WAS A COSTLY LUXURY.

We heard 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 1t was kept in the
cellar, and the ex-owner would acca-
sionaiiy 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 NEW MANLY WOMAN.

The twentieth century woman will
be trained to full and perfect knowl-
edge of the function of motherhood.
She will understand it's meaning and
its responsibilities, and will accept
them as q sacred trust, conserving her
life accordingly. The present reckless
slaughter of innocents through igno-
rance, selfishness, 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. Its 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
new race.-Susan b. Anthony in Les
lies Weekly.

DEPEw ENJOYS BEING SENATOR.


Senator Depew's enjoyment OF his
seat in the senate Is constantly
commanding attention. A writer for
the Star has Just added his comments
to those made by others He says
that no man in the senate enjoys be-
ing senator more than does Mr.. Depew
of New York. His satisfaction is pro-
claimed in his affability and his beam
ing countenance. In the msnner OF his
sitting at his desk. in the comfortable
way In which he moves about the
chamber, and through the corridors. In
the amiability with which he answers
calls from the receptlons-room, in the
way he sweeps the galleries with a
glance, and in his discussion Of pub
lie questions in the street cars. He is
both delighted and a delightful man.
The reception ne obtained when he
made a speech the other day was the
envy Of all Mr.. Depews colleagues.
Senator Plat Of New York. the great
boss and far-famed politician, never
had such an audience: neither did
Waleott in bis palmiest days. All the
reserved galleries were so crowded
with ladies, back TO the very walls, that
there was hardly room for a man any
where except in the public galleries.

THE GEOGRAPHY OF NOME.

The geographical position of the
Nome region is ne southern face of
the peninsular projection OF Alaska
which separates Kotzebue sound on
the north from Boring 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
eenters 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

hundred to twelve hundred feet eleva-

heights, and discharges into the sea
