Woman Elects Engineering.

Miss Nora Stanton Blatch, grand
daughter of Elizabeth Cady Stanton,
has been appointed n member of the
city's staff of civil engineers in charge
of the $161, 100000 Catskill water
system.
Miss Blatch's appointment was not
due to any pull, but was made on
merit.
Miss Blatch is an unusually pretty
young woman, athletic, active and
fond of outdoor life. She distin-
guished herself two years ago, while
senior at Cornell, by swimming
Cayuga lake, distance of 2 II miles.
The feat was an easy one for her,
and her friends declared at the time
she could have swum the entire dis
lance back
She decided to follow engineering
on entering college, and applied for
membership in the American Society
of Civil Engineers. She was admitted
recently, being the first woman ever
received into that organization.
She is the daughter of Mrs. Harriet
stanton Blatch, a noted New York
club-woman and lecturer, and a
daughter of Elizabeth Cady Stanton.
Mrs. Blatch lived in England for Ii
years.
From her mother she received
training in keeping with the ideals
advocated by Mrs. Stanton, and she
believed that woman was intended to
play more important and useful
part in the scheme of civilization than
she does at present.
Miss Blatch, when seen recently,
said: 81 believe sincerely in the in
teliectual equality of men and wom-
en-, and, since l personally have not
been so fortunate as 20 do anything
that would have been remarked had
I been a man. / strongly object to
any notice being taken of what I have
done. 1t is exceptional for a woman
to undertake civil engineering, but
further than that extremely common

Midshipman's Unifornn In 177e.

The pay of midshipmen was fixed
in November, 177S. at $12 a calendar
month, which was the precise allow
ance made to the ships cook. They
had the distinction, however, of be-
ing the only grade of officers whose
zap did not vary according to the
rate of the vessel in which they
served. We are unable to say if
there was any significance in placing
the midshipman in the pay table of
November Is, 1776, between the
surgeon and gunner-probably they
would have felt more at home be-
tween the purser and boatswain,
whom. they received monthly financial
comfort andF daily practical aid liz

However this may be, X cannot be
doubted that the midsbipman of the
Revolution was a dazzling creature
IL he ever wore the first continental
uniform prescribed for his grade by
the regulations of the Marine Com
mittee of 1875 at Philadelphia, which
consisted OF a blue lapeled coat with
stand-up collar, round cuffs faced
with red, buttons and buttonholes
red. blue breches and red waistcoast.
No mention is made of the headgear,
but it was probably in harmony with
this fiery uniform, indicative per-
haps of the bloody struggle then com
mcnced, and far eclipsing the uniform

NEW YEARS CALLS
A New Drink to Replace the Old
Time "Apple-Jack."

Twenty-Five years ago the custom
of making New Years calls was de-
lightful one for all concerned, until
some Of the boys got more "egg-nog"
or "apple-jack" than they could sue
cessfully carry.
Then the ladies tried to be charita-
bic and the gentlemen tried to be as
chivalrous as ever and stand up at
the same time.
If anyone thinks there has not been
considerable Improvement made in
the last quarter of a century In the
use Of alcoholic beverages, let him
stop to consider, amt lg other things,
the fact that the old custom of New
Years calls and the genteel tipping
is nearly obsolete.
The custom OF calling on ones
friends, however, at the beginning OF
the new year, is a good habit, and
| another good habit to start at that
time is the use OF well-made Postum
instead of coffee or spirits.
A Staten Island doctor has sensi-
bic daughter who has set Postum be-
fore her guests as a good thing to
drink at Yule Tide. and a good way
to begin the New Year. Her father
writes:

Two policemen got there just in time

to the roof and hid behind the water

A Million Pounds of Turkey.

The annual feast of turkey was
greater and a more expensive feast
Thursday than in many years. 1t
was estimated by an expert that in
Greater New York a million pounds
of turkey were eaten; that the cost
of the feast was from 20 to 80
cents pound, and that if the turk
eys were packed in rows eight deep
they would fill the roadways and the
promenade of the Brooklyn Bridge
from end to end. More than seven
thousand charges of the municipality
Toasted on the noble bird under the
supervision of the Department of
Charities. Twenty-six hundred men
and women sat down to a bountiful
feast of turkey and chicken stew on
Blackwells Island, and in the Metro
politan Hospital 20oO patients and
500 employees had a fine Thanksgiv-
Ing dinner. The change from prev
tous years was that that were no

Less activity is noted in the hide

and quiet continue to characterize
the leather market, the only activity
