WOMAN ANO PROGRESS.

Woman has been playing an important
part in the mechanical and industrial pro-
gress of the last five years. Ii is not that
she has gone forth from the home in
which, by nature and custom. she is best
fitted to display her work and her
charms, but that, by Oppos ing oldf4 shion-
ed devices, she has put inventors on their
mettle, so to speak, and has excited their
efforts to keep machinery in pace with
her needs.
There are numerous examples of this
at the fair that is holding in Boston. All
sorts of utensils have been constructed
for the comfort and convenience of
woman. Here is one of the most inter
esting and valuable features of modern
exhibitions. Nor. unlike the rank and file
of men, does she lack appreciation of
what has been done in her behalf.
Hence her steady patronage of the
novelties of mechanics and her keen in
terest in all manner of benehcent work.
AS a rule thoughtful and unselfish. she is
quick to tighten burdens, to provide new
delights and to applaud new ideas.
Relieved, to happy extent, of the
struggles of the world, she wisely spends
part of her time in watching the pro-
gress of the industries that affect the
home. 1t is to her most often that the
inventor dedicates his work, for she can
make of mar his success. Enthusiastic
in her eagerness, now and then she ill
nocently promotes cheap or worthless
schemes, but before long her saving
common sense intervenes, and the catch
penny thing disappears.
1t is no wonder, then, that the manage
ment of exhibitions appeals largely to

HOW TO GET SOCIETY IN TUNE.

1t is fervently to be hoped that no per-
sons whose dispositions render them
liable to tiffs and quarrels will overlook
the important discovery of Mr.. Kelley of
Philadelphia, who has ascertained that
each individual has a certain key or tone
which must harmonic with the keys
surrounding him to insure his peace and
happiness. Mr.. Keeley's theory has
been Endorsed by Chicago musician,
who declares not only that human beings
are individuaized by their voices, but
that one can tell each persons nature by
ascertaining his particular key. A man
who is pitched in c. for instance, is ami
able, aud a man in d is also CHEEKY. But
person keyed up to A is fretful and
one in B is timid.
Obviously, a general study of this
system ought to relieve the world of in
finite painful discord The advantages
to people contemplating marriage are
PLAIN. No man in his senses knowing
that young woman was pitched in A,
say, or G would dream of uniting with
her until she remedied the matter by
having herself tuned up to pleasanter
key. Advertisements reading. WANTED
"A servant in B, to harmonize with a
family in F sharp" would do much to
insure pleasant relations in the home.
A guest invited to visit family in Z
fiat would not intrude himself if he but
knew that his own key was G natural.
Simply by having the guests at social
functions wear their keys embossed upon
their shirt bosoms it would be possible
for all to pair of comfortably and enjoy
cOngenial company. g..
How much suffering in the past has
been borne for lack of a few simple facts
| like these can never be cOniectured.
Society has been one prolonged discord
from the beginning of things. Wagner
probably took his musical themes simply
from listening to the vast human family
as it wandered along haphazard in all
sorts of discordant keys. All that is
really needed is that people get them
selves tuned to the right pitch and try
to mOdulate from time to time to the
keys most In favor among their neigh
bors-Chicago Record.

Wonder. of the KIondlI,e Regtons.

Wonderful are the tales of travellers,
and the proof is generally ready for
purposes of substantiation, if their
truth is called in question. The Youth
Companion says that a tourist who
had returned from trip to Seattle and
Tacoma was describing to his Eastern
friends the glories of that region, its
marvellous climate and the rapid
strides its people are making in the
arts and sciences of civilization.
81 tell you" he said, they are away
ahead of you people here. Even the ami
mails are more sprightly and have more
goaheadativeness about them than the
animals in this part of the country"
81 have heard" said a sarcastic lis
tener, with a wink at the others, that
the fish out there can sing"
"Well, they do have a kind of Puget
Sound about them," rejoined the trav-
eller.
