Lovely Woman.

This is the ladies' age. The re il
no installing the fact, and in spite OF
fate she is going to play no second
fiddle in the near future The ladies,
bless 'em. can do anything nowadays
but fish, and already they are wonder
fully proficient in that art even-aS
far as suckers are concerned. The
lady never say can't except when she
means won't, and when she says Il
will" you a bet your neck she is
going to, if she has to sell the family
bible to do it. The woman OF today
is a different beiEg from the woman
of fifty years ago. The shrinking,
trembling, weeping heroineS of Thack-
cray and Dickens have disappeared.
1t is better that it is so. For my
part, l prefer the Becky Sharps to the
Amelia Sedleys. Not only has the
woman of today shaken off those old
time weaknesses, not only has she as
Sumed d stern independence, which
to some is we'll nigh diSheartening,
but she has made her determination
known to the world, has waved it de-
family in our faces in the shape or
certain signs and symbols which have
a tendency to add emphasis to her
emancipation.
Another thing: A woman can go
shopping and save at least a hundred
dollars in spending fifty. Oh, indeed.
is is wonderful how much the average
woman can save when she goes shop
ping. 1t is, really! She is SO saving,
She would gladly spend five dollars
for the mere pleasure of saving fifty
cents. Then, she car make fancy
work. 1t il simply wonderful what
the average woman "a do in that d.
rectiOn. She will embroider a dolly |
for a church fair, using fifty cents
worth Of material. and at least al
weeks solid labor and she will be de-
lighted when she hears that some
generous purchaser bought it for Isl
cents on account Of the good Gauss.
We hear a great deal of complaint
from women about the poor wages
paid, and the low value set on wom-
ans work. But my dear woman, il
is you who have set the value on your
labor. When a woman is willing to
spend three months spare time in or
der to save a few cents a yard by
making her own carpet, is it any won
der that her labor is considered cheap.

Great Seulpiors Source Of Inspiration

had a fountain in his studio, which
he declared to be the source Of bis in-
spiration, and when he returned TO-
America be missed the sound Of the
trickling waters. It occurred to him
that a substitute for the genii In the
fountain might be obtained by tying
down the faucet in the layatory and
thus have a constant flow Of Eoul-in-
spring aqua, a delightful accompani-
ment to hard work
The arrangement worked very well,
and the delusion was perfect SO far
as sound, II not sight, was concerned.
Work progressed rapidly and well with
the inspiration of the genii IN the
faucet, and the day came when the
finished work must be removed to 9th
er quarters, which removal required
the assistance of the janitor. The
sculptor rang the bell for that dusky
person, and after repeated summons
receiving no reply, Saint-Gaudens de-
scended to the regions below, where
he found the man Of all worE pumping
away for dear life.
On Saint-GauGons inquiring why he
had received no reply to his summons

from this port By way Of the Straits
of Magellan, to Panama. says the New

At Punta Arenas the Reynolds pre-
ceded the battleship feet by a day or
SO, and It was two days passing

appeared In skin canoes. There were
many women In the canoes, and they
made motions with their hands AMI

matter with them sS every man
aboard the tug had only enough to

at Panama he did not offer any to the

tug with charcoal. Their aim was 50
true and their projectiles were hurled
with such force that al hands got
under cover aboard the Reyuolls. The
skipper had no guns and had to con-

But the scorned Amazons kept on his
