WOMEN OF THE NORTH.

In my student days we used to sing
with immense enthusiasm the song, 1.-THE
Women of the North which among
other exploded commonplacers, declared
that 1.-THE lily resembles the bride of thy
heart, the fair. Northern maiden;'' and
that "she stands unaltered, exhaling her
tall ~fragance: she is the blossom of bios
sons" Though this standard comparison
with the lily has been repudiated as mis-
leading and uncomplimentary, it has not
yet lost and never can quite lose its
application. For the quality which the
man demands the woman is bound to
supply. or feign their possession, under
penalty of celibacy. And Scandinavian
man does not differ essentially from the
male of civilized races in demanding of
his wife all the standard copybook vir-
tues. He looks to her primarily to up
hold the dignity of his house; to give,
by her presence and manner, a certain
eclat to his hospitality; to make his do
nestle machinery run as smoothly, noise
lessly, and economically as circumstances
will permit. He associates with his vision
grows more pronounced with the years,
as the children gather about her knees.
Though the girl be ever so coy and sub
missive to her lover'Swishes, he knows
young wife to develop, through the ex
periences of wifehood and motherhood
a personality which must not only win
love, but also command respect. As his
true comrade and faithful friend she
and bears with him The brunt Of the
hard battle of life.-Nprth American Re

A GRIsLY WITNESS.
Human Skeleton Produced in Court
During Miss Pages Suit.

An interesting feature in the s25, 900
damage suit brought by Mss Mary E.
Page against the Consolidated Traction
Company. was the production yesterday
in the trial before Judge Lippincott of
a human skeleton. 1t was brought into
court by the defense. The physicians
who attended Miss Page were required
to illustrate to the jury by means of
the skeleton the exact nature of the
injuries sustained by Miss Page.
The testimony for the plaintiff was
finished yesterday by the evidence of
Drs. Joseph Culver, DR.. John j.. Culver
and DR.. Searles. The latter was called
by the defense. He was of the opinion
that Mss Pages injuries were trivial
and thai she was not as badly injured
as she claimed. The trial will be re-
sllmed ON Monday.

FOUND DEAD ON THE TRACK.
Young Lawyer Kilied by an Elevated
Train While Intoxicated.

NEW YORK, Oct. II, 1S95.-Fredcrick K.
Kelham, a young lawyer, was found
dead at $50 O'Clock this morning on the
elevated railroad track about l30 feet
west of the station at Eighth avenue
and Fifty-third street. There were no
indications that the unfortunate man
had been run over, although it is be-
lieved that he must have been killed by
a train. The identity of the man was
revealed by papers found on his person
The body was not mangled, but the
clothing was torn and the chin was
crushed as if it had been dealt a heavy
blow.
The police and elevated officials believe
that Kelham must have fallen from the
station platform and was dragged along
the track by a train to the spot where
he was found. Whether he was killed
by a fall or by a train had not yet
been determined.
William Kennedy, IN intimate friend
of Kelham, who has apartments corner
of Broadway and Fifty-third street, said
that he and the dead lawyer were to-
gether drinking until nearly one O'Clock
this morning in a saloon at the corner
of Broadway and Fifty-third street.
. They parted company, he said, in
front of the saloon, and Kelham
walked through Fifty-third street, osten-
sibly to board an elevated train ait the
Eighth avenu station, to return to his
home. The young lawyer, according to
the statement of Kennedy, was then in
toyicated. but was capable of being
more drunk thai he was and still be
able to take care of himself.
Kennedy said that the unfortunate
young man came originally from Boston
and has been in New York only two
years. He lived at No. 100 West Nine
ty-sacond street with his widowed
mother and a brother. He was a
graduate of Harvard College and took a
course in law at Columbia College.
The police made no arrests in the case,
and attribute the accident to Kelham
having been intoxicated.
