gratitude for the founding Of Ruskin
Hall at Oxford by raising $4,000 on
behalf of a similar institution in this
country. On returning to this country
Mr.. Vrooman received hearty co-opera-
tion from educators and labor leaders
here and soon the fund was augment
ed by $4,000.
Funds having been thus provided, the
work rapidly proceeded, and now the
college Is ready to receive students. Its
prototype at the venerable English seat
of learning is devoted to the work of
educating young men of moderate
means, not with the intention Of maxi
ing them lawyers or clergymen, but
with the hope of sending them back to
their own work fully equipped for the
leadership Of their own class. 1t has
on its rolls and it educates at this mo-
ment about 1900 workingmen by cor
respondence; 1t has founded other Rus
kin Halls in the more important towns
Of England.
Ruskin College at Trenton has now
become the central institution and
headquarters Of the Ruskin Hall move
ment in America, and around 1t are to
be established shops factories and bus
mess enterprises, including agriculture
and horticulture.

modified to meet the peculiar exigen-
cles of the case. In action 1t is essen
tally an electric motor, but one deriv-
ing its electrical energy from heat ap-
plied to II through thermo-electric eou-
ples. A thermo-electric couple is com
posed Of two dissimilar metals, such as
iron and copper. ANY complete circuit
made of two metals must necessarily
have two functions of the two ID IT, !,
If one of these functions is heated
more than the other an electric current
will flow in the circuit, its amount ana
direction depending on the nature Oh tie
two metals, the difference in tempera-
ture between the two functions and the
resistance it encounters in its path. On
the motor machine the couples are
made of iron and nickel, firmly brazeu
together. They are arranged like the
windings of the ordinary electric motor,
with one set of functions brought con-
veniently to the surface, where gas jets
play upon them. The other set are
cooled by a rapid circulation of air
about them engendered by the rotation
of the machine. While the motor is OF
no practical value, 1t is exceedingly
interesting exemplification of the ease
with which energy may be transformed
and retransformed through the various
forms of heat, electricity and motion.

A woMAN's POCKET MONEY.
Many Wives Are Compelled to Get
Along on Small Allowance,

Many Wives Are Compelled to Get
Along on Small Allowance,
When a man at the altar utters the
words with all my worldly goods I
thee endow," what does he mean? Ger
tain 1t is that few husbands live ND to
their pledge The majority look upon
the small sums they give their wives
betimes as so much money thrown
away. One of the most charming of
women and faithful of wives endured
the parsimony of her lord and master"
as long as she could and then set to
work and secretly made cakes and pre-
serves, which she disposed of at an ex-
change, and so earned plttance which
she could dispose Of oh, joy! "and no
questions asked"
The man found this out after a while.
and then there was scene. He Storm
ed dreadfully and declared that the
wife Of his bosom had laid him open to
the contumely Of his neighbors; that
those persons would now think he had
stinted her, whereas she well knew that
he had given her plenty of food and
such clothes as he thought she needed.
The little woman had no reply for this
argument, which seemed unanswerable.
and SO she gave up making cakes, but
the next time she wanted money to
pay the dues of her literary club or to
buy new magazine or some trifiing bit
Of bric-a-brac for her bare mantel shelf
or ribbon for her old bonnet she lust
pawned her watch to get it.
Her case is not unique. There are
few promises SO often broken as that
one made at the altar about a mans
worldly goods. The families where the
purse Is common to mother and father
alike are practically infrequent.
Father Is usually an almoner, more
or less gracious, and mother his. hum
pie pensioner, who comes seeking aims.
For her work as housekeeper. nurse.
Seamstress and often cook and house
girl, she receives her food and clothes
and whatever she can crib from the
FUNDS with which she Is allowed to sup
ply the larder.
Why she should not receive half the
profits Of the business does not appear,
though, indeed, she wouldn't ask that,
being modest in her demands. What
she would like is certain sum, small
or large, which is hers to do with as she
pleases, with which she may buy pea
nuts If she likes without rebuke or give
to the blind beggar at the corner

Insurance ON ROYAL Heads.

The lives Of Europeap potentates are
generally heavily insured. While many
of them enjoy practically unlimited in
comes during their lives they are un-
able to beQueath anything except to
their eldest sons. Insurance gives them
the opportunity Of making some proyis-
ion for their Younger sons and daugh-
ters.
Napoleon Ill. of France was insured
for fabulous sum; and 1t is due to this
foresight that the ex-Empress Eugenie
will leave when she dies $10,0O0,000 to
Prince Victor Napoleon
The late King Humbert of Italy was
more heavily insured than any mon
arch since that day. No less than S.
100000 will be paid over 10 Queen
Margherita.
Scarcely single English insurance
company was without some interest in
the Duke of Edinburgh's life and now
the huge sum of 81. 1.5O0,0 900 Will have to
come out of the Golfers of these So
cietles.
The Prince of Wales policies amount
to 100000, while the Car of Russia
is insured for only 100000. One mil
lion dollars is at stake on the life of
Prince Henry of Prussia; 81, 500, 600 up
on that of the Baron de Rothschild, of
London. Queen Victoria, as might be
supposed. has been q veritable gold
mine to insurance companies owing to
her long life.

Touch Of Human Natnre

A remarkable touch of human nature
was exhibited at Piedmont Park the
other day. The sham battle was in prog
ress Col. Woodward's men had scaled
the works and were driving back the
enemy. The field was enveloped in
smoke. and 1t was only by its dense
lines that the location of the opposing
lines could be traced. The spectators
were cheering at the exhilarating scene
AL except two children in the grand
stand, but little distance apart who
were crying bitterly. The one a girl
was weeping lest some one might pet
hurt in the engagement. The other a
boy, was indignant because no dead
bodies were being left in the rear

road department of the Young Mems

lists cardboards. A score of neWspa-
per photographers and artists appeared
at the Y. NJ. c. A. building early ana
were informed that they could not en-
ter with their machines.
A dozen burly railroad men were ap-
pointed to smash all cameras found III
side the building and tear up all art
lists materials. The picture men then
waited outside. When Miss Gould ar
rived with Mrs. Sage a flank move
ment was made and their carriage was
driven around to side entrance.
The men of pictures rushed to the slae
door, but upon arriving there found tne !.
women surrounded by over fifty 'ai
men, who formed bodyguard cieaf
into the building, shutting the cameras
out completely.
In the crush to close out the picture

almost crushed themselves. Iney
seemed amazed at the excitement a.

She q Self Reliant, Physically StrOngs

The heroine of modern life and tic-
tion is contrasted with the heroine OF
the century's beginning by Robert
Grant, in the Woman's Home COmpan-
lon. In the following passage Judge
Grant leaves little doubt as to which
of the two he prefers:
mot only woman herself, but the
universe, rejo!ces In the new heroine Of
real life and contemporary fction-the
self-rellant, incredulous, sphere-seek-
Ing, critical, yearning modern woman.
Even the rose on her bosom wears a
prouder demeanor, as though conscious
OF her changed estate. Who would re-
mand her to her inslpid servitudei
Certainly not man. She has become his
true companion instead Of his adoring
doll. The Amelia Sedleys have passed
away from the face Of the earth for
ever, and the Marcellas rule in their
place. And yet, with the swinging Of
the pendulum In mind, philosopher
may be pardoned for dropping a few
vlolets on the grave of the heroine of
the past; even on poor Amelia Sedley's
Amelia, who would certainly have
bored this philosopher TO the point OF
weariness.
amelia Sedley was the sheer heroine
of the past without lights and shadows.
But her more attractive sisters lie also
in their graves, and memories of some
of them come back to us fragrant with
virtues in spite Of their limitations,
which, It seems to philosopher, the
new herolne-the Gibson girl--cannot
afford to disregard. They had no minds
to speak of, 1t Is true. That Ia, they
were parrot-like in their repetition of
what their husbands and fathers and
brothers told them was so; and their
energies were devoted to household
concerns--the generation and rearing of
babies, the production of delectable
food, to darning, nursing, church work
and small charities, They were gener-
ally timld and afraid of mice. iisin-
clined to athletic exercise and heroic
undertakings; they had no clubs, and
did not aim to be original. But think

Steam and Modern Nayies.

A whole fleet in the days of Nelson
could be built and fitted out at little
more than the cost of a single lronclad: !:
the coal expended on single cruise
would pay for the refittlng of his whole
battle line while the immense shells re.
quired to make any impression on the
modern armor plate cost more than his
whole armament. But the modern fine
of-battle ship could neither be built,
armed nor fought without the use %
steam. and its evolution may be said
to have commenced with the first appll-
cation of the steam engine to naviga-
ton.
