Women' Work Commended. Concerning woman's work tlio Luriexn SMys: "It li gratifying to aeo the tmprove- t'ON'SUKLO, IirCllKHH ments which have been matlo lu the conditions under which women work In this country since I was last hero. You know that I mil deeply Interested la this question of the betterment of tho conditions of llfo lor women. England Is doing much In this direction, but it la to America that we all look for leadership In movements of this kind, and I am happy to say that our hopes have not been disappointed." The particular society In which the Duchess la Interested Is tho Young Woman'9 Christian Association. Blio la to that organization lu ICngland what Helen (lould Is to tho Y. M. C. A. In this country a patroness, generous of time, money and sympathy. It Is evident, however, that the Duchess' sympathies go out to the workers and tho work along all the lines of betterment for women. She calls attention to the various associa tions and their enormous growth in membership, and to the chunge that Iiub taken place In the position of wom an In tho world's work during the past sixty years. 'Jpeaklng of woman's efforts at eman cipation nud particularly of the famous meeting la Suneua Fulls, N. Y., she says: "Tho first woman's rights convention was held in this country in 1850. Three years later a woman attempted to apeak In a world's temperance conven tion In Now York and it took her three hours to make a ten-inlnuto speech be cause ot the jeers and Interruptions of the men delegates. Florence Night lngalo, Just about fifty years ago laid the foundation for tho glorious work of the Ked Cross In the hospitals la the VI w ' - t At"1- Crimea. When Efforts Began. "These were the beginnings of the activity of women in public movements, Involving Hocial reform, which now ate having their full development In all lines of endeavor. When one reflects that the hardships fuced by women speakers In thone days ranged from hos I Do and rude Interruptions to measures of even more active discomfort and un pleasantness, remlnllng one of an un nopuHr political campaign, and yet that they bnve persevered In their ef forts, one cannot help being proud of their pluck und perseverance which Jims hail such splendid results." Uefereuce to tha woman who at- templed to apeak at a temperance con vention recalls to mind tlio old story of Lucy Htono, of Massachusetts, a pioneer suffragist, who, after her grad nation at Oberlln, Ohio (tho only col lego admitting women at that time), duMlred to apeak In one of the Mass ncbiiMelta churches. The announcement of tho addreaa waa made by the mln later of tho church In the following worda: "A hen wldhea to crow like a rooster In thin church on Thurndny evening. Any Im'ly llklna Ihnt kind of niUMlo la In vltud to attend." It aeema almoat Incredible In these daya that time waa, and only half a century ago, too, when woman' activ ity waa limited to ao small a circle. Aa a mean of livelihood ahe had but three vocationa from which to choose: housework, sewing and teaching; and nil poorly paid, at that. Marriage waa supposed to be the chler end ana aim of her existence. This atale ahe sought, sometime aa a refuge from greater Ilia. A (Ctrl alnKlo at 22 or 23 waa con sidered an "old maid." No woman, except anionic the Boclety of Frlenda. could be ordained to preach the gospel. The woman physician or lawyer wan an unknown quantity. The Women Held Aalde Their Skirts. When Antoinette Brown lilackwell, the first woman to graduate In medi cine In this country, apis-ared on the atreeta the women ho met held aalde their skirts for fear of contamination from ao unwomanly a creature. The burs of prejudice were high and strong. MAKLliDitortill. Only tho hardiest dared face tho dls approval of the public of that day. ilut uow the army of stenographers, clerks, physicians, preachers, social workers and business women attest the wonderful change in her status. To day, given capacity, training and perse verance, there are few. If any, avenues of legitimate endeavor closed to woman. If now and then a few overstep the hounds of discretion and good taste, and thereby call down the censure of the better element, who knows but that It Is the pendulum swinging a little far a rebound from the extremes of former days. The real balance will be maintained when woman la permit ted to express her Individuality and to live nor own life. A Lullaby. Hush, baby, hush! In the west there's a glory With changes of amethyst, crimson and gold. The Sun goes to bed like tho King lu ft story, Told by a poet of old. Hush, baby, hush! Thero's a wind on the river A Bloepy old wind with a voico like a sigh, And he sings to the rushes that dream ily quiver, Down where the ripples run by. Hush, baby, hush! Lambs are drowsily bleating Down In cool meadows wbero daisy buds grow: And the echo, aweary with all day re peating Has fallen asleep long ago. Hush, baby, bush! There are katydids calling "Good-night" to each other on every breeze. And the sweet baby moon has been falling and falling. Till now she is caught In the trees. Hush, baby, lniehf It Is time you were winging Your way to the land that lies no one knows where: It is late, baby, late; Mother's tired wuu singing, Sooa she will follow you there.

THE HUMAN FLY. REMARKARLE EXPLOIT OF A WN ISG HASHER WHO CLIMBS TALL IfVILDISGS. Witnessed by Gaping Multitude. He Ascended and Descended the Tow erlng Matiron."-Wlfe and Child ren Among Nervous Spectator. There is a man who climbs the outer walls of the highest buildings and who uses neither rope, tackle nor scal- ng ladder. This man does not tell of b!s daring feats, nor has he a press agent to exploit his dizzy achieve ments.

The name of this man is John Garrick. and he is called "The Hu man Fly." His occupation is hanging and removing awnings. To do his work he simply walks up and down the out side of buildings while other workmen go from story to story by means of the stairway or the elevator. Joha Garrick before he took up the trade of awning hanging was a Bailor. He followed the sea from boyhood to manhood, and during his service on deep-sea sailing ships he learned to climb and cultivated his nerve. A few days ago he was engaged in removing awnings from the Flatlron oulldir.g, in New Y'ork. Broadway was choked with people watching the Hu man Fly at work. Incredible as it may seem, he climbed the sheer wall of that building from pavement to cor nice, two hundred and eighty-six feet and down again. Five years ago Garrick married.

Thongs married five years his wife has never seen him at bis work of scaling the outside of tall buildings until he un dertook the removal of awnings froja the windows of the towering Flatlron building. "Until that time," said the lady to & reporter, "I never saw him at the work. I knew he was removing awnings from the Flatlron building, so I went over to Manhattan to meet him yesterday afternoon, and I took our two children, Lawrence, two and a half years old, and Hazel, four years old, and waited for John in front of the Bartholdi Hotel. Of course I never thought John would climb that frightfully tall building. I was stand ing there when one of the workmen, who knows me, came over and said: 'Your husband will be with you soon, he's Just coming from the ninth story now.' I thought he meant John would be coming by the elevator, so I didn't look up to the windows. The workman told me to look up. I did, and I nearly fainted, for there was my husband with his hands on the ill of a window on the. ninth story and his toes in the groves between the stones. I grew dizzy and wanted to turn away. Something held me fascinated. though, and I watched him coming Jown In a sort of criss-cross fashion as quickly as a man would run down a ladder. I said to Lawrence. 'There's your papa,' and the baby laughed and lapped his hands with joy. He dldn t understand the danger, but Hazel did, and she began to cry. I couldn't look any longer and I turned my bead away, but I could hear the noise of the great crowd that was watching him. I looked again, thinking he must be on the sidewalk by this time. Imagine my horror when I saw he had started climbing upward after I had turned away, and was then just up to the cornice, lie looked like a little black fly against the white stone. He waved one hand and then began to move down. I watched him, but some times closed my eyes when it seemed that he had made a misstep. The crowd was so great that when he swung down to one of the store awn- Inga I could only see him drop off and disappear into the maze of men gath ered about.' THE WEATHER I0ECASTS. bi Spite of Ratteries the Government Prophesies Remarkably Accurate. Fiteen per cent, ot error, said Chief Willis L. Moore, in an interview, is the record of the Weather Bureau. Not only Is this proportion lower than In any foreign bureaus, but in ten years not a criticism of its work, be adds, has come from any commercial, marl time or scientific organization. Cer tainly, if it does what it sets out to do, eighty-five times out of a hundred, the weather service ought to enjoy an enviable degree of popular esteem. What praise would be showered on a Congress that acted unwisely only It per cent, of the time! In spite of the constant gibes di rected at the Weather Bureau, there is undoubtedly among farmers and ship pers an underlying sentiment of friend liness and confidence. It has grown into a national joke that the forecasts are always wrong, just as Bostonians live invariably on beans- and Philadel phians are always lethargic. But these whimsical articles of faith do not in the least affect anyone's practical at titude toward a forecast, a Bostonian, or a Philadelphian. A contributing cause to the railing at the weather bureau is the activity of the long-range prophets. The su perior usefulness of a forecast for next month over one for to-morrow being manifest, even sheer guesswork for the former period is preferred by thou sands to a scientific determination for the latter. Recently a moneyed indi vidual offered a substantial prize for the best weather prophecy six months ahead. If the Government bureau should try for that and win it and it ought to be able to guess as well as anybody it would become the most popular institution in the country. By Eugene P.
