HAVE YOU MATING
ON YOUR FLOORS2

lie you have used it for any length
of time you no doubt feel that mat
ting is not exactly the cleanliest or
healthiest thing you could use. Damp
air often makes the odor of mating
unpleasant. And mating is so widely
used that to have it on your floors
makes them look common. From an
Eastern manufacturer we have secured
a substitute for mating. It does no.
cost much more to put down than mat
ting and makes your rooms look cosy
and comfortable. It will wear and look
well longer than mating and unless
you are very familiar with the goo Is

HUNGARY HAS LOST ME
 LIONS. {

While the history of Hungarian emicra- ton reaches back into the fifteenth cen tury, it has never attained such dimen- sions as in the last few decades. In the early days 1t was directed principally to- wards the- neighboring lands of Austria, Roumania and Bukovina, In the last of which there are still five Magyar villages. Magyars migrating to Roumania. on the other hand, are always absorbed in a short time into the life of the country. In the two decades from 1881 to 1900 the migration from Hungary has amounted to 2S0,0o0 souls, or 2-3 per cent. of the total population. Down to the present day the current of emigration in the eastern coun- ties has been directed to Roumania; in the southern counties to Bosnia and Ser via; in the western counties to Austria
 and only from the northern counties has It found its way mostly to this country
 To specify the highest relative add the greatest absolute drainage of pop iIation in the different administrative districts the county of Saros has in the course o1 these 20 years lost by emigration 26 per \esnt.

 In Washington is one of the few horse back monuments ever erected to the memory of the foremost military leader of his day. The equestrian statue of shington-conspicuous even in a city that boasts more such statues than any other community on the Continent-was produced by Clark Mills, and was cast from cannon captured from the British in the War of 1872 General Washington. dressed in Continental uniform, is repre- sented as witnessing the battle of Prince ton. His horse Is shrinking before the shot, but the General is unmoved by the danger. The horse represented in this statue was modelled from one captured from q wild herd on the prairie near Fort Leayenworth, Kan.
 The White House has It's memorials to George Washington, but they are in the form of paintings. The best known of these is the full-length likeness which was long supposed to be from the brush of the famous artist Gilbert stuart but is now known to be copy by an English painter. This Is sometimes known as the ''Lans- down Stuart from the fact that the painting of which it is facsimile was made for the Marquis of Lansdowne. This

SHOULD THERE BE WOMEN
 DOCTORS?

It is generally, if not universally, agreed that women make better nurses than men 1; they are more gentle, more tender and are lighter of touch and apparently much bet ter able to give their sympathy in cases where 1t is likely to be helpful. Seeing that so much is granted, why should any reasonable person oppose women who would go just one step further and become fully qualified medical practitioners2 Is 1t logical to favor women as nurses and to reject them as doctors?
 The man in the street says that women have not the necessary physical strength and the requisite nerve for the position. But this is not true; women have both strength and nerve enough for the work One of the greatest living surgeons in London recently personally visited the New Hospital, in Euston road, and has witnessed a number of important opera tions performed by women surgeons. and he has told the medical world that the operations were cleverly and successfully carried out. It is q mistake to suppose that great physical strength is necessary to q successful surgeon. The best sur geons of the day are not, generally speak ing, particularly strong men. Nerve and coolness and resource and quickness oi perception, keen observation, much pa tience and self-confidence are essentia qualities, and woman has these in com mon with man.
 Women doctsfs are especially to be rec commended for children. Who would moi understand nervous little girl crying bitterly because she has to pay visil to n man doctor for the purpose of being examined and treated? How much easiei and how much more natural for the chiio to be taken to woman doctor!

 In 1857 there were only 53,000 Hun garians dwelling in Austria, whereas In the year 1900 there were more than 2I0,- GOO: 100000 of them in Vienna alone. The emigration to America has set in only since the eighteenth century, and in 1841 the Hungarians founded In the State of Wisconsin the colony of Harasztyfalu, which now, as Sauk City has long lost all trace of Magyar character. Not till 1877 did the emigration assume large propor- tions. It was directed specially to Penn sylvania, New York and New Jersey, and that in consequence of strikes among American workers.
 The volume of emigration attained It's first maximum from 1886 to 1892 and Its second In the years subsequent to 1899. since which date Hungarians, by their cheap, unskilled labor, have busted other workers in various departments of Indus try, as example, in the coalfelds of Penn sylvania. The Hungarian ranks, there fore, among the less liked of American immigrants, and the prohlbitiye measures put in force against objectionable immi- grafton are aimed in part directly at Hun garians.

THE ENERGY DEVELOPED BY
 EARTHQUAKES.

pr. R. von Kovesligethy, of Budapest Hungary, Is responsible for an ingeniou. calculation of the work done by great earthquakes. Starting from the. coinci- dence between periods of rapid displace. ment of the positions of the poles and the frequency of large earthquakes, and as suming that this Is not mere coinci. dence. but a relationship between the two, he finds that the irregularities in the movement of the poles represent ar amount of work equal to the raising of 6 mass equal to that of the earth. We may carry thIs calculation little further and find that the work done spasmodically by three earthquakes represent seventy-tivs billion (75.000 ,OO0, ,000l horsepower working continually night and day.

to Washington in the form of an immense painting showing the surrender at York town The canvas, which is a copy by Lacroisade of Couder's famous picture at the Chateau de Versailles, was sent to this country by the French government only few years ago.
 Perhaps, after all, however, the most fitting of all the memorials to George Washington Is found in Mount Vernon, the home and tomb of the Father of His country located on the Virginia shore of the Potomac River 16 miles south of the city of Washington, and which ranks next to the national capital and Niagara Falls as the greatest tourist mecca in America. The mansion. or residence, at Mount Yer non is now In charge of the Mount Yer non Ladies' Association, it having been purchased by the nation in 1860, when the sum of S200O00 was raised by popular subscription for the purpose. To this shrine of patriotism have been brought an invaluable collection of mementoes, sacred from association with Washing tons private life and public career, the whole constituting probably the most im- pressiye of all tributes to the hero of Valley Forge.

is a -you-please as to rumors. Judge
Parker and Mr.. Jerome lunched together
yesterday, and forthwith we are told that a
new political party Is forming and they are
to lead it. Both have blood in their eye for
Tammany, which has never liked Mr.. Je-
rome and opposed Judge Parker's nominal
ton for President last year. On the other
hand, we are asked to believe that Judge
Parker is acting a peacemaker, and
hopes to be able to bring Tammany to the
support of Mr.. Jerome for district attorney.
