in effect that goods coming directly into

As a Public Sneaker.

Woman's abilities as public speaker
seem to be suddenly discovered these
days by several surprised journalists.
Mr.. Dana, i'll recent editorial in the
New York Sun, says:
''We doubt whether there were in
any other winter as many speechmakers
and essay readers of what used to be
called the softer sex as there have
been the past winter. We think that as
many as 100 of them have favored the
New York public within the past three
months, discoursing upon science, lit
eratu1e, the drama, reform, philosophy,
the arts and other high themes. We
think that there are in this country
more women able to deliver such dis
courses than could be found in all the
other countries of the earth. A fair pro-
portion Of them are good scholars, rea-
soners and thinkers, full of useful wis
dom. 1t is pleasure to listen to a
speech, lecture or essay that is the pro-
duction of such woman American
women in these times are engaged in
all kinds Of business, and it is their
privilege, or indeed their right, to en-
gage in this kind How melodious Of
tentimes is the voice of a woman of
understanding"

Municipal Time at Glasgow.

One of the most interesting of Glas-
gov enterprises is what may be de-
scribed as municipal time for the entire
city. Some years ago the experiment
was tried of placing municipal clocks
in prominent positions all over Glasgow
and regulating them by synchroniza-
ton. The present scheme is much more
elaborate and is nothing less than the
establishment of system of standard
time, by means of electrically controlled
clocks, regulated every second from the
stellar clock at the observatory. A reg
ulating clock, directly controlled from
the observatory, has been placed in the
city chambers, and this in turn controls
three circuits of public clocks at vari-
GUS points in the city. In the meantime
only about dozen clocks have been
provided, but if the trial proves suc-
cessful the corporation intends to erect
from 200 to 800 18 inch dials, thus pro-
viding reliable system of standard
time for Ill parts of the city. This ex-
tension OF the circuit will involve the
laying of 6 miles of wire. 1t is hoped
also to include time keeping in private
houses. s.-Westminster Gazette.

Dress For the Growing Girl.

"The growing girl is perhaps the
hardest of all to cater to in the matter
of DRESS" writes Carolyn Merton in
Woman's Home Companion. "She is
neither the little girl nor the young
lady, and unless she has grown up tail
and willowy, with a certain style of her
own, she usually is inclined to have no
shape at all, with her waist line coming
dangerously near her armpits. The
slender girl may wear big plaids, checks
and heavy, rough effects, while her sis
ter, inclined to stoutness, must content
herself with stripes and plain, smooth
surface effects. 1t is much easier to
gown becomingly the slightly proper
toned girl than the stout one, and. par
adoxical as it may sound, the stout girl
has more need of fluffy effects in her
gown than her slim sister.
"While there seems to be very little
that is new and original i'll children's s
clothes, yet they keep the pace with
fashion and take on smart style quite
consistent with the age and season.
Skirts with straight, full breadths and
no cores at all are not quite SO popular
as they We're, but are still worn by very
small girls and are employed in making
up the new large plaids for older girls

A Woman Scientist.

Miss Jennie A. Estes had the honor
Of being the only woman who took an
active part in the fourth annual exhibi-
tion Of the New York Academy of Sci
ences, which recently closed. Miss Estes
came to the exhibition, out of pure love
of the cause, to assist Professor Dwight
in the exhibition Of a wonderful ma
chine invented by himself, called the
pitsonome. 1t is used for cutting very
thin rock sections for examination un
der the microscope. They can be cut as
thin as the l. 100 part of an inch and
are then mounted between two plates Of
glass.
Miss Estes was Professor Dwight's
pupil at Vassar college and did, he
says. particularly good work, much of
which was sent to the Chicago exposi-
tion. One of the labels which he had
on his exhibits read, "The two finest
specimens here were prepared by Miss
Jennie A. Estes of Brooklyn"
The only other feminine work at the
exhibition was collection of water
colors depicting the fora of Australia
and New Guinea by Mrs. Ellis Rowan.
Twenty gold medals have been awarded
to the artist at various places for these
drawings. New York Tribune.

very much used for gowns for girls of
all ages, and where the colors are quite
striking are relieved by trimmings of
black velvet ribbon or yoke and belt Of
plain cloth edged with braid. The fine
ly mixed, light weight wool goods make
good, serviceable spring dresses for ev-
eryday wear, and black braiding on
bands and yokes of some bright, plain
cloth is their usual trimming.
"The coming summer will see a
greater variety of wash dresses for girls
than we have had i'll a long time. Plain
white and colored pique, also figured
ones, will be much worn, and thin
white materials combined with bright
colored ribbons will be much affected
by the children and misses, with sheer
persian lawn as one of the most popular
on account of its wearing qualities. All
thin and washable skirts, when the
fabrics used are other than piques and
holland linen. are made with full,
straight breadth skirts, carrying the
fullness well to the back, where it is
gathered into the waistband
