The question has been going the rounds
of the press, says the New Orleans Plea

the contrast is between the girl of to-day
apd the old idea of woman as helpless,
fragile crea ture; and the notion that oncs
held ground that health, strength, a good
appetite and the capacity 10 bear fatigue
were unwomanfy, and among the many
pleasant prerogatives of the other sex,
has been signally overthrown by
the woman of to-day than even
the other ancient standing idea of their
sex's hopeless intellectual inferiority.
Good old DR.. Gregory, in the last cen

Among much sound advice, he gives
utterance to this unsound doctrine that
they should carefully conceal the posses

their strength and capacity to bear
fatigue in the presence of men, for if they
were thought to be strong physically, I'VE

that good health and strength of

up the woman's end of the log of life with
out murmuring at hardship and without

A CORPORATION composed entirely
of Chicago philanthropists and lovers
of their felloW-men is seeking char
ter at Springfield which shall permit
the company to insure people against
marriage. When any insured person
falls into matrimony the idea is that
he shall get 81, 900 to, as it were, as
suage him and help him bear with his
lot. The Secretary of State will not
issue the charter because he is under
the impression that work of this sort
is immoral and opposed to public pol
icy, but here the Chicago Mail thinks
the Secretary of State is certainly
wrong. The inevitability Of marriage
will be conceded by all students Of
humanity. 1t is as sure almost as
death, and great deal more certain
than embezzlement, which is insur-
able. Every man runs a greater risk
of being married than he does of al
most every other catastrophe which
the companies will insure him
against, with the connivance of the
State of Illinois. Statistics show
that IS per cent. of the male popula
tion between the ages of 20 and 80 is
welded in the next ten years, and
bachelors between 80 and SO have
even a much smaller expectation of
bachelorhood. Just why the COM
pany which proposes to alleviate and
to soften the inevitable should not
be permitted to do business is incom-
prehensible. 1t seems to fill long
felt want.

THE retirement of the Princess

THE retirement of the Princess Of
Wales from society and state func-
tious has occasioned a great deal of
stir in European royal circles. If the
reports can be trusted the matter is
much more serious than at first be-
lieved. She is said to be woefully
unhinged mentally. One of her de-
lusions is that her son Clarence is
still alive and that they are eping
him from her. Two physicians are
in constant attendance upon her.
The malady is not of recent origin.
although it was fastened no doubt by
the death OF her eldest son and the
trouble that resulted from the sUbse-
Quent marriage of Princess Mary of
Teck to the Duke of York. Four or
five years ago her mental eccentric-
ties first manifested themselves. It
only served to teach anew that hap
piness is not confined to the rich and
the great nor suffering to the poor
and humble. She is in her f1ftieth
year and has always been reputed one
of the most beautiful and gracious
women of Europe. She is the daugfl-
ter of the King of Denmark. The
royal families of Europe are honey
combed with insanity, and if all the
royal lunatics could be gathered in
one room, it would have to be pretty
large one to hold them. Royalty is
played out. It is in its scar and yell
low leaf For the Prince of Wales,
who is still waiting for the day when
he shall ascend the throne, the deep

THE government of Manitoba has

EUROPE again stands face to face
with the big war which it has been
going to fight half a dozen times a
year since the early seventies. If
the opposing powers have any idea of
cutting loose in the near future they
could not please this country better
than by unleashing the dogs of war
about this time. We can furnish
them with food, fodder, clothing and
other essentials at good rates and
speedy delivery. If Europe would
only have the big wind-up that seems
inevitable. the compact for inter
national arbitration could be a good
deal more easily brought about.

THE attempt to ship turkeys in re-
frigerator cars to California for the
Christmas and New Years holidays
proved failure. The fowls were
frozen and appeared all right when
received, but on being thawed out
they developed decided faint, and
were promptly condemned by the
local authorities as unfit for food
The shipment of frozen meat OF any
kind for long distances is a difficult
matter, and especially so for fowls,
whose bones are hollow and filed
with air. 1t is probable that no de-
gree Of freezing will bring this con-
fined air down to the freezing point.
Hence all the time it is in transit
the flesh nearest these hollow bones
must be below freezing point, and Of
course subject to injurious changes.

ONE of the most common expedi-

before the official decision of his case.
