WOMAN ENGINEER.

A woman who harnesses streams to
develop mines, superintends the con-
struction of immense power plants, and
finances a million dollar corporation is
Mrs. Eva 7. Tut. of Prescott, Ariz.,
the general manager of the Arizona
Power Company, which is engaged In
a scheme to supply electrical power
to several of the big mines in North
ern Arizona, says the Philadelphia
Ledger. Three millions of dollars are
invested in the business, and it was
Mrs. TUFTS brain and ability that en-
gineered the project from a theory to
a half completed reality.
About eighteen months ago the first
steps were taken in the establishment
of an electric power plant of 5000
horse power on Fossil creek for the
generation and transmission of cleo
tricity to Prescott, a distance of fifty
seven miles.
IRE plant and the lines will be own
e. nd operated by the Arizona Power
Company, which has contracted with
the Arizona Construction Company for
the completion of the work at a cost

FORBIDDEN MARRIAGES.

On the last page of the book of COM
mon prayer of the Church of England
is a list of the marriages that are
forbidden by the ecclesiastical au-
thoritiess on the ground of too close re-
lationship and which, beginning with
an inth nation that man may not
marry his grandmother nor a woman
her grandfather, have often excited
hilaritY, says an exchange. While it
is perfectly we'll known that any I'M
ion contracted in defiance of these dis
abilities is not merely voidable,
but actu ally Void-men who have mar
ried the sisters of their dead wives find
ing that these unions are not recogniz-
ed by Iawy, by church and by society in
England and that any children born
thereto are illegitimate-it is not gener-
ally known that marriages within the
prohibited degrees of relationship are
actually punishable by Imprisonment as
we'll as by actual public penance and
communication decreed by the eccle-
siastical courts.
1t is perfectly true that while the
ecclesiastical courts possess the power
to in1icE these penalties. they have
not, SO far as 1 can recall, ever made
use of them, realizing probably that it
would be contrary to popular senti-
ment and that imprisonment for Of
lenses passed upon by the ecclesiasti-
cal courts is out of keeping with mod
ern ideas and times.
1 may add in conclusion that not
alone ar%a marriages with the dead
wife's sister null and void, but even
the marriage with the dead wife's niece,
unions Of this kind being among the
prohibited degrees of relationship
which, drawn up by Archbishop Parker
and formerly canonical law, are now
also part and parcel of the civil law
of England.

COLoRING IN FASHION.

While accessory colorings were never
richer or more varied, Dame Fashion
commends quite sober tones for the
brickwork of costume; and this is as
it should be, for it is the sober fabric
that gives the pretty vitalizing note
of accessory color it's chance. says a
writer in the Westminster Gazette. 1
have lust seen a bundle of winter col
orings, principal and accessory, and
am charmed with the Whims l ind
there. This bundle dates from most
artistic firm, and, taking first the
quieter coiorngs Chat one would adj
wise for what l call the brickwork of
a costume), one is fascinated with, for
instance, A bulrush brown-such a
charming greenish brown, that in
clines to green just as a snuff brown
inclines to red.
And then there is a shade called
mushroom-such possible tone for
mauves or vivid pinks or turquoise as
accessories-a fascinating, sober and
unusual tone. And then, near akin,
there is moleskin color. A term born
of the mania for moleskin coats which,
having by no means died out, will re-
suit in moeskin colored cloths of
many kinds to provide skirts to match
the coats.
1t is quite recognized now that a fur
coat and the skirt worn Herewith
should fall into line with each other,
just as do the coat and skirt of the
tailor costume. Among these cloths L
find brown absolutely Identifying it
self with sealskin, and another perfect
for mink, and grays of many shades,
suggesting squirrel and chinchilla and
astrakhan, and among these grays
there is that new tone, that dark gray
H. I1l ola ut ~
London smoke, or dark stone-which-
ever name you please--which is par
ticularly pleasing, and has to be treat
ed quite differently from the pale,
cold tones of gray.
Pale grays always ask for a light
and delicate handling, with laces and
accessory tones pale and cool also; but
this dark stone gray has a stronger
digestion and loves a vivid accessory
"a hat, for instance, massed with
vivid pinks or with shaded mauves or
shaded yellows or the brightest tur-
quoise blue; and it is this affinity for
the vitalizing accessory tones that
should make this new dark gray a
great favorite this coming winter.
In planning a winter costume with
an eye to ones whole effect from top
to toe, one meditates whether to have
a hat carrying out the main color of
a costume. or that of the accessory
in the embroideries, or the blouse worn
herewith. 1t is not a question of good
or of bad taste, but of expediency and
the becoming Some faces look bet
ter with the whole surrounding of one
color, while others are improved by
the breaking in of bright, contrasting
notes in the hat. etc.
And then the color itself enters into
the question in another way In dark
gray or brown, for instance, whole
framework can be very becoming, but
in dark blue or black or purple or
green the result might not be quite
so happy. Such matters are, however,
best settled by actual experiment and
the aid of the ever faithful mirror
and a second opinion. There are
charms in both schemes of arrange
ments, only it must be remembered
that with an all-one-color scheme
there should be play of texture and
surface.

A BINGHAM DRESS.

Little Miss Margaret came out from
town.
And wore such very lovely gown
That it made Elizabeth AIMS heart
sink
To think she had only bingham pink.
But when they went out to play-oh,
dear!
Elizabeth Ann thought it very queer,
For they couldn't do this and they
couldn't do that.
Because Miss Margaret might ruin her
hat
They couldn't play at all near the wat
er line.
Miss Margaret's shoes were so very
fine:
They couldn't make pies, nor sail their
boats.
Nor even dress UP in their fathers
coats.
And why? Because, as you'll easily
Miss Margaret wore such a dainty
They couldn't skip, and they couldn't
run.
Nor have the tiniest speck OF fun.
But all day long they sat in state.
And they couldn't do nothin' but draw
on a slate: --
SO they drew, and drew, and drew,
and drew.
Till there wasn't nothin' left they
I knew.

HEROIC EFFORTS.
Punch.

For no class should there be more
sympathy than for the young house
keepers who are trying their best to
make limited income cover the thous-
and and one expenses of daily life,
says the Chicago Record-Herald. The
Toung wife is apt to blame herself be-
cause a dollar does not contain more
than 100 cents, and to wonder how she
can put aside that something for a
rainy day which gives such peace OF
mind.
When first married the husband
pro badly set aside whatever he could
afford for little expenses. At first
this seemed sufficient, and the house,
wife could put away little OCCASION

Always brings.
But in two or three years every
thing changes; the demands of one
week encroach upon the next and the
saving of a dollar or two is impossi-

Herein lies the difficulty-that while
the allowance made to the wife re-
mains stationary the demands upon
first year or two is always the cheap
est. For one thing, little, if any, new
clotE ing is required. The brides
trtusiseau acts as a basis from which,
at small expense, hats and cloaks may
be evolved
During the first two years, also, the
furniture and cooking utensils being
ne;trly new, repairs and additions
am cunt to very small item.
Often, too the little one comes, but
the allowance remains the same, and

seldom realizes this. While he works
no harder, comparatively, one year
than the other, each year of married
life brings to the wife new expert

The eternal Feminine.

When mid Victorian fashions failed
To tempt the laggard lover,
Our grandmammas in sorrow walled
Their weakness to discover;
And modes arrived, and altered fast
Until at length was seen,
In all its glory wide and vast,
The Crinoline!
But tickle man was never yet
Content with present blisses,
And woman's wit anew was set
To reinforce her kisses;
While Cupid simply stood apart
And watched the mental tussle,
Until in Fashions shifting mart
Appeared the Bustle!
Alas! the struggle even then
Was only just beginning,
For still the ranks of single men
Are far too slowly thinning.
And now. to match the low-cut wear
That eve to Eve allows,
Behold by day the open-air
Pneumonia Blouse!

MOTORING WON EN-.

For some time past it has been no
ticed that the motoring women are all
plain in appearance and those who
were once classed among the beauties,
or were at least attractive, have be-
come coarse of feature and many of
them positively homely says the Chi
cago Chronicle. Motoring is itself, how
ever, is not beauty destroyer; 1t is
the excess of the pastime that is per-
nicious. Moderate motoring, by i'm
proving health aud the capacity for
sleep, enhances a woman's charm, but
the hardened tourist type of $50 miles
a day tans and coarsens her skin and
gets crows feet around her eyes: her
face loses it's soft womanly contour,
and gains hardness and determination.

Progress of Manual Train
 ing in the Public Schools.


 The "new education" manual training in the Birmingham schools and the work of the Birmingham Free Kinder garten association were the subjects of interesting discussion the past week. On Friday, the Cadmean Circle devoted the entire afternoon to a discussion on man. ual training, Mrs. J. D. Kirkpatrick, Mrs. James A. Going and Mrs. Cyrus Pittman speaking on this branch of edu- cation. Dr. Anna Shaw of Philadelphia, who was the<Guest of the Circle, also gave short talk on manual training work in other cities, and referred espe- cially to the fine progress of the work in Santiago de Cuba.
 Yesterday, the Woman's club devoted the entire afternoon to talks on kinder garten work. Mrs. Orr, president of the Birmingham Free Kindergarten associa- ton, Miss Snyder superintendent of the kindergarten, Mrs. J. H. Phillips, Miss Gelders and Miss Margaretta Williams being invited to talk of the progress of kindergarten work in this city.
 This desire to increase the relation that exists between the clubs and educational institutions by discussions on these re- spective subjects will bring about splen- did results, and especially when the work is presented by women so capable of bringing out the most essential features, without going over any tresome ground. The board of education and every person directly concerned with educational pro- gress in Birmingham will be interested in the report of the committee from the Cadmean Circle, on manual training in the Birmingham public schools, which calls attention to the splendid progress that has been made in the two years since 1t was incorporated in the public school system.
 This committee, of which Mrs. James A. Going was chairman, included Mrs C. r. Orr and Mrs. J. II. Phillips. Arti- cles representing the work done in the manual training departments were ex- hibited at the meeting of the Circle, and the club women expressed great interest in the work. Specimens of rafia work and basket weaving were shown. to- gether with paper boxes and other de- | signs which represented ingenuity and in- l telligent work.
 l Mrs Going in her report, told of the | chart work done in the first grade at the l Paul TIayne school and she explained the manual training features in the more | advanced grades. She then told of the | visit of the committee to the negro high school and exhibited specimens of the work including had-sawed work and the l carpentry department
 Mrs. Going. in calling attention to the progress of manual training in the schools of this city said that it was en- tirely due to the efforts of Dr. J. H. Philips.

Phillips is a home missionary. and a visit to the colored high school will re- veal what is being done here in Birming- ham to improve the conditions of the negro race.

The WOman's Exchange
 And fhe Church Markers

The question was asked yesterday if the church markets conducted on Saturdays were in any way taking patronage from the Woman's Exchange. Several of the churches conduct markets every Satur- day, where cakes and breads of all kinds are for sale, the women in the various churches working with their characteristic enterprise to make these markets success full. It is natural that the members of the different churches should desire to patronize their respective markets, but re- gret Is being expressed that so many mar
 kets similar to the one at the Exchange are being conducted, since the Woman's s Exchange is the only place of it's kind in the city where gentlewomen forced to earn their own livelihood can dispose of their cakes and breads. Many of these women consignors are the only means of support of their families and are depen- dent entirely upon the profits to be de- rived from the Exchange But compe- ttion is lessening the patronage of the Exchange and this means Encouragement bordering, in some cases, to hopelessness.
