Peculiar Pursuits for Women.

Every year women seem to engage
more freely than ever before in peculiar
pursuits. says an exchange. A young
lady in England is just publishing an
account of a journey she made with
only a valet, through a wild part of
Russia. She went on horseback and
travelled 1,5OO miles. She rode astride
and wore a sort of DIR. Mary Walker
costume, which at times she covered
with a coarse woolen gown. She slept
out at night on the ground, went bare
footed, ate vile food, lived in discom-
fort equal to that of Stanley or Ken
nan. and all to write book. Another
lady went over Alaska practically alone
and has written a book. and for women
to go around the world alone, has be-
come so old story as to no longer fur
nish amusement or delight for anybody.

W. c. TOnlIin, of Silver City, n. NJ, a

Midland. says the Kansas City Journal
Mr.. Tonkin has spent a number of
years in the western wilds, and has met
the American miner in almost all of his
many phases. In the course of a con-
! yersation with a group of friends the
question of the Unborn gallantry of the
American citizen to the fair sex became
the topic under discussion.
"A few months after my marriage" :"

me, and we set out with an ambulance,

in and continued all night. In the
storm lost my bearings and wandered
about until eight o'clock at night, when

An Absurd Demand.

The Democrats who are urging a
special recount of the inhabitants of
New York City should see that their de-
mand is an absurd one. Even if il were
certain that the population of the city
was understated by the census the
trouble could not be rectifed by a CEN
sus taken several months after the emu
meration of the rest of the country and
during different season of the year
Nothing but complete recount of the
whole Nation would be satisfactory, and
as there is a tolerably wen-g-ounded
opinion that the count does not show
the total number in any city or State,
but that there has been an average
failure to get complete returns, owing
to the cumbersomeness of the system of
enumeration, it is very probable that
that will not be resorted to. It must
always be remembered that while New
York has treated us to the greatest
quantity of growing and kicking, that
there are numerous Republican States
which feel that the censIs does not do
them justice. And it shuald also be
borne in mind that the defective system
which has worked so unsatisfactory
was mapped out solely by Democratic
House of Representatives. Fran

became stronger and wiser the older he

But are you sure that there has
been no falling off these last few

No indeed: it is just there where the
improvement is noticeable The older
he grew the better became his work.
And that makes it all the more discom-
forting to realize. that we can never Sc
cure any one who could do it one-tenth
as well, he added, mournfully.

CONCERNING THE FAIR SEX.

HALF of the number of pupils attend
ing the evening classes at Toynbee Hall
are women.
THE bachelor girl is now the term
applied to the young woman who leaves
the paternal home and strikes out for
herself.
A NEW female device for earning a
livelihood is that of going around to the
houses of society people and cleaning
and repairing fine dresses that have
been accidentally soiled or otherwise
injured. The scheme was developed in
Buffalo. There are some women who
have all they can attend to in this
line.
THE statute providing for the admis-
sion of women to medical examinations
at Oxford was rejected by only four
votes. This practically insures its sue
cess in the future, and the opposition
will not be long maintained. The num-
Der of women students in the healing
art increases almost daily, and their
achievements in the profession are con-
stantly gaining in dignity and import
ance. A large hospital for women in
London lately opened, which is minis
tered to by women only, is crowded to
its fullest capacity all the time.
THE number of women in America
employed in remunerative occupations
is 500, ,999, or nearly so per cent of the
total female population In the prevf
Gus decade the percentage was only
a13S per cent of the whole. Out of the
eleven classes of occupations, women
have increased comparatively in nine,
viz: Government service, professional
