Miss E1len Kex.

Miss Ellen Key, Swedish lady, has attracted much attention in her native land by her efforts to ameliorate the con dition of workingmen. Jointly with Dr. Anton Nystrom, she founded tho Work ingmen's institute of Sweden, which now owlsa a handsome building in Stock holm and branch establishments in all Che provincial towns. It has courses of lectures by the most distinguished liter- ary and scientific authorities of tho country, on historical, philosophical, scientific and literary subjects, adapted to tho comprehension of laboring men, who attend in large numbers.
 Swedish literature is the topic treated by Miss Key, who, tn addition to. her philanthropio labors, has done literary work, publishing books, chiefly on sooi- ological themes. One is biography of Anne Charlotte Lefller, duchess of Gaia- hello, who is widely known through her sketch of the life of Sophie Kovaloysky. Miss Key is q sort of lay oonfessor of the working classes, who come in crowds every Sunday to her modest lodging to consult her on every possible question, from family tiffs to controversies about wages. She is believer in socialism for Sweden. but only as Q transitional means to larger ends. She desires the enfranchisement of women. Woman s Journal.

Don't Hfnale Che Throat.

While connoisseurs of feminine beau ty ravo over the perfection of a swanlike throat. the fact remains that many ex- tremely beautiful women have extreme ly short neoks, to which no amount of caro oan add an inch. But whether a woman's throat is swanlike or other wise matters but little in these days of chill winds. The possessors of all sorts of neoks arc confronted with the neces- sity of protecting themselves against colds or personal discomfort. Many arc tempted to nufle up their throats in the becoming furs that make almost any face distingue, but the best advice that could be given to the ones who want lovely threats is-don't. 2. 2.
 The neck, like the face, thrives best under Mother Nature's care, and high collars, feather boas and fur collars can- not heip but create tenderness that is disastrous 10 beauty.
 T sBGs tke58 things are fashionable just nov, aad after all it is worth some sac rifiaa Co ba inst in style, and the only thing to do until the low collars como i.l aGain is totake such care of the throat that almost no damage will be done In the first place, the neck should never be washed in warm water without dash of cold, pure water to follow it. and on general principles the cold bath is de- cidedly the best
 Again, it will be found that gentle massage of tho upper chest and the neck before retiring will be followed by a toning up of lax muscles and general improvement in the curves of the throat. When high collars are worn. if they are largo enough to allow freedom of move meat, the chances are that the skin un- dor them will keep soft and healthy, and if. when the fur collar or boa is taken off the tissues are found to be moist and overloaded, thorough rub bing with soft towel is kept up for a few minutes the reaction will restore the weakened muscles.

The Woman Drummer.

"No, I wouldn't advise any young woman to take up the profession of drummer, although I have followed it with some success for the past seven years, said Miss May Gerson. a bright little lady who travels for big Oleve- land firm, to reporter at the Metro polit8n.

Miss Katherine L.

cept in 9 limited degree and in favored

localities?
 The effect is that the dominant sex Is often unwittingly unjust to the sub. selvieata class and 6verlooks it's needs not understanding them. The sex dom mated either submits hopelessly to in- justice, seeks to win it's way by finesse. clerishes bitter but repressed sort of in- subo9dination or openly seeks to change existing conditions. Any oneof the first three methods is degrading to the self respect and dignity of woman, while the last puts her i'll a position of seeming antagonism to the sex with whom she should be in accord. As homo makers and keepers, as largely tho trainers of the youth of the land in mental. moral and physical development, as wage eafners, taxpayers, actors on nearly ev- cry stage occupied by men, have women no responsibility in the upbuitdina and evolution of this republicP Do they owe no duty to themselves and it? Their present position is most degrading. The mothers and daughters of the nation are political nonentities, peers only of the mentally unsound. corrupt and aliens. Does Ehis ennoble the raee2 No. A race cannot rise to it's full stature until moth erhood and fatherheod arc equally hon. ored, and republic of the people can never be so in fact until both sexes have full expression at it's ballot box. Woman needs to feel her share of the responsi- bilities Of citizenship, and tho republic needs her power. "--New York Tribune.

Women Coal Miners.

In England number of young wom- on are regularly employed in coal mines and are perfectly satisfactory in their work. They do not go down into the deep shafts, but work at the months of the pits and shovel coal as easily as men. They receive 28 cents a day. They wear heavy trousers made in kniokerbocker style, blouses and short, heavy skirts turned up like the washerwoman over skirts of the past.

Palmer P. Woods, the genial man
ages OF Puuhue ranch, was an in
voluntary guest in the capital during
New Year. Palmer was at Kawaihae
on business and took the Lehua for
Mahukona so as to be able to spend
New Years Day at home. The
weather prevented the Lehua from
landing him at Mahukona and nolens
yolens he was carried TO Honolulu,
The hearty welcome of his many
friends here hardly compensated him
for his abduction especially as he
was not dressed in his "best suit Of
clothes" proverbially used by Nc
Ginty when be goes to sea. Mr.
Woods left home by the Kinau and
it is to be hoped that he, by this
time will be landed at his destination.
