In the course of her lecture yester-
day forenoon, on Frances women
painters Mrs. A. H. Chaffee said: I'm
the realm of art we find a field where
women can compete with men on equal
grounds. Here the stronger physique of
the man will not avail, for he Yields
not the hammer or axe; the field is the
quiet realm of fancy, and it is ideas,
which carries the artist forward to sue
cess. The physical weakness of woman
is no detriment for the quiet, secluded
life Of the artist seems to all a wo-
manly life. With the training of women
in school we find the brain-power is
developed, so that here she stands with
advantages fitting her for a grasp OF
life thai is broad and delightful"
Passing on, Mrs. Chaffee said: I'm
America there are more women in the
field of art than men, and even when
we turn to the past, we find high posi-
lions have been attained by women In
art. Wives of artists are frequently
distinguished artists themselves, which
is true of Mrs. Alma-Fadema, Mrs
Demont-Breton and the wife of M.
Bougureau, who was formerly a Wor-
cester lady"

LOBSTERS RISE IN PRICE.
Those who Are Fond Of the Crus-
tnccsns VIII Have to ray More
for Them This Year.

This year people who are fond of
eating Holsters will have to pay dearly
for the privilege Of indulging their APP
petites in such sea food, for the reason
that the c~rustaccaus are scarcer now
than ever before" said a wholesale deal

are that n further advance of from five

cents a pound. The average size of live

The present dearth OF Holsters in

the enormous number OF understood

and sold for canning purposes in Maine.

GIRAFFES IN AFRICA.
In the Central Part Of the
Dark Continent

From time to time il has been ru-
mored that girafres existed in British
Central Africa, on the Loangwa river,
but, although that river valley has been
frequently visited during the last ten
years by Europeans, no authentic in
formation on the point has ever been
obtained, says the British Central Al
rican Gazette. Recently, however, a
giraffe was shot on the east bank Of the
Loangwa, in the Marimba district, by a
European prospector, and its skin lin
complete) sent in to Capt, Chichester, in
Mpezeni's country, The hinder half OF
the skin IL being sent 10 the British
museum, and il is hoped that a com
plete specimen may now be obtained.
The existence OF giraires in Marimba
is remarkable; the area in which they
are found is extremely restricted, and
their number appears to be very few.
The one shot, however, was In a herd Of
about 35, The nearest country north
Of Marimba In which girsffes are known
Ia exist is north Of Mareres, where the
Eltoh-Cotterill expedition met with
them many years ago, To the south
hatabeleland is the nearest giraffe
country.

FREE EDUCATION.
Russinn Mobiles Are Entitled To Their
Schooling at the Cost of the
Government.

The nobility Of Russia in each and
every province, who form a kind of
corporation in the eyes OF the govern
ment with "A marshal ut lie head, are to
be allowed to establish special board
ing houses or homes for those Of their
children who attend the middie-class
schools, but quite separate from such
schools.
The government undertakes to pay
the full cost of establishing these in
stitutions. which will come under the
supreme control OF the minister OF pub
lie instruction, and in which the pu-
pills are to receive board, lodging,
clothes, linen, boots, schoolbockS, pc
cuniary assistance, and, If necessary
personal help in doing their home les
sons after school hours. The govern
ment also engages to pay half the year
ly cost of supporting them, The prefer
cnce in accepting boarders as well as
gratuitous maintenance Will he given
TO the children whose fathers hold any
official post in the corporation of their
class or in the zemstyos, or who have
formerly held such post for not less a
period than nine years, The nobility ave
also granted the right of founding
scholarships for their boys in the higher
and intermediary establishments of ed
ucation, for which the government like
wise provides half the necessary funds.
At the same time an annual sum Of ls6,-
$50 roubles will be paid out of the inn
perial eXchequer for the free educa-
ton Of AIS boys in two OF the new mil
itary cadet schools.
This curious piece OF class legislation
will give the landed nobility of Russia
"a far cheaper education for their chill

the other Anticipated social categories
into which the Russian population is
still divided.-Pall Mall Gazette.

turned out by the 5000 men employed
IN the government shops connected
