out what would really have been civil
war is received with general relief.
The fear Of such war seemed in the
circumstances unreasonable; perhaps
it was so, but it cannot be denied that

plicable. Now, however, it has been
happily removed.
When the King of Sweden has ap-
proved the terms of the treaty for pre-
sentation to the Rigsdag it can be full

scope of the arbitration is a compro-
mise between Sweden's limited and
Norway's wider proposals, and the

gard to the independence Of the Scandi-
navian Peninsula. The people Of
Sweden have suspended judgment on
the agreement until the terms of the
settlement are understood.

girls at Vassar College observed an
eclipse.
On the evening of October I, 1S4T,
Maria slipped away from guests in the
parlor of the old house and ran up to
the telescope OH the roof. Presently
she came hurrying down to tell her
Gather that she thought she had dis
co-ered a comet With the slow COM
munication of those days it was long
before she could be sure that hers had
been the first eye to see it; but so it
proved. The King Of Denmark, six
teen years before, had offered gold
medal to the first discoverer of a tele-
scopic comet. He had died, but his
son, Frederick VII, fulfilled his faith
er's promise, and in due time the medal
came over the sea to the young as
tronomer. 1t forms q curious link be-
tween the Old World enthusiasm for
science and the New World woman,
who treasured a tribute from King
In her three-by-four study on the Sec
ond floor of the Nantucket house.
Until 1865 she worked away with
the tremendous industry which cnarac-
terized her at the various occupations
which village life offered. She was
librarian of the Athenaeum. She made
constant observations of the heavens
and calculations from them. She toiled
for days in the effort to adjust the
cross-hairs of her telescope, which had
been broken. She cooked and cleaned
Cor the family when service failed.
In short, she was always ready to
help.
In 1865 she was called to Vassar
College, and for twenty years there
she made q deep impression upon the
developing plans for wOmens educa-
ton, and at the same time built up a
reputation for genuine scholarship. To-
day her hundreds of students make pill
grimages to the Nantucket house, and
rejoice that it is to be preserved as a
memorial Of nature which somewhat
resembled it in its simplicity and its
Strength.-YouthS Companion.

woman sitting all day at a street cor

how the Secretary of the Treasury
should run the national finances. I
have never seen woman go fishing

MARIA kATCRELL'S HOME.

The old house in Nantucket where
Maria Mitchell was born is probably
the only house on this continent which
Is preserved on account of being the
birthplace Of q woman.
The Maria Mitchell Association was
formed three years ago, has purchased
the house, installed an admirable cura-
tor in it, and is making collection
there of objects which belonged to
Miss Mitchell. Of the fora and fauna
Of Nantucket, and OF books Of science.
Maria Mitchell was born in 1878.
The house where the family lived Oh
VestaE street, Nantucket, was square
one, with a huge central chimney.
There was small, lean-to kitchen, and
a back yard Of fair size, as we'll as a
front yard, with beds of old-fashioned
flowers.
Mr.. Mitchell was an enthusiastic as
tronomer, and his children were early
taught to count seconds for him by the
chronometer, and tc consider the study
Of the heavens the most interesting
possible. In the little back yard he
had his seXtant, and bore were brought
to him for adjustment the chronome-
ters of the whaling ships Of the town.
At the time Of the eclipse Of the sun
in 1881 the window was taken out OF
the little pallor, the telescope mounted
in front Of it, and with the twelve
year-old Maria counting the seconds,
Mr.. Mitchell observed the eclipse.
Fifty-four years later she counted the
seconds again, while her class Of eager
