is wise beyond the point where men expect
roses to flourish under the same treatment as

which. by minute individual study, they have

CHICAGO AS AN EDUCATIONAL
CENTER FOR WOMEN,

The University of Chicago with its great
money endowments, Its splendid equipments of
special buildings for the natural sciences, its
facilities for postgraduate work, Its equal OPP
portunities for men and women, has drawn the
attention of the entire country away from the
far East as the educational Mecca of students
and bids fair to change the educational center
of the United States from New England to the
southern shore of Lake Michigan. The single
fact that this great university in its inclpiency
provided three commodious and finely-equipped
buildings for the accommodation of Its women
students shows the Importance it attaches to
their higher education and sets standard for
their intellectual development shch as no other
city In the United States can boast. 1t has
long been known to well-informed people that
the standard of intellectual culture among wo-
men in Chicago has for many years been the
highest, and while it has been we'll said that
comparisons are odious. yet 1t is true tt at as
long ago as the meeting of the Woman's Con-
gress in 1882, when the Chicago Woman's Club
entertained that highly cultured and dignifed

When the spinning-wheel and the loom went
from cottage to factory. there began a world
revolution not equaled by any overturning of an
old order which civilization has witnessed.
When cloth was no longer spun and woven and
bleached and fashioned by home skill, but came
from factories and called for price instead of
for effort at first hand; when baking and brew
ing and churning became great separate in

a score of other tasks which had once filled

the threshold of great new era compared to
which those were important times when slaves
were turned loose into the condition of self
dependent freemen. and the vast armies were
disbanded after having forgot all the crafts but
the craft of war. History took ON a new turn
in this revolution, or evolution, to which almost
no other can compare. The hands and hearts
and minds of millions of women, born and yet
TO be born, stood ready for new occupations in
large degree, and some of the gravest questions
this old world has propOunded stared In the
faces of both men and women then nor have
they ceased their insistenee nor their gravity
even now.
In what may women engage to do best Justice

are told that there are over 1900 occupations

general aspect of the world to-day toward a

Rev. Mr.. Guthrie, while in Muncie,
where he went to officiate at a wedding
last week, was taken very sick and for
little while fear of the outcome was en-

we are glad to write, and was able to fill
his pulpit at the Central Universalist

however, was an excursion nine miles up

A Greek fisherman recently decided
to branch out a little in a business way,
so opened q small saloon on the water
front. He bought a barrel of whisky
from a local dealer, paying 10 per cent
down, and agreed to pay the balance
when the whisky was delivered. He
failed to keep his agreement and the
dealer commenced planning some way
to get his whisky OF the money. Every
time he called on tho fisherman no saw
tho barrel lying in tho saloon, and no
wanted il.
Finally tho dealer commenced suit
and attached tho liquor. The saloon
man pleaded poverty, hard times and
everything clse, but his creditor was OBJ
durato. An egreement was reached aft
on much that the dealer should
take tho whisky back, ksep the 10 per
cent that had been paid and give the
saloon keeper a receipt in full and dis
miss the suit.
The saloon ldaper shed tears az he saw
the barrel Of whisky carried of end de-
clared he was q ruined man, but he did
not close his saloon. Tho shrewd dealer
found that tho whisky had been drawn
from the barrel and water substituted.
