- , Womon&nd Legal Study
iii- "Success," the Dean of New York
University of Law says:
"There is a general opinion, even
among women, that the feminine mind
is much less able than the masculine
to grapple with the intricacies of law.
I once had this idea myself, but my
experience in teaching women in the
New York University Law School has
somewhat scattered it. We have both
men and women in our classes, and in
each one the women outrank the men.
Their average standing is invariably
higher. One young woman has led her
fellow-students of both sexes since her
first term in the school, and another
won first honors last year. My ex
planation is that, young women have
fewer outside interests than young
men, and devote themselves more
faithfully to their studlts. This is the
truth, In spite of the fact that most
of the men expect to look to the law
for a livelihood, while, except in a
few cases, women do not. A compara
tively small number of our women
students embark in practice. The
great majority take up legal studies to
Increase their competency in manag
ing their own estates, or for the pur
pose of adding to their equipment for
a business career.
The real estate field is one which is
now attracting a considerable number
of women, and not a few of those who
are conducting successful offices have
taken Jaw courses. It must not be
imagined that the women who show
ability in grasping legal principles
have the masculinity of mind and
manner so objectionable m their sex.
Some of our best students have been
those who have possessed the most
feminine grace and charm."
Query Box.
(Our friends must remember this:
Queries cannot bo answered in this
department under two weeks from
time of being sent in. A query mailed
May 9 asking for answer in issue of
the 13th, reachod the office probably
on the 10th. At that date the Home
Department and, indeed, the whole
paper, was already in print, ready
for tho mails, and tne "copy" for the
issue of May 20 already in the nanus
of the type-setters. In handling the
very large mail which The Commoner
office receives each day, there must
Necessarily be some delay in the is
sorted mail matter being delivered to
tho editors of the various depart
ments, and, altogether 1L will be read
ily seen why the two-weeks' grace is
asked for. Please romember.)
San Toy. Query came too late for
the issue asked for.
Frances M. "Hock of Ages" was
written by August Montague Toplady,
a Calvanist vicar of Devonshire, En
gland, about 1776. Of course, the au
thor is dead.
J. C. H. Cannot give you the poem.
A good way to find It would be to go
carefully through a volume of the
poems until you find what you want.
Housewife. To remove grease spots
from the wall papw, apply a paste,
made of laundry starch wet up with
gasoline, leave on until dry, then
brush off; repeat if necessary.
Charlotte. A study of synonyms is
profitable, and It certainly pays to
practice phrase and word combina
tions, even if you do not intend to
"write for the papers.'' It will im
prove your conversational powers.
Iva C "White Coal" is the. name
applied In France to the water-power
used for tho production of electricity.
France has little coal, but many water-falls,
and these latter she uses for
industrial purposes.
Bffle S. Tho sleovo ruffle for your
pretty gown may bo made of batisto
or fine lawn, four inches wide, edged
with lace and finoly plaited. Leather
belts are now wide and soft, and
crushed into becoming fullness when
fastened around tho waist.
"Gwen." Paint tho eyebrows, with
a small brush, or rub in with the finger-tips,
every night-a little almond
oil or vasolino; must bo persevered In
for a long time. Many persons who
have good, well-knit forms do not
wear corsets or girdles at all. It is
well to conform to tho usage consid
ered "good form'; by tho community
in which you live.
"Outraged Mother." I do not think
the law provides any punishment for
the father who habitually uses pro
fane or obscene language before his
family of young children. It ought to
bo punishable, as such training can
but be demoralizing to tho young, as
well as disgusting to yourself.
Florence G. For baking powder,
this is recommended: One pound tar
taric acid, one pound pure bi-carbon-ato
of soda, one pound of corn starch.
Mix thoroughly by repeated ' sittings,
and use two teaspoonfuls of the mix
ture to one quart of flour. Low-priced
baking powders contain alum, which
leaves in the bread or cake glauber
salts, sulphuric acid and hydrato of
alumina, all very injurious to the
stomach.
Young Dressmaker. By"bust meas
ure," dress and pattern makers mean
the measure of the chest obtained by
passing a tape measure around tho
body over the fullest part of the bust,
close up under the arms and a little
higher in the back, drawn tightly. The
average, or medium, is thirty-six
inches.
Maude. See recent issues of The
Commoner for recipes for freckles and
for whitening the skin. Do you keep
your recipes? A lady should take the
gentleman's arm. For a gentleman to
grasp the arm of the lady reminds one
too strongly of a policeman steering
a criminal toward the hoodlum wa
gon. It certainly don't look pretty.
C. R. There are two ways of get
ting your story before the public; one
is to send the manuscript to the pub
lisher you hope will buy i, paying full
postage on it and enclosing a like
amount with the manuscript to insure
its return if found "not available." If
rejected, send to others, always en
closing postage for return, until it is
finally accepted, or you get tired of
trying. The other way is to offer it
to a syndicate. If the itory Is a good
one, it will find a market. A type
written manuscript is a pass-port to
fayor, but a clear handwriting is next
best.

Rat Catchers in Hong Kong.
The extraordinary measures that
have been taken to stamp out bubonic
plague In San Francisco are more than
duplicated in Hong Kong, where this
scourge has been a problem almost
from time immemorial. If tho situa
tion were less serious, the experience
of the British governor of Hong Kong
in this connection would be very
amusing. He has made a report to
his government, in which he tells of
the bounty, paid In that city for the
capture of rats. These animals, as
everybody knows, are responsible in
largo measure for tho persistence of
bubonic plague, and strenuous efforts
have been made to get xid of the rats,
and at the same time to trace the in
fection to its source.
In Hong Kong the authorities pay a
bounty of 6 cents for every rat
brought to tho health offlce. It Is re
quired that tho location of the houses
in which the rats are caught shall bo
given in each case, for it Is through a
bacteriological examination of tho
animals that tho authorities try to lo
cate tho source of the plague Infec
tion. If an infected rat is caught, the
health officers lmmearalcly proceed to
the house where the animal came from
and disinfect the premises. Now, Chi
nese residents do not like to have
their houses disinfected, and the
bounty system has led to collusion be
tween the householders and tho rat
catchers in some cases, and to tho
persecution of the householders by
rat-catchers in other cases. Moreover,
the governor of Hong Kong flnds that
rats are being imported Into tho city
from other Chinese cities and towns,
tho bounty of Ave cents well repay
ing the rat-catchers for their trouble.
A tag Is always attached to each of
these imported rats, but it always gives
some house in Hong Kong as tho
place where the rat was caught. Then
somo poor Chinaman receives a visit
from the health officeie and submits
to having his dwelling disinfected.
