Albany, N. Y. - Bishop William
Croswell Doane, in his address to the
graduating class of St. Agnes School
bitterly attacked the new woman In
her efforts to do mans work, and de-
nounced the woman suffrage cam
paign as a "hysterical clamOr en-
ployed in the pursuit of this CHI
mera."

misery and confusion worse c%onfOund-

make the two the same. The mascu-

bearded women or a long haired man,
is a lusus naturae, a monstrum hor-
rendum informe. So, first, you are
to keep and guard as a sacred trust
your womanhood, your femineness.

Bill is no idle bo~aster, but has a
quiet sense of humor that just sticks
out all over him, and, when he falter-

asked his age, he admitted to &c

London.-It is not easy to explain
how grave a factor in modern civili-
cation the ,aeroplane has become in
the estimation Of all European gov
ernments. The question seriously
discussed in all the chancelleries is:
Will the aeroplane end war or will
it first destroy the present system of
international relationship?
It is now freely admitted by many
high authorities that within perhaps
three or four years airships will DOM

MANY new things are proposed
with regard to government nowadays
that require cool heads to consider,
to adopt or to reject. The street cor
ner and the saloon are not as safe
forums as the farmers fireside when
public questions are acute.
"The coming millions that will
find homes on this hemisphere will
look to agriculture to feed and clothe
them. Manufacturing industries will
exnect to be fed cheaply. Commerce
will look to the soil for traffic. The
banker will look to the fields to give
life to enterprise and maintain the
balance of trade, and the educated
farmer will be the ~wellspring of all
these movements"

to do is to give her plenty of money. l do not believe tnat

that half a dozen aeroplanes in evil
hands could destroy London.
England has at last an aeroplane
that can fly, but it is a mystery that
has set the whole country wondering.
It flies only at night and it has been
seen at widely different places in the
vicinity of Peterborough. Nobody
knows from whence it comes.
Stead has a sensational article in

N New York nearly all the tall office buildings have their
foundations on the quicksand, in it, or under it, and as a
rule they are more difficult, dangerous and costly to build
than anywhere else in the world. 1t is required to provide
absolutely safe separate supports for from fifty to a hundred
columns, fifteen or twenty feet apart, each carrying loads of
from 100 to 1000 tons. Thirty feet below the surface the
sand is found compressed to a hard, dense mass which. I'M

The two women had left the other
friends of Mrs. Deming SO as to have
a quiet little chat by themselves. They
sat on either side of the desk under
which the burglar was stretched and
exchanged condolences. They spoke Of
many things dear to women's hearts
and meant only for their ears. The
burglar was growing uneasy. but the
two women didn't know it. Being un-
aware of his presence. they continued
their little chat.
Being entirely unused to hearing the
private conversations of women Of re-
finement and also being possessed with
anxiety to finish his business in the
house as quickly as possible, the bur-
glar tried to remain patient while the
