At the inquest on the victim it
carte out in evidence that a certain
lady, who had not been identified,
had bought strychnine at a local
chemist's and had signed t he name
"Wood" in his register of sales of
pol,jons. Christiana Edmunds,
learning that importance was at-
tached to this signuture, actually
wrote 1t letter to the chemist, which
she signed pith the Coroner's name,
and despatched it to the shop by
a boy, requesting hint to hand the
bearer the register book for examin-
ation.
Tho book was unsuspectingly hand-
ed to the buy, who carried it to
Edmunds, who tore out. what she
believed was tho entry, and then re-
turned .the: velum. by her messenger.
At t1te trial it appeared that Ed-
munds had, ' in her terror and con-
fusion, abstracted an entry signed
by another customer named Wood.
The signature, the letter forged in
the Coroner's name and letters avow-
edly written by Edmunds were all

BAD PLACE FOR WOMEN.
In Alaska All the Drudgery It
Done By Them.
The reader can scarcely conceive of
greater hardships in life than the -
people who inhabit the Arctic coast
of Alaska endure. Life is to them
a serious struggle. Their faces tell
it. Wooten twenty years of age show
that they have borne exposure and
hardshii s which have already made
then) prematurely ol(i.
The farther south of the Arctic cir-
cle they live, the less they have to•
endure, as the struggle to maintain
existence is less of a strain and of-•
fort, and the cold is not so (teaoly
in its work.
All the drudgery in• life is done by
the women, and the growing girls
get their share nsslgnect them quite•
early enough. Scarcely one child out
of five survives and grows up, and
it is net tllle0u11uon !n winter for
both child and mother to be frozen
to death.
In hunting expeditions the women
carry the burdens and do the other
hard work; in whaling, they cut up
the blubber, drag it to the srettlement
with the aid of doge; and stow it
down in caches; and in the daily
routine of life the hard work is prac-
tically all theirs.
They are devoted to their children,
in fact, to all children, never scold-
ing or punishing then!, and if a woe
man sees a child in trouble, she will
go at once to its relief. Children
who do live are carefully reared and
devotedly cared for.
In case of n _shortage of food sup-
ply of the settletnenl, the women are
the first. to be turned out to die, and
they accept their lot without com-
plaint, willingly leaving to the hus-
bands and children whatever chances
of living there may be in the small
allowance of food at hand,
