THE SCANDINAVIAN GIRL.

She Is Changing with the Rest OF
Humanity and Becoming Modernized.
At time when all ideals are rapidly
changing it Is difficult to furnish even
an approximate description which
will not be challenged says the North
American Review. The kind Of ideal
wife of whom Morse youths dreamed
twenty years ago, whom the poets sung
and the painters painted is now re-
ported TO he in the process OF eXtlnc-
ton; and the new species OF femininity
which is said to be taking her place
would feel insulted by being associated
with the term ideal. A Norwegian

years ago was guest in my house.

In various parts of the worid-in New
Guinea and in certain parts of South
natives live in houses built upon piles
OF wood driven into the bed of the
lakes. They use this kind Of q dwell
ing either for safety's sake, since they
cannot be attacked without due knowl-
edge. or because. the country being
marshy. dry land is not easily to b. had
for building purposes. II is curious
that our remote forefathers in this say
age state-beforc even the records Of
history began-built unto themselves
similar houses. In their case it was
doubtless defense against enemies that
led TO the construction of such dwell

We modern Christians are willing to

trouble with our nominal Christianity
is that 1t Is too Gender to be touched.
too holy to be handled, too nice to be

for decent people, too cultured for COM

To Cook Cabbage without odor.

Many housekeepers decline to have
cabbage cooked in their kitchens be-
cause of the disagreeable odor with
which the vegetable fills the house. II
the servant would but obey the fol-
lowing directions this objection would
be reduced to a minimum. In the first
place the saucepan should be the larg-
est the menage affords, and must con-
tain enough water TO entirely cover the
cabbage This saucepan must be placed
on the hottest part OF the range and
the water be at a galloping boil be-
fore the cabbage is put in. and must
be kept at a boil until the vegetable
Is done. Last of all the lid must MOI
be pu: on the saucepan during th'
whole process of cooking.

AN OLD POLICE CHIEF.
Captain Hickey OF Chicago Is a Battle.
Scared Veteran.

Chicago has n large number OF ex-
police chiefs. but none is so proud OF
having served the people in that capa-
city as Capt. Michael Carroll Hickey.
a portrait of whom is here presented.
Capt. Hickey was chief of police OF chi
cage during the most stirring period OF
her history. from 1870 to 1880. During
the great fire which left the city in an
ash heap he did heroic work in main
tanning order. The army OF crooks who
swarmed to the smoldering ruins from
every quarter of the country in search
Of plumber found themselves barred by
a dead line which the farseeing
chief erected IS measure OF protec-
ton to the sufferers. He saw that the
relief donations were eQuitably u.s.
tributed among those rendered home
less. and in other ways contributed 10
the great work in hand. In 1870. when
Chicago was invaded by another calam-
ity-the railroad riots-hc proved him
self equal to the occasion. He quickly
saw that an army of the worst crooks
in the country were taking advantage
of the strike by creating riot and pill
lage, and led the entire police force

French Academy's New President.

Another "aristOcrat" has been chosen
president Of the French Academy. The
lineage of the new officer-the Due de

Victor Albert--would excite the social
lists OF Paris to gibcs and jeers and out
breaks in print were 1t not for his emil

tor, Due de Broglie. one OF the states
men who attained high h0nors In the
first half OF the century. The new
president himself had wide reputation
as q publicist as early as the '40s. when
he was one of the editors of the Cor
respondent. In his writings and
speeches he defended Roman Catholic
interests and the doctrines of moderate
constitutional liberalism. He was Sec
rotary Of the French embassy at Ma
