It is most remarkable that though
music is part of the education of most
women, ami with all their aptitude for
the art ami ability in interpretation, tho
sc.t has never produced a ffreat com
)o?or. and comparatively few comjwsi
Hons that have attained any great iwp
tilarity Mis French, a 5unj; Irish
woman living in Paris, is an exception,
and another is Miss Hope Temple, a
young Englishwoman. The most jwpu
laroi her cumpoxittous is entitled "Mem
ones." which is a sou of great depth of
feeling. It is a pretty glimpse that we
have of Miss Temple's childhood when
we hear of her living near Dover, where
the gallant ill starred Twenty-fourth
regiment was quartered.
She loved the nildiers, and they, one
and all. loved her and treated her as a
little daughter ot the regiment. Her
very first composition was a waltz for
the band to play, ami n.i she taught it to
them herself we may be sure that full
justice was done to I he young conductor
and her melody. It was a great sorrow
to her that this idyllic epi-ode was fol
lowed by the grim realities of war, and
that the disastrous battlefield of Isandhl
wana, in Zululand, was the grave of
nearly all the brave men who used to sa
lute her so gayly when she went in and
out among them. She had little musical
education, and always hated the piano
as an instrument, but suceess in song
writing lias caused her to advance step

A l uil in ('oirl That Co-Is Miuirj.
A recent bride distanced all of her
contemporaries in the value of one item
of her trousseau, and it is said by her
friends that she thereby set a fashion
that must henceforth be followed by all
brides of any pretensions in tho world of
society While it is. ol course, the rule
for the expectant wife to have her bridal
corsets made far more elaborately and
expensively than has been her former
custom, often having them embroidered
most delicately, it is declared that this
instance is the tir.-t where gold was used
in the place of .steel, both for the cliisps,
the eyelets and the lacing tips.
The few intimate friends of the bride
who weie permitted to gaze upon tho
mysterious portion of her outfit had
their attention called to this feature of
the beautiful corsets, and they say that
examination showed the metal portions
to Ihj composed of gold as described.
One young woman had the temerity
to ask what the advantage of gold was,
and she was informed that it did not dis
color and was 111 every way preferable
to steel It was generally agreed that
the idea was an awfully clever one, but
lit the same time it was regretted that
the world at large would not know
nbout the gold No one dared to ask
iiow much the corsets cost. The price,
jiowever. w is 11)0 a pair, and the bride
had three pairs, one in white, mother in
pale blue and the third in black. New

never has been known to wear diamonds

how impossible to guess when and where
it is going to sti ike. Miss Wilkins has
been writing stories for six or eight
Jem's, every whit as bright and natural
and lifelike a? those she is writing to
day. They were published in the Har
pers and other leading publications, but
the writer was in no sense famous until
all ill once the hour struck and fame was
hers. No longer ago than last spring a
query was sent from this office to the
head of a literary syndicate which is snii-po-ed
to have knowledge of every writer
of any note in Huglaud ami America,
asking the address of Marv K. Wilkins.
The answer came promptly bad;, "We

In Monongahela township there re
sides Mrs. Sarah King, widow of Horatio
King. She was born in New Jersey in
1S02. To us that seems a long time ago
lacking less than eleven years of being
a century. Mrs. King is a mute. Her
three children were in no way aflliered.
One strange fact is that she named them.
Of course she could not speak the word,
but designated the two brothers and sis
ter whose names her children should
bear. She i ould do all kinds of work
and do it well. She taught her daughter
to be a model housekeeper. Mrs. King
Wiis not educated; though she learned to
make beautiful capital letters could not
form them into words. A stranger meet
ing her would not think her both deaf
and dumb. She understands all that is
said to her if slie can watch the person
talking. Her eyesight and general health
iire good. She is the oldest person in
her township. Waynesburg (Pa.) Inde

Where dancing is tabooed it is difli
cult to know just what to do with the
people that you like to invite to your
house. Of course there are dinners and
teas and musicales, but in the course of
human events one tire of all three and
sighs for something newer and less con
ventional. Among novel forms of en
tertainment which clever hostesses are
carrying out is the so called Russian
reception." The card of invitation is tho
same as for an ordinary reception, but
when the mystical words "Russian even
ing" are engraved in the corner the recip
ient knows that she will meet at the
house of her hostess some artistic and
literary people whom she has long want
ed to know; that tlu.ro will be a deal of
bright conversation interspersed with
music; that u simple standing collation
will be served, and that she, together
with the other guests, will take an early
departure. Boston Commonwealth.

Nothing is more gratifying than the
progress women are making in extem
pore speaking, liven in Sorosis tho
ladies live years ago could speak noth
ing like as well as they do now. Often
they use no notes whatever. The way
to learn extempore speaking is to be
gin and preach your speech over in
your mind beforehand, thinking it out
carefully, .but not writing a lino of it ex
cept the headings. Then when you ariso
to deliver it you will probably forget
two-thirds of it, but never mind. Keep
practicing, and you will gradually re
member moro and moro of it, and new
thoughts will at length como to you
upon your feet. No matter if you do
forget part. Even Wendell Phillips al
ways did that, but nobody knew it but
himself. New York Commercial Ad-

Women in Sl ITnlwrsltiea.
Between -100 and ,r00 women studied
at tho Swiss university last year; 229 of
i them were regularly matriculated, and
were preparing themselves to tako de
grees: 1 10 of them camo from Russia,
i 20 from Switzerland, 21 from Germany,
j 12 from Bulgaria, and 5 from the United
States; l."0 of them aspiro to diplomas
' in medicine, 0 are in tho legal d opart

! tors of philosophy. Switzerland is about
! the only country on tho continent that
has not taken jxiins to keep women as
far as possible from its universities, and
with each new concession from the
faculties the uuiuKt of women attend
ants has been increased. Ten years ago
tho number was only SO; five years ago

SinltiK Novelties.
Among the spring woolens none seems
more jiopular than the Scotch homespun
twills in stripes, checks or heather mist- j
ures. They are very soft and warm, yet
light, nnd have the desirable quality of
shedding a reasonable amount of rain
before they get wet. and they make ex
cellent every day dresses.
A novelty is the Bedford corduretto
in every color now fashionable, and they
look heavy while being very light.
Broken plaids, with the lines in lmirv
raised effects, are quite popular, and
make very stylish dresses and compara
tively inexpensive ones.
An Idea I'm- a Sl.irt.
A novel way of treating a dress skirt,
while in no way destroying the sheath
like apiK'iirauce which fashion affects, is
to slash it from hem to waist on the
right side just a few inches, say four or
live, from the bodice point. Benpath, on
the foundation, lay a few folds of silk or
velvet to .simulate an underskirt, and
then tie the edges of the upper dress with
ribbon bows ami short ends. If desired,
more elaboration may be supplied by
put ting a narrow galloon round the edge
of the dress and carrying it up either
side of the opening. New York Post.

Heliotrope is certainly leading the

of the big retail dry goods shops are lav

Cambridge has a "Ladies' Family

Very striking innovations are lw-ing
made in tho conventional wedding gown,

Dresses subjected to hard wear are

Farmer's Hen Should Re
ceive Good Care.
FEW OF HER PLAIN RIGHTS.
She Should Have Clean, Dry Quarters.
Food Thnt Will Mako Eggs.
Pure Water, Etc.
Among nil the domestic stock wind
1ms lieeii reared on the farms ot our an
cestors and upon our own none ha been
the target for so much abuse ; none ha
been tteated ith so much injustice l
thought, word and deed as the farmer's
hen. Oftentimes without shelter, and
in many instances even without food.
CKcept what she can pick up, and with
only sutliciont attention to make sure ot
appropi iuting the products of her indus
try, she has been expected to work the
whole year through, taking care of both
bet sell and her broods, and to pay a
lamer proportionate income than a'nv
thing else on the farm in short, to fully
solve the problem of making bricks with
out straw for woe to her if she appro
priated any 'straw" in the shape of
growing grain or vegetables, scattered
seed or ripened fruit. Luft to run at
large, she has been chidden for, nesting
in by-places, for hatching at untimely
seasons, for being in every way " more
bother than worth." On the other hand,
being confined within pr ior limits, she
has been frowntd upon fi-r desiring the
comforts of sufficient tiid and drink
and fairlv decent and eh anly quarters,
and has been stamped ns i useless, pam
pered creature, "costing more than she
conies to." and peculiarly subject to dis
ease and vermin. An ai titio.il creation,
taken from unlimited rcsoutivsof range,
freedom and fresh air into forced condi
tions hist the leverse of all there; im
proved from her natural state of laying
a single nest fill of eggs in a season to a
forced artificial product of do.ensof eggs
throughout the year, she is expected to
rustle for himself with all the ambition
which she displayed in a wild state,
while yielding to her owner the products
rightfully to le expected from the arti
ficial state. Bred for a general-purpose
machine, it is desired of her that she
be as gootl for each special purpose as a
special-purpose machine, and she has
oven been asked to manufacture insuf
ficient general-purpose nuitetial into
abundant special product" ai when she
is expected to shell out egg w ith unfail
ing tegularity on a diet partly fattening,
partly heating and wholly iiisuHicicnt
for her living needs, leaving out of the
question her manufacturing needs.
The question, "Boes poultry pay?"
has been demanding an answer with
espe "ial insistence during the past two
or three years; but if Ibis were an
swered as to poultry as a whole, there
would still remain another more perti
nent to the gteat majority, " Does the
farmer's hen pay?" Before the latter
question can be answ ered with any show
of fairness, the farmer's hen must have
her plain riijhl. If she must run at
large and secure her ow n living, it is
certainly hoi ritjltt to help herself to
w hatever she may be able to find and to
raise her brood in her own way, treating
them to till the available dainties w hich
the season affords. If she is confined
within ImmuhIs, treated as an artilicial
and expected to p'iv in cash results, it is
her rigni that she to furnished with all
the things that are absolutely necessarv
to her health and well-being, and witli
conditions that, being artilicial, may yet
approach as near as possible to those
which are natural, besides raw material
enough and of tho proper sort to maun
f net uro the expected product. It is her
right to have clean, dry quartern; to
have food that will make eggs if eggs
are expected ; to have pure water, and
to have such attention as is necessary to
make her comfortable in conditions over
w hich she has nocontrol. Having these,
if she does not then render to her owner
cash returns more than equal to the out
lay, ho is justified in saying that she
does not jiny ; but until tl'ien ho is doing
her rank injustice to hint at such a thing.
The .Mh1,o ) or Maternity.
No truer utterance was ever made
concerning the cow than that of Prof.
Farriugton when ho said:
Wo are not dealing with machines, hut
living creatures endowed with incalculable
peculiarities and innumerable ilillurcnccs.
The mystery of animal life, who shall
solve it? This mystery is as great in
tho smallest living animal as in lordly
man. Wonderfully great is the mystery
of maternity, involvingii vast complexity
of operations which all tho research and
genius of man has never yet lieen able
to fully comprehend. The 'operation of
milk-giving is a part of this vast com
plexity. It is a pity that this mysterious
function of motherhood is so generally
intrusted to the control of men who
know oven less ulwut it than the cow
mother herself. There was profound
understand ng and philosophy in that
remark of wise old Ward White when
he said : " I always speak to a cow as I
would to a lady." It meant a true rec
ognition of the uiiige that must lie ac
corded to motherhood if it is expected to
"have full course, run, and Imj glorified"
in tho prosperity of the man who is ap
pointed as its master. The stupid brut
ishness of men, who are too ignorant of
their own interests to lx gentle ami hu
mane, finds at last sharp puhhmcut;
for God, ever just to tho least of His
creatures, denies such men profit or
prosperity, " and thereat all good men
say, 'Amen!'" In dairying it pays
greatly to Imj a gentleman.
