y 3.3 I ’77 Susan B. Anthony on the” New Woman. Miss Anthony was asked by a Chi cago Journal reporter her opinion of that much abused person, the “new woman.” She said: “Why, I think the new woman is magnificent. The woman of the pres- ent trying to live under the conditions of the past is like new wine in old bot- tles. The new woman is the logical re- sult, not of fashion, but of modern eco- nomic conditions. With the introduc- tion of machinery, and the use of that machinery in factories, the occupations of the home are gone. Girls used to spin and weave—seven girls toiling it send one b to college. They can no longer do that. They can’t remain idle and must- seek employment elsewhere than in the home. They go to the fac tories, and skirts and flowing sleeves among the whirling wheels and bands become a menace to lift... And why ex- pect a woman to ride a bicycle in a skirt that is uncomfortable and dangerous? People must recognize that the new woman is inevitable and has come to stay. France’s Brilliant Girl.

ME MORY'S MYSTERY- Francisque Sarcey ‘Nr'ltes Entertaining]; . of Those He Has Observed. Francisque Sarcey wrote the i follow- 3mg for a recent number of the Paris Figaro: ‘fWho in conversation, when seeking before the memory and escapes, has not cried out in a tone of impatience, ‘] have it on the tip of my tongue?’ and, , true enough, that name, that date, or that detail is on the tip of the tongue. It seems as if the slightest effort would suflice to formulate it; but by what strange phenomenon does it refuse to allow itself to be captured? The more you follow it the more it runs back into the depths of the mind- . And what is more extraordinary is the fact that, if the name conceals it- self, you have present in your mind all the circumstances which accompany it, which distinguish it, and make 'it known. Thething is a sort of malady of the memory which is often very painful. What is the cause of it? That is a question which I have often asked my- self, and many others must have asked themselves the same question; because and the theatre continually draws comi- cal scenes out of it. I have just read “ an article in the Revue des Revues this defect of the memory. It is by Alfred Binet, and gives an account of the investigations that have been made in this matter by some learned English- men. The author tclls us that, in the Laboratory of Psychology in Paris, he made some interesting experiments. For example, a list of fifty words wa:~ read to a patient or subject, and he was asked to repeat them. He discovered. that anybody could repeat twenty. The thirty others were gone. But were they gone forever, destroyed? Not at all. The person who heard them retained them in his memory, but could not grasp them; and here is the proof of it. A list of sixty words was made, among which were thrown in the thirty words alreadyreal. This new list was read to the subject, with the request that he would indicate the words previously read, if he could discover any. He was rarely deceived, and generally pointed out the thirty words that he had forgot- ten. Now, if he recognized them, it is plain that he must have remembered them. What are we to conclude from this, if not that of all the recollections that are stored in our mind, about one third are constantly at our disposal for our daily use, while the other two-thirds *re put away in drawers, whose keys we have lost? We are like those women who know well that they have, some- wherein the house, choice laces care- fully put away, but can’t tell where they are. They ought to be in this or that wardrobe, but the lock can’t be opened. Sometimes the good woman even forgets that she ever possessed such laces until some fine day, when the old wardrobe is 0; sued by chance, she utters a cry of surprise: ‘Why, my laces I" “It is the same with the recollection. One is often astonished at discovering the sudden resurrection of long-buried memories. .We often fancy that there is mystery surrounding the thing, but nothing is more simple. The fact is that in reality those memories were not buried or destroyed. Without our knowledge they remained preserved in the archives of the mind, but we could not bring them out. ASSORTED SMILES.

MR3. BALLINGTONVBOOTH’S PLANS FOR PRISON WORK. She will Endeavor to Reform Convicts and Enable Them to Earn an Honest Living when Released. Success of Her En'orts at Sing Sing. Homes for Elf-Convicts. The permanent reformation of con- victs and the supplying of honest em- ployment for them when their terms of imprisonment are over is a problem which has puzzled reformers and social economists for years. A new student ofthe problem has appeared in the per- son of Mrs. Ballingt'on Booth. She be- lieires that she has solved the problem. Herifirst visit to Sing Sing was fol-' lowed by a second, and the result of the two visits has been that she has not only come into persOnal contact with a number of the convicts, but also, at her invitation, a much larger number have opened a correspondence with her. . In these letters the convicts have “out their souls on paper,” as Carlyle said. Thclast time Mrs. Booth visited Sing Sing shehad talks with a num- ber of men in their cells. As she and the prison chaplain were going along one-of/the balconies a voice from one of the cells called to the chaplain. The latter stepped to the cell door and learned that ”the prisoner wanted to speak to'Mi‘s. Booth. As the chaplain repeated to Mrs. Booth the prisoner's wish he said: mas. Boom : “You have evidently made a strong impression in Sing Sinngs. Booth. It In the first time that that man has ever been known to ask to see any one who had anything to do with religion. He is the most self-contained man in the institution.” , As Mrs. Booth approached the cell door the convict smiled, bowed cour- teously and extended his hand through the l:;ile opening in the door. In a re finer. .‘oice he said: “This is Mrs. Booth? I am No.———.. You will excuse me for not giving a nore extended biogiiaphical sketch at present. I heard your address this morning. Perhaps I was your most at- tentive listener. It is very good of you to bring a little outside sunshine into this gray old plat e, and I want to thank you for it. Back in my college days," after a more or less careful study of mental and moral science, i decided that the Christian religion was a religion of emotion. Not being an emotional person, I. concluded that re- ligion would not do for me. I listened to what you said'hnd‘l watched the effect of your words upon the other convicts. They were touched as I never saw iren touched before. When I saw that, I began to wonder if it was you who had touched them, or whether it was w‘lat you would call the power of the Holy Spirit. I con- fess that I am not ready to believe that it was the later. However that may be, though, I am sure that many of the men thought better thoughts this morning than they have thought in years. If they (could know that there is at least one person who stands ready to help them when they go out into the world to take up life where they left it when they came in here, I think that many of them would make an honest effort to lead upright lives and become good citizens.” The words of the college-bred con- vict kept ringing in Mrs. Boo'th’s care. She left Sing Sing resolved to put the plan for aiding prisoners and dis- charged prisoners into operation as soon as possible. Mrs. Booth‘has formulated two plans, one for the benefit of discharged con- victs, and the other for the benefit of those still in confinement. For dis- charged convicts she proposes to es- tablish homes. To theSe homes con~ victs may go as soon as they have se- cured their release. There the dis- charged convict will be surrounded with Christian influences. When he has shown that he has a sincere desire to reform and earn an honest living, Mrs. Booth will endeavor to find em? ployment for ,him. She fully appre- ciates how difficult in most cases this will be. She proposes to put herseif in communication with the chief emplOy- ers of labor, and to secure their co- operation if possible. . _ The family‘of a convict, whom Mrs. Booth had met at Sing Sing, was about to be evicted for non-payment of rent. Mrs. Booth got the address and called. She found the family consisted of 'a wife and one child, a baby boy. There was little food in the house, and the woman had no money. Mrs. Booth found employment in the country for the women during the summer and placed the baby in a' home in Mont- .clair. When the husband gets out of prison in the latter part of Augusr, Mrs. Booth willkhave a'place for him; obtained from a man who believes that she has solved the problem of prison reform and wishes to show his belie.~ in a practical way. In the autumn the - family will be reunited, with the hue: band earning an honest living.“ fi'THE EVENING'GEZETTEM'J 1 ;« C~ 57 &7 OLDEST'JEWELS in THE WORLD. They Decoratedphe Mummy Remains of an Egyptian Queen. The earliest jewels the pedigree of which can be traced, lie in the Museum of Boo-lak, Egypt, says the Philadelphia Press. They belonged to Queen Aha- hopep, a queen of the eighteen dynasty in Egypt, apparently some time between 1803 and 1591 B. C. There is, however, much dispute as to the date of her reign. In 1859 her tomb was opened by M. Mariette, where it lay in the Valley of the Tomb of the Kings. When her coffin was opened a re- markable collection/of precious stones and jewels was found within. The most important of these was a diadem of gold and enamel set on the head of The queen. This had an inscription in gold on a ground of lapis lazuli and a sphinx couchant on each side. A small porcelain cylinder is ornamented with interlaced lotus flowers in intaglio, and ii. gold drop inlaid with turquoise in the shape of a fig. To the center of a gold chain is fastened a scarabaeus of solid gold inlaid with lapis lazuli, and a bracelet of quite modern pattern is dec~ orated with figures in repousse, with a ground inlaid with lapis lazuli. ’ It is plain from this account that lapis lazuli was the most commonly used of the precious stones. ' It is interesting to observe that it is also mentioned in Job, “one of the oldest books "in the ’Vv‘orld. ‘It is probable that the' ancients did not understand how to cut diamonds, ow- ing to their hardness.
