American Women Not weakly.

Boston Globe
American women may not be rs robust as
those OF other countries; they usually are
much slightcr In build But strength is not
always 10 the stout no more than the race is
always to the swift. They have vigorous,
wiry constitutions, capable of almost any
amount Of endurance.
1t is n false and unwarranted assumption
to represent them as a nation of weaklings.
TAX the young women in any Of our col.
leges who surely arc representative groups,
gathered from all directions and ID /, the cx
ception TO find among them one who IS
weakly. The majority OF them Wi! be
slender ani delicate looking, bat, a. the
same time, their actual physical con
dition Is that of aimos. perfect
health boundlcSs vigor and vitality.
And among older women much the samo
thing is true, though not so generally. De-
hility and sickness will he found much Of
teucr among them, but not often enough to
warrant the frequently expressed opinion
that the American woman is sick. On the
contrary. the American woman is an excep-
tonally strong and vigorous specimen OF the
feminine sex, nni all these mournfgl aud
pitying sentiments that have passed current
as truth for so long. just because they have
been 50 often repeated, are entirely mistakes
and uncallcd for.

And them some of the women got 10 tell

up old ingram into carpet rags, Another made

Of the kind of coats with wings like dol

boots that were too small for him, another her
husbands hat which bad been very much all
mircd, another made her sons hose in summer
time out of the legs Of her own, cut off and
rounded at the toes, another made all her own
essences and baking powders at home with a
great saving, another made lniident out Of
spirits of tuipentinc and kerosene, another
mended tin ware and broken dishes herself,
another cut and made all the mems clothes,
and 50 on and So on.

The Women Who Adopt Puppies.

MIS-. SWlASHeliIi,
As for ''those women who prefer nursing
puppies rather than their own babies" they
are moved by the universal law of nature,
which struggles for the survival Of the iittest
AMI subordinates the inferior to tho superior
animal In their case the difference between
the puppy and the baby is that the puppy
never will become Ii street flht, display a
voluptuous form tD every man she meets, and
50 animalize him 60 the extent of her power;
puppy will never sinpcr behind her fan
aud turn up her eyes, like a duck in Il
thunderstorm, To catch an eligible young
man Puppy will never he u dude, or n de
faultcr, a fool or felon, and the probabiIi-
ties are that the baby OF such woman
would be one or several OF these curiosties
Then every woman should know her place, i'm
animated nature, and If one feels that this Is
subordinate TO that Of dog, why should she
not stem into IL,

Long Engineers Runs.
Railway Age.l

Railway Age
Probably the longest run by engineers on
any railroad leading out of Des Moines, or in
fact in the State of Iowa, is that of the Wa
bash Railway engineers from Des Moines to
Moberly, Mo-, a distance of 1877 miles. The
extent of this run may Je realized when it
is stated that the usual distance on all well
operated roads is as nearly as possible 100
miles, very few more or less. The Rock
Island Road across Iowa, 300 miles, has that
distance divided into three divisions for it's
engineers-Davenport to Brooklyn, Brook
lyn to Stuart, and from Stuart to Council
Bluffs. The Keokuk brarch, 100 ODD miles,
is the exception, there being no divisions on
that run. The Chicago Burlington & Quincy
as strictly as possible divides a. the regula-
tion limit Of 100 miles; ditto the Chicago &
Northwestern, bu, the latter has run of
$50 miles from Boone 20 Council Bluffs for
its passenger engineers only. 1t will there
fore be seen that the Wabash run from Des
Moines to Moberly is nearly double that Of
ordinary distances covered by engineers, and
from forty to fifty miles greater than any
other run in Iowa. Not only that but the
passenger engineers double this run three
times week, or three trips each in six days
There is, of course, an incentive for this ex
traordinaIy labor Of 394 miles day by the
engineers They are paid by the mile, and
therefore earn from $185 to 5000 per month,
while the usual engineers wages is less than
$3.50 per month. This is the reason that
these engineers are patient and capable of
this longsrun, and in that they are very
human.
