CONSFSTEsT.

In Kansas City the other day wo- man attempted suicide. She was taken to the office of the city physician Dras- tic measures were resorted to to restore her to life. Upon regaining conscious ness she indignantly protested against the carelessness of the physicians for walking her about on the cold, damp cement floor in her bare feet. She fear ed that she ould catch cold.
 Those who delight to talk about the inconsistency of woman will find a text in this incident. But properly looked at there is no such text there. Indeed, the incident is strikingly illustrative of the unvarying and unwearying consis- tency of woman. This woman wanted to commit suicide She didn't want to catch cold. If she had been allowed to carry out her plan not word of com riaint would have been heard from her. She was entitled to complain when. instead of find ing herself dead. as she had plan ned, she found herself being walked about on cold, damp cement floor and in danger of catching cold. No wonder she resented it. She would have been very inconsistent if she hadn't.

fl SIGN OF THE TIMES.

Trusts may come. but trusts can go too, and perhaps in the fulness of time there will be more going than coming. One of the latest trusts to go is the Brick trust which represented "a com munity of interests" of brick marufac- turers along the Hudson river. The members of the organization concluded that the association had not furthered their individual interests, and therefore decided that they would conduct their business independently, and as each one saw fit. The purpose of the com bination, it is said, had been to control the output.
 It is too soon yet to tell what the trusts will do or how "the trust problem can best be solved. Perhaps if it were let entirely alone for awhile, until after the next hard times,' for instance, the problem might not seem so great and hard as it now seems. Several of the trusts have already petered out because they found that with all their meekness they couldn't inherit the earth, and 1t is reasonably certain that at least several more will make the same discovery and come to the same end. People nowadays are somewhat dazzled by the glitter Of the trusts, but vixen they see that all the trust glitter is not gold they will feel safer Bide wee until the promoters have earned all they can in their windy and watery work, and the test that ali business has to undergo is applied to the trust business.

being captured, sometimes escaping by the barest interval of time from the pursuing columns. She carried her children with her in her wagon. and cooking utensils sufficient to live a tole- l rable life. The plucky lady occasional ly found a house where she could spend night CT two; but for the most part she was perpetuaily on the move, and perpetually keeping her weather eye open for the pursuing columns. Every now and then General De La Rey would visit her. and on one occasion he came to her sick, and she nursed him. But while he was lying sick in the farm house the columns came upon them. General De La Key leaped out Of bed. and with the help of small command of men with him. fought off the attack and succeeded in escaping. On another occasion Mrs. De La Key proved more clever than her husband. He was pro- posing to rest night in farmhouse: but she did not like the look of it. Her military eye seemed to see danger. So she persuaded her husband to move. It was fortunate that she did so, as the enemy came to that farmhouse immedi- ately when they had left. Mrs. De La Key was wandering in this manner when she heard that her husband had captured Lord Methuen. At first she would not believe it, but when she found 1t was true she made her way to her husbands laager. She said she wanted to see Lord Methuen and have talk with him. She took with her fowl and some provisions as present. Lord Methuen consented to see her. and was obliged to tell her that he had de- stroyed her house. Mrs. De La Rey must have got some Christian consola- tion after presenting him with the fowl and helping to nurse him.
 Then came the question what De La Key should do with his prisoner. The young Boers were all against giving him up, because he had treated Mrs. De La Key in manner they did not ap- prove of. But General De La Key and his wife took a larger view. What can we do with him." they asked, If We keep him? If he goes with us he will probably die on one of our treks and then his blood will be put to our charge. Better be generous and hand him back" The general had some diff ffculty with his men, but at last persua- ded them. And so General and Mrs. De La Key performed an act of high gene rosity which was probably the strongest influence in bringing the war to an end. But it seems to us that the generosity Of Mrs. De La Rey was even greater than that of the general. Certainly in her eighteen months campaign she showed quite as much strategy as any of the Boer generals in escaping. What a pity it is that this tale of woman's heroism cannot be fully told, and that We cannot place it in history as pendant to the wanderings of De Wet.-London Daily News.

 Perhaps the time is near when a coal strike will not be as important as the coal strike is this year. It would jar Brother Baer if God. in His infinite wis dom, should fix things so he couldn't take Christian pride in being coal baron.

A BOER HEROINE.
Gen. De La Keys Wife ''in the Field
 for Eighteen Months.

Gen. De La Keys Wife lin the Field
 for Eighteen Months.
 The party of Boers who have come to England with the generals include many who have had exciting experi- ences during the war. In talking to them you realize that it has been quite as much woman's war as mems on the side of the Boers. Perhaps, indeed the most permanent fact that will sur- viVe in history will be the part that has been played by the women. Take the case of Mrs. De La Key. She has been actually fin the field'' for eighteen months. She does not look like it. She just looks kindly middle-aged mother of family who has lived quiet all her life.
 It all arose in this way. In the course of guerrilla" war General De La Rey would occasionally come and visit his wife in manner that perplexed and annoyed General Methuen perhaps more than anything else happening in the war. It certainly must have been annoying, but perhaps the best plan
 
 borne it. Unhappily, this was not the rule with the British general when he found himself crossed by Boer women. It was intimated to Mrs. De La Key that she must pledge herself not to give lodgings to her husband Now, Mrs De La Key is plucky woman, and a devoted wife. She refused. "As long as I live" she replied, T shall give lodging to my husband when he comes to me-" Very well, then, Lord Me- thuen intimated, you must go into camp" But Mrs. De La Rey refused to go into the camp. Give me a wagon, n,' she said, and I will go and shift for myself" So they gave her wogon, and they asked her where she was go- ing. Into the wide world" she said, and she went.
 That was at the end of the year 1900, and from that time until the end of the ! war Mrs De La Key wandered about the veldt, now sleeping in one place, now in another always on the eve of

PUTTING THE WATER TO WORK.

Great changes are going to be made by putting the rivers at work to supply electricity. A company has been form ed to utilize the falls in lower Pike county, Pennsylvania, to supply elec- tricity for light and power throughout the surrounding district. The falls are 2S5 feet high, and 20,0 ,000-horse-power will be realized. The plans provide for installing the turbines at Hawley. Above this town, little to the east, is the Pike county waterfall. By the erection of dam at Hawley fifteen feet high and six hundred feet long will be created a lake twelve miles long and one and one-half miles wide. The lake will be connected by canal with the falls. Water from the latter will flow into the lake, thence to the turbines, where 1t will be used to generate elec- tricity, and will flow directly back into the lake without any loss whatever. Wires will be connected from the Haw- ley plant with Carbondale, twelve miles away; Port Jarvis, twenty-five miles;

pROHIRITfON IN RIDpEFORD.

There may be places in Maine where prohibition prohibits, but Biddeford is not one of them. The president and fifty-three other members of the Women's Christian Temperance Union of Biddeford have sent a formal letter to the Police board in which they de- clare that there are in Biddeford. in open and defiant operation, many bar rooms fitted up and appointed as suit ably and gorgeously as in any of the large license cities in other States; that more than twenty are running openly upon the main street, half dozen at Smiths corner, and a number on other specified streets; that in many places business is carried on all night, as we'll as all day, and on Sundays as on week days; that men. women and children are constantly entering these places. little boys and girls going to buy beer and liquor for their elders. and often drinking over the bar themselves; and, finally, that "our streets are filled with drunken men. women and children. to an extent that makes the name os our city a byWord."
 This state of things really seems to call for notice by the Police board of B;ddeford. In fact, it really sems that the Police board ought to have noticed it without having it's attention pub licly called to 1t.

Business in Great Britain doesn't inl- nrove as some expected it would after the closing of the South African war. A government report on wages show for 1901 a weekly shrinkage of $7,500,- GOO, as compared with 1900, and the in- dications are that this is continuing through the present year. The en- gineering, metal, shipbuilding and min ing trades principally suffer. An in crease in the number of unemployed IS also noted.

Williams has won in the primary, and remains in congress Williams canvass is spoken of as one of the greatest ever seen in Mississippi The last day of it found him in his shirt sleeves, in reputedly hostile ward of Jackson, speaking alter nately in English, German and French. His own county went for him solidly, and he made surprising inroads in the counties of his competitors.

Tie replanting of grass on the wasted cattle ranges in Nebraska, Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, Montana, Idaho and the Dakotas is to be attempted by the rail- roads penetrating those States. The first problem to be solved is the finding of grass plant suitable for stock cattle. Nearly four thousand acres will be fenced and divided into thirty plots for experiments in planting. These western cattle ranges have been ruined by too much crowding and by sheep. It is ex- pected that once the feasibility of re- planting is proved, the federal and State governments will lend their aid to the movement.

An English seaman who took part in recent tests of submarine boat says that the sense of silence when the craft was submerged was profound. As the boat dived the increasing pressure on the hull had peculiar effect. The crew, as he said, felt the subnersion. The sensation probably was caused by the deadening of the vibrations of the boat by the water. Even when the en- zines were driving the craft at the rate of seven knots an hour there was no perceptible vibration. Though the long est time the boat remained under water of the crew became very ill.,
