for her daily bread, that there has been
any need of such an institution. For
merly it was only the woman who
through some misfortune was obliged
to do almost anything to keep out of the
last ditch in the struggle for existence
that frequently needed shelter, and
she, as a rule, stood in need of food,
also, and, for the matter of that, al
most everything else. At the Hone
of the Friendless" she was housed, and
her needs ministered to until such time
as she could be relaunched on the tide
of meager bread winning, to more often
than frequently return to be again
cared for, since she was essentially
dependent creature. The woman whose
temporary needs demand a lodging
house such as has been provided in
numbers in all large cities for men, is
wholly different being. She is not de
pendent, but independent. She has
usually a bit of money in her pocket
and also has clearly defined ideas of
what she proposes to do. Her neces-
sity is not to go into dry docks for re-
pairs, but only into safe harbor for
brief space. She is not seeker after
charity, in fact would resent its be-
stowal, although she gladly avails her
self of an opportunity to be comfort
ably housed, when she can pay small
sum for the accommodation in money
or labor.
1.-THE Model Lodging House and
Workshop for Women" which is sole
representative of its kind in Chicago,
was established in response to dem
onstrated demand. A year ago, when
the sudden financial depression was
followed by the shutting down of so
many factories and workshops, the
Chicago Women's club secured funds
and opened sewing-rooms where
women, were paid fifty cents day in
order to relieve as much as possible the
want which was pressing. During the
time these emergency sewing-rooms
were conducted it become clear that
there was need Of a lodging house for
women with workshop, where
woman could earn the price of nights
lodging, and even more if neces-
sary. A committee was appointed to
see what could be done about estab-
fishing an institution of this kind, and,
after securing pledges of financial aid
from the various clubs of women
throughout the city, the undertaking
was launched in modest way in apart
ments opening off httlea-cul de sac

Especial washington letter.

One Of the most interesting as well
ms important branches of the Smith
ssonian institution is the Photographic
establishment, which was organized
many years ago with a view of collect
ing and disseminating valuable infor-
nation in the art of photography
among scientists and inventors and to
develop that art among scientific insti-
tutions. The establishment has lately
grown into national prominence on &C
count of the wide scope and character
eof its work The chief photographer is
Mr.. Thomas W. Smillie, who for twen-
ty-six years has held the position. He
is a Scotchman of fve-and-fifty years.
He is tall and slim, with pale features.
His mustache is light and so is his hair,

SEVENTEENTH YEAR.

This camera was the frat daguerreo-
type apparatus made in our country
and before it's presentation the father
of practical electricity sent to Paris
and secured the first achrou1atic lenses
ever made, and which have since that
time played very important part in
photography.
Along the low wall of one side Of the
room are several cabinets which were
formerly used to hold curios downstairs
in the Smithsonian institution, and
pave been taken up for use in the
studio In these cabinets are exhibited
specimens showing the entire process
of taking a picture from the time of re-
moving the cap rrom the lens until it ic
mounted and polished on the card board
back. This fine collection of specimens
is the result Of years Of extensive re-
search on the part Of the photographer,
Mr.. Smillie, who has gathered together
samples of each of the articles used in
taking and developing photograph
from the time the first machine was In
vented until the present day. It is be-
ieved that the national museum will in
a short time have an additional build
ing constructed, specially for it's own
use, in which the Photographic studio
will be allowed large section of space
for the exhibition of such specimens as
Mr.. Smillie has been able to accumu-
late. For the present the collection is
packed away in the cabinets on the
sides of the wall, almost unknown, IN
honored and unsung. There is also
piled in confusion on the shelves in
these cabinets a large assortment of
Photographic paraphernalia which, if
sufficient space were afforded, could be
assorted and arranged in groups to
form another valuable addition to the
exhibition.
A special room to the left of the pho
tographic Office is given up entirely to
microscopic work and is known as the
microscopic room. This branch of
Photographic work is Mr.. Smillie's
forte. He is an expert in the work and
has won fame abroad as well as at
home. The Partisan academy of in
ventors awarded him a medal for ex-
cellence Of workmanship in the pho
Biography of thin sections of wood. The
microscopic room is dark and small,
and the only entrance which the sun
light has is by means of a window filed
with yellow-paned glass.
The principal work in which Mr..
Smillie is engaged is that of making
photographs of the curiosities which
are intended to be placed on exhibition
in the institution downstairs. It is inn
perative that all of the valuable speci-
mems should be first photographed for
the future preservation and restora-
ton of the specimens. in the event Of
their destruction. The various objects
are so numerous that the esta ablish-
ment is kept constantly busy on this
special work. There is a picture de-
partment where each photograph after
it is taken is catalogued and stored
away with the many thousands Of
others which have been taken before.
Probably the branch which furnishes
the most subjects for work is the Sec
ton of Indian curios and relics. There
are myriads of these incessantly COM

ing into the hands of the museum au-
thOrities and ample work is afforded
the photographers.
This Photographic studio also per-
forms some valuable service in that it
furnishes photographs for use in illus
trating scientific magazines and Jour
nails. The publishers of the various
scientific papers call upon Mr.. Smillie
from time to time for photographs of
specimens of the various curios which
they intend to describe in their next
issues. Work is also done for the
papers published by the national mu-
scum, and every illustration of curio
printed in the museums annual Jour
nal, Contribution to knowledge" is
copied from photograph furnished by
Mr.. Smillie.
This important branch of work es-
tablished in connection with the Smith
sonian institution, although well de-
veloped, can be said to be only in
primary condition. Much work of q
valuable kind can be accomplished in
the future, and it is expected that In
later years this establishment will de-
velop into a camera shop of such mag
nitude as to attract attention from
scientists and inventors of the whole
world. The world moves on and takes
no notice of the deaths of men, because
others arise and take their places; but
the world would be much poorer if the
light and life of this national photo
graphic establishment, in the person of
Mr.. Smillie, were taken away. He is
in the full strength and vigor of robust
manhood and bids fair to live to see the
work of his creation honored and ap-
preciated by his country and by the
civilized nations of the earth.

rsnenial Chicaco L.etter.1

OF the numerous and various institu.
lions provided by the philanthropic for
the victims of untoward conditions,
the lodging house for women is one of
the latest to be established. It is also
one of the most uncommon. There is
but one in Chicago, and that was
opened only a few months ago. In
fact, there are not more than two or
three in this country.
The reason that lodging house for
women is so unusual as to be almost
unique among institutions is not far
to seek, since it is really simply mat;
ter of supply and demand. 1t is only
since the advent in numbers of the

Some Mushrooms Poisonous.

The greed Of gain, regardless of con-
sequences, is one Of the dangerous ele-
ments in business life, and Is never
more clearly brought out than in the
culture Of mushrooms. 1t Is well UNDER
stood that mushrooms grown on old
pastures are wholesome and delicious
of course, taking it for granted that
they are freshly gathered and properly
prepared. The London Lancet has an
interesting article on the subject Of
growing mushrooms, and calls atten-
ton to some points that are worthy of
the notice of health authorities and
housekeepers. The mushroom Is very
low order Of organization. 1t fourishes
on old manure heaps, and Is capable of
taking up large amount Of the mate
rial from which 1t derives its existence.
Clean and carefully handled manure,
with fair amount of old sod and earth,
grow healthfui plants, but In some large
cities garbage and filthy matter OF all
sorts Is used In the preparation of the
beds. Microscopic investigation has re-
vealed the fact that the cap Of the
mushroom Is so constructed that IL can
absorb from the manure vapors which
are. dangerous poisons The little
fringes underneath the cap are there
fore little more than storehouses Of
poisons. 1t would be well worth while
for consumers Of mushrooms to find

other purposes. There is great fisk at
tending this unless the greatest care is
taken In cleaning them. This Is best
done by very strong soda and potash
which should be allowed to remain In
them for some time. An lustration OF
the danger of using these barrels with
out proper cleaning is given. A barrel,
with one head removed, had been
placed In the cellar and a quantity OF
kitchen utensils were put into 1t for
storage, the idea being that they would
not rust on account of the oil. Some ar
ticle being needed, a match was light
ed, and held over the barrel in order
to see to take the piece out. 1t
CHANGED to touch the edge of the bar
rel, and instantly the flame ran all
around the inside, setting the barrel on
fire, completely destroying the contents
and filling the entire house with black
and thick smoke and SCOT. In another
instance a wooden alcohol barrel took
fire in the same way and exploded,
throwing a quantity Of iron with which
1t was filled with great force in all d.
rections, killing one person and severe
ly injuring several others.

A Wooden Railroad.

Florida is soon to have novel method
of transportation in the form Of a
wooden railway. The Railway Age re-
Gently gave an account of its history
and constructions:
Some time ago the citizens OF Avon
Park and Haines City, Fla, believed
that a transportation route connecting
them would be Of great advantage. The
country is sandy and nearly level. 1t
has been decided to build the road with
wood rails, which are large enough to
be laid so that they will be half i'm
bedded in the sand, without other bal
last They are to be held in position
by wooden pins two inches in diameter
and eighteen inches long, while the ends
are connected by plank couplers placed
underneath and hold by pins. Not
pound Of metal will be used in the con-
struction of the track, although the line
will be forty miles long. Most Of the
rails" will be furnished gratis by the
property owners along the right Of way
The company believes that in a few
years the fruit, vegetable, and passen-
ger business over the route will pay for
regular steel rails, when the others will
be used for ties. A small steam dummy
will furnish power for the road.
