As Things Usod to BE.

1t is not so long since woman was
preached to as if she We're child, and
must be constantly reminded of hel
duties, lest she should step outside of
the narrow circle known as "woman's
sphere" Jane Austin, out of defer
ence to the views of her relatives,
concealed her writings from the gaze
of chance visitors by laying a hand
kerchief over the pages of her manu-
script. Mrs. Somerville WAS en-
treated not to bring disgrace upon her
family by persisting in her studies of
mathematics; even the clergy was dis
quieted, and she5was condemned from
the pulpit. Caroline Herschel's glo-
rious work in astr, 4,,ny was done
amid disenrraGamelts--and there. is
social prejudice. But how thoroughly
womanly the most gifted women ever
are! Professor Maria Mitchell left
the most delightful memories to her
pupils, and many student endured
the mathematical work of astronomy
for tie sake of the professors person
ality. One of these pupils said that
she had forgotten NIL she ever learned
about the sun, moon and stars, but
she never could forget the gatherings
where Miss Mitchell was the hostess,
and she should always remember the
bouquets and souvenirs at every plate,
and the poetry, in that print-like
handwriting, made for every one Of
her girls.-New York Tribune.

How a Porcupino Fights a Snake.

"Several years ago I was an in.
terested spectator at a combat between
a hedgehog and huge blacksnake,"
said W. d. Ingraham, of Memphis.
II came upon the scene just as the
hedgehog began the attack upon the
snake, which was lying stretched out
on the road asleep. The hog advanced
cautiously upon thereptile and seized
few feet, and, rolling himself into .
compact, spiny ball, awaited develop;
ments. The snake, upon being thus
rudely awakened, turned in fury upon
it's antagonist, striking the hog again
and again with its fangs. The willy
hedgehog, securely intrenched within
it's spiny armor remained perfectly
motionless, all the while, allowing the
snake to keep up the attack. At every
stroke the jaws of the SNAKE would
become filled with the spines, until,
at last, exhausted and bleeding from
dozens of wounds caused by the needle
like spincs of the hog, the snake gave
up the battle. This was evidently
what the hedgehog was waiting for, as
he Immediately proceeded to roll over
the snake again and again until he
had completely disembowelled his vic

has with her her collection Of over

The flag is most symbolic. The
ground is white, representing peace,
purity and innocence; in the upper
corner is blue square, the color of
the unclouded sky, emblematic Of
heaven, the home of the Christian, also
a symbol of faith and trust. In the
centre of the blue is the cross, the en-
sign and chosen symbol of Christianity;
the cross is red, typical of .Christ's
blood. Every sect of Christ's follow
ers can indorse the flag, and it is
equally applicable to all nations. 1t
stands for no creed or denomination.

O,,o,s Little KINDERGARTEN,

Few people know that the original
seed of the kindergarten movement in
the United States was sown in Ohio.
The sower was no less an authority
than a woman personally associated
with Froebel in much of his tentative
work at Kielbaw. This woman opened
the first practical working kinder
rarten school in America at Colum-
bus, Ohio, in 1858. Her name was
Caroline Louisa Frankenberg, ma
tive of Hanover, " rmany. The hum
BILE one-story frame house in which
this quaint spinster set up her house
hold gods and labored to inculcate in
the capitals infant prodigy the theo.
ries of the master, Froebel, is still
standing.
Miss Frankenberg made her first
visit to Ohio in 1888, but thinking the
time was not ripe for the project, she
returned to Kielhaw in 1910, where
she taught six years under Froebel's
direction; then Dresden and Skeptzen
shared her labors for eleven years,
when she again set sail for America
and established the kindergarten at
Columbus.
1t was with the greatest difficulty
Miss Frankenberg gathered few pu-
pills into her modest room. The
highest tuition she received was
seyenty-fiye cents q week per pupil.
To the parents the making OF paper
birds, boats, caps, modelling in clay,
marching and singing were simply
child playa capital way to amuse
children and keep them out OF mis-
chief.
Miss Frankenberg was al accom-
plished women of force end deSermln-
alton. There was much of the aris-
tocrat in her manner and bearing.
She invariably wore lace cap tieo
under the chin, while black lace mitts
covered her shapely hands. To eke
out living she was finally forced to
add lace making and various kinds OF
needle work, in which she was skilled,
to her kindergarten school.
Disabled by an accident, she be.
came in her sixtieth year all inmate OF
the Lutheran Orphan Home and
Asylum at Germantown, Pa. In tnat
institution she successfully intro
duced the kindergarten system in
1865. Miss Peabody is said to have
visited there and got many OF the
Froebel ideas she tried to put in prac-
tice in her tentative efforts at Boston
before visiting Europe.
Miss Frankenberg remained at the
the home until 1882, when she died OF
old age. Her tomb may be seen in
st. Nicholas graveyard, adjoining the
home, where the Kindergarten r. ssy:s5;;
fem is perpetuated ON the lines laid
down by Froebers first disciple in
America. = Cincinnati Commercial
