for the Home of the Friendless even
before she became one Of it's board of
managers, a position which she now
holds. In 1871, directly after the great
fire, Mrs. Stone organized a benevolent
society Of South Side women, who
worked wonders in behalf of the poor
people during the severe winter follow
ing the fire. She also organized the
Charity Organization Society"
Much of Mrs. Stones later charitab BILE
work has been confined to fostering
and promoting the interests of the
Young Womens Christian Association.
This association was organized in 1876,
and Mrs. Stone was made Vice Presi-
dent the same year. In 1880 she was
elected President, an Office she filed
continuously until a few days ago,
when she felt compelled to relinquish
the position to take a much needed
rest
Mrs. Stone is Vice President of the
International Board of Women's Asso-
Citations for the State of Illinois, and
President of the State Board of Won
ems. and Young Women's Christian AS
sociations of Illinois. Besides this she
holds memberships in many other
prominent charitable associations and
organizations, to which she pays
great deal Of attention. To her many
friends it is a marvel how an elderly
woman can accomplish so much.

MAKING A GLOBE.

Brief Description of Very Interest
ing Process in Geography.
First, the model is covered with a
thick layer of pasteboard in a moist
state When it is dry, sharp knife is
passed around it so as to separate the
pasteboard coat into two hemispherfcal
shells, which are then taken off the
model and united at the cut edges with
glue. The hollow sphere thus formed
is the skeleton of the globe that is
to be.
The next thing is to cover it with a
coating of white enamel, about one
eighth of an inch in thickness. When
this is done the ball is turned into q
perfect roundness by machine. The
iron rod running through the center of
the original model, and projecting at
both ends through the surface, has left
holes in the new globe, which serve for
the north and south poles, and through
these a metal axis is run to represent
the axis of the earth.
Then the surface Is marked off with
pencil lines into mathematical segments
corresponding precisely IN shape with
the sections of map that are to be past
ed on. These map sections are made
from copper plates in just the size and
shape required to fit the globe that they
are intended for, one set, of course, COW
ering the entire spherical surface. They
are printed, many of them, like dress
patterns, on sheets of the finest linen
paper, and are cut out carefully with a
sharp-pointed knife.
When they have been pasted on, the
different countries are tinted by hand
with water colors. There is no special
rule for this, except that contrasts are
aimed at as help to the eye of the
user. Finally, the whole is overlaid
with a brilliant white varnish, which is
Of almost metallic hardness, and will
wear indefinitely without scratching or
losing Its Observation-Disclosures Sem

Evidence produced from the libraries
of this country that fiction Is losing
some of It's Overwhelming popularity is
followed by testimony that the same
phenomenon is observable In England.
A London correspondent Of the New
York Evening Post quotes one OF the
principal British publishers to the eff
feet that novels and romances are Civ
ing way before ''belles-lettres, travel
books and books on practical subjects"
The change apparently is even more
marked in England than 1t Is on this
side of the Atlantic, for the correspond
ent goes on to add: Novels that have
sold a hundred thousand copies In
America are selling only five, six and
possibly up to ten thousand here" But
whichever country may be leading In
this intellectual reform, there can be
no doubt that a movement of the kind
would be most desirabl Most novel
reading is worse than a mere waste of
time. 1t Weakens the power Of mental
application, wrecks the memory and
forms disastrous habit of inattention.
1t is no more an exercise for the brain
than sitting in the stern of the boat is
exercise for the body and to confuse
such reading with what is called intel
lectuahty is one Of the most absurd
mistakes imaginable. Flowing a
straight furrow is much more intellec-
tual employment and one quite beyond
the capacity Of the habitual and omniv
orous novel reader. The confusion does
the greatest harm in childhood, when
the time should be improved to produce
intellectual as well as physical athletes.
A training is then needed which should
be felt as the training Of the gymnasi.
um or of outdoor sports is felt upon the
muscles. Stories should be admitted
as an occasional luxury, and only the
best at that Indiscriminate browsing
around among books that are neither
literature nor science is infinitely worse
than an exclusive devotion to the play
ground. 1t is to be hoped, most earnest
ly, that the change of taste is reaching
the juveniles.

Whether we need more battleships or
more cruisers appears to depend large
ly on the question whether, in the next
war, we shall have more need to catch
and capture the enemy's merchant YES
sells or to meet and fight his men-Of-
war. cruiser is fighting vessel only
a little more lightly armed and armor-
ed than those classed as battleships
and with somewhat greater speed. In
the great majority of sea fights she
could give quite as good account of her
self as the heavier vessel; so there is
some merit in the argument that it is
better to build five cruisers than four
battleships for the same amount of
money.

Seeding Lawns

One cause of poor lawns is not seed
ing often enough. This is more marked
in the village than the country. Dur
ing seasons of protracted drouth more
or less of the seeding dies and severe
winters do much injury. If seed is not
sown to replace what dies out, it is i'm
possible to have good lawns. White
clover should be sown as soon as dan
ger of frost killing the young plants is
past. A light seeding of blue grass and
red top should be made the first Of
August, and another the middle of the
month. This will insure better catch
than sowing all the seed at one time
Fan is the best time for seeding.

The Dowager Empress Of Germany,
Queen Nlctoria's tirst-born child, who
died recently, was not so fortunate as
her mother. She did not possess so
much power, she did not have so happy
life, and she died slowly, from pain
full disease. Her husband loved her,
but the German people did not, and
Bismarck did not. While her father
in-law lived and Bismarck ruled she
had to stay in the background, which
was not pleasant for an ambitious and
an able woman. Her husband came to
the throne at last, but he lived for only
ninety Rine days. Then she became
