NOTES FROM WOMANS REALM

English girls, from the time they
cease to be infants until they are mar
ried. are subjected to a system of sup
pression. It is not surprising that
the average English girl is a nom
entity who. when she marries, is
treated by her husband as an inferior.
Some American mothers, am told,
are educating their daughters on the
English plan. They are making a
grave mistake. A woman has her own
individual life to lead. Not on the
character of her husband, if she has
one. but on her own, will she stand or
fall. and be equal or unequal to her
many opportunities TO WELD an infiu-
enee for good, and to the grave re-
spOnsibilities of womanhood. There
fore. her development must not be
cramped and hindered by the foolish
conventions of a less enlightened age,
as in England, but must be given
plenty of room and encouragement, as
in the United States. A woman is
more womanly and charming for
being broadly educated and led out of
the mists Of ignorance. which are
never a protection. but always a men
ace
Il am happy to say that. while the
Old-fashioned conventional ideas in
regard to young women and their edu-
eation are dying hard in England,
newer and more progressive ideas are
gaining wider consideration. While we
ARE far behind the United States in
women's colleges. we have two insti-
tutions which are devoted to the high
est education of women; and our high
schools. the plan of which we bor-
rowed from you, I think, are impart-
ing the fundamental principles of
good education to thousands of young
women"

Climbing AnimnIn.

Dogs often have to be trained to
climb stairs. lnstlnctlvely distrusting
the upper stories. 1t has been conjec-
tured that this Is because the dogs
forelegs break easily below the shoul-
der, ana the beast seems TO realize this.
The fox has no such fear and has been
known TO climb a tree with plenty of
small limbs to the height OF seventeen
feet swimming comes easier than
climbing 10 most animals as well as to
many races OF men. Rats and guinea
pigs can swim well and do not climb at
all
Bears can climb well IL little. but the
grizzly and other large species stay
mainly on the ground A bear always
climbs down a tree backward, as does
the domestic cat until she has nearly
reached the ground. when she turns
and jumps. but most wild cats run
down a trunk head first. even the heavy
leopard being a more skillful climber
than the light house cat. The tiger
and lion. however, do not climb, for no
discoverable reason unless it be that
they fear falling ON account of their
weight.

Her OpiniOn Of American (Iirls

my experience in this country has
not yet been sufficiently extensive to
warrant my basing any judgment
upon Americans at home; but. in
England and on the Continent, l have
seen much of Americans, and have
been specially drawn to a close obser-
walton of American girls-your types
of young womanhOOd They have
been an Notwithstanding study to me.
and l must say frankly, that, in COM
parison with English and French
girls, they must be given the palm for
superiority" writes Sarah Grand. in
The December Success.
This is not the mere idle eompli-
ment of a stranger in your land; it is
the truth. as I have observed it. The
American girl has. as a rule. a more
marked and interesting indi-
viduality, more force of character.
more mental independence and alert
ness. more vivacity and conversational
ability than has her English cousin.
THE chief reason for the superior
ity of the American girl lies, 1 think,
in the American system of education.
They have space, freedom and liberty
for intellectual expansion and the de-
velopment of character, while our

The "FrOwnerp Is the Thing

Even in these days of ultra-mOdern-
ness, the subject of wrinkles is one of
vast importance and a new preventive
has been evolved. 1t is called by the
suggestive name of 'frOwner." and con-
sists simply of a rather stiff bit of white
paper, about the size and shape of a
postage stamp and having on its back
a similar coating of gum. Especially
is il designed as a preventive of the
wrinkles between the brOws at THE
corners of the eyes; and in these
places after being mOistened. these
should be pasted whenever one is about
to engage in some occupation that
causes the habit of "wrinkling' AT
the fashionable shops of large cities
"frowners" are now as regularly ON
sale as almost any other accessories of
the toilet Many however. prefer to
make them at home, a process simple
and Inexpensive. 1t has also been found
by those who are ingenious That it is
best to cut them circular in shape in
stead Of square, as they leave less of a
trace when removed. Heavy writing
paper from which TO fashion them is
available to all and a little dissolved
gum arabic viii stick them on good
and tight.

seeing the Editor.

An interesting story is related by
Colonel Dennis0n In the volume "Sol-
diering In Canada" concerning the late
Sir Henry Havelock-Allan. who was
famous fighter. The colonel says: my
wife and We're in Hyde park one day
when Sir Henry came over and asked
how she liked his horse She said very
much, ana l gave my opinion that it
was about the finest horse l had seen
on the row that day. He then told us
an anecdote about the horse. He said
he had ridden into Darlington, which
was close TO his country seat, and he
sent a boy up TO the editor of the news
paper asking him TO come down 10 the
street TO speak to him for a few min
utes, as he could not leave his horse.
The editor was too busy 10 come down,
and Sir Henry went TO him. He rode
up two flights Of stairs into the editors
room, spoke 10 him from the horses
back, rode round his table and back
again and then made his way out into
the street He said the horse tumbled
things about a good bit, and the editor
danced out of his way. But, added
Sir Henry, now the editor comes down
TO me If go to see him mounted"

Notifications of Iron.

Add carbon to pure iron. and 1t be-
comes steel. Add a hydroearbon to
iron. and steel itself becomes so ex-
tensively modified that its properties
are not recognizable. Thus steel may
be soft as pure iron. Add hydrogen in
varying quantity and it has the quail
ty of residence. as in the watch spring,
or the quality Of tenacity, as in the
knife or razor. or may be given nearly
all the hardness of diamond. as In n

An Unfortunate Answer.

or an official who died as the head OF
one OF the Great Northern systems and
who was one OF the fathers OF modern
railroading the following story Is told:
Once, when master mechanic, he was
staying IN the country. An afternoon
walk brought him to the edge Of a cut
ting through which ran his line. On a
side track lay a waiting engine. The
fireman and engineer were smoking
placdly, while the safety valve was
giving open evidence OF the size of the
fire within. As the engine was doing
nothing IN particular, this waste Of
coal reused the Ire Of the man on tho
bank. "Who Is your master mechanicT

"Oh, some gray bearded, baldheaded
old blankety blank blank fool down in
Boston," was the cheerful answer.

What the Stars Say Of You

Here is what the stars say about
those born between November % and
December p:
Sagittarius rules during the period
given and persons born within the
dates mentioned are strong, quick, and
active. and make excellent dancers.
The arrow is the Sagitterius symbol,
and Sagittarius people go straight at
mark in their minds and with their
words. Besides being an arrow sign,
this is also a fire sign. Those born
under it are therefore both quick and
fiery. Above all things they should
check their hasty impulses and thei,
tendency 10 speak before they have
considered what is best to say. to
speak first and think second as il
were.
Sagittarius people are in nearly
every case persons of fine, handsome
physique, and uncommon intellectual
and psychic gifts. That they are Sc
often unhappy and unfortunate is not
the fault of their constellation, but of
themselves. because of their rash. un-
controlled temperament.
Sagittarius people have fine. sensi-
tive temperaments, and are likewise
extremely capable, quick and accurate
mechanically, and thoroughly neat
and elean.ly in appearance.
These people have the sense of me-
chanical harmony and adjustment de-
veloped to the point Of nicely. They
Iare as fine and keen as the arrow it.

talent as well perhaps as Sagittarius
does. but in those it is not fined down

our First Horses.

The first horses imported into Amer
lea. says a London Journal, were taken
over by Columbus on his second voy-
age in 1893. Thirty years later forty
two horses were landed in Florida, but
they all died soon after their arrival.
DE Soto, who made an expedition 10
the new world IN 154O-41, left a number
of fine Spanish horses behind him when
obliged 20 quit the country after his
conquest of Louisiana, and this stock
is thought TO have formed the founda-
tlon Of the wild horse of the southwest
ern states In 1904 a French mmi-
grant brought TO Acadia number OF

The Timid Maid


They strolled along the meadow path,
And she looked up and he looked
down;
Her cheeks were red, her brow was
fair,
Her eyes were big and soft and
brown.
They passed along the meadow path,
Her laughter echoed in the air.
Far off the smoke hung DER the town,
And they were all alone out there.
They strolled along the meadow path
Until they reached the fence, where
she
Exclaimed: ALAS! ! cannot climb"
Then let me help you, please" said
he.
He helped her up, rail after rail,
And looked upon her, anxious faced;
She leaned against him trustingly,
He had an arm around her waist.
At last they reached the top, and
while
She sat there. trembling and afraid,
He jumped and, turning with a smile,
Reached upward for the lovely maid
She tumbled in his arms-somehow
Her lips touched his as she came
down
Away across the level field
The smoke still hung above the
town.
All. had he. but the day before,
Been safely hidden somewhere near
He might have seen her leaping Ger
That fence as lightly as a deer.
