have won her the degree of doctor Of
science from the University Of London,
a very unusual honor to be bestowed
upon woman.
Even while yet student Mrs. Cor
don gave promise Of the brilliant future
in store, capturing the gold medal and
several scholarships at the Ladies' col
lege Of Edinburgh and also at Heriot
college in the same city. Her native
Scotch town not providing sufficient op-
portunity for study. she went to Lon
don, and after passing the preliminary
South Kensington examinations entered
the scientific department of the London
university. The most successful victory
her industry Won at the university was
the gold medal offered for the best ex-
animation in zoology and comparative
anatomy. During recent years Mrs. Cor
don has devoted her time chiefly to the
study of paleontology, conducting orig
inal research at Munich university and
doing field work in the Alpine regions.
1t was there she met Dr.. John Gordon,
whom she recently married. Mrs Cor
don will not abandon her scientific pur-
suits.

partly due to the incongruity of associa-

The Color Question.

For two years the question of admit
ting Mrs. F. d. Williams, a refined and
educated woman, but mulatto, to
membership in the Chicago Woman Is
club has been under more or less heated
discussion. The club has been almost
disrupted over the matter, and it re-
mains to be seen, now that the friends
of Mrs. Williams have won and secured
her admission, whether the end has
come in the matter. The broad ground
finally adopted by the club was that
admission to the Woman's club should
not be on the ground of color, creed or
any line but that Of fitness and personal
character. New York Times.

New Woman Pastor In Boston,

The Rev. Ellen Van Anderson, who
was recently made pastor Of the new
Church Of the Higher Life in Boston,
was ordained without ever having pur-
sued course in theology. Her training
for her work was gained through her
connection with various transcendental
cults, of which the new church is the
outcome. The new woman pastor was
born III Iowa and is about 30 years old.
She is fair and fashionable, and an in
teresting episode Of her passionate was q
threat on the part of her followers that
unless she modified the gayety of her ut
tire serious offense would be taken.

Mrs.. Julia Fletcher Carney.

The familiar little poem entitled
Little Drops Of Water, Little Grains Of
Sand, was written by Mrs. Julia Fetch
er Carney, now residing in Holyoke,
Mass. Though 72 years old, Mrs. Car
ney is sprightly and full of vigor and is
the life and sunshine of the happy little
household over which she presides.
She was born in Lancaster April 6,
1928, and inherited patriotism of Major
Timothy Fletcher of Lancaster and Ma
jor Warren of Jay, Me. Mrs. Carney
says that she has no recollections of a
time when she did not express her
thoughts in verse. Her older brothers
and sisters were wont to write down her
infantile rhymes and jingles many years
before she learned to do it herself. Her
earliest sorrow was caused by the opin-
ion of maiden aunt, freely expressed
to her mother, that IF she let that child
go ON writing verses she would never
amount to anything" Naturally this
advice led to maternal injunction,
worded as such injunctions often are,
Never let me see any more of your
poetry" As it seemed impossible to obey
the spirit Of the command the child
obeyed the letter, and the next hons0
cleaning time revealed rolls of rhyme
hidden in every nook and corner of the
attic. Some of these were SO touching
and pathetic as to melt the heart of the
loving though anxious mother, and the
law was repealed.
When she was ii years old, her writ
ings began to be recognized outside of
the home, and it was not an infrequent
occurrence to have her poems printed in
the newspapers. The journalists Of Bos-
ton We're especially pleased with the
work. and they did everything in their
power to encourage her. When IL. she
went to Philadelphia, where her mar
ried sister resided. Two years later she
returned to her home in Boston. where
she served u summers apprenticeship in
the district school, attracting common
dation from the committee by keeping
formerly unruly school in good order
without corporal punishment. In 1914
she was elected teacher in one of the
primary schools in Boston, and it was
while serving in this capacity that she
wrote the poem which has made her IA
mous.-Boston Journal.
Woman d tho Old Era and the New.
The woman Of the old era was not
only unable to make her living If thrown
ON her own resources. but she actually
thought it disgrace to do 20. Her duty
in life was to be graceful. gentle, never
to think and to look upon man as her
master and god. We do not deny that
this old type Of womanhood had certain
beauties and even virtues the lack Of
which in woman today would be a mat
ter OF regret But its crime was that it
made woman plaything instead of a
thinking and resourceful human being.
and SO when the ridiculous serenadine
gallants died and were succeeded by the
less ornamental but incomparably more
useful men Of the present industrial age
the haplea. archaic woman a the eight

English Teachers' Wages.

A vigorous effort is being made to in
crease the wages Of teachers in the ma
tional schools of London, which CORE
spond to the public schools of the Unit
ed States. As there is some mysterious
lack of funds there is not much hope
that it will be accomplished. In the dis
cussion that has arisen the case Of one
woman was cited, and it was said to be
by no means unusual. She received ESQ,
not quite $3.50, per annum, out Of which
she had to clothe herself, pay her board
and examination fees. She lived on
bread and tea, and but for the charity
OF IA woman who was also poor, but who
gave her lodging at nominal cost, she
could not have lived at all. 1t was stat
ed that there We're many others in as
dire straits. Bread. tea and sugar are
about the only articles of food that are
cheap in England. Dress materials cost
almost as much as i'll the United States
and shoes being much dearer.
In England, as in the United States,
women teachers. who arc largely in the
majority, must be decently clothed, and
how this is achieved after the pittance
paid them it is difficult to understand.
There are very few who receive so much
as $500 per annum. In England. as else
where Ill the world, outrageously unjust
IN the matter of wages, the adequate pay
OF women is withheld by men in author
lty, although such discrimination does
not profit them personally. though it
does enable them to give higher wages
to members of their own COY
English women teachers, however,
are much farther removed from any
thing like an equitable division of sal
aries than are those in the United
States.-Chicago Inter Ocean.

We boast that our nation feeds the
world, but it does not by any means.
We import products to the amount of
S., 100000. There are brought in
more or less of all grains; many horses
and mules, eggs, cheese, butter and
condensed milk; potatoes by the thou
sands of bushels. Let us hope there
will be change some day.
So often the side branches of farm
work fail to pay because carried on
negligently. A dozen hives of bees
should bring the farmer as much reve-
nue. as a 10-acre wheat field. The re-
turn the care of his chickens would
bring is underrated, and even the
children are not trained to proper in
terest in them.
The relative value of timothy and
wild hay has not yet been thoroughly
investigated; but so far as experiments
have come under observation they
seem to be favorable to wild hay
against timothy. The other question,
as to which is the most profitable crop
for the farmer to grow, must be large
ly settled by the farmer himself. The
question of soil and location must be
considered.

TRADE REVIEW.

Indications of Definite Improvement in
Business.
New York. R. G. Dun Company's
weekly review of trade says:
Though business is still waiting,
there are some signs of deinited i'm
provement. 1t is now believed that
the first payment for bonds will cause
no further pressure, and the money
markets are easier in respect to loans
on collateral, though the difficulty of
making commercial loans still checks
operations. But large maturities at
the end of January have been met
more satisfactorily than was expected,
and merchants and bankers report that
the signs promise a good spring trade
No increase appears as yet in the de-
mand for the principal products, un-
less for some forms of iron and steel,
in which good contracts have been
made this week, and uncertainty as to
congressional action still affects the in
dustries and commerce, but the in
crease in inquiry and the reports of
dealers are deemed assurances of large
trade coming whenever the uncertainty
is over.
Signs of improvement in the iron
and steel business are gratifying, even
though they spring from combinations
which have raised the price of coke and
allotted the output of lake iron ore.
There is also a better demand for wire
nails, after long stagnation, and also
for sheets. Pig iron is weaker. South
ern works are competing sharply,
while speculative buyers of some
months ago are selling below present
furnace prices, but the average from
all products is practically unchanged,
and 11.4 per cent below the higest
figure last year. Coke production has
again been cut down 1O,975 tons in a
single week. Minor metals are
strengthened shade by speculation.
Sales of wool at the three chief mar
kets have diminished of late, manufac-
turers buying only for present needs.

SPEECH BY SALISBURY
Supports the Monroe Doctrine
as a Rule of Policy.
ENGLAND AND THE ARMENIANS
Reason Why Great Britain Has Not
Observation-Disclosures in Turkey
England Not Bound.

London, Feb. 3.-The banquet of
the Nonconformist Unionist Associa-
tion at the Hotel Metropole tonight
was the occasion of an address by the
Marquis of Salisbury, prime minister
and secretary of state for foreign
affairs. In the course of his remarks
he said, with reference to Venezuela:
81 have been held up as the de-
nouncer of the Monroe doctrine. As a
matter of fact, although the Monroe
doctrine is no part of international law,
my dispatch to Mr.. OIney, the secre-
tary of state of the United States, sup
ported it as a rule of policy in the
strongest and most distinct terms
'But when stated in that dispatch
and 1 reiterate it now-that, as a
rule of policy we are the advocates of
the Monroe doctrine, we mean the
Monroe doctrine as President Monroe
understood it. In that sense, you will
not find any more convinced supporters
than we are -
Lord Salisbury then turned abruptly
to the Armenian question, and he re-
preached the religious communities
with laboring under a mistake when
they supposed that England had bound
herself in honor to succor the Armeni-
ans, which means to go to war with
the sultan in order to force him to
govern the Armenians well. The Ber-
lin treaty, Lord Salisbury said, merely
bound the signatory powers that, if the
sultan promulgated certain reforms,
they would watch over the execution
of those reforms. Nothing more. He
did not think any one could interpret
that as an understanding to go to war.
am not bound to answer the ques-
tion why Europe does not interfere. 1
say confidently that none of the powers
wished to interfere, and believe their
view is that, with patience, the sui
tan's prestige, which is the only power
left in the country, will ultimately re-
establish order and allow commerce and
industry to take their usual secure
course. That is their view, and it is
our duty to give the sultan time. It
is not for me to pass Judgment on that
view, but no other remedy has been
suggested. 1t is some encouragement
to fad that already some degree of Or
der is being restored.
i If you do not act with the great
pewerss you must act against theu and
produce calamities far more awful and
terrible than the Armenian atrocities. "
In conclusion, Lord Salisbury refer
red to the recent patriotic demonstra-
tions in the colonies in the face of
threatened foreign complications, and
said:
care not how much we are iso-
lated if we are united. An example
has been set which will shed beneficent
light on the last generations of Eng
land
