President Eliot was arguing in favor
of education by "showing how" before
the kindergartners Wednesday night. He
said that he was learning something ev
ery day by being "shown how."
He illustrated his point by describing
the training of medical students, and
concluded by telling of an old friend of
his who had suddenly became deaf in
one ear.
"How did this happen?" I asked him.
"Well, I was blowing my nose the
other day, when I felt something snap
in my ear, followed by an aching and
dullness.
"When the doctor came he said the
drum had split and asked how I did it.
," '1 'only blew my nose,' I told the doc
tor. " 'Well, had you opened your mouth
when you blew your nose you would not
now have a damaged ear drum," was
the medico's reply.
"You see, my friend had lived seven
ty, years and had never been shown how
to blow his nose," concluded President
Eliot. The application was appreciated
and greeted with a great burst of laugh

In a seaside village inhabited chiefly,
it would seem, by the widows and other

summer boarders arc the profitable
source of income. To one of these her
future landlady gave the reason her
pleasant rooms had never been rented
before.
"You see, my hus-band never died till
last winter."
A perhaps more regretful though
.equally casual treatment of the departed
suggested the following note of apolo
ry from an Irish woman blessed with a
large family: ,
"Mrs. Murphy is prevented by death
from returning the wash this week, but
hopes to give entire satisfaction next

WOMAN'S
REALM.
WOMEN AS CENEALOGISTS.
Bow They Have Supplanted Men In This
Profession.
There was a time when the typical
genealogist win a tvhite-lialred schol
rly man who ant nil day In tba ar
chives of a great library or a his
torical society. But It Is so no more;
the singular development of the Revo
lutionary and colonial societies of
American women has made an Im
mense demand for biographical,
genealogical and historical Informa
tion, and has created an Industry
which Is now followed by scores of the
sex. If you desire to join any one of
these societies you are compelled to
prove your lineage, and to do this you
can procure an accurate and well-writ-,
ten pedigree for a few dollars. If you
are more ambitious you can get a pedi
gree showing two, four, or eight lines
of descent or a genealogical tree giv
ing the hlHtory of your family. The
women who make this a specialty keep
copies of their searches, nnd most of
them employ a system of scrap-books
and Indices which as they grow as
sume considerable historical as well as
pecuniary value.
One woman, a widow, has to-day a
library on the subject, comprising two
thousand books, a thousand pamphlets,
and several thousand manuscripts.
Another, who Is connected with the
Daughters of.the American, Revolution,
said about her calling:
"Most W my people desire at first a
mere certificate of descent from some
one who took part In the Revolution.
When tbey receive this they get In
terested In the matter nnd then order
a search as to all their lines of de
scent As It Is now five generations
from the Revolution, it makes sixteen
lines In which, of course, several lines
will coincide with those of other
women, for whom I have done similar
work. The next step Is tracing a
colonial ancestry, and, above all, a
Mayflower ancestry. The Mayflower
ancestries are more numerous than
most people suppose; that famous brig
made a number of trips across the At
lantic, each time bringing over a
numerous passage list. The demand
for this kind of work prevails all over
the United States, and has brought
about the publication of hundreds, I
might say thousands, of colonial and
Revolutionary records.
"Beyond the searches mentioned,
there is now growing up a taste for
genealogical trees and family histories,
Few If nny of these are written for
the market, the people ordering them
or making them Intending them for
private distribution. The only ex
ceptlon that I recall Is that of the
family of a famous Admiral, which
was published a few years ago.
"In this work the New En glanders
take the lead; next to them come the
Knickerbockers of New York. The
Palatines have made a beginning, as
have the Scotch settlers of Virginia
and Tennessee, and a few of the
cavalier families of the South. The
Huguenots have contributed a good
share, and the old French settlers of
New England have added a little. Thus
far nothing seems to have been done
by the Irish pioneers, the Southern
Spanish, Southern French, Western
Spanish or Americans descended from
red men." Boston Transcript,
Massago vs. Walking;.
"I met Maud X. walking to-day,"
said one of her friends, "and I was
so surprised." "Why?" queried her
companion. "I suppose, In spite of her
horses and carriages galore, that she
must take exercise like the rest of
us." "Never on foot, though," re
turned tlie nrst speaker. "She rides
her horse every day, works In the
gymnasium and is massaged. She does
not like It, and It Is really funny to see
her on the street taking little short
steps like a Chinese woman; you can
see she is nut accustomed to it."
It Is true that a number of rich wo
men In New York never walk at all,
and rely chiefly upou massage to keep
them in good health, and, what is even
more Important in their eyes, to work
oft any accumulation of superfluous
flesh. There is a great difference in
smart women In "this respect. Some
lead what might truly be called a
strenuous life. They rise early, do
their own massage in their matutinal
tubs, and take vigorous constitutionals
in the way of walking and riding, all
in addition to the fine lady existence
incumbent upou their position, while
others rely ou the most up to date,
modern methods to keep them healthy,
and are bathed In tonics, massaged In
lieu of exercise, and live In the open
nlr in their carriages. New York Tri
bune. How to Dross the Hair,
There are variations In the fashion
of the coiffure. The careless pompa
dour front is prettier than the more
formal arrangement and with the hair
much puffed at the sides is a favorite
style, and Is finished with a wreath
of green leaves. A new style for the
back Is to have the lower part from
ear to ear tied up separately nnd
slightly puffed Instead of forming the
circular puff so suggestive of a large
sponge.
The coll or knot Is poised fairly high
and is rather long and narrow in
form, or It may be almos, circular in
shape, the lowest points beiug level
with the tops of the ears. The small
earrings and studs now so fashionable
are admirably shown up by the pom
padour type of halrdresslng, and the
exaggerated banded fashion of cover
ing the ears is no longer worn. As a
matter of fact this was a mode never
adopted by the smart society woman.
The Sum mar Girl's Dresses.
A gown of light summer silk, such
as foulard, India or surab, will be
needed for church and cool evenings.
A. gown of flannel or lightweight
serge made up without a lining Is
among the most sensible and useful to
Include in one's list of summer dresses.
The linen and cotton ducks cannot be
excelled for all-round usefulness. If a
girl has one or two of these white
sklrta with a couple of white blouses
she can feel perfectly at ease no ni.it
ter where she may be, nor what the
occasion at which she mutt put in an
iliearauce. - -
A thin white gown for special oc
casions Is absolutely necessary.
Linen, Persian lawn, dimity, organdy
and the many figured Swisses are all
lovely materials from which to make
a gown which will be sultnbla for the
many little Impromptu affairs which
spring up In the summer time.

Miss Caroline Hazard, President of

In Its effect both outside and wltbln,
the house Is attractive, dignified and

New Wall Coverings.
For the merely pretty bedroom
nothing Is more novel than the printed

weave and In design they are really
more suggestive of chintz than of any
of the ordiuary tickings. They come
chiefly In stripes, the floral designs al
ternating with plain ribbed effects
similar to the dimity and zephyr dress
goods. Quaint, small flowers mark the
patterns. They are especially suitable
for semi-Coloninl effects, and are best
employed when used from wainscoting
up to a low-hung moulding with drop
ceiling above. Again, they may be
used in combination with plain-toned
buckram, or with crepe fibre. Papers
exactly imitating these printed tick
ings come at half the price; but these
may be matched In sateen draperies,
so that the entire room may be done

pepsia and sick headaches. I was
many times compelled to leave work
and go home. Our druggist told
me to try Ripan. I am now in
much better health. I can eat al
most anything, have no headache
and work steady. I also was greatly
affected with constipation, and Ri
pans gave me relief from that.
