PLUCKY WOMAN TRAVELLER.

Globetrotter Has Many Unique Ex-
~periences In Foreign Lands.
This much-traveled young woman Is
Miss Edna Glenn, Of Philadelphia, the
Toledo News-Bee says.
Her latest foreign trip included the
Philippines, Japan and China, and a
trip across Siberia, from V~ladivostok
to Moscow. /
This Siberian journey she took by
rail, but entirely alone, much to the
anxiety Of her friends. Miss Glenn
declares, however, that she never tray
eled more luxuriously, the long Rus
sian train being equipped with every
comfort and convenience (save. per-
haps, that Of heat). There was even a
tearoom and a library, to which pas
sengers had access.
Although the trip was made as early
as September and many wild flowers
were still in bloom, It was so cold
that passengers had to wrap them
selves up in al many coats as they
possessed, and the snow fences were
already being put up aleng the rail
road.
While passing through Nanchuria
the train was a1ned with guards
one at the end Of each ear-to protect
against the Manehurian bandits that
infest hat country, AID who are. for
the most part, escaped eonvicts.
The villages through whieA the
train passed were mere groups Of
wooden shacks and the people were
clothed IN rags.
But it was after ersssing the RAs.
sian border, Miss Glenn says. that she
vas most fercibly struck With the hor-
: Of the peasants degraded eondi-
ton.
It was while in Japan that Miss
Glenn took another journey alone,
which was OF \ still more adventurous
nature.
Accompanied only by q japanese
maid, this fearless young woman set
put on an expedition to Fujiyama, to
see the great volcanic mountain mir
rored In the lake at It's foot.
Miss Glenn soon found, however,
hat she must be parted even from
the company Of her maid, 1t being
necessary for the latter to travel in
a kago, or small, box-shaped carriage,
carried by coolies, while she herself
must go on horseback, with a single
coolie as her guide and attendant.
Another of her unique experiences
was Miss Glenn's eve months resi-
dence on board q United States moni.
tor, in . harbor at the Philippines,
considerably removed from civiliza-
ton. She wa there as the guest Of
the commanding omcer and his wife,
and did everything but sleep. literally

comfort in the submerged portion OF

government, and only twelve officers have held the rank
Of lieutenant general. With the retirement Of Lieuten-
ant General Macarthur, on account of age, on June 2,
the rank was discontinued.
It is on account of the sma1lness Of the army that
officers Of high rank have seldom been appointed to
command 1t. The European armies, with their field
n arsha1s and generals, are large enough to warrant the
permanent organization with commanders of all grades
At the time Of the Mexican war Major General Scott
was the only officer Of that rank in the whole Ameri-
can army. 1t was not till 1855 that he received the
brevet rank Of lieutenant general Washington was
the only other officer who prior to that time had held
the rank.
When Grant was made lieutenant general in 1854 he
was really the first officer to hold that rank while In &C.
tual command OF the armies of the nation in time of war.
Grant was promoted to the higher rank Of general in
1866. His successors we're Sherman and Sheridan. When
Sheridan died In 1888, two months after he was made
general, the rank OF general and lieutenant general
ceased, and the lower rank was not revived till twelve
years later. when Major General Miles was made lieu
tenant general. The grade has continued for the past

OF THOSE WHO WALK ALONE.

Women there are on earth, most sweet and high.
Who lose their own, and walk bereft and lonely
Loving that one lost heart until they die.
Loving 1t only.
And so they never see beside them grow
Children, whose coming is like breath of flo RS;
Consoled by subtler loves the angels know
Through childless hours.
Good deeds they do; they comfort and they bless
In duties others put of till the morrow;
Their look is balm. their touch is tenderness
To all In sorrow.
Betfmes the world smiles at them, as 1t were shame,
This maiden guise, long after youths departed;
But In Gods book they bear another name
"The faithfu-hearted."
Faithful In life, and faithful unto death.
Such souls, in sooth, Hume with luster splendid
That glimpsed, glad land wherein the vision saith,
Earth's wrongs are ended.

The statement is made that the department s estab-

subject to be studied.
In the large cities, particularly, the most casual OBJ
server has noted the trend Of medical thought. The
Health Department has become an educator OF the PEG
ple. It's officials have carried the idea into many a
household that a large share Of the diseases Of hu-
manity may be prevented. The value of fresh air has
been emphasized. The Importance Of cleanliness has
been urged again and again. The necessity OF careful
attention to little details Of household administration
has been kept constantly in view. Sometimes the Gym

has shown that an immediate reduction OF the numoef
Of flies has followed the cleaning up of rubbish heaps
the removal of manure piles and the adoption OF sani
tary methods in stables and other places where organic
filth is liable to accumulate. The protection OF inc
fv from infection in turn requires the screening of sick
rooms and scrupulous care in the disposal OF wastes OF

Of flies to food supplies, whether in the house or IN the
market.
