R. Howard Kelly has been a familiar one in the courtrooms of Cook county." It is rather an imposing figure, too, call, robust, animated,' the embodiment of 'splendid health and energy. In those days ib took a fair amount of pluck and determination to work into tho profession of a court stenographer. But with necessity and ambition behind tho desire to become a court stenographer, Mrs. Kelly determined to occupy,that position which is always on top of any honorable profession. With that inccntivo and a wonderful fund of self rolianco she has pushed ahead to that coveted placo until at1 last her worth was recognized and she was appointed to tho rosponsiblo task of official reporter in that branch of tho circuit court presided over by, Judge Murray F. Tuley. ��������� -Mrs. Kelly likes to believo that her success is largely duo to two ideas which have '. dominated her actions���������first, that on no account should her sex bo used in any ef . fort to secure business, and tho lawyei who tried to flatter .her by giving hor a : case because she was a woman was liable 'to bo informed that she sought business only on a strictly competitive basis, be- '" causo she could do tho work as well and as satisfactorily' as "any othor man ot Women have been intrusted with tho position of ticket agent by the Pennsylvania lines, the Baltimore and Ohio, the Pittsburg and, Lake Erie and the Pittsburg and Western in this vicinity, and, while none of the positions is one of great authority, they still require careful and concise work.���������Pittsburg Leader. ���������5sJV-' MRS.

' ' Twenty yours of hard work along such lines must inevitably bring more than a modicum of success. Mrs. Kelly laughingly says that she is a much better stenographer than a bookkeeper, and she would nob liko to bo bound to the so callod balance shoet which, by much tribulation, sho produces at the close of each , year's work, but oven allowing for "E. & D. E." if tho income tax law had gone into effect a few years ago she would have been obliged to add another item by an additional tax account in her ledger. , A pan of her work which she much enjoys is the official reporting of conventions, a branch of tho business of general reporter which requires peculiar skill and therefore is genorally well paid. This work calls her - to interesting points all .-over tho country'and brings her into con- ' tact'-witb tho most intelligent mindsthus congregated.- In tho interests of business, 'religion,'social or other ideals and the constant intercourse with such men and . women she has cemented many valuable friendships. Taking it all in all, Mrs. . Kelly" declaros that whilo-a comfortablo incomo is by no means to bo undoresti- .mated it weighs comparatively littlo as against deposits of friendship, respect and comradeship which havo como into her daily lifo through business associations.��������� Chicago Times-Korald. Women Coming to tho Front. Woman, lovely woman, is making, hor influcnco felt in local railway circles. Her ad-vent-has been quiet and unostentatious, but sho has como to stay, and the general - consensus of opinion on tho part of tho .managing railway officials is that she is a welcome and useful adjunct to the army .'-of railway employees in this section of the country. . , Thus far tho gentler sex has confined its invasion to tho appropriation of such , positions as those of minor ticket agonts, teib'graph oporators in signal towers and stenographers. According to tho views of prominent local railway officials, it is in tho last mentioned class that womon will prove most valuable. A girl who has had a fair education, tho high school variety, for instance, and who isof the ordinary acumon and brightness which distinguish the daughters of Mother Eve, can with littlo prompting pick .up the threads of railroad vernacular and operation. Sho proves accurato and quick. and, what is much moro to the point, evinces a desire to do hor work un- dorstandingly. A well known passenger agent of a local railroad in discussing this subject said to . a Leader representative: "A woman stenographer, granted she has the basis of a ' good'eciucation, is a usoful adjunct to tho office of tho railway official. I have had sovernl of them, and they were generally , satisfactory. When I am distating a largo number of letters at a rapid rate* I do not; want to feci that I have a stenographer who will fail to correct any small slips that I may mako either in grammar or in matters pertaining to railway operation. Fov instance, in a hurry I may give a wrong train number or a wrong station. Kow, my stenographer must bo posted and able to instantly correct such a mistako without interrupting my dictation. I ���������uvb found that women stenographers are very careful and havo retentive memories for "such items and therefore thoy are valuable assistants." How to Broil Successfully. To give meat the delicious flavor ohar- aiteristic of a broil and brown tho surface so quickly that none of- the delicate juices escape is'impossible on a fl.ro tbat has just been monded or that sends out'jets of gus. _j. hoc. clear fire is indispensable. Tn������ gridiron should be scrupulously clean and heated thoroughly before tho broil is put on it. Grease the bars of the gridiron with suet or kitchen-fat; npver with butter. Meat needs plenty of flare, fish but little. Put moat so near tho lire that it will bo in the flaro which tho fat drops causo. As soon as the surface on one sido is browned turn and brown tho other side. After this turn frequently and remove a littlo from tho fire to finish cooking. Boef an inch jhick will require from 15 to 20 minutes' broiling.' Trim off'tho skin from1 mutton chojis, leavo only fat onough to make them palatablo and broil about ten minutos. Serve on a hot dish and put a piece of, butter and a few drops of lemon juice on each chop. Broil pork chops,in the same way. In turning a broil'never stick a fork into the lean part, as this allows .the delicate flavored juices, upon which its excellence in great part depends, to escape. A seasoning of pepper, mustard, herbs, onion juice or the liko should, be added five min- ������tes before taking it off the fire, but salt Ihe last thing before serving. . Sorve on a hot platter. ' Place a few. bits of soft butter on; a- hot platter, salt on- one side of the' broil, lay this side downward, add more butter and salt- and'serve. Fish should be salted beforo it is broiled. Slices of halibut or other large fish ' should bo seasoned with salt and pepper, rubbed fon both sidqs with'molted butter, thon rolled In flour and fried immediately. Lay salt mackerel, skin sido uppermost, in cold water overnight. Dry with a cloth, cut off-the head and tip of tail, broil, serve on a hot dish aud season with butter and a fow drops of lemon juico or vinegar. Salmon and other'larger fish should be freshened 24" hours. Oysters should be wiped dry by placing .them ( between the folds of a towel aud pressing lightly. Thon roll in beaten egg and breadcrumbs, let them lie 15 minutes, then broil on a greased gridirou.���������Country Gentleman. The Way In Vanity Fair. . When a girl has throttled herself with a band of rigid linen that paralyzes her neck muscles and saws a crimson line beneath her.chin; when she has cut off her breath ing power abruptly at the waist, burdened her back with a ponderous mass of swinging, dragging"cloth, "poised a',winged and ribboned monstrosity on her head and dazzled hor.eycsight with fluttering dots and dashos, she looks ber very best./ She is chic, sho is good form, she pleases our distorted vision as no exponent of nature's laws ever could. Seoing her coming, one recognizes at onco that she is "possible"���������that is, that there is no outer reason why sho should not belong to the sacred -inner circle of "Vanity Fair. Tho impossible watch her pass with frank envy or with a labored indifference that betrays the same feeling The socially- probable (those who very likely belong to that inner circle) lean forward in their broughams to see if she is not a person to bo bowed to. Those who rule the social world meet her graciously and give her a fair chance to provo herself worthy of their sot, whero an equally deserving person with an easy going collar and an unrestricted diaphragm would be passed over indifferently and must cut her way ito through a thicket of pride and prejudice if she is to enter at all. A girl's other details form a sort of sign language, and, though it takes a social expert to read it with absolute accuracy no one can miss its general meaning. The more valiantly sho has sacrificed personal comfort to the torturing laws of correct feminine gearing cho more the masculine spectator wants to. know her and to have ib seen of men that sho knows him. A quick pace sets her heart to pounding angrily at its barriers, and a passing wind swirls her into a helpless mass of skirts, but sho never has to struggle" unaided with a heavy swing door or push an oleva- tor button with her own fingors or wait unnoticed at a crowded counter. The world stops aside for her, and she walks unjostled in a glittering social haze. She finds a velvet cloak at every puddlo. Surely bodily freedom is nob a high price to pay for all this.���������Munscy's Magazine. How to Pack a Trunk. Lay aside your ��������� sandals, nightdress, toilet articles, medicine and shoo dressing for your traveling brig. It is wise to tako an umbroil*, in tho hand. Somo strap the sunshade to this, but in caso of a shower you would not know what to do with tho sunshado, so it is best to put tho latter into tho trunk. Those with adjustable handles are best for packing. Pack in layers, having, everything as flat as possible. This economizes room. All delicate apparel should be wrapped separately in tissue paper or towels, and slccvns of fine gowns should bo stuffed out with nowspapors, also the crowns of hats and bonnets, after .���������which thoy may be pin- nod (hatpins) to tho bottom or sides of hatboxes to keep thorn from shaking about. Aigrets and other high adornments may be detached, then fastened on afterward. Fold tho front breadth of skirt in its crease; then it will not look crumpled. It is not of great importance if the other breadths are creased! Thoy soon shako out. Never double over the bottom of a skirt if it is longer than tho trunk. Double from the top instead, where thero is no stiffening to hold creasps. Fold the waists in- sido out as smoothly as possiblo and stuff out the loops of largo bows with newspapers. Hose, undergarments, etc., may be saved out to tuck into corners and spacos to keep tho layers from jarring. The main point Is to keep a smooth surface in packing, placing layer upon layer, and when bulky articlos are put in building around them until you have a smooth surface again, j Never crowd breaknblo articles in the cor ners or sides; rather wrap them in newspapers and place among the clothing. Some may advise you to carry bottles in your trunk. Don't do it, unless, of course., they are done up chemist fashion. We have carried shoe dressing and preserves imong clothing several times, but tbe last bimo it was not a success, and so we ad-> rise you to take such articles by hand or jack by themselves and send by express. ���������New York Ledcer.

TRACK OF THE XOUTH POLE FROM 1890 TO 1898. ' - are not always at tho same points on the earth's surface, bub continually change their positions. Should Lieutenant Peary or Dr., Nan sen or any other would-be discoverer of ��������� tho North Pole succeed in reaching the coal of his aspirations, and, having "the ��������� means -of - determining the position of the - pole, exactly, -should he mark the spot, as he probably would do, by planting firmly there his -national banner, the .next explorer .'to. reach the spOt'uudto mark'' it in the same way, and with., equal ' accuracy, .would plant his banner in.a .different place, and tho next,would find the* polo in a different place still. It wanders���������not to any groat distance, to be" "sure���������but' still sulliciont- ly^to afford room for all the national banners thut aro likely ever to' bo'sct to mark it. And it wanders, too, in apparently a very capricious way. - Tho diagram given ^herewith shows the track pursued by the North-Pole, according to Dr. Albrccht, a German astronomer, who has recontlv published the results of his investigation of the phenomenon,, between the years 1590 and 1898. The region covered by this'chare is sixty feet square, whence we may judge - readily of the distance to which tho pole is liable to depart from its mean, but rarely occupied, position at the centre of tho diagram. Tho irregularity of' tho' track' suggests that the pole staggers badly as it travels. No - ono save a mathematician who had the utmost confidence in the sobriety of the pole would "for a moment ^thihk that thero-'was anything like system in a movement represented by a line . so strangely coilod as, this, and ,yot Dr. Chandler has shown conclusively that there is undoubtedly system about it, though the cause of t*\e movement cannot as yet bo assigned, and tho .movement .itself has not yet been determined fully in'all its det'ails. "-The main 'result brought out by the analysis of Dr. Chandlar may be presented thus: The point ac tha ce,ntre of this diagram may be called the "pole of the .earth's figure." It is the precise centro of the flattened area of which we havo all heard, as characterizing each of the 'earth's polar regions. ,.Is ought .to bo also the pole���������north polo���������of,tho earth's axis of rotation; but it isn't'. The- ���������'''pole ot rotation" travels around tho .'���������'���������'pule of figure" with a movement of which the. complexity, as shown ,in the diagram,'is' due to the fact that thero are, two move- ���������inents superposed, one upon the other. First, tho moving pole travels, in a direction from'west to east, in a Small circle, of. about 28-fcet diameter, in an average/ period of 428 days. Secondly, this circle- its centre-���������performs a circuit, in the same direction, about tho "pole of figure" in an ellipse, of which the longer diameter is. about 25 feet, tho shorter eight feet. The polo of figure is at the centre of this ellipse. Tlie uverago period of this second revolution is ono year. This is the fundamental scheme; but it is modified by systematic variations, which appear to have a cyclo of about (i(j years. The diameter of the circle varies from 16 to 3(3 foet, and the period of rotation in it ranges between 433, and 434 days. The ellipse also is probably subject to variations, though these havo not boen determined. That these are the true movements is shown by the close approximation of the theoretical track, thus derived, to the actual track determined from observation. It is needless to remark upon the skillful analysis which was able to deduce this simplicity from such apparently, inextricable complexity. Methodical. !
