Henry Cavendish. the famous chemist, had
such invcterate abhorrence of female So

Of the sex. he earned for himself the So
briQuet of the "Woman-hater. II is said
that he used to carry on communication
with his housekeeper respecting the daily
wants entirely by correspondence, and a
rigid rule was enacted In his establishment
that on no p~retenso whatever might a fc-
male venture into his presence.
Such women-haters are by no means rare.
A gentleman died recently in Vienna who
used to adopt extraordinary measures to
avoid contact with womankind. At tho
theater 1t was his practice to book three
seats and occupy the middle one, so that
a female should not by any possibility sit
next to him.

having n woman in the carriage, and he
invariably chose the road in walking for
the reason that he was least likely to ilud
a female there. The mans hatred Of the
sex was indeed carried so far that in his
mortal sickness he gave orders for the pur-
chase of six feet of ground on either side
Of his grave in order that in death a fe-
male body should not come within that dis

AS a contrast to this, it is refreshing to
tell of a man who, having been the greater
part of his life a bitter misogynist, re-
pented in his last hour of his unnatural
opinions and endeavored to retrieve tho
wrong he had done the sex by leaving the
whole of a large fortune to some well known
women's societies.
A supreme delight of the woman photog-

taken in travels. One fair enthusiast Is in

Scott for a theme.
From the achievements Of these active
women, it will be seen in how many ways
this varied and not too eXacting talent may
be used. IT may be a pleasure for idle hours
or an occupation to take the mind from more
engrossing cares. A woman may illustrate
books with it or she may cheer the sick
beds of hospitals. The magazines offer a
field for articles of travel, illustration by
amateur photographs, and these, If accepted,
do not go without good payments. There
are other ways in which money can be
gained by the camera. Albums containing
amateur views can often be sold for con
siderable sums. Another means is the max
ing of lantern slides.
