Finland is a paradise for women at least for those of the sex who are desir ous of being plaoed upon the same plane as men sooially, politically and industrially. Nowhere else in the civ ilized world are the sexes so nearly upon an equality as there, and the experi ment has proved an unqualified success. For more than 25 years the gymnasiums have admitted both sexes, and in the University of Helsingfors there are now 200 women students. There are two flourishing , clubs of women. About 1,000 are now employed in post offices, railroad and telegraph bureaus and other departments of the public ser fioe. More than 900 are engaged as teachers in schools of various grades, and it is not uncommon to see among their pupils young men of 18, who are preparing for an academic or commer cial career. At least 8,000 women are in business. Fifty-two of the 80 poor houses have women superintendents, and all the dairies are managed by women.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion ot the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitu tional remedies. Deafness it caused by an in flamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian tube. When this tube gets inflam ed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed deafness is the result, and unless the Inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

AGREE TO EXCHANGE OF MAILS Canada's Proposition Formally Accept ed by Acting; Postmaster-General on Behalf the United Statea. Washington, Aug. 23. The Cana dian and the United States govern' ments have agreed to co-operate in aug menting tlfe postal facilities of the Klondike region, and the result will shortly be evidenced in a substantial doubling of the mail service from the coast into that district. Canada Aad a proposition for exchange of mails at Circle City and Dawson City, agreeing to perform the service from Dawson City to Dyea by means of a contract ol her own, with reimbursement to be made by this government for its share of the service. This differs from this country's prop osition in that under the latter the United States was to let the oon tract and look to Canada for reimbursement for the latter's share. The counter scheme, however, is satisfactory to the postoffice department here. The Canadian service provides for the exchange of mails at Fort Cudahy and two other stations between, Daw eon City and Dyea. The exact route is not out.ined, but in all probability it will strike off direotly southward from Dawson City, which is on the British side of the line, down to Dyea. At present, the district gets the benefit of mails once a month. The new arrange ment will furnish an additional ser vice, giving semi-monthly mails, the trips probably being sandwiched be tween the dates designated in the pres ent contract of the United States. Canada's proposition for carrying the mails one round trip a month be tween Dawson City and Dyea was for mally accepted this afternoon by Act ing Postmaster-General Shallenberger, nd the Canadian government notified )t. the action. In the communication, this government is stated to be ready to assume its share of the responsibil ity, and Canada is urged to put the service into operation at the earliest possible moment. Dyea, which is 100 miles above Juneau, on Lynn canal, and Dawson City will be declared inter national postal exchange offices. The British mails will be carried by the United States from Victoria to Dyea. The service will bring about the crea tion of a postoffice at Dawson City, and alio at Fort Cudahy, Forty Mile, and probably at other points, although these mentioned are beyond Dawson City. The service will be under the immediate supe-vision of the Canadian mounted police, and the carriers will be equipped with dogs and sledges, and will have Indian drivers. The first contract will be at least one year. Wherever the British mailg can be ex-' pedited by carrying . them over the present Circle City route between the dates of the new service this will be done. Last April an order was issued by the postoffice department discontinuing the steamboat mail service from Seattle to Juneau, beginning April 13. This order has now been modified to read "omit service from that date to the 81st of this month, when the perform ance of the service is to be resumed." Queen Will Carry a Hotel. Seattle, Aug. 23. At 6:30 tonight, the Al-Ki sailed for Dyea and Skagnay. She carried 145 , passengers and 600 . tons of freight. Among the cattle on ' board were 25 long-horned steers. Shortly after the collier Willamette left for Dyea, the passengers organized for police protection, the organization being named the Willamette and Klon dike Protective Society. Care was taken to prevent fire and all suspicious characters were watched. Before the boat reached Dyea, eight suspected men had been imprisoned. Valentine scrip jumped in price to $35 and $45 per acre, as the result of the rush to the Klondike gold fields. , Large blocks of scrip have been sold in I this oity, the intention being to locate property at Skaguay. Next Sunday the steamer Queen leaves for St. Michaels, with lumber. The A. S. Kerry Lumber Company sends the frame and lumber all fitted to build a hotel there to accommodate 150 people. The Queen will reach there in three weeks. Deputy Sheriff Calderhead has a let ter from ex-Deputy Adam Baker, dated Skaguay, August 7. He went on the Rosalie. The passengers formed a company to unload. Trouble ensued by one man assuming to boss. The miners drew guns and then took their individual goods ashore. The river, but a mile from camp, is 500 feet wide and swift, and there is continued loss of goods by horses fall ing in the current. Packs must be cut away to save the horses. Several horses were drowned August 6 and 7. Tired men are selling outfits at less . than cost. Thirty men are building a bridge half a mile up. It is a private snap. All would be well if ' the pros pectors would work together. Fell Through a Hatchway to Death.

Hopklna A Company's Review of Trade. Wheat sold at above $1 per bushel in all Eastern markets during the past week and there are prospects for much higher prices in the future. The marked and rapid advance in values during the week must be at tributed to legitimate influences. Speculation played but a minor part in causing the advance. The export de mand has been the principal factor in advancing values. The general posi tion of supplies is considerably stronger than a week ago. The European re quirements for American wheat as estimated by Bradstreet are now 192, 000,000 bushels as compared with pre vious estimate of 160,000,000 bushels. Estimates of American exportable sur plus have been somewhat reduced ow ing to general unfavorable thrashing returns from the spring wheat crop of the Northwest. In this connection while America must be congratulated upon having a bounteous crop of wheat with which to meet the increased ex port requirements, it must not be over looked that reserves from previous crops of spring and winter wheat are almost entirely exhausted. It will he impossible to meet any such export de mand as estimated by European statis ticians and also establish normal re serves in America. Conditions of sup ply and demand therefore apparently warrant still higher values, but the rapidity of the advances has momen tarily checked the export demand and some reaction is probable. There are several purely speculative conditions that may upset expectations and result in an unnatural advance. -Stocks of wheat are abnormally small. The Eu ropean shortage has encouraged large speculative purchases. The advance in values has reduced short selling. The result is a congested market, es pecially for September deliveries. The forward movement of the winter wheat orop has been small considering the large sales for export, and it is now too late for any material accumulation of wheat in this market until after Sep tember. We can only conclude after careful consideration that while tem porary reaction is naturally to be ex pected, present values are fully war ranted, higher values will obtain later and that wheat should be bought on all recessions.

"The brilliant speech which won that case," says the Cincinnati Commercial Tribune, "proved the man's remarkable will and intellectual powers. He had been so ill as to be confined to his bed, and on the day of the trial, while lying in bed, he jotted down on a sheet of foolscap paper the main points of his defense, lie was driven to the tribunal in a carriage, unable to walk, and spoke extempore for four hours and a half. At the close article XI was voted upon, and the president acquitted of the other arti cles. Since that time Mr. Groesbeck has lived a life of quiet and retirement. In 1872 he built Elmhurst, a noble house of superb proportions, command ing a river view of unsurpassed beauty. ' A bulletin (No. 7) of the division of entomology of the United States de partment of agriculture says that in France and Pennsylvania an industry has recently sprung up, which consists of the farming of spiders for the pur pose. of stocking wine cellars, and thus seouring almost an immediate coating of cobwebs to new wine bottles, giving . them the appearance of great age. This industry is carried on in a little French village in the department of Loire and near Philadelphia, where "Epeira vul garis" and "Nephila flumipes" are raised in large quantities and sold to the wine merchants at the rate of $10 per 100. This application of entomol-1 ogy to industry is one which will not ' be highly commended. I AN OPEN LETTER To MOTHERS. ; WE ARE ASSERTING IK THE COURTS OUR RIGHT TO THE .
