AN ENGLISH OPINION.
American Women Snarled at by a LOn-
don Newspaper.


don Newspaper.
From a London paper: The Ameri-
ian woman must surely be the Valnest
creature that struts about the earth.
Compared to her Yum Yum, in the
'Mikado," admiring herself in her mir
or and congratulating herself on being
he most beautiful woman in all the
world, is modest. She at least, utters
her conviction only to herself, whereas
the lady from Chicago, ILL.,, or Cicero
Vile, Me-, goes up on the housetops and
publishes hers abroad to all who care
to listen. Nay, she screams so loud
that we are compelled to listen whether
we will or no. But, having given ear
to her appreciation of her own charms,
we go away and think over what we
have heard. Then, after due considera-
ton, we go forth in spirit and, finding
an imaginary American woman of the
sort which writes to the newspapers,
we take her gently by the unsubstan-
tial hand Of hers and address her-po-
litely, we hope, but above all firmly.
Dearest madam" we say, you are not
badlooking, and it must be confessed
you have gone to one of the best mod
istes in Paris for your clothes. But
you are not lady-the word is out OF
fashion, but the thing never Island it
is to be feared that nothing could make
you one. You are absolutely self-satis-
fed and you show it every minute Of
your life, or, as you would say, all the
time You are quite without charm Of
manner, yet you think that all men
worship you. Your education has been
Of the sort that our board schools give
our cOachmen's children at our expense.
Your own comfort is the one thing you
think of-and here is piece of comfort
for you. So long as you cover yourself
with diamonds in the morning; SO long
as your voice can be heard from one
end of the Rue de la PaiX to the other;
so long as your one topic of converse
ton is your frock and what you gave
for it; so long as you sit about in the
public rooms of q hotel in a gown in
which you might go to court; so long as
you are not afraid to state en- plein table
d'hote that the room was not stuffy and
the women smelt that strong you'd
have been sick right there; SO long as
you do all or any of these things, be-
lieve me, you need have no fear of being
taken for the only kind of English wo-
man worth considering"

some doubt as to whether 1t contained
black gas, and bystander suggested that

match and touched it to the cylinder, and
the explosion at once followed, wrecking
the scenery and tearing out two windows

for many blocks in every direction, and
in a few moments hundreds of people had

by blackened and injured men running
frantica1ly out on the awnings and to drug

A NORTH POLE BABY
CHILD FIRST SEES THE
LIGHT ON HERsCHEL ISLAND.
Great To-Do Among the Whalers at
the Birth OF Mrs. sherman's Baby
within the Arctic Circle.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct S-An American
baby has been born on Herschel island, as
close to the north pole as San Francisco
Is to Mazatlan. 1t would be an item worth
mentioning II the baby was born of ma
tive parents in such far north part of
the world. 1t is, however, a white baby. its
mother being the wife of Captain A C.
Sherman of the steam whaler Beluga- In
all likelihood baby never saw the light
Of day on the Herschel island before.
1t Is q barren spot In the Arctic ocean.
The island lies north OF the boundary line
being the extreme northern portion of
Alaska and the extreme northern portion of
British North America. If 1t were possible
to follow an air line from Sitka to Herschel
island the traveller would have to journey
1,500 miles straight north before he could
SEQ the bold head lines of Herschel island
The story of the birth of this northermost
of American babies was brought here by
Captain Mason, of the steam tender Jeanie.
1t seems that Captain Sherman and his
wife had passed one winter at Herschel ISL
la4 and Mrs. Sherman was quite used
to the midnight sun of the summers and
the long darkness of the winter as we'll.
There was a great to-do about the birth
Of the baby. There were four women at
Herschel island to idolize the little one
They were the wives of whaling captains
The whalers, most OF whom had been
away from home for more than eighteen
months when the baby was born, were
greatly interested in the event and sent
many presents to the happy mother.
There happened to be a clergyman of
the Church of England at the camp He
had been sent to that odd corner of the
globe as a missionary, his name being
Rev. Mr.. Stringer. With all the formality
that was possible in barren island he
chr1stened the child Henel Herschel Sher-
man. The baby has taken very kindly to
the mild, but perpetual daylight of the
summer at Herschel island and bids fair
to thrive there through the long dull win
ter months Its playthings are made from
pieces Of wreckage by ships carpenter.
