WOMEN AT MEMS COLLEGES,
There Has Eccn Large Increase
in the Number of Girls At
tending Yale.

Women are rapidly invading the do
main of the men III college work in
America as they are competing with
the members of the sterner sex abroad.
The large number of women students
enrolled in the graduate department of
Yale at the present time calls attention
to feature of academic life which Is
assuming larger proportions every
year. 1t was in 1892 that the educa-
the information that the corporation
of Yale had decided to open its grad
uate department to bachelors of art
without distinction of sex, and there
were many forewarnings concerning
the failure of such an iconodastic de-
parture.
During the six years that the expert
ment has been under way the women
students have had to struggle against
innumerable difficulties, but it is be-
lieved that at last they have esta blished
their position upon permanent foot
ing. There is hardly any member Of
the faculty who does not have good
word to say in their favor, and even the
undergraduates are beginning to re-
gard their presence upon. the campus
with Indifference. The official cata-
logue of the present year has not yet
been published, but it is known that
there are, at the present time, about 40
women students at Yale, and there are
not lacking those who claim that it
would be impossible to find among the
$500 members of the university 40 stu
dents who contribute more to the real
scholarship of the institution, and who
are regarded with greater respect by
the professors under whose instruction
they come.

SHOOTING STARS.
Some Facts Concerning Them Which
Have Been Ascertained by
Astronomers.

The present state of science does
not admit yet of our knowing whether
the contact of the shooting stars and
aerolites has had any effect at all on
the earth's motion. But we can as
sumo that in the process of time the
amount of shooting stars and meteoTs
will decrease. For any given group of
the former it is almost certain that it
was once more conspicuous than it is
to-day and that it is growing less as
the periodic returns pass on. Of course
in this assumption we must take into
account variations of density at differ
ent parts of the steadily moving cur
rent, variations which can produce
showers that are now more dense and
now more sparse. For this reason the
constant enumeration of shooting stars
becomes quite important, since this
alone will teach us in the long run
whether or not the phenomenon is re-
ally losing in richness, and il 1t is to
what degree and under the sway of
what laws.
When a shooting star breaks into

of the combusticn remains in the air,
and can be found in what is known as
atmospheric dust. The virgin snow of
the polar regions was often seen TO
be spotted with traces of dust which
contained particles of iron. Like parti-
Giles are found on church towers and
elsewhere. Among the minute bodies
that dance in the suns rays there are
certainly particles of shooting stars.
The sands of the African deserts when
examined by a microscope present
traces of very small iron particles
which seem to have been subjected to a
high temperature, and the Challenger
on it's remarkable trip in the Atlantic
found at times in its drag-net frag-
ments of magnetic iron which we have
every reason to believe fell from the
sky. Sir William Thompson (Lord Ke1-
vin) and Richter have even seen in the
aerolites the dsseminators of the
germs Of life throughout the universe.

KID GLOVES.
A Number of Useful Hints for the
Economical Woman to
Profit BY.

Economy in small things is often
overlooked, and if only more considera-
ton were given to this subject quite a
considerable sum CT money might be
saved annually. The careless manner
in which very large number of ladies
treat their gloves is an instance in
point, and perhaps the following hints
may serve to show how the reasonable
care of kid gloves would result in re-
duction of expenditure:
In the first place, it may be pointed
out that rough handling is specially
disastrous to kid gloves, and it very
often happens that new pair are split
and ruined by jerking them on in care
less fashion. Always put on new pair
of kid gloves for the first time long
enough before they are to be worn to
allow of due deliberation in the task.
When a pair of fine gloves are bought
the purchaser should insist that they
be fitted on in the shop; then if there
are any flaws they will be detected be-
fore the gloves are paid for and taken
away.
Cheap gloves are generally risky in
vestments, but some of the best shops
keep a fairly good line of gloves at low
prices, which are worth buying for
common wear. If strong and well made
they will serve for shopping and morn
ing walks, or for bad weather
In putting on a glove be careful to
get each finger straight. Coax each one
on by rubbing gently with the thumb
and first finger until the fingers are
down to the very ends.
In taking the gloves off turn the wrist
over the fingers and take hold of the
ends of the fingers through the wrist.
1t wears a glove out badly to pull it off
by catching hold of the fingertips. Pull
the glove into shape and lay aside care
fully. Silk should be kept to match
each shade, and gloves should be mend
ed as soon as break appears, for the
old proverbs: "a stitch in time saves
nine" is especially appropriate to these
articles of attire. Glove mending is
delicate work, which requires both skill
and dexterity, and when well done pays
admirably for the pains taken. Glove
powder should form one of the ad-
juncts to every toilet table, and pref
| ty glove stretcher another.
French women set a good example,
and have made quite an art of putting
on gloves, and this is why Parsienne's
gloves last her four times as long as
| anybody else's.
Buttoning gloves should never be
done in hurry. The wrist should be
carefully and gently pulled straight,
and the buttons insinuated gently into
the holes. Use a glove buttoner al
| ways; it ruins both the button holes
and the finger tips to button them with
| out.
After purchasing new pair of gloves
always sew the buttons on before wear
ing them. The annoyance of having the
buttons drop off will then be avoided

HOW BRADY LOST HIS MONEY.
The BOwery Celebrity Died the Day
Before the Annual Vanderbilt
Check Was Due.

By the death of John Brady, who
choked to death on mutton chop late
ly, the Bowery has lost one of it's typ
ical characters. He was known to shop
and hotel keepersfrom Chatham square
to Cooper Union. Brady bore the repu-
tation of an honest man who loved
horses and reveled in races, who thought

who was faithful follower of Tam

the last day of 1898 he went into res
taurant and with friends ordered drinks
and mutton chops. While eating one he
became purple in the face and fell to
the floor, where in few minutes he
died, reports the New York Times.
Since Brady came to this country
from Ireland, so years ago, he had con-
tinually hung around race track sta
bles. His favorite story was how he
saved the life of Vanderbilt, and he
had just finished telling it when he died,
Several years ago." he had said, "a

AMERICAN GENERALS.
Two Who Are Splendid Types of the
Courageous American
Soldier.

We had not seen the fight of the cav
airy brigade, says Frederic Remington
in Harper's Monthly, because we were
not at the front. We would not let it
happen again. We slung our packs and
most industriously plodded up the Via
del Rey until we got to within hailing
distance of the picket posts, and he
said: "Now, Frederic, we will stay
here. They will pull off no more fights
of which we are not a party Of the first
part" And stay we did. If Gen. Law
ton moved ahead, we went up and cult
waited Lawton; but If Gen. Chaffee got
ahead, we were his friends, and gath
cred at his mess fire. To be popular
with us it was necessary to have COM
mand of the advance.
But what satisfying soldiers Lawton
and Chaffee are! Both seasoned, pro-
fessional military types. Lawton, big
and long, forceful and with iron deter
mination. Chaffee, who never dis
mounts but for little sleep during the
darkest hours of the night and whose
head might have been presented to him
by one of Williams Norman barons.
Such head! We used to sit around and
study that head. 1t does not belong to
the period; it is remote, when the race
was young and strong; and it has war

COOKING BY STEAM.
Many Articles of Food Are Much Bet
ter Prepared in This
Way.

Many articles of food that are usually
cooked by being baked, boiled, stewed
or fried, have a better flavor and are
more easily digested if steamed. If one
has not a regular steam cooker, the
steamer may be pressed into service, Its
usefulness being only limited by its
size.
Roasting ears of corn, potatoes, peas,
rice, tomatoes, squash and all such
vegetables are much better steamed
than boiled or stewed. The ears of corn
and whole potatoes may be placed di-
rectly in the steamer for cooking, but
other things must be in pans or dishes
set in the steamer, and the latter must
be closely covered.
Apple sauce, berries, rhubarb, ETC.,
are given a much more delicate flavor
when cooked by steam than otherwise.
The sugar should not be added until
they are about done-just long enough
for the heat and moisture to dissolve it
and allow the flavor to permeate the
fruit, but not enough to give the strong
taste that long cooking of sugar always
does.
Cusard, tapioca and all such delicate
desserts are far better steamed than
boiled or baked.
1t takes longer to cook by steam than
TO boil, but the results more than repay
for the extra time, especially as there
is no danger whatever from overlook
ing or scorching and an article once put
to cook requires no further attention
until done.
If gasoline or oil stove is used for
cooking, it is quite an economy to use
the steamer, as it may be placed over a
pot of something that as boiling, and
the contents of the two vessels cooked
with the oil that would be required fer
one.
Ears of corn ard bowl or can of ber-
ries, or apples for sauce, may be put in
the same steamer; a dish of tomatoes
surrounded by potatoes; pudding or
other dessert and any vegetables; or al
most any combination one cares to
make, as the flavor of one will not af-
feet another when cooked by steam.
Tin fruit or vegetable cans with the
tops melted off make good receptacles
for use in the steamer if they are kept
bright and free from rust.-House-
keeper.
