Miss Willard was at once an evan gel and an agitator. She was both teacher and student. She was an or * ganizer as well as an advocate, and under her gentle yet resolute lea.der ship the uplifting irdiunces of Amer iean womanhood have secompished their highest achievements. Her n dertakings appealed to the moral in fluences of society.

Something like a dozen years ago a New England woman came to New York City to find some opening for a good business. She talked of all sorts of things, from millinery to house cleaning, but for a long time could fix upon nothing. She was very strongly urged to open a coffee and cake room upon one of the populous thorough fares in the business centre of the city. At that time there was nothing of the sort in that locality. For some reason the idea did not seem to strike her, because, as she said, she feared that it would not be a proper location for such a thing. There would be no patronage. She finally went into some commer cial speculation, lost part of her money, and went back East, not at all pleased with her venture. About the time, she left the city a restaurant was opened in almost pre cisely the locality that had been rec ommended to her. Por a few days the cooking was very good and relish able. 2 Of course, everything uas new and clean and attractive, and a great future was Drophesied for the enter prise. Bat~the quality of the food was low~ered, the place grew dingy and disordered; nothing was kept up in prop2r shiipe; yet the proprietors made a large amount of money before finally going out of business. If this New England woman, -who was a most admirable cook, and understood how to put things together in a most ap petizing fashion, had started the place she would, no doubt, hrave reaped a formune. There is nothing for which people arc more willing to pay than forgoo things to eat, and to be an ~ % eepert in the preparation of almost any sort of food is to have at command a means of obtaining a good livelihood. -New York=Ledger.

Black gowns in cloth and various other new -black materials are very fashionable. The printed varieties are very beau tiful, and the pompadour and Indian designs will be much employed. Among the latest embroideries are zouve and bolero fronts, with long panels reaching almost to the hem of the skirt. Narrow chinchilla borders trim some of the simple but elegant cos tumes being prepared for Lenten wear this season.

Startlng Ad,entures of a Famfly ounad For the Gold Fields. An eight-dog Klondike team swung into Tacoma, Washington, one day recently, drawing a small prairie schooner containing D. C. Blandy and wife and four-year-old boy, of Brain ard, Minn. Blandy had driven 2500 miles and has just $30 in his blue mud-spattered jeans, $5 - less than when he started from his chicken ranch, August 29th last. Since then there were ninety-four days that he did not travel, leaving sixty-foar days of actual time en routes His dogs are Newfoundlaads and St, Bernards mixed, and their every mus cle is as hard as those of a well-trained prize fighter. Some days Blandy travels sixty and seventy miles, and once, when lost in the Bad Lands of the Dakotas, he traveled thirty-six hours continuously, without water for his family or dogs. If he had not been rescued by a rancher, all would have perished. On that occasion he traveled over 100 miles without the dogs giving out. At times in cross ing the continent, he has waded through six feet of s%ow and at times he traveled on the railroad tracks, running on schedule time between trains and always reporting to the train dispatchers for orders before starting out. He asks $100 apiece for his dogs and was offered $75 each be fore he had been in town ten minutes. His wife enjoyed the ride and the boy says it was a picnic from start to fin ish. Blandy's most thrilling adventure was near Medora, Montana. A cow boy told him at Fargo to watdh out for wild steers, which would chase and kill his dogs. Only a horse wi. fight them off. -Pete Pelican, a rancher near Medora, who furnished the wild steers for the Mandan fair, told Blandy he would encounter the vic ions animals near there. Blandy-was directed to take a certain road by Pelican and he now believes' Pelican deliberately guided him into the steers. They began following one of his dogs, and when he whipped- up the others and tried to escape, they began run ning and gathering from all directions, until nearly a thousand were bellow ing and tearing up the. ground. Blandy was finally surrounded by the steers. His dogs crouched on the ground in their harness and barking, showed fight. The steers would have ground them to death, together with the entire family, if Blandy had not seized a blacksnake whip and single handed fought back the entire herd. This held them off but an instant, and they closed in again', driving Blandy whica he had with him. The pbny was well broke for such work and at once began biting and pawing at the steers. Blandy used his blacksnake vigorously and soon had the steers on the run. Joe.Wheelor's Mail. Representative General Joe Wheeler, of Alabama, was recently struck in a strange manner with his own iniquity, according to the latest story about him. General Wheeler sends Gov ernment publications and his own speeches to nearly 10,000 of his con stituents, the largest list of names in the department. The last time he was in Alabama he overtook a little maii on foot who was grunting and perspiring under a heavy mail sack. "Neighbor," said the General, "won't you step in and ride with me?" The invitation was accepted promp.. ly, and the two rode along for a while, when General Wheeler said: "Friend, why don't you have a horse and wagon? A man of your ye'ars ought not to be tuggiog heavy mail sacks on his shoulders." "Wa], I would," drawled the rural mail carrier, "ef it war't fer General Wheeler up in Washington. I hev hed three horses and three wagons, but those heavy mail packages that he sends down hear killed every horse, and now I just tote them myself." Without disclosing his own identity General Wheeler drove ten miles out of his way to put the aged mail car rier down at his destination. Then he purchased his constituent a horse that 1cost $80.-Atlanta Constitution. Attendanco at International Exhibitions.

Set on Fire by the Waves. On the western coast of Ireland, at Ballybunion, the sea set fire to the cliffs. For centuries the great Atlantic rollers had been breaking them down and making great fissures in them. In their depths were masses of iron pyrites and alum. At last the water pene trated to these, and a rapid oxidization took place, which produced a heat fierce enough to set the whole cliff on fire. For weeks the rocks burned like a regular volcano, and great clouds of smoke and vapor rose high in the air. When the sparrow-hawk is swooping down on its prey it cleaves space at the speed of 150 miles an hour. -CROWS.

The very latest vehicle to transpor people around is called the trolle; wagon. This interesting contrivanc is really a happy medium between th trolley car and the ordinary vehicle We have had auto-cars and motor-cars but the trolley wagon is neither. I is an invention all by itself, and it source of power is the one thing the enables the trolley car to call it a firs cousin. The motor of the wagon is connecte 1 to the rear wheel by suitable gearing It is about 15-horsepower. It is powerful affair, for its two rear wheel are eight feet in diameter. The tw front wheels are four feet in diametei The frame supporting the motor i suspended from the wagon frame. The width of the wheels is consi erable, and as the front wheels ax much nearer together than the rea wheels the wagon acts to quite degree as a road roller. One of th advantages of the trolley wagon i ' that the worst road in the country h no terrors for it. The 'width of it - wheels and the way theA are adjuste make it - possible for it to even rid over. plowed ground in\6afety, an rbugh road generally -ianses! The trolley itself is adapted to run either on two or three wires. Every one who has seen a troilly car must have noticed the little wheel that runs along on the wire. This is called the locking wheel, and its movement, which has heretofore been on a vertical plane, is arranged in this instance to operate on a horizontal plane, thus changing complication to simplicity and reducing the cost and weight of the wheel. The inventor of the vehicle believes there are wonderful prospects in store for it. He sees no reason why it may not be utilized in many sections of the country, particularly where street cars do not run, and tBe building of a street car line would involve tremen dons expense. He thinks the trolley wires coulf'be erected, and then all that is needfnl will have been aocom plishe:1, as th trolley wagon can run oer any kind of a road.. The wagon referred to has made a spee-1 on a road of not over good con struction of 15 miles an hour without great jar or accident. The invention certainly possesses the merit of being unique, and is attracting no little in terest among those. who are interested in the future of the trolley. .-Phil adel phia Press. The Self-Possi s4ed Lad. yust where the lad came from is not apparent, but he was a rather crisp looking youngster of 14, small for his size, and foxy about the corners of the eyes and mouth, says the Detroit Free Press. He entered the office of a wholesale house on Larned street east, and approached the head of the estab lishment, who was in a bad humor about something. "Do you t a boy here, sir?' said the appi or a position. "No, we do'n't want a boy here," responded tho merchant with the or dinary manner of a man in a bad humor. "Are yo'u sure, sir?" "Of course ITanm! Don't I know my business? Get out!" "What's that sitting on the stool over there?" asked the caller very po litely, and without being at all dis turbed by his reception. "He's our office boy," replied the merchant rather taken aback. "You want him here, don't you?" ''Of course."~ "He's a boy, ain't he?" "Yes." "Well, then, sir, you are mistaken when you say you don't want a boy [here. What you r-eal ended say in was that von didr-.Ad me here. Good morning, sir. 'And before the merchant could pull himself together this remarkable youth got out, and was lost in the crowd on the street. His "Musical Heart" of Tremendous Size.
