THE HEROINE OF LUCKNOW.
Death of Lady Tngils, Who Kept a
Diary During the Siege.

Diary During the Siege.
An interesting figure in English his
tory has passed away in the person of
Lady Inglis, who died at her residence,
II Rectory road, Beckenham, after a
short illness.
Lady Julia Selma Inglis was the sec.
ond daughter Of the first Lord Chelms-
ford and was born in 1888.
She was the widow Of the famous
defender Of the British residency at
Lucknow, Sir John Eardley Nvilmot
Inglis, X. G. B., who died in 1882, and
ia memory Of whose services in the
Indian Euhny she had been in receipt
OF pension.
Lady Inglis herself went through
the siege of Lucknow, and i'll addition
to the terrors of the siege and the sub
sequent journey to the coast she was
shipwrecked on the voyage home to
England.
She afterward published the diary
she kept during her eventful life in the
besieged city, where her husband, then
Brigadier Inglis, commanded the garri-
son throughout the eighty-seven days
the place was invested.
She describes the entrance into the
residency, on day when glad shouts
rang through the tortured city, of "a
short, quiet-looking, gray-haired man,
wnom | knew at once was General
Havelock. He shook hands with me
and said he feared that we had suf-
fered great deal.

command "Haltv' hang out into the
night.
Lady Inglis had Il baby with her at
this time, and thus she writes: 81

my anxiety lest baby should commence

On the way to England her ship was

Some time ago woman who has
helped many people to see the wonders
of the world about them told friend
how her own eyes were opened. One
summer she happened to be spending
a few days at the same hotel with a
certain naturalist. His enthusiasms
did not interest her at all; the progress
Of the embroidery which she had
brought with her for pickup work"
was Of far greater concern to her than
all the miracles Of June. But one
morning. seeing him eagerly searching
the ground under her window, she
leaned out and asked curiously: "What
do you find so absorbing down there?"
Come out and seev he called, in reply.
Why she did it she could not tell. Per
haps, after all, the call of the day was
too great to be resisted. She threw
aside her embroidery and went out.
That embroidery was never finished,
for the world of delight she discovered
that day changed her whole life. She
bought books and microscope, and be-
with her children, then with other peo-
pie. After a while she began to write,
and the writing brought her new
friends and the introduction to scien-
tific clubs and societies. A score of
fresh interests filled her days, inter
ests which she met easily with the re-
newed health won from the long outof-
doors hours. She lived, in short, new
life in the midst of the new heaven
and earth to which her eyes had been
opened. There are thousands of them
who need to release tired eyes from
their petty, eXacting, needless tasks, to
straighten tired backs, and to let the
fresh air in upon their lives. The high
est city walls cannot wholly bar out
nature. She visits city roofs and streets
and yards as freely as the country
hedgerows. All that she asks is an
opportunity to reveal her treasures of
health and joy; her constant cry is,
"Come out and see!'

VaSSar needs more ROOM The crowd
ing is SO dense that in the class where
100 girls can be accommodated there
are $50 applicants, and more coming.
And other colleges that make a special
ty of training tie female mind are also
prospecting. The girl is determined to
secure an education. She has discov
cred that while her lot in life may,
and probably will, be to Eecome the
wife of some good man, and that she
will need to know more of nursing bot
ties and what to do when the baby has
collie than about Greek verbs, education
is capital, for the man in his Office and
the woman in her home There was a
time when married woman was not
expected to know the things found in
while to teach her to read. She was
either an ornament or slave. Now,
even the man of few attainments and
rough manners is proud of the intel
lect Of his wife. Beauty is no longer
her sole recommendation. She can talk
knowingly. She had read books and
the world. She is better mother for
the learning she has secured and hap
pier woman. The man who would dis
courage the educating Of women would
be deemed an enemy to civilization. In
the United States there are about LAO
colleges for women. Not one too many.
The ambition that fills them with
eager young women is laudable- There
is much in the higher education, and
the country that makes most of the
brains OF it's women can never be bad
country. 1t is a hopeful sign that thou
sands of young women are anxiously
willing to devote the butterfly period of
their lives to the securing Of knowl-
edge.
