A Boston lawyer, Miss Leila J. Rob-
inson, has lately removed to Washing
ton territory which is an excellent field
for lawyer of her sex. Miss Robinson
is not one of the Belva Lockwood varle-
ty of woman lawyers, who make notorie-
ty a substitute for legal knowledge, but
she has had careful and thorough
professional education, which, with a
mind naturally acute and forcible, and
% valuable experience in some branches
of practice before leaving Boston,
makes.a solid basis for genuine and
legitimate success in her profession.
The bar of the territory, which includes
some lawyers Of more than ordinary
talent and learning, has formed 8
favorable opinion of her abilities, and
it is said that she is likely to be elected
a Judge when the people having ad.
.vanced beyond the territorial stage,
can elect their own Judges.

head would make 120 tons, OF sixty two horse

make as much manure as one COW, Or twelve

the stock Of hundred-acre farm consisting of
at least ten head Of cows, ten steers, pair of
horses, 100 sheep and ten pigs, would make in
the aggregate 3l6 tons of manure every year,
or sufficient to give twelve tons per acre every
fourth year. and this. if well cared for, would
be double the value OF ordinary manure.

The Reichstag go to show that Socialism
is Oh the increase. The general suppo-
sition was that only a. few malcontents
in the towns were committed to Social

eminent to thinking. An analysis Of
the vote ordered by the Imperial Chan
celor shows that the bulk of the new re-
cruits to Socialism are moderate men
who desire redress for the more cry
ing evils resulting from an over-Zealous
enforcement Of repressive laws. Prince
Bismarck has taken the matter in hand
and promises to make certain moderate
concessions. In this manner he has d.
vided the deputies elected by the Social
lists, and will defeat the objects of the
more unrelenting of the malcontents.

thrown out and the hands hanging loosely at

the hands should be forcibly thrown
backwards until the backs of the
hands touch behind the shoulders.
while the palms come together before the
chest Let this motion be gone through with
rapidity some thirty times. In the next move
hold the arms straight above the head with
the palms of the hands forward; now, bend
ing the hips, bring the arms down in front,
keeping them straight all the time, until the
fingers touch the toes; then retufn the hands
to their original position above the mead.
This motion should be performed very solwiy
