What Scientific Methods Are Doing 10,
the FMIr Sex.

What Scientific Methods Are Doing for
the FAIr Sex.
This is the era of the heavyweight
athletic young woman, who walks
abroad with the swinging tread of a
grenadier, shoulders erect, chest ex-
panded and head held high, young
woman who thinks nothing of q ten
mile walk and is altogether new type
of American independence, says the
Boston Post.
She is the evolution of the modern
college. Higher education has done it
all, and before we know it we shall
have raised n race of amazons and the
girls of Laselle and Wellesley will be
challenging the boys of Yale and Har-
ward in rowing and racing apd football
athletics.
Prof. Bragdon, of Laselle seminary,
is authority for these facts: Since the
opening. of the seminary in September
up to date forty-two youns women have
gained pounds or over; three, Ii each;
two, 16; one, 10; one, is0a one, 22,. and
the record breaker has gained %
pounds in little over four months.
The featherweight of them all weighs
81 pounds, the heaviest plump 1877. and
they are the healthiest set of girls in
all New England. So much for cal
isthenics, athletics, physiology and
hygiene in the curriculum of higher ed
ueation, for Laselle speclalizes health
and avoirdupois even above Greek and
Latin.

RAILROADS AND THE MINES.

For some time past there has been
dispute between the Crur d'Alene
mines and the railroads in reference
to freight rates. The "Miner" has
the following resume of the situation:
ssThe shut down of the mines, which
became general yesterday, is the re-
suit of the universal policy of the
great railroad companies to- tax the
traffic every dollar it can stand. In
the case of the mines, it is possible
that they should stand the tax ex-
acted, but by doing it the mine
owners were giving the transporta-
ton companies large share of
their profits to which they were not
and which they did not demand
when the ore shipments were much
lighter. The Ceur d'Alenes are low
grade and to operate them success
fully it requires vast outlay of cap
ital and favorable transportation
facilities. Railroad companies are
not in the habit of fixing rates in
which they lose money--there is no
record of such an incident, barring
unav voidable circumstances. So
when ore was hauled from the Cour
d'Alenes to the smelters a wear ago
at $2 less per ton than at the present
time, it is safe to say that the rail-
road companies were doing business
at good profit. Why then, was -
ton added? In all other pursuits
the greater the volume of business,
the narrower the margin of profit
The output of the mines at Occur
d'Alene has steadily increased. New
concentrators have been built and
preparations made to largely in

keep in view and which the railroad
companies will be forced to take into
consideration before work is resum.
