and when the motor-mau saw. he
grew afraid of his current. Finally
a policeman was found who had to
take the DIRE sdful thing away, and it
was handled very gently and tenderly,
and was lodged in q secluded cell over
night. The next morning it was gent
ly carried GU: to the navy yard to be
examined by the experts there. After
much cautious investigation it was dis
covered to be q part of the battery for
an electric lamp for bicycle, and it
was a. innocent and good as it looked
evil.
The wives of naval officers have
more than their share of woe just now,
for letters from the fleet are infre-
quent and hurried, and the newspapers
try to exc out the scanty news with
more or less sensational gueeses as to
what is happening. These guesses are
sometimes very painful to the home
folks, who read with more than an in
terest in the news. One officer in
the Manila fleet, having been taken
i'll, was removed from his ship. Some
of the papers have it that he has low
fever, others that he has softening OF
the brain, and others are certain Of
different pains and sicknesses that af-
hict him. In The meantime his brave
old mother reads them all, tries to re-
concile any of them with her own
knowledge of her boy, and hopes for
the best. But there is not much COM
fort for her.
Apropos of the good old rule against
good looking women being army nur-
ses. one is reminded of q new device
for the comfort and joy of the soldier
boys, which seems to have originated
in our town. It is to send with each
regiment . matron who shall darn
socks and wear neat alpaca dresses.
There was some talk of providing
every regiment at Camp Alger with .
mstron. Some of the boys have de-
clsred that the camp il no place for
women, others said no place for wo-
men under thirty-five. Why thirty

apt to be dangerous after and useful

all her wilss and gained in serviceabil-
ity-however that may be . point for

One of Americas Most wonderful Isusi-
ness Women
The first American woman elected a
Fellow OF the Imperial Institute OF Lon
don was Sophia Brauenlich, who died
in New York on August IL, 1898. The
career of Mrs. Brauenlich was in many
respects quite remarkable. and it af-
fords new proof of the fact that
American women are developing BUSH
ness abilities of high order
Sophia Brauenlich (nee Thoepkin)
was born on Long Island, July 2, 1854.
She acquired part of her education
abroad. married a German and was left
a widow soon thereafter. She then
entered business college in New York
from which she graduated and obtained
employment in the Office Of The Engin-
eering and Mining Journal as an
amanuensis. Here she found her true
field in life, and was rapidly promoted
through various departments until
finally she came to be business manager

had supervision.
In the interesting biographical ac-
count of her life which appears in the
above named periodical, written by
Rossiter w Raymond, the editor, it
seems that much of the financial suo-
cess of the publications in question has
been directly due to the rare business
ability of this gifted woman, VINO. was
SO exceedingly modest and retiring that
she could never be induced to appear
in any public capacity, although an ac-

self-supporting women. Few of the
readers of the Engineering and Mining
Journal or the other publications OF this
company, knew that the handspring of
the business department was for years

Violets are and always will be the
favorite flower for street wear, and
they are so easily cultivated that it is
wonder more attention is not given to
the home cultivation of the dainty
blossoms
Take a shallow wooden box and bury
it in the ground with the sides stand
ing out of the earth about six inches,
and higher at the back than at the
front.
Fill the box with rich, black earth to
within ten inches of the top, after first
having punctured holes in the bottom.
Then take an old window sash with all
the lights in it, and lay it over the top
of the box. Here you have as good
hot bed as you need wish.
Next comes the question of the flow
ers. Violets are very hardy, and they
spread so that if you fill the bed this
year, you will have to weed it out next
season
Buy dozen healthy roots and plant
them well apart. Water them diligentl
1y every night for a week and raise the
glass cover during the midday hours
every day. The plants will grow and
bud, and, as the winter sets in, the
flowers will appear After it becomes
cold the glass need not be raised and
the plants need not be watered
All you will have to do now is to pick
the flowers, and that will not be an
easy task. They will grow and bios
som Like weeds.
Growing violets is a fascinating thing
and pays SO well that the wonder is
women do not devote themselves to the
cultivation of these beautiful blossoms

London WheeIwornen.

-ondon's wheelwomen and wheelmen
are perturbed on account OF proposed
increase in the premiums on the insur-
ancc policies of cyclists. There have
been an alarming number of fatal icycl-
ing accidents of late and the men say
that they have all been due to the reck-
less riding of women. On the other

trouble all grows out Of the habit Of
scorching INDUCED in by men; and so
it goes. Authorities agree that the men

that they do not dodge under the noses

Their First Appearance.

During a campaign that was contest
ed less than decade ago, there was a
joke on two young and aspiring politi-
clans of Detroit that has been well kept
up to the present time.
Each considered himself stump
orator of rare eloquence and persua-
sive powers. They belonged to oppcs-
ing parties, and after the ight had
grown fast and furious one challenged
the other to joint debate. There was
prompt acceptance and a little white
school house in one of the outlying
townships was to be the scene of foren-
sic contest Both were there at the
call of time. Then there arose . dispute
as to how long each should talk One
wanted two hours. He could not pos
sibly discuss the great issues involved
and do them justice in less time. The
other wanted three hours, but the
native chairman announced that they
wasn't goin' to hev no all night ses-
shing," and it was finally agreed that
each disputants should have an hour
and half.
The first one came up shaky vita
stage fright and started off as though
he were talking to some one a quarter
of a mile away In just five minutes he
couldn't think Of what to say next,
pleaded sudden illness and sat down in
a cold sweat The other one came up
smiling, opened up with a aalf dozen
bombastic. sentences, forgot his lines
and announced that he would not take
advantage of his friends illness by
piling up arguments to which he could
make no rejf -nder.
Thus the red hot debate that was to
have occupied three hours was disposed
OF in about eight minutes. The dis
gruntled farmers at once notified tie
committee to send them full grown
stumpers or none. They wanted no
more kid prodigies. Detroit Free

1t was through his observation of
living children at play that FroebeI
discovered his child garden, with it's
games and gifts and occupations.
Everything which he offers as means
of education Is in response to some
discovered need and interest of child
hood. He was the first to divine the
significance OF the initiative plays Of
children, and his insight is embodied in
his famous dictum, What man tries to
represent that he begins to under
stand
In its best estate the kindergarten
is the place where genuine natural
child-life is guarded and preserved.
The simple kindergarten gifts, appeal
ing to the child's natural desire to ..on-
struet, are in delightful contrast to
other gifts made indiscriminately in
the home. The little box of blocks,
which contains in its eight parts a
table, a bed, chair. sofa, or maybe
a house, is a revelation of the possibil-
ities hidden in common things. Froebel
has aptly called his first building gift
the child's joy. 1t must never be for
gotten that play is the child's serious
business, and it is through the unregu-
lated activity OF free play that children
are gradually guided to regulated acti-
vity. The very mimicry of play is am
