granite boulders and the flowers gray

30 willing to be seen and pursued and
loved. Surely no class Of thinkers or writ

absolutely different sides to different

A most crsditable work has been ac-
complished for the public library by
the Syracuse Woman's club. When
they took charge Of the library it con-
sisted of limited number Of books in
an unfavorable location, and lacking the
patronage Of the citizsrs. The list Of
Iatrons now includes two hundred
names; the number of volumes has been
increased to six hundred and fifty. while
the comfortably furnished library and
reading room is supplied with the best
newspapers and periodicals. On Friday.
July 3, the woman's club transferred
the management to a library board
which will spare no effort to continue
the work 30 successfully begun.

The art committee of the General
Federation of Women's Clubs desires,
through its first publication in the new
century, to present concise report Of
what is being done by skilled women in
certain defined lines Of the fine and ap-
piled arts. When massed together, it
presents a volume Of actual accomplish
ments that has weight and dignity, and
commands respectful attention. The
accompanying reports were prepared by
experts, in several cases by the most

nation and consultation.

Women as Architects.
Architecture as an occupation for wo-
men is in it's infancy. Within the last
few years only have architectural courses
been open to women, and although dur
ing that time many women have been
graduated, but few who entered the pro.
fession have really succeeded. There
are various reasons for this failure. In

where there 10 less drudgery and where
less mechanical knowledge and business

for generations have been trained 10 do

enter profession which in the past has
been monopolized by men. they find
themselves handicapped in many ways.
feel, however. that they have made
a good beginning, and that in the near
future We shall see women working in
conjunction with their brothers in this
calling.
The woman's building at the Worlds
Fair did great deal to encourage wo-
men to embrace architecture az a pro-
fession. Later the Atlantic exposition
had womsn's building, and now q
woman is to design and supsrintend the
building which represents the six New
England states at the Psn-American
Exposition at Buffalo. That this New
England building is not q womsn's
building. but one which was won by
woman in competition with men, shows
not only the progress Of woman, but the
increasing confidence which is being
placed in women in the profession.
Although there is still prejudice
against women architects. all must ad.

wifely instincts. is in many ways emf
nently fitted to plan the conveniences of
home. Therefore, 1t is as the builder
Of homes that woman has achieved the
largest success in the profession. Still,
it seems to me that women should not
be satisfied with the building Of houses,
but should aim to do even greater
things. There are few women archi.
tects whose work has extended to more
ambitious buildings. The New Century
club in Philadelphia was designed by a
woman, whose work includes also a
house for boys private school in Cam
bridge. Another woman designed and
superintended the erection Of the largest
dormitory for Harvard university stu
dents. This dormitory has it's swimming
tank connected by subways with the
main building. This same woman has
built stone church seating over three
thousand people. and she is now erecting
a city club house and has designed sew
eral large fireproof, steel construction
buildings.
A short time ago the contract for pro-
viding plans for model city tenement
house was awarded to firm Of two wo-
men. This firm has also erected hos
pital building in San Francisco.
There is a southern woman who has
designed a seminary in Washington.
and several large buildings. Including a
church and chapel and college building
in Philadelphia.
With the progress which We have
made during the short time that archi-
lecture has been open to women, l be-
lieve that we can eventually make in
this most interesting OF all professions
as great a success as have our sisters in
law and medicine.

The influences Of improved ap-
pllanccs in marine engineering has
been very marked in the past fifty
years, for where in 1854 it required
100 men per 100 tons of shipping, in
1900 it required less than three and a
half men. The economy resulting from
inventions follows in all lines of opera
tlon, particularly in fuel, which has
fallen from five pounds of coal per
horse power per hour to under one

the reduction in space required for

Sir James Paget, the great physi-

cite case Of his as an illustrate of
how Important it is to follow the ply
sician's instructions In even the mi
nuteSt details. He had performed a
dangerous operation on IL patient, and
had given strict orders that he was
not to be disturbed in even the slight
est particular. as his recovery would
depend on absolute rest Of body. A
nurse, a few hours later, disregarding
this order gave the patient a cracker
for which he had asked The patient
ate it, and In doing so scattered few
crumbs In the bed. One Of these got
under his back and tickled him, and
he moved his body to escape il. But
the movement made one Of the liga-
lures slip, and the patient died in CON
sequence. Sir James said that the
little crumb killed the man.

The best exercise in the world is
walking, and this is the most suitable
season Of the year for taking it.
\ person who knows how to walk in
tellgently can get along without a
gymnasium. No other form Of eXer-
else brings so many muscles into play
and develops them so normally.
The most popular games are those
ia which walking forms a prominent
part. Golf, croquet. and in Il sense
cricket. and even bicycling, merely
give an excuse for walking one way
or another.
Every one should know how to walk
properly. Ii is because OF careless.
ness that so many walk badly. The
body should be carried erect, the chest
we'll out, the head back, while the arms
should swing freely at the sides.
The pace should be regulated to ones
strength Every one should walk fast
enough and far enough to get the bot.
in Il comfortable glow.
To get the best results from walk.
Ing one should give his undivided at-
tention to it, In other words. he
should walk for the pleasure Of it. and
not carry worries with him. Exercise
walking is injurious, Never walk
just after heavy meal or after vio-
lent exercise. And after Il walk it is
well TO rest for ten or fifteen minutes
before taking up severe mental work.

Importance Of Matsrraru.

importance OF Waterway.
The great reason behind the pro-
jeeted ship canal through Nicaragua
or the lsthmus of Panama is not one
relating to naval movements, but the
fact that goods may be transported
by water more easily and more cheap
ly than over land. Familiar examples
show the difference. Two mules can
readily draw a hundred tons of eoaT
In Il canal boat, but on land they
would have difficulty in drawing three
or four tons In coal cart rhe
wind, which costs. nothing, can move n
boat of great size but wagons aud
railroad trains cannot move except at
considerable expense. Water-c0rried
freights, therefore, the world over are
cheap, and land freights are dear.
Pittsburg coal and Lake Superior
ores are near together because they
can be transported a great part Of
the distance by water. Stove coal is
usually cheap where it can go by
water and dear where it has to be
carried by rail The commercial view
Of the Panama Canal, therefore, is
the important one.
