the department making eight runs,
one of which was false. Nine miles
were covered by the big auto truck.
The total value of buildings and
contents involved in the fires was es-
timated at $14 500. showing what the
loss might have been but for the
prompt action of the firemen.

was $4,000. S1.935 of which has

she appeals to him against the meanness Of
some bigger boy, you'll see his knife come
flashing out in the twinkling of an eye.
So at the very beginning of life, the sexes
are in their God-intended Spheres as distinct
as the frigid and the torride zones.
No typical man ever loved a mannish wo-
man. Never! She fills him with unutterabe
1oathing. What he wants to say to her, is not
fit to print.
No typical woman ever l0r~d a feminine
man. These runts are her supcGIative disgust.
When the typical members of the two sexes
come together, their relations are Immediately
and automatically adjusted. That is
Natures doing God meant it so. The woman
is happy in the realm Of Home, and in the
holy office of Motherhood. The man is con-
tent to meet the outside world, bear the brunt
of the battle, build the roads and bridges,
man the vessels and fill the armies, make the
laws and administer justice. After the tolls
of the day, he loves the domestic freside at
night, the voices of wife and child, the sac
red felicities Of the one-wife system.
Our short haired feminine freaks have gone
looney. Their long haired male-teachers are
largely responsible for it. These fool teach
ers have made our girls believe that they must
practise fencing with swords, boxing with
gloves, wrestling, running, leaping, comfort
ing their bodies into every conceivable atti-
tude-to the amazement of Dame Nature; and
to ride horses as men do, astraddle.

say Jack Robinson.
The Sunday papers print pictures, which
show the various postures that the girls throw
themselves into, while going through their
physical "training." These contortions are
SO wildly unnatural, and so wholly absurd and
harmful, that marvel that the sensible doc
tors of medicine do not sound the alarm.
No girl who ever expects to bear children,
should go through violent exercise She
ought not to leap, race on her feet fence, box,
or wrestle. She ought not to enter swim
ming contests though it is we'll enough
indeed, for her to know how to swim. Nature
never intended her to become an athlete.
Never! Nature never intended her to ride as
men do. NEVER!! [ have thought that a
beautiful woman, seated side-wise on fine
horse, and riding gracefully, is one Of the
most pleasing sights mine eyes have ever
beheld.s Many and many time, have seen
and enjoyed this spectacle: but [ have never
seen woman who could ride we'll, when she
tries to do it as we men do. She never can
learn what to do with her - limbs She
can't manage her feet She can't acquire the
'seat." She was not SO constructed, physi-
cally, that she can acquire it.
Now, the typical man doesn't have to be-
taught how to ride horse back. He learns it,
himself. He may be awkward, at first, but he
legs give him no trouble, and he soon
acquires the 'seat."
All the physical training a girl needs to
prepare her for Motherhood, is plenty of OPEN
air walking She should throw her shoulders
back and expand her chest with deep breath
ing, through the nose; should take the natural
stride, which the length Of her limbs will
automatically determine; should allow her
waist to attain its own girth; should wear
common sense shoes; and should keep her
bosom covered.
Dld you ever see woman who could throw
a stone; or man who jumped up on a chair,
when mouse came into the room?
Did you ever see a woman who did not
widen her lap to catch the ball of thread, the
spool, the wax, etc; or man who did not
bring his legs together, when you tossed
something at his lap?
Is the typical woman broad of shoulder,
like the typical man?
DO the ladies want to swap their little white
teeth, for the larger and longer fangs of the
men? Would the gentle dears welcome the
exchange, Of dimpled cheeks, for parded chins?
Do they yearn to chew tobacco, and wear
breeches? Will they aspire, to itch-digging,
and service in the Fire Department? Must
they tote mortar, and lay brick?
All this twaddle about the Equality of the
sexes, ignores elemental facts It refuses to
see what, nevertheless, is there. Clamor ever
so loudly, Nature will assert herself. The man
is the King. 1t is his to rule: he always has
dominated, and he always will. It is his

is. Occasionally, woman is gifted with a

Julia Pardoe, or Lady Morgan.
The feminine quality is as distinguishable,
from the masculine, mans voice from a
woman's.
In Byron, Dryden, Ben Jonson, Shakes
peare and Chaucer, we recognize the robust,
manly intellect. In the work Of the Female
Poets, of Europe and America, we perceive
the delicate, lady like, lesser force There is
no power, as in the masculine genius; there is
nothing in the typical feminine genius that
rises above beauty, refinement, pathos and
music
It is not so much question of equality, as
of what each sex was fashioned and ordained
to do. The nurse on the field of battle, may
be the equal of the man on the firing line;
but she doesn't covet his position, and she
would be out of place, there.
My wife is my equal-nay, my superior in
many respects-but has no fitness for making
political speeches, managing political cam
palgns, arguing law cases, and conducting
periodicals.
So, you see, it is not question Of equality,
but of fitness. To act as warrior, Judge, Juror,
voter legislator and ruler, is not the part of
the woman. Neither her body, nor her brain,
was created for that purpose. Quite the con-
trary But the mans body and mind were
built to perform those functions.
Nature meant that the greater portion of
the womans time should be demanded by
Maternity: not SO the man. The man was
left free Of natural impeachment, in order
that he might, at all times, be ready to
go forth and do the mans part. But the
woman is compelled, by memorable natural
law, to remain at home much of her time.
At the very crisis when her sword. or her
vote, or her decision as a Judge, might be
most needed, she might be in doors, prepar-
ing to have baby
This is plain, but not so much so as the
Bible
NOW, the freaks have got it into their heads
that woman was never so free, as now They
are mistaken. The women of the Roman
Empire were quite as free And if the freaks

The typical woman, mated to the typical
man, has no inclination whatever to invade
his natural sphere. Nor does she want him
to invade hers. She wishes to be the Queen
OF her own domestic realm.

Are Lost-Boys Drops from Rope.

Niagara Falls, N. Y.-The great ice
bridge that has choked the river chan
mel between the cataract and the upper
steel arch bridge below the falls for
the last three weeks, broke from its
snoring at noon, Sunday, and went
down the river, taking with it to their
death man and woman, said to be
Mr. and Mrs. Eldridge Stanton, of Tor
onto, Canada, and Burrel Peacock, II
years old, of Cleveland, Ohio Four
other persons were on the ice at the
time, but managed to get ashore in
safety.
The bridge was considered safe
For weeks the great fields of ice had
been coming down the river, piling up
against the barrier, until it was from
GO to so feet thick, and under the in
fiuence of zero weather, the great mass
had become anchored firmly to the
shore. The jane was about 1000 feet
wide, and in some places quarter of
mile in length.
For two weeks it had offered safe
passage, and Sunday an immense crowd
of excursionists came to view the win
ter wonder of the river. Had the acct
dent happened an hour later, hundreds
would have lost their lives, for the
crowd was moving into Prospect park
IN the elevators that run down the cliff
for the purpose of venturing out on the
ice.
Somewhere deep in the great whirl-
pool sleeps the man, partly identified
as Mr.. Stanton, who twice put aside
his chances of rescue to remain with his
terror-stricken wife, and who, in the
shadow of death-just at the break of
the rapids-spurned assistance for him
self and attempted to bind about the
woman s body a rope dangling from the
lower steel arch bridge.
The lad, Burrell Heacock, had he not
turned back on the ice to give assist
ance to the man, also might have made
the shore.
On the bridge when it tore from the
shore, besides these three, were Monroe
Gilbert of this city; Ignatius Roth of
Cleveland, Heacock' IS companion; Will
liam Hill, an old river man; William
Lablond, river man, and an unidentified
Italian.

Peking.-The empress dowager issued
an edict Sunday instructing Premier
Yuan Shi Kai to establish repuhle
in cooperation with the southern re.
publcans. The edit has not yet been
published, and it is expected will be
kept more or less secret, as far as fine
public is concerned, until arrangements
in the south have been completed. Yuan
Shi Kai is now endeavoring to nor.
suade the Marking government to hand
over the control of affairs TO enable
him to carry on the administration of
the\ whole empire until the national
convention appoints permanent gov.
eminent and adopts a constitution.
1t. is doubted here that the renuh.
llcans in Marking will consent to this
1t is believed the only solution posi-.
BILE is the creation of two provisional
governments and the continuance of
temporary control.
Yuan Shi Kai is opposed to the trans
fer of the capital to Marking, but there
appears to be a close understanding
"o'"eeh the Imperial premier and the
republicans, who again have offered
him the presidency.
The fact that abdication of the
throne has been decided upon is not
known to the general public in Picking.
ana the sklllful manner in which the
transition is being effected leaves small
apprehension of disturbance.
Many of the imperial princes are
leaving Picking. Prince Kuang. leader
