An In1urlous Renefaetion

1t is well known that missionaries In
China do great deal In the way of al
leviating suffering among those who
cannot obtain the services of doctor
Quite recently a Chinaman lost his
sight, and some sympathetic neighbors
came and enlisted the services of the
local missionary in his behalf The
missionary found his patient suffering
from cataract and succeeded in remov
ing it and restoring sight to the China
man. The obliglng neighbors then,
however, represented to the missionary
that he had robbed the man of the
means of earning bis living Che was a
"bIind" beggar) and that in future he
would be expected to take him into his
service and keep him. Well doing Is

young woman got along famously. her
fires being regarded as the best in the
shop.
Then came the art of fashioning
from the redhot iron the bolts, staples,
hooks. hinges and all sorts of devices
that come from Vulcan's workshop.
In this work she has proved fully as
expert as the young men and wields
the hammer with quite as much force
and skill as any of them.
She apparently does not mind the
blisters and bruises from handling the
hammers and rough iron nor the burns
that come from the flying sparks but
without cries or gloves she goes on
bravely hamniering away.
Miss Weld is a Bostonian and a
graduate of fashionable female semi
nary at Bryn Mawr. She is an attract
i've girl of medium height, with bright
blue eyes, brown hair and a merry
laugh. which does not match at all
with the popular idea of the erudite
woman Her favorite study is mathe-
matics, in which she is remarkably
proficient.
She began her studies at the Insti-
tute of Technology last year. having
taken the course in drafting. her work
in this line receiving especial praise.
Miss Weld made her choice of the
profession of marine architecture few
years ago. when yachting party. of
which she was one. put into Bristol,
r. l.. to repair broken shaft. In
looking over the shops and yards of
the Herreshoffs. while the work was
being done. the desire to be master of
that craft took possession of her and
grew to serious purpose. in which she
was encouraged by her family and
friends. To this end she is studiously
devoting her energies. thoroughly ae-
quainting herself not only with the the
DRY of shipbuilding. but seeking TO
master the mechanical details.
Realizing that to become successful
marine architect She must know all
about machinery and the principle of
its construction and operation. she has
begun In practical way in the black
smith shop, from which she will soon
pass to the machine shop and acquire
the practical knowledge of hydraulic
and electrical mechanics which are es.
sential to success in her chosen pro
fession.

Women blacksmiths are not unknown
in the world. but it is extremely uncom-
mon to find young lady of education
and refinement toiling industriously
day after day at the anvil and forge.
This is what Miss Lydia Gould Weld
does, and the shop where she works
is connected with the Masachu-
sets Institute of Technology, where
she is studying to be naval
architect, a field of activity in which
the new woman has not hitherto en-
tered. The course In marine architec-
ture requires a practical knowledge of
blacksmithing as well as other
branches of mechanics, and Miss Weld
was not in the slightest degree dismay-
ed when assigned to duty in the
smithy.
The working hours in the shop are
from 8 a, N. to 4:3O p. m, and the
work is quite as exacting and arduous
as in any blacksmith shop. On the first
day of her apprenticeship Miss Weld
appeared promptly on time and began
her work at the forge with spirit and
vigor. The superintendent handed her
a long leather apron. and. rolling up
her sleeve above the elbow. she dis
played Il shapely and muscular arm
She says she acquired the muscle play

ing is no harder than golf playing.
Miss Wei. took TO the work with
surprising aptness and declares that
she thoroughly enjoys it. and should
necessity ever require she would will
ingly earn her living at the anvil. AS
with all apprentices. Miss Weld was first
instructed in the art of building the
fire of the forge. In this she showed
more adeptness than the young men.
possibly because it is somewhat of a
domestic operation. Then with equal
tact she learned the mysteries Of
cherry red. bright red and welding
heats and how to keep the fire compact
so that the heat will be distributed
evenly to the iron. AS this is half the
battle in the science Of welding. the
