WOMAN'S
REALM.
A NEW FIELD OF WORK.
Duties of Superintendent of N stare
Study In the Vacation Schools,
For sis weeks or no In summer M!s
Knte Bnumann hna one of the oddest
occupations of any one In Philadelphia.
As superintendent of nature study In
the vnrntlon schools she not only ml
pervlscs the nature work done by the
mnny classes, dut collect noil dis
tributed the specimens needed In tench
Ing 3000 children hundreds of roots of
all varieties, steins and leaves, flowers,
fruit and vegetables.
Three days n week she Is off Id the
country from early morning until sun
down, hard at work. Three days she
spends distributing among the schools
Her excursions take her far beyond
the railroad and trolley lines, Clnd In a
comfortable working dress, she does
miles and miles of walking over dusty
lanes, her eyes wide open for plants
that have sprung np by the wayside
beyond the fences, so they may be
legitimately appropriated. Sometimes
she mast mount fences to gather twigs
and leaves from convenient branches.
Occasionally there Is a tree to climb
where coveted specimens are far be
yond the reach of he crooked handle
of her umbrella.
On certain days the superintendent's
trip is to the woods and fields In search
of wild flowers. On others, armed
with a large basket, she visits friendly
fanners to solicit garden and orchard
products, or again, she follows the
course of some rream to hunt for nee
essary water plants.
The burden she brings back to town
at nlgbt may be forty pounds of leaves
pulled from all kinds of trees, or hun
dreds of twigs bearing pears and other
fruit, or a basketful of potatoes, beets
and carrots, dug up with their leaves
and all.
Distribution the following day Is not
an easy task. The schools to be sup
plied He In widely separated parts of
town. The residents along her various
routes have grown accustomed to see
ilng her pass by with her odd bundles,
and everywhere she Is known and
greeted as "the teacher."
"Of course," said Miss Baumann.
"when I took np the work four years
ago It was much cosier. There were
fewer schools then and not nearly so
many pupils. Nowadays, if It were not
for the kindness shown me everywhere,
I simply could not undertake it all
alone. Every one becomes Interested
at once when I explain my errand. The
farmers want to insist on my having
even more than I need, and when our
lesson is to be on cultivated flowers,
the big city florists Ml my basket to
overflowing. Then there are mnny
kind friends who are always on the
lookout for specimens to send me, or
who are generous about assisting me
when my load Is a very heavy one."
Her first work begins early in the
spring. Then sho is abroad in the
woods looking for acorns that have
lain underlie snows all winter and are
In good condition for sprouting. These
serve later on as splendid examples
. of germination for the younger classes.
Later she starts gardening in her back
yard, planting cucumber seed, so that
the vines with their young, tiny fruit
may be shown the children, as well as
larger specimens contributed by the
. markets. Peas, beans and oats are
also planted in small boxes, a box of
each Just sprouted to go to every
school. Philadelphia Press.
How Wrinkle Come.
Enough is said of the trentment of
wrinkles to make us all wise to avoid
them, If wisdom were enough.
But wrinkles, like love, will find out
a way, and in spite of massage and oils
and balms, wrinkles will set their deli'
cate seal of thought and perplexity
upon the forehead and under the eyes
and abont the Hps.
The reason of wrinkles, any one will
tell you easily, is years. But why is It
that years make wrinkles? What con
nection la there between the fight of
time over our heads and the fine trac
ery upon our features?
Here is the explanation as well as a
layman can give it:
Underneath the skin, in the flesh, are
imbedded multitudes of little muscles
that hold the flesh and keep it as wc
my "solid and Arm." The skin also
lias a certain muscular power of con
tracting and stretching as necessity de
inands, and which depends upon what
Is called the tonicity of the skin.
As years creep along the muscles
weaken and grow lax, no longer hold
ing the flesh up Arm and bard as be
fore. All the lines in the face droop
therefore with age, and. the flesh has a
tendency to fall down In little ridges.
. Just the same thing happens to the
skin. It loses its contracting power
and relaxes. Then come the little
wrinkles. It will be seen then, that
wrinkles are due to changes in the
, constitution of the skin Itself.
Anything that acts as a stimulant
upon the skin, keeping it active and so
keeping np the tone of the muscles, will
tend to prevent wrinkles.
But even If they do come, why should
one be unhappy? Tbey are as honor
able as gray hairs. Tbey Indicate
thought as . well as years; they give
character and dignity to the expres
sion. j Freckles and sunburn have bad their
i day of being fashionable. Whi tint
wrinkles? Tbey are beautiful, if we
only think so. New York News.
Kadis embroidery.
Among the latest fancies In fashion's
realm are gowns of all over English
embroidery mounted over colored silk.
One over pale lnk has the skirt bill
In three deep ruffles, and a jacket
hodlce showing front and undorsleevei
of embroidered ecru batiste. Thi
olioker Is encircled by a pleated scan
or pink tnousseliiio de sole which tlet

tlcularstylo of crnvat is one of the nov
elties of the season aud appears on f
number of elaborate costumes. A
lovely chemisette Is of tine white bn
tlste, with yoke behind ending on th
shoulders and the front pieces fuller1

drawn work trim the yoke and run
down the rront of the blouse. The lit
tle cuffs, which ore unstarched, tucked
and edged with Vnlenclcnnes lace, nr

crochet button, and these buttons are
used to fasten the front of the chem
isette. The soft tucked choker has a
pleated cravat tied loosely about it
This Is made of the batiste, with the
ends finished with Valenciennes lace.
Woman as a Wage-Earner.
As a wage earner the American
woman adds largely to the country's
output of energy; as a consumer she
creates two-thirds of the demand, with
Its Inevltnblo result of supply; as an
Inventor, designer and manufacturer
she enlarges the variety and activity
of the world's market; and as a crea
tor she enriches the imaginative prod
uct of the world. In all these, it Is Im
possible to divorce her Interests from
those of man, or make her more or less
than an individual with an Individual's
place and power In the community. To
ask whether her elimination from the
commerce of the world would create
a greater vacuum than the elimination
of man, would bring us back to the
elusiveness of abstract and general dis
cussion to which the Amercan woman
can no longer be relegated. It is not
as woman In the abstract, but as worn
an the Individual that she is to be
reckoned with, for It Is as the Individ
ual that she has won and that she will
maintain her place as a commercial
factor. New York Po9t.
How to Bo Charming.
A woman can make or mar her at
tractiveness. Bhe can, by on utter
disregard of hygleulc laws and a neg
lect of toilet accessories, In the opinion
of Home Chnt, lose entirely that chartn
of face and form that nature obviously
Intended should be hers. A few drops
of soothing lotion will transform a
pnlr of rough hnnds Into soft ones:
systematic care of the complexion will
keep it smooth and ward off wrinkles,
and on eagerness to rend clever book!
and to know things, and a lively In
terest In the current events o the day,
will brighten the eyes ns nothing else
can, except It be the sympathy of the
mnn one loves. The woman possessing
this knowledge Is fnr more charming
and attractive thitn she In whose path
no beautifying whims have ever come.
And the womnn who applies this
knowledgo Is the one who will develop
Into the entertaining. Interesting grand
mother of the next generation, as
dnlnty and as youthful as was the
mother of the past generation.
To Train Colored Olrle.
A training school for colored nurses
has been established In Charleston, S.
C., by a colored womnn physician. Dr.
I.ucy Hughes Brown, a graduate of
the Woman's Medical College of Penn
sylvania. The Bouthcrn people seem to
take kindly to this Innovation, and the
enterprise Is highly commended by the
Charleston press.
Kilt Pleated Oowii,
There Is much that Is chic about the
gowns that are kilt pleated, both skirts
and bodice alike, and worn with n
wide soft silk belt or sash. Some of
the light autumn cheviots in heather
shades and the soft neutral tints nre
especially pretty and smart lu the kilt
pleated models.
ModUli Materials.
Materials that are to be in vogue are
noted with and without a crepon sur
face and Include a number of silk and
wool weaves, veiling, batiste, crepe do
chine, collenne, crepe, albatross and
similar lightweight stuffs.
Changeable moires are an autumn
novelty.
Wide tucks as a border on parasols
are very pretty.
Waved satin ribbon is a novelty for
trimming skirts.
Velvet bat bindings arc often over an
inch deep on the outside.
The buckle and the toque mnko Co
lonial ties quite fascinating footgear.
Sashes and ties of real lace are the
prettiest as well as the most expen
sive. A faddish hatpin is In old jsllver ia
the design of an Indian in full war
paint
Snowflake homespun and long-haired
camels' hair are two materials for au
tumn wear.
Dark blue or black cheviots, sprinkled
with white polka dots, are the new ma
terial for short skirts.
In some of the shirt waist suits em
broidery is as elaborately applied to
the skirt as to the waist.
Gaudy colors appear in bats, parasols
and veils, but In general gowns the
colors are very delicate in tint and
blend nicely into one another.
A beautiful tea gown Is of the softest
make of stamped pink velvet trimmed
with endless Intricacies of tucks and
Insertions of taffeta and chiffon.
BICFOOT, THE GRIZZLY, DEAD.
Re Is Thought to Hare Killed 10OO Read
or Stock In Hit Lifetime.
Blgfoot Is dead. Only the remote
ranchers of the Pierce City district in
west central Idaho know the real sig
nificance of tho news. Blgfoot Is a
grizzly and Is supposed In the Inst eight
years to have made owny with 1000
bend of stock.
Itlgfoot' methods showed remarka
ble uniformity. One blow from his
monstrous foot would kill the strongest
steer or cow, and dragging his prey to
a secluded spot Blgfoot would cat the
choicest portions. He never gorged
himself, nnd before the stockmen dis
covered his loss the bear would be
many miles owny.
Here he would kill another cow and
disappear ngnln. L. C. Roberts alone
lost twenty-one head Inst season, the
work In each case being attributed to
Blgfoot.
Henry Shrlby, a cattleman and
range rider of Knmlab, Idaho, gave the
following account of Blgfoot and his
operntlons.
"Blgfoot was the biggest grimly 1
ever saw, nnd I believe the biggest that
ever operated In Western Idnho. I
nnd other cowboys have seen hi in of
ten enough, but generally we only had
our range revolvers on us, and were
scared to tackle him.
"His beat was between Snake and
Salmon rivers around Whlteblrd In a
wild mountain cattle country, and I
calculate his average was 123 or 130
cattle and horses In a year. Frobably
be has enten 1000 head of stock since
first the traces of his big feet began to
be noticeable In Idnho County. I don't
know how old he Is.
"Blgfoot was wise even for a grizzly.
He would kill a cow at one clip, eat
what he wanted, and never come back.
That was his cutest trait, and was the
one that saved him for so long. He
would kill a three-year-old steer with
out trouble. At one time there was
$ 1500 on bis head, nnd I think stock
men will give about 900 now for his
death."
Blgfoot was killed at Welppe. He
was sleeping In some brush when
Frank. Peters, a Musselshall miner, ap
proached, and as the monster raised
himself on his haunches to see who the
Intruder was Peters shot him. Peters
Is now collecting the reward offered by
the stockmen.
The bear weighed 000 pounds. Pet
ers will keep the hide nnd the famous
foot for trophies. Ho distant Is the wild
Idnho County stock region thnt it was
five days before the good news reached
Lcwlaton and Walla Walla. New York

Scientific Housekeeping.
The Chicago Housewife Assoclntlon
Is evidently determined to put domestic
service on a scientific basis. Its latest
move In that direction Is to appoint n
stnndlng arbitration committee of
three members, to which Is to be sub
mitted nil question of dispute between
mistresses and servants. The decisions
of the committee nre to be binding on
both pnrtles to a dispute, the penalty lu
cose of a recalcitrant mistress being
expulsion from the association, while a
servant who falls In her duty will for
feit the right to refer future employers
to the headquarters of the association.
Every mold on completing one year of
service In the family of one of the
members of the nssoeiutlon is to bo
given a diploma, nnd at the end of the
second consecutive yenr is olven h
choice of a seal on her diploma or n
rnsn premium or 510, with an addition
si prize of $5 for each succeeding year.
The association is to establish an em
ployment agency, and its constitution
provides that a maid, taken 111 after
four weeks' sen-Ice In a family, shall
lie ennuea to rree medical ottontlon.
The efforts of this association to bring
order out of tho present chaotic condi
tion of domestic service are worth the
attention of women In every city in the
country.-Harper's Weekly.

Temperature of Ovens.
The proper temperature of the oven
for various mixtures often rpmnlne a
perplexity to the young housewife after
otner details have been conquered.
Here are a few suggestions: A cake
Which IS made With butter needa a
moderate oven; a cuko made without
butter wants a quick oven. For small
cakes and cookies the oven should be
moderately quick. Cakes that have an
nuimxiure or moinsses burn more eas
ily than others, nnd should be watched
closely. They renulre a moderate oven
If the cake browns too quickly after
going mto tue oven there Is too much
neat, uetnove a lid rrom tho top of
the stove or put Into the oven a dish
containing cold water.
A Shampoo Mixture.
A very good shampoo mixture Is
mode thus: Lay a cake of the purest
soap obtainable In a pitcher. Add one
pint of bolllug water and stir until
a good lather is formed. Lift out the
enke of soap, and. If the hair is very
oily, add one teaspoonful of bicarbon
ate of soda, but under no circumstances
ammonia or powdered borax. Wash
the holr and scalp thoroughly with the
shampoo mixture while It Is still warm
and rinse with warm water. Do not
rinse the hair In cold water. The sud
den change In temperature is bad for
the scalp, and hnlr, too. If the hnlr is
exceptionally dry, a teaspoonful of
sweet almond oil may be added to the
last rinsing water. '
