The enterprise of the modern woâ€" man is strikiogly illustrated by the facts and figures contained in the tenth volume of the British Census for 1911, which has just been issued after three years‘ preparation. For ten years, between 1901 and 1911, there was quite a rush of women to various fields of maseculine employâ€" ment. For instance, there were wnly 367 women law clerks in 1901, but within ten years the figure had bounded up to 2,159. In the same period the number of women doeâ€" tors increased from 212 to 495, while in commerce the number of women employed had risen from 59,944 to 261 .847 . â€" meciate effect is to divert the $15,â€" 100,630 a day that the Russian peoâ€" ple formerly spent for vodka to wther purposes.

No Secrecy About Him. There was no secrecy about his movements. He went on his way very quietly, but very busily. He went everywhere and did everyâ€" | thing.

To prevent this the bottles should be covered with a bag of thick felt, or double blanket, before being placed in the bed. To fill a stone or earthenware bottle, stand it in front of the fire until quite hot ; or, if there is no time for this, fill it with hot water until the ibottle itâ€" self ‘has absorbed the heat.

He was not boastful of this power. It was a statement for the assurance of the disciples made when he was living with them. It was doubly assuring to them now as he came from the dead, and was in the nature of a password which would authenticate his identity. 17.
