NORTHERN WOMEN THE BEsTP
She Defends her Section.

She Defends her Section.
Mr.. Editor:
In YOUR issue DecenAez IA<A is an
article written by your correspondent
H. Eugene Wilson on the Southern
Woman, While | do not wish to detract
any thing from my southern sis ter's
glory, yet | must say she does not
excel her Northern sister in any par
ticulaT. The woman of the North is
all that can be desired, she is not only
a house diEectress as described by
our friend, but, she is thorough
housewife an ideal home maker and
what any man might be proud of. She
is capable Of loving and one OF the
most loVabie creatures in existence.
In no way is she lacking in effectiOn.
1t is she who looks well to her intsllec-
Uual development believing this to be
| a duty she owes 10 her self and TO her
| fellow creatures, she is practical al
WayS seeking the real and showing
| the artificial and this enables her TO
shine forth as a beautiful specimen OF
physical development which all ad
miTe and acknowledge TO be the the
one desirable gift of nature. That
the Southern woman has the cares of a
home placed upon her sooner than the
woman of the North does; not nee.
| Cessarily mean she is nearer perfec-
ton or more capable to assume them,
| but on the other hand it means that
she has not spent the time in prepar-
| ing for this event and without pre-
paration is not as capable to assume
4 these duties as one who Is prepared.
The woman of the North is bright yet
| brilliant, she is lovable. she IS
true. She's all that can be de.
sired. A NORTHERN WOMAN.

Gernauy's Population.

There is 10 immigration into Ger many. The increase in the population Is entirely natural, and amounted to nearly 7000,000, or about 14 per cent. during the decade from 1890 to 1900, and nearly eight per cent. dur ing the five years from 1895 to 1900. The population of the empire general ly is advancing at the rate of about Is per cent. annually, but the in crease in the cities has been phenom- enal. It Is almost incredible that sev- eral old towns, whose history is meas ured by centuries, are growing more rapidly than Minneapolis or Denver or Kansas City, or any other of the booming young cities in the United States.-Correspondence of Chicago Record Il Herald.

ADVICE ON MARRIAGE,
Answer to Question of Young Han About
 to Take a Wife.

A young man recently wrote to the editor of the Ladies Home Journal asking: What have you to say, squarely and fairly, to young man of 29 who Is about to marry?" Mr. Box uses a page for his answer. Its salient points are these: That a man should make the woman of his choice his chum, as well as his wife; that he should show her the highest eonsid- eration as well as love her; that he should remember that he owes his wife to her mother, and treat his mother-in-law with respect, at least; that he should keep his wife informed as to his income; that he should give her a regular allowance and that he should have his life insured in her ia yor. And above all, that when a young man marries he must remem- Der that he leaves world of self and enters into a world of another and self.

MONKEY FALLING OUT.
Resulted in Sensations of Mingled Pain
 and Pleasure

Once upon time the monkey who married the babboon's sister was vis- ited by his mother-in-law. While the old lady was chatting with her daugh- ter on lower limb of the family roof tree he was teaching the children in the higher branches.
 "Children what is the great truth of eyolution:" he asked.
 That when We drop our tails we degenerate into men," said his eldest child.
 He was so staggered by the correct ness of the answer that he lost his bal ance, fell, struck his mother-in-law and swept herto the ground with him.
 "You brute" exclaimed the old lady, as she gathered herself together and started away limping. T know that was intentional. l will never darken your tree with my presence again."
 Though the monkey was quite bad ly hurt by his fall, he sat up and rubbed his bruises, while an exceed ingly broad smile spread itself over his countenance.

DEFENDING THE NEST.
Pluck Of a Tiny Lsvsrst When Distur
 bance Threatened.

1t had been pouring wet morn ing and We were in some very dripping swedes- flares were numerous, but we were not shooting them, having as many as We wanted. A hare went off rather wild, and one of the walkers found that she had just left nest of four small leverets under the leaves of a big turnip. They were not quite so long as my hand, and each had white spot on its forehead. When the man lifted up leaf with his stick to show them better, one of the lev erets came out about Is inches from the nest, and, jumping up, struck the stick with its paws, making at the same time small snuffing grunt. The other three kept quiet, but this little chap acted as champion to the lot, sallying out and striking the stick four or five times whenever it was poked at him. Keepers have told me that grown-up hares will do ex- actly the same thing to grazing cat tie when they come near their young, striking the muzzle of the COW or OK with their forepaws and making a noise, and then lying down in the furrow again; but l never could have guessed that the fighting instinct could be present in tiny leyeret.- Country I.ife

SHE WAS IN DOUBT.
Couldn't Understand the Elevator Sya
 tenn of a Big Building.

tenn of Big Building.
 She was nice, motherly old lady. who carried puckered handbag and X squinted through her glasses. She ndtfe.smart office boy were waiting on the eigthfHoE-ta la ke-an.lfevator going down. The tyS rows of ele- vator shafts faced each other. She was standing in front of door when an elevator shot upward. A moment later, says the Milwaukee Sentinel, another ear in the same row whisked by without stopping.
 Il want to get car going down" said she, turning to the smart boy. : Well, ma'am, you'll have to step over here to this other side.''
 "Is that 50? I don't know much about these things, except that it gives me gone feeling to ride in one of 'em.1
 You see, all the cars on that side go up, and all the cars on this side go down. Didn't you say you was goin' down2"
 Yes, want to-"
 "All right, here's car now"
 Sure enough, a descending car stopped at the floor with a jolt, and the nice old lady and the smart boy got aboard. She was evidently pug zled about something, for she looked atthe boy ir questioning way as they stepped into the car.
 Two floors down, while the car stopped 10 take on another passenger, an elevator was seen to descend in one of the shafts of the opposite row. s--..IheGe.a she said, pointing, 'Enow there's an elevatcrgoing down on the other side"
 ''0h, well, there's one goes down once in awhile. It has to, you know, so 1t can go up again"
 The elevator man gurgled and the bad boy winked at him. But the old lady left the car in deep thought and evidently trying to get the system of running elevators in that building straightened out in her mind.

LETTA AND HER CURLs.
Borrowed Emery, as Usual, Brings Grief
 to a Young Heart.


 In Wisconsin town were two young girls who were fast friends and had but enc jealousy between them. The older of the two, says the Mil waukee Sentinel, had hair just the common length, while the younger had long brown treSses that reached near the bottom of her dress. Night and day Letta of the Scanty y locks pom dered over the situation and tried va rious means 10 coax and impress upon her hair the propriety Of thrift. But all in vain. As time sped on, her parents moved to Milwaukee, and as they were sorting and packing Letta found in an old bureau nothing less chan bunch of eulls that her mother mad worn in her girlhood. Compari- son proved them 10 be the exact color.
 Now" said the young leader of fashion, q will be just swell the first day at school"
 Letia braided her hair carefully and tied the curls at the end with fresh ribbon.
 When recess came the girls were ranged up in row for pull-away, and as all went flying across the school yard spry little maiden caught the enrls as they sped by her, and lol they stayed with her while their owner went straight to the goal.
