Yankton, S. D., Oct. 5.-Dakin Han,

an alarm and they succeeded in putting
out the flames, not until the room had
been badly scorched, however.

II was the great eclipse OF August u.
1860, that turned Tycho Brahe into an
astronomer. He was in his fourteenth
year at the time, a Danish boy of noble
origin, and had been destined first for
the army and then for the law. But
the accuracy with which the eclipse
was predicted impressed him with the
belief that astronomy was a divine
thing, n thencefoTWard he devoted
his life to it. The debt of astronomy to
Tycho Brahe, not only for his own
work but as the man who shaped the
genius Of Kepler, can scarcely be over
estimated.

For and About the Women Folks

She is said to have designed more OF these
rugs than any other man or woman in the
country.
The predicted difficulty Of making prac-
tical designs is one which Miss Marshall
has never experienced. The first design
submitted TO the firm which now employs
her was practical. Neither has she per-
ceived any falling on in her ideas. on the
contrary she has found the possibilities Of
the field imitiess.
1.-THE originality Of her designs is almost
startling" says an admirer Of her work.
after the genius Of ages has been lavished
on Indian rugs one would think that their
possibilities would have been exhausted.
Yet Miss Marshall produces effects that
seem quite new. II is her ambition to rival
the ancient art OF India, and she gets effects
such as are expected only as the result of
time"
Miss Marshall is a graduate Of the New
York School OF Applied Design for Women
and had no artistic training until she went
there, yet from the beginning she took a
leading place in her classes and during
her course carried of many prizes. She
took up rug designing for financial reasons,
putting OF till a more convenient season
her ultimate object of painting pictures.
Yet she says she has found in her work
complete artistic satisfaction. She often
designs interior decorations to harmonic
with her rugs, and always prepares her own
colors which the chemist in India, where
the rugs are woven, copies
Miss Marshall Is not the only woman en-
gagged in this branch Of applied art. but II
is said that no other woman in this coun-
try ever got such high prices for her work
as she. 1t is a common complaint among
women designers that rug designing does
not pay, and Miss MaSshall thinks that any
woman wishing to enter the field would be
told just what she was told half dozen
years ago. Nevertheless she is convinced
that any woman who can make good de-
signs will find her place. The demand for

To the uninitiated the designing of rugs
would probably not appear TO be an occupa-
ton for which men should have any special
qualifications that women do not possess.
Nevertheless, the designers of rugs are gem
orally men, and when young woman, Miss
Emma Ray Marshall made inquiries as to
the opportunities of the field, about half a
dozen years ago, she was told that there
were absolutely none for a woman. Fur
Their inquiries as to why this should be so
ELECTED only the vague general statement
that the work was always done by men,
and the more particular intimatlon that
women couldn't. make practical designs and
that no matter how good their ideas might
be at first they invariably gave out after
a few years work
Miss Marshall did not see the force Of
this reasoning and, undiscouraged by the
quantities of cold water poured on her
project, she persisted I'm learning rug-malS-
ing. Today her beautiful floor coverings
are to be found in homes of wealth all over
the country.
She has made a speciality Of Indian rugs,
because this is considered to be the most
difficult branch of the art, and her en-
ployes do not wish her to waste her time
on easy things that other people can do.
