.NEW BUT Nor WHOLLY FREE.

Goodness knows that the New Woman
of this country has much to be proud
of. She is queen of all she surveys.
Her right there is none (of any accounD
to dispute. From the center all round
to the sea she Is boss of the fowl and
the Ibrute-brute, of course, meaning
the Old Man. But while she is pranc-
ing about with her lofty head knocking
against the stars we would hunnbly cali
her attention to the fact that though
she is New enough and glorious enough
she can't hold candlestick to the wo-
man Of far-off, heather Burmah. A
writer in Blackwood has that to say
of the woman of Burmah that Is cal
culated to make her envied and even
hated by the New Woman of this coun-
| try. 1t appears that all careers are
freely open to Woman in Burmah, that
pursue it with freedom. She inherits
her share of the family property, and
holds it as her own after marriage,
her husband having no control over it
nor any legal control over her, a con-
dition not found incompatible with do
nestle harmony. In fact, it rather pro-
notes it, taking most of the conceit out

shop-keeper and trader, but that does

BALLOONS FOR USE IN VAR.

The European and the American Methods
of OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Glassfords En-
thusiasm as to the Employment of Air
Ships in War-ship Now Building for Ex-
periments In the West.
TFrom the Chicago Daily Tribune.1
Denver, June 26.-The balloon corps of
the country is centred here for the pur-
pose of producing a new war balloon
that will withstand the strain of a dry
climate and be more tractable than
the old General Meyer. At the present
time the war department is without an
available balloon capable of ascending
to height whence observation could be
taken of the Notifications of an enemy,
and the want is felt severely al Fort Lo-
gan, where there are several members of
the United States signal corps detailed
for instruction. Since their arrival and
beginning of practice the aeronauts have
had a hard time, and their difficulties
are only beginning. Ready to face the
perils Of the unknown upper atmos-
phere, their courage could not be ques-
toned, but when it came to the unusual
task of of operating sewing machine
and taking their turns at the needle,
there was not man among them that
did not shrink from the test. The duty
is not regarded as strictly within the
purview of the signal corps, but the
circumstances are such that it was
deemed the only way in which the army
could be supplied with a safe and stable
balloon. Balloon making is an infant
industry that does not thrive in the
present day, and after the wrecking of
several air ships the department con-
cluded that the only way to secure sat
isfactory service was to buckle down
to the dressmaking business and show
the government at Washington what

of the army viii have the benefit of the

''We both would fight or lie for him, {"
Mr.. Hildreth said lightly. Then, seeing
that Aliens eyes were still full Of hor-
ron: what is up, Mr.. FauntleFoy? Has
murder been done?"
''No. Only plotted, and ann come to
you for help in thwarting the assassins, +"
Allen said very low.
''Who are theyF' asked Vance. Allen
answered in whisper.
For an hour the three men talked ea-
gerly together, arguing, suggesting, plan

went away, Hildreth said, drawing q
deep breath:

He is really monomaniac, " Vance
said, lighting a cigar. "He has been
money crazy ever since he first sat at a
desk in the other Allen Fauntleroy's Of

those poor hill folk listen to him when
he tells them that Major Overton is their
enemy, the only thing that stands be-
