Ida May Spencer.

There lives in Edgerton, Wis. q
young woman, Ida May Spencer. who
is an expert jcweler. She is in partner
ship with her father. the sign reading.
John Spencer & Daughter. Jewellers
and Opticians.
Having determined to adopt the jewel
~ business rs profession, she entered
in the fall IL 1857 the Theological
school at La Porte, Ind. While there
she competed with some of the veterans
in the business for u prize, q gold med
al, to be given to the one turning the
best balance staff in the shortest time.
She Won the medal. Two of the judges
were from New York and one from Chi
cago. Her teacher told her that, in all
probability, if they had known she was
a woman they would not have awarded
her the prize. He also remarked that,
though fairly entitled to it, he feared it
would not be good advertisement for
the school. After learning the trade,
her coworkers feared she would not be
sex. However, the teachers, knowing
she was fully competent, gave her rec
concentrations. During the summer Of
1898 she studied to become an opticiaD,
attending lectures in Boston. This
branch she has found very profitable.
At the time Miss Spencer took up the
work there were probably not more
than half dozen women engaged i'll
the occupation. Woman s Journal.

It is said that the extempore playing
OF tho great Beethoven was marvellous,
but he was entirely without the GOODNESS
and self possession required by per-
former who wishes to render written
compositions with accuracy and finish.
The same fault was found with his
conducting the orchestra; even before
his deafness he often confused the play
ers by his sudden gestures.
At one time he was playing one Of his
own beautiful concertos for piano and
orchestra. During long passage by the

saw that women ought to- have equal
rights with men in educational and in

perceive clearly that they should enjoy
tho same political rights. / had the idea,

for women. and that going to the polls
was derugatory to womanly delicacy.
which was worthy to be protected even
by the sacrifice Of what was indisputa-

mo that under the pressure Of false So

men, essential woman delicacy and
worth were continually sacrificed, and
that nothing could avail To protect wom-
