Women as ssnitarians.

At recent meeting Of the Boards OF

Women, he said, are born sanitarians,
whereas men must be taught! This
fact, we should say, is based upon the
evolution Of the race, as the role that
cleanliness plays in civilization is un-
1Oubtedly due to women. Even to-day
it is hard work for the woman 20 keep
the best of us men clean and tidy. Ad-
vantage of this great fact should be
taken in our national housekeeping.
True wisdom consists in utilizing the
teachings. tendencies and habits

During one OF the outpost skirmishe:
between the Englishmen and the Boer:
one Of the latter had his horse shoI
under him. says a correspondent OF
the Washington Post.
Seeing a British cavalry horse with
out a rider, he captured il, and was
riding away, when a bugler caught
sight OF him, and. putting his bugle
TO his lips, blew a shrill blast.
The horse wheeled sharply around
his rider, galloped madly back 10 the
