Four Great Women.

There are four women who ought to
be brought to public notice while they
are still In active life. One Is the moth
er of the DR.. Osler, who, already a Gel
ebrated physician, became famous by
reason OF being credited with the state
ment that man does not grow in power
after 40, and that his usefulness ceases
at go.
Mrs. Osler has Just celebrated her
one hundredth birthday. She has reared
four very distinguished sons and one
daughter, has twenty six grandchildren
and one great-grandchild, and is still
leading useful and comparatively ac-
tive life. Another is Mrs. Mary E.
Farrell, who has just ended her one
hundred and third year.
She has reared eleven children, has
fifteen grandchildren and twelve great
grandchildren. She has never been i'll
a day in her life, is still daily worker
about the house, active in body and
witty in mind. A third is Mrs Susan
Askey, who on her one hundred and
first birthday went to church in an
automobile, made an address to the
audience, and held a reception in the
evening. She also has borne eleven
children.
The fourth is Mrs. Franklin Cottle,
who at 90 years of age went through
thrilling experiences at the late San
Francisco disaster, arrived fresh and
strong in New York week or two
later, and now, as erect as at 20 and
as alert as at 60, she Is about to start
on a 2o0-mile automobile ride from
| New York to Boston.-The Delineator

emerge victorious; 1t is here, IL any
where that marriage becomes not the
mere union of one party to another,
the one superior, the other inferior,
but a meeting Of couls, one with the
other, so that their original and sep
arate Identity is lost, and there APP
pears instead a new and dual creature,
the married pair, Invested Of the faults
and composed Of the excellencies of the
originals of both. This ideal condition
of marriage is perhaps not fully at
tained even among the middle classes,
but 1t certainly approaches it more
nearly there than elsewhere. And, as
society, throughout the distant ages
gradually perfects its form by becom-
ing homogeneous, so will the perfect
marriage, now, also, too rare, become
the universal heritage of our race.

MiddIe-Ascd Woman In Society.

Middle-Aged Woman In Society.
An entertaining old lady whose
friendship l enjoyed used to say, with
some Enpatience: Because the Lord
saw fit to remove Banbury Is no rea-
son why should be invited to moth
Ing but women's lunches" Not but that
she mourned the late Banbury most
sincerely, but her active mind chafed
at narrowness Of environment
which accentuated her loneliness. In
fact, 1t Is a hardship to be condemned
to a one-sided social life, and 1t Is a
misfortune which happens to many
middle-aged women and need scarcely
ever happen to a man Of any age; for
ordinarily a man can have as much
feminine society as he chooses, but
what will the neighbors say about an
elderly woman who announces that in
order to preserve whole and healthy
view of life she must seek the society
Of men?
1t will hardly be disputed that the
exclusively feminine Is worse than the
exclusively masculine point of view.
True, one sometimes hears of the petty
falling Of certain classes of men
heroes at sea, for instance, who never
theless, owing to that isolated life,
become fussy and domineering when
they regain the shelter Of the domestic
fireside and the tales of Bret Harte
and his followers have famlliarized us
with the rude heroes Of the mining
camp and the plains. But does the
naval officer, welded to law, or the
miner, divorced from 1t, show as great
a departure from the normal human
other women?
OF course, there are as many points
of view as there are men and women I;
one should always remember that
underneath all there is the human
point Of view, and that people resem-
BILE each other more than they differ !;
yet, when all allowances have been
made, some well-recognized dissimilari-
ties do seem to be fundamental. Ev-
erybody knows, for instance, that a
woman has not usually much sense of
proportion but as to that, does every
body realize how destructive to a sense
Of proportion of purely domestic life
is-that life which. for so long, consti-
tuted a woman's all Of living7 Perhaps

cumulated things Possibly at that

attention on herself. For the averagt
woman is inclined to take herself quite
seriously .-Scribner Magazine.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS."



Their are few things that rouse the
Swiss inhabitants Of Alpine villages to
contemptuous anger so much as the
spectacle Of ignorant tourists anxious
to attack the unknown heights
of dangerous mountains. These villag-
ers have spent their lives among the
mountains, and realize their perils.
When they see some stupid newcomer
starting out alone on what may be moth
ing less than a suicidal venture, says
the London Express, they say to each
other, Another NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. :"

means purchases an ice-ax. One day I

Device for Quickly Making Perfor-
ated Patterns and Stencils.
An electric machine for quickly
making perforated paper patterns and
stencils has been invented by a New
York man, and is shown in the illustra-
ton below. Formerly this work was
done by hand, the process being very
slow. In using the apparatus several
sheets of comparatively thin paper are
secured on a plan surface, the upper
sheet having a light tracing in pencil
mark Of the design to be perforated.
The machine can be freely moved
around on the upper sheet, the design
being followed with the tracing point,
which rotates up and down like the
needle on sewing machine. The
needle perforates the several sheets at
one time, duplicates being thus secured

"Why are you always strutting about

A Chinarnan wished to enter his boy

establishment in question one day
along with his little boy. The follow

to the reception room, and both he and
the teacher shook their own hands and
bowed profoundly. Then the teacher
asked:
"May inquire your honorable
name"
my mean, Insignificant name is

Tea and a water pipe are sent for,
and the teacher politely suggests !:

The Chinese slipped and pulled for
perhaps a quarter Of an hour before he
observed to the teacher that he should
be overjoyed to learn the latter's "hon-
orable name"
This was the teachers cue to reply,

The little fellow, who had been

AS to the tailor-mades for spring and
summer, season of light colors is
imminent Materials all along the line
of worsteds, cheviots, serges and their
kind proclaim it. Lovely effects are
found in the serges and cheviOts Of
white ground traversed with stripes Of
many widths from hair lines up. Stripes
are very conspicuous in all showings
OF dress goods, although it cannot be
said that checks and blocks seem to
have lost any ground. The white
grounds are striped or cross-checked
with soft browns, steel, black, ETC., and
in some of the pieces touches of color
are introduced.
Black frocks are to be much in evil
dence this season and a number of
beautiful models are decorated princi-
pally with laces, usually two or three
kinds, but little good embroidery in
skillfully harmonized colors gives a
French air to a fine black gown that Is
most desirable. Black linens and cot
tons are prettiest in soft fabrics and
the embroidered swisses are exquisite.
One unusually effective pattern has a
black ground, striped with closely set
hairlines Of white, and is sprlnkled with
tiny sprays Of lilacs. 1t Is charming for
a second mourning costume, or makes
up effectively with bits of blue satin.
At last the right material has beer
generally adopted for the foundation OF
the elaborate pailletted frock. Hereto

Bantam trees, perhaps you know,
On the nursery floor can grow.
Troops of monkeys, half the day,
In the great wide branches play,
Frolic and make friends with you
If your aunty tells them to!
I've had measles, SO you see

Right behind the nursery door;
Makes an elephant poke his head
Through the window near my bed;
Makes the nursery somehow look
Like a lovely picture book.

Moon Shadows.


Many persons cannot understand why
the shadow made by an object In moon
light is darker than the shadow made
in sunlight. The difference Is due to
the fact that the light Of the moon Is
not SO strong as that of the sun. AS
light travels always in straight line.
a shadow, either In moonlight or in
sunlight, would be intensely black were
1t not for the dispersed and reflected
rays around the shadow. The dark
ness Of the shadow is reduced by these
reflected rays, and as the rays of sun
light are stronger and brighter than
those Of moonlight, they reduce the
darkness more. 1t Is the dispersion
and even distribution of the SUMS rays
through space, and their reflection from
the dust particles Of the air, that make
daylight.
