HE city of Buffalo,
*,fj New York, is happy
t ~ in being the home
V of many women of
general culture and
refinement; prom-
ts' inent among them
is Mrs. Brainerd
Fuller, a writer of
grace and force and
a public speaker of
particular charm.
She is a native of Middletown,
Conn., her parents being Nor-
man L. Bralnerd and Leora Campbell
Brainerd. Mrs. Fuller was educated at
Miss Payne's Young Ladies' Seminary,
Middletown, Conn., and has traveled in
Great Britain, Continental Europe,
Canada, and to some extent in the
United States. Mrs. Fuller read an
able paper at the "Woman's Congress"
at the Columbian Exposition on "Wo-
men as Political Economists." Her
Idea of the New Woman published in
Womankind will undoubtedly prove of
Interest. It is as follows::
Just who the New Woman of the day
Is, upon whose much heralded advent
many good and Bober-minded people
have taken fright, remains so far a
mystery. Where in real life there ex-
ists an Individual, who acknowledges
herself to be the original of the type
dubbed the "New Woman," we have
not as yet b"en told. Then, whence
comes this strange and sklrtless crea-
ture continuously held before our star-
tled gaze, and whose presence repre-
sented In unwonted and most unseemly
places Is, Indeed, enough to stampede a
nation back into the customs of past
civilizations. Were Betsy Prig to
drink her tea in modern times, she
would probably make another keen dis-
covery, and exclaim, as she once did,
In regard to the existence of Mrs.
Gamp's supposititious patient, Mrs.
Harris: "I don't believe there's no sicti
person," as this kind of a new woman.
And Betsy would not be so very far
from correct, in holding such opinion.
That times are changing, and women
advancing into broader fields of edu-
cation and usefullness, none In his
senses can doubt. It is equally cer-

tain that the bug-a-boo new woman,
we are worrying ourselves about, lest
she imperils Uie perpetuity of present
social order, Bas scarcely more quali-
ties to insure her continued existence
than a phantom or a poorly executed
picture. In fact, she is a sort of com-
posite, produced by the various impres-
sions of the peculiarities of living ex-
tremists, which have been developed
by the fear of pessimists, the anxiety
of conservatives, the wit of lampooners,
and by the caricaturists holding high
carnival over all. The real new wo-
man of America, which the nineteenth
century will give to grace the decades
of its successors will be one, who, to the
gentle feminine attributes of her colon-
ial ancestors will add the strength of
self-reliance and the force of system-
atic, intellectual training. Her more
liberal education obtained from her col-
lege curriculum, together with a freer
mingling in the affairs of the world
will tend to improve society, rather
than to undermine it. Education, a
wide experience in life, and an ex-
tended knowledge of human nature, has
never yet retarded the wheels of pro-
gress, or deracinated society, and there
seems to be no very good reason to be-
liev9 that different results will prevail,
bcause women possess these advan-
tages. As for the "New Woman" bun-
dling up her recently acquired knowl-
edge, as she would pack a band box,
and flying off with it into an indefinite
place, we call "out of her sphere," why
she never will, to any alarming extent.
Immutable nature has mapped out to
woman her sphere. The golden chains
of love and maternal devotion bind her
willingly to it. She could not leave it if
she would, and she would not if she
could. So after the extravagancies
and exaggerations that are now follow-
ing naturally enough in the wake of the
movement which is advancing woman
into a higher position in the social sys-
tem, shall have settled down, as ex-
tremes attendant on reforms have done
before, the real new woman will ap-
pear, as true to herself and her voca-
tions, as any of her predecessos. If
the spirit of her times extend her dut-
ies, in some instances into public life,
there she will conduct herself with dig-
nity and ability. She will preside at
the fireside, a fair and stately figure,
none the less loveable because adorned
with more of the graces of Minerva,
as well as those of Venus; none the
less companionable because of her bet-
ter understanding of the things that in-
terest men.

A Trnd FIhIi Story.
The following clipping from a paper
In Canada will reauily gain credence:
A canoeing party who returned to
town last Saturday from a ten days'
outing among the back rivers and lakes,
with blistered hand and sunburned
noses, tell an a-w-f-u-1 fish Btory. As
they were quietly paddling down tho
river cows were noticed standing In the
water close in shore. As tho canoeist
came up to them a queer looking var-
mint was observed sucking one of the
cows. When they had recovered from
their astonishment, a gaff-hook was
slipped in tho water and what proved
to bo a twenty-pound muscoUogne was
landed. Tho body of the fish was
swelled out to an abnormal size, and
upon being opened was found to con-
tain a four-pound cheese in prime con-
I dition. We give tho story just as It
! was told to us, and as the members of
| the party havo heretofore borne exem-
plary characters, we have no reason to
doubt the truth of It. By the killing of
this fish a great mystery has been
i solved in that section. Uhe creamery

for wisdom, even unto this day. And
yet there Is nothing in it. Of course you

The Canadian Poet.
"The Kahn" is the signature ap-
pended by an erratic Canadian jour-
nalist to poems and sketches that have
given him a wide reputation through-
out the Dominion. He is a poet of the
people as distinguished from the poets
of the magazines, and before taking to j
journalism he was for many years en- \
gaged in farming. Many of his verses
have the directness and simplicity that
characterize the work of Riiey, and at
his best "The Khan" writes true poet-
ry. Like every poet engaged in jour-
nalistic work, however, he writes too
much, and the badness of his worst
productions is something lamentable;
but at his best he has a command of
humor, pathos, and homely sentiment
that entitles him to the high esteem
in which his work is held by many.
Unspoiled J5y Honor*.
An American lady traveling in Hol-
land writes that Melchers, the Detroit
artist who won the Paris exposition
prize in 1889 and has since enjoyed ex-
traordinary vogue on the continent, is
quite unspoiled by the honors heaped
upon him. Though he has dined with
the German emperor, he still wears a
peasant blouse and wooden shoes oa
the plea that he is too poor for any-
thing better. When he went to dino
with the wife of the burgomaster of a
Holland town he appeared in this cos-
tume and soaked to the skin by a hard
rain. He apologized, not for the
clothes, but for the fact that they were
wet, and maintained that it was tho
only suit he had. His hostess there- I
upon provided him with a dry suit of
her husband's.
