Siiaw was born at Clinton Hud a tended a seminary in Lyons. Her maiden name was Miss Alice Creshaw. In Ksi ! she went to Denison to visit a marri-d sister. The future governor was ■uperntendent *>f the Methodist Sunday school in I Unison. Miss Creshaw also was ii!t> esied iu Sunday school work, and Uiiu th y saw much of each other. They were married in December, 1877, f'' ' I M MS. LESLIE M. SHAW. and both continued to teach in the Sun day school until 1 when the governor began his first term at the statehouse. Mrs. Shaw is distinctly a home woman. Her tastes are domestic, and she delights in cookery and housekeeping in all its phases She takes much pride iu her three children. Enid, Earl and Erma. The Girl's Allowance. The question of an allowance for the daughter of the household is one that is constantly being discussed. It seems to be pretty generally accepted that it is a good idea, and teaches a girl the vaiuu and use of money. So it does, but it sometimes teaches her some other things that need a little guarding against. A girl with an allowance occasionally make- it an excuse for peuuriousness on the one side and unhesitating begging ou the other that tend a little to charac ter deterioration, says Harper's Baxar. While it is perfectly right and proper to ; give as an excuse for self denial that one's allowance is exhausted, or will not admit of the proposed purchase or pleas ure trip, it is not right to say, as girls have been known to say, "I'll go with you, but you must pay my enr fare," or "I have only a dime to spare in the treat ' if you will let me come in on that," etc. I I have heard a girl reply in answer to a suggestion from a companion on a short railroad trip that a parlor car should be taken. "'Oh, if we *lo that you will have to pay my way on it, my allowance is so nearly spent." Girls who would "shrink" from the idea of "sponging" under other circumstances do not hesitate to t'ike advantage of this allowance peg upon which to hang a good many small meannesses iu money matters. When it conies to the mother's purse, the cribbing by any means and outright purloining, indeed, are not disguised. These are only little foxes, to be sure, girls, but they gnaw the vines of integrity and self respect and would better be choked off. Woman's I'osltlon In Korea. We may say without hesitation that the lot of the Korean women is the most pit iable, just as the position of her people is the most deplorable, in the far east. Ev ery degrading idea emanating from China is here carried to an extreme. The wife is sot more than a chattel, seldom seen before the marriage, which is arranged by a "go between," as in China and Ja pan, and after niarriago to talk to her even is a degradation for the husband. In the lower classes she must work, work, work. In the upper classes she must be eutornbed. A few instances will give point to these facts. In the city of Fusan, in southern Korea, there lived a Korean wife of the upper though not noble class. She had been reached in her home, which was her prison, by some young women missiona ries. One night, with the consent of her husband, they planned to take her to visit the Japanese settlement near by. This event took the place in her life that a trip abroad *ioes with us. She said that for many years she had seen nothing more than the roof of her husband's house. Now she had something to think of un til she died. A Korean girl lias no name. She is known as So-and-so's sister or So and-so's mother when she becomes mar ried anil has a son. Her husband calls her by her son's name. A husband iu Ko rea is entitled to a divorce on the ground of his wife's incompatibility with her mother-in-law. The professions of sor ceress. Buddhist nun and dancing girl seem the only avenues by which the Ko rean w oman cau escape bondage. Though iu some cases the adoption of Christianity has led to a better state of affairs, yet the attempt at innovation seems almost hopeless.—Ainslee's Magazine. A fteatfiil Cbiuitfe. It should be a part of a woman's re ligion to do something every day that she likes to do—something that does not be long in the diurnal "musts." No matter how foolish or inconsistent it may appear to others, she should have the privilege of doing it, witliout note or comment.. Kousework, even with the help of the best of modern conveniences, is at best a grind where there is but one pair of Lands to accomplish all. and any little di version which can be made to serve to lighten the burden should not hen matter •112 whim or taken with a sense of stolen sweets, but should be as much a duty as washing dishes or making beds. Individual tastes differ, and what would be a bore to one woman is a panacea for another. The active temperament finds rest in a change of work; the dishcloth is ex changed for a bit of embroidery or cro chet; the four walls of the house for a race In double quick time "down to 'ha store," or ovr to th* n<~lehhor's. The cookbook is superseded by the lat est magazine by the woman of loss active body but busier mind, while to some women the utter forgetfulness of self and everything else in a short sleep is the greatest luxury. The care of a few house plants is to some others a restful change; while still enother class takes the greatest pleasure In having a banjo, autonarp or some of the other equally inexpensive musical in struments handy and picking out a popu lar tune on them. Such things are worth while. They add to the length of life and make it more worth living. Women In Office. Although the women of today are not to sit oil borough councils for the pres »nt, at least in former times they have occupied oven more imp irtant offices. Centuries before the time of Stuart Mill some of the fair sex certainly possessed political equality with men. Gordon for Instance, in his "Antiquities of Parlia ment" records th* fa. t that Indies sat in council with the Saxon Witas. In Wigh fried's gri at council at He* coneeld, in the year (J!M . the abbesses -at and deliber ated. ami the 112 them • i ;iicd decrees of that council, along with the king, bish ops and nobles. King Edgar's charter to the Abbey of Crow laud in !»<!! was signed by women. In the reigns of Henry HI and Ed ward I four abbesses were summoned to parliament, while in tha*. of Edward 111 no less than ten peeresses received writ* to take their seats Nor are instances of women bearing the offices of sheriffs and justices want ing. Margaret. eouutess of Thauet. held the shrievalty of Westmoreland and Cumberland in the seventeenth century. Among the Harleiai manuscripts men tiou is made of Margaret, countess of Richmond, mother to Henry VII, as a justice of the peace; also that a lady named Bartlett was made justice of the peace in Gloucertershire by Queen Mary. In Sussex a lady named Rouse -at on the bench at assizes and sessions among ths other justices and was girded with * sword. In Coke's "I.ittletou" is another instance that "Anne, counters of l'em broke, serve*! the office of high sin riff of Westmoreland, and ut the assizes at Appleby sat in pel son with the judges ou the bench." —London Chronicle. Brother?* and Slaters. A girl who has brothers gains much in a sensible kind of comradeship with them, and v'h her brothers' young men friends. As a rule, says The Delineator, a girl's brother is n most severe critic in regard to her men friends A sister is, or should be, considered by her brother a very precious object to protect from harm and ? > defend from mistakes, and a girl is wise if she heeds the counsels of a good brother and measures men by his standards in making her choice of friends. On the other hand, a sister's influence over a brother may be of the best. She can help him to cultivate noble qualities, to be holiest, unselfish, self respecting. She can inspire him with a wish to be courteous, considerate and chivalrous to ward women. If a sister is a firm and constant friend to her brother and pro vides attractions for him in his home, she will strengthen him against many outside influences which might prove very harm ful if he is unprepared for them. A dis tinguished man has acknowledged the debt of gratitude which he owed to a devoted sister by saying: "My sister al ways had leisure for counsel and sympa thy in all my boyish difficulties and troubles. She took an interest in all my friends and companions. In my boyhood 1 hardly realised all that she was to me, but as a man I appreciate what her in fluence was to nie in uiy youth." The Woman of l'oise. The dictionary defines poise as "the state or quality of being balanced; equili brium, equipoise; hence, figuratively, equanimity, rest." l'oise instills grace and symmetry into the workings of the mind, just as physical exercise does into the movements of the body. It is rarely a natural endowment, but may be culti vated to th«' point where it becomes sec ond nature, l'oise always carries with it a suggestion of reserved force, and the woman who wishes to acquire it must learn to husband her energy as well as her time. She must not fritter away words, moments or emotions. The woman of poise indulges in a few exclamations or superlatives and docs not waste enthusiasm over trifles. She is gracious, but never gushing, and she has acquired the habit of listening attentive ly, not awaiting with ill concealed eager ness a pause in the *onversation fo enable her to rush in and take the floor. The woman of poise never lingers after her good by is spoken; never, in fact, tinder any circumstances talks long while stand ing. She does not experience the difficul ty too many people have ol taking leave gracefully. She sa.vs goodby. gives you a bright smile and is eff to the picasiiic or duty that awaits her.

Imitation Boy*. 1 wish 1 were a boy—a real boy. with overalls and a t un shiit and a pair of stubby little brown feet and a lint that wouldn't hold water. What fun I would have laughing at the poor little imitation boys with imitation mothers who care more for what "they say" than for the comfort and happiness of their children. I saw a woman leading a boy, or what was supposed to be a boy, down town the other day. ll*- wore long curls, English half so* ks and a starched white sailor col lar fhat was slowly but surely turning him from a decent little chap with human instincts into a whining, snarling, ill tem pered little rascal who deserved a spank ing just for the expression of his face. I suppose if the agent for the Humane society had arrested that boy's mother for aiding and abetting in the increase of Juvenile crime she would have rent the air with indignant and amazed prot estations. What on earth is a woman made of who will take a healthy, vigor ous little animal and torture him like that, just to make him "look nice"? How can she expect him to have any respect for her judgment. *>r much belief in her affection, when she persists in treating him that way? Winifred Black in Chicago American. Stf«nrt'« Bent « npltal Was Hi* Wife. Alexander T. Stewart, the prince of American merchants *>f his time, owed much to his wife. Men in New York who know much about their early start, of their first effort- to climb the long ladder to fortune and prosperity, know that it was Mrs. Stewart's taste In color, pru dence in Investment and forecasting of the coming fashions that gave to the great firm its prestige and aided It in its ongoing toward a plane of universal rec ognition as the leading house on the conti nent. Many visitors familiar with the interior of Stewart's great establishment cau re call the slight, ladylike figure of the wife of the head of the firm often seen there, going about, unpretentious, from depart ment to department, from counter to counter, from clerk to clerk, inquiring here, listening there, attentive every where. When success had perched upon his banner of thrift and enterprise, the great merchant was prompt to admit that much of his exceptional good fortune was due to the woman who gave him not her hand alone, but with it her head, well stored with mother wit and much good sense.—Success.

"Ray, son," sal<l the colonel, "*lo you know what it good all up and down the backbone thrill is worth'?" "Where does the thrill come in?" Maxwell, the colonel's partner, called from his corner. The colonel chuckled, j then said very slowly, "Can you imag ine how it feels to know yourself with in an inch of hanging?" "Oh, there's a story! Tell it," Max well said, putting down his pen. The colonel thing over to him the most un forgivable of the penwipers, then sat down on the edge of my desk, folded his arms and began: "Don't know that 1 ever told you I fit fur Cousin Sally Ann, as our com pany wag used to express serving the Confederacy. Hut I did. I was a dare devil too. Would you think so to look at me now?" "Not much," we said in chorus. He smiled and went on:"I belonged to Mr. Forrest's 'critter company.' You don't know it, but that means that I had a heap of chances to get myself shot. He was a lighter from 'way back, was Mr. Forrest l'-ut that didn't feiize the boys who rode with him. It was what they were there fur. He made things lively, 1 tell you, in the country between the rivers—the Cumberland and Tennessee. North of the Cumberland, after Donel- fell, it was mighty hazardous for a grayeoat to venture. The river could be forded only in time of drought, and the strict gunboat patrol made swim ming or sailing across it about as dan gerous as anything could be. Still we wanted now and then to get news of our friends, the enemy, over tiiere, and one day 1 volunteered to swim the riv es - and bring bark word to my chief. 'Co if you're a mind ter. Billy, but I sorter think you'll come back dead.' he said. l!ut I went. Home was across the river, vou see. and a girl who—but never mind. 1 didn't see her that trip. "Hardly had 1 crossed when 1 ran plump upon a former overseer, who was, I knew, a Union man. He recog nized me at once, yet if I had been the prodigal son his welcome could not have been wanner. When I asked if he meant to iufonn on me, he almost cried. 11 is feelings were so hurt, in deed. that I had to agree tu stay all night at his house and let him help me next morning across the river, which was the main lion in my homeward path.

If my host did not betray me, my horse in his stable, with cavalry saddle and holsters, most certainly would. Escape was out of the ques tion. They were before and behind me and all around, with more coming in each half hour. "Then every mother's son of 'em was mighty mad with Forrest. He had whipped 'em when he had no right to do it and run when they ought to have whipped him. There was, besides, a sort of talk of retaliation. Altogether I made up my mind that I had less than six hours of life, unless a miracle saved me or Jessermine stood my friend. "She did that, like the trump she was. 'Don't you worry,' she said when she brought me breakfast. 'Eat hearty an rest all you can, until 1 get them Yankees all fed. It's likely you may have to ride all night without stoppiu, but don't you be uneasy whatever you do.' "Will you believe it, I trusted that girl blindly—lay down and slept like a top until she was back again. She had her paintbox and brushes, besides a couple of raw onions. When she had told me her plan for me, I laughed until 1 cried. "Carry it out? I shouldn't be here if I had not. That afternoon, about 2 o'clock, a man rode wearily into the camp. His eyes were red and swollen and ran water continually. He was broken out all over with red, angry looking pustules. 'Take me to your general.

He passed the prisoner on like a hot potatoe. So did the corporal of the guard, and so, in the end, did the gen eral.

By 4 o'clock he hud been escorted to the river bank and told to cross it or drown or do anything that pleased bim except strew Infection through a United States army corps.

That hackneyed American maiden who said London was a nice place if you knew the language was not a bit absurd. We speak English, but we haw built up our forms of English ex pression upon the English of a few shires of the old country :ts it was spoken between two and three centu ries ago, while they have been blending and changing the speech of all their home peoples during the same period. The result Is that an American can hardly utter a sentence in England without calling attention to the differ ence between his speech and that of the people about him. Only yesterday, after 18 months' resi dence In England, I rushed up to a con ductor In Charing Cross station and asked, "Which car for Bromley?" lie stared at me, and I knew I had spoken a foreign tongue to him, because street vehicles like omnibuses and horse cars are called road cars and tram cars, and there are no other cars In England. If you ask a guest at your home In England whether lie likes his meat rare, he asks what you said because ho does not understand you. He calls meat underdone when it is not thor oughly cooked. If you tell him you fear the asparagus Is canned, he is at a It is-- again, because he would have said it was tinned. To ask him to pass the powdered sugar will again set him to wondering, for he calls It Icing sugar generally, though he knows that it Is sometimes called caster or sifted sugar. And if you have candy on the table you may not call It so without betray ing your foreign origin, for he calls candy "sweets," abbreviated from "sweetmeats," and used to designate all preserves, puddings, pies, candies and jams. Togo further along the eccentricities of English at the dining table most persons know, I suppose, that the beet Is called beet root, cornstarch Is corn flour, corned beef (or a particular cut of it) is called "silver sides of beef" and napkins are serviettes.—Julian Ralph In Harper's Magazine.

Shake them together until creamy, then add a cupful to a boiler ful of clothes and boil for half an hour. Acetic acid (concentrated vinegar) will restore colors that have been in jured by the alkali in soap or by soda, ammonia or substances of a similar na ture. Conversely stains made with acids, which are hostile to some dark 1 colors, may be removed with dissolved soda. liuKH In Vegetable*.

Faster and faster lie worked, keeping the ball always symmetrical and yet white hot. At length he lifted the glowing mass quickly in the air, and a second workman attached the blowpipe at the bottom. Then the two men ran in opposite directions, twirling the pipes and blowing lustily from time to time. From a thick, partly yellow globe the glass thinned out quickly as the men ran apart, until it became a dull red tube not larger than a man's little finger and nearly 300 feet long. Sometimes in drawing these tubes one of the blowers would not only run the length of the corridor, but far outside on the hill. The Olilcmt Mnp.

This school maintains several courses of study for training teacher*, a Preparatory Collegiate Course, and courses in Voice and Piano. It is the only boarding school we have heard of where students enter the dining room at their leisure, and order their meals to suit their appetite arid digestion as at a first class hotel. It has a faculty of College and Uni versity trained specialists, abundant apparatus of the latest and most ap proved kind, and every comfort and convenience for the students. Tuition has recently been made £re« for those preparing to teach. A letter of inquiry addressed to the Principal, Judson Perry Welsh, A.M., Ph.D., will bring valuable information to those seeking a good school.
