met the American schooner Morris,

the Kittiwake In tow. The two YES
sells expected to winter on the Is
land OF Koliuchin. which they un-

There Is no fear for the safety OF

amply supplied viii, AL the neces-

The company IN question had a
steamer on the Clyde ready to sail
for Australia with a large number
Of passengers. including emigrants,
on board. All that kept her from
leaving was the lack of a surgeon.
A qualified woman doctor, the
daughter of a marine engineer,
heard OF the difficulty and offered
her services. The Board OF Trade
officer who had to certify the ship
looked up all precedents. and al
though he found that NJ women had
ever before been signed on as sur
gean OF a ship, he could find moth
ing against IT,. and the woman doctor
went out with the steamer.
On a long voyage, with a large
number OF emigrants. the position
is not an easy one and shipping cir
cles are awaiting the result OF the
experiment with some interest.

men are the equal II not the superior
OF men In rifle Workmanship Miss
IL. Fenton, secretary OF the Imperial
sRifle Club. has issued a challenge

men on a miniature range.
Miss Fenton claims that the re-
suits al Bisley, since many of the
competitions there were thrown open
to women. have shown that women
do just as well as men with the rifle
and furthermore they do 1t with less
practice than their male competi-
tors. She i~nstanced the last meet
ing when one woman made a pos
sible" at 500 yards. and another di-
vided the prize In an open event.
The Ladies' Bisley, too. has great
~ increased the interest in rifle
shooting by women. Many women
said Miss Fenton, become high-class
'marksmen' almost without practice,
a circumstance which does not APP
ply to men. So far as | can see a
woman's nature naturally fits her
for shooting. Shooting does not re-
Quire strength; 1t needs s~teadiness
and GOODNESS. Everyone knows that
women are superior to men in a
crisis; and It is because our nature
is more phlegmatic that We make
better shots. In addition, of course,
there is the fact that We drink less
alcohol"

The Moros as a rule wore skin tight

Of New York city are many OF an I'M

these are, which demand a huge pop

It.used to be that anyone who want
ed sawdust went to the sawmill and
asked for as much as he wanted. There
was only one kind Of sawdust in the
good old days and that was an unim-
portant product which anybody could
have for the asking. Now the saw
dust wholesaler will tell you that saw
dust is a very valuable product and
that the sawdust business is offering
greater opportunities every day.
There are about sixty kinds Of saw
dust on the market, SO says the saw
dust expert, and all OF them have their
stated Uses in the realm of trade.
Mahogany sawdust is just as aristo-
cratic and elegant a product as ma
hogany furniture. 1t is useful for
smoking-not as tobacco. Mahogany
sawdust is employed because of the
good. clear kind of work that it does
in smoking hams, fish, etc.
All the way from the preparation OF
food to the polishing of precious met
ais, ranges the usefulness of sawdust.
The hardwood dusts are used for pol
