The Vocation of the Wife.

z s. Martin In Harper's Bazaar: Now
the occupation OF being a wife, including
presumptively, as 1t does, the occupation
Of being a mother, Is one Of extremely
comprehensive scope. Some women who
seem not to have had very much educa-
ton do very we'll at 1t. and some women
who have been profusely educated make
pretty bad work Of It. II is a calling in
which health goes for more h accom-
plishments, that phase Of wisdom which
We call "gumption" for more than learn
Ing, instinct for much, and character for
most OF all. But you cannot o~vereducate
a girl for the occupation Of being a wife.
You may keep her too long at her books
and out Of what we call society you
may teach her TO value unduly things of
minor Importance; you may misdirect and
niseducate her In various ways: but you
can't educate her to think so wisely on so
many subjects that she win be above that
business.
Nobody is really SO superior as to be too
to marry. Plenty Of women are too
good TO marry this or that or the other
man: too many women, perhaps.
In these days, are educated beyond the
point OF being satisfied with any man who
IL likely TO want to marry them, but the
woman who seems too good for human
natures daily food" hasn't been over
educated. The trouble with her Is that
she doesn't know enough. She La not over

Albany, Feb. 13.-The question OF the spoliaton of
Niagara Falls by power companies came up in the
Assembly tonight when the Democratic leader,
Mr. Palmer, introduced a joint resolution me
morializing the President and Congress 10 enter
into negotiations with the British government TO

last year but the point of Mr. Palmer's resolution
was contained in reference to a bill now before

using water from Niagara River. This reference
charged that this DILL designed TO legalize the
taking OF water. and was as follows:

General Kurokis Headquarters, Feb. 13.-The
japanese artillery which has seldom replied to
the Russian bombardment during the last three
months. has become more active, and artillery
duels along some portions of the front occur al
most daily.
The exceedingly cold weather Of the last fort
night has been followed by mild and sunny
weather. and the snow is melting rapidly. Alto
gether, the winter has been much less severe
than expected.
The japanese have endured the cold as well as
the Russians. While there has been much suf-
fering on the OutDosts where it was impossible
TO keep fires, and much suffering during the
fighting, sickness among the troops has steadily
decreased, and there is probably less sickness
than any other large army in the field has ever
experienced at any season.
