PIGEON Setting on Hen Eggs.

Frank Snouffer has son .thing of u
curiosity in his pigeon h' nse. One of
the hens insisted on going into a
pigeon box to lay and finally a board
had to be nailed across the entrance
to keep her out But she had already
laid two eggs there, as was afterwards
found out, and the pigeon is setting
on those eggs in addition to one of
her 'ewn. The result will probably
astonish the pigeon more than the
young goslings do the mother hen
when they first take to the water. -

JAPs ARE MONGoLlkNS.
City Attorney Burke Ready tc Prove
Allegation.

San Francisco, Jan. 2S.-City At
torney Burke, who has charge of the
Japanese school question for the San
Francisco board of education, has
declared that the board has investi-
gated the subject of nationality of the
Japanese and has conclusive proof
that the Japanese are Mongolians.
Burke said:
Eminent ethnologists and, orientaf
scholars are amazed that the federal
department of justice should have
been tricked by it's Japanese advisers
into making the allegation that the
people of Nippon are in no sense Mon
golians. The government complaint
partially rests on this contention.
1--WE have made careful investiga-
ton of this question and are prepared
to show not only that there is very
large admixture of Monaghan blood in
the Japanese people but that Japanese
civilization, up to the opening OF Jap
an to foreign trade, was entirely de-
rived from Korea and China, and was
essentially Monaghan civilization.
"Our first knowledge Of the Japan
csc. dates from 900 B. c., when Jim.
moterro and his Yamato warriors ap-
peared in Nippon. No sensible Japan
ese of today believes the legend that
these warriors came from heaven. Au
thorities like DR.. julius Rein, Rev. Will.
liam Elliott Griffiths and Sir Ernest
Satow all agree that these Yamato
warriors were Mongols, kindred to
Koreans. Even if they were not Mon
gols their subsequent mixing with
Koreans and native tribes like Idzumo,
Kumaso and Emishi, all of undecided
Mongol stock, would make them large
ly Monaghan"
City Attorney Burke is also engaged
in preparing data to show that Ameri-
can citizens in Japan have been denied
all privileges that japanese are CON-
planning they have been denied here.

There was never q time In the his.
tory Of the earth when the door Of op-
portunity to the technical branches OF
the worlds work was so invitingly held
open to women as 1t Is to-day. That
the gentler sex in the United States Is
taking advantage Of this enlarged
sphere Of her activity Is very plainly
shown In the figures OF the last census.
Census reports are generally regard
ed as useful but uninteresting accu-
mutation Of facts, but while this is
true. they render no slight service In
estimating the value Of important
movements. According to the census
Of 1900 there are 805 "galnful occupa-

number women were found in POT.
leaving only eight in which. at the time
the census was taken, they were not
engaged.
To enumerate these occupations In
which woman Is not found Is to argue
that she has succeeded In getting into
nearly ali. There are, for instance no
women soldiers, sailors or marines.
Perhaps II the law was not explicit
women might be found navigating a
battleship or fighting a submarine. But
the law she had no hand In framing
says "No." When women are given the
right to vote there may be another
story to tell. Then, there are no won.

nor apprentices and helpers to roofers

1t should be noted that In the three
classes last named women thus far
have only refrained from engaging as
helpers or apprentices. though they are
found as brassworkers, steam boiler
makers and as roofers. A Delaware

ut the taking of the last census more
than 20 per cent, or 6,319,307. were en-
gagged In "gainful occupations" This
means that one and quarter millions
Of women In excess Of the number In
1890 were working at various trades
and occupations. During the decade the
number Of women had increased from
23.e00,0 GOO in 1890 to 2S.246.OO0 In 1900.
One Of the most notable increases In
the number Of workers In any single
occupation Is found In that of the stem
ographer. In 1890 there were 21,270
women thus employed. In 1900 there
were S6,11s. or 200 per cent increase
in decade. II the Increase has been
maintained at the same ratio there
must be now about $4,000 women stem
ographers In the country; or, II only
the annual average Increase has been
maintained, there are now about 125.-
600 women playing on the keys Of type
writers In various offices In the United
States.
As has been shown by the census
figures, women are pushing ahead into
almost every "gainful occupation" even
into those trades and occupations which
it had been believed were exclusively
mans heritage. There never was 80
vain dream. 1t appears, as that which
pictured any "gainful occupation" In
which women may not enter. For In
stance, In 1900 there were two women

Women in general do not succeed In
manly occupations any better than men
do, but the percentage Of success may
be said to be greater In certain fields.
One reason for the triumph Of the mod
ern woman in the field Of mans work
Is to be found In the care she usually
takes to ct herself for her chosen 0ccu-
patton, and the seriousness with which
she takes herself leads to determine
ton to succeed that simply cOmpels
success.

When he had finished President
Blyth called on Senator Foraker. The
senator did not disappoint his audi

that he had convictions of his own on

did not look like another to him, and
that he considered his senatorial oath
