much depends upon Love on $0oo Year.
the girl. The social butterfly certain
ly cannot meet the demand upon her
purse for $1,000 year, while, on the
| other hand, the girl who is willing to
do her own washing, who would not
need nurse girl for the children, who
does not want a brown stone front on
the avenue for residence, who can
make her own gowns and her hus-.
bands shirts, who is willing to wear
calico in the kitchen, who will gather
the firewood from the alleys, and deny
herself the pleasure of theater party
every night, might manage to exc out
an existence on $500 year.
The fact is the majority of the au-
thorities on domestic economy who
have been quoted on the subject have
failed to provide for any of the ex-
traordinary expenses which are al
most sure to arise in every household,
but it may be that papa-in-law was ex-
pected to meet these with occasional
donations.
Hundreds of young couples are mar
ried each year whose love dreams have
failed to include such practical affairs
as rent, groceries, clothing, doctors,
etc. Hundreds of women who were
parties to such marriages may be found
to-day behind the counters of the
State street stores, or operating type
writer's in La Sale street offices. They
found they had set too low minimum
for love to exist upon, and preferred
to seek their old positions, rather than
submit to the drudgery Of homework.
Twenty dollars week, or even less,
may keep the average young man In
luxury, but two cannot
live as cheap as one In Chicago.

was on the bull side
OF the market, and he had the public
with him, though the professionals
against him. Ninety-cent wheat was
the product of Armour manipulation,
ana IN all probability 9O-cent wheat
would have been about the limit for
the market, had not the war in the far
east taken the whole thing out of the
hands OF the manipulators. Last
thanksgiving day May wheat was
selling for around rs cents. know
a small trader who held 10000 bushels
bought at that price, 1t went up half
a cent, dropped back a quarter, and he
became frightened and sold. Had he
held his small holdings it would have
netted him profit of close to $4,000.
Armour got into the market at even q
smaller price, and has been buying all
the way from 70 cents up to above 80.
On every bushel he purchased he has
made profit, and his total to the good
IN these operations will amount to very
close to $1000,00O. The most of
this great amount has been taken from
the professionals on the board, instead
OF from the general public, who have,
as rule, followed the Armour lead,
and bought. The occasional Shake
outs" have caused some losses on the
part OF the outside public, but not to
great extent. To-day the market has
gotten beyond the control of the ma
nipulators, and the price of the cereal
will be regulated by the length of
time the conflict in the far east lasts.
and the complications that arise from
1t. A general waf throughout Europe
at this time would put wheat to $3.50
or better quite easily.

ers as in Chicago. The city has 49,
900 organized female wage-earners, en-
bracing practically every calling in
which large numbers of women are
employed, save those of stenographe7s
and house maids. The school-teach-
ers have union, and SO have the
scrub women, and both are organized
on much the same lines.
That they find their unions interest
ing is proven by the large attendance
at the meetings, and that the women
are capable organizers and managers
is proven by the orderliness of these
large assemblages end the lack of dis
cord in them. That the management
of the "lady president" and the LADY
walking delegate" is efficient, is proven
by the increase of wages. the reduction
Of the working hours and the improve
ment in shop conditions in the vari-
GUS lines in which they are employed.
That they have no use for husbands
may be proven by the statement elicit
ed by Miss Richardson, of the Leslie
Magazine staff, from Mrs. Mary Nc
Dermott, walking delegate of the Scrub
women's union:
''You are the only married woman

They are French
Canadians, and it is not because they
''love Russia more, but that they love
England less" that they wish for Rus
sian success, believing that such a sue
cess would mean reverse for Eng
land.
The French Canadians, whether at
home or in the eastern provinces OF
Canada, or in the states, are not loyal
subjects of the government to which
they owe allegiance. At home they
know nothing but the traditions of
France; they will not permit their chill
dren to attend the public schools in
Canada, but send them to the paro-
chial schools maintained at their own
expense where nothing but French Is
taught. In the poorer sections of
Montreal or Quebec one may see more
French flags than union jacks dis
played on the cottages of the people
They have their own feast days and
holidays, and though they are law
abiding citizens, the Canadian govern
ment seems to have no hold upon their
sentiments.
In Chicago these days one may find
a French and Russian flag waving side
by side from the windows of the cot
tages of these emigrants. Nearly 200
wears have passed since Wolf stormed
the Plains of Abraham, but that the
territory was once under the protec-
ton of the lilies of France has not been
forgotten.

Harvey, although he had been
governor Of his state and had made
a fairly good reputation as such,
made very Insignificant senator, and
was, after three years service, defeat
ed for reelection and dropped out of
political life. Plumb died in office
at Washington. Perkins served a
brief term by appointment and is
scarcely remembered as a senator.
Martin served two years, and left the
senate poorer in purse and with less
prestige than he possessed when he
went in. Baker was almost total
failure, and his crushing defeat for
reelection at the hands of Burton Is
still warm in the memory Of the peo-

best in the Russian navy. The feet ia

as modern fleets go, it would give Rus
STA strong fleet for far eastern service
II it could be added to the Baltic fleet
and what is left of the Pacific fleet.
The three first class battleships, Cath
crime H., Tchesme and Sinope are mon
sters of their kind. Their measures
ments are as follows: Displacement,
1O,180 tons; length between the perpen-
diculars, 800 feet; beam, SO feet:
draught, Is feet. The compound armor
belt has maximum thickness of Is
inches, and the triangular rebout is
plated with ten inches. This redoubt,
or citadel, is special feature 1t pre-
sents it's base to the bows, and, mas
much as two 12-inch Sc ton guns are
coupled en- barbette at each of the an
giles, the bow fire is exceedingly power
full. The six heavy guns aree mounted
on the disappearing guns principle, and
only show over the top of the redoubt
when about to fire. OF the seven six
inch guns, four are also disposed for
bow fire and three directed astern.
Another remarkable vessel in this
heet is the Trisuititelia, which is the
heaviest protected ship in the world.
Some of the vessels of this fleet are
speedy, running from 16 to 10 knots an
hour. The Rostislav burns oil for fuel
md made - knots on her trial trip.
Whether or not this feet will sue
iced in getting out of the trap in which
t is caught by international complica-
ions is question that only time can
answer, but if it does it should give q

truction, for the entire feet is neces-
arily of Russian build.

this time as to threaten war upon Rus
STA unless these demands were COM
piled with, and for time it seemed as
though all Europe would become en-
tangled in one great contest. Russia,
seeing herself far outclassed in fight
ing strength by the combinations
formed against her, finally consented
to the calling Of congress, and it met
at Berlin on June IL, 1873, with Prince
Bismarck as president. The congress
settled the many vexed problems con-
fronting Europe at that time, and
among other things left the Darda-
nelles closed. It was during the ses-
sions of this congress that the compile
ton. of treaty of alliance between
England and Turkey was announced,
an announcement which played a
prominent part in the settlement of the
Dardanelles question before the con-
gress.
AS this congress was participated in
by all Of the great powers of Europe
concluded there, the passage of the
Black Sea feet through the Dardanelles
even with the consent of Turkey would
be an affront to every nation of Europe
IL they wished to consider it SUCH That
England would oppose it, even to the
extent of a declaration Of war, there
can be but little doubt, for it would
confront her with a new danger for
her possessions in India and the Medi-
terranean.
The narrow straits which connect the
Mediterranean with the Sea of Mar
mora and the Black sea have played
q prominent part in the history of Eu-
rope from the earliest times Xerxes
with an army estimated by historians
at more than 100000, including camp
followers, crossed the straits on a
bridge of boats at the time of his dis
astrous campaign against the Greeks,
$50 B. C. All the land hvasions of Eu-
rope by the Asiatics necessarily fol-
lowed the same route.
The straits were not fortified until
the reign of Mohomet w. in 1859, I'M

castles of Sestos and Abydos on oppo-
site shores. The building of these cas-
ties virtually marked the closing Of !

in the far east, was the
treaty Of Paris, signed March 80, 1856,
and which marked the close of the
bloody Crimean war in which England
and France, as allies of Turkey, had
given the ambitious house of Roman
of setback from which it never fully
recovered.
The closing Of the Dardanelles was
stipulation practically demanded by
Russia at this time. Though Turkey
had virtually kept them closed to the
nations of the world when it was to
her interest to do SO, Russia had found
that the Turkish Notifications offered
no resistance to Turkeys allies, and
England's navy had played sad havoc
with Russian coast cities. The same
treaty provided for the demolishment
of Russia's Notifications and arsenals
at points on the Black sea, leaving the
nation virtually defenseless against
any invading force which might be
able to attack her in. this weak spot,
as Turkey was liable to do at any time.
The peace of San Stafana, signed
March 2, 1873. and which marked the
close of the RussiaTurkish war of
1877, and the secret understanding in
reference to the passage of the Darda-
nelles forced upon the defeated sultan
by the car, would have virtually un-
done all that was accomplished by the
earlier treaty had not England opposed
