Their Ability in Public
Life.

Somehow women Of Finland seem &c
possess a superior knack Of furthering
their ambitions
A couple Of years ago, when the
throne OF the Car toctered and little
Finland gTasped at a shadow Of an Op-
portuntty to regain lost independence.
the country called twelve women 10 its
legislative body. II developed that in
debate all these women were more than
able 10 mold their own with the men;
they were selected for committees on a
par with the male members, and II was
due to their influence that slaughter
was rot invited by openly declaring The
country to be free ana independent and
thereby calling down upon the devoted
little nation the legioHs Of the Gar.
Practically every profession aas been
open to women IN Finland vita TIE eX-
ception of the har, and now after e long
tight women are to be admitted IN an
equal footing with men.
This IS the result OF the determined
and intelligent fght OF the Woman's
Rights Association. Not content with
the simple privilege OF practicing law.
the body has extracted from the min
lister Of justice promise 70 appoint sew
eral women 20 Important posts IN his
department.

THIRTY YOUNG ONES
EAT THEIR MOTHER
Mrs. Scorpion, of New York Zoo,
Offers a Rare Example of
Self-Sacriice.
Self-Sacrihce.

NEW YORK, Sept. 15.-The busy and
learned stork. which calls at the zoo,
paid a noteworthy visit when he left
with a mother scorpion thirty little scor-
piOns, each about a quarter of an inch
long.
When the mother came out from her
comfortable quarters beneath a shady
rock she could hardly be recognized.
The thirty children had affixed them
selves to her back. tail. and claws until
they had changed the directOire figure
OF Mrs. Scorpion to a sort OF ragged
Mother Hubbard shape.
According TO the sharps who know all
about insects. the young ones will take
their meals from their mother until at
the end OF thirty days there will not be
a particle Of her left. and. in order that
the public may have the benefit of
watching this most wonderful example
OF self-sacrifice on the mothers part
she has been placed in a glass cage in
the reptile house.

Nearly eight thousand Germans, with

sided over by one Of the lustiest-lunged
Teutons that ever handled a stein; the
hot frankfurters and the cooling keg;
the German garden, where fraUs and
frauleins might rest and eat. On, it was
a great day.
The Tug of War.
without the pavilion, a band OF the
sturdiest struggled for the possession
of big rope, the game being technically
known as the tug-of-war. There was
much bullying Of blood vessels, eXcIama-
tons in German, the proverbial re
sounding thud as some bulky form slip
ped and connected with an ungiving
soil, and, finally, an announcement that
the team from the Abner-Drury Brew
cry had won the tug and incidentally a
handsome stein for each man.
