WOMEN IN QUEER PROFESSIONS.
New Fields Opened for the Enter
 prise of the Fair Sex.

New Fields Opened for the Enter
 prise of the Fair Sex.
 The mere fact that women 'sdo things signifies that they have lost their old occupation, fact which can not be concealed by the problems of bridge or the problems of Bridget. the Delineator says.
 The inventive faculty, commonly and properly supposed to be masculine, is most naturally directed to domestic advantage when possessed by a wo- man. A new mechanical device for woman's work basket, invented by a woman. is less surprising to-day than was the fact that Mrs. Nancy M John son of Washington was the first person to take out patent for an ice cream freezer, in 1S43, selling the rights for $41, 300; yet both of these inventions pertain to woman's traditional occupa- tions. The broom has been an accept ed symbol of woman's sovereignty in all ages. but Mrs. Bissell has found a successful business career, not by sweeping cobwebs from the sky, but with the purely mundane carpet sweeper.
 The Business Mems League of New Orleans has given to Miss Kate M. Gordon a gold medal in recognition of her services to the city as president of the women's Drainage and Sewer League. It was largely through the efforts of Miss Gordon that the women of New Orleans got tax suffrage, and, as president of the Drainage and Sew craze League, she is said to have cast more votes than any other citizen of the United States. The women, if they so prefer may vote by proxy. Miss Gordon, it is declared, cast more than 100 of these proxy votes.
 The latest developments mark the new day by completely ignoring the economic traditions of woman. Women are serving as guides in Maine; there is woman wireless operator, Mrs R. H. Tucker. on steamship on Puget Sound; Captain Mary B. Green is pilot on the Ohio and Mississippi riv- CTS; the granddaughter of Elizabeth Cady Stanton and the daughter of Mrs. Harriot Stanton Blatch is civil and hydraulic engineer, member of the American Society of Civil Engineers.

nred. The ca:s ana dogs sustained no injury from the concussion. although the former were somewhat shaken by the contact with the latter once or twice. Then few midshipmen were put in the turrei and again. ths big guns were fired, and again with 10 bad results. Then, to make a final and permanent test of the matter, three tough old rear admirals were put in and fired over. and when they came out all right the principle was held to be established that heavy guns could be fired in an engagement over a neighboring turret without any dis tress to the inmates, That test has been of incalculable value to our navy. and as a consequence the two new ships will be so arranged that they can fire four of their huge guns ahead or astern.
 The 14-incn rifle weighs 63.5 tons. or j39,TOO pounds. With turret and mount each turret of the new ships. including the two guns. will weigh about 500 tons. About as much more is 10 be credited in weight to the ar morplate. It is calculated that the 26,000-ton ship will carry ten 14-inch guns without difficulty. Remember that in the matter of ammunition the increase of weight is as the cube of the calibre. Where the 12-inch gun throws a proIectile weighing 800 pounds. these monster guns will hurl a shell weighing 1.4OO pounds. This calls for storage capacity and weight carrying ability in the new ships. But the 14-inch guns are made so that

KEEPERS OF THE HAwAus.
Conditions on the Island of MO1O- kai Have Been MisunderstOOd.

kai Have Been MisunderstOOd.
 No greater miseonception of any public institution prevails to-day than the general idea of the leper settle ment on the island of Molokai, R. B. Kidd says in Harper's Weekly. h. stead of the entire island being used for such purpose, the settlement com prises only eight square miles of a total area of 261 square miles. It oc- cupies a tongue of land on the north ern side of Molokai The north, east and west shores of this tiny spot are washed by the Pacific, while on the south side rise precipitous cliffs of from 1900 to 4,OOO feet, which make the isolation seem even more hopeless than the beautiful deep-blue waters of the sea ever could The most difficult and dangerous trail. constantly manned by government guards, foils escape, if it were ever contemplated by the land side.
 Naturally the fear of being isolated at the settlement caused the natives to thwart segregation. Generally i: was done by secreting their afflicted. yet there are instances of lepers us- ing violence to resist arrest The ne cessity of severing ties of the strong est affection involved grief of the deep est description. and many are the cases of abnegation where the clean have accompanied the afflicted to the settlement to die there with them. Then. too. by degrees there grew. up the belief among the natives that ter rible mistakes of diagnosis by the physicians were consigning innocent and helpless people to the living sepul- cher. And as each year failed to eradi- cate the disease as had been represent ed. but still claimed its toll, the belief became almost universal that larger proportion of those committed were sacrifices to the despotism and ig- norance of the white mans medical science that boasted but could not cure
 By degrees, as the government real ized the inability of the afflicted to care for themselves. conditions were improved, until finally the authorities took entire charge of the lepers. and today the appropriations for the main tenance and care of these wards are most generous and exceed $125.00O an. nually.

DAKoTA's MIXED MARRIAGE

Unions of White Men anG indinn
 Women Not Crowned Upon.
 In the Dakotas when a white man weds an aboriginal woman and public ly acknowledges her as his wife he provides her with as good a home and clothing as he can afford. and he treats her as he would treat white woman. He sees to it that she learns to cook, to sew and to keep house. and in other ways tries to educate and uplift her.
 Still more interesting :s the fact that these mixed marriages involve little or no social disability. The white husbands are rarely. if ever, barred from associations with the whites be cause of their wives.
 To be sure, man knoxA to be liv- ing with an Indian woman who is without benefit of clergy" is. as a rule, in the language of one White River plainsman. "purty nigh ostrich ize6." But this would be true if he were known to be maintaining simi- lar relations with a white woman.
 Such loose-hitched tie-ups used to be kind O common around here," said
  my White River maL. according to writer iR Everybody's. "and nobody thought much about 'en.. But there's so many schoolma'ams come out here from New England and other places that folks don't stand for that sort O thing no more"
 Legally married lndlan wives pay no more social penalty than do their white husbands. Generally, the little red hen sticks to her home and does not go out with her white husband for a social evening as often as would wife of her own race. But this Is largely a matter of Indian tempera- Ment.

How Britisi SOvereiEn'S Meals Are
 Prepared by $IO,OOO Chef.
 Mir. MenageT, the head cook at Buck ingham palace. occupies an important post in the royal household. His sal ary is sl0.O00 per annum and he is recognized as being one or the greatest culinary artists in the world The royal kitchen and the whole kitchen stan are under his complete control.
 Opening off the main kitchen at oLe side of it are half dozen smaller kitchens. and on the other side there are four offices, where the clerical work in connection with the kitchen department are attended to One of these offices is MT Menager's private room.
 MT. Menager does not live in suck inghara palace. but has his private residence close to it. On arriving at the palace-usually about II o'clock in the morning-his first care is to in spect tho lunch menu for that day. which has been prepared by his first assistant. and also the menu for break fast the following morning. He then pIepdIcS lHt uluueT IueHu lOT the lOl- lowing day-a task that occupies him usually couple of hours.
 No two dinners at the roral table are ever the same. Certain dishes are from time to time repeated, frequently by special request of the king. but what may be termed the general scheme of each dinner is always diff ferent. One of the side kitchens is reserved solely for Mir Menager's use, where he carries out experimental cu- linary operations and is constantly Dlaborating and working out new ideas Some dishes have taken him months of preparatioh before he has decided to put them into the menu There is one particular sauce which MT. Men ager invented some years ago to which the king has a particular liking MT. Menager was making experiments for over three years before he served this sauce to the royal table.
The Holbrook news., 1910-07-01

There are many dishes, by the way, which can be tasted nowhere except at the royal table The secret of their preparation is known only to MT. Men ager, and he guards such secrets with great care. None of his assistants has the least notion of how these special dishes and sauces are prepared. They simply have the handling of the raw materials and each assistant carries out different directions in it's prepara- tion for the table.
 The dinner menu is submitted every day to their majesties for approval; ; but this is mere matter of form. for neither the king nor queen ever thinks of altering or interfering with MT. Menager's arrangements.
 At 3 o'clock report is laid before the great chef by the order cook of the various meats that have been or dered in accordance with MT. Men ager's instructions of the day before, and also what is called a kitchen re port is given to him by the head as sistant cook-which is detailed state ment of the manner in which the din neT TOT that 0lSnL IS 10 De prepared.

 The preparation of the royal dinner Ia then begun. MT.

Witt the policy of pudding two ships a year we have adhered to the plan of building them by divisions. The North Dakota, Delaware, Utah and Florida will constitute one fleet division, and they are one in type. The Arkansas and Wyoming. and the two ships authorized by this Congress will complete another division. and will be essentially of the same general type. In the interval, however. since the North Dakota and Delaware were planned a new factor ot improvement has been furnished by the Bureau of Ordnance in the demonstration that we can make a 14-incb gun that will lead the world for power and penetra- tion. This was the idea of Rear Ad- miral Mason, and on his authority Congress a year ago appropriated $100,0G0 to make a 14-inch rifle and test it. This was done in the course of a few months, and the gun proved to be successful beyond all that lad been expected of it. It necessarily follows that the next ships to be built must carry 14-inch guns.
 The new ships, the Nevada and Ok iahoma. will be 554 feet long and 95 feet beam. Their draft will be 28.5 feet. Their displacement will be at least z6.000 tons, and probably 1000 The speed will be 21 knots. the coal load 5000 tons, and they will carry a complement of 75 officers and 1,5OO men. The armor will be 11-inch on the belt and on the barbettes and S. inch on the sides. There will be, in addition to the ten 14-inch guns. sev enteen 5-inch guns. As a floating fortress the ship will thus have two guns for every sector and with over tapping ranges. A 5-inch gun has been placed at the stern to protect from torpedo attack. A similar provision would be made at the stem but for the difficulty of putting shutter there that will keep out water in heavy seas.
 There will be no superstructure for turTets. The middle turret aft and the rear turret forward are raised above their neighbors so that their guns may nre over them. This Is an Ameri- can idea. Foreign navies are just be- ginning to adopt it. Years ago the superimposed turret was believed to be good thing, but 1t was doubted if heavy guns could be used iD the super imposed turret. And there was doubt If they could be used in turrets raised above other turrets, although not su- perimposed over them. To determine the matter once for all In :he presence of much debate about it. a practical trial Of the matter was made.
 It was claimed that the concussion iron: the 12-inch guns would kill any living being within the lower turret | At first cats and dogs were placed in turret on the old monitor Florida, now the Tallahassee. and the big guns were ]
