7 IOE, .LITTLE FOLKS. THE A. T. C. CLUB. It Is sa Organization of Brooklyn Beys w&o Are Animal Trainers. How many readers -will be able to jness what the A. T. G. means? Ones s gain ! Oh. well, it is a hopeless case. Ton -will never be able to gnesa the right answer, so yon might as well be told first as last. The A. T. a is the Animal Training clnb, and its mem bers are little Brooklyn boys who have an assortment of animals as pets. These boys agreed to teach their pets a num ber of tricks and to meet and confer with one another and exchange expert i 1 ences. As all of the boys aro near neigh bors, it was not mnch trouble far them to congregate in the back yard of one of the members and there hold teachers' conventions. There is one peculiarity nbont the Animal Training clubhand that is that every member is an officer. .There are - the president, vice president, secretary, .treasurer and a number of subordinate officers not usually thought of by the formers of clubs. The term of office is not very long only two months. The membership dues are 5 cents a week, which is used in giving entertainments for the club and such guests as it in vites. In the picture printed here you may view all the members of the club. The picture, was taken by a young ama teur photographer, Charlie Anderson, the brother of Willie Anderson, who educated two turtles. Harry Rose and his brother, Waldo mar Base, who live as 146 Lefferts place, Brooklyn, have three rabbits, one ca nary bird, five turtles, two cats and a silver fish. Of these pets the silver fish and the cats proved to be the most diffi ijalt to educate. About the extent of ed ucation that a silver fish is capable of is kilo.come up to the top of the water and get a fly. Birds can be taught all sorts of tricks if they are handled when they are quite young. 2s ew York Recorder. Wynken, Ulynken and ocL "Wynken, Blynken and Nod one night Sailed off in a -wooden shoe Sailed on a river of misty light Into a sea of dew. "Where are joa going, and what do yon wish?" Tho old man asked the three. "We have come to fish for the herring fish That live in the Loantifnl sea. Xbts of silver and gold have we, " r - "r- i Blynken Aral Nod. The old moan laughed and sang a song As they rocked in the -wooden tihoe. And tho wind that sped them all night long Ruffled the -waves of dew. The little stars were the herring fish That lived in that beautiful sea. ".Now cast your nets wherever you wish, But never afeared aro we" Bo cried the stars to the fishermen three, Wynken, Blynken And Rod. All night long their nets they threw For the fish in the twinkling foam. Then down from the sky came the wooden shoo, Bringing the fishermen home. Twrnll so pretty a sail it seemed & As Iflfc could not be, And some folks thought 'twas a dream they'd dreamed Of sailing that beautiful sea. But r shall name you the fishermen three Wynken, Blynken And Rod. Wynken and Blynken are two little eyes. And Rod is a little head, ,And the wooden shoe that sailed the skies " Is a wee one's trundle bed. ,So shut your eyes while mother sings Df the wonderful sights that 'be. And you shall see the beautiful things ' -As you rock in the misty sea Where the old shoe rocked the fishermen three Wynken, Blynken And Rod. Eugene Field. "Bothered the Little lrince. One of the little English princesses, the young daughter of the Princess of Battenberg, and a granddaughter there fore of the queen of England, was per plexed recently, as any little girl might have been. like all small princesses, she has begun the study of European languages early, and already speaks French and German with considerable fluency. But the other day when her patient governess began to teach her some Italian phrases her royal highness very nearly struck. " Grandmamma makes me say, 'Thank you,' when she gives me anything, ' she exclaimed, "and father. Ich" danke Ihnen.' Then you used to tell me to say 'ilerci,' and now it's something else! What a lot of dif ferent ways there must be of talking!' Table Football. A good tabl9 game that is easy to con trive does not need much preparation. Get a large cloth on which yon can mark with chalk, or if you prefer, you can stitch the lines with red cotton. The boys will tell yon if yon do not know how to lay out the football field.

It is not kicked,,, but blown from point to point.- Thera-ishot. much danger to the coialataiife but a new ball has to be provided foralmost every march. Touch downs "and five vard limits are not n&ssihle. but' t!ie general rules for football maybe obsa r-j ed. Per two years the question of admit ting Mrs. P- B. Williams, a refined and educated woman, but a mulatto, to membership in the Chicago Woman's club has been under more or less heated discussion. The club has been almost disrupted over the matter, and it re mains to bo seen, now that the friends of Airs. Williams have won and secured her admission, whether the end has come in the matter. The broad ground finally adopted by the clnb was that 'admission to the Woman's clnb should ot be on the ground of color, creed or any line but that of fitness and personal cfearaster. " 2ew Tori Tiiaee. Education and 'iVernaxv. Two forces education and tBe-woia-;an question are destined to influence jand modify social conditions. Education is being more widely disseminated and diversified by university extension- It is by education that the world must ad vance. Woman's development has al ways been through the peaceful arts. She has ever been the practical sex. Man-has a ways been the originator and philosopher. 2Jo woman ever originated a creed or philosophy, but it remains for them to put the theories, both reli gious and social, into practice. She car Ties them out, observes them in her home relations and instills them into the budding mind of youth. Women and men have radically differ ent ideas of practical politics. To a man practical politics means attachment to some party and according support to it under all conditions and circum stances. To women practical politics means clean streets, proper enforcement of municipal regulations, the adminis tration of law with a view to securing the benefits intended. Women look at tbe result accomplished as the material point in politics. The Federation of Women's Clubs aims to secure political results by divesting such questions of tho glamour of partisanship and direct ing every energy to their actual accom plishment. Mrs. Helen M. Jlenrotin. In tho Face of Death. Striking originality is granted to few in this world, but of Martha Evarts Hoiden, popularly, familiarly and affec tionately called "Amber," it was the chief distinction. It was the unexpected and the daring that "Amber" always did. "Amber" thought and "Amber" wrote. She had the courage of her con victions, and if the convictions were queer sometimes they were uttered just the same, and tbe queerer the louder. And if "Amber" saw fit to change her convictions at any time the change was boldly chronicled in no uncertain tones. Her last words to me were striking, as all her words had been. Trying with the impotent, foolish bravado we im pertinently healthy ones assume in face of the majesty of death, I uttered some stupid sentences, as we do, intended to be comforting. "2sq, I know I am going to die," fhe said, looking me fairly in tho face and speaking Etrongly, "and I am not afraid, but joa will admit that it is a solemn time with me. " It made one's feeble attempts to be cheerful seem so frivolous and empty! I was setting my flimsy standard for support and making vain boasts of help on the ground of a warrior who had already made the fight and was wounded to death. Chicago Times-Herald. Tho Outlook In England. Is Lord Salisbury likely to give the franchise to women? It is qnito possible that he will do so. The Liberal Union ists almost to a man (Mr. Leonard Courtney the ono conspicuous exception) are against tbe representation of women, but the Conservative majority without the Liberal Unionists will be strong enoagh to carry anything. There will undoubtedly be a registration of voters bill, and in all probability a redistribu tion of seats bill, brought in by the gov ernment, and it is thought very proba ble that in these an opportunity will be found for enfranchising at least some women. Woman suffrage has always had considerable Conservative support- Lord Beacousfield was absolutely the first per son to say a word in its favor in the house of commons, and Lord Salisbury and Mr. Balfour aro both its advocates. Probably, however, a Conservative woman's suffrage would be confined to propertied ladies. It would be rather a representation of that property than an enfranchisemen- of women. To this, probably, the house of lords would not object. London Illustrated 2ews. The Mlaaioa of Motherhood. Everything pertaining to woman is taking on higher conditions. Even the caricature pictures, in which needy car toonists cater to their own necessities by expressing on paper for the pnblic prints their never lnoid ideas of the woman question, have advanced beyond the old pictures of the hideous, angular virago and her broomstick or the irate woman, half hen and half monstrosity, both of whom were vigorously belaboring tho alleged tyrant man, and are now sketch ing handsome, happy looking women in ugly and impossible garment?, making love to silly, conceited little swains whom the new woman wants to marry. If the old woman produced such speci mens q masculinity under the old order ( as are portrayed therein, it is quite time ' to supplant her by the "free woman, " . who will make better success of the mission of motherhood. Mrs. Julia H. Bauer. ; A Boyal Invalid's Fare. j Here is the regime of a royal invalid, as we must stili call the empress of Austria, for she is far from robust. 2Jo meal is allowed to be partaken of later than 7 o'clock p. m. A conple of eggs, milk in some light and wholesome form and a single plate of plainly cooked meat form the simple meal. Eight hours' sleep every night is insisted upon. We must not be misled by seeing in the papers that the empress appeared at a state banquet, for she does so when ; necessity requires it, but without par- j taking of a single dish, her frugal re- J past, ordered by her physician, having been eaten in her private apartments. Decrees For Women, There seems to be some "probability that the admission of women to degrees I at Oxford and Cambridge is within ; measurable distance. At least movement in this direction has been made of late and is still. being made at Oxford, and if one university is sensible enough to make .this educational advance, the oth- er can scarcely fail to follow suit. There is nothing, -one; would imagine, to lie said against wSuch -a; step, for it is mani- . festly absurd to permit women to com neto with men for a nrize, so to say, 1 and then, when they win, deny it to ! ioriaL The"BixJTbree, Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, hail!

Teachers' Wages. Ultcfren Ttoilcrs la Winter. i ; Among the most brilliant of the new generation of women in England who are winning fame as scientists and in other professions formerly regarded as open only to men is Mrs. John Gordon. Before her recent marriage to the well known Scotch physician Airs. Gordon was known as-Manna M. Ogilvie and had won a fame more than national as one of the foremost of British paleontolo gists. While this fame may have been partly due to tho incongruity of associa tion between the beautiful woman stu dent and the dead relics of the past to which she devoted her name, there can be no question that her recognition as an authority in this branch of science would be justly due on the ground of merit alone. Her books on paleontology are known to students evervwhere and MTIS. JOHN CORDON. have won her tho degree of doctor of science from the University of London, a very unusual honor to be bestowod .upon a woman. Even while yet a student Mrs. Gor don gave promise of the brilliant future in store, capturing the gold medal and reveral scholarships at the Ladies' col lege of Edinburgh and also at Heriot college in the same city. Her native Scotch town not providing sufficient opr partem ty for study, she went to Lon don, and after passing the preliminary South Kensington examinations entered j the scientific department of the London ; university. The most successful victory her industry won at the university was the gold medal offered for the best ex amination in zoology and comparative anatomy. During recent years Mrs. Gor don has devoted her time chiefly to the study of paleontology, conducting orig inal research at Munich university and - doing field work in the Alpine regions. It was there she met Dr. John Gordon, whom she recently married. Mrs. Gor don will not abandon her scientific pur suits. Mrs. Julia Fletcher Carney, The familiar little poem entitled "Little Drops of Water, Little Grains of Sand, " was written by Mrs. Julia Fletch er Carney, now residing in Holyoke, Mass. Though 72 years old, Mrs. Car ney is sprightly and full of vigor and is the life and sunshine of the happy little household over which she presides. She was born in Lancaster April 6, 1823, and inherited patriotism of Major Timothy Fletcher of Lancaster and Ma jor Warren of Jay, Ma Mrs. Carney says that she has no recollections of a time when she did not express her thoughts in verse. Her older brothers and sisters were wont to write down her infantile rhymes and jingles many years before she learned to do it herself. Her earliest sorrow was caused by the opin ion of a maiden aunt, freely expressed to her mother, that "if she let that child go on writing verses she would never amount to anything. " Naturally this r r rino Toil fr o TififQrrt'il ininnnrinn worded as such injunctions often are, "Isever let me see any more of your poetry." As it seemed impossible to obey the spirit cf the command the child obeyed the letter, and the next house cleaning time revealed rolls of rhyme bidden in every nook and corner of the nttic Some of these were so touching and pathetic as to melt the heart of the loving though anxious mother, and the law was repealed. When she was 14 years old, her writ ings began to be recognized outside of Jio home, and it was not an infrequent occurrence to have her poems printed in the newspapers. The journalists of Bos ton were especially pleased with the work, and they did everything in their power to encourage her. When 17, she went to Philadelphia, where her mar ried sister resided. Two years later she returned to her home in Boston, where she served a summer's apprenticeship in the district school, attracting commen dation from the committee by keeping a formerly unruly school in good order without corporal punishment. In 1S44 she was elected teacher in one of the primary schools in Boston, and it was while serving in this capacity that she wrote the poem which has made her fa mous. Best on Journal. Woman of tho Old Era snd the Xew. The woman of the old -era was not only unable to make her living if thrown an her own resources, but she actually thought it a disgrace to do sa Her duty in life was to be graceful, gentle, never to think and to look upon man as her master and god. We do not deny that this old typo of womanhood had certain beauties and even virtues the lack of which in woman today would be a mat ter of regret. But its crime was that it made woman a plaything instead of a thinking and resourceful human being, and so when the ridiculous serenading gallants died and were succeeded by tho less ornamental but incomparably more useful men of the present industrial age the hapless, archaic woman of the eight eenth century was compelled to adjust herself to the new order without in the least knowing how to do sa There was something at once pathetic and tragic in the infantile helplessness of the average woman not more than a generation aga She had first to learn how to help her Eelf, and when she had in a measure done that she had to contend with the iniquitous theory that even when she does the same work that men do she is net entitled to the same remuneration. That theory, we may say in passing, is not yet dead, but its days are numbered. It would be useless to deny that the movement which has evolved fhe pew woman "has been characterized ny no mistakes, or that the new "woman her relf has not sometimes made the judi cious grieve. Many false and foolish ideas about woman and her relation to man and the universe have grown out of the movement that has given us the woman of today, but concerning the movement itself there can be only one opinion its good results to both men and women have been incalculable. Por merly man's superior, according to the dissolute and fustian poets of the eight eenth century, woman is now his equal, and in that change is found the whole story of modern civilization. Uew York Tribune. Ttto Girl Sinn Messengers. There are two girls living in Titicus, in the southern part of Fairfield county, Conn., who take considerable pride in the fact that they are employees of Un cle Sam. Their names are Maud and Alice Baxter, aged 16 and 18 years re spectively, and the government service which they perform is carrying the United States maiL They are the chil dren of D. Crosby Baxter, a farmer liv ing in Titicus. The girls are known to everybody for miles aronnd aw the girl mail messengers. The route over which the two girls carry the mail is between Bidgefield station and Titicus. They make two trips a day, and their regu larity in making these trips has made their faces familiar to tho summer con tingent from jSew York that spends the season there. The Titicus mail carriers drive over the country road in a light sideboard carriage to which is attached a scrrel horse, which they have named Uncle Sam. Officially Maud is ihe mail mes senger, but the girls by mutual agree ment divide the pay for the work, and Alice is the companion on every trip that Maud makes with the mail. The pay the girls receive for the work is $100 each year. To reach the train it is necessary for the girls to rise early. Then comes a drive to the Titicus post- office to secure the mailbag from Post master Nash and then a drive of five miles to Bidgefield station. The train leaves before 8 o'clock, and when the traveling is bad on the country roads, it makes Uncle Sam puff to get there in time. As the Baxter girls pull up to the station Mand jumps out with the mail poach and hands it oyer to the railroad men. This is very nice in the summer months. In the winter it is different. They tell of many struggles to get over the almost impassable country roads, but not once have they hesitated in start ing out. Besides making two trips a day they attend the district school 2sew York Sun. English Teachers Wages. A vigorous effort is being made to in crease the wages of teachers in the na tional schools of London, which corre spond to the public schools of the Unit ed States. As there is some mysterious lack of funds there is net much hope that it will be accomplished. In the dis cussion that has arisen the case of one woman was cited, and it was said to be by no means unusual. She received 30, not quite $150, per annum, out of which Ehe had to clothe herself, pay her beard and examination fees. She lived on bread and tea, and but for the charity of a woman who was also poor, but who gave her lodging at a nominal cost, she could not have lived at all. It was stat ed that thee were many others in as dire straits. Bread, tea and sugar are about the only articles of food that are cheap in England. Dress materials cost almost as much as in the United States and shoes being much dearer. In England, as in the United States, women teachers, who are largely in the majority, must be decently clothed, and how this is achieved after the pittance paid them it is difficult to understand. There are very few who receive eo much as 300 per annum. In England, as else where in the world, outrageously unjust in the matter of wages, the adequate pay of women is withheld by men in author ity, although such discrimination does not profit them personally, though it does enable them to give higher wages to members of their own sex English women teachers, however, are much farther removed from any thing like Jin equitable division of sal aries than are those in the United States. Chicago Inter Ocean. Kitchen Boilers In Winter. In a new publication, "The A B C of a Healthy House," the author gives some directions for the care of boilers in cold weather. During very hard frost kitchen and other boilers burst and canse accidents and other trouble. Therefore these should bo looked to as a first con sideration. Boilers should be kept at work during hard frost because by so doing you prevent the formation of ice in the pipes connected with them, while yon also keep the cold out Gf ad jacent parts of the house. If water runs freely at the hot taps, all is well, but if these taps fail to run the only safe way is to put out the fire and call in a competent man to inspect. Never allow hot water pipes or the pipes that feed them to be where they can freeze- If once the frost gets hold of the hot water pipes, they burst become useless, perhaps for weeks, and just at the time when they should hi specially useful. During and after a frost it of ten happens that it is simply impossible to get the pipes repaired for weeks. The household suffers accordingly. Water has to be fetched from a distance, etc Hence the importance of doing all that is possible to prevent accidents, although sometimes a flexible tube or other al ternative may be usefully employed. Some one person should be responsible for the water services and should know whom to call in on an emergency. Eur- j ther, every October the pipes should be looked over so as to be prepared for frost Ecgens Field. One of the many stories which are told about the late Eugene Field is of a j little joke ha had at his wife's expense. They had entered a street car, to find all the seats taken, save one at each end of the car, and they seated themselves ac cordingly. When the conductor collected the fares, Mr. Field announced in audi ble tones, as he gave him a dime, at the same time pointing to the far end of the car, "This is to pay the fare of the lady over there the one wearing the Dew, ; beautiful brown silk dress. " All eyes were turned to her, and her pretty face took a most becoming rose color, but back of the reproving glance sho threw at him was one of mingled indulgence, appreciation and mirth at the unexpect ed and apparently truthful announcement.
