SPHERE IN LIFE
EVER-USEFUL WOMAN !
Woman's mission, woman's work, and woman's sphero are phrases we hear a good deal about from time to time, says an American writer. They are all intended to mean substantially the samo thing, though when analysed they have very little meaning at all. What is woman's sphere in life? Who can define it any more accurately than he can define man's sphere? Not many years ago, a ship was sailing for the port of San Francisco. It was still weeks out, when the captain and mate were sticken with fatal illness. It was a sailing vessel from the Indies, with many passengers and a valuable cargo on board. But when the captain was disabled not a man on board knew how to sail the ship. At this juncture a young lady passenger came forward (tho daughter of a sea captain), who, in her leisure, had studied tho science of navigation. She took command of and brought the vessel safely to port. She. could have carried it around the globe. She became tho heroino of the hour, and passengers and cargo owners vied with each other in showering rewards upon her for this great feat. She was a Miss Armstrong, afterwards Mrs. John A. Clark, of Chicago, now of Dakota.
