From the earliest settlement of the colo- nies there has always been a defect in the distribution of women in this country. It is a historical fact that while one section has always suffered from an embarrassment of riches another has pined in a needless pri- vation. At the outset of American col- onization the wilderness was hungry for men to till it, and thousands of the idle la- borers of London and Bristol poured into the new Eldorado. Robert Beverly, in his “History of Vir- ginia,” published in 1705 and 1722, says: “Those that went over to that country first were chiefly single men, who had not the incumbrance of wives and children in Eng- land; and if they had, they did not expose them to the fatigue and hazard of so long @ voyage, um. they saw how it should fare with themselves. From hence it came to pass that when they were settled ...ere and in a comfortabie way of subsisting a family, they grew sensible of the misfor- tune of wanting wives, and such as had left wives in England sent for them, but the single men were put to their shifts. “Under this difficulty they had no hopes but that the plenty in which they lived might invite modest women of small for- tunes to go over thither from England. However, they would not receive any but such as could carry sufficient certificate of their modesty and good behavior. Those, if they were but moderately qualified in all other resects, might depend upon marrying well in those days, without any fortune. Nay, the first planters were so far from expecting money with a woman that ’twas a common thing for them to buy a deserv- ing wife that carried good testimonials of her character, at the price of £100, and make themselves believe they had a bar- gain. “In one year Sir Edwin provided a pas- sage for 1,261 new emigrants. Among these were ninety agreeable young women, poor but respectable, to furnish wives to the colonists. This new commodity was trans- ported at the expense of the colony, and sold to the young planters, and the follow- ing year another consignment was made of sixty maids of virtuous education, young, handsome and well recommended. A wife in the first lot sold generally for 100 pounds of tobacco, but as the value of the new ar- ticle became known in the market the price rose, and a wife would bring 150 pounds of tobacco. A debt for a wife was of a higher ati than other debts, and to be paid rst.” In a letter still in existence, dated Lon- don, August 21, 1621, and directed to a worthy colonist of that settlement, the writer says: “We send you in the ship one widow and eleven maids for wives for the people of Virginia. There hath been especial care had in the choice of them, for there hath not one of them been received but upon good commendations. “In case they cannot be presently mar- ried, we desire that they may be put with several householders that have wives.” But the writer of this epistle had little reason to fear that any of the “maidens faire’ would be left over. The archives of Virginia prove that these first cargoes of young ladies were put up at auction be- neath the green trees of Jamestown, where probably the most anxious and interested crowd of auction habitues ever known in the history of the world were gathered, and sold for 120 pounds of leaf tobacco each, and it was ordered that this debt should have precedence of all others. The solitary “one widow’ went along with the others, for they could not be particular in those days. The good minister of the colony no doubt had a busy time that day. He did not mention any fees, nor did the bride- grooms think of tendering any. All was joy and gladness. There exists in the United States today the same defective distribution of women as existed in the colonies 278 years ago. Indeed, it {s an economical, as well as a social defect, that the distribution of wo- men in the country is so imperfect that, while Massachusetts has 80,000 more wo- men than men, and while in every city and hamlet from the Atlantic to the Mississippi spinsters bloom and fade unplucked by the reverent hand of eager youth, we frequent- ly hear of a lonely bachelor in the far west addressing a letter to the United States commissioner of immigration at Ellis Isl- and, N. Y., begging him to exercise his taste and discrimination, and, when his eyes fall upon a desirable young woman who wants a husband, to forward her to him at his cost and risk, provided she does not object. The fact that reasonably eligible bach- elors in the interior of the country should find it necessary to send to an eastern port for wives points out a deplorable fault in the contemporary social state. To correct this fault in disiribution, so painful to con- template and endure from the point of view of either section and of either sex, is a problem which has received the profound attention of our social economists from the foundation of our country.

From the Louisville Post. * “Three miles from nowhere, in a little backwoods village over in North Carolina the other day, I found the one town in the world where everybody works, and no loaf- ing is permitted,” said a well-known travel- ing salesman last night. “In this hamlet there’s no idleness that Is not voluntary or vicious, and this privilege is not allowed even to the wandering Willie out of a job. On a sign at the post office in Beechland is this injunction, from which there is no ap- real: ‘No loafing allowed in this town. We work and so must every! else who ex- pects to reside here for any length of time. Idieness breeds crime, and as we never had a robbery or a murder here we have deter- mined to strike at the root of all evil. ‘Tramps will be given one hour in which to depart, and honest men out of‘employment will be given work if they desire it. If not, they must git and git as quick as there lazy legs will carry them away from our village. This means you.’ 5 -1217 Vt. ave. -The Cairo -The Cairo ‘The Varnum ‘The Hamilton he Wellington -122 E. Capitol st. -1213 Pa. ave. e Metropolitan -The Cochran _— THEIRS FOR 500 YEARS. Farm in Norway Owned by One Family Since 1381. From the Webster City (Ia.) Freeman. Last Saturday morning J. E. Sogard re- ceived a remarkably interesting document from Christiania, Norway, and one which he prizes very highly. It came from the Government Museum at Christiania, and is an exact copy of two deeds of very an- cient date, the original deeds having been preserved and placed on exhibition in the museum. The deeds are for a certain farm which the Sogard family has possessed for centuries and upon which two of his brothers—Simon of Webster city and John of Iowa city—were born. The first deed is dated July 1, 1381, or more than 500 years ago. A better realization of the age of this deed is had when it is remembered that the Sogard family was in posses- sion of the farm more than 100 years be- fore Columbus discovered America, and it is probable that their ownership dates much further back than is shown by this deed. The later instrument was executed in 148, nearly seventy-five years before the landing of the pilgrim fathers at Ply- mouth. A gentleman from a neighboring town tells the Trey Times that he has seen the ancient document alluded to, but was unable to read it, as it is written in the Norwegian language. He adds that the property is in the town of Oalen, near the town of Hamar, and that the largest city near the place is Christiania, and that the document states it is given in the reign of King Hakon, by the grace of God, King of Norway and Sweden. ——+o+—____ Princeton's Oldest Graduate. From the Philadelphia Press. William Cl&y Wallace, the oldest living graduate of Princeton College, lies seriously {ll at his residence, No. 349 High street, Newark. He is ninety-three years old, and it is feared he may now succumb to weak- ness. He was graduated from Princeton in the class of '23, and is known either personally or by reputation to innumerable graduates of Old Nassau. He is the son of William Wallace, who came to this country from Scotland and was a,merchant in this city early in the ‘century. William Clay Wal- lace’s love for Scotland has always charac- terized him, but he is a true American. His roommate at college was William A. Washington, a brother of Bushrod Wash- ington and a nephew of George Washing- ton. Dr. Ashbel Green was president of Princeton when Mr, Wallace was a stu- dent there, and but two buildings were on the college campus. Since his graduation Mr. Wallace’ has lived in Newark, never engaging in busi- nesss or interesting himself in politics. His wife died years ago. He has two daugh- ters. - aoe An Adopted Partridge. Frém the Hawesville (Ky.) Clarion. Miss Ona Ireland, a young lady living né@ar Skilfman, has a bird, the history of which weuld grace the columns of our nat- ural history. Miss Ona has a very large and beautiful flock of turkeys, a part of which were hatched in the early summer months and strayed awey from the house for quite a distance. In their ramblings a young pertridge, presumably an orphan, fell into Late ranks of ee beseics and, finding company co! , forsoo! the field, stayed in the barnyard and or- chard and never for a moment left the tur- rst hi usual sight to the -partridge ing beneath the flock of turkeys. DR. TANNER, THE GREAT FASTER. In Prime Condition at 65. and Telling the Tale of His Forty Days’ Fast. From the Detroit Free Press. Dr. Henry 8S. Tanner, who fasted forty days and nights in New York city, in 1890, 1s visiting in Detroit. He is in excellent health at sixty-five years of age, and thinks he could repeat his feat if there were occa- sion to do so. When he made his celebrat- ed feat, in the first fourteen days he did not use even water, but then he began to walk every day to Central Park to drink from a spring. “No,” he continued, “I felt not the slight- est ill effects from the fast. On the other hand, I think it rather refreshed me, once I had begun to eat and sleep in norma! allowances. I first fasted In Minneapolis a few years before 1880, the year of the celebrated fast. I was a sufferer from car- diac rheumatism and attempted the fast as a means of relief. For eleven days I Kept it up, amd tlre action of the heart ac- tually resunied i#s healthy tone and all pain passed from that region. I did not break the fast after I felt this effect, how- ever, and determimed to continue it as long as 1 could. At tBe end of forty-two days 1 felt that 1 had gnough. However, this is not accepted:as arrecord as only my friends knew of it. “The New Yorke:fast was held under the eyes of severmml playsicians. During the for- ty days I lsst enly thirty-eight pounds. When I started everybody predicted that I could not last more than twelve days. At the end of my fast I received a cable mes- sage from the queen’s physician, advising me to take mot more than five drops of milk as my firstwmeal. One doctor in New York advised' me to take as a square meal a lick at a pestage stamp. Still another thought this: would overtax my stomach, and advised a good, long smell at some well-done toast. Qne and all predicted that my stomach would prove to be a wreck. My digestive apparatus, they claimed, was irretrievably ruined. I might consider that my days were numbered few. “On the morning of the last day of the fast a small boy came up to me nibbling a ripe peach. I asked him to let me hold it. I put it to my lips. I wanted to taste of it, but that would give everybody a chance: to say I had weakened, and L wanted to last out the forty days, as I had promised. You can imagine that it required some exertion of the will to hand it back to him; but I did it. I asked him to come back at noon, when my time would be up. He did 80, a matronly woman with him. her hand in her pocket and take from it a big, ripe, yellow peach and give it to him. I suppose she was his mother. Then the little fellow trotted over to where I sat, and an immense crowd looked on as I grabbed it from his hand and took one big, long, juicy bite from it. The memory of that flavor lingers with me yet. I devoured every bit of the fruit. “The general supposition is that my first eatable after the fast was a watermelon. This rose from the fact that I had always declared that I would begin on a melon. Not long after the peach incident they brought me three pints of miik, which 1 drank, and an immense Georgia water- melon, weighing about forty pounds. Be- tween that time and midnight I had de- voured all of it, and felt much refreshed. I did not care to put more solid food into my stcmach. In due time I came to eat meat and vegetables, and became, to all in- tents and purposes, a rational human being. “Yes, the practice of medicine derived some good from my achievement. The phy- sicians learned that the use of alcohol stim- ulants was not necessary to arrest the wasting of tissue. I used none in my fast, and ever since then the use of the stuff in the sick room ‘has been greatly decreased.” When miners are immured in a mine and shipwrecked sailors are marooned on a bar- ren {sland—nothing to eat in either case— they usually last about tweive days. The doctor says that this is because they have been accustomedto hear of that being the limit of life without sustenance, so they give up and allow death to take possession of them, whereas, had they the will power they could stave it off as long as he did, and perhaps longer, and give others a chance to save them. ————_+e+—____ TOMB OF CONFUCIUS. A Spot Which All Celestials Regard With Veneration, From the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. No greater mistake could possibly be made than to imagine that the Chinese peo- ple will ever acquiesce to Germany's occu- pation of Kiao Chou bay, and of the adja- cent territory. Averse as they are to con- cession of any oftheir soil to the detested foreigner, they would gladly concede to the kaiser some infinitely richer and more ad- vantageously situated port If he would con- sent to withdraw his troops from Kiao Chou bay, for in the immediate vicinity of the latter, and within the sphere claimed by Germany, 4s situated a temple which the Chinese regard ag the most sacred spot in the whole of ‘their vast empire. It is the temple in which lies entombed in a double coffin, and arrayed in twélve different cos- tumes, the body of Confucius, the founder of that religion, or, rather, school of philos- ophy on which the entire system of Chinese civilization, seience, literature and mode of life is based. It is.a‘spot so sacred that no provincial gowerner, no mandarin, no offi- cial dignitary of any importance ever en- ters upon his duttes without having first made a pilgrimage to it, the small town in which the tomb of Confucius is located be- ing regarded with the same degree of ven- eration by the Chinese as Mecca is by the Mohammedans, and as Jerusalem used to be in olden times by the Christians. The Chinese are not what can be called a religious people, but they have a fanatic reverence for the tombs, not only of their ancestors, but of the great men of their na- tion, and the idea that the last resting place of the great Confucius should be de- filed by the presence or propinquity of the abhorred foreign devils is exasperating pop- ular feeling throughout China to such a de- gree against the Germans in particular that European and American massacres may be looked for at any moment to add still fur- ther complications to the situation. The coast line of China is not hundreds, but thousands of miles in length, and if the Kaiser has searched from one end to the other thereof he could not possibly have picked out a spot the occupation of which would be more likely to exasperate the Chi- nese than Kiao Chou bay. By car-fully fanning the exasperation and at the same time by training and equipping the soldiers of the Emperor Kwangsu, the Russians may yet find it possible to force the retreat of the Germans from Kiao Chou bay with- out being themselves compelled to draw the sword. The family of Confucius, who died nine years before the birth of Socrates, and, therefore, about four centuries before Christ, is still in existefice, and the only one in China that bears the title of duke, or, rather, the Chinese equivalent thereof. It was but the other day that an edict in the Imperial Gazette at Pekin proclaimed that ‘inasmuch as through wars, floods and rebellions the lands granted for the sup- port of the dukedom of Kunz have become alienated and lost, the imperial government has decided to make to the present duke, and to the future bearers of the title, an annual allowance equivalent to the sum originally yielded by the ducal estates at the time when they were granted.” The present duke is the seventy-seventh in di- rect line from Confucius, and, strange to relate, his face and figure presents a strik- ing resemblance to the portraits that the old graven stones still present of the found- er of Chinese civilization. The duke bears the hereditary title of Yen Shing Kung, which means “Ever Sacred Duke,” and, like all his seventy-six ancestors before him, has lived in a palace situated in the immediate vicinity of the tomb and memori- al temple of his illustrious ancestor. It must be thoroughly understood that anything which can‘possibly be construed as a profanation of this tomb will fill the hearts of at least two-thirds of the 400,000,- 000 members of the Chinese race with such feelings of horror and fury that they will cheerfully sacrifice their. lives in order to be revenged for the naigntty, upon the first foreigner they encounter. If I call atten- tion of the readers of the Globe-Democrat to this circumstance, it is because it is des- tined to become a very important fac.or in the present situation in China, is certain to influence the poliey of the Chinese, and has been erftirely lostisight of until now. —_+-o+-___ The “Broken-Down Pensioners.” G.
