S0BRIQUETS OF WOMEN.
hieK:!A.!A.MEs BORNE eY SOME OF
EUROPE'S FAMOUS LADIES.

Many of Them Were Merely Compliment
airy, and Did Not Signify Anything in
Particular = Some Were Appropriate,
While Others Said Too Much.
An excursion into the realm Of history and
biography shows that sobriquets have not
been bestowed upon women in any such de-
gree as upon men. Yet considerable num-
Der may be collected. For the most part they
are far less expressive and typical of charac-
ter than those given to the male sex. Many
of them are simply complimentary terms in
reference to their beauty or accomplishments,
and were bestowed by chivalrous gentlemen.
'Bloody Mary" as Mary, queen of Eng
land, was called, is certainly anything but a
f1attaring cognomen. Historians differ as to
whether she deserved the name. Some assert
that the responsibility for the sanguinary
acts of her reign should rest with her coun
selors, who are known to have approved and
projected them; others say, that. having
permitted these barbarisns, Mary well
merits the title history has fastened
upon her. However this may be, it is
well known that she signed the death
warrant of Lady Jane Grey with reluctance,
and absolutely refused to put her sister Eliza
beth and the Earl Of Devonshire to death
She often interfered in behalf of those whom
her ministers wished to deprive of their lives.
The renewal of the old laws against the Lei
lards is charged directly to her, though some
historians claim that many of the details OF
their persecution were kept from the knowl-
edge of the queen. Mary was i'll most Of the
time during her reign, and her condition was
often taken advantage Of by her ministers.
Mary was succeeded on the throne by her
sister Elizabeth, who was known in history
as ''Good Queen Bess." Quite a different
title from that borne by Mary. The normal
disparity between the two was not, however,
SO great as the sobriquet would indicate.
Mary seems to have been credited with less
goodness than she possessed, and Elizabeth
more But it cannot be denied that the reign
of Elizabeth was very successful, and one of
the most glorious and most celebrated epochs
in English history. 1t was an era of states
men, scholars, warriors and poets of the
highest renown. Considering the times,
Elizabeth was probably good enough to war
rant her title. She was a good queen, as
queens go. Elizabeth is also called The Vir
gin Queen"

A PAIR OF FEMALE WARRIORS.

Mary of Modena, the unfortunate queen of
James II of England bore the title of
"Queen of Tears Samuel Noble wrote
sHer eyes became eternal fountains of sorrow
for that crown her own i'll policy contributed
to lose" To the average reader, however.
that misfortune would seem to be slight in
comparison with that of being yoled for life
to parsonage so stupid and unreasonable as
James.
Joanna, the beautiful daughter of Ed
mund, Earl of Kent, gained the sobriquet Of
'Fair Maid of Kent" She was three times
married, the third time to Edward, the
Black Prince King Richard Ii of England
was their son.
Elizabeth Barton, a supposed seeress of the
Sixteenth century, was known as the 'Holy
Maid of Kent She was executed at Tyburn
April 81, 1884, on the charge of high treason
in having prophesied that great cala1nities
would fall upon England, and that Henry
VIII would die speedy and violent death
should he divorce Queen Catherine and marry
Anne Boleyn. Her prophecy does not appear
to have been fulfilled.
Elizabeth, queen of Bohemia and daughter
of James l of England, was called the
"Oueen of Hearts," from her kind and en-
gaging manner Through all her trouble and
i'll fortune, of which she had more than her
share, she preserved her dignity and good
ness, and commanded the love and admira-
ton of all who were brought in contact with
her.
'sThe Sen1iramis of the North" was a So
briuuet bestowed upon Margaret, daughter of
Waldemar III, king of Denmark, for her
warlike qualities. She seems to have fairly
earned it. After her fathers death she be-
came queen of Denmark. On the death OF
her husband, Haco VIII, king Of Norway,
she became the ruler of that country also.
She then conquered Sweden, and was ac-
knowledged its queen. In the latter country
she was unpopular, and her name is stIl held
in loathing by the Swedes, who accuse her OF
having been cruel and oppressive. Some his
torians deny this charge. At any rate, Mar
garet was queen Of great executive ability.
The sobriquet "Semiranis Of the North" has
also been given to Catherine II, empress OF
Russia, for the same reasons that it was
given to Margaret, and with equal appropri-
ateness.
Another woman of military renown was
Augustine Zaragoza of Spain, who earned
the sobriquet, ''The Maid Of Saragossa," by
her bravery during the defense of Saragossa
against the French in 1859. Her most cele
brated act of herois1n was taking the station
of her lover, who had fallen, in one of the
batteries and working the gun in his place
Byron has immortalized her in 'HChilde Har.

The Real "Won,an Problem"

Recognizing heredity as the distinct
i've attribute of the female sex, it be-
comes clear that it must be from the
steady advance of woman rather than
from the uncertain fluctuations of man
that the sure and solid progress OF the
future is to come The attempt to
move the whole race forward by
elevating the sex that represents the
principle of Instability has long
enough been tried. The,many cases of
superior men the sons of superior
mothers, coupled with the many more
cases of degenerate sons of superior
sires, have taught us over and over
again that the way to civilize.the race
is to civilize woman. And now, thanks
to modern biologic science, we see why
this is so. Woman is the unchanging
trunk of the great genealogic tree,
while man, with all his Wanted supe-
riority, is but the branch, a grated
scion, as it were, whose acquired quail
tiles die with the individual, while
those of woman are handed on to
tAturity. Woman is the race, and the
race can be raised UP only as she is
raised up. There is no fixed rule by
which Nature has intended that one
sex should excel the other. any more
than there is any fixed point beyond
which either can not further develop.
True science teaches that the
education of woman is the only sure
road to the evolution ofman.-Prot:

Strange Things in Numbers.

"Here's curious study in figures"
said the expert accountant. Multiply
the figures l. 3. 5, 4, 3, 6, z, s, 9 by 45
and we get this result: sos. 555, sos.
Reverse the figures thus: 9, 8. z, 6, 5,
4, 5, 2, and use the same mutiplier,
and we get another curious string, as
follows: 444, 444, 444,445. Taking the
same figures as amultiplicand and re-
versing the figures 45-54-we get an
equally curious result: $500, 666, 606.
Again reversing the multiplicand and
using the same multiplier, makes the
sum total all 3's except the first and
last figures, to wit: 5,3S3, $50, 1874. You
will perceive that the first and last
figures put together make 54-the
multiplier. Take the half of 54-27-
or reverse 2 and and use it a null
tiplier and the results will be just as
astonishing-all 6's or Is. There is q
witchery in these figures can't under
stand; can you?"-Bufalo Express.

DEATH-RATE OF INFANTS.
The Dangers of Babyhood and Childhood
Illustrated by Figures.

Illustrated by Figures.
1t is a startling fact, which meets
the student of vital statistics at the
outset of his investigations, that from
one-third to one-half of all the persons
born into the world die before reach
ing the age of five years. Or, to face
the terrible reality from another point
of view. so great are the dangers of
infancy, that child which has COM
pleted its fifth year actually has an
expectation of life more than twelve
years greater than it had at birth.
The exact proportion of deaths
varies greatly in different countries
and localities, at different times and
under different circumstances. Statis-
tics are of value only in showing aver
age results. In Norway, for example,
the population dying under five is
stated by DIR. Farr, to be 2O4.5 per
1000 born; while in England, it is 1888
per 1000, and in Italy 567 per 1000.
In fifty-one so-called healthy dis
tricts" of England and Wales, accord
ing to the same authority, the mortal
ity under five is 175 per 1000 born,
while in the Liverpool district, repre-
senting the most unfavorable sanitary
conditions, it is AGO per 1000.
In the different parts of our own
country, we find nearly as great a
variety as on the continent of Europe.
Even in the same latitude, the proper
ton varies greatly, according as city
or country districts are considered. In
the State of Vermont, which contains
no large cities, and represents essen
TALLY rural population, the number
of deaths under five, for the year 1888,
was 23.S per cent. of the whole num-
Der of deaths; in the State of Massa-
chusetts, which embraces several large
cities within its limits, for the twelve
years ending in 1884, it was 34.74 per
cent; and in the city of New York
alone, for the seven years ending in
1873. it was exactly 50 per cent. of the
entire mortality.-J. n. French, NJ d.,
