MICROSCOPIST.

seerne strange that more women have
rot turned their attention to microscopie
work, as being peculiarly adapted to their
sibilities. Among the few that have done
so certainly ;tone in this country has
gained greater distinction than Mrs. Lou-
ise Reed Stowell, now a Wathington.
From the begillping o ber career Mrs.
Stowell has been the reeent of dietin-
guithed honors front the ealentille world.
She was apeointed a member ot the etc.
ulty a the Woodruff soientific expedition
and was the firet American woman elected
a member of the Royal Microscopleal so-
ciety of London, but one since has enjoyed
it like boner.
On account of the great amount of her
original microscopio work she has oleo
been made an honorary Inember of the
lellehigen Pharmaceutical associntion, al-
though women are not admitted as mem-
hera. For several years shohae been pres-
ident of the Niirthwestern Collegiate no.
elation and in Ise8 was sent as delegate to
the international congress of women.
The name of Mrs. Stowell is aleo well
known in eeleutifie literature, as tem has
for years acted both as editor and cuntrib-
lens. Lorin REED sTOIVELL.
utor to the best known publications of a
purely scientific character. To her attain-
ments she eilds that of being an artist in
crayon, charcoal and pen and ink, and il-
lustrates her articles in a manner at no
same time admirably accurate and charm-
Ingly artistic. This is a most valuable ao-
oomplishmens as the apparatus for photo-
graphing from the microscope is rather
elaborate and very costly.
Mrs. Stowell's work at the University
ef Michigan lay along the lines usually
considered the driest and most unattract-
ive in the allele realm of science, as it
was almost oeclusively pharmaceutical in
character and had to do chiefly with the
study of dried roots, barks and herbs. She
managed, however, to invest even these
unpromising subjects with a living, vital
interest, and during this period wrote a
series of articles upon the microscopical
structure of wheat and flour that drew
widespread attention to the brilliant qual-
ity of her work.
Mrs. Stowell left the University of Mieb -
igen to accept a position in the agricul-
tural department at Washington. Ste was
chosen for the especial purpose of nmaing
a microscopical examination of wheats,
first of the same variety growing in dif-
ferent localities and then a comparison of
the different varieties, in order to ascer-
tain if possible which contained the most
glUten and wbich the greatest amount of
nitrogenous products'the aim of the in-
vestigation being to find out which vari-
eties of wheat were best adapted to the
varying soils in the different localities of
the United States. -Chicago Record.
Abusing an Education.
In a thoughtful paper on "A Waste of
Education" in Tho Woman's Home Coin-
panion Brand Banner. Hucalleston speaks
of the tendency of wornen to permit their
talents to rust out:
"Mental culture may be the most costly
or the most valuable gift of parents to
their children just as they care for it after
they get it. It is certain that few would
equally neglect a material property of like
monetary cost as they often do their edu-
cations. This, too, when money is the
very shortest tapeline ,by whittle amental
gift may be measured. Perhaps it is due
n part to the mistaken idea that when we
ave quitted the schoolroom we carry with
us a Stationary fund of knowledge that
will or ought to be sufficient for our fu-
ture.
"Look at tbe piles of hard dollars and
the illimitable hours oftime spent every
year in the study and practice of music:
alone. Except for the good they are to
teachers and to the makers of musical in-
strut:ciente, the bale mightas vvell be wiped
out of oxietenee at one clean sweep. A
decent little eternity might be made out
of the time. And this continues to exist
and repeat itself generation after genera-

serve as a suggestion to some mother who
finds herself confronted with a teenier
problem in the training of her chilti, for
there are ebildren wit() seem to stand atone
--Who:eo tenor natures are baffling end
bard to reach. This mother had in the
kindergarten a daugliter over 7 years of
ago who had reached the mental develop -
Mont of a child of 4. Tim kindergartners
were deeply interested in t/10 child, for she
eemned FO lonely. She was much larger
than the other children, and her size
seemed to make hex, awkward and self con-
scious. Iler teacher compare. her to a
blind child groping in the dark. She
would watch and listen, and. yet she did
not grasp what was said, At last light
broke slowly, but sureiy. Her mind opened
and she gave evidence of comprehension,
end at last conceived and worked out ae
Iden of lier awn. This was the nfoment of
exquisite happiness that the true kinder-
gartner son.ut Imes experiences.
At tbe next mothers' meeting the moth•
er of this obild was present. The kinder-
gartner einen as her topic, treated in the
most elelnenten7 language, "Tbe Way to
Reach the Child. ' Her recent experience
with this II:tie shadowed miud mate) her
mom eloquent and tender than usual. The
mother of tho shadowed ono listened, lean-
ing forward in hor intensity. She lingered
when the other mothers left. Looking
deeply into the oyes of the kindergartner,
ahe said, with evident emotion:
"You have given me a key to Katie's
mind" -the had gained a new word. "I
know now I have not tried to help her. I
shut her out. Yon know, I was angry all
the time because the was not like other
children. It vexed me to see even the lit-
tle children turn away from her. When
the older ones laughed at her, it was un-
bearable." She had sbut her fist by het
side, and her eyes flashed.
After a little she continued in a eaimel
strain: "Now I see 1 should have kept her
with me and been patient and led her.
She is slow at waking up. I see it now.
You have given me the key to niy child's
mind."
The next afternoon -for Katie attended
the afternoon session of the kindergarten
-she came in radiant, announcing, "I
helped my mother -I washed the dishes!"
Katie is no longer a oonapanionless child.
Her mother bee become her friend ,and
companion. -New York Ledger.
For the Dressing Table.
Long narrow baskets, such as may be
prooured at almost any fancy goods shop,
are very ornamental for one's dressing ta-
ble when lined with pink, yellow, blue or
lavender silk. Huge bunches of baby
ribbon, the same shade as the silk lining,
thould be fastened at each end. These are
eery useful receptacles for jeweled bat -
pins, fancy hairpins and the like.
A traveler says that the Australian
woman is not graceful, although tall and
well formed. She is fond of dress, but has
none of the good taste or obio of the Pc.
risienae nor the sobriety of the English
woman. She is usually overdressed and
gives one the impression of having no ar-
tistic sense of the fitness of things.
The woman With Nerves.
Nervous dieetises among women are be-
cornieg more and more common, and,
though tho woinan of today has many ad-
vantagas her grandmother did not have,
sbeelias not the physical strength, and
sleet) no longer 001nOS as nature's gift to
her. It has, to be wooed with nostrums,
nor can nerves be kept quiet and normal
without the aid of innumerable bromides.
Perhaps the higher education is not as
much to blame as the rushing to and fro
to satisfy longings that had better be set
aside or quenched altogether.' Neither the
church, soctety nor the business world oan
ever suftioiently recompense the woman
Whose health is wrecked by being con-
stantly reminded that she bas"nerves."-

Ministda of We; Lieut. -Gen. Correa, as
to the engagement off Manila:
"Saturday night, April 80, the batter-
ies at the entrance to the port announced
the arrival of the enemy's squadron,
forcing a passage under the obscurity of
the niglit. At daybreak the enemy took
up positions, opening with a strong fire
against Fort Cavite and the arsenal.
"Our fleet engaged the enemy in a
brilliant combat, protected by the Cavite
and Manila forts. They obliged, the
enemy, with heavy loss, to maneetivre
repeatedly. At 9 o'clock the American
squadron took refuge behind the foreign
rnerahant shipping, on the east side of
She bay.
"Our fleet, considering the enemy's
superiority, naturally suffered a severe
loss. The Maria Christina is on Bre, and
another ship, believed to be the Don
Juan de Austria, was blown up.
"There was considerable loss of life.
Captain Cadarso, commanding the Maria
Christina, is among, the killed. I cannot
now give further details. The spirit of
the navy and volunteers is excellent."

and the wedding was furnished with
guests." Our present commission is to
go everywhere with the invitation that tbe
time of the marriage may come.
D. "And wben the king caine in to see
the guests he saw tbere a mail which bad
not on a wedding garment." There is one,
and only one, who will judge every one
and everything (Acts xvii, 31). His eyes
are as a flame of fire, and nothing oan
escape Him or them. It is a small matter
comperatively what people think of us.
Christ is the Judge, not they. He has, by
being made sin for us, provided a perfect
righteousness which Be gives freely to any
one who will truly accept Him (II Cor. v,
21). It is illustratoa in the coats of skins
provided for Adam and Eve (Gen. iii, 21),
and plainly stated by the believer in Isa.
lxi, 10.
12. "And He saith unto him, Friend,
how calmest thou in hither not having a
wedding garment? And he was speeohless."
As the thief is ashamed when he is found
(Jer. it, 26), so sinners shall be asbamed
and confounded when brought before His
eyes of fire, and I John it, 28, indioates a
possibility of believers being in some sense
and measure ashamed also.
18. "Then said the king to the servants,
Bind him hand and foot and take him
away and oast bit into outer darkness.
There shall be weeping and gnashing of
teeth." Only in SOVOn places do we find
this expression indicating great torment.
The other places are Math. viii, 12; xiii,
42, 50; xxiv, 51; xxv, 80, and Luke xiii,
28. In each case they are from His lips
who was the manifestation of the love of
God, and who so loved us that He gave
Himself for us and came from the glory
of heaven to 33 years of unparalleled hu-
miliation on this earth that we might not
perish or know the meaning of Vale awful
tortnent.
14. "For many are called, but few are
chosen." The same words are found in
chapter xx, 16, in connection with'"the
last shall be first and the first last." See
also chapter xis, 80, and notice the content
concerning rewards. We are often at fault
in our judgment of who are believers aneel
who aro not, of who are really zealous fet
God and His glory Rad who are not. But
the eyes of the King will maae no mis-
take. Let us not judge others, but as be
His sight judge ourselves most severely,
and honestly pray the words of Ps. exxxix,
23, 24; xix, 14. 'When we are. inclined to
look at others, may we heat Him say:
"What is that to thee l Follow thou Mel"
