The Way to Womanhood.

From Harper's Bazaar.
Childhood and maidenhood have always
attractive beauty of their own. Go
where you WILL in strange and half bar
barrie lands, you find the touch of grace
and freedom that charms you in
Little Indian. Sioux or Crow,
Little frosty Eskimo,
Little Turk japanese"
But with maturity you look for something
more; and how many are the countries in
which you find something less-a woman
hood from which the charm of wild youth
has vanished without a compensation.
These the countries in which false
social order, an imperfect and partial re-
ligiouS rule, a low national aspiration, a
split sense of humanity, has blocked or
bewildered the upward path for half the
race.
To discover that path and keep it clear
and Open that the feet of the young
maids may walk in 1t with joy is one of
the vital problems of civilization. 1t is not
woman's problem only, but mans also;
and in some ways it presses upon him
more closely than upon her. For the
arrangement of the worlds work and the
making of the worlds laws still lie for
the most part, in his hands, so it rests
with him to remove the hindranceS and
obstacles, false standards of propriety, and
i'll conditions of life. that woman may have
liberty and incentive to rise to her full de-
velopment. Never yet was fine woman
hood unfolded in a country where the
dream and the desire of her fulfillment were
not cherished in the heart of man.

HARD LOT THAT OF DEBTOR.
Redemptioners of Daniel De Foes Time
Doomed to Practical Slavery

From the Chicago Chronicle.
| In Daniel De Foes time debtors were fire.
| quently compelled. in seeking means to ex
| tricate themselves from their embarrass
| ments, to consent to anything if they there
| by could avoid the horrors of the debtors
prison. In many cases they took advantage
| of a custom that in one form or another had
| a sanction of antiquity, and, being gen
| orally able-bodied men, they placed them
selves in the hands of some merchant or
agent, who, having effected an arrangement
| with the creditors, took possession of the
. unfortunate debtors, and, hurryng them to
the nearest seaport, shipped them abroad,
generally TO Virginia Maryland,
| much merchandise. Sometimes the dealer
accompanied his cargo, in order, if possible,
| to obtain a better price at the end of the
voyage.
Arrived a their destination, the captives-
| to give them their real name-were sold to
any planter whose offer would recoup the
agent for the sum he had expended In pur-
chase and transit and also allow him a
handsome profit. BY the terms of this sale
the captive was bound to serve his new
master for several years, his liberty being
nominally secured at the end of that perioi I,
and from the hope of redemption and de-
liverance thus held out to him the term
"redemptioner' came to be applied 20 these
unfOrtunates.
But any hopes that the redemptioner
might cherish of his ultimate liberation soon
proved falldclouS, and he found himself
| plunged into fresh embarrassments long be-
| fore his period of servitude had expired.

Some of these redemptioners were Of

Tribute of Old Soldier,
From Lippincott's.

During the progress of the funeral train
bearing Gen. Shermans remains to ST.
Louis after his death, many pathetic cpl
sodes occurred to show the love and rever-
ence in which the great war hero was
held. The most touching incident occurred
In the night. At about o'clock In the
morning the train was rolling through the
open country. AS it passed a small, iso-
lated farm house the door opened, and an
old man. dressed in full uniform and hold

Diamond Fields in Canada.

From The Bu1aIO E1press
Most of the diamond fields of the world lie
in British territory. People generally will
be surprised, however, by the declaration of
a Canadian geologist that a new and undis-
covered diamond field lies in Canada, some
where between the great lakes and Hudson
bay Men of science will not be so much
surprised. Diamonds have been found in
Michigan and elsewhere, in the terminal
moraines of vanished glaciers. Evidently
the diamonds were carried to the spot by
the glaciers, and their origin evidently was
in a diamond field somewhere in the north,
whence they were torn by the ice sheets.
The theory is perfect; all that remains TO be
found is the birthplace of the diamonds.

Harry G. LenZ a dealer in surgical in

called. Objection was made to the first
question asked by counsel for state as to
whether during the month of November,
1903, surgical instrument was bought
in his place. The objection was not sus-
tanned, and counsel for defense noted an
exception. In answer to the question wit
ness stated that there was an instrument
sold to the United States Medical Insti-
tute during the month of November, 1903
The question as to whether witness made
the entry of the purchase himself was
objected to on the ground that the wit

strument himself. Quite an animated tilt
