BUSINESS-LIKE ENDEAVOUR,
The lady explained, in a lull, that she was making a business-like effort to open'a new sphere of activity to women. Sandwichboard carr, ing, she admitted, did not sound parti. cularly enticing as a new profession for women, but under the new conditions which she pro posed to adopt it would not be quite the sâm e' thing as that with which the public were familias!

Thence he will proceed Borth to the Amur and make inquiries on the spot as to where scitable. dogs are most plentiful. By means of sledges he will then press further north from the Amur district to Yakut, a great sable centre in Yakutik, where animals, will probably be procurable.
Subsequently, still travelling alons, he may have to go to Dkbonk, and on to the Ver khoiansk Mountains, a region, which is des cribed as being almost, if not quite, the coldest in the world. Mr, Moates intenda to
get most of his dogs, particularly the main team leaders, io Siberis, but a few, lacluding | animals, for breeding, etc., will be obtained

This part of the work is likely to occupy be- tween three and four months, but it must be completed before the roads melt in order that the traveller may get back to Vladivostok in April. Should he be delayed he will have to take agy available steamer from Okkotik.
Mr. Meares will then commence the collec- tion of ponies in the constry round. Harbin. When the purchase of the necessary animals is completed all will be taken to Vladivostok and shipped to Kobe, where they will be trans- ferred to another staimer for conveyance to New Zealand. elegan ekank
