Varied Activities of Women.

For every 100,000 population in Norway there are six divorces. Forty-one women out of every hundred marry between the ages of 20 and 25. The average height of the female Japanese adult is less than 5 feet. Over 40,000 women are members of the Garment Workers’ union in New York state. Josephine D. Bacon, the authoress, declares that she can feed her family of five well on 49 cents a day. Lady Bathurst is proprietor of the Aborning Post, one of the newspapers in London. Miss Rose Murray, who cares for the health of the books in the New York public library, is a bibliographical sanitary engineer. English physicians who have been called to the battle front have in general left their practice at home in charge of women. iDr. Ethel Smyth, who recently occupied the conductor’s rostrum at a Philharmonic concert in London, is the first woman to so occupy the place and also the only English woman who has composed grand opera. 4' Bad coal is the ruination of domestic bliss.
