Learned Scholar Dead.

The man who In our times has had
the widest acquaintance with the liter
ature of the time Of Shakespeare died
a few days ago in London. He was
Mr.. w. f. Craig. His learning was
marvellous and his scholarship pro
found. He had made extensive prep
arations for an exhaustive Shake
speare Lexicon, with illustrations from
all the literature Of that period But
the finest fruit Of a life devoted to
study was his work on the Dcwden'
edition of Shakespeare, in the general
editorship Of which he was associated
with Prof. Edward Dowden, Of Trinity
college, and in which he edited person
ally with supreme success King Lear
1t will be difficult to find a worthy sue
cessor to Mr.. Craig for the superin-
tendence of the several volumes in
the edition which remain to be printed.

CLAIM STRANGE GIFT.

They claim that the distinctive mark
of this power is the fact that no one
receiving the gift can use it for any
other than purposes of exhortation.
Frequently the inspired person speaks
in language totally unknown to him
self, they say, and makes an exhorta-
tion understood only by some one Of
a foreign nationality who happens to
be in the audience.
Occasionally one Of the members
will speak in a language unknown to
any one present. AS a result of this
wonderful power they expect to send
abroad missionaries to China and
India.
The case regarded as the most re-
markable among the believers is that
of Miss Mabel Smith. a girl Of Is,
whose home is In Galveston, Tex. To
her has been given the power to speak
Is languages, one for every year Of
her life, and they think that as she
adds years she will acquire Ian
guages.
Another notable case is that of Miss
Evelyn Schippie. II, who speaks alto
gether in the Chinese language She
has never previously been able t
speak this language, and has never
heard it spoken.

The German universities whose
doors were first opened to women
were filled with eager Russian stu
dents, and the professors continually
pointed as examples to the young men
the astounding progress and working
capacity of these new women.
Girls threw off the yoke Of home
life, women who felt that marriage
de convenience" was not noble, just
state, left their husbands. 1t is to
be regretted that the reckless en-
thusiasm knew no bounds, but let it
be said in their favor that the ma
jority Of this great lawless class w2s
vigorously moral.
To Russia belongs the distinction
OF having the first woman physicians.
One OF the first and best. Nadezhda
Susloff. was born a serf and was freed
with her parents at the emancipation
in 1861.
Medical courses for women were
opened in connection with the mill
tary medical academy In 1872, and
during the Russo-Turhsh war the
women were found SO competent that
after proper examination they re
ceived imperial permission to bear
the title women physicians"

BELIEVERS ASSERT THEY CAN
SPEAK ALL LANGUAGES.
Power Can Only Be Used for Purpose
Of Exhortation-Wh Holy Ghost
Came Church Members Fell
Down and Winds Roared.

Denver, Col.-This city has been
the home Of strange religions and
some bizarre manifestations of relig-
ious belief. The Schlatter incident of
1895 still causes people to talk and
wonder, and the Sun Worshipers Of
two years ago are not forgotten. But
the strangest claim yet made by any
body of believers is that Of the Chris
tian Assembly church members, who
say they have been granted the Apos-
tolic gift of many tongues, and that
they can speak all kinds of Ian
guages, which they have never before
heard.
They assert that a great majority
of the 600 languages in existence to-
day have been used by their members
in their little church on Welton street
under the leadership of Divine inspi-
ration.

There is a wide field Of work in
Russia covered by an inexhaustible
number OF charitable organizations
and private effort. Numbers of rich
women devote much Of their energy
and time TO facilitate the education
OF the peasants in the villages which
once belonged to their estates. In
fact, there is hardly an estate owner
in Russia who does not materially
benefit the peasants by the aid OF
private free schools, or helpful insti.
tutions of some kind.
And is this not the. best method Of
reaching and helping the ignorant,
giving an example Of untiring faith
in the ultimate perfection of mankind,
working toward the ideal, teaching
mercy, purity and humanity?

There is a distinct lack OF asser-
tiveness, a calm consciousness OF
strength in the Russian woman, I'M
disputed, apparently approved by the
men. There is saying in Russia de-
scribing very delicately the depend
ence of each on the other: Men are
the heads, but women are the necks."
The extraordinarily good educa-
ton received by so many Russian
women In the institutes for more
than a century was great founda-
ton for the widespread desire for
higher education which has reached
all classes in its sweep across the
country.
To quote still another Russian au-
thor: Let women have every chance,
every right that men have-equal ed.
ucation, equal everything, for the
woman of larger mold, the woman
capable of lofty ambition, will come
to the front anyway, her influence
cannot be repressed, and will be val
liable. All the laws and prejudice Of
the world cannot keep hes back II

1t was through the energy and In

Of women in the broad sense was be

Material About Women's Education
In Russia" by Mime. E. o. Lerhachef.
which work received honorable men.
ton from the imperial academy.
The paper begins with the popular
movement toward the education Of
women in 1850 to 1860. stimulated by
Grand Duchess Helena Pavlovna
and Baroness Raden. In 1857 the
first woman's gymnase was founded
at Kostroma Before this there were
schools called institutes-schools still
existing Of higher order. where the
daughters OF families of a certain por-
tion are educated for a very small
sum. the highest price being 400
rubles, or 200 American dollars, a
year. including board.
The Oldest and most aristocratic OF
these institutions in St. Petersburg
was founded By Catherine the Great.
Thus an extremely thorough educa-
tion has been given vast numbers OF
Russian women of the upper classes
for more than a century.
In 1853 followed the opening OF
the first free school for women by
an engineer, Koscinsky. and In 1853
what were called Sunday schools for
girls OF the poorer classes who had
no other leisure, we're founded by
Nine. Schpiegelsky.
Very soon followed the opening Of
public schools in certain villages for
the coeducation Of peasant boys and
girls after the liberation of the serfs
The percentage Of girls sent to these
schools was i to 300 At present there
are more than 1,O57.4S0 girls in these
public schools. In St Petersburg
alone there are eight high schools fol
girls.
