GIRLS PAST AND PRESENT.
An English Woman Physician Points
Out the Difference Between
Them.

No doubt some deem it a serious queS-
ton whether the life of the girls of to-
day is the best life possible for them
with a view to the making of them the
best possible women. Some male OBJ
servers have been asserting this for
long time past, but with little effect;
it had need to be asserted by female
observers. One such, DR.. Ara bella Ke-
nealy, of London, has plucked up cour-
age to treat the subject in an article
printed in the Nineteenth Century. She
writes of the physical development of
the present-day girl, contrasting her,
not altogether to her advantage, with
the girl of generation or two back
She does not deny that the out-of-door
life she now leads and her indulgence
in the sports and games which at one
time were regarded as peculiar to the
male sex have eXerted beneficial cf-
feet upon her physique and health, but
she still thinks that in many respects
the girl of the period is inferior to her
sister of SO years ago.
Referring to an up-to-date girl, DIR.
Kenealy says: "She no longer pre-
serves and brews. She no longer weaves
and fashions. Her children are nursed,
fed clothed, taught and trained by hire
lings; her sick are tended by the pro-
fcssional nurse; her guests are enter
tanned by paid performers. What truly
remains which may be called her du-
ties? What is left to her, indeed, but
boredom? Let me not be regarded as
merely bringing a grave indictment
against the sex with which have every
sympathy by virtue of belonging to it,
to deprecate the right of every woman
to be educated and self-supporting
'All that / urge is that what she does
she shall do in a womanly way, striving
against disability to preserve her wom-
anhood as being the best of her pos
sessions. All that / would warn her
against is the error into which she has
been temporarily led, the error of sup
posing there is any nobler sphere than
that of bearing and training fine types
of humanity, seeing that this is the sole
business wherewith the mightiest
forces of the universe and evolution are
concerned. But these things to be
wholly worthy must be intelligently
done. The reign of mere instructive
motherhood is waning; the era of in
telligent motherhood approaches. And
the first care of intelligent motherhood
will be to see that none of these powers
| which belong to her highest develop
ment, and through her to the highest
development of the race, shall be i'm
poverished, debased or misapplied. And
in that day she will have ceased from
regarding muscle as her worthiest pos
session. Chicago Chronicle.

GREAT LEGAL VICTORY.
Value of an HonOred Trade Name Up.
held by the United States
Circuit Court,

The California Fig Syrup Co.. of San
Francisco, has just won a legal victory
which is of utmost public interest. as #

sively advertised and acquired a valu.
able reputation under the name Syrup
of Figs" or Fig Syrup" Trading on
the reputation of this remedy other
manufacturing concerns applied the
same name to laxative medicines made
by them. The California Fig Syrup

courts and obtained a permanent in
junction, of which the following is the
text:
1T is thereupon ordered adjudged and
decreed, that the injunction and restrain

PARLIAMENTARY LAW.
Chicago Husbands Have a Good
Laugh at the Expense of
Their Wives.

The study of parliamentary law con-
tinues to rage among the women of
Chicago with uhabated violence Every
neighborhood has its class; some have
two-''beginners" and advanced" For
no longer are women's clubs conducted
on the old-fashioned, go-as-you-please
plan; the woman who is ambitious to
hold office must make a reputation as
a parliamentarian. And of course
every woman is ambitious.
Some West side husbands who know
enough parliamentary law to appre-
ciate the joke are laughing over the eX-
perience of their wives. 1t seems that
when the course of Is lessons was fin
ished, about May 1, their teacher sug-
gested that they should keep up their
studies during the summer, and thus
keep in training for the advanced class
to be organized next fall. She advised
them to meet each week, to take turns
in presiding, and thoroughly to go over
all that she had taught them. This
seemed good plan, and the women
agreed to begin on the work the very
next week.
The women met. Their first business
was to elect a chairman for that par
ticular meeting. 1t chanced that they
chose a woman who had joined the
class midway in the course. Then a
member got up and made this motion:
Mime. Chairman: | move that
luncheon be served at these meetings
of the West Side Parliamentary Law
class, the eatables to consist of sand
wiches and tea and Coffee
This motion was promptly amended
by a member as follows:
mime. Chairman, | move to amend
by substituting the word chocolate for
the words tea and coffee.'''
The amendment was seconded and
put to vote and unanimously carried.
The chairman then announced that the
vote was on the original motion. as
amended, and proceeded to put the
question. But she only got part way.
She was arrested by vigorous protest
that was absolutely unanimous. What
was the use in putting the original mo-
ton as amended? Hadn't they settled
have a luncheon of sandwiches and
chocolate? Any further vote wonld be
just going over the same ground again.
In vain did Mime. Chairman" Law
down the law. In vain did she explain
by illustration and simile. In vain did
she read from Robert and Cushing. In
vain did she remind them that every
lesson of the whole course had hinged
on that very point. Every woman there
had been in the class longer than the
chairman. Therefore, she knew more
parliamentary law than the chairman
Therefore she would not be convinced.
The women argued the point for just
two hours and then broke up in the
same mind as at the beginning
And there hasn't been a meeting of
the West Side Neighborhood Parlia-
mentary Law class Chicago

WHERE THE CITRUS BLOOMS.
Glowing Description of the G1Orics of
the Orange Groves and Flow
ers of California.

Nothing is more satisfying to an an
ticipation of the possible beauty of an
orange grove than a first sight of the
masses of starry blossoms. shining in
snowy whiteness against the rich green
foliage and gl1nting with yellow fruit;
for the orange tree gives you that un-
usual combination in nature of the bios
som and the ripened fruit together.
AS you approach these groves, admir-
ing the halo of their beauty, you are
greeted with an Edenlike perfume that
seems created to blind with the music
of wedding bells. TO the sentimental
nature this appeals strongly, and why
not? The best part eff life is such eX-
periences as these, where one can
throw off for awhile the rude yoke of
affairs and be oneself again. For, how
ever much one may become bowed to
the drag of business life and cares,
there is still youthful corner in the
heart that never grows old, though the
window may be dimmed with cobwebs.
''C'est la que je voudrals vivre"-''It
is there that l would live," sings Mi
gnon, and if you appreciate the full en-
ioyment of existence for time, how
ever brief, try the blue foothills of the
Pacific slope, under the refuge of which
bloom and thrive these tender trees,
more sensitive to frost even than YOU.
As the season advances into spring
and the rains open the flowers you will
be charmed with the variety and pro-
fusion that covers the hillsides, and
predominating over all in the vivid yell
low of the native poppy, in acres of
golden bloom-so intense in color that
they first attracted the attention of the
Spanish discoverers voyaging up the
coast, who from the decks of their ships
cried out with pious admiration: BE
hold the altar cloth of gold.'' That was
centuries ago, but the little flower sends
up its blossoms as brilliant to-day as
though its roots fed upon a mine OF
gold.
For those who believe that there is
prophecy in flowers it is significant that
the color of gold predominates, even in
the desert, where climbing yellow
moss clothes the sagebrush for sea
son in gorgeous array, and the Spanish
bayonet, poetically known when in
blossom among the descendants of the
dons as the ''candlestick of the altar
lifts its fame of bloom high above the
surrounding desolation.
The Pacific slope is the home of flow
ers, which, as the little French chansor
says of love, have no season; welcom
ing you every month in the year with {
vivid perfection of color and bloom anc
a profusion that is hard to believe un
til you are among them, feeling the new
life that expands in them permeate ant
thrill through you. They are generou.
of their blossoms, and in gratifying
your love for them you do not rob them
for as if by magic they bloom as pro
! fusely as before. Not only in winter
but through the long, pleasant summer
for winter and summer are one in the
land of the setting sum- equally pleas
ant, equally profitable and now so neal
that you will wonder why you stayed
away so long.-Chicago Times-Herald

Sirius Photographed at Midday

The fact that bright stars can be seen

times astonishes curious visitors to an

the fact that stars can be photographed
in broad day. The Draper photographs

OLD COACHES ON HAND.
Spirited Practice by the University
Football Eleven, Despite Weather.

In spite of cold drizzFe, last nights
university football practice was the most
spirited yet This was due in a large
measure to the presence in the field of
several of the old players, who took hold
and helped out Coaches Leary and Har-
rison. Van Camper gave the quarter
backs some valuable pointers. Old Char
ley Hoss" Larson gave the guards some
instruction, while Willis Walker looked
after the tackles. From now on it is
hoped to have the assistance of the alum
nj every night, and 1t is believed they
will succeed in arousing again the spirit
which won victories for the maroon and
gold in years gone by. Bissell was
played at center last night, Mueller was
tried at guard, and Page moved over to
right tackle. Clarke Evans was played
at right half, and for the first night
at that position did we'll
The unwelcome news was received yes

serious loss TO the team, for "Shep' was
considered as one of the mainstays Of

him this year. He was to have been
played at tackle. and this accident will
make a hole in the line that will be hard

BASE BALL BRIEFS.

best time a National league runner can
make for the ninety feet Is three and
three-hfths seconds, it is utterly useless
to waste strength and run out on such
play If it was made perfectly every time.
But when you consider that thee Is
chance of two fumbles, that a first base
man may be disconnected with runner
coming full speed to him, especially If
the throw pulls him toward the runner;
that the throw may be wild; that the first
baseman may drop the ball out of the
glove. if it's low to the ground, for a
fraction of a second, why then the base
runner has a chance and should run
every ball out
