Woman and the "Four KS"

The recovery of the German empress from
her recent injuries received in falling from
her horse has caused a revival Of the court
anecdotes about her skill in cookery and the
arts domestic. and of the kaiser's pride in
these accomplishments. The war lord, who
himself essays to shine in all departments
Of human activity and who does shine in
many, quotes with approval this saying Of
the kaiserin: "Woman's vocation is nothing
but the four K's-kinder, kirche, kuche und
kleider." In English we should read it 1.-The
four Cs-children, church, cooking and
clothes"
Undoubtedly this Is true for the majority
Of women, but the rule demands notable ex-
ceptions. Children are denied to many wo-
men in civilized and monogamic lands be-
cause they outnumber the men and because
of the latter an increasing proportion insist
upon remaining bachelors. In the churches
women are enjoined by st. Paul to keep
silence, form of participation that does
not call for all their time Clothes are in
thu sphere of the ever feminine, but there
are women who spend quite too much time
thought and money upon them, and need in
that direction no encouragement There
remains cooking-a noble art indeed an art
most necessary to the race.

Wandering Night Herons.

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Eight hundred night herons are wander
ing free about the United States, each
wearing on one leg aluminium band in
scribed Smithsonian institution and a
number If any person shoots one of these
birds he should write to Paul Bartsch,
biologist of the Smithsonian telling where
it was and how large was the bird. The
night heron is one of the most beautiful of
the aquatic birds Of America, but scientists
know less about it than they are satisfied
with. Last year Mr.. Bartsch discovered
several breeding places of these birds on
the Potomac in the District of Columbia
Recently he visited the place with several
assistants in the night and the 800 alumni
mum bands were fastened to the legs of as
many young herons. Science is anxious to
know how long the night heron lives.
where it spends the winters and how much
of the country 1t covers in its wanderings.
It is believed that by the time few Of the
numbered aluminium bands have been re-
ported some of these facts will have been
established to the satisfaction Of the orni-
biologists.

THE TIDE TURNING,
German Business Now Recovering
From It's Depression.


Consular advices received at the State
Department from Germany show that the
last year has witnessed decrease in the
profits of German Industrial undertakings
as compared with the preceding year.
Slight improvement is noted in the textile,
porcelain and glass industry. while chem
icals hold their own. Stock companies
in the more important manufacturing
branches paid an average dividend of 79S
per cent in 1901, but last year this was re-
duced to $50 per cent. ST
United States Consul Albert at Brunswick
states that the turning point in Germany's
wave of business depression has been
reached, and that many corporations are
now recovering from temporary embarrass:
ments. Reduction of the surplus stock in
iron and steel companies has been due, he
says, to the large American orders. There
is great demand for construction material
as a result Of the large number Of build
ing enterprises New commercial treaties
are being negotiated and the passage Of the
tariff will, It is believed. restore business
to a normal condition.

naturally jealous of its own functions, and
quick to assert and extend them. And SO
it has come about that the government is
