Women Better OFF in Russia.

After spending several years in Eu-
rope during which time she made Il
study of the condition of members of her
sex in various countries, Mrs. Kate r.
WoOlsey has come to the conclusion that
the women in the United States occupy Il
relatively lower position than members Of
the sex do in Russia. She complains
that the sort of government for which
the American Constitution provides is a
monstrOuS regime of mCn-a government
of mcn by men for men. and that the
honors and dignities enjoyed By women
in mOnarchieS are absolutely denied to
them in a republic which entirely with
holds recognition of women. Even in
Russia woman holds a more favorable
position than in the United States
about ten years ago, says Mrs
Woulscy. Il met Il Russian lady of pre-
eminent rank and great wealth who CON

Balzac and Hugo were the last of the
great men whose inspiration was unceas-

who were literature. Balzac wrote a
great story AT sitting n sitting that

while he wrote. for no secretary could
keep pace with him, and all that while
he lived on black coffee. Then he slept
for thirty hours Hugo wrote Her

College Women as Mothers.

1t is matter of observation that often
the college woman makes the best moth
er. She may not be the happiest girl of
her mothers flock, the most popular belle
in society or the most domestic or adapt
able bride but when she has children, all
the inherited love Of motherhood, supple
mcnted by a trained. disciplined mind
familiar with facts, are hers.
The college woman does not stupefy
her infant with drugs not bind it with
bands of iron-threadcd linen. not feed it
with pork fat or sugar, nor dose il with
herb tea, nor dress it like a doll nor
show it off to strangers. She studies
the individual child, and all the lore of
her salad days" becomes TRANSPORTED in
mother love. As her children grow older
the college woman travels on with them
eXultaatly, finding new JOY with every
year and growing young in heart and
sympathies as time goes by. And you
may be sure her girls will all he college
girls. and her boys all college boys, I'M
less there are some who are better with
out such training, in which case she win
know enough not to force the wrong sort

Father Love.

Much is said and written in glorifica,
ton of mother love. Father love is less
III evidence, but one little girls opinion
of ii appears in the following story:
A young rector was in charge Of n
large church in the West End Of London
whose wife died, leaving a motherleSs
child. The people hoped that some aunt.
sister or niece would come 10 look after
the child but none such appeared
Gradually it came To be known i'm the
parish that their scholarly and eloquent
rector was as much at home amid the
mysteries Of the nursery, the warming OF
- child's mug Of milk. the washing Of
baby s. face. etc, as he was familiar
with the mazeS of theology and the
changing phases of Biblical questions.
-Four years slipped by, and one Easter
Sunday, when the church was adorned
with wreaths and lilies of sweet per
fume, the child was placed, ms usual, in
tn" corner Of a front pew, and the serN-
ice Went on until the sermon began.
This was on the mother Of Christ
her agony of heart mt the Cross. her
wonder at the news of the resurrection,
and from this he turned to tell Of tile

Whistling for Health.

The "whistling girl now has some
backing for her habit. But she must
whistle scientifically. Whistling. as a
health exercise, is now advocated by
German and Swedish professors of phys
zeal training. They say that great benc-
liz results from a conscientious practice
of the simple art But they require n
systematic and constant effort on the
part Of the beneficiary. An exchange
says:
Drill schools have been formed where
one Of the chief exercises consists in ~
ing fiat, back downward, on n table, and
simply breathing and eXpellng the air
from the lungs with regularity and vigor
Dumbbels and Indian clubs have been
discarded ny the advanced health cul-
turists in those institutions. As meth
cd of prolonging life and strengthening
the human frame against sickness,
whistng is said to be beyond cOmpare.
Development of chest and neck muscles
is one of the special advantages claimed
for the exercise. Long. deep breathing
is an essential for a good whistler as
it is not permissible to draw in the
breath except during the intervals of
the sound production. Besides the good
that accrues to the performers general
health, there is an advantage in know
ing how to whistle well. 1t is recog-
Eized as q certain form of musical art,
and as such is capable of giving pleasure

Meant We'll After All.

me this story, says writer in the
Brooklyn Eagle:
"My father took a great interest
in musical matters, and was often
the patron of impecunious music
ians. Among the latter was Ger,
tain Prof. Schell, fine pianist, who
used to visit our home. He had
been making hard but unsuccess
full struggle, and had become al
most disheartened, and was think
ing OF giving Up and returning to
Germany. My father had tried to
encourage him, and promised to aid
him in finding pupils; but still he
vacillated for many weeks. One
afternoon he entered our library
and, walking up to mother, said,
with an air of profound gravity:
Madam, 1 haf burnt my
breaches behint me-
"'Good gracious ! circulated my
mother, with all involuntary start

professors coat tails.
my father interposed, the pro-
fessor nodding acquiescence: You
will be glad to know, my dear, that
what Prof. Schell means is that he
has burned his bridges behind him
because he has leased a house for a
year and has no choice but to stay"

The total amount that the perpe-

$500, 900 and $500, 900, while the
loss to the Government, consider
ing the unnecessary supplies that
have been. purchased and the in

by fraudulent contractors, can not
be estimated with any degree of
accuracy, says Mr.. Bristow. AS a
result of the investiga ton four

All this has brought a condition
such as has never before been wit

full significance of which the peo-

must be evident, upon reflection, to
those who study the question that
