none have made the height of the atmos-

I A writer in the Scientific American
says. 1 witnessed a pair of catbirds
j making a bold defense against a black-
I inake bent on devouring the contents
i jf their nest. At first the snake was in-
i .lined to^lisregard the distressed birds
as they fought to drive it away, but the
blows of their wings and bills became so
1 annoying that the thief had to seek
refuge in flight. On reaching the roots
3f a tree from which the river had
washed the dirt the snake started to
.limb, only to be driven beneath them
au.i then out to an old stump, under
which the baffled and beaten reptile
I took refuge."

THE WOMANLY WOMAN.

The big American banquet hall of
the Manhattan hotel was crowded
with members of the Emma Willard
association and their friends on the j
occasion of the thirteenth annual ban- j
quet of the organization. Among the j
speakers were Chancellor MacCracken.
Bishop Scarborough, of New Jersey,
and Miss Spence, reports the New
York Tribune, of recent date. "Hun-
dreds of young men and women." said
Miss Spence, "who have received their
college degrees are not really edu-
cated. They are thoroughly instruct-
ed, and perhaps amply equipped from
a technical standpoint. But education
means so much more than this. It
means individual development, cul-
ture, character. In every walk in life,
to accomplish our purpose, we must
know clearly at the start what we
mean to do. If colleges and schools
would really succeed In turning out
educated men and women in the high-
est sense of the word, they must first
define that term. Is it to stand for
nothing more than instruction in facts
or other people's Ideas? Or is it to
include soul culture, life broadening
and true development and efficiency?
To my mind mothers are largely re-
sponsible for a child's (especially a
daughter's) almlees life. The sole de-
sire of. alas! so many, is that their
children shall have a good time while
they're young. And this is right
enough, but they should remember
that the good time of the butterfly is
not necessarily the good time of the
girl, and that the true good time and
growth of character are not incompat-
ible.
"True womanliness should be one of
the chief elements of a young wom-
an's education. The unpardonable sins
of womanhood are hardness and
coarseness, dearth of gentleness and
any guise of selfishness. A virtue that
should he earnestly cultivated by the
woman of to-day is a greater sincer-
ity In the manners and customs of
society This ts the contribution all
true women should make to the so-
ciety of their time. Society needs gen-
tle women in the true sense of that
word. Only that education is worth |
while which stands for service to the
world—in some form, material or im-
material. and the latter is often the
more real of the two. In fact, the
Ideal, whatever It be Is the real—
an oft said saying, but one as often
forgotten in the details of daily life.
"It is the privilege and no less the
duty of every one who aspires to be
called an educator to ever hold up this
vision of the Ideal, ever 'follow the
gleam'—live the great revelation in
the details of dally life."

MONEY IN MAINE SKUNKS.

It will no doubt surprise many peo- j
pie who learn that the despised skunk j
worth twice as much to Maine as ia i
die mucli-admlred honey bee, but such j
is the fact; and, counting things at
I their actual worth, the skunk is worm
ibout as much as all the deer killed in
I Maine in a season, says the Philadel-
| pbia Record. The skunk is valuable
j Dth for his fur and for the oil that ia
j 111 him. and both the oil and the fur
are in ever-increasing demand.
Fashions in furs regulates the price
of skunk skins. Four years ago the
coat of a dark skunk was worth ^'.50
to three dollars, and the demand ex-
ceeded the supply. Siuce then the
muskrat has come into favor, and the
price of skunk akins has fallen to about
two dollars for the best. When, how-
ever, there are a dozen fat skunks to
be had on every acre of meadow land,
when a hardwood club is the only
weapon needed for killing them, and
when every fat skunk contains at
principle that a certain chemical com-
pound—manganate of soda—readily
parts with the oxygen It contains when
subjected to the action of a jet of
steam. A blast of air on the residuum
reforms it into manganate o. soda, thia
'heniioal possessing the peculiar proy-
prty of absorbing oxygen from the at- j
mosphere, parting with it when ex- ;
posed to steam and being reformed |

process may be continued indefinitely,
when the Ingredients are placed in the
retort and proper connections for air j
and steam made. No more chemicals |
ire required. It may be likened to dip- J
I ping a sponge in water, squeezing It
irv. and then repeating the operation
indefinitely.
Oxygen made by this process, it ia
claimed, contains no gas other than oxy-
gen and no elements of any descrip- j
lion other than alight traces of atmos-
pheric nitrogen . Hence it requires no
washing to free it from chlorine nor
any purification whatever. The product

Courses to the prospective student and our Corps ol
Instructors for guiding him after lie enrolls. There are
three phases of our work :
I—We teach unemployed people the theory of the
work they want to ctig.ige in. UESIL'IS: positions
easily secured; days of drudgery shortened, and some-
times avoided altogether; quick promotion.
*2—We teach employed people to do their w«'rk bet-
ter. RESULTS: more resjionsihle positions; better pa\
3—We teach dissatisfied people how to do what is
congenial to them. RESULTS: preparation for new work
before leaving the old; rapid, progress in the new field.
Our Plan
Our plun embodies the following distinctive features: l—We furnish all necessary preparatory instr ictiol
\\ i- i ■ Hit draw.:.! instruments and experimental apparatus with each course requiring them.
8—We explain facts, principles and processes so clear.i
that the student quickly comprehends and remembers them.
4 -We illustrate our instruction with all views, plans, sic
lions and elevations that will contribute to its clearness
h—We give concise rules and practical examples showing
their application.
6—We grade our instruction so that at no stage of his pr.
<.rers is the student conironted with insurmountable difficulties
7 -We criticize and correct our student's written recita-
tions, and send him spccial advice regarding his course whei.-
ever necessary.
