A foreign writer has been at pains to
give a category of the points of differ
cnce between the typical women of the
three leading nationalities, 1t is not
recommended as en- infalliblc one, but
it certainly is interesting. "a French
woman loves to tho end of her honey
moon, the English woman her whole
life, tho German woman forever. Tho
French woman takes her daughter to
the ball, the English woman talzco her
to church, the German woman gives her
employment in the Kitchen. The French
woman has spirit and imagination, tho
English woman has little taste, the Ger
man woman modesty. Tho Frcnch
woman chats, the English woman
speaks, the German woman renders de-
cisions. The Spanish woman kills lcr
lover in jealousy, tho French woman
her rival, the German woman simply re-
nounces, but all ut some time marry

THE MILITARY ACADEMY.
Suggestions and Comments by Super.
intendent Wilson.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 20 Col. John M.
Wilson, superintendent Of the military
academy. has submitted his report to the
secretary Of war for the year ending Aug
81 last. He expresses himself IS favorable
to moderate increase of the corps Of
cadets by restoring to the President the
privilege of appointing ten cadets q. large
each year, and renews the recommendation
that applicants be physically examined at
or near their homes before reporting st the
academy for the mentsl examinations.
The superintendent says;
"During the past year the condition OF
the corps Of cadets ~ regards drill, disci-
pline, and instruction has been excellent ;
there has not been single odense brought
to the knowledge of the authorities which
has received the severe punishment Of dis
misssl or suspension. As rule the young
gentlemen seem to appreciate the privilege
extended to them by the country snd to be
ready to aid the disriD guished professor and
officers in charge Of departments and their
accomplished assistants In maintaining the
splendid reputation, for instruction, disci.
pline and drill for which West Point is SO
justly noted"
Col. Wilson suggests that the observatory
at the academy be utilized in connection
With pos graduate course for young Of.
ficers ia the practical determination Of
time, latitude. longitude and the meridian.
II two or three army officers annually re-
ceived such instruction their services would
be available for general explorations and
surveys. The report also touches upon the
condition Of the academy band, and recon-
mends legislation that Ahsll admit OF its re
organization.
The superintendent sgsin calls atte nsion
to the absolute necessity for replacing the
obsolete and dangerous artillery with
mordern ordnance; to the need for more
horses and the placing OF the light battery
on an independent footing II is not antici-
pated that the new academy building will
be completed before August. 1893 Asthe
old KinsIey mansion is iDconveniently stu
ased for officers quarters. the superinten-
