coast early in the '7Os the phenomenal
growth OF The kindergarten work in the
West ana throughout the country owes its
impetus, ana largely TO Mrs. Cooper, who has
all these years been inspiring directing
force in the work.
The now famous Golden Gate Kinder
garten Association, OF which Mrs. Cooper
is the president originated in this pioneer
work, and this association now has over
43 ktndergartens, with an enrolment OF
over 1000 children. More than 10000
children have had their early training in
these schools, and of this great army it is
said that only one was ever arrested for
any offenSe. although many of them came
from he crime-infested districts OF San
Francisco.
OF these kindergartens eighteen are per-
nanentiy endowed, and there are sixteen
memorial kindergartens. Mrs. Cooper's
influence has been potent in the matter of
finances. over half a million dollars have
been given her to assist in carrying ON her
work and she has associated with her num-
Der of women who are miliionaires in their
own rightand who give royalty TO the work.
Mrs. Leland Stanford supports five kinder
gartens; Mrs. George Hearst, three; Mrs.
Charles Lux, two; Mrs. Cyrus Walker, Mrs.
Pope, Mrs. Norris ana Mrs. Hart, one each.
1t is no, amiSs to mention here that
Mrs Cooper has never received one cent
OF salary; religious, phiiantbropic and edu-
cationai work are her life, and 10 these
ends she has consecrated all her talents.
Besides this work, Mrs. Cooper was an
active agent in organizing the associated
charities OF San Francisco; also the Wo-
mans Press Club and the Century Club
OF the same city; She is the treasurer of
the general federation OF Woman's Club,
and is at the head of the San Francisco
Free Normal Training School. AS
speaker Mrs. Cooper is most delightful,
as all those who have heard her at the
Worlds Fair, before Chautauqua assem-
blies, woman's clubs, great religious gath
erings and various meetings in the public
interest, know full well.

first TO develop a corps of trained women

as successfully as men deal with them at
other obseryatories When became head

one assistant at the end OF one month and
at the end of the year / had five Now
there are twelve The women assistants
are not engag ged during the night at the
telescopes, but find their time during the
day sufficiently occupied in examining and
discussing the photographs and the various
computation therein involved Catalogues
OF the plates taken have to be kept up TO
date, the plates compared with the charts
OF the part Of the sky which they are sup
posed 10 represent, in order TO check the
correctness OF the record made by the
observer, and to ascertain that the region
intended is contained on the plate. The
chart plates are then filed carefully away
and are used in the confirmation of vari-
able stars or other interesting researches.
By this method you have ready TO your
hand and for immediate uSe the material
for which visual observer might have TO
wait for years and certainly for months.

You see the attractive place we have to
work in and its charming outlook. The
work is clean and delightful, and the
women enjoy a great sense of liberty, as
much of the work can be done at home.

for twenty-five cents an hour and average
OF about six hours day. AS they ad-

SPRING SALADS.

a S the spring approaches flowers and
fruits make their appearance and with
them can be compounded the most de-
lcious OF salads. These flowers and fruit
courses are so delicate in taste and so
appetitizing in flavor that many times
at an informal function they take the place
of dessert. They are decorative bits for
the table. The French are capital salad
makers and during the flower season one
OF their best courses for either luncheon
or dinner is the

over each little chopped chivies. Around

into the center of the DO wi, beneath the
potatoes and tomatoes. Pour over the

There are in this room in which we

There are two ways of photographing
Stars-one for the purpose of making
charts. and the other for photogra phing
the spectra of the stars, and it is about this
latter work at Harvard that / want par
ticularly to talk to YOU. 1t is supported
entirely by woman, Mrs Anna Palmer
Draper OF New York in honor OF her hus-
band. DR.. Henry Draper. who was the first
TO successfully photograph stellar spectra.
DR.. Draper literally never went into the
observatory alone. His wife always as
sisted him in his observations andemade all
his records. In those days this was a very
iahOrouS task owing TO the incompleteneSs
and imperfections of the apparatus, and
often involved working very late into the
night: so that when in 1882 DR.. Draper
died after a hTief illness, Mrs. Draper suS-
tanned the double loss Of beloved compan-
ion and the work to which she had long de-
voted her nohlest energies. Instead Of
building an observatory as q monument to
her husbands memory, Mrs. Draper de-
cded to give SO 900 n year to the Har-
ward observatory for the purpose of carry

marked examples know OF wifc's active
interest in her husbands profession. Al
though Mrs. Draper has done no actual
work in astronomy since her husbands
death, she often comes over from her New

latest researches here.
Before leaving you / want to say that
my assistants here are all women, and
that three-fourths of all the stars Of the
fifth type that are known (about 90 in
alll have been discovered in the Harvard
observatory by Mrs. Nina Fleming, and
what is rather curious there has not been
a single one found by any one else for the
last eight years. so that she has prac-
tically had monopoly of the fifth type
star. This rather goes to show that be-
fare that time astronomers had reached
the limit of what could be discovered by the
eye. Mrs. Fleming has developed remark
able skill in the greatest results possible
out OF the photographs, particularly in
studying the spectra Of stars. She has
also discovered four out of the five new
stars, Novae, that have been discovered in
the last four years. And now may pre-

woman's department here?'

WISE NOMEN MARRY LATE.

IT Asst year sos women visited the uni
L. versities, of whom thirty.four left
them as fully trained doctors, and
about dozen respectively as lawyers,
preachers ana journalists. OF the above
l,SO5 female students 2S.2 per cent have
married. American women, however, do
not, as rule, marry till they have COM
pleied their twentieth year, and OF these
1,SO6 as many as S67 were stin under
twenty years. or women who hold
diplomas as doctors, between twenty-five
and thirty years, only 81 per cent marryi
ofthose thirty and thirty five years.
the percentage OF those who marry has
risen TO 43.7 per cent; OF those between
thirty'five and forty, to 40 per cent; and
or those above forty years, to 54.5 per
cent. From this il becomes evident that
women who have frequented universities,
at leastIn America, marry much later than
others. IL is perhaps a natural result OF
this circumstance that divorces are vir-
tually n thing unkno wn among these late
marrying woH n students.

DEATH OF MISS ADA HUDSON.


Pollocksville, y. c., Jsly 14.-(Spe
over the entire community last Sunday
morning when the news was circulated
that Miss Ada Hudson, of this place,
had died of hemorrhagic fever at IL
O'Clock the night before, in Trenton,
where she was visiting Mr.. J. r. Brog-
denis family.
She had been slightly unwell for sew
eral days, though her illness was not
such as to excite fear. But Thursday
morning last she suddenly grew worse,
and the best medical attention could
avail nothing against the ravages of
the disease. which eliminated in her
untimely death.
When a person of beautiful charac-
ter and sweet disposition passes from
among US, it is but fitting that we
should give expression to the respect
and esteem of friends and 'acquaint-
ances.
After attending the schools in Pol
louisville, her home, Miss Ada went
in the fall of 1898, to Greensboro Fe-
male College, entering the Junior class.
Although she was kept from her stud
les during the months of illness, she
passed successfully the examinations
at the close of the year. The next
fall. that of 1894, she entered the senior
class at Peace Institute, Raleigh, n. G..
+ remaining until Christmas. when she
returned to her home TO assist her
mother in her official duties as post
mistress. She served in this capaclty
| from time to time until her death, M
| tending to return to Peace Institute al
| the beginning of next session for the
| purpose of completing her course. In
| the discharge of her duties as assistant

| was eighteen years of age at the time

/ The funeral services were conducted

yesterday, by Rev. DR.. A, ID. Belts, OF
