take down your books- and let's do
something to convince the "new men'
of Mrs. Palmer's description that we
are abundantly able to go It alone.
Of course we all see the social condi

a pity If. in the world's broad tleld of
batik.' the girls can't be supposed to go
It alone. Quoting from (Mrs. Palmer,
'nothing rv mains but for them to seize
a fining moment, declare undying love
a-nd propose matrimony.' and then she
pities 'the girls and calls them 'Just as

woman's ambition but marriage? Half

There 1s. says the Outlook, one de
partment In the administration of every
municipality, town, or village that
should command the time and attention
of every Intelligent woman, and this Is
the department of education. This does
not mean that every woman should
undertake the work of personal Investi
gation, or seek to compel the careying
out of' personal views in the conduct of
public ' education. It does mean that
rne should know the amount spent per
capita for the education of the children
of the community; how It compares
with other communities; that she shouM
know something of the census of the
town; the taws relating to the public
cfhools: the amount paid in salaries,
and whether the sum paid is sufficient
to command the best teachers. Mrs.
Henrotln. the president of the Federa
tion of Women's clubs, said recently
that the work of the women's clubs Is
changing: that each year the work takes
more and more the civic form. This Is
progress. If the women's clubs througfi
ont the country will give their Individ
ual attention to civic affairs as they
relate to thA community, and their com
bined influence to secure the best ad
ministration of every department, we
hall tew Wie most perfect local gov
ernments In the world. The Indiffer
ence of taxpayers as to the way the
public money is spent amounts to crim
inality. When it is realized that the
public money wasted, and worse than
wasted, would Insure both literary and
manual training to every child whose
duration must depend on what the
public money supplies, it ought to cause
very public-spirited man and woman
to register a vow to consecrate a part
of their time to public service, giving
their talents and abilities where they
would count for the public good.

'The world," says the Washington
Post, in an editorial suggested by the
126th anniversary, on Aug. 15, of the
birth of Napoleon, "has never agreed as
to Bonaparte. When the British govern
ment retained Walter Scott to prosti
tute his genius to the misrepresentation
of the great Corslcan, the Integrity Of

students took sides and to-day the char
actor and the exploits of Napoleon Bon

vent and as Interminable as the origin
of species or the identity of the true re
ligion. We know .that from the obscure
and humble position of king's pensioner
at the military school of Brlenne, with

rose to be bead of the greatest military

changed the map of Europe, made and

until 'his imad ambition took him upon
the deseperate march to Moscow and
revealed to him the vain dream of the

that 'he was a monster, the Minotaur of
the nineteenth century. His panegy
rists proclaim him the greatest genius
the earth has ever held. There is no
middle ground from which to judge him
any more than there was a possibility
of compromise with him In the day of
tils power when he bore the fleur-de-lis
against tne auiea armies of the civilized
(world. We must Choose between Wal
or Scott, the chief of his detractors,
and Abbott, the leader of his panegy

Dr. Katharine O. Townsend gives the
following general rules for bathing
"Never bathe soon after eating, but
only when the stomach is empty, or
nearly so. The room should be of a
comforta'ble tempereiure. No bath
should be taken when a feeling of fa
tigue is present. Between 11 and 12
o'clock In 'the forenoon Is the best time
for bathing. After a bs'Lh is taken and
the skin thoroughly dried, the surface
of the body should be briskly rubbed
ror live minutes with the dry hands.

A RAILROAD INCIDENT.
The Troublesome Cinders and the Man

tnce of The Tribune.
New York, Aug. 23. I had seated my
self comfortably in a ix-mwurr,

road train, and had essayed 'to Indulge
In a short nap preparatory to iimnw
engagement "l&i) mHes out." obedient
to the call of my Agent, when the other
half of my seat was appropriated by
the no less irenlal and entertaining Mr.
Katiensteln, the wealthy packing man
ufacturer. He immediately launched
upon a discourse with an acquaintance
who occupied the eeat ahead, and my
prospects for a nod were reduced to a
wink. I resolved to revenge viie nuru-

Tevkuig a good supply of my number
six bird-shot I opened fire on 'Mr. h..
softly, at first, but enough to disturb
him. My aim was good and I tossed
them out with my tongue with a pro
tlclcnvy which my friends tell me rivals
that of a marksman at close range. As
tihe shot catne In contact with bis stiff
hat the sound could be heard through
out the car, and many turned to learn
the cause.
"What is this?" Inquired Mr. K. with
unmistakable concern. "I am getting
lilt. Do you bear that and that and
that. There it is again, Hght. on my
cheek." His companion, who had been
a. witness to some of my L road epi
sodes, quietly took In the situation, and
became a voluntary confederate.
Mr. K. looked me over cartrfully, but
as I feigned sleep he concluded I was
Innocent all over. Another volley 1 let
go, and this time I leaped to my feet
as if struck by a bomb. Mr. K. turned
aside to lauch at my apparent per
plexity, his anger somewhat assuaged
to learn that he alone wan not singled
out as a victim. - He rose to learn the
meaning of "this persecution," and
standing In his seat looked Inquiringly
Into the oaees of the other passengers,
who. not yet acquainted with the sport,
looked at him. in turn, with wonder.
"I can't see who's doing it. What Is
he throwing?" asked Mr. K. His com
panlon suggested ithat It was coal from
the locomotive 'and that it came in
through the ventilators above. This
served to reassure Mr. K. and be re
sumed his eeat and his Interrupted dis
course. Scarcely had he begun when anoot-her
fusllade of missiles landed with great
force on his face and hrs hat.
"Hey,' hey, there; etop thht!" he
shouted.-
The other passengers began to ctm
prehend the -matter more intelligently,
but they charitably refrained from
comment.
"It Is neither coal-dust nor cinders,"
declared the now Irate Mr. K. "The
windows are down and the ventilators
are veiled. There Is some rogue in the
car pelting me."
By the foregoing method I always In
troduce my ventriloquism.
From the roof above I piped: "Say,
Katzensteln." "Hello! Hello," replied
Mr. K., in the parlance of the telophone
girl.
"I'm going to make a hole In that

back in reply, at which the passengers
roared.
"Who is the rascal, and how. does he

Ths City of Duluth.
Duluth Is locatHl upon a bluff, or
series) of bluffs pining mime six hundred
feet above and overlooking Lake Hu
pewior and the 'bays of Superior and rit.
Louis, with a wide stretch of table land
between the waiter and the bluffs, it to
over eeven mik long from Ita extreme
eastern suburb on the whore of the
lake to Its wewtem limit on the Bay of
St. Louie. 1
Its 'harbor Is capacious and entirely
taind-locked, bolng entered by an artl
IkiloJ channel cut across a long, narrow,
sandy peninsular, known as iMUnnesuta
Point by the citlxens of Duluth at
great expense. Duluth, na-med from an
old-time French explorer, LMiLuth. was
fur many yeara only a mod-eat city of
30.000 population.
Proctor Knott in his famous speech In
congress gave It notoriety, well Ue
Herved. too, atid It is now one of the
three great growing cities of Minnesota,
vletng with Minneapolis and St. Iaul
for commercial nupremacy. Being alt'
u ailed at the head of the Great Chain of
Lakes, it has grown more rapidly than
otuner of the two.
Ita development Is due purely to Its
geographical! position and to the great
wheat fields of the Northwest. Locat
ed on a high bluff very high bluff,
too gives it perfect natural drainage
and Insures both pure air and sunlight.
From the windows of every building
you get a panoramic view of lake, bay
and Crescent Point, whioh Is ever
changing and always boauMful. The
middle portion of the cl'ty cosily nestles
under tine protection of the same bluffs,
running down to the water's edige. The
westerly and easterly portions of tho
table kinds recede from the ahore.sharp-
ly 'forming a 'tevel traot between the
take or bay and the heights. This level
land, which 1 given over to tine resi
dences, exceeds In area the extent of
Manhattan island.
A City of Possibilities.
Duluth is a city of great beauty for
situation and of Infinite possibilities, it
has a population of 60,000, and Is one of
the most important wheat markets and
Wheat shipping points in the world.
Thirty years ago Chicago had less pop
illation than DuluOh has today. The
territory tributary to Duluth Is vastly
greater In extent and richer in resources
than that which . belongs to the city
on Lake Michigan. Wiho, then, shall
say that a greater city than Chicago
Bhall not some iay stand at the head
of Lake Superior?
Standing on the heights are seen three
singularly formed peninsulars, which
form three distinct bays and land
locked harbors. From the northern
sKpe of the take extends a remarkable
peninsular called 'Minnesota Point,
seven miles long with an average width
of - 800 feet southward In a regular
curve, forming a wonderful natural
breakwater. Upon this promontory is
a heavy growth of pine trees. This
protecting point forms a beautiful bay
seven mllce long and over a mile and
one-ha-hf Wide, secure end sheltered
from the wildest storms. This is called
Duluth 'Bay. From the southern Bhore
extending northward is another sandy
point forming a harbor Home three
miles ilong nnd a mile wide. This) Is
called Duluth land Superior Harbor.
Back of this to another bay formed by
a penlnsukir extending southward and.
strange enough, another coming up
from the Wisconsin shore to meet It,
thus forming a bay through which strallt
flow the waters of the SU Louis and
NemadJI rivers. This Is called Bt.
Loula Hay. Ten miles above Is a be'

Duluth in iMImrcsotav at the extireme
and of Lake Superior on St. Louis Bay,
lust across from Duluth. Modern gen
ius and appliances can erect a city any
where, even In the uesort or nannra,
but no city can be permanently success
ful. exDAiMrve and Dmaperous which Is
not founded on, and surrounded by
natural element or subsistence ana
growth. For all commercial purpose,
Superior ami Duluth are practically one
city, an much so as New York ami
Brooklyn; and it Is predicted not many
years) will pom before suoh will be a
nominal as well as an actual fact.
When contrasted with Duluth It Is lo
cated on a level plateau sniping from
a height of onry forty reel to eignt or
ton feet at the bay, the very opposite
in appearance to her Bister city net on
a hill acrom the bay.
The rapid and recent growth or West
Superior, now consolidated wtth Old
and South Superior, to well known. Five
years ago West Superior was a swamp.
Eastern people, generally, are unaware
of the magnitude of the business Inter
ests) of this great Inland city. The in
dustries that are growing to such vast
proportions) are- milling, lumber and
Iron, . Already Minneapolis trembles
for her laurels) as the facilities' at the
take porta of Duluth and Superior, both
as) receiving and distributing points, far
outrival the "FJour City." Duluth hav
ing an advantage of ten to fifteen cents
per oarrel over Minneapolis) in the coat
of producing and shipping flour, It to
predioted that the rival city will yet be
oompeUed to take second place an a
milling city. . .

The flour-milling Interest is growing
rapidly, and flour to now ahlpijed In
large quantities to eastern markets di

wai produced at Duluth. The Imperial
mXI has a capacity f 8,000 barrels a day
of Lake Suerkr flour. The total stor
age capacity of the elevators, exclusive
of elevators connected with flour mills.
Is 15.950.000 bushels. These include those
of Superior across the bay, controlled
by tho Duluth Board of Trade. iMiluth

wheat shipments are to New York by
way of iluffulo and iKrle Canal. A
large grain steamer with a caiclty of
90,000 buhcht. -euulvahidt to 1K0 car
loads, can be loaded 'here in half a day.
The Marin Trade.
While the mill way business is enor
mous, .the marine business Is on a still
greater scale. Single vessels carrying
130,000 buttliels of grain have bw.iv
cleared from Duluth harbor. Many
veesels carry 2,600 tons on the present
depth of WH-Kr, and when operations
now in progress are completed next
Hprlng and the channels made nowhere
less than, twenty feet in depth between1
Dulutih and' Buffalo, over a thousand
miles, than ran vessels carry cargoes of
5.000 tons. The total tonnage of ISUIi

The volume of Bast bound tiielght ts
double that of the Went bound, and
the return oar goes are hi greaf demand,
ttnd consequently less in prlue. Coal
can be brought from Buffalo at very
nrrwll cost. The average freight rate
for the 1,000 miles to only thirty cents
per ton. Many -tlioueands of 'tons have
been delivered at a cost of ten cents a
ton, end to often the case has been
brought as ballast without charge.
Coal as a Factor.
Next to wheat the most Important ar
ticle of commerce to coal. There are
Hlx large coal docks with, a present stor
age capacity of 6,000,000 tons. The fa
cilities of loading and unloading are so
exitnslve and complete that a vessel
may arrive in early morning containing
2,000 tons of Scran ton coal and depart
the same evening canrylng KO.OoO bush

loading vessels with grain Is 1,000 bush
eto per minute. One needs to waunter
over these docks in order to fully ap
preciate thtlr Immense facilities.
It to claimed that the average speed
of the modern steamers on the lake is
nearly double the average speed of
freight trains. Duluth to the western
terminus of the Great Northern Steam

speed, malting over twnty miles an
hour. Including stops, or the round trip
of 2,012 miles, between Duluth and Buf

Duluth Is the birth place of the whale
back, "Christopher Columbus," the
largest steamer -In the world. Trains
of these whrle boats with combined car
Bos of 27,000 tons have been cleared
firom this iiort at one time. The Stand
ard Oil company's tank steamers built
'here hold 30,000 barrels, or 100.000 gal
lons, of oil shipped in bulk from Buffa
lo. Large ship yards are located here
ond several steel vessels have been
launched from them.
Lumber .Mills.
Another Important Industry of Du
luth and one which is developing in a
mirprlelng decree. Is the manufacture
of lumber. There ore eight mills here
that have a combined capacity of 135.
000,000 feet per annum. This capacity
could be doubled by running night anj
day. It ia Interesting to visit them
when hi operation. Not one of them Is
Idle, and the prospect is that -this sea
son's cut will exceed that of Minneapo
lis and possibly Bay City. One of these
mills (the Merrill & Ring company) can
produce 80,000,000 feet per annum,
arrothor 30,000,000 feet. The lumber
dock connected with thp former are a
hailf mile long (2.5O0 feet) affording
room tor storing 22,000.000 feet of pre
pared lumber. Thto company has a
logging rallorad nearly twenty miles
long and owns 450,000,000 feet of stand
ing pine. The greatest body of white
pine in the world is found here in
Northern -Minnesota. There are nleo
immense fore; of hardwood timber
in close proximity.
The Iron Industry.
Minnesota ranks third In the United
States as an Iron ore producing state,
outranking Pennsylvania and surpassed
only by Michigan and Alabama. All
this Iron to obtained In one county, hav
ing an area, though aa large ac Con
necticut and Rhode Island combined.
Here are two of the greatest Iron ranges
In the world the Vermillion and Mesa
be. The tourist should not fall to vlhht
one of these wonderful mining camps.
The Mernba range has been devel
oped within the hist four years. The
developments of the Vermillion range
necessitated thn building of the Duluth
and Iron 'Mountain Range railway, nnd
also the Duluth, Meonha and North

range to tbelr whipping point In Duluth.
The iMesnba- road has the greatest ore
dock In the wmrld', containing SS4 pork

with suoh complete equipment that a
2,000 ton vessel can be loaded in half an
