THE BOY IN THE MOW.
Thero glides through the barn's mammoth
door
A sweet scented hilltop of hay:
An athlete, with strength bubbling o'er.
Now flings it in forkfuls away.
Another is stowing it back,
'With white pearls of toll on his brow.
And, treading the hay in his track.
Looms faintly the boy in the mow.
Through crevices often can he
View, past the old barn wall of brown,
A river that leads to the sea,
A railway that drives to the town.
"Oh, when shall my fortune make hay
In yon fields of splendor, and how?
Twill wait for full many a day:
I'm only a boy in a mow."
A olond like a flag from the sky
Is splendidly spread and unrolled:
The sun reaches down from on high
To fringe it with silver and gold.
"Oh, -when will heaven's mercy my nam
As bright as those colors allow?
But earth has no glory or fame
To waste on a boy in the mow."
A cloud in the west, like a paU,
Creeps upward and hangs in the light;
It carries a gloom over all.
It looks like a part of the night.
With clamor the thunderbolts swarm.
And trees bend in agony now;
" Tis thus, too, that poverty's storm
Would conquer the boy in the mow!"
The clouds have flown into a dream.
The birds are discoursing in glee.
The smile of the sun is agleam
On river and hilltop and tree.
Look up to the heavens, little lad.
And then to your earth duties bow.
And tone day both worlds may be glad
-To honor the boy from the mow!

WHEN A WOMAN IS PRESIDENT. '
Such a PosaifeUltr Does NetOpa Um Av
sues rr 'Wild Alarm.
"It is not impossible," says The Cath
olic World, "to conceive that the tine
may come when a feminine hand may
hold even the helm of state."
The state referred to by this Roman
Catholic magazine is of course dor own
republic, for women have often been at
the head of monarchical states, and at
this very time Victoria is the nominal
ruler of Great Britain; but, as it says, in
such states "the advent of a woman to
the kingly or imperial throne was the
result of a dynastic exigency. In the
case of ajady president of the American
republic it would be the outcome of
constitutional revolution."
moreover, tne queens ana empresses,
Zenobia, Catherine, Maria Theresa and
the rest, had only men for counselors.
"A lady president with a feminine cabi
net" is the possibility here, if the polit
ical rule is transferred to the feminine
majority, which already exists in the
older states, and which, before woman
suffrage is granted, will probably exist
in the Union generally. If women vote,
they will be eligible to all political oft
flees, elective or appointive.
If a woman-ever becomes president of
the United States, there will be nothing
to prevent her from having a feminine'
camnec, ana it is reasonable to suppose
nay, it is inevitable that she will have
women in her cabinet and will appoint
women to other offices as embassadors
abroad, as judges and in all the depart-
ments of the civil service. If the mili
tary service is allowed to continue un
der feminine rule, she may reserve itt
harsh duties for men only, though per
haps there are places on the staff for
which she would regard women as fitted.
Of course if we had a woman president
we snouia De sure to nave women in congress.
It is on this account that Professor
Gtoldwin Smith opposes woman suffraee
in England. He says that it would im
ply the substitution of a feminine for a
masculine policy, and such a change he
regards as perilous to the welfare of the
state. Women, being in the majority in
England, would hold the whip hand no-
litically. They could do as they pleased
if they had the suffrage. They could
rule the state in their own wav. and as
majorities have always insisted on exer
cising the supreme power whenever it
has been within their reach Professor
Goldwin Smith assumes that the fem
inine majority in England would be no
exception to the rule. Having the op
portunity to govern, they would im
prove it by governing after their own
pleasure. They would introduce a dis
tinctively feminine policy as distin
guished from the masculine policy of the
past, fears and forecasts this serious pro
fessor. He is afraid to be put at the
mercy of women.
Such a possibility in this republic does
not frighten us, and apparently it does
not frighten The Catholic World. Sim
ilar evil prognostications were made as
to the consequence to society of the en
largement of the "sphere" of women.
The enlargement has come, but the
dreaded result has not followed. Wom
en are not "unsexed." They still wield
the most gracious and wholesome and
elevating power in society, and if "the
time comes, or when the time comes
that they are allowed to bring their in
fluence to bear directly on the state by
means- of the suffrage, we have no fear
that they will misuse that influence.
As Tho Catholic World says, "The
world is made up of men and women,
and whatever is best for the common in
terest of both is the one great and per
petual principle of human polity.1
Women are no more the enemies of men
than are men of women. One of the
women who discuss the subject in a de
partment which that magazine has
opened for its treatment by Catholic
feminine writers adds to this the sound
philosophy that there are no "distinct
ly feminine as apart from human in
terests to be agitated for." For that
reason she dees not want the suffrage.
but for the same reason woman suffrage
cannot produce or promote a conflict of
interest between men and women, be
cause by the law of nature their in
terests are identical. The management
of the affairs of the state will remain
with those fittest to" exercise the powers
and discharge the functions of govern
ment, whether they be men or women.

On a not lay last summer a New York
woman passed through the city en route
frem her summer home in northern Ver

while iaM"g her selections noticed the

woman she had often encountered in the

and the girl thought she oould, where
upon in a brief conversation with the
etor the matter was arranged, and
next morning the young glove seller
her back on the hot and dusty
city, ticketed through to her patron's
lovely summer home.
Mean time her kind hearted hostess had
sent a dispatch to her husband, whom
she had left in possession with several
male friends to enjoy the hunting and
fishing, announcing her portegee's ar
rival, and its import. Accustomed to his
I wife's warm hearted ways and always
willing to second them, he saw to it that
the young stranger was received and
oared for. His wife's carriage was placed
daily at her disposal, and two weeks of
thorough rest were provided for her.
She was in her place in the shop again
when her benefactor passed throucrh on
her homeward way, and the good of her
vacation was most satisfactorily appar

Lady Charlotte Schrieber is the only
woman in the world, if wo except the
Baroness Burdett-Coutts, who can boast
of being a free woman of a London city
company, she owes this nonor to tne
Fanmakers. for she is at the present time
the great authority on ancient and mod
ern, foreign and British fans, and the
splendid collection which she lately pre
sented to the British museum is vi i tea
almost daily by people from all parts of
the world. Lady Charlotte was born in
the year of Napoleon's retreat from Mos
cow and was the only daughter of the
Earl of Lindsay.
Although her greatest interest will al
ways be her fans (she spent something
like 20 years in collecting the 800 rare
specimens now in the museum), she has
performed a piece of very practical phi'
lanthropy in erecting shelters for the
London cabmen, who would all be proud
to give her a ride for nothing. Lady
Charlotte is now quite elderly, but she
is full of bright intelligence and is at
present engaged in an exhaustive work
on old playing cards. The queen, who
is also a collector of curios, takes great
interest in Lady Charlotte's treasures
and accepted the dedication of her book
on fans. Fall Mall Budget.
Needlewomen In Paris.
An inquiry recently made into the con
dition of the needlewomen in Paris shows
that a workwoman cannot count on
earning more than 1,850 francs, or 54 a
year, which is about 3s. Id. a day. The
designers and cutters out of patterns
and the fitters of course are much more
highly paid, receiving in some cases sal
aries of 600 to 800, and perhaps even a
share of profits. The average earnings
of the ordinary seamstress may be put
down at a little, over 2 shillings a day.
M. Jules simond in lbol made an in
quiry into the matter, dealing with 101,-
000 cases, and he calculated the average
daily wage as about 16 pence. There
were among the women concerned about
1,000 earning less than 6 pence per day
and about 600 whose takings were about
8 francs. Ten years ago the average
earnings of milliners were valued by M.
d'Haussonville at over 3 francs a day,
and that of ordinary seamstresses as be
tween 2 francs and 3 francs. If all
trades were taken into account, the re
sult was a little lower, as some trades
were cruelly underpaid, especially sack-
making, at which more than 9 pence a
day could not be earned even by 16 hours
work. St. James Gazette.

She Was Superstitious.
There is a young lady in the census
office who is a smart, clever and well
informed girl generally, but she
superstitious as may be.
k Some time ago she secured her regular
leave and went to Atlantic City to
spend it.
Arriving at a swell hotel, she was as
signed a room. She had unpacked her
things, attired herself in a most attract
ive dress and was about to go down to
dinner when she discovered that the
number of her apartment was 18 With
out a moment's delay she hastily dis
robed and put on her traveling dress,
repacked her trunk, and hurrying down
to the office directed the clerk to send
for .an express wagon to take her lug
gage to anoiner notei. wnen the as
tonished young man requested a reason
for her sudden determination, she told
him. He said another room would be
placed at her disposal, but she replied
that she "could not sleep under the roof
after such a warning as that," and off
she went to another hostelry.
Next day she made her way to Jack
son's 'bathing house to take a hot bath.
Iftfeu she was conducted to it, she gave
a horrified shriek and nearly fainted. It
was bathroom 18.

Miss Merington Gets the Prise.
Some time ago the directors of the
National Conservatory of Music, of
which Mrs. Jeannette M. Thurber is
president, offered a prize of 800 for the
best original libretto for grand opera or
opera comique.
This prize has now been awarded to
Miss Marguerite Merington, the author
of "Lettarblair," the comedy in which
E. H. Sothern has been so successful.
Miss Merington is a resident of New
York and a graduate of the normal col

that institution. The title of her opera
is "Daphne," and it is in two acts. New

The "Witched Tree" of Calcutta.
The awful Indian bugaboo, the
"witched tree" of Calcutta, stands near
the residence of C. C. Dillon, an English
lawyer, on the Stanley road, a few miles'
out from Calcutta. It is not a botanical
freak of the "cannibal" or "bloodsuck
ing" variety, neither is it a tree which
exhales poisonous vapors or other deadly
elements it is simply a species of ohurail.
which the natives and not a few of the
English residents believe to be bewitched.
Away back in the sixteenth century
Serega Dowlah and 22 of his men camped
under it about 2 o'clock one morning,
and at daylight all but two were dead.
One of the survivors remained a chat
tering idiot all the rest of the days of his
life, and the other died a horrible death
within the month of a terrible eruption
that swelled his body out of all propor
tions. In the seventeenth century the
tree claimed a score or more of victims..
What they died of no one knew.
My record does not mention the casu
alties of the eighteenth century, but
during the present century they have
been quite numerous. The last victim
was a servant of a Mr. Kemp of the
British department. He took refuge un
der the cursed tree to escape a storm. A
sowar, or mounted policeman, tried to
rescue the servant, but the two men and
horse were found dead next day. Since.
1860 five persons have been struck by
lightning within 100 feet of the "witched
tree." St. Louis Republic.
A Highly Contented Old Maid.
One of the least popularly known but
most influential literary women in New
York is Ellen Hutchinson, the literary
editor of The Tribune, the collaborator
of E. C. Stedman in the "History of
American Literature" and the author of
several volumes of poems very good
poems, too, though little read. Nellie
Hutchinson, as her old friends call her,
does not look like a poet, but like a very
practical, somewhat severe little busi
ness woman. And indeed she is both.
The unfamiliarity of her name is due
to her boundless dislike of all personal
publicity of literary receptions, clubs,
and, in fact, of all the machinery of lit
erary life. She lives in a flat of her own,
nas a iew menus or whom sue sees a
great deal and is a highly contented old
maid in hsr own way. New York Re

Solved by a Woman.
Mrs. Zelia Nut tall, it is said, has at
last solved the enigma of the Mexican
calendar which Von Humboldt and
many other great scientists have worked
at in vain. Mrs. Nuttall's conclusions
have been accepted as final by archaeolo
gists and astronomers, and an elaborate
work will soon be published by her.
Mrs. Nuttall first made her discovery by
reading a brief resume of her work be
fore the anthropological congress at
Chicago. Years of work and the closest
study of a mind trained in mathematics
and astronomy and stored with history
and archiBology were needed to unravel
this mystery of the calendar stone. St.

A great many people have what
call bine Monday that is, they do not
fell so well then as on other days of the
week. The cause is found in overeating
on Sunday. A good dinner is provided
and eaten, and then, instead of taking
the customary exercise, the man sits
about the house and reads or sleeps. Of
course he feels badly the next day. If
the same amount of exercise and kind of
diet were taken on Sunday as all other
days, there would be no such thing as a.

During Stonewall Jackson's campaign
in the Shenandoah valley it became nec

should be built in great haste. One
evening Jackson sent for his old pioneer
captain, Meyers by name, and pointed
out to him the urgency of the occasion,
saying that he would send him the plan
of his colonel of engineers as soon as it
was done. Next morning Jackson rode
down to Captain Meyers' quarters, and'

r Methodist Deaconesses In India.
From the very first it has seemed near
ly impossible to get the idea clearly fixed
in the public mind that a Methodist dea
coness is a woman who devotes herself
to any work to which she is adapted.
and which the church is willing to give
her. The popular notion is that a dea
coness is a woman who visits the sick
and poor and devotes herself to such
forms of holy drudgery as other women
shrink from. Such is by no means her
calling. Her mission is wide as the
world and broad as the sphere of human
wants. In our "faroff India we have
never limited our duties within the nar
row boundaries set up for her in moat
parts of the United States.
For instance, the principal of the only
Christian woman's college in all Asia is
a Methodist deaconess. The principal
of the Calcutta girls school, our largest
boarding school in India, is a Methodist
deaconess. The editor of two of our
Indian periodicals is a Methodist deacon
ess. The most successful and gifted lady
evangelist, working among the natives of
India is a Methodist deaconess. A dozen
or more of our working lady missionaries
in India are Methodist deaconesses. One
of our most active lady physicians is a
Methodist deaconess. In short, we have
long since solved this question, which the
good people m America are inst begin
ning to debate, and we are able to call
the attention of the church not only to
what we have attempted, but to what
we have actually accomplished in the
way of enlarging the sphere in which
deaconesses can move and act. Bishop J.
M. Thoburn in Western Christian Advo

The Board of Iady Managers.
The sessions of the board of lady man
agers or tne world's lair have been
quite an interesting feature of the great
exposition, and visitors in great nam-
. bers have sought- admission. Mrs. Pot
ter Palmer is a graceful and able pre
siding officer, and naturally the most
conspicuous figure of the assembly.
JNext to net an elderly, but very vig
orous lady; whose blond hair refuses to
turn gray and hangs in curls behind her
ears, is an object of interest. This is
Mrs. Isabella Beecher Hooker, sister of
Henry Ward Beecher, and a very bright
and interesting woman. She is always
to be found in her place at the left of
the front row and keeps a sharp outlook
on all that is transpiring.
There are two little managers who are
known as "the tigers," and their mission
appears to be to contest and wrangle
orer every question. This tall, hand
some woman, who is remarkably well
versed in parliamentary law, is Mrs.
Eagle, wife of the governor of Tennessee,
and that slender, handsome woman with
gray hair and bright, black eyes is Mrs.
Rosine Ryan, a real estate dealer from
Texas. Mrs. J. J. Bsgley's fine face
wins the confidence of listeners at once,
and the lady is one of the broadest mind
ed of all the managers. Mrs. Meredith
, of Indiana has fine red cheeks and pret
ty hair and is straightforward in all her
methods. Aitogetner it is a unique garn
ering, for it represents the first national
nruss of women convened for the
-nwnagement of national interests. New

She Felt Chicago.
Miss Marion Couthony Smith of East
Orange, N. J., whose poem on "Chicago,"
printed last March in The Century, was
reread a week ago in the Woman's build
ing at the fair, pref aced its recent read
ing with the remark: "Among the news
paper comments upon this poem was one
which amused me greatly, and pleased
me also, because of its unintentional
praise. The critic said of me: 'She evi
dently lives in Chicagol' I am a native
of Philadelphia and now live just across
the river from Now York. I never saw
Chicago until last week, but I felt her."
Oh, "wind of the dead men's feet," blow softly.

Why should yo waken them from quiet slumber
within carta's toil worn breast?
The tlay will come when, like a mighty ocean
Inch rolls from pole to pole.
RcsL-tless thou wilt sweep tho nations over.
And then must every soul
Prepare to meet the One, who, following after.
Appearcth in the east.
And wakeneth all men from death's dreamless
slumber.
Tho greatest and the least.
So, "wind of tho dead men's feet," blow softly.
Until shall dawn that day
When, strong and terrible, thou wilt give
warning
That all things pass away.

Woman Suffrage In Wyoming.
Woman suffrage in Wyoming has a
record of which its friends may be
proud. In the 10 years from 1880 to 1890
the ratio of crime to population fell off
more than half, though it is said to be
increasing iti other parts of tho country.
Wyoming's neighbor, Oregon, has 3
times as many offenders. In all the
prisons of Wyoming not one woman was
ever imprisoned for any offense what
ever. The Wyoming house of repre
sentatives itself has declared that under
woman suffrage the jails of the state are
almost empty. Chicago Post.

Napoleon's Hats.
Careful inquiry has led to tho discov
ery that there are no fewer than nine of
Napoleon Ts hats still in existence. A
writer in The Vie Contemporaine gives
a list of them. One is in the possession
of Mme. Claitte, whose grandfather,
General Giraud, picked it up nt Ma
rengo. At a critical moment Bonaparte
started off at a gallop, and the wind
blowing off his hat he did not stop to
pick it up.
Another of the hats is in a little crypt
beside Napoleon's tomb at the Invalides.
This was worn on the 7th, 8th and 0th of
February, 1807, at Eilau, and it is the
identical one represented in tho colossal
picture of the battle by Gros, to be seen
in tho Louvre. During the peace which
succeeded the battle Gros was commis
sioned to paint the picture, and in order
that the figure of the emperor might be
faithfully depicted the hat was given to
the painter.
At the death of Gros in 1835 it was
found under a glass case upon a wooden
stand, and it was sold by auction among
the painter's effects for 2,047 francs 50
centimes to Dr. Delacroix, who present
ed it to Louis Philippe. The later, after
the famous second funeral of Napoleon,
ordered it to bo placed beside there
mains with the emperor's crosses and the
sword he wore at Austeilitz. Of the re
maining hats one belongs to Prince Vic
tor Napoleon and another to the museum
at Gotha. London News.,
