I'm WOMAN'S BEHALF.
STILL ADVANCING.

Women Rapidly Taking More Indcpend-
emit Place With Beneficial Results.
Among the crowds that entered Okla
homa when pistol shot proclaimed
that the new lands were open to settle
ment, were twenty-one-year-o girl
who had walked fifteen miles to the
border negro woman who had walked
twenty miles with a baby in her arms
and led a six-year-old child. three wom-
en- on horseback with children strapped
behind them, and woman sixty. five
years old on horseback This Okla
homa incident is only one indication of
the steady advance woman is making
toward an independent position in the
life and work of the world. She con-
quered the professions long ago, and
woman lawyers, physicians, preachers
and editors are no longer a rarity. Her
right to have as good an education as
her brother is also conceded, and that
she is taking advantage of it is seen in
the constantly increasing classes at
girls normal schools and female col
leges. One of the latter in Massachu-
sets has an entering class of 241. where
sixteen years ago the class numbered
only twelve. Probably every female
college and seminary can show SINH
lar growth in its classes. The demand
for increased educational facilities for
women is not peculiar to this country.
1t is seen in England and France as
well as here. The encouraging fact in
this latter advance of woman is that it
is directed more toward the practical
and not SO much toward the thcoreti-
cal. The demand for the ballot is no
longer the one avenue along which
women are directing their greatest eff
forts for place and position. They have
found other ways. If woman can prove
her fitness and inclination to make her
own living in the world, she will gain
new INDEPENDENCE in making a mat
rimonial choice, and more women will
contemplate with serenity the chance
they have of marrying, as estimated by
an English statistician in the following

An Association That Will he Productive
Of Much Good in Our Social Life.
The college bred women of New
York and it's cluster of surrounding
towns and villages are founding a club
of their own where they may meet and
exert their influence toward the promo
ton of literature, art and the hundred
other questions in which they are inter-
ested
1t is a new idea. born of desire to
effect higher development in all those
departments of life and industry in
which intelligent and educated women
can recall. no city in the union has an
organization of this kind. If the pio-
neer one here is what its projectors
hope it will be we may be certain that
the women in all these cities will fol-
low the example of their metropolitan
sisters
The influence of a club of this char
acter laid down on broad lines and in
diligently directed would be incalcula-
BILE 1t would count for all that is
noble and elcvating in our social life.
1t would be an aid to good government
to the highest and best development of
the American principle irrespective of
mere partisan parties and methods
1t would set the standard of good taste.

leaders of the new organization are un-

Marriage will be looked upon as less

Guides at Vesuvius.

A correspondent writes from Vale di
Pompei: 1.-The death of the Brazilian
journalist in Mount Vesuvius has rather
damaged the reputation of the guides,
but it is unjust to blame all the guides
and their agencies. 1t is true that some
of them are unfit to accompany stran-
gers, especially in times of eruption, and
even the permit of the police is no Sc
curity that the excursion will be a safe
one. But the chief fault lies with the
travellers themselves The guide who
accompanied the Brazilian correspond
ent has been regularly authorized to
conduct visitors for the last four years,
and was considered no inexpert guide.
But, as have often had occasion to
observe, foreign visitors, and especially
English young ladies, rebel against the
cautions of the guides and often run
and jump about on the very edge of
danger. 1t is therefore difficult when
some accident happens to define the re-
sponsibility of the guides. They are GER
tainly not to blame if the people they
conduct will not listen to them."-Lon-
don News.

WHAT WILL TIME GIVE?

What will Time give for what we lose,
Youths raptuaus hope,
The far outlook from which to choose
The wide, glad scope?
What will Time give? A little praise,
A little blame,
An added gift of changeful days,
Perhaps a name.
What will Time give? A narrow place,
A lonely spot,
Remembrance for a little space,
And then-forgot.

Eaggard's Literary Venture.

Nv entrance into literature was
purely an accident. says Rider Hag-
gard, speaking of himself Even after
my return from Africa had no idea of
entering the profession. | went to
Africa as secretary to one of the gov
ernors. | was in the country at the
time of the war. and left disgusted at
the outcome. My methods of book
making differed but little from those of
other authors. A writer must, to do
justice TO subject. have thorough
knowledge of his plot and characters
before touching pen to paper. He must,
too have collected an immense amount
of material on which to draw.
While in Africa made a close study
of the habits of the natives and the
country generally. In consequence,
when | returned to England | was in n
position to describe that | had seen
and h card. These materials, with Il
suilic lent amount Of romance blended
with them, are made use of in my tales
of African life.
As | have already stated my en-
trance into literature was due to chance.
While practicing at the bar | conceived
the idea of writing "A work on politics.
This, my maiden effort, proving sue
cessful was induced to write ro-
mancCS.
Dawn was my first effort. Then
followed other romaDces, including
.'She, which has been the most sue
ccssful of my books. l limit my work
ing hours to six daily. In the past ]
have been too productive, and in the
future will publish but one book a

WHY SHE LEFT MOlOKAI.
Sister Rose Gertrude's Reasons For Leav-
ing Her Work Among The Lepers.

The ground was divided into three
parts; one for ''suspectsn-thati is. per-
sous whom the doctors are not sure
having the disease--one for the lepers
under DR.. iutz's treatment. and the
third for the persons brought in for ex-
animation, and the unfortunates wait
ing to be shipped to Molokai. The
Board of Health invested the entire
control Of the hospital. apart from the
medical and surgical work, in their
agent, who also acts as a sort OF police
man to catch the lepers, and bring
them up for examination. He in his
turn gave over the authority TO the
Lunn-a sort of general overseer-one
of the leper patients. Il man of no edu-
cation, who confessed himself that be-
fore he got the disease" he was fond
of drinking and often had the devil"
This overseer retained all the keys of
communication until the day left, even
of the suspect" side which he ought
not to have entered, as he was a con-
firmed leper.
Space would fail were to tell of all
that took place during those six event
full months. In that time some of the
patients, formerly pronounced lepers,
were cured; the condition of all was
ameliorated, and hope sprang high in
the hearts of these hitherto despairing
people. Then came IA time when, In
several instances. the doctors wishes
and mine were put aside; some OF our
patients were made To work by the
Luna in an utterly unfit condition; one,
indeed, who had had Il strong fever,
was so thrown back that he nearly lost
his life. Lastly. we heard from the
patients that the Luna and the agent
had been speaking against the doctor
and myself, trying 10 prejudice the
people and do us harm. We COM
planned to the Board OF Health, as the
matter became more serious; they
seemed unwilling to take any steps IN
the matter. A native gentleman, re-
preventative of the people in the Legis-
Iatiye Assembly, took up the matter
and brought it before the House. A
committee from the House visited the
hospital three DAYS, and took down
voluminous evidences which was printed
in report. They found that the
Luna was unworthy of his Office, and
should be Immediately removed, as
also the agent OF tae bodfii OF Health.
This WAS not done. The President of
tie Board Of Health was removed from
his office.
For some unacc0untab.c reason OF
their own, they uphc!d the Luna and
the agent. and there was nothing left
but for the doctor and myself to resign,
it being impossible to work any longer
under the then existing circumstances.
And so. with an aching heart. We left
the people. with all the more sorrow
that their lives had been so bright with
hope before, as one OF them said III his
speech before the committee OF the
Legislative Assembly There never
has been such IA doctor before in these
islands; there never has been Il woman
who has cared so for TIE lepers. -
