one dreaded disease that science has
been able 10 cure in all its stages. and
that is Catarrh. HalPs Catarrh Cure is

The driver Of a oRe-horse vehicle
loaded with boxes halted on Gratiot
avenue and got down and stood off
few feet and looked earnestly at the
horse. -Four or five pedestrians came
to halt. and one Of them promptly
called out:

The four or five pedestrians grew to

as lie forced his way into the crowd.
"Hollar in his earl" shouted boy
who was up on balky horses.
''All you fellers git hold and push the
wagon !" commanded a citizen, who ap-
peared to be born leader of men.
The crowd grew to 50-60-100, and
the street was blocked. Men examined
the wheels Of the wagon, the feet of the
horse and the harness. The driver
stood there with lines and whip in
hand, but said nothing and made no
move until policeman forced his way
into the crowd ana excitedly asked:
Nov, then, what's all this about?
What's the matter here?"
"Nuthin', was the calm reply.
Horse sick?"
"Naw."
"Then why don't you go on?"
"I'm goin'."
And lie put his foot on the hub Of a

drove off at sharp trOt, and all the

this pretty gown is void of trimming,
but is cut very flare. 1t is quite notice

the waists are so profusely trimmed on
most Of this seasons dresses. The
waist here IS cut to point in the front
and finished by narrow band

The question whether it be possible
for women to attain the highest success
in the profession of medicine, or ii sne
is capable whether it might be right for
her TO divert her old lines OF labor ana
launch forth into new fields OF activity
are questions the answers to which have
been as varied as the types of humanity
answering them. Wise mon have shaken
their heads and timid ones have groaned
about consequences. Every variety of OBJ.
stacle and calamity conceivable have
presented themselves to the mag in alton
of those who insist that women have no
place outside Of the home. But while
people are prating about the matter the
professional woman herself quietly settles
the question by doing the thing which
they have proven she cannot do and
comes forward with the indisputable Gre
dentIals of her work which prove her
power and their fruits which prove her
right.

Hawthorne, Emerson and Bryant?
There is no standard. Too many of our
American writers are careless or ingorant
OF construction. If, as is ioretold. the
novel of the immediate future Is to be in
dialogue form, one can't help wishing
that English grammar might become
fashionable. that the least dm bitious of

tests TO such solecisms as Who did you

IN her recent book. The truth is that

lower levels of everyday poetry" and
magazine literature, who, indeed, rarely
read a book have no standard of COM

confronted by the fact that their literary

his best stories. Nor can Mrs. Burton
Harrison claim it. II is neither Silas

Possibly, however, the man for the

FROM THE FLOWERS STAND
POINT

Extract from paper read before the
Friday Morning club last May:
Human nature has not greatly changed
since the days when Copernicus aroused
such ina isnatiun by denying that our
earth is the center OF the universe, and
it is not strange that still, in the popu-
lar mid, man is the central figure for
whose welfare the rest of nature exists.
and hence the flowers excuse for being
is that it ministers to his aesthetic sense.
Botanists, recognizing the impartiality
of nature, should have regarded the plant
from the plants point of view, but so &C.
cupied have they been in dissecting or
classifying plants, and in wrapgling over
the unloyely names they impose upon
them, that up to the time Of Darwin
they quite missed the Significance of
flowers, the fact that their infinite variety
in form ana color, their nectar, fragrance
and beauty generally, exist because of
plants preference for GToss polarization.

TELL CHILDREN NATURE STORIES

OF all studies for the young that of
natural history should be the first to &C.

child, and he will turn away from his
dearest friend to follow with look oil step
the cat or dog which may chance to cross
his path. He adm equally the beau
tiful flowers and fruits. the birds and
butterflies.
In fact, the world of nature is always
source of Joy and amusement to every
child, and he should be early taught the
true relation he bears to the things of life
about him where there is.ever the object
lesson to illustrate and impress. 1t IS
easy enough to interest him in the pecu-
liar habits of the ant, or the bee, and far
better for him, in every way, than to fill
his young mind with idle fancies about
ellis and fairies. Let him know all that
is possible about the world OF plants and
animals; there will be still enough I'M
explained TO engage his youthful imagi-
nation.
The mysteries of nature furnish more
food for fancy than all the uncanny
! stories contained in all the fairy books
ever written.
the fables especially popular with our
little ones are those that give power of
speech to animals, and they care less for
what men really say than for what ami
mails are supposed to say. 1t is natural
and best, therefore, they should make
these beloved creatures thsir first study

one OF the best yet given by the society.
Prof. Krauss' orc hcstra was strength hened
to seven pieces, and the instrumental
selections were loudly applauded. When

voices, which is filed with pure melody.
The concert was brought to close by
the members Of the society singing o
