txk a full classical course aud graduat
ed with a B'od record.
Three years ago she was graduated.
She went next to Cambridge, where she
took postgraduate work at the Harvard
annex, and a year ago went to Europe,
partly for her health and partly to
study. Mrs. McLean went from Califor
nia and chaperoned her daughter. It
was while in New Y'ork, just beiuro
sailing for Europe, that the offer of an
iustructorship in English at Stanford
came to Miss McLean. It was secured
for her, by certain powerful friends, who
arranged to have it held. open for her
until her return from Europe. Up to
that time Miss McLean's tastes- had led
her in literary and classic paths, but
she had had no definite aim in her
preparation. She expected, vaguely, to
teach, but just what or where had not
entered iub her calculations.
Miss McLean went first to England,
where she entered the Oxford college
annex. Later she studied in Berlin aud
traveled extensively. Her health im
proved rapidly, and she paid ciose at
tention to the methods in the various
foreign institutions where she was a '
special student At Stanford Miss Mc
Lean is to be an adjunct to the chair cf
English literature. 'For the present her
work will be confined to freshmen and
sophomores, and she will do nothing
but correct and commeuc upon themes.
Gradually she will have instructing to
do and so become a full fledged assist
ant professor. Miss McLean is a good
Latin and Greek scholar and proficient
in modern languages. She will intro
duce a number of European methods,
culled from the prrst colleges, all of
which she has visited, into her new department-

Women Who Dta In Pain.
The latent fad smou women in Lon
don and Iaris is dressing in pairs that
is, two vromen when going out together
dress aliktv in every particular. An
American who has- just returned from
a trip abroad said in speaking of the
craze:
" I was much astonifihed on my first
drive in the park to notice so many
women gowned exactly alike. I had
never beard of the fad, so of course
quite uat orally supposed the first pair
to be sisters, possibly twins. Ijen, see
ing the same sight so often, I began to
notice that the women often appeared
to be widely separated in point of age. I
was puzzled and finally astmisbed when
an acquaintance of former years drove
by with her double in point of dress.
She was a woman who had never had a
sister yet there she sat with a woman,
apparently about the fame age and al
most the saEiO coloring, dressed exactly
like her.
"You may be sure that before I slept
that night I learnnd the reason for the
apjeuvut frequency of twins in London.
But when I learned it was a fad my
surprise was not at all diminished. It
seemed 6o contrary to the nature of
woman to want another woman, a pos
sible rival, to have identically the same
things. I know that the women of my
acquaintance always make an effort to
have things quite different and never
forgive a modiste when sho makes the
mistake of turning out other gowns
even resembling their own.
"On my next drive in the park I
made it my business to keep a count,
and I noticed no fewer than 36 of these
pairs. That evening, when talking with
an old friend who has been abroad for
quite awhile, I asked for an explana
tion of the fad.
" 'The only way I can account for it,'
said she, "is that it takes two English
women tc. have an idea and then they
both have to dress on it.
"In Paris I noticed the same thing,
though not nearly so frequently. I saw,
I presume, about 15 or 20 such couples
during a two mouths Etay. But, as
they were Frenchwomen I suppose the
fad has been taken up over there, and
perhara later in the 6euson New York
will feel the effects and ou our own
streets women will make themselves
conspicuous by dressing as twins."

An American who has just returned
from a trip to Sweden says that the
custom in the cool north country that
impressed him most was the manner in
which every one, young and old, leaps
off of the street cars. There seems to be
a general understanding that passengers
will get on ejr off the ear while it is in
motion, and a fall or an ret idea t of any
kind seldi m, if ever, follows this origi
nal way of boarding or leaving a vehi
cle. "The manner in which the women
jump aboard, swinging on with all the
agility of an American conductor, is
quite astonishing," says this; observing
tourist "They do it as a matter of
course, and do not appear to be at all
proud of their acccumplishment. A car
is rushing along at a good speed, and
just ahead a pretty young Swedish wo-

bit and she slides on as gracefully as if
she were a freight brake-man on a west
ern railway.
"The most astonishing thing about it
is the artistic manner in which the
women alight at full speed. In doing
so they face ahead, holding on by the
hand nearest the borst, throw the body
backward when they jump, land lightly
;n their feet, take a hop, a fckip or two,
and there they are, safe and sound.
Really, they overturn one of the laws
of nature in performance of this feat
woman's nature at least. My rather ex
tensive observations in America have
lod me to the conclusion that woman is
soceustitrtod it is impossible for her to
alight from a moving rtreet car any
other way than the wrong way that is
to say, by holding on with the hand
which turns her face to the car and
jumping or rather falling off backward.
Ninety -nine women out of 10C in Amer
ica alight from a street car in such
manner that if the vehicle were to start
while they were in the act they would
be thrown to the ground. American
women excel the women of all ether
soon tries In beaaty, grace, refinement
mud lots of other tilings, but they could
Iearn valuable basons in getting on and
off street cars by going to Sweden. "

Titers arc some points of differe-nee in
the ruikiug of the skirts thij season.
To begin with, they are narrower. Very
rarely is an exaggeratedly wide fekirt
swen, and then it is one that is cut in
t ne piece, circular a style only to be
attempted by some genius in skirt
hanging, fewer gores never more than
five the front aud side breadths much
straighter, still tight fitting over the
Lips and all fullness well to ;he Kick,
where it is laid in small box plaits.
There is still used a narrow facing of
haircloth, and a stiff ruffled petticoat is
necessary as ever to keep the dress skirt
from falling in around the feet Sleeves
are small to the shoulder. In tailor
gowns they are very pretty a much
modified coat sleeve, with just a little
fullness at the top. Almost all skirts
are trimmed or made of some figured
sides, instead of only one, like las') win
ter, aud the narrow is preferred to the
wide unless when the wide braids and
very narrow soutache are combined.
Street gowns are short, to clear the
ground; bouse gowns are all long, while
dinner gowns, etc, are made with
trains. For street wear darkjcolors will
be the most fashionable, but for recep
tions and the house all the light colors
are in style, both for old and young.
Buttons, buckles and brilliant trim
mings will be greatly used, while laoe,
both black and white, will continue to
be worn with every possible style of

WOMEN GOLD SEEKERS.
A Tnonc Jmmiii On Thei
Kins' Pinoer Mining; Mnehinn.
A young Japaneisc can an natures to
the heaior of being the first of hex coun
try people to brave the terrors of a win
ter in ATa- in search of gold. The
young woman is Kitishina Taka Hasche,
known to ruagazina readers by the
nam de plume of Onotei Watanna. Like
the rust of the people ot her country,
she is energetic and takes an interest in
all new things, especially in the ad
vancement cf her sex. She has identi
fied hijrself with the 'Woman's Alaska
Gold cl fb, the officers of whioh are in
the Monadnock building, and she pro
poses to be one of those who will leave
in the spring for tho goldfields with
Miss Florence King, the head of the or
ganization. Mi- I Ia.sc he is enthusiastic en the
subject of wjaipn's opportunities in the
frozen north an gives it as her opinion
that the percentage of thoso of her sex
who start and turn back will not be as
great as among the men. In appearance
Miss Hasc-he is small. She dresses mod
estly and is an incessant talker.
Miss King says the women of her
club who go to tho goldficlds will en
gage in active mining. She proposes to
do so herself, and with that iWect in
view and being cf an inventive turn ef
mind she is just completing a machine
which she predicts will revolutionize
placer ruining in the frozen north. Miss
King says of her invention:
" Women have heretofore shrunk from
the idea of mining in Alaska on account
of the severe cold and the seeming im
possibility of digging the gold from the
frozen earth. I believe that I have now
solved the problem and that mining can
be carried on in Alas.;a by women and
that gold can be washed out of the earth
as easy as washing dishes. Experiments
have been made with this device on
substances which have been subjected
to the severest degree of cold which an
ice machine can attain, and the sub
stances melt as rapidly as ice in hot wa
ter. The process is simple in operation
rnd can be worked by any one. The
heat applied can be confined to any de
sired area, so that the side walls of the
shaft are in no danger of caving, and
timber will not be necessary. The ma
chine can be easily merved. from one
place to another, so that the miner may
operate wherever it is desired. "
The machine is to become a part of
the property of the 'Woman's Alaska
Gold club, and it will be at liberty to
do whatever it pleases with it Miss
King favors leasing it to other com
panies and using the prooeeds in devel
oping mining property fo? the woman's

A Cynic's gnoMUw.
Here is an ingenious plan of a French
writer on hygiene to persuade women
to adopt loose fitting and therefore
healthier garments: "As long as a small
waist is considered elegant and modish
women will lace, says this old cynic
"Very young girls especially are al
most impossible to control in this re
spect I see only one way to effect a
remedy. Let it be decreed that between
the ages 15 and 25 a floating but be
coming garment shall be worn that will
be like the Greek dress, beautiful, but
so adapted as to allow the growing body
to develop without restraint in the
healthful way nature intended. The
very young girls will hasten to adopt
this costume, because they always wish
to attain the dignity of womanhood.
They will hesitate to quit it, because it
will be an avowal of their age, and un
til they are SO, at least, they will not
be ready to confess to 25, by which
time they will have found the untram
meled garment so comfortable that they
could not be persuaded to relinquish
it"

In view of the recent notable gifts tc
charity by women em both sides of the
sea the title of Frederick Boyle's article
in The Kew Review has a somewhat
startling sound. He discourses on the
"Decline cf Woman. " However, it is
gratifying to learn that it is a decline
in standing rather than in character
that Mr. Boyle has discovered. He says
that women enjoyed a position in Egypt
that was incredible even to the Romans.
Diodorous cays that the supremacy of
the wife was acknowledged in marriage
contracts, the husband agreeing to obey
her in all things. In those times a wom
an made contracts and sold property
without any reference . whatsoever to

new woman is in fact the very oldest
on record.

Am Old Baa Dial.
An interesting story is told of an old
sundial in Pennsylvania which is worth
repeating. In the first part of the lifet
century an honest Irish emigrant named
Porter settled neur Philadelphia. Among
his sons was one named Andrew, whom
he tried to make into a farmer and then,
like his brothers, a carpenter. But An
drew would have nothing to do with the
plow or the plane. Ho hid in corners,
poring over some mathematical books
that had come into his possession.
One day he found the design of a sun
dial in one of them and resolved to
make erne. He walked eight miles to a
KApstcne quarry, found a slab and car
ried it heme on his back. Full of aL
be went to his brothers' shop and used
their saws and chisels in his work.
When thty came home in the evening,
the dial was finished, Andrew was tri
umphant, but every tool in the shop
was nearly or quit ruined. They drove
him into the street in a fury of anger
and contempt
His father, now convinced that he
was an idle good for nothing, who
would never fully earn his bread, bado
him go and. fit himself for school teach
ing, that he called the "lazy man's
work."
Andrew gave himself to hard study
for tho summer and thou went to the
astronomer David Rittunhousc and asked
him to lend him a book on conic sec
tions. "How long have you studied mathe
matics?" demanded the great man.
"Three months."
"And what do yon know of conic sec
tions?" Ritteuhousa rejoined, with
withering contempt
But after asking the boy a few ques
tions be not only lent him the book, but
advised him not to waste his time in
the country, but to go to Philadelphia
and open a mathematical school.
This poor farm boy was afterward
General Andrew Porter, an officer in
tho war of the revolution and an au
thority on mathematical science ia the
young republic
There are plenty of farm boys now
who dislike farm work. It wouldn't be
wise to infer that because of this indo
lent disposition they are Andrew Porters
in embryo. An easy basis for judgment
is to note the use they mako of their
idlo time. Do they give it to conic sec
tions or to baseball? Youth's Compan

at a large Hilary, and also wrote short
steiriesforLipplaoort Latterly her work

Woman's Press club and a prominent

whose purpose is to expense tho fake ad

Dallas was tall, with a beautiful, aris
tocratic face and stately bearing, while
her manner was so gracious and her
acts so kindly that sho endeared herself
to all who knew her. She was 60 years
tf age and began to write at the age of
8, when she ceirapnsed a play that was

and sold at least 8,000 sttiries and as

A Solicitor of Patents.
Miss Edith J. Griswold of New York
city is a solicitor of patents, and sho
carries on her business in a room ou the
fifteenth floor of ono of tho big deiwu
town office buildings. Although Miss
Griswold is youthful in appearance she
has been in her present business for 1 2
years. After being graduated from tho
Normal collego in lh3 she took a spe
cial course in mathematics and pate-nt
office drawing, taught mathematics for a
year and studied patent soliciting. Sine
sho started out in business for herself
she has been very successful. Miss Gris
wold not only obtains patents for people
all over the United States and iu for
eign countries, but gives opinions on
patents and trademarks, and in what
leisure she secures is studying law, with
tho intentiou of passing tbe New York
bar examination. Wi:h all her work
Miss Griswold finds plenty of time for
exercise. Sho ridiss a wheel, is a fine
swimmer and practices several other
branches cf athletics.
Never Strike and Seldom Complain.
Thero is one class eif laborers, says
Tho Woman's Journal, which never
ni rik s and seldom complains. They get
up r.t 5 o'clock in tho morning and nev
er go u bed until 10 or 11 o'clock al
night They work without ceasing dur
ing the whole of that time and receive
no other emolument than food and
clothing. They understand something
of every branch of ecouoniy aud labor,
from finance to conking. Though harass
ed by 100 responsibilities, though driv
en and worried, though reproached aud
looked down upon, they never revolt,
and they cannot organize for their own
protection. Not even sickness relieve
them from their post No sacrifice is
deemed too great for them to make, and
no incompetency in any branch eif their
work is excused. No essays or poems
are written in tribute to their steadfast
ness. They dio in the harness and are
supplanted as quickly as may 1m. These
are the housekeeping wives of the la
boring men.
Antnma Shades,
All the warm, s-ift shades of red and
brown aud yellow are worn this au
tumn. The old fashioned wallflower, if
it were still in bloom, would be quite
correctly garbed as far as colors go,
and the sunflower, violet and peony
would net bo very far behind the fash
ion. All shades of rosy pink, from del
icate anemone to watermelon tint, are
in demand by tho makers of evening
gowrs and by tho trimmers of smart
little bonnets for evening wear or for
calling.
Golden, reddish and russet browns
anvfed for the elaborately trimmed
stroWrdvtvus and for smooth cloth coats.
Purples in wonderful shades of iris
and orchid and "flour de Russie" are
ecn in ribbons, in dress goods and iu
velvet Blues in half a dozen more
shades than are worn usually are shown
for cloth suits. Ne York Commercial.
Flats sad Bonneta.
The first autumn hats and bonnets in
colors are darker tones of the oddly
braided, gay hued styles that have been
so popular all rummer. The .iris, violet
and periwinkle shades are repeated, the
various dyes in green and brown straw,
and these and other showy colors will
rival the black models that are to usurp
no small portion of the domain of au
tumn fashions in millinery, and wholly
black trimmings will rule very largely
to the exclusion of the mass of color
that has so predominated for seasons
past There will be great use of largo,
broad, fluffy ostrich plumes, with little
:r no use on hats of real elegance of tho
tittle stark, stiff, stuffed, tricolored effi
gies with dyed beaks and legs, bead
eyes, and wired wings that have so long
l!en looked uixin as an essential decora
tion of all fashionable hats. New York
