Fleming, of the Harvard Observatory. This alert woman astronomer is now credited with the discovery of eight of the fourteen stars of this class which have been found in more than four centuries of observation. The aptitude of the feminine mind for astronomical research has been well demonstrated at Harvard, where Miss Leavitt last year noted nine hundred new variable stars in the photo- @raphic plates taken in Peru of the small Magellanic cloud. Miss Cannon and’ Miss Leland, of the Harvard staff, have also made important discoveries, England had a famous woman astronomer in Mary Somerville a hundred years ago. In America, since Maria Mitchell pointed the way, women have taken up astronomy as a life work in yearly increasing Bumbers and with constantly increasing celebrity. Among women now in the front of the profession here are Prof. Mary Whitney, of Vassar; Prof. Anne Sewell Young, of Mount Holyoke; Miss Mary Proctor and Mabel Loomis Todd. Mrs. Walter Maunder, of Greenwich, England, has! distinguished herself as the discoverer of the rays which form the outer extension of the sun’s corona. An interesting feature in this eminence of woman in astronomy is} the additional proof it gives of her possession of a mathematical mind, an essential thing in an astronomer. The record she has made in busi- ness had already dispelled old illusions as to her head for figures. By the census of 1900 there were nearly 74,000 women bookkeepers in the United States, to cite only that branch of their business develop-| ment. Women have risen to be treasurers of street railways, presidents | of national and savings banks, secretaries of financiers on salaries of £10,000 and $12,000, executive heads of building and contracting firms, buyers for large stores, &. They are to be met with in a hundred! responsible capacities, all of them outside the once circumscribed field of | female occupations, and in all of which a talent. for figures is a prime| tequisite of success. This general progress of the sex higher up into gainful occupations | demanding superior mathematical ability is convincingly illustrated in the census returns for the 5,000,000 and more women employed in the| nation's industrial life. The percentage of women earning a livelihood s in| 1900 showed a three-fold increase ae that of 1890, Teme of| women bookeepers and accountants was exactly double that of the | previous decade, and that of saleswomen Nearly so. Meantime the per-| centage of milliners, seamstresses and dressmakers perceptibly decreased \ and the percentage of servants and waitresses fell off from 30 to24. These changes point to “star-gazing” by women all along the line. They have looked above and beyond the narrow round of duties once! laid out for them, and they are constantly discovering and grasping new| opportunities for their ambition, World's Home Magazine, Saturday Evening, September 2, 1905.

But it does not seem to occur to the wives of the modern Bluebeard that ™ i ( husband is anything but the final repository of their hard-earned savings. That is why the most profitable “get-rich-quick” scheme yet devised is that 4 of rapid-transit matrimony, whose laxest exponent is the amazing Dr. Witz~ hoff, . | The man who promises the average woman a million has a far greater hold on her imagination than the one who stolidly hands over his weekly envelope to her care.

Now, hot air is the Bluebeard’s stock in trade, and his success is due largely to the free and unlimited use of it. No skiil is required in heating ft clther.
