THE NEW MANLY WOMAN.

The twentieth century woman will
be trained to a full and perfect knowl-
edge of the function of motherhood.
She will understand it's meaning and
it's responsibilities, and will accept
them as q sacred trust, conserving her
life accordingly. The present reckless
slaughter of innocents through igno-
rance, selfshness, or worse will cease,
and our statistics will not show that
less than twenty-four per cent, Of in
fants reach mature life. Nor will the
tiny life be crushed in embryo; rather
will it be tenderly, carefully nurtured
into perfect being. It's mother, the
manly woman Of the new century will
have knowledge of every joint, bone
and sinew of it's small anatomy, the
food that will nourish it, the training
that will develop it physically, mental
ly, morally, and, behold, we shall have
a new race.-Susan B. Anthony in Les
lies Weekly.

VARIOUS NOTES.

William Dean Howells relates that
as a boy, his first literary workshop
was a narrow space under the stairs
at his home. mere was desk against
the wall and a little window giving
sufficient light This was his study
for six or seven years.
It is calculated that Ruskin wrote
more books than any three of the
leading thinkers in England. The
entries in the most recent photography
number 1900, this number including,
of course, the various editions, letters:
etc. His books number seventy.
Some people make it a point never
to retire without a light burning in
the house. A bit of information worth
knowing is that a small even light may
be obtained from a small piece of
candle all night if fine powdered salt
is spilled around the candle until the
black part of the wick is reached.
Yankton Is. D. has a new text
book system in the public schools.
The children rent the books, the year

grade.
In Japan vaccination is compulsory,
and the government makes it's own
lymph and issues it free of charge.
Revaccination at stated periods is also

Queen Victoria's first trouble with

WAS A COSTLY LUXURY.

We heard a strange story yesterday
A widow, or, rather, an estate in a
New England town, is sued by an
apothecary, who claims $4,000 for TAX
ing care of the leg of the husband. The
apothecary did not pull the leg daily,
nor did he dress it. The husband was
injured and a leg was amputated.
Either the man was absurdly proud
Of his leg, or he had fond association,
or he was superstitious about it-as
some, who lose limb or an organ,
are; at any rate, he asked the apothe-
cary to pickle it for him. After it was
spiced and picked it was kept in the
cellar, and the ex-owner would acca-
sionally examine it, to assure himself
that it was comfortable. The repre-
sentatives of the estate allege that
$4,000 is an exorbitant sum; that $500
would be nearer the mark-Boston
Journal.

THE GEOGRAPHY OF NOME.

The geographical position Of the
Nome region is tie southern face Of
the peninsular projection of Alaska
which separates Kotzebue sound on
the north from Bering sea on the
south, and terminates westward in
Cape Prince of Wales the extent of the
North American continent. In a di-
rect line of navigation, it lies about
twenty-five hundred miles northwest
of Seattle, and one hundred and sew
enty miles southeast of Siberia. The
nearest settlement of consequence to
it prior to 1899 was st. Michael, hun
dred miles to the southeast, the start
ing point Of the steamers for the Yu
kon river; but during the year various
aggregations of mining population
had built themselves up in closer
range, and reduced the isolation from
the civilized world by some sixty
miles. The Nome district as settled
centers about the lower course of the
Snake river, an exceedingly tortuous
stream in its upper course, which
energies from badly degraded line Of
limestone, slaty, and schistose noun
tain spurs generally not over seven
hundred to twelve hundred feet eleva-
ton, but backed by loftier granite
heights, and discharges into the sea
