Women at Gottinren.

In spite of the fact that Miss Grace Chisholm received the degree of doctor of ph'losnrhy from Gottingen univer- sity the position of women at that insti- tuition of learning is by no means as- surcd. Some members of the faculty still sternly resist the claims of women to be educated and refuse to lecture to them. Even the more advanced of them think Ehat women should be admitted to tho university with much more dis crimination than is the case with men.
 Candidates for admission have an awe inspiring amount of red tape to unroll before they have the right to apply for degrees They are obliged to secure per mission from the Prussian minister of education, subject to the individual wishes of the professors of the univer- sity, who have perfect right to exclude the women if they so desire. The faculty reserves the right to refuse to present to the minister of education any particular request for degree. It is understood that the candidate must have fulfilled the usual requirements before being granted the degree. She must have studied three years at a German university, or university adjudged by the faculty to be of equal standard, the last year at least to be spent ill Gottin- gen. She must present an original dis sertation which possesses in the judg- ment of the faculty scientific value and have this afterward printed. She must pass an oral examination in the subject with which her thesis deals and in two related subjects. Letter.

The Japanese wheelwomen.

The all conquering bicycle has in vaded Japan, and is now a familiar sight in the land of the jinrikisha. The Europeans take to it kindly, and the lit tie brown men and women are equally enthusiastic. The government has equipped many of its postmen with mail ill the Suburbs or in the country districts. In each brigade a bicycle corps has been formed, which is daily drilled ill about the same style as simi lar organizations i'll the armies of Flu rope.
 The Japanese people themselves still regard the wheel as great curiosity, but are beginning to both master and manufacture it, At one or two places Japanese girls have learned to ride the wheel, and those who have seen them pronounce it the funniest thing imagina- blc. A lady i'll Nagasaki writes to me |: "A Japanese girl ill our neighborhood has astonished her people by appearing on safety Her costume was extraor- dinary, consisting of the native Ramona or dress and a pair of nondescript gar mentS, which are not knickerbockers, trousers, zouaves or bloomers. The lu- dicrous effect is heightened by the girl having the national habit of turning the toes in developed to its largest extent. All that you see when she passes you is pair of round and pretty heels wab- bling ill an uncertain manner and lit tie body coiled up that makes you think of q gay little monkey on top of Tnle.
 Japanese girls arc funny enough, but on a bicycle they are simply e1cruciating " New York Mail and Express.

HOW TO MAKE GRAPE JELLY.
Simple Rules For Making Delightful
 

Simple Rules For Making a Delightful Preserve.
 Stem the grapes carefully. Put them in a stone jar and set it ill boiling Wa ter. Let the water boil around the GOV cred jar from half to three-quarters of an hour.
 Mash the grapes when they are thor oughly heated to let the juice run out. When they are well cooked, strain them through a sheer cloth of unbleached cot ton.
 For the finest jelly uso the juice that drips through first, and for the second quality, which is good enough for jelly cake, squeeze the pulp and extract all you can by pressure. Measure out the two qualities of juice by themselves, al lowing pound of granulated sugar for every pint of juice. Put the sugar ill the oven in tin pan, while you boil the juice down in porcelain kettle. When | the juice has boiled 20 minutes, add the hot sugar. It will melt into the boiling juice with missing sound The mo- l ment it is melted and boils up again the jelly has "colne," and it is ready to | put into the bowls. When it is cold, set IL away uncovered III d COOL pliCe 4uS next morning it should be firm and per feet. Cover it closely with two rounds of paper which have been dipped in brandy and pressed down against the jelly. This precaution is especially nee essary with grape jelly, which is pc culiarly liable to mold

 In putting up grape jelly it is we'll tc put, as an extra precautiOn, layer of

 taken to secure ripe grapes that are
 thoroughly sound. None that show the
 slightest tendency to wrinkle or fall

How to Try on Shoes.

There are special times and seasons for the trying on of new shoes A larger pair of shoes is needed ill summer than in winter It is always best to try them on in the latter part of the day The feet are then at the maximum size. Ac- tivity naturally enlarges them or makes them swell. Much standing tends also to enlarge the feet. New shoes should also be tried on over moderately thick stockings. Then you can put on thin ner pair to ease your feet if the shoes seem to be tight. It is remarkable what a difference the stockings make. If they are too large or too small, they will be nearly as uncomfortable as pair of shoes that are too tight. New shoes can be worn with as much ease as old ones if they are stuffed to the shape of the foot with cloth or paper and patiently sponged with hot water. Or if they pinch ill some particular spot cloth wet with hot water and laid across the place will cause immediate and lasting relief.

UNCLE SAM AND PART OF HIS BIG CORN
 CROP.
 at 70, 900, ,O0O. If there are five persons in each family, the sum received for the corn would amount to $50 a family. Quite two-thirds as much money, or about 20 cents bushel& sill be spent for moving the crop fro1A the farmer to the market. This will amount to $47O,- 900, ,O00, of which perhaps 30 per cent, or $141 ,OO0, ,OOO, will be net profit. This vast sum would be equal to per cent dividend on capital of $2, S2O, 900, 900. As n matter of fact, however, it cannot be treated as net profit by many of the roads, but will have to be used ill many cases to offset losses sustained during the depression with which the country has been cursed during the last two or three years. Of course the corn crop earnings will largely help to lift some roads out of condition closely ap- preaching bankruptcy, and it will un- doubtedly enable such thoroughfares of commerce as have successfully with stood the storm of hard times to add materially to their cash surplus and di- vi6end paying ability. This means trips to Europe and seashore cottages for some moderate stockholders and steam yachts and marble palaces for some big ones. It also means salvation from utter ruin for many whose holdings are not of much consequence in the financial world.
 But the meaning of this crop to the wage earners of the country is far more interesting. It is assumed that 70 per cent, or $329, 900, 900, of the $470, 900, 900 used ill moving the corn will be swallowed up ill the actual cost of trans. portation. Reduced to the last analysis, most of this enormous sum will be paid in wages to trainhands, locomotive en- gineers, trackmen, switchmen, section bosses, and so on. A large sum will also go for new cars,vbut most of the cost of cars even is finally paid out il wages, and the same is true of the other large sum which will be paid out foi coal to make steam to run the engines. h other words, the great corn crop oi

1895 means more work ana better wages to lumbermen, who cut the trees and saw them up into boards and timbers for cars; ; for men of all trades, including carpenters, painters, fOundrymen, etc., who are employed ill bui lding cars, to miners of iron and miners of coal, to men who cut and get out ties to keep the railroad tracks in order and to many other sorts of workmen, not counting those who make clothes and shoes and hats and furnish food and other neoes saries and comforts of life to the han dlers of the crop. In short, a great corn crop means increased prosperity for al most every one of the inhabitants of that part of the United States located far enough north to be either in the corn producing belt or the territory through which run the railroads over which the abundant stream of golden kernels is transported from the west to the east.
 It would be difficult indeed to esti- mate the enormous benefit one such good crop confers upon the inhabitants of the United States.

 It is little hard to ''dress up" in the evening, when nothing seems to suit the sunburned face and hands so well as the negligce outing costume we wear daily, which, by the way, should be navy blue or dark green. But suppose we have a secret talk together, my blue eyed maids, before it is time to appear at the tea table and see if things cannot be bettered little!
 First, let me tell you, before you go on water excursion, to thoroughly bathe your face, neck and hands with any pure cold cream, an excellent prep aration for warding off and removing Sunburn, that can be bought at any druggists. Then, when you enter your room all heated and tired on your ar rival home, first take sponge bath, and after it fill deep basin with lukewarm water and into it boldly plunge your face, holding your breath and closing your eyes.
 Keep it there as long as possible with out breathing; then "come to the sur face," take deep breath and try it again, repeating the process a number of times. Gently dab your face dry with soft towel, afterward sponging it light ly with alcohol. and sit, or, what is bet ter, lie down and rest half an hour or longer.
 At the end of that timo you will find your color will have perceptibly dimin- ished, and little baby powder deftly applied will remove the shiny appear ance and tone down the overredness ef- fectively. On retiring for the night bathe the face, neck and arms again and apply the cold cream as before di. rected. d.-Jenness Miller's Monthly.

tive abundance, for the crop which has been made during the summer. It means comfortable clothing for thou sands and thousands who would other wise go about shabbily clad. It means other comforts for other thousands and luxuries and the social amenities for many. In fact, it means an enormous forward step for the whole country and is therefore one of the things for which the entire nation should be de- voutly thankful
 Already the benefcent influence of this great growth of corn has begun to be felt by all concerned. True, its marketing has not yet begun, for it is yet some weeks before it will be har vested, but it is easy for the farmer to get credit of all sorts when tho dealers know that by and by he will havo money in comparative plenty, and so, by the process of discounting good for tune in advance for which Americans are noted, the farmer has already begun to buy the things he needs.
 In order to be prepared to haul the crop when it is ready for transportation | the railroad managers have begun to order cars and to put their roadbcds in ! better order. Warehouses and elevators are being put in shape, and as the farm CTS will by and by be buying largely of manufactured goods with the money | they receive for the corn, factories and mills of. various sorts are piling up ] stocks of merchandise which will be | moved west in return for the corn and the pork and beef to be moved east. ! Wheels are now turning in many manu- I featuring ccutcrS that would be idle | were it not for this corn crop. Workmen are drawing wages who would other | wise be wonderirg whether times would ever improve again CT not Commercial 1 travellers are strrtiEg cut on their fall trips with brighter hopes for quick sales ! and good commissions than they have had for two or three years. Business men are getting ready to advertise as soon as the fall season of buying shall 1 begin. In short, the lifeblood of pros perity, which has been quickened and oxygenized by the phenomenal yield ot corn, is beginning to pulsate everywhere.
 One feature which always attends the harvesting and transportation of great crop is apt to escape the general ob' | server, duu GuttU IS lHdtS "u11S tuS pEOS' perity of the farmer ill such cases de, pends upon the price of the corn, the prosperity of those who move and han dle it is about the same whether the market is high or low. This is because, regardless of the price at which the corr is sold, the railroads charge virtually uniform rate for transportation. Inter esting just here may be the prices al which corn has been held for the past four years on Dec. 1, by which time the new crop is well in course of delivery In 1891 cash corn in New York wal worth 70 cents on that date; in 1892, 51 centsI in 1893, 454 cents; in 1894, 5s cents.
