The Rear 6uIaE

The duchess of Roxburghe, who was
Miss May Goelet Of New York, has
taken up the prevalent craze to collect
animals and she is building a minia-
ture zoo at Floors castle. In fact, the
duchess, a masterful little lady, has
everything she wants. One of the
dukes tenants, wishing some conces-
sion, went to the castle and told his
errand to an old retainer, adding that
he would like to see the master in
person, "Eh, mon," retorted the aged
servant, who is not entirely reconciled
to the new order of affairs, there is
only ae master in this hoose thae
times and that's no the duke. Y0

The proof of the merits of a plaster
Is the cures it effects, and the volun-
tary testimonials of those who have
used Allcock's Plasters during the
past sixty years is unimpeachable
evidence of their superiority and
should convince the most skeptical.
Self-praise is no recommendation, but
certificates from those who have used
them are.
Allcock's are the original and gen.
uine porous plasters and have never
been equaled by those who have
sought to trade upon their reputation
by making plasters with holes in
them. Avoid substitutes as you would

Here are some statistics of the
Women's university in st. Petersburg,
one of the many in Russia-for there
are similar universities in nearly all
the larger cities, Moscow, Kiev, Odes-
sa, Kharkov and others:
In 1900 there were SS3 women
graduates from the St. Petersburg
Women's university. Recently there
were more than 993 students; 678
were in the history or philology class
es, 315 were taking the physics
mathematics course. The classes
represented in this number of about
900 women were 600 daughters of
mobiles and government employees, As
priests daughters. 1872 of the bour-
,geoisie 20 peasant girls and Is wives
of students. OF this number 2 were
French, 1 German, 13 Bulgarians, 2
Americans, 2 Austrians, l English, 2
PruSsians.
According to religious denomina-
tions it is interesting to note that
S98 were orthodox Greek, 80 Luther
ans, 19 Catholics, Reform Church
of England, 7 Armenian Greeks, 1
Karaim Jew and 30 Jews.
OF what became of these women
graduates of 1900 it was stated re-
Gently that 26 were still pursuing
their scientific work, there were 80
teachers, one was in the meteorolog-
ical observatory, two were in gov
ernment laboratories, two were fol
lowing literary careers, one in
railway office, one in library and
20 lived at home with their parents.
OF the rest no record has been kept
y In the orthodox church there are
no women priests, and there are no
law schools for women in Russia.
Looking at the question closely,
the American woman's opportunity
reaches farther, embracing as it does
all occupations and trades The key
note of the Russian woman's influ-
ence and power seems to me to be
expressed in these words of Ruskin,
in speaking of the true quality of
the sexes: THE happiness and per-
fection of both depends on each ask
ing and receiving from the other
what the other only can give"

1t was through the energy and in
fiuence Of the few that the education
of women in the broad sense was be-
gun. The strides in educational fa-
cilities in Russia may be understood
by few statistics given in an inter
teresting paper recently read by Nine.
Bartevna, on the education of wom-
en- in Russia. She gets her data
principally from a work entitled
Material About Womens Education
in Russia" by Nine E. o. Lerhachef,
which work received honorable men,
ton from the imperial academy.
The paper begins with the popular
movement toward the education Of
women in 1850 to 1861 stimulated by
Grand Duchess Helena Pavlovna
and Baroness Raden In 1857 the
first woman's gymnase was founded
at Kostroma. Before this there were
schools called NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. still
existing of a higher order, where the
daughters of families of certain por-
ton are educated for a very small
sum, the highest price being 400
rubles, or 200 American dollars, a
year, including board.
The Oldest and most aristocratic Of
these institutions in St. Petersburg
was founded by Catherine the Great.
Thus an extremely thorough educa-
tion has been given vast numbers of
Russian women of the upper classes
for more than a century.
In 1859 followed the opening Of
the first free school for women by
an engineer, Koscihsky, and in 1859
what were called Sunday schools for
girls of the poorer classes who had
no other leisure, were founded by
Nine. Schpiegelsky.
Very soon followed the opening Of
public schools in certain villages for
the coeducation of peasant boys and
girls after the liberation of the serfs.
The percentage of girls sent to these
schools was / to 800. At present there
are more than 1857 43O girls in these
public schools. In st. Petersburg
alone there are eight high schools for
girls.

Russian diplomat, who is in charge of his

and who formerly was first secretary of
the Russian embassy in Washington, is
an American woman who was educated
abroad and has resided much in Europe
While in Paris studying the language and
cultivating her voice, Mime. de Wollant
developed so strong histrionic talent
that all arrangements were quickly made
for her debut on the stage Her work
there was a success and by many she

Under the master hand Of civiliza-

The Russian woman has absolute
control of her affairs and property,
and female land owners of certain
areas of land vote by power of at
torney in the zemstvo. This is the
local administration, whose duties are
to keep roads and bridges in order
and provide means of conveyance for
the rural police and other officials; to
elect justices of the peace; to look
after primary education and sanitary
affairs; to watch the state of the
crops and take means against ap-
preaching famine, and to undertake
within certain limits whatever seems
likely to increase the material and
moral well-being Of the population.
Travelling in Russia, observe that
the Russian woman takes the initia-

call the porter, taking his number and
experimenting the family descent
from the train. She manages the
family and servants, demonstrates if
the food does not suit or if the bills
are exorbitant or the service bad.
She seems to be the inspiration and
guide everywhere and calls to mind
the first women of Russian legend,
"who strobe across the steppes with
an air that raised them above the
masculine element"
Valishefsky, in his book on Rus
sian literature, maintains that Ger
tain features of the legendary type
appear even in the most recent ar
tistic creations Of poetry and ro-
