Hatsii6s College Gets the aaiates n.
brsry About Woman.
Except Paul, perhaps no man that
ever lived, has given 20 much attcn-
ton to women as Col. T. w. Higginson,
says the New York Journal His unique
collection OF books relating to woman.
comprises about thousand volumes,
which Col. Higginson has brought to-
gether during nearly half a century of
persistent collecting. Only one condi-
ton 10 attached to the gift to Radcliffe
college. This Is that the books be
placed, at least for the present, in an
alcove by themselves, in the hope that
they may thus be brought more con-
spicuously to public notice and that
other donors may cooperate in build
Ing department of permanent value.
The collection has hitherto been called
The Galatea collection of books rclat-
to the history Of woman" the name
having been suggested by a woman
friend Of their owner from the old
fable Of Pygmalion and Galatea. In q
blank book in which Col. Higginson
has catalogued the collection is the fol-
lowing note: This collection properly
began with the purchase august, 1846)
OF Mrs. Hugo Reds Plea for Woman
probably the first that interested me
in the subject. This was followed by
Parsons Mental and Moral Dignity of
Woman NOV. 10. 1886, and the col
lection has been continued of and on
ever since, most Of the rarer books hav-
Ing been imported. I used to think I
might write book, The Intellectual
History of Woman and still hope that
the collection may be kept together
and used by some competent writer"
There are many curious old volumes
In the collection-for example "Gallcrie
des Femmes Fortes," history Of vari-
GUS strong-minded women, printed in
1865, and Lay Southwells "Descrip-
ton Of Very Woman, and Also Of
the Male Sex" Uondon, 1910. There
are also many modern books which
treat the woman question" and de-
scribe the social and political privileges
and restrictions of women, from the
writings. Of, Mary, % Wollstonecroft, Ito
those Of Lucy Stone and Col. Higginson
himself. There Is one unique French
book. "Paradoxe sur les .Femmes,"
which attempts to prove that women
do not belong to the human race.
"Mulieres non homines esse" is on the
title page. Another curiosity Of this
sort Is French Proposal for Law to
Forbid Women to Learn to'Read"a The
collection Is considered to be the best
Of its kind In the world.

Another writer. DR.. Broughton pro-
phesies physical catastrophe of many
kinds-great floods, hurricanes, earth
u,.akes, tidal waves and volcanic erup-
tions. Still another writer in the Pen
ny Magazine says that these direfuI
ccnvulsions will take place between
November 10 and December Is. In re-
gard to social and political conditions,
the entire situation betOkens struggle
and Warfare, this writer asserts, both
as regards individuals and nations:
There win be great accession of crime,
and there will be terrible conflagra-
'tions and disasters by sea and land;=
children and women will come under
some speciev fatality of injury and
dea tn; places of amusement will be de-,
stroyed with loss of life, and there will
be terrible misfortune in mines and all
underground places. Intense political
excitement will exist, and the assem- !
bling of congress will be rendered no.!
ticeable by passionate 6enunciation
and almost revolutionary threats. The
labor organizations will be excited and
there will be widespread idleness and
poverty. The marvellous boom of 1898
and 1899 will be near to collapse. 1t
will be period of general and deep:
seated unrest and fears for the future.
These are the conditions signified for
the United States. Great Britain will;
suffer specific and terrible losses OF
life among The highest ssndf lowest
Some peculiar and totally unexpected
affliction will turn all eyes toward
Spain for a period. The continent of
Europe. will be threatened by a gen.
eral war, and it is probable, that there
will be actual war both in eastern and
western Asia. Western America will
suffer the most from physical dectruc-
,tion. These inimical conditions will
not entirely pass away until 1901, to be
renewed, with possibly more real dan:

jn NE Of the most interesting fea-
Il lures of the Paris exposition will
be. a model American post office,
which will be up to date in every res
spect. Arrangements have. been made
with the French postal authorities by
which mails for Americans in Paris
will be sent direct to this post office
instead of going through the regular
channels. In this way three or four
hours time will be saved in the dis
tribution Of the mails. The idea was
suggested by Commissioner General
Peck and heartily indorsed by the de-
partment. ts
A room about the size ordinarily used
for branch post office will be fitted
up with all modern postal appliances,
including lock boxes, stamping ma
chimes, distributing cases and every,
thing which goes to make UP a first
class post office. International money
orders will be issued, letters will be
Registered, and Americans visiting
Paris during the exposition will be en-
ablednto transact the ordinary business.
Of the post office in the way they are
accustomed to at home. The postal
service of this county is conceded to be
the best in the world, and the model
office at Paris will be marvel to the
French and others who visit the big
| show. The French authorities have
just given their consent to the estab-
>lishment of this Independent post Of
flee. and the details will be arranged
by the members Of the Paris exposi-
ton and Assistant Postmaster General

IN RANCE has always been noted as
a country where the common peo-
pie were peculiarly given to saw
ing their money. The government re-
port on the operation of the French
savings banks for 1897 gives an ap-
proximate idea Of what might be ac
complished in this country by means
of the postal savings system In
France there are 545 savings banks
with 1,181 branches. The number Of
bank books in use at the close Of the
year was 6,772,5S2, and the sum due
depositors had reached the enormous
total of 1861 ,329,7 200, or about two-thirds
of the national debt of the United
States. The receipts earned and ar
rearages left on deposit, amounted to
$161, ,O91, and the interest account
footed up s19,3oo.oo0. The development
of savings in France is shown by the
fact that in 1885 there were only four
depositors for every 1000 Of the popu-
lation, while now there are II for each

(more correctly speaking, churchian-

Because Christ said, "the poor yei

that poverty is a disease that will yield

So long as the moving spirit of our
daily life is self-aggrandizement,
christianity is an irridescent dream.
