IDEALS OF woMANHooo.
Freedom For Women Is the Slogan
 of Today.

Edward Howard Griggs in a recent lec- ture on Modern Ideals of Womanhood," given before the Brooklyn Institute. said in part:
 ''rhe new ideal is the largest possible that she is to rush in and do all the things that men are doing. but that 1t is believed that every arbitrary restriction and artificial limitation must be removed If then she takes up what she finds she cannot do she will learn her limitation in that direction and take up something else In continuance of this belief and in the same spirit we demand equal pay for equal service for men and women.
 Tt is a misfortune-'t is an evil-that nine out of ten of our teachers are wo- men. Not because they are not good teachers for they are, but our children need the masculine influence just as much as they need the feminine influence. They need to associate with both men and wo- men in getting their education The quail ities of each are necessary to the proper rounding of their character. The question is, why do we get well trained and gift ed women for schools and not an equal number of equally well trained men? And the answer is that the former come for less money. So there will be no change in this situation until there Is equal pay for equal service.
 ITO achieve the highe.> men and wo- men must be of equal nobility of charac- ter, for that union is dependent upon the deepening of the content of the individ- ual, of the personal spirit. In socialism that is often forgotten. Perfect union in marriage also demands this, and yet such deepening of the content gives an added susceptibility to suffering. But if the basis of union be strong enough to pull the two natures together, the larger the difference the stronger the union So men who have progressed the furtherest have gained certain of the gentler feminine qualities and demand a corresponding gain in masculine qualities in the women of their choice, the gain operating in the one case toward the more perfect man hood and in the other toward the more perfect womanhood, and thus increasing differentiation.

RAISE PRICE OF SHOES.
Have to Put Up Price on Account of
 Higher Cost of Leather.

Vienna, December 26.-The Austrian merchants have decided to advance the price of shoes 10 per cent on account of the higher cost of leather. They claim this step is due to extensive purchases of hides in the European markets by Amer jeans. who have practically cleaned out the continental stocks.
 The Austrians also profess to see in- creased danger to the European shoe In- dustry from America owing to the United States government refunding 99 per cent of the tariff on the raw article when manufactured and exported. They com plain that this procedure is too greatly facilitated by Secretary Shaw's order ad- hitting proof of identity by simple declarations instead of by affidavit.

Diamonds Explode.
.om the Boston Herald.

From the Boston Herald.
 It has long been known that diamonds, especially the class known as rose dia- monds," are likely to explode if subjected only to what would seem a very ordinary degree of heat, such as strong rays from the sun, etc. It Is now believed that the explosions are the result or the rapid ex- pansion of certain volatile -liquids en- closed in cavities near the center of these precious stones. A great many diamonds, even though cut, mounted and worn as gems of perfection, are still in an unfin- ished condition-that is, the liquid drop from which the stone is being formed has not as yet deposited all of It's pure crys- tals of carbon.' These movable drops may occasionally be seen with the naked eye.
 When this Is the case a strong micro scope will give the drop the appearance of a bubble in the fluid of a carpenters s level. It is also highly probable that be- side the liquid mentioned these cavities may contain certain gases under great tension. This being the case one may readily comprehend how very small amount of heat would cause the liquid and gas to expand to such a degree that the diamond would give way with all the characteristics of miniature explosion.

Four Thausand eodfathers.

From the London Tattler
 Princess Irene of Prussia is better pro- vided for in the matter of godfathers than any other woman in the world. She can boast of no fewer than .40o0 god fathers, and how she came to obtain so many is a pretty story. When she was born the war of 1866 was drawing to an end, and peace being concluded just at the time of her christening, her father Prince Henry of Hesse, requested all the officers and men of the regiments under his command to stand godfathers to his little daughter. whom he named Irene (Peace) in commemoration of the war.

LARGEST ON RECORD.
Disbursements on New Year Will Be
 Greatest Ever Known.

New York, December 26.-As shown by figures compiled by the Journal of Com merce of interest and dividend payments to be made in January there is little doubt that the total disbursements at the new year will be the largest ever re- corded. The total payments according to these figures, is in excess of S192, 900, ,o0O This total is considerably larger than were the payments made In July last, when a similar compilation showed grand total of $i23 67S, 355
 These figures do not include interest of Greater New York city bonds. Allowing an approximate sum for this, the total for July would be brought up to little more than s125 coo, GOO. The coming January pay ments therefore exceed those for last July by approximately $1000, 900.
