Blocks of Milk.

Irkutsk is a city in central Siberia where
people have more occasion for fire and furs
than for artificial ice cream or thin cloth
ing.
The markets of Irkutsk are an interest
ing sight in the winter time, for every
thing on sale is frozen solid. Fish are piled
up in stacks like so much cordwood, and
meat likewise. All kinds of fowls are sim
ilarly frozen and piled up.
Some animals brought into the market
whole are propped up ON their legs and
have the appearance of being actually alive,
and as you go through the markets you
seem to be surrounded by living pigs,
sheep, oxen and fowls standing up and
watching you as though you were a visitor
to the barnyard.
But stranger still, even the liquids are
frozen solid and sold in blocks Milk is
frozen into block in this way, with a
string or stick frozen into or projecting
from it, This is for the convenience of the
purchaser, who can take his milk by the
string or stick and carry it home, swung
across the shoulder.
So in IA double sense, such as is unknown
in other countries, "A man can buy his
drink with IA stick in it. boston Tray

An Imposing Statue to the Pioneer OF
American Women Educators.

American Women Educators.
The statue of Emma Willard, recently
unveiled at Troy, n. Y, is said to be the
first truly imposing statue of "a woman to

sculptor Alexander Doyle and is of heroic
size. 1t represents Mrs. Willard at the age
of 10, is cast in bronze and supported by a
granite pedestal and was erected by her pu-
pills and friends. Mrs. Russell Sage was
one of her early pupils, and Russell Sage
hall, one of the seminary's new buildinzs
was built by the famous fnancier at Mrs.
Sage's suggestion.
Emma Hart Willard was a pioneer in
the cause of higher education for women.
She was born in Berlin, Conn, Feb. %,
1871, and after life of great usefulness
covering SO years died in Troy in 1870.
She was educated in Hartford, and ut the
early age of Is years began her career as a
teacher. She was soon in great demand,
and in 1907 three different states were
clamoring for her services She took
charge of an academy for girls in Middle
bury, VT, and two years later became the
wife of DR.. John Willard, then United
States mars | of Vermont.
The need better educational facilities
for her sex used her to plan a school OF
her own, ant. in 1914 she opened a bOard-
ing school for young women, broaden
the scope of the work and published a.
address outlining "plan for improving
female education" The plan received the

a soft, gray day, brt the rain fell not,
Though it seemed on the point of falling,
And in tn orchard over the hedge
A bluebird was chcerily calling.
NO faintcst pink of blossom showed
On peach boughs, glossy and slender;
No clustered leaves were pushing up
OF pansies fragrant and tondcr
Twas just the time when the winter gray
Far over the line was ileeting,
And to the spring that vas almost here
The bluebrd offered greeting.
j knew tomorrow the rain might fail
And freeze while it DESCENDED,
And maybe furry Of snow might cume
When the bluebird's carol was endet,.
But never mind, the sun would shoot
His arrows strashtway through it,
For the spring was donning her flower crown
And the merry blucbird knew it.

a painter of genre pictures suggested by
