WOMEN IN A VOLCANO. •Threo ‘ Aiiii-rU-aim S lak e th e l'crllou a Ue- «<;ent In to P opocatepetl, A t m idnight they rose from tlic rude couches in the m ountaineer’s hut where tV y hu-i rested and made ready, How? By dressing warmly, w rapping their fe e t arid limbs in fold upon fold of cloth, since a t every step they m ust break .the glazed cru st, covering the un melting, suotys beneath, and by shielding Avtth thick veils their eyes and skin against the glare and sharp needles of the snow, though it was bu t moonlight. Slowly then the three ladies; with th e ir masculine friends* began the long walk. To each lady was assigned a guide fam iliar w ith th e • route, and it was his duty, as well as pleasure, to break the way fur them by •pu tting his la rg e r foot down and through the crust, so th a t th e ir labo r •was only to p u t their fe e t into bis tracks. Six mortal hours of plodding wearily onward and upward! hardly daring to look behind, a t least not often, upon the world, seemingly lying in chaos- be­ hind them, b u t themselves pressing up th e snowy heights before th.cui, wrapped in the moist, cool glissance .of the cloud land. Long, long before the, sun broke, through the clouds a t th e ir ’ feet upon a sleeping, mist-wrapped world below, clid they see his glorious flumes spring from the fa r seas, and re ­ flected upon the heights toward which they climbed,, though fain t his glow till a la te r hour of th a t very, very.early morning. B u t at last, w ith their feet wrappings cut to pieces, th e y s to o d upon the' borders of the volcano,' Mountain Popocatepetl. Glad enough were the worn-out ladies to rest in a poor shelter, while their Indian guides and cook prepared th e ir breakfast?. . A fain t m ist lay ra th e r than rose Upon the crater, and the odor of the sulphur was already perceptible. When, b reak fast being done and all p reparations made, it became evident th a t the three Americans actually in­ tended to descend to the sulphur .beds in tlic bottom of •the crater, .tlio poor •Indians were seized with ■ terror. No woman’s foot liad ever touched these dens and caves, these mines of sulphur, from which their labor had drawn for centuries, from which Cortes obtained the means for the fiery conquest of th e ir forefathers. These sources of supply would be bewitched, despoiled, should a woman’s foot ever touch them They fell upon thoir knees and begged them to desist from the a t­ tempt, -But the Americans had not braved the toil and danger of the;as­ cen t to retu rn unsatisfied, Go down they would The Indians shook their heads and sighed b en eath their breath, nqd wondered w hat kind of men those fa ir gentlemen could be who did not seem to be able to h in d e r. their v\ Ives from .carrying bu t this aw fu l resolu­ tion. But, since there seemed to l e no help fo r it, they prepared theinselv -s to le t down these ex trao rd inary bnrdens upon the windlasses. .Yes! there n r nothing else for it fb u t to go d o u :» a.* th e gentlemen did upon the cross learn of the rope, which the Indians s k wly unwound from above the fair airist, if so she m ight be called, keeping hei self from being dashed again st the craggy, yellow-seamed and stained walls by means of n stro n g cane or stick, w itb which siio pushed herself away from th e c ra te r sides as she descended. One of the ladles, no t so strong as the others, became unconscious from the. fumes of sulphur and had to be hu rried up to the a ir again. What was the Interior like? An immense nearly circular chamber, of which the floor whs an uneven, yellow -tinted surface, like a caldron whose contents have hardened while boiling in huge bub­ bles. • Crags and huge spikes or half p illa rs or sulphurous masses filled in th e weird shop of the sulphur gnomes. No language can fully describe such an interior. 'Only those who are w ill­ ing to pay th e price which the Ameri­ cans paid can have the -remarkable sensation of seeing and being inside of a volcano. B u t ouco more restored to th e upper air, no t the le a st rem arkable p a rt of this adventure remained to b j tried. Standing on the border, the desccni over the snow slopes, up which they had toiled the n ig h t before, looked sharp and dangerous; and too sharp and dangerous it was to attem p t by fo o t as they had come up. The guides m u st take them down oil the patat.is. Broad-plaited straw m ats were these, as stiff as an ordinary half-inch board. The guide s a t in fron t w ith a steering pole, which was also a crook of safety, since, if the descent became too rapid, th e re was imm inent danger of the whole p a rty being pitched head over heels down th e steep, perilous slope of ice. Behind the guide s a t the ladies, a s boys slide down hill, and a t a given signal away they flew. Such a sled triall Tobogganing is child’s play compared to it. , The dis­ tance tip it had taken Bix hours to climb was. parsed over again in just fifteen minutes. Then the wholo party were once more below the snow limit, and feeling that they had once more re­ turned lo the world in which they had previously passed their lives, for their other experiences had seemed to be­ long to another sphere than that of earth.^—-Cincinnati Commercial- Gazette. I t l ’nya Well, Is Busily Learned and I* ^Specially Adapted to Women, A woman’s n a tu ra l delicacy of touch 1 b scarely anywhere more valuable than in th e re-touchlng of photographic negatives, an occupation which women .find pleasant and profitable, A nega­ tive, in all the liner kinds of photog­ raphy, is a glass plate, specially ■pre­ pared, on which the image of the one. photographed appears inversely; all the ligh t po rtion s-face, hands, e tc .—ap­ pearing duric or black, while what is to be dark in the finished picture appears lig h t or white. W rinkles and facial blemishes are often greatly exagger­ ated, and appear in tlic negative per­ fectly white. I t is to improve th e picture by remov­ ing or softening those blem ishes, th a t th e plate is sen t to th e “ retoucher,” Tlio process consists in filling in, with skillful touches of a fine-pointed pen­ cil, all the inequalities and irregu lari­ ties of the surface, molding and smooth­ ing the face as much as desirable, while preserving th e likeness. The retouched plates are sent back to the photographer, who m akes the prints from them. The work is not difficult to learn, One girl of my acquaintance took less than a dozen lessons, and in six weeks from the time she received her first instruc­ tion was able to obtain negatives from a gallery a t very fair pay, and in the busy seasons was ottered more w o rk than she could do. H er case may have Wen exceptional, but I think- th a t any b righ t woman, w ith good eyesight, can become a fair retoucher in throe months’ practice. llesidents of N ew York city can take advantage of the free course of instruc­ tion-offered by the Cooper institute, hu t for those who m ust pay. the term s of instruction vary. The friend previ­ ously mentioned m et with one photog­ rapher who asked 'seventy-five dollars to allow his retoucher to instruct} her; in another place twenty-five dollars wits the price demanded. She finally found a kind-hearted woman retoucher who gave her the lessons she needed a t the reasonable rate of one dollar apiece, and afterw ards assisted her by friendly criticisms. An outfit for doing “ piece-work” os the work taken away from the photo­ graph gallery is culled, may be provided a t small ■expense.’1 A retoucher's desk costs from five dollars up: bu t one may be made by anyone handy with tools, for much*less than this. A small bot­ tle of “ retouching fluid,” a few Siber­ ian graphite pencils, a-pioee of emery- paper on which to sharpen these, and u magnifying glass for fine work, are all th e tools necessary for tlio beginner. The pay for negatives tuken away from tlic gallery is from tw enty to th irty cents a piece for “cabinets,” lind- more or less for other plates, according to size. E ight to ten.negatives is a fa ir day’s work, though a retoucher in a gal­ lery will 'sometimes do a half dozen or more negatives in th e . evening, besides the regu lar day's work. But this is, of course, exceptional, and involves, more­ over, a dangerous stra in on the eyes, A first-class retoucher, regularly em­ ployed, commands a salary o f from 815 to 825 a week; a beginner could scarcely expect, as much as the lower sum; but a woman with any aptitude for the work should become a'first-class retoucher in a year. If a woman be so situated th a t she can no t leave home, she may cam-many a dollar a t ‘'piece-work,” specially d u r­ ing the Christmas holidays, when there Is always a demand for ex tra help a t retouching. While I th ink I am safe in sta tin gm y opinion th a t a really first-class retouch­ er can uljvays find work a t a reason­ able remuneration, it is n a tu ra lly not t' lie expected th a t every woman who desires employment can become a re­ toucher. But the work is of a so rt specially adapted to women.—Ladies' liome Journal. WHAT SHE WOULD DO, I f Hhr Were a Yuung CSIrl and Hail ller Hally llreml to Karri. "W hat would you do,” asked one woman of another who is wise in the w ay s of bread-w inning, “ if you were a young girl and hail you r living to earn?” “ I don 't know ,” was the answer, “but I can tell you some things 1 wouldn’t do." “ I wouldn’t teach unless the ‘call* was almost deafening, because then 1 should be carrying my little napkinful of ta len ts to a m a rk e t sadly over­ crowded. "I wouldn't study stenography or typew riting unless 1 knew or had op­ portunity to learn two or three modern languages besides English, and unless I was to s ta rt uncommonly well educat­ ed; because Unless 1 could fit myself for one of the few extrem ely good places I should find the other places had little money In them, “t wouldn't go behind a counter un­ less I heeded 81 dr $5 or 80 a week so urgently that I couldn’t do without it while I was learning a better business. If I did turn saleswoman I wouldn't do my work languidly or negligently, for I hope I should know that the question of who should continue always to earn 80 and who should earn 810 would bo con­ ditioned by that other question out of 800 or 1,000 who were the half dozen that, had most intelligence and capacity for applieat'on, * "Whatever 1 did I wouldn't do it with an eye to that and nothing more. I would remember a certain; assistan t bookkeeper who does h e r w ork w ith perfect exactitude and punctuality, y e t sees every lad who en te rs th e ojfico p ro ­ moted above he r head because th e lads open th e ir eyes in m any directions, and are ready and oagor th e m om ent them is chance fo r an advance, while every afternoon th e bookkeeper rolls up all thoughts of her w ork w ith th e m ethod­ ical rolling of lie,r soap and white apron.

A REALISTIC DEVELOPMENT. Voting Wumpii Sli6ttltl Kiuleavor to Kourh un IMr;il That All thet World Love*. The young woman of to-day should not be ^deceived into th e , notion of a preferable realistic development be-, cause th e novelist of -to-day-gets h e r to sit to him as his model. This may be no certain indication that, she is either, good a r t or good nature. I ndeed slie m a y b e quite d rifting away from the ideal th a t a woman ough t to aim a t if we are to have a society th a t is not al­ ways tending into a realistic vulgarity and commonplace. I t is perfectly true th a t a woman is h e r own excuse for be ing, and in- a way slie is doing enough for the world by simply being a wom­ an. I t is difficult to ron.se lier-to-any sense of her duty as a standard of aspi­ ration. And it is difficult' to explain exactly vvliat it is th a t she is to do. If she asks if she.is .expected to be u mod­ el woman, the reply must be th a t tlio world does not mn-li banker a fte r w hat'is called the ' uio.ici woman.” It seems to be more a m atter of tendency, than buy thing else. Is she sagging to ­ wards realism or rising Towards ideal­ ism? Is she content to be .the woman Unit some of the novelists, and some of the paint ers also, say she is. or would she prefer to approach’ th a t ideal which all-the world loves? It s a question of standards. It is natural th a t in these days, when the approved gospel is, th a t it is b etter to be dead than . not to be real, society should try to approach nature by the way of the materialistically ignoble, and even go a t such a pace of realism as literature finds it difficult lo keep- up with; bu t it is doubtful if tlic young woman will get around to any desirable state of na­ ture l>y this route. We -may no t bo able to explain while servile im itation of nature degrades a rt and deg.rudes woman, bu t both deteriorate, without" an ideal, so ’high th a t th ere Is no e a rth ­ ly model for it.
