iSXAT-E JOURNAL, WEDNESDAY EVENING. JXJEX 25. 1894. e WOMAN'S WOELD. INTENSITY OF A WOMAN'S STRUGGLE TO EARN A LIVING. Amtrallen Women's College Tk Can of Children Gracious Empress Elizabeth. i IMrided Skirts Sie Telia Ghost Stories. A Colored Wemsut lawyer. Tho following instance is an illustra tion of the difficulty g-irls find every where obtaining employment. A -woman of 35, with considerable experience in sickness and nursing, is advised by a doctor -whom she m sa in a. sickroom in Cincinnati to tiJca the course for trained nurses in tho hospital there. This flic does; but, being obliged on ac count of family affairs to return to Bos ton, she meets the discouraging news that there are in that city alone 150 trained nurses out of employment, and, as she says, there would probably be as any more before she could complete her course. This struggle for u living, in spite of all tho new avenues cpen to women, is everywhere evident. Kays one bachelor girl, "I have accoriplishments, but I find as a rule they are of loss value than a strong specialty." Such a girl may sometimes use an accomplishment to advantage in connection with a special ty, and so she should not despair. For instance, if one in conversant with French, German or Spanish, she 6liould at once learu typewriting and stenogra phy. With this business equipment ehe ought to obtain u lucrative position. On the other hand, a first class stenog rapher and typewriter may strengthen her hold on the business world by learn ing as soon as possible one or more mod ern lanpnagM. A girl who lost her po sition in a lawyer's establishment be cause her services could no longer be afforded owing to the hard times rented desk room in a large building devoted to offices and business headquarters and advertised by circuh-rs distributed to do typewriting. She row employs an as sistant, and both are making a good liv ing. The employer who could not afford to pay her for her whole time was very glad of her services at different times and was also glad to recommend her to others in the same predicament as him self, because her work was invariably good, and she could be relied upon to keep an eng-igement. Promptness and tnergy will conquer no end of obstacles in the commercial world of a large city. "Women with new ideas must also havo the courage to carry them out. A jjirl needing money laughingly suggested the other day that iho put out a sign, "Cats, dogs and plants boardpd for the summer." The idea suggested itself from the dilemma of many city people who do not know what to do with their pets during their vacation tours. Of course she was laughed at, but the scheme might pay well if tried. This is not more novel or fanciful than many schemes for making money which English women under take. Such advertisements as the fol lowing are frequent in linglish papers, where they cause no surprise: "Board lor several young ladies. Lessons in housekeeping given if desired. "Or ders received for furnishing dolls' Louses artistically. Or: "Fruits pre served. Orders received by mail." There are agricultural schools in Eng land where pupils may take advanced courses in dairy work, making such an tiunouucement possible, "Miss R. M. Armstrong has been appointed senior instructress in butror making to the Cumberland county council." Tutoring is not a new way of earning money for educated girls. One college graduate, however, in New York city lias a plan which makes tutoring only a means to an end. Sho came to the city from a county town and gave the best of references to several school agencies where she applied far chances to teach private pupils. While engaged in this work she herself is taking German in a well known school of. languages, in hopes to find finally in Paris or some German metropolis a position to teach her own language. Through Pratt and other similar school i in Baltimore and Boston women capable with the needle and well enough educated to teach classes in sewing are finding such posi tions lucrative. A woman just gradu ated from the advanced course in dress snaking at Pratt has been offered a posi tion as teacher in a new school in an other city at a salary of $700 a year, tier duties requiring her presence in the classroom only so many hours a week. Brooklyn Eagle. Au.stra.lia.il Women' Colleg-ev Sydney university, New South Wales, has shown its pro.gr' 'ssive spirit hy mak ing exactly the sair e provision for wo men as students as it has, made for men. In no other part of the British empire have government and university shown to women such conspicuous generosity and justice in the iratter of higher edu cation. In 1SS1 women wTere admitted freely to all courses in the university. In 1884, by the extension act, it was decided that all benefits and advantages of tho university should extend to wom en equally with men, and three years later, to give full ef 'ect to this decision, it was determined to build a woman's residential college on an exactly simi lar foundation to tl at of the three col leges for men. Two years ago Miss Louisa Macdon !d, 31. A., London, fellow of Universi ty college, was appointed principal, and the college was temporarily placed at Glebe Point, a near suburb of Sydney. Five thousand pounds were granted by the government, 5, COO were subscrib ed, and since then, through all the financial difficulties of the colony, the work ha3 stsadily gone cn. The new residential college is ex tremely handsome externally. Inside the arrangements for the health and comfort of tho students and for mini mizing necessary se'.-vice are really ad jnirable. Everything has been planned a much with a view to the needs of a Shot climate as for the education of SS women in appreciation of really good and artist io snrronndi.Ti l The dining hall, 71 feet long by 25 broid and S5 feet high, is paneled with dark Australian cedar a beautiful wood and lighted by windows of very pleas ing stained glass. The ceiling is dome shaped. At one end is a broad dais. The line of wall is broken by a semicircular recess, benched with jedar. The floor ia stained conformably? ith the tcne of the panels, and the total effect is rich aad sober. The students rooms are 24 in num ber and are alike in all respects. They are 13 feet in height by 14 and 16 in length and breadth respectively. The furniture ia of walnut, of excellent workmanship and especial design. The cupboards and chimney pieces and all the woodwork of walls and windows and doors are painted in two shades of cold dark green, very refreshing in a land of intense sunshine. Fanlights, ventilators and French windows insure a free current of air throughout the house. Gas stoves insure cleanliness. Six bathrooms provide one of the great est luxuries of subtropical Sydney, un limited water. There are three tennis courts, two of grass, one of asphalt. The western boundary to the main lawn is formed by a memorial of young trees planted in August last by Lady DuSf. Philadelphia Ledger. The Care of Children. During the warm months of the year children should gpend nearly the whole of their days in the open air, even eat ing and drinking and taking their morn ing naps out of doors if it can possibly be managed. There is an eld fashioned prejudice against children being allow ed to sleep in the open air, but this prob ably arose from the fact that in the old fashioned perambulator the child's head was apt to fall into bad positions. The modern perambulator, however, is at once a bed and a carriage, end there is no objection whatever to children sleep ing in it in warm weather if .their faces are properly protected from the sun. Youngsters should never be allowed to run in the sun unless provided with white linen sunbonnets to protect the back of the head, and these should have several thicknesses cf linen, as the ordi nary thin muslin bonnets or hats are not sufficient protection. A thickness of flannel under the hat is often very use ful. Children should never bo permitted first to run alout until they are in a prof ase perspiration and then sit down and allow the moisture to cool upon them, as they are thus rendered very liable to take cold, the temperature of the bodies being lowered by the rapid evaporation from the skin. If they are found to be perspiring profusely or their clothes are wet, they should be taken indoors, undressed, rubbed down with a towel and then dressed in dry clothes. In hot weather between the hours of 11 and 12 a. m. and 4 p. m. it is, as a rule, unwise to let children play un sheltered, unless it fhould happen to be a cloudy or breezy day. The effect of great heat is to exhaust the forces and disturb the digestion, but it is a good plan, if possible, to have a tent out of doors where the children can rest dur ing the heat of thevday and take their meals in summer. A lady I know who lives ia a London suburb and has a garden attached to her house, although not at all well off, saved up a small amount weekly from her housekeeping bills to buy such a tent and told me she was amply repaid for the expenditure in the improved health of herself and children. New York Dispatch. Gracious Empress Elizabeth. The Empress Elizabeth of Austria was recently spending a few days at Lintz. One morning she started for a long walk in the environs of tho town, accompanied only by a lady in waiting. Suddenly it began to rain, but the em press opened her umbrella and contin ued on her way. Near the hamlet of Windlingen she noticed a little child, who had taken refuge from the storm under the branches of a great tree. The empress asked the little one a few ques tions about the neighborhood and was about to continue her walk when the child asked: "Dear madame, I beg you to take me under your umbrella." The request was granted, and the three marched on toward the village, the em press asking the child about her family, her duties at school and tbe people of the hamlet. When the rain ceased, the child, the daughter of a peasant, bade her com panions farewell. The empr-ss, how ever, made her a present of the gold handled umbrella that sho might "not get wet when it rained again." "But, dear madame," remarked the child, her eyes wide open with wonder, "you must be rich if you can buy a new umbrella!" Her majesty smiled and kissed the girl good by. A few days later she took a drive in the same neighborhood aud saw the child parading up and down the village streets with her umbrella, followed by her playmates. Her majesty greeted her little friend and was recog nized by some of the older inhabitants of the village, who soon informed the parents of the girl to whom the present was due. The umbrella is now a sacred telic in the peasant home. Divided Skirts. Divided skirts, unless they are Bo Ehort as t'o be almost grotesque, are much more inconvenient than the ordi nary costume. Of course holding up the skirt has its unpleasant features, but it is scarcely more difficult to hold up the petticoat than to pull the divided up so that it shall not get wet or muddy, and once this gets drabbled the last state of the wearer is infinitely worse than the first. She can sit down at.d tuck her feet a little bit under her and get away from immediate contact with her damp skirts, but with the divided skirt cling ing around her ankles her condition is hopeless in the extreme. Furthermore, there are women, plenty of them, who tua walk through the muddiest streets 9 L l'v J t N nMh MA i. ills T E LATEST IN HAT 3.

Women who can get about in this way consider themselves highlr accomplished. Those who cannot are loZd in their expressions of amazement as to how it is done, but it is simply a matter of care and prac tice. Any woman can learn it if she takes the trouble. It is only necessary to wear a comfortably short petticoat. Then gather the skirts, not at the side, but from the back, and raise them very slightly with one hand. The acceptable and desirable model for the coming dress reform is yet to be created. Certain it is that neither the bloomer, the divided skirt nor tho Turk ish trousers and overgaiters fill thobilL Even for bicycling the divided skirt is next thing to a failure. New York Ledger. .1 ..uUit, A man went into a restaurant the other day and took a scat on a stool. He looked at the bill of fare a minute and then beckoned to the waiter. "Hay," he said, "gimme some veal." "What's that, sir?" asked the waiter as he brushed a lot of crumbs into the man's lap and handed him a glass of water in which his thumb was immers ed beyond the first joint. "Gimme some veaL "Veal.'"' "Yes, veal." The waiter wandered off to the kitch en and held an animated conversation with the cook. Pretty soon he came back and put a plate of dark red meat in front of the customer and began to pay close attention to the electric fan. The customer turned the meat over curiously with his fork. He inspected it on both sides. Then he said, "Hay, waiter, come here!" The waiter walked over and leaned on the counter. "I asked for veaL" said the customer inquiringly. "Yes." "This hain't veal. It's roast beef. "Roast beef?" repeated the waiter in gTeat astonishment. "Yes, roast beef." The waiter turned to walk away. "Well," he said, "what's roast beef but veal in its second childhood?

"My dear man, he began as he stop ped a policeman on the Campus Martius the midnight the other night, "I want to ask a great favor of you a great fa vor." "Well, sir?" was the curt rer'y. "I left Buffalo for Chicago ti. j other day. I have many reasons for believing that I have arrived in Chicago, but yet a perfidious doubt insists on entering my mind. Now, then, can you see your way clear to telling me whether I am in Chicago or not?" "Of course you are not. You are in Detroit!" "In Detroit? That is a town about half way between Buffalo and Chicago, is it not?" "Yes, sir." "Sometimes called the City of Straits?" "Yes, sir." "Because it is a town of straight people?" "What do you want?" queried the officer, leaving tho question to take care of itself. "Queer very queer! I start from Buffalo for Chicago, and I find myself in Detroit. I walk around town for three hours hunting for my friend Do boy of the police force, and, not finding him, a perfidious doubt begins to devel op itself. I approach you and ask for information, and I find that Chicago and Doboy are still 2S0 miles farther toward the setting sun. I can't make it out. Can you?" "No, sir!" stiffly replied the officer. "Would you call it a case of absent mindedness?" "It might be that." "Or could I have suddenly lo6t my identity? People do suddenly lose their identity, you know." "I expect they do. "Hold! Could I have been in that condition known as inebriated?" anx iously asked tho stranger. "Very likely!" grimly replied the of ficer. "13 that all you want to know?" "About all. Stay a moment, how ever. I spoke of Doboy. He has implicit confidence in me. Should I ask him for a dime with which to' "Hove on, sir!" interrupted the offi cer. "Toward Chicago?" "Yes, sir, move on!" "Move on toward Chicago because of Doboy and that dime?" "Exactly! Move on, or I'll run vou in!" "Very well. I move. I move toward Chicago. I decrease the distance be tween myself and Doboy. When I final ly reach him I shall murmur: "Doboy, old man, beware of Detroit, the city of the crooked! Beware of a big, over grown, hard hearted, avaricious, wab bled kneed, red eyed" The officer rushed for him, but his club only beat against a soft, damp shad ow of the night. Detroit Free Press.

Placed oa the Grave of One of the Boston Tea Party. Just south of the proposed entranca of La Salle street, Chicago, an Ameri can flag fluttered over the grass of Lincoln park the other day. It was placed there by Josiali Lombard, George H. Fergus and Fernando Jones to mark the grave of Bcvid Kennison, who was there interred with military honors forty-two year Bgo. As young men they witnessed that procession, and they alona knew the location of the grave in the once thickly populated cemetery that is now Lincoln park. The mark of tha Sons of the American Revolution anl a bronze tablet bearing inscriptions telling of the leading facts in David Kennison's- career were attached to the flagstaff. Kennison was born in the province of Maine, November 17, 1736. Ha was one of a club of seventeen whicii held secret meetings to deliberate on grievances offered by England to the young colonies. He was one of the bold Americans who threw the tea overboard in Boston harbor, and though he fought through the revolu tionary war, he achieved no distinc tion such as in after years was con ferred upon him as one of the dis-g-uised men in the Boston tea party. He saw service in the war of 1812, and after its close lived in New York state. In 1374 he went to Chicago. For several years he lived in the fam ily of Judge Henry Fuller on Indiana avenue. He was a iensioner and the oldest man in Chicago, and a figure ia the celebrations of the town. Ha was 115 years old when he died. Tha Sons of Maine, the Sons of Massachu setts, and the Chicago Pioneers, it is said, will unite in the erection of a granite pedestal on the spot marked by the flag. It will bear a bronze bust of Kennison, and will be cared for by these societies. She shrank from him. "I'm awfully shy," she faltered. He looked upon her bowed head in a trance of horror. "Can it be possible," he demanded, "that you have already dissipated the fortune your grandmother left you?" Seizing his hat and cane, ha fled. Detroit Tribune NORTH TOPEKA.

He captured soma dog3 and some he didn't get lie also incidental ly furnished much amusement for a crowd of men and boys who gathered around to see him enforce the law. He got along nicely until he went against Bert Green the son of Win. Green, the grocerymau. He met young Green on the street and asked him if he had a dog. On being answered in the affirmative, he demanded to kuow what kind of a dog. Mr. Green coolly replied: "It is none of your business." Ttien came the time for the majesty of the law to assert itself and first exhibiting a deputy sheriff's in signia of office, he grabbed the young man roughly and started down the street with him, saying ho would take him across the river. Reaching Laurent street he seemed to change his mind and notwithstanding the fact that his prisoner insisted on being taken before a bar of justice. Miller again demanded the dog tax. Receiving no encouragement in this line he said he would go to t he house and get the dog. His prisoner consented to show him the way, so the whole cavalcade started for Mr. Green's resi dence but for some reason Miller again changed his mind and abandoning the whole matter climbed in his wagon and started for the South side amid tne hoots and jeers of the crowd.

She awaited his order. He was dressed in the latest fashion. He threw the lapel of his coat bjvck with a proud gesture, and fixing his fascinating eye on the bar beauty he said: "Tell me, my pretty maid, what can you suggest tor a man who ate a Welsh rabbit last night and does not feel well this morning'-" She did not smile.

In the treatment of the ordinary build ings of which a town or city is mainlycom posed the public structures may eive the keynote, but the everyday buildings make the harmony complete, and whether this aLall be full and rich or flat and insipid will depend on every single architectural note. The importance of well designed private structures Is therefore great, and if every citizen could be impressed with the fact that in each now building he erects he is helping to make or mar his city, and so reacting on the value of bis own property, one little step in advance would be gained.
