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.

Ml SERVICE AGREEMENT
Semimonthly Trips to the
Klondike Region.
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.

WEEKLY MARKET LETTER.
Downing;. 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.

Remarkable Will Power.
The late William S. Groesbeck, of
Cincinnati, never took another law case
after his defense of President Andrew
Johnson. "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
