We are all familiar, says the Angus
ta Chronicle, with the assertion OF
things that woman can't do ''because
she aint built that way but we arc
daily being forced to enlarge our
views of her possibilities and mar

clpatlon produces typcwriters, clerks,
lecturers, editors and even preachers;
and the time seems ~ be fast an

as di>u lnlilicatiOn--cven for voting.
The advocate Of womun's possibilities
will be diverted by the tribute of Bob
t}nrIcttc, in which he points out some
OF the things in which she Iiir.rs from

miles without going into the smoking
car to rest (and get away from the chill

wcarisomc days shopping and have q
good time with three or four friends
without drinking kcg of beer. She.
can ENJOY an evening visit without
smoking half dozen cigars. She can
endure the torturing distraction of a
house full OF children all day, while
her husband cuifs them all h0wliny to

Every day she enaurcs dress that

Mr.. Mulhall, the statistician, de-
clares that the productive power of
the United States is the greatest in
the world, that it has more than
trebled since 1860, that the average
American farm hand raises as much
grain as three in England, four in
France, five in Germany, six in Avs
tria, and ten in Italy, and not be-
cause he works more hours, but be-
cause he has better machinery and
better food. He figures the accu-
mutation Of wealth at seven millions
per day. In intellectual power Mr..
Mulhall pronounces America amaz-

Gao OF the most remarkable facts
brought to light by the work Of tho
United States Fishery Department is
that no matter where young shad arc
deposited they will always return to
that same place next year, evon though
hundreds Of miles from the sea. For
instance, shad put into the Ohio near
Cincinnati have returned there ever
since and are not found in any other
tributaries. They know, the rofore, in
some way when they reach Caro- and
know also that thcre they take the
