In Chicago thore is n woman's hotel
that so far is n success. The great expo
sition overshadows erything else, and
lady visitors who come sightseeing and
have no responsibility of getting up the
show accept things as they find them.
The womuA's hotel is called the Woman's
Dorhlhory, hut is no Sleepy Hollow in
spite Of its name. There are very wide
awake women here, 1t is a temporary
structure Of two stories, with three sto-
ries in the center, and occupies an entire
block in length and about a quarter of a
block in width. The Chicago blocks are
an eighth OF n mile long. and we soon ac-
compliSh mile walking about the house.
Il is built of plain white boards. Day
light comes through the cracks, and
when il rains the rain beats In. There
can be five fires in the five fireplaces. AS
the face gets hot the back gets cold, and
if the circle is 90 or 30 the fraction of
heat is small for each person such cold
days as We had in May.
The pine boards of the house ooze out
with the tar balsam, and that has no
doubt cured many Of influenza and
coughs. The doctors carriage does not
drive up though. We are 700 or 900
women, but each one is natural nurse,
and there are some who have the title of
NJ. ID. to their names. There are no mod
ern improvements in the house. There
is cold water, but not hot, except at GER

For years great war in Europe has
been looked for. Nobody knew Just
how or when it would begin, but the
world has been of opinion it would in
volve several of the great powers. Some
times it appeared as though it might be-
gin in Egypt on account of the British
assumptions there. Again tiny cloud
seemed to be rising in the Asiatic hori-
zon, just on the boundary line between
the Russian and British possessions. In
region least expected, Siam, the war
cloud has at last appeared. If France
makes unjust demands on Siam, it will
certainly not be tolerated by the other
powers of Europe, jealous as they are Of
any advancement or gain of one over
another. There is the possibility that
France, China, Russia and England may
lie engaged in the row on account of
Siam. If 80, Europe will be shaken. At
any rate the Siam trouble comes oppor-
timely for France just now. 1t will re-
awaken the patriotism of all classes and
make hem forget their faction fights
and strengthen the republic. Perhaps
that was why the French government
made SO much of the Siamese incident.

Girl and Bicycle.

Ward McAllister permits American
young women to ride tricycles because
the Princess of Wales and her daughters
ride tricycles. But it sis highly improp-
err" quoth Wardie, "for young women
to use bicycles" Dear! dear! A woman
mounted upon tricycle. looks like a
spider, it is true, and she can make no
sort of speed. Likewise the tricycle. is
fatiguing to operate; moreover, it is
rather apt soon to make creaking
sound that sets sensitive nerves crazy.
But if the Princess of Wales is will
ing to wear herself out and look like a
spider and not cover any distance worth
speaking of besides, of course that settles
it. But if some of our modest, merry, pref
ty American WON n who, with the full
approval of their parents, husbands or
grandmothers and without a thought of
improperly, fit gracefully through our
city parks every day upon bicycles, oc-
casionally taking long and health bring
ing tours in the same manner, get hold
of Wardie McAllister we wouldn't take
even chances on him. They would
tell him, these independent American
girls, that immodesty exists in his own
toadyish little mind and nowhere else.
If the Princess of Wales were to tide a
bicycle, appearing just once upon it,
Ward McAllister would see in bicySle
riding henceforth the most modest and
healthful of exercises for American
girls, and he knows it.

The army bill finally passed by the
new German parliament differs consid-
erably from the one on which the former
parliament went to pieces. It lessons
considerably the annual number of SOL
diers to be conscripted. 1t also makes
the term of actual service in the army
for the conscripts either two or three
years, according to the discretion of the
superior officers. If the man Is a
satisfactory soldier at the end Of two
years, so far as drill and discipline are
concerned, he may be discharged; other
wise he must be kept another year. It
may be observed, however, that it is not
the policy of the German military au-
thorities to let off many men under
three years. The greatest concession
made to the growing public sentiment
against increasing the German army
was in the diminished number of drafted
men called for. The only way the bill
was passed at all was through the
shrewdness of Caprivi in making an an
nouncement in reference to the bill be-
fore the final ballotings took place in
districts where second elections were re-
quired to determine the result. He an
nounced that the army bill to be intro.
duced in the new parliament would be
modified and made different from the
former one.

Nineteenth Century Education.


The New York School Journal con-
tains an interesting resume OF the
status of education at the close Of the
nineteenth century, In particular The
journal fclicitates the American people
on the mighty educational gains all
along the line In the past 80 years.
The Kindergarten is one of the estab-
lished facts in which the close of the
century may rejoice. With its advent
a new era Of progress and joy in learn
ing was opened before the school child.
A deeper sympathy with the childnature
is also one of the greatest gains for hui
mainly in our time.
Another magnificent step forward is
the improved schoolhouse. Here indeed
can be nothing but congratulation. The
traveller on railway train passes hurried
ly past village after village in tour
through the land. They are plain and
humble, most of them, especially in the
newer portions of the country, but in
every case where the place is even four
or five years old there will be hand
some and imposing school building, the
finest house in the town.
Then. too, the interest in education is
widespread. We are at last trying to
educate the negro and the Indian along
the lines the white race travelled to get
its civilization and learning. through the
path of work and manual training. One
of our greatest gains is the establishment
of manual training and trade schools,
and another is the introduction Of phys
ical culture into educational courses. So
is the increase in salary of the teacher.
Another gain is the Introduction of the
study of geometry into kindergarten
classes through the use of mathematical
forms and Ii es.
Concerning all these we may rejoice.
But when The Journal goes on and in
forms us that school compositions are
wonderfully better than they We're and
that the textbooks of a past generation
could not compare with those of the
present we simply do not accept it. The
vast influx of foreign children into our
schools has almost overwhelmed tempo
rarily the pure English language. So far
from being better than they were, COM
positions are not so good as they We're
when Garfield and Colonel Ingersoll
went to school. OF the present time
textbook the less said the better. 1t is
often loaded down with words, its mean
ing is muddy and heavy, and its average
author could not hold place in good
newspaper Office three days. He could
not write clearly and tersely enough.
