The question was asked Of Miss Alice
Serber, the woman lawyer, by writer
in Success. Miss Serber replied:
"Oh, no; the great majority Of the
men Of my native land would be Mortified
at the idea. The women of Russia who
desire or are forced to work for their
living can become dressmakers at $3.50

ers at little more. None of the profess

and for this they must have certain
high status in society and must have
large means to defray the great expenses
of the women's course at the university.

studied and obtained their diplomas in

ambitious women is much more liberal

A Dry smoke.

If you see a man with an unlighted
cigar between his lips, it is not be-
cause he is looking for light, but be-
cause he is INDUCING in the pleasure of
a dry smoke" How there can be any
enjoyment in this to a smoker is not
readily apparent, but the fact remains
that there is much satisfaction in the
habit, and, besides, there are no bane-
full effects.
For inyeterate smokers the dry smoke
is a good habit to cultivate. 1t enables
many slaves of the weed to decrease
the number of cigars actually smoked
in a day without causing much incon-
venience. OF course an inveterate
smoker would find no pleasure in the
habit at the start, but perseverance is
necessary, and after awhile he will en-
joy his dry smoke almost as much as
the real one. 1t is a good way to be-
gin if you desire to stop smoking. Try
1t and see. New York Herald.

Don Carlos, left her home at the bidding
of humpbacked and ill favored Roman
artist, than whom surely she could have
chosen none more unlike the ideal gallant
of romance.

Alas, the glamour soon faded, for after
awhile the pair quarreled, and separa-

Even more romantic was the elope-
ment of her sister, the Princess Jo-
sephine. A certain Senior Rende, a poet
of promise and a journalist attached to
Havana paper, asked a rich planter fol

he was ANONYMOUSLY shown the door
Furious at this treatment, the young
poet swore that he would show the world
his worth by marrying princess.
Quitting Cuba, he journeyed to Mad
rid, where, after years of want and suf-
fering, he gained reputation as a poet
AT last his genius attracted the notice
of the Princess Josephine, to whom he
had dedicated several of his illusions The
royal lady made his acquaintance and
became enamored of the poet. Hel
love was returned, the pair eloped, were
married at Valladolid and escaped to
Paris. On hearing the news the prin-
cess family were aghast and strove by
every means to have the marriage an
nulled. Their efforts were, however, flu
tile, and, common sense at length pre-
vailing, the poet and his royal bride were
forgiven and taken into favor.

Country Girl IN the city.

that their talents will there be given full
scope, leave their homes and the work
which they can best do, only to be sub
merged and perhaps utterly lost sight of

tunities are, of course, greater in the city
than in the country, but the competition
Is also greater, and I believe that an am

to an already overcrowded center, to take

land, New Orleans or Boston as well as
in New York?

On Reading AIOu6

1t is distinct loss that reading is so
badly taught and that so few people
know anything about the magic of the
poets in their use of sound. We read
almost excessively with the eye, al
though poetry is primarily intended
for the ear. Shakespeare wrote almost
exclusively for the ear, and we remain
! unmoved by the wonderful vibration
OF his great passages until we hear
them.
Poetry ought always to be heard first
and read afterward. If the best Of
Browning is sympathetically and intel
igently interpreted by the voice, the
much discussed obscurity is not In evil
dence. Many people find, for instance,
a little difficulty in getting the clear
and full significance of ''The Portrait
of the Last Duchess when they read
it for the first time, but it fastenS itself
instantly on the Imagination if it is
we'll read.
A good deal of time now devoted to
commentaries and text study might
profitably be given to reading the text
aloud without note or comment. A
work of art slowly discloses it's full
meaning, and familiarity with it is the
first condition of comprehension

MASTERING CHINESE.

One of the Most Difficult of Lam

1t is we'll known that the Chinese
language is one of the most difficult to
master, and for us to attempt this task
after we have finished our school years
is excessively trying and difficult. Ger
tainly the mistakes one hears of as be-
ing made by those who begin to talk
and, worse still, preach in a language
they fondly imagine they have mas
tered are ludicrous in the extreme.
I heard of a clergyman who was
preaching to a Chinese congregation in
the vernacular. "Come to God, oh, my
friends; come to God"' he cried (or
thought he did and was considerably
surprised to find some of the congrega-
ton with broad grins on their faces,
while others were frowning blackly.
Great was the good mans consterna-
ton when he found he had been say
ing, "Call the pigs, oh, my friends; call

due entirely to putting the accent on
the wrong syllable, which altered the
whole sense of the words.
The Chinese seem to regard a for

we to assume that in the absence of the

Paris, July 17.-Twenty-one clam-

States can boast of winning sixteen and
, securing thirteen SECONDS and twelve

day, in which the Americans placed
six f1rstS, six seconds and seven thirds
to their credit. They captured the 200
metres hurdle race, the standing high
jump, the three standing jumps, the
long jump, The hOp-step-and-junp the
hammer-throwing and the standing
long jump, and they did it easily. In
fact the facilities with which the
American athletes carried off prizes
finally grew mOnOtOnOuS.
Three events were won by foreign
ers. One, the tug-Of-war, was not con-
tested by the Americans. In the 800
metres flat race, which was won by
an Englishman, Tyse. the Americans
took second and third places. In the
remaining race, the 1000 metres
steeplechase, they failed to get place,
Englishmen taking all three.
