European Idea of Our Women. rFrnm HnrnAr.,s Rnznr1

We all know what England and other
 countries of the world think of the American girl, who has been publicly
 described, discussed, analysed unceas- ingly over there for the last few years What the transatlantic opinion is of our
 women generally has not been so free ly divulged, and is not, therefore, famil- far. But educated Europeans, notably Britons, Frenchmen, Germans. Italians, whether they have travelled here, or observed our wandering sisters abroad,
 make no secret of their views; are in- clined, indeed, to seize occasion to en- tighten us on the subject.
 Their concurrent testimony is that our women are spoiled-spoiled by the constant fiattery, indulgence, and hom- age e. all their masculine kindred, as- soeh.tes and aoqaintances. They dep recate the concessions continually made to them, the special favor always shown them, the anxiety displayed to concil- late them. Our friends across the wa ter say that they are treated as su- perior beings; that what we call our appreciation of them is little less than worship; that 1t injures us as well as them; that 1t will, in time, injure both irreparably. They are in dead earnest, and seem to be deeply troubled that we do not establish a much-needed re- form.
 Europeans base the idea of our treat ment of our women on their treatment of their women. Between the New World and the Old World there Is, in this respect, a marked difference cer- tainly. Their view Is one of compari- son. If they are right, we must be wrong We are entirely conscious of the great consideration we give wo- men, of the deference we pay them. We do not regard ourselves as in excess, but Europeans are deficient in this re- gard. They should initiate our exam pie, we hold, not we theirs, which, to our mind, would be retrogressive. We are pained, when abroad, at the degra- dation of the sex in the rural regions; at their lack of education and oppor- tunity; at the manner in which they are kept down. The Old World seems to consider women inferior; it's conduct toward them indicates this; and many foreigners avow it. and insist on it, We put women on our level, and do the best we can to make them comfortable, and contented.

THE THERArOPHONE.
Used for Finding the Temperature of the
 Deep Sea and the Upper Air.

Used for Finding the Temperature of the Deep Sea and the Upper Air.
 From the Boston Evening TranscriptJ Out in the pleasant laboratory at the Chestnut Hill reservoir is little in-
 strument which seems likely to revolu- tionize the taking of temperature in places where such work has hitherto been considered necessarily inaccurate
 or altogether impossible. With It's aid
 the operator can stand comfortably on
 the deck of ship or on the bank of
 stream and yet read within small fraction of a degree the temperature of the water far below him. The in- strument has already been for some time in use in connection with the work of its inventors, Henry c. Warren and George 0. Whipple, the latter being the biologist in charge at the laboratory of the Boston water works, and has re- gently been giving the most satisfac- tory results It has just been patent ed in the United States and in foreign countries, and as it is not only simpler in construction but less expensive than the few devices that have heretofore aimed to do part of its work, 1t seems likely to be put to a variety of practical uses, besides being exceptionally valu- able to scientific experimenters.
 For all work like taking deep sea temperatures at different levels the in- strument operates like this: A coil of metal tubing about three-eighths of an inch in diameter and containing two minute coils of copper and German

The Athletic Side of woman's Bicycling.
 From Harper's Bazarl

The sAthIetic Side of woman's Bicycling From Harper's Bazar.l
 In the first place, 1t ought to be a law for every woman that she should never ride bicycle after a distinct | feeling of weariness comes over her
 For those who are beginning, especially
 and in q measure for all women, there
 Is a danger of riding out certain dis
 tance, and only turning towards home when this feeling of wearlness comes on. In such cases the strain on the
 nervous system all the way home is very great, and by the time the end of the journey is reached--for 1t has be-
 come journey by this time-the rider
 is exhausted to such an extent that a
 severe headache or some more serious
 indisposltion is the result. There is no
 other reason for this than the fact that
 she did not perscribe for herself cer-
 tain distance before starting out, which
 was not to be exceeded under any
 circumstances. No ordinary woman
 who tides for pleasure once or twice week should do over about ten
 miles at a time. This is perhaps an
 hours ride, that be easily extended to an hour and a quarter before that dis tance is covered; and if she does not feel fresh and in glow when she stops, she may be certain that she has ridden too long. Naturally there is that healthy tired feeling which any one recognizes after athletic exercises, but 1t is quite different from and never to be mistaken for the weariness which comes from too much exertion and straining of the nerves and muscles. Very few women have ever been in- jured on a bicycle who kept to this rule, and limited their riding to normal distances.
 The limit of distance, which Is desig- mated by the first feeling of weariness, Is only little more important than the limit of speed which the female healthy exercising rules. Whether a man can ride at full speed for long distance and still retain his good health is a doubtful question, but it does not particularly concern us in the present discussion It Is quite certain, however, that no woman can keep up a high rate of speed for even gener- ous portion of a mile and not create the beginning of injuries. The added required to increase your speed even 9l little after a certain of power has been expended is out of all proportion to the result There is no relaxation of the muscles between revolutions of the pedals, nor any let-up on the nervous and muscular strain while the speed lasts. The heart Is far more taxed than one realizes at the moment, and that species of ting ling or numbness in the nerves and

l There is high old time in San Fran. | cisco over the coming Fourth of July | and there are some lessons in it foI other communities. For instance, II
 has been decided that not only is the Star Spangled Banner good enough to wave over the public celebrations of the day, but it is the only flag that is
 good enough. So foreign flags will not
 detract attention from the flag of the
 free in San Francisco on the Fourth of
 July or wave in the same wind Which
 is all right, and just right
 But the attitude of the labor unions of
 San Francisco towards the Fourth of
 July is neither right. patriotic nor wise.
 There are sixty-two such unions and
 from present appearances. not one of
 them will accept the invitation of the
 executive committee to parade on the
 national holiday. Several of the unions
 have formally voted not to do so. The reasons given for this attitude are pe- culiar. The secretary of the Coast Sea
 mems union says that many in his union are in need of clothes, and do not care to parade their poverty. The president of the Bakers union objects to parading because he states that the ex- ecutive committee has given out the contract for music to the lowest bid der! The president of the Iron Mould CTS says that his union will not parade because "the people at the head of the celebration are not in sympathy with
 2ie iron moulders" The president of the Carpenters and Joiners' union told a reporter that the capitalists who are heading this celebration are all very willing to let us march with them one day in the year and be hostile to us the other three hundred and sixty-four days" The Call having addressed some honeyed words to the union peo- pie, the Argonaut indignantly replies: i've do not think the men who com pose these trades unions have any of the blood in their veins of those who won American independence' We do not believe that the men of these trades unions formed the bulk of the armies which prevented a disruption of the Union Nor do we believe that the men in these trades unions have numeri- cal strength to overturn the govern ment should they organize and deter mine to that end We think that the bulk of the men in these trades unions are not Americans, but ignorant and egotistic foreigners, who have become SO swollen up with the liberty accorded | them here-a liberty to which they were utterly unused in the countries from | which they came-that they deem | free, in times of strikes, not l only to break the laws of the country l which gives them asylum, but in times | if national rejoicing to insult that coun- try and her native-born citizens by boy | ,otting the national holiday"
 These are words fitly spoken. The la- DOT unions of San Francisco are in yery poor and futile business when they | ny to snub the Fourth of July.

 This danger of acquiring too much speed Is natural enough The bicycle runs so easily on smooth asphalt or maoadam that 1t is a strong temptation to "soorch"-indeed, 1t is so strong a temptation that as soon as a girl has fairly learned to ride easily she has to put deliberate check on herself to avoid dropping into it.

The twenty female school teachers appointed few days ago to teach in the West Chester, Pennsylvania, public schools during the ensuing year were required to sign an agreement not to get married during the year for which they were appointed. There is no rule against counting, provided it is done out of school hours. The board says it is by no means opposed to matrimony but that it has found such an agree ment necessary in order to prevent breaks in the corps of teachers at in- convenient times.

Times have changed. At Rome the other day an enormous crowd assembled in the square of St. Peter's to watch two women dressed in black who crept across the square to the church doors on their knees, brushing the ground with small brushes and repeatedly kissing the stones they had cleaned One was Hungarian, the other a Spaniard. It was found that they were afflicted with religious monomania, and they will be sent back to their own countries.

Business is surely picking up. The Chicago Tribune presents a list of 250 firms and companies which have ad- vanced wages during the past few weeks. Not less than 250,0O0 men have been affected, and the advance will aver age nearly 12 per cent. Almost without an exception the wages have been ad- yanced voluntarily. The total number of workers who succeeded and partial ly succeeded in winning an increase in pay in the great strikes of 1886 was only 6 few thousand larger than this vast company of men who have received more pay without asking for it.

Speaking of Senator Quay's methods of making friends in politics, 1t is said that when he hears of a youngster of ability and pluck who wants to make the race for legislature or congress, or even country office, and who is ham pered by lack of funds, Guay takes him up and supplies him with $500 or $1OOO or $2,00O, according to the requirements ,of the cases. If that man rises, as he does in nine cases out of ten, for Quay has an almost unerring instinct all his power is thrown in with the Quay following. By such methods as these he has planted his stakes in every coun- ty in Pennsylvania.

A NEW terror is arising in the f.

the great money centers are getting
scared at the wonderful increase of
gold production. South Africa is
now turning the yellow stuff out at
the rate of 100000 a week, and it
is estimated that the worlds produc.

year. Mr.. Cleveland may be trusted

There is an idea prevalent that the
Government has some kind of right
TO say how much money shall be

thing else must be regulated by sup.

that it will produce cheap wheat; OF

SENATOR LODGE has been telling
our British cousins some unpalatable
truths in regard to the Monroe doc
triue. He says the people mean to
enforce that doctrine, and he predicts
that Congress at the coming session
will pass joint resolution to that ef-
feet. 1t is not probable that there is
any member of Congress who will op.
pose such a resolution. There are
some Anglomaniacs in newspaper of.
fees who think it smart to initiate
London journals and sneeer at the
Monroe doctrine, but those men nc
more represent American opinion
than do criminals like Holmes and
Durrant represent American moral
ity. The British public cannot toe
soon become aware Of that fact. Sen
ator Lodge has done well in unde
ceiving them, so far as he has beer
able 10 do so.
