Visitors Barred from the soudan.

Many persons have, since the recon quest of the Soudan. been desirous of making trips of curiosity to Khartoum and 0mdurman, but all endeavors to do so have been fruitless. The sidar will allow no stranger to enter the cities, and the government refuses all applications for permission to cross the desert Lord Kitchener is proceed ing with the work of planning out Khartoum. and by the time that trav- elers are free to enter the city they will find very little to show them what the city was like in Gordon's day. The reason for this action on the part Of the government is that the desert is not yet safe for those who have not a military escort

WHITE SLAVES.

AnOf's Making to Stop the Cursed
 Traffic in Russia

 ilmes. In view of the International congress to be held in London at the eAu o1 the present month for the dis sasslon Of the best measure to be taken l the prevention of the white slave,
 e the Novosti has lately been Npablishing detailed accounts of the Aaaiilef Tn which this business is car ssu on In Russia. The trade has de- se4oped To a great extent in the past lew years throughout Western Europe oat the town of Jassy is it's center. iAe women are bought, partIcularly at t1slpsie, during the great annual fair, uot U IS the capital of Moldayia, which is tne central point of the traffic. just as khartoum was formerly the mar hel place for the human merchandise imported from Abyssinia and Central 4a1i4ed. From Jassy the merchandise is aireeted to Russia and Turkey. Next to Jassy, Brussels has become the most important center for this business. ne white slaves destined for Russia
 generally sent to Riga or to Wilma, Eefe the wholesale merchants from ot. Petersburg and Moscow meet to make their selections. These they transfer at once to the principal cities or the empire and to the remote prov, lhees of Siberia. There was recently arrested in Odessa an agent of the principal Russian white slave mer- chants, and at his residence a volumi- nous correspondence, with sub-agents at Jassy, Brussels, Riga and elsewhere, was found. Thanks to this edifying correspondence, the Russian police as eeftalned that white slave agencies ex- lst throughout Russia. in rural dis 1r7cts as well as in the principal cities and towns. Tn some of these letters me sub-agents mentioned that they Lad exceptionally fine merchandise at a.TelatiVely low price, five parcels (sie) kSi Then there followed detalled uescrlption of the goods. The Odessa agent ln question has been exiled to Siberia, where he will spend the next ten years. From what I hear, the Rus sian government considers the white slave traffic as an international curse, which can only be successfully eradi- cated by the united efforts of all civil lzed nations. It is well known that the czarina is herself deeply interested in this matter.

A womap's Tower.

A woman may dazzle when she is merry. but she is most charming when she is tender and sympathetic. When her voice takes a softened tone and her eyes look words that her lips hesitate to say-then, if she only knew her power it would be bad time for the world at largel Only she never knows it. Possibly she charms the most when she is unconscious of it. The very unconsciousness is part of the charm.

WATCHES IN THE PAWNsHOPs. Always the First Articles to Be Pledged
 in Distress.

in Distress.
 Most people suppose, said a down town pawnbroker, the other evening, according to the Baltimore News, that when man goes broke, the first thing he thinks of pawning is his dress Asuit, but that's not so. While there rmight be some that do this, they are few and far between. By long odds the great majority of those in distress first put up their watches. In a big city like this, with clocks on every hand. a watch is almost an unneces- sary luxury on the street, and so this IS the first article pawned. Watches are, so to speak, a drug in the pawn shop. We get so many of them that we often wonder where they come from. You might think that We never would have occasion to lend money on wedding rings, but you would be wrong, for we have several of them now. A woman must be in distress to pledge her wedding ring, and yet 1t is often done. We have engagement rings, too, but not so many in num- nNI as NCuu4HS fluSS. sometimes HIGH pawn engagement rings. We simply take that as a sign that they have broken an engagement, but when woman comes to us with one of them we know she needs money. I've made qulte study of pawnshops," contin ued the broker, and I find that in the majority of cases the dress of the per tson asking for loan on some article shas a great deal to do with the amount sfeceiyed. If the pawnbroker sees a sweH-dressed person in front of him he 6Mlll naturally argue that he or she is Ea little short of funds for the time be- s,ng, but will return and take the article sont of pledge in a few days. If, on the scontrary, the person asking loan be poorly dressed, there Is little chance That he or she will get a fair amount son it. In the latter case the pawn Sbroker usually offers only what he thinks the article will bring at private .or public sale, with the amount of his lnterest deducted

COLLEGES TURN ouTspINsrERs
Educated Girls Think Longer and Look
 on Marriage SerionsIr.

on Marriage Seriously.
 investigators who have been study ing the college girl versus marriage make the extraordinary assertion that the percentage Of marriages among women eollegians falls far below that ot the less highly educated woman, says the New York Mail and Express. For example, take one college-Bryn Mawr-and the classes of 'S9 and '94 for illustration. Class 'S9-Ten years out of school, averaging now 32-33 years of age; twenty-six members. eleven married, two studied three years postgraduate to take the degree Of Ph. D. Neither of these has mar Tied. Class '94-Five years out of school, averaging now 27-28 years of age; twenty in class; three have mar red; three studied one year extra to take degree of A. NJ, one stayed three years to take Ph. D. Of seventy eight women who have held fellowships ten nave married, or 13 per cent; of 161 graduates thirty-nine have married. or A per cent; of 225 girls who did nos stay to take their degrees thirty fght nave married, or IT per cent; of 234 A. B.s, thirty-two married, or Ii per cent Very few women will agree, however, with the conclusions of the. Rey. Dr. E. Winchester Donald, made public in a speech delivered at Abbott academy, Andover that the methods of education followed in nearly all the female colleges make pupils unwom- anly and too erudite." They may make them critical and develop their dis cernment and discretion, two attrib- utes which women greatly need to get along in the world, whether married or single, but in the sensible words of one undergraduate is found the true solution of the problem. She says: Graduates leave college at the age of 2l or 22, and are less likely to rush into marriage. They think longer and look at maternity more seriously. While l must admit that there is great difference in the percentage of married women who graduate com pared to those who do not, I do not thlnk that girls erudition seares a young man or creates q desire to re- main single, but makes woman more sensible and restrains her from rush ing unheedingly into wedlock."
 Teach Your Children to Play Alone.
 I believe that every child should be encouraged, if not required, to play alone during some part of the day. Any close observer of children will note an unexplained tendency to silli- nes when a number of them are at play together. There are likewise dan gers in an oVersupply of adult society. Children are more influenced by in- direct suggestion than we are apt to realize. and we may keep them by us too closely, and thus affect unfavor- ably their will power and their inde- pendent development-El Elaine Goodale Eastman in the May Woman's Home Companion.
