SOME IGNORANCE AND FUTI1IrY,

SOME IGNORANCE AND FUTILITK
 Of course great movement doesn't always move at the same rate of speed Sometimes it hesitates a little, and sometimes it has what seems to be a setback. But it goes on conquering and to conquer. So some things which have lately happened need glve no concern to those interested in the onward and up- ward movement of Woman. For ill- stance, in Prussia the women employees of railroads have been dispensed with as less efficient than the men, and in England Society for Putting Woman in Her Proper Place has been started Of course these performances are signi- ficant of nothing but the ignorance and futility of those guilty of them. Wom- en less efficient than men? When and where? Has not that islander just been again thoroughly refuted in this coun- try by women who know women and therefore know what they are talking about? And as for the Society for Put ting Woman in Her Proper Place, that Society will soon be put in it's proper place. Woman is already in her proper place. That is wherever she choses to be. There she will stay, and there she ought to stay She knows that it is good for the world that she should be where she wants to be and do as she wants to do, and she is determined to be good to the world. It is well that she is, and it is ill for any Society that thinks it can put her out of her proper place under the guise of putting her into 1t.

MAKERS OF CITIES.

If has dealt with the problems every city must solve in time. Before it be- gan the erection of houses it laid out streets provided a sewage system, laid down water and gas pipes, It contenl- plated that the inhabitants of the city must be fed. It provided for markets, It realized that churches in communi- ty were not only moral but police force. So 1t provided for them. It wisely judged that men must have rec reation, So theaters and concert hal and libraries were brought within the scheme. Now James J. Hill thinks he needs a new city in his business and he is going to make one. It is to be called St. James It is to be situated on Gray's Bay of the Pacific ocean, six teen miles above the mouth of the Co., lumbla river.

The Anti-Football College.

The President sat in his chair-the
 chair of Ancient Lit The Faculty sat all about as they were wont to sit; The Prof. of Mathematics counted sums
 upon his hand. The Prof of Deep Dynamics Tipped a
 bunch of rubber bands, The Prof. of Social Science rubbed a furrowed, frOwning brow; The Prof. of Mixed Psychology thought of the Then and Now. The President began to speak; his voice was mostly groan; T cannot understand why we are sit ting here alone; The term began twa weeks ago, and still within our halls There are no strident whoopings and there are no raucous calls; The bell is in the belfry and the desks are on the floor There's been no riot such as in the palmy days of yore. No husky lads have swaggered as they loitered into class, No freshmen have been ordered to go out and eat the grass; No new arrivals have been seized and chained against tree And forced to give their version of

WHY AREN'T WE HANDSOME.

Now what's the conseqence of this universal lack of exercise? Mind you, I am not suggesting that somebody get up an actual unbeatuy show, but surely MT. Comstock will not object if in our minds eye We imagine all the men we know standing on pedestals and posing as the Apollo Belvidere, and all the women we know as the Venus de Medici I think 1t would be right funny Such wizened skinninessl Such shapeless baginess!
 "Oh, but, you protest, i've can't all be Apolos and Venuses.
 We aren't, if that's what you mean, but I'm not so sure that we couldn't be if we had been treated right,
 Why aren't we all handsome, then?
 The main reason is that not one mother in thousand knows her trade. An old Irish-woman who raised five fine, big, strapping, honest sons said to me one day. "The Lord forgive me Tor SpGdlhtIl ulSlGS DGtLLbl LII 1Alllls Bul l declare to you I dunno what He's thinkin' of whin he gives some women children" And that's about so. The doctors tell us that 90 per cent of our troubles we may blame our mothers for. And yet they're not so much to blame, either. The only way they had of getting a living was catching hus- band. Once caught, they had him for life. The catching was the main thing. Ignorant they may be of their trade as mothers, and some say they are ignor- ant of their trade as wives, but nobody will accuse the women of being ignor- ant of the art and craft of catching husbands.
 The start a wise mother can give is a lot. but it isn't everything. We are too busy to be good looking. It just

cANADA,SLABoR PARIr.

Our neighbors at the north are agi- tated too. The most important deci- sion of this years convention of the Canadian Trades and Labor Congress, at Victoria, was to proceed immediate ly with the establishment of a Cana dian Labor party independent of exist ing political parties. The Socialist ele- ment, which is a power in British Co., lumbia. tried to secure control of the congress, but was defeated overwhelm- ingly The new Labor party adopted the following blanks in it's platform: Free compulsory education; a legal eight-hour day, with six days to the week; government inspection of all in- dustries the abolition of the contract system on public works: a minimum living wage based on local conditions; public ownership of all franchises such as railways, telegraphs and water works; taxation reform a lessening of the impost on ipdustrials and an in creasing of the burden on land values; abolition of child and female labor in mines, workshops, factories, etc; Chin csc exclusion; union labels on manufac- lures and all governmental and muni- cipal supplies; abolition of the Domin- ion senate; abolition of the property qualification for public office; voluntary arbitration in labor disputes; propor- tional representation with grouped con- stituencies; direct legislation through the initiative and referendum; prohbi- ton of prison labor in competition With free labor and State insurance for old age and sickness.
 This is an extensive programme, but perhaps it is well enough to claim while claiming.

Ranches in Mexico are of no mean size. Ex-Governor Terrazas, of Chihu- ahua. has seventeen million acres. The Zuloaga family is said to hold five million. Properties of one million and two million are not uncommon, Among the Americans who have large ranches may be mentioned Fleming x Ross, the Riverside Cattle company, with two million acres and a fine herd of Here fords; Phoebe Hearst, of California, who has a magnificent place west of Minaca; the Millers and the three Mormon colonies.

Esperanto will not be incorporated into the curriculum at either the naval academy or the military academy, at least during this season. It was real ized that it would be an important thing for the advocates of the universal language if she government schools at West Point and Annapolis added the study to the list of subjects taught the cadets and the midshipmen.

Sir Walter Butler, the distinguished New Zealand scientist, whose death is just recorded, had an unusually versa tile career. He began by editing pa- per in the Maori language, at twenty four he was resident magistrate, at twenty-seven a judge of the native lands court, and shortly afterward he was out fighting the rebel Maoris. He was mentioned in dispatches for gal lantry in carrying news by night through forty miles of enemy's coun- try. At thirty-three he went to London as secretary of the New Zealand agen- cy and entered as student at the in- ner temple He was one of the few in- stances of a man being made a judge before he became a barristel.

They had lively scene in court in Algiers the other day when thirty thieves were brought up for their sen- tences. The judge had just sentenced the prisoners when notorious thief flung a boot at him. It hit the presid- ing judge squarely on the nose, making the blood spurt. This was signal to the other prisoners, for Immediately a storm of boots. caps and other articles hurtled through the air. and amid the confusion the band of thieves made dash for liberty. The gendarmes had to draw their swords before order could be restored. All the prisoners were caught and lined up again before the judge, who gave them all three years more at hard labor for committing an outrage on the magistracy.
