Woman and the Naturalist.

To study woman from geological standpoint may seem distasteful, as lacking in sentiment, but it is probably the only rational method. Dr. W. K. Brooks of the Johns Hopkins university discusses the conditions of the woman in the past:
 Primitive man was no doubt an ugly, ferocious brute, but there is evidence that primitive woman admired his fe- rooity and was quite ready to abandon him and follow a more feroeious brute with resignation and even with exulta- tion. If the woman of the heroic age was in constant danger of lifelong slav- cry under coYetous and ablebodied neighbors, her menfolk were, according to the Odyssey, in no less danger of furnishing a bloody meal for dogs. Any delicate and refined woman of today would find the common life of woman of the dark ages unendurable. The women of the dark ages were not over refined, MOT, for that matter, were those in the time of geod Queen Bess, and the life of either of those periods would be misery and wretchedness to the men of the nineteenth century as we'll as to the women.
 These who talk of the subjection of woman to man's dominion, and her emancipation from his tyranny, forget that during historical times the whole human race has improved in the virtues of self restraint and humanity, and that, even if there has as yet been no material progress in disinterestedness, selfshness has unquestionably become more enlightened and broad minded h. stead of being something wrested from hard hearted man, the improvement of the condition of woman is only one as- pect of thzt progress which benefits all --the young, the mature, the aged women and men alike. Man has not de- liberately worked out his destiny He has been shaped and controlled by infu- enoes of which he has been for the most part totally ignorant-infuences which are purely natural, shining like the sun on the evil and the good, and descend. ing likerai on the just and the unjust and woman. like man, has had her part in the whole history of our race.

ClocI.s With Nerves.

There is one disadvantage about very tall buildings which is being noticed by the occupants. It is perhaps small disadvantage, but still is worth consid ering, as it involves some annoyance to those who have not made provision for it.
 The trouble referred to is the stop ping of pendulum clocks by the vibra tion of the buildings. Many pendulum clock that has kept accurate time for years in old fashioned low structures has refused to run at all when moved into some one of the new tall steel framed buildings in the lower part of the city. On the lower floors of the buildings the clocks run fairly well, but when higher up in the buildings they become more whimsical and on the top floors will not run at all.-New York Times

New Gowns From Old ones.

It is always good news to the great army of women who like to dress we'll on small incomes that they may re- model, freshen up and rearrange their last year costumes at a very small cost.
 To begin with. the skirt of last yesr does over beautifully to accord with the new fashions. Remove the braid and facing and rip the seams nearly to the bolt, then cut off the bias sides of the front breadth until the ripple effect is removed, and the skirt will hang quite plain and smooth across the front, Treat the side gores i'll the same way, haste the outside and lining together with the utmost care and sew up the seams again. It is very good plan to haste outside and lining very carefully and with fine stitches before the seams are ripped. This saves q great deal of work and bother later on i'll the course of remodeling it. Put on the facing without much stiffenin2 and bind with velxeteea after the usual manner.
 The waist proper needs very little change. If 1t is as plain as most of laet season waists were, add little hano- some garniture or great deal that is less costly. A large amount of extreme Iy expensive trimming is inappropriate, except for really elegant dresses, Sleeves, if they have neither padding, stiffening nor any extreme feature, may be left as they are, with the addi- ton of a deep cap or cape shaped frill falling over the tops. A velvet collar, belt, reyers and caffs from wrists to el- bows will go far toward making an old fashioned dress attractive.
 The use of fur is running to an ex- treme. While it is eminently appropri- ate in combination with velvet, cloth or indeed any heavy material, it is in- eengruous and out of place when mixed up with chiffon, lace and tulle.
 Of course, fashion tolerates it, but in all matters of this sort good sense should rale, and it certainly is not good sense to unite such extreme fabrics in single garment.-New York Ledger.

GARlsH BOOK BINDINGS.
They Are h. Bad Taste and Are Disliked
 by fsookworn and Scholar.

oS 1SuohWofn ana Schoiar.
 Books have right to be, first of all, books, not purveyors of whimsies in color and design. As matters are at this momspt three-quarters of the new books look more like some strange en- tree at feast than like everyday edi- bles. You take up one, and it has the air of a curious ragout; there are un- known fragments of design floating in a sauce of queer elemental color The next one has an air as honest as apple sauce at first glance; 'tis pale greenish thing, but presently you see that the trail of serpent is over all it's border. And who can hope for content from dish thus garnished?
 Again a book, and this one burns bright red and yellow, like a pudding on fire with oognae, which is all very we'll for pudding. Another has cover which looks like q resisting beefsteak pounded by the stern hand of fate in a boarding house; another reminds you irresistibly of coffee wherein ohiokory has too much inserted it's diluting aid and cream is missing. But, first and 1Se9e1 eA4O I0M OOQAE AI5 CNOI I1OI6 p1OllO to resemble small plots of deceptive stage yerdure than honest, simple souled books. It is impossible to help doubt ing the value of the literary pasturage to be found i'll such inclosures. Fortu- nately one is sometimes most joyously deceived. Authors have little "say' concerning the garb of their volumes, and often-good luck to them-they rise superior to the mechanical makers of books and rejoice the souls of their readers in spite of the bindings.
 And it must be repeated that in the l present bizarre and excessive faneies ill binding there is seed of abounding hope for the future. Publishers are gropina for something; few of them know what. But they will learn. and the world will be made glad by genuine revival ill the lovely old half forgotten craft oi bookbinding. In that happy coming day there will be great honor for the meI who lead the taste of this country to- ward better things in bookbinding, sim pier and saner and more sincere. .-Bos ton Transcript.
