It was over thirty years ago that she
began t. wear in public the peculiar
dress which became known as that
"Bloomer Costume" and which
brought her good deal of ridicule,
not unkindly in its nature. 1t was a
period at which womah'S dress was

garb worn by the fair sex, especially as
regards tight lacing, the length of the
skirts, and the get-up of the bonnet or
hat. She never was able to induce
more than a very few women to wear
TIL Bloomer Costume, and the few
who adopted it soon gave it up, because
they could OF abide to be laughed at.
She herself was among the modest and

her sincere desire TO benefit woman.

ART OF REMEMBERING.
The Mind Is Like a Great Library
Each Volume in Its Place.


The Mind is Like a Great Library
Each Volume in Its Place.
A noted medical writer likens th'
brain t. a vast library, and each idei
or name, or Incident, to the volumes
composing it. The memory, he say'
acts as librarian and tucks away eact
volume in s3me peculiar niche of its
own. Now when we call on Librar-
ian memory for one of these volumes,
he usually knows were it is, and hands
it to US instantar; but occasionly he,
like other office holders, forgets his
duties. We call on him suddenly,
waking him from his nap, perhaps, and
he cannot remember where he put the
name Smith or Jones, or the little fact
regarding the tariff or Agamemnon's
wives, or something Or other. Scme-
times he finds it after moments
search, and sometimes not for days.
But he keeps up a still hunt for the
missing volume, even while you forget
all about it and some time when you.
are least expecting it, presto! there is
the very thing you we're trying to re-
member.
For instance, somebody asked the
writer of this paragraph the other day,
suddenly for the name of a lady and
hes daughter staying at one of the
beaches near Boston. The name was
a perfectly familiar one, being that OF
an acquaintance; but with the ques-
tion it suddenly vanished. 1t was i'm
possible TO answer. Librarian mem
ory was asked for it three or four
times during the evening, but it eluded
his efforts complet Ely, and for day OF
two the event was forgotten. Finally
