AMBITIOUS GIRLS.
80ME GREAT WOMEN WHO WERE
PRECOCIOUS CHILDREN.
Some Notable Examples Which Go to Prove
That Ability Is Apt to Ileveal Itself as
Early With Glrl , as With Boys-Some of
Them UaI to Strnggie.
I
"I wonder if most famous women
were as ambition,9 and gave signs of future -
ture greatness : t their early youth as
famous men ? " asked n thoughtful looking -
ing girl , dropping her book , "The Live ,
of the Great Musicians , " in which with
delight she had been reading of the boy
Mozart.
"Most great women have been precocious -
cocious , " answered her aunt , whose
busy brain possessed the charming faculty -
ulty of storing up all manner of interesting -
esting information against a rain of
questions from her clever niece. "Let
us go back to that sweetest.character in
English history , Lady Jane Grey , and
we will find she was only 18 years old
when that learned scholar and fine gentleman -
tleman , Roger Aseham , found her reading -
ing Plato's 'Phaeton' in the original
Greek while the rest of the family were
off on a hunting party. But it was not
with a knowledge of Greek little Lady
Jane was satisfied. She spoke French ,
Latin and Italian fluently , writing them
also , and translated easily from Hebrew ,
Chaldee and Arabic. When her father
took her to court , .they found with astonishment -
tonishment that this demure country
bred girl was a far finer scholar than
young Edward VI , then a clever boy
under the first tutors in England. Yet
with all her knowledge of literature and
languages Lady Jane embroidered
charmingly , sang to several instruments
that she played very well , danced and
wrote easily and gracefully.
"Felicia Hemaus published her first
collection of poems when she was only
14.
!
"Angelica Kaufman , the beautiful
woman and gifted artist , who painted
the portraits of royalties , when only 11
used her brush far better than her father -
ther , who was an artist by profession.
" Mme. Roland never remembered
when she learned to read , for at 4 years
of age she was greedily perusing any
books that came to her hand. Dancing
and music she readily acquired , but
geography and Latin were her favorite
studies. As a girl of 7 she would eagerly -
ly rise at 6 o'clock in the morning to
get to her books , and so dearly did she
love reading she carried her volume of
'Plutarch's Lives' to church when she
was 1 1 Sears old and secretly read it
during the long prayers.
"There is not a more touching story
of a child's quick mind starved of its
proper food than Caroline Herschel.
Her mother was a stupid woman , who
kept her daughter purposely so busy
about household work she could neither
study nor practice on her violin she dearly -
ly loved and in which her father wished
to instruct her. It was with an aching
heart and tearful eyes Caroline plied
her needle , while her father and his
sons held their little family concerts in
which the girl longed to join. She begged -
ged to be allowed to study French with
her brother , and dancing also , but this
her mother forbade , though her gentle ,
clever father was anxious his Caroline
should have a good education. It was
not until later in life , whenher beloved
brother William , the great astronomer ,
sent for her to join him in England ,
she had any opportunity to exercise her
fine mind.
"Mary Somerville says that as a little -
tle girl sh © had avery bad memory , and
at 10 years of age was sent to a boarding -
ing school , where the chief lesson for
each day was a page of Johnson's Dictionary -
tionary committed to memory. She
never excelled at school , and yet at home
110 one sympathized a little later with
her desire to study Latin except an uncle -
cle , who gave her some valuable in-
struction. She was very much interested
in two celestial globes the village
schoolmaster taught her touse , and yet ,
on the whole , she was rather in awe of
the big constellations , whose brightness
reminded her of lightning , of which she
was desperately afraid. At length she
persuaded her brother's tutor to buy her
an algebra and Euclid , which she
studied at night until her mother , in
horror at the idea of a girl wasting
time on studies meant for boys , deprived
her of a candle to read by , and her father -
ther feared she might go crazy. It was
long after that she really found the courage -
age and sympathy to take up her great
studies in earnest.
"It was as a pianist George Eliot was
noted at her school , and with the most f
amazing ease she acquired languages ,
yet as a very little girl she showed no
great promise , much preferring a romp
with her brother to her books.
"Fannie Burney , who is also known
as Mme. d'Arblay , published her first
and cleverest novel when she was only
lii , and yet she was 8 years old before
learning her alphabet and scarcely received -
ceived any regular education at all.
"Rachel , you must remember , was a
girl just turned into her teens when she
borrowed a volume of Racine from a
Jewish peddler in old clothes. On reading - l
ing the great French tragedies she del l
tided to became an actress , and this
poor , pretty little Jewess , the youngest
of seven children , who had begun life
as a street singer , on her second appearance -
ance on the French stagewas greeted as
a great genius. So , you see , my dear ,
ability isnpt to reveal itself as early with
girls as boys , and these are a 'very , very
few of the world's great women who
loved books in the nursery and gave the
most glorious promise while still in s
shatrt frocks.-Chicago Inter Ocean.

And now there is talk of substituting
girls for boys at the district telegraph
offices. At the Chicago headquarters of ,
one of these companies the matter is being -
ing seriously considered , and the experiment -
iment will undoubtedly be made. If
the change becomes permanent and general -
eral , the humorous writers will have to
slisrpen their pencils for a new theme.

far distant when mothers will consider the real
