New York. The place is tastefully and comfortably furnished with tables, chairs, bookcases and some gymnastic apparatus. There are water color pio- lures on the walls, handsome rugs on the floors and oozy corners fitted up with divans and cushions. The older boys though all are under 16 years of ago. are daily adding other comforts and at fractions and spare no efforts to keep the smaller lads off the street as far as pos sible.
 Numbers of boys who do not belong to this club have become deeply inter- ested in it's methods and have begun the formation of similar clubs elsewhere Their plan is to create series of them throughout the tenement district in which the idea originated, these various societies to be associated somewhat after the manner of the chapters of 0 college fraternity.
 Each club must be strictly self sup porting, but as tho members are not overburdened with cash care will be taken to keep the dues down to a very low figure
 David Willard, the president of the Eldridge street club, says Every boy who works for his living is anxious to elevate himself if opportunity is afford cd him. Many poor boys, reared in crowded tenements amid all the sordid surroundings of the slums, have had their natural inspirations toward better things suppressed by brutal CT ignorant parents To these the club idea appeals strongly, and they enter with eagerness into all plans for rational amusement and recreation. This kind of association will serve to develop their minds, ele- vate their morals and strengthen their characters and will do much to fit them for useful citizenship.
 Certainly this is an experiment. the developments and outcome of which phi lanthropists must watch with keen in terest

Trimming nIother,s TInt.

Trimming a bonnet for an elderly lady is perhaps the most difficult task encountered by the home milliner. It isn't like hat for young person, which may often be trimmed to look pretty without regard for Dame Fash ions ediets It must be trimmed exactly in accordance with the laws laid down for the season.
 At present bonrets for elderly ladies are rather large and cover almost the entire top of the head Considerable leniency is allowed regarding colors, and women with gray hair may now wear purple, green and even red.
 The bonnet may have crown of silk and felt braided or one of embroidered velvet. Jet crowns also appear on some, but that material is not particularly fashionable this year.
 The crowns are plaited in softly, giv- ing very full effect The brims also are very full, of velvet usually. They extend down behind the ears and are finished with choux of velvet or ribbon at each end. From beneath them fall narrow velvet strings, which tie in q bow under the cha.
 The bonnet is now ready for the trim ming, which should consist of ribbon, velvet, velvet blossoms or ostrich feath- CTS. All the trimming on bonnet is flat. with the exception of one feature, which may be bunch of Prince of Wales plumes, upstanding rabbits ears of velvet or ribbon, and is placed on one side of the front or directly in the center of the crown. Velvet flowers may form the entire brim, or small cluster may be crushed close to the bonnet on one side.
 When Q jet crown is used, the bonnet may be further enhanced by the addi- tion of 2 jet buekle. New York Adver- tiger.

Who Paxa the TaxesY

At the last meeting of tho Political Equality club of Lewiston, Pa. the fol lowing statement was made: The tax payers ara in the east ward, 127 men and 103 women; in the west ward, 137 men and 89 women; in tho south ward, 46 men and 18 women; whole number of men paying tax, BIO; whole number of women paying tax. s06. The number of women paying tax in the borough is almost two-thirds the number of men, yet they gre not supposed or expected to know how this money is expended and have no voice as to how isshall Do used. Ia this taxation by representation?
 This town was anca my home. Miss Hay and Misa Yates organized this Lew iston club. rejoice to see that it four ishes and that it's members can make ous so strong a case. Their taxation argu- ment is certainly good one. Laura M. Johns in Boston Woman's Journal.

 DraA Tn Favor.

Drab is ono of tho season s favored oolors. The French call 1t winter sky" but thia fs- teo. poetic title for it's un- compromising dull, metallic tone. It is not like soft nuns gray, swallow gray. silver. dove, lawn or anything as deli cate and dainty. Drab isnota a becoming color on its own merits. We associate it with the coats and gowns of the Quakers. when far stricter in sectarian and dress matters than they are now, and with the old Puritan drivers of ths defunct stageooach, with their many capped, long, drab coats. But French modiste oan easily make gown of beauty out of even drsb oloth. She oon,- pines it with black and Danish or Span- ish or British red 50 artiatically and deftly that the dowdy dress of drab be- comes in the hands of this sartorial pres tidigitator triumphant success. Set it against, for example, one of the brick red gowns of cloth, with black and white vest and brick red velvet toque en suite, and rivalry there is none be- tween the two. The one is vulgar and proyokingly aggressive, the other sufii oiently smart aud eminently attractive, but quiet withal. Another fancy of the Frenchwoman combines the drab ma terial, with cream cloth accessories braided in gold or atriped with the mar rowest lines of red and gold braid laid side by side. New York Post.

Two woriemen.

The following story from Wide Awake IS not new, but it's truth is vouched for, and it's lesson is so clearly taught and so important that it is worth repeating:
 Two men once stood at the same table in large factory in Philadelphia Hav- ing an hour for their incoming every day, each undertook to use it in accomplish ing definite purpose; each persevered for about the same number of months. and each won success at last.
 One used his daily leisure hour i'll working out the invention of machine for saving Q block of wood into almost any desired shape. When his invention was complete, he sold tho patent for a fortune.
 The other man, what did he do? Well, he spent an hour each day during most of the year in the very difficult task of teaching little dog to stand on it's hind feet and dance a jig. To be sure he succeeded, but what then? At last accounts he was working ten hours a day at the same trade and at his old wages, blaming his luck for the hard fate that kept him poor, while his fel- tow workman iiaCi become rich.

Women and Religious Work.

The Protestant deaconesa institutions in Germany have paved the way for an independent position and suitable work for unmarried women. The black dress with the white cape gives her safe en- try into all houses. and we cannot but regret that the number of ladies is not larger who sesk this useful occupation. But it has also given a general impulse to the work of women in all the branches of home missions. A...ss
 This brings us to anotHef poin.--the position of women in religious work Women pastors and preachers are recog- nized in America as an order already existing. In Germany we are only in the beginning, but this beginning is made. The speaking of women in public was formerly rendered quite impossible. At first it was allowed in smaller circles of women. Now lady, Mrs. Guauck. who is one of the German representa- tiyes of tho rights of women, was re- quested to give an address as the evan. gelical social ocngress at Erfurt iast year, and she met with universal ap- plause. We begin to hear now that women may make public addresses without losing that truo delicacy which we should not care to miss. In our prayer meetings women begin to take an active part We even find that these meetings only become more lively and interesting when women join in the exercises. Count BernstorR in Exam iuer

 Womap's Emancipation.

WOman's emancipation was for many years sentimental vagary. Now it is an accomplished fact This is not so much due to advanced ideas as to tho labor saving inventions of the age, mest of which have emanated from the erea- tive brain of men
 Our grandmothers planted their own flax, spun their own thread, wove their own cloth and shaped their own gar ments. Before the days of sewing ma chimes they stitched unceasingly, and to know how to sew was a necessity rather than an accomplishment Now the whiz of the treadle is heard in ev- cry home, and the busy seamstress ac- oomplishes ill day what she could not have done ill month.
 Wringers, patent soaps and stationary tubs have released the aching arms of the laundress from the drudgery of washing. The housemaid lightly runs her sweeper oyer the carpet and disdains to handle the honest broom. The cook turns up her nose at the homely kitchen range and boils and bakes by gas or eleo- trioity. The dairymaid' S occupation is gone, as the cream IS separated and the butter ohurned by machinery. The busy housekeeper need no longer put up her fruit and pickles as that is done at the factory.
 In fact. in this mechanical age human hands seem almost superfuous and the labor saving devices so numerous that women are no longer bound. like Ixion, to the wheel of household drudgery.
 The once busy housekeeper, released from the thraldom of baking, sweeping and washing, has leisure to keep herself posted about current events. the newest book and the latest fad in art, music or fashion. The old regime has passed away, and women, no longer hampered by household cares, stand forth the peers of their husbands and brothers in edu- cation and enlightenment -Godey's Magazine.

The Rielts of Wido,gs.

Mrs. Rudolph Blankenburg of Phila- delphia has been recently elected presi- dent of the Pennsylvania Woman Suf- fragist association. She has drawn up a bill which will be presented to the leg islature in favor of the rights of widows. As the law is now, the widow may re- oeiye only one third of the joint prop erty of her husband and herself and the income of only one-third of the real es- tate for life-that is, provided the bus. band has made no will. If the wife owns property and fails to make a will, the husband is entitled to all the per- sonal property and the use of all the real estate during his life.

La Grande Franoaise.

Of Mme. Furtado Heine, known as La Grande Franchise, who died recently, the London Globe says: aShe was the widow of M. Charles Heine, the mil lionaire and cousin of the famous Ger man poet. During the empire Mime. Heine was a leading figure in Parisian society, but in latter years she seems to have derived more pleasure in utilizing her wealth in alleyiatiBg the sufferings of the afflicted rather than in attending the gatherings of fashionable Paris To her belongs the credit of having estab- lished several blind asylums and orphan ages When a disaster occurred and funds were needed, she was always to the fore with large subscription. .

their home picturesque spot on the heights at Queenston overlooking the Niagara river, Here Miss Woods child hood was spent, and no doubt the splen- did natural environment among which she was reared played no small part i'll forming the future writer. Her eduea- tion was received at the St. Catharines Collegiate institute, school which in its 69 years of existence has trained scores of those who are now Canada s best known men and women.
 To write was Miss Wood s ambition from her earliest years, and very thor ough has been her preparation for her chosen work-so thorough that it was only after much study and hard reading that she thought of giving her writings to the public. For a long time they were shown only to her elder brother, who had been her constant critic In fact, it is 10 him that Miss Wood ascribes her subsequent success, for in spite of his severity with her literary faults it is to him that she owes all her stimulus and inspiration. But life, even more than books, she has studied in Q most systematic way.
 Frequent trips to Europe have formed part of her training, while each winter she takes up her residence in some oen- ter of social or literary life. Sometimes she has chosen New York, oftener Bos- ton, and this winter Philadelphia is her temporary home. Her literary work and study are varied by numbers of social duties, for Miss Wood has hosts of friends. Last winter she did no writing, but threw herself heartily into the so- oial life of that gayest of cities, Paris, chiefly for the purpose of bringing her. self more in touch with French litera- ture through a better knowledge of the people. In London, too, she had every opportunity of seeing the best of English life, while the purpose of her last visit to Scotland was to collect material for a story of the mining district.
 Miss Wood has always been strong opponent of the tradition that writing women must be dowdy and severe look ing. She frankly confesses a fondness for smart gowns, dainty surroundings and all feminine frivolities. Though she has advanced most unconventional the ories in her writings, yet she is by no means new woman in any of the pop ular aeceptations of the term. She has no desire to vote, is not an upholder of the rational dress movement and has even declared that she will never ride a bicycle.
 As a disciple of the realistic school Miss Wood has no sympathy with the righteousness that condemns the erring while putting forth no hand to help. Writers, above all others, she holds, must be tolerant and charitable. Illib- era1 consciousness should be no part of those who must live near to humanity before they can interpret it aright.- Honora S. Howard in Buffalo Express.

Reading Women Mean Business.

The Reading Mass. Chronicle does justice to the earnest work of the women of that town. It says:
 The ladies of Reading will never rest contented until their sex is represented on the municipal boards of the town. They will keep everlashngly at it until their aim is accomplished.
 Last year they put forward Mrs. Ellen M Bancroft as 3 candidate for posi- tion on the school board and Mrs. Ger trude K. Hussey as a trustee of the pub lie library. They failed of election by small margin of votes. These ladies were again indorsed at meeting at Mrs. William Carter's Thursday after noon.
 The ladies are even more aggressive this year than last and will probably suggest candidate from among their number for the overseers of the poor.
 This departure is probably due to the agitation that was oceasioned by the discussion in The Chronicle regarding the conduct of affairs at the town farm. For some time past, if not always, the selectmen have been also elected to serve as a board of health There are many reasons why this should continue to be so. The two boards have very much in common in 3 financial and executive way, and it might be unwise to divorce them
 The Chronicle concludes with a sug- gestion for the election or appointment of an advisory board of women whose duty if ..,e,., Ia l,sssfc l..sls.isI

 On and after February 1st the Tax Books will remain open in my office each.
