RAJ Federation Of Women's Clubs in st. Paul
recently was a collection Of model baby
clothes, and the ~liveliest session was that
at which the women ran up against the SER
van problem and raved about having to pay
IS, $40 and $12 a week to bride girls into
their kitchens.
Fifteen hundred delegates had come from
Maine and California, from South Carolina
and Idaho. The railroad people calculated
that they brought in all about 2 5000 women
to st. Paul. They had lectures on the
novel and the civil service and pure food
and legislation fired at them.
They listened to sermons concocted
especially for their benefit. They were
received and picnicked, taken on auto and
trolley cars around the Twin Cities, they
had an armory to meet in and the second
best State Capitol building to exhibit in.
And the two things hat struck home pre-
eminently were the baby's model layette
and the eternal servant girl problem.
Yet there are people who mutter Race
suicide!" when they hear of women's clubs
and talk about the emancipated club wom-
an as q home wrecker!

to bring the matter to the attention Of Con.

while the women propose securing the
cooperation OF club women in as many
other States as possible.
To ascertain the sentiment Of the men,
bers present as to the woman most worthy
to nave tho honor Of having her picture
used a straw vote was taken. Susan B
Anthony was an easy winner, but Martha
Washington, Frances Willard. Harriet
Beecher Stowe, Mrs. Sarah Platt Decker
Of Denver, the president Of the National
had supporters.
The Denver women believe they are
entitled to be regarded as leaders Of the
movement, not only because of their present
activity in the matter but also because in
this State the women's rights cause has
taken deeper root than in almost any other.
Not only do the women of Colorado vote in
school and municipal elections, as is the
case with their sisters in a number of other
States, bu t they also vote for President and
me mbers of Congress.
At one time they were represented in

They are recognized as a factor to- be
considered in campaigns and many Of their
number have developed into influential
political leaders. The Woman's Club here,
the leading organization maintained by
members Of the sex, occupies one Of the
handsomest clubhouses in the West.
The idea Of a women's postage stamp
is not strictly original, but the present plan
goes further than any ever before proposed.
France has a women's stamp, but this is
placed upon a letter alongside the regular
Government stamp and not as a substitute
for it. The Government stamp represents
a young woman resting her hand upon a
table which bears a motto, Rights Of Man.

GREAT WOMAN OF THE ORIENT.
Hatshepsu. Who Was Crowned . King OF
EEyDt,

One Of the greatest works Of archaeology
cal exploration Of recent years is that which
the Egypt Exploration Fund has been for
more than ten years engaged upon-the
clearing and partial restoration Of the great
temple Of Amen and Hathor at Dier-el-
Bahari, near Thebes. There were two
temples at Dier-el- Ba hari, the older the
funeral temple Of King Menthuetep III. Of
the Twelfth Dynasty, about B. G. 25oo, the
later the splendid fame erected by the great
Queen Hatshepsu about B. c. 1900.
This latter temple Is the one on which SO
much time and money have been expended.
The outlay has not been wasted, for we
have restored to us he memorials OF the
life and deeds Of one. Of the most remark
able women the Orient has ever produced,
writes w. st. Chad Boscawen in the London
Globe, and one who from her resemblance
in mental capacity and enterprise to our
own Virgin Queen may be ftly styled the
Elizabeth Of Egypt.
The daughter Of Thothmes I. by his
beautiful wife, Queen Aahmes, she was
early associated with her father, and on
the walls OF the birth chamber OF the temple
we see the scenes representing her birth
as a divine incarnation of her father, Amen
Ra. All monarchs Of the great Theban
dynasties were supposed to be children Of
Amen. On another wall is depicted the
ceremony Of her coronation as King, for
she assumed male attire, even d false beard,
and used all the kingly titles in her inscrip-
tons:
One very important series Of sculptures
is that which represents the return Of the
great naval expedition which she sent to
the incense producing land of Punt, prob
ably Somalland, which, under Nashi, her
Admiral, the Raleigh Of the period, returns
laden with rich treasure and strange animals,
birds and plants. The new volume on the
exploration which has Just been issued
by the exploration fund contains some
very interesting matter, for il relates to
the shrine OF Amen-Ra and the f%oreoourt,
all of which were richly decorated with
sculptures.
The shrine, which consisted of two rooms,
was entered by a lofty. granite doorway,
and on either side Of the door are repre-
sensations Of the a queen, wearing
the crowns of upper and lower Egypt. A
specially interesting scene here represents
the Queen being brought before Amen.
and the god Thoth, or Hermes. acts as
priest, and introduces her with a curious
address:
"She salutes thee; she speaks Ito thee).
She oools thee with water, she gives thee
incense. The double lie satisfied when
she fumigates thee with the eye OF thy
own body, her incense. o. Amen, lord Of
the thrones Of the two lands, when thou
resteth in thy abode. where thy beauties

persons enjoy swimming lessons, strange
to say, whether in a tank or In the ocean
What every woman given to aquatic recrea-
tons ought to do Is to get the swimming
movements down 30 perfectly that she can
use them as naturally as she uses her two
feet In walking; and she can do this in her
bedroom as well as In the water-better at
first, although maybe teachers Of swimming
nay not care to have me say 30.
Il don't mean to say that even when
learned these movements ought not to be
practised in the water. No, indeed. No
one can learn to swim by not going near the
water.
what l do mean is this: say that two
women are upset in deep water. One Of
them has learned the six principal SWIM
ming movements, the other Is utterly igno-
rant of them, Surprising the first woman
very doubtful, she will have a good chance
Of keeping afoat until rescued; the other will
have no chance at all, provided the rescuer
Is slow in arriving.
aIt's quite worth while then, it seems
to me, for any one to practise these move
it up for n month, by which time they
would be as easily managed as sitting down
on a chair and getting up again. The only
apparatus needed is q small stand or table
about twelve or fourteen inches in diameter.
At first don't use the table. For a week
or ten days it is better to practise with the
arms only in q standing position.
The first of the three arm movements
is to bring the elbows close to the side,
spread the hands out fiat and place them
together about eight inches in front Of the
body. The second movement is to throw
the hands out straight in front OF the chest
as far as they will GO. The third movement
separates the hands and brings the arms
straight out on a line with the shoulders.
The three movements in fact are really
one continuous sweep OF the arms-the
hands in the chest position being thrown
to the front, then sweeping. as far apart
as possible to the right and left.
After this movement is mastered begin
which the middle OF the body must rest
on the small table. This leaves the arms
and legs free to wiggle.
1To match the first arm movement bend
the body at the waist and bend the knees to
bring the feet up to almost a line with the
back-in a V shape, 80 to speak. At the Sec
ond movement shoot the legs out straight
to match the hand movement, at the same
time separating them as far as possible,
bringing the feet back again to touch as
the arms shoot out from the sides In the
third movement. Then as the arms come
back to the first position again the legs
drop to the V shape.
Naturally without the sustaining power
Of a body Of water these leg movements
are more difficult, more tedious than when
practised under ordinary conditions. On
the other hand, the absence of nervousness
and scare helps a woman to catch on to
them more readily than II taught in the
regular way

WHAT NIAGARA COSTS US.
It's Expenses Put Mt Sl22, 500, 900 and Fifty
Million Tons OF Coal Annually,

Million Tons OF Coal Annually,
Fl. W. Buck, an engineer writing for the
Outlook, makes out that We ave an ex-
pensive luxury in Niagara Falls.
The total hydraulic energy OF the Falls,
says Mr.. Buck, would represent about
S,50o,ooo horsepower. To generate one
horsepower continuously for a year by a
steam engine requires about thirteen tons
of coal
To generate, therefore, continuously
$500, 900 horsepower by steam would re-
cuire about SC, 900, 900 ons Of coal per year.
To generate electric power by steam with
the most modern steam plant costs not less
than $50 a horsepower a year, allowing
for fixed charges and operating expenses.
Niagara power can be generated and sold
in large quantities for SIS a horsepower
a year, OF for $sS a horsepower a year less
than is possible from the use Of coal and
the steam engine.
From the above it will be seen that il all
the hydraulic energy Of the Falls were util-
lied for power purposes there would result
to the country an annual saving Of ss5 a
horsepower for $500, 900 horsepower, or
1922, 500, 900, and in addition there would be
an annual saving in coal consumption Of
sc, O0O, 900 tons
These figures illustrate what II costs the
people Of this continent annually to main
tain Niagara Falls as a spectacle. They
represent the saving to those who would
consume the power, and not the profit Of
those who might W the power develop
ments.
This waste involved in prohibiting the
development of Niagara power might be
likened to a great confiagration in which
so, 900, 900 tons Of coal were annually con-
sumed. Such a confiagration might be
one of the most magnificent sights in the
parts to view It, but the human race would
certainly be justified in using every effort
to stop the waste by putting outthe fra

ENCOURAGEMENT FOR 'RAsTUs.
Avermont Story OF Bishop Hall and q Negro

Avermont Story OF bishop Hall and q Negro
Who Wanted TO Join the Church.
At a recent dinner which was attended
by a number Of clergymen President
Buckham of the University Of Vermont
told the following Of Bishop Hall Of the
Episcopal diocese Of Vermont, in response
to some good natured chat abou the
liberal views Of the Congregational Church
and the ease with which almost anybody
could join it.
He said he had heard Of a negro who had
many times applied for membership in st.
Paul's Church at Burlington, but had not
been able to satisfy the Bishop that his
state Of mind entitled him to admission.
The negro had been advised to pray that
his spiritual condition might improve.
After doing so he made a new application.
The Bishop said to him:
well. Erastus. have you prayed as told
you to?'
