THE MARRIED WOMAN'S REIGN,

Tn- married woman plays much
larger part in cur society today than
she did ten years ago, aud the almighty
girl has lost some Of her supremacy,
writes I. Marion Crawford in his
delightful study OF The American
Woman," as seen after an absence OF
len years, in the April Ladies' Home
IHJNaL We are not ruled by Daisy
Miller as we once were, though the
foreigner still seems tc think SO, and
makes the girl the central point in most
of his sketches Of Americans abroad.
BE-. Daisy Miller was very real and
living person when Mr.. Henry James
immortalized her. 1t was thought at
the time by many that she represented
a tendency in the future. 1t seems to
me, on the contrary, that she was even
then becoming relic OF the past. The
omnip0tence Of the pert maid is most
complete IN the village, where she
necess 2rily has more leisure, lighter
heart and less to think of, than the
farmers wife or the laboring mans help
mate. The impression she produces
comes from her vitality, not from her
Intelligence. Marriage in the life OF
the village is a much more series affair
than iD the state of life to which society
considers that it is called. 1t means hard
work, large family, mouths to feed
and clothes to wash. In other words,
it means service, if not servitude, even
with the assistance of the modern farm
ing machinery, which did not exist in
the days when Daisy Miller's progen-
trIx began to be, and when such a state
of things as exists in our time was not
even dreamed of. The village drama,
If the village had one no doubt is funda-
mentally like the drawing room tragedy
of our time, but the actors were not
the same. They were generally consi-
der4hly Younger, and brought more
activity and less thought to the events
in which the played part more senti-
mentality and less passion. more con-
ventional stage business and less
original power. In the pastoral state
none but the very young had time fer
much sentiment. But we have chang
e1 all tat, and Daisy Miller no longer
plays the 'Ieading lady" in the comedy.
That is sign Of civilization, because
civilization means all that which dimir-
ishes the difficulties of material exis-
tence and tends to develop what we
have agreed to call the higher side of
human nature.

THE IMPROVEMENT OF HORSES.

The sooner the farmers in the United
States realize the fact that the ordinary
and commonly bred horse is likely to
deteri0.ate in value year by year, the
better it will be for them. The use OF
cables to drag street cars has already
reduced the service performed by horses
in the cities, aud the extension of the
trolly System into the suburbs and the
perfection of electric motors will relieve
many other thousands OF horses from
such service Ii has mol been so very
long since nearly all the threshlng was
done by horses now only very small
percentage OF even the threshing
machines are worked by horse power.
Practically all Of the ploughing is now
done by horses; but cheap and
practically steam plough will be shown
to visitors to the Worlds Fair, and it is
not improbable that in ten years from
now quite large percentage of plough
ing will be done without the aid of
horses. The need in the cities and on
farms for fewer horses will tend more
and more to reduce their market valve.
Commonly bred horses will be the first
to deteriorate in price indeed, 1t is
doubtful whether finely bred horses
will suffer at at al. There is no reason
why they should. The purpose for
which they are used will not be affected
by any inventions revoluuonizlng
methods OF transportation or tillage.
Even though we could fly in the air
with balloon entirely under control,
spin on the road behind a pair of
trotters or gailop across the country
would give just as much pleasure as
ever it gave. Tie horses who get the
blue ribbons in the horse shows will
continue to be as valuable as ever,
while humber animals-those that drag
street cars and ploughs-wll be less
valuable year by year.

A Big Canal.

A bill for the construction of a
canal from the Gironde to the
Mediterranean is under considera.
ton in the French chamber of
deputies. The proposed canal will
be about 1928 miles long and l43 feet
wide, except at points where vessels
can pass each other. where it's width
will be over 200 feet. The depth
will be 274 feet, and there will be
twenty-five double locks. A conces>

Indians as Soldiers.

N. 7. Tribunel
These dispatches recently con.
tanned the views of a number of
practical officers Of the army on the
subject of Indians as soldiers, the
effect Of which was that Indians had
been tried and after careful training
had been found failures as we'll dis
ciplined troops. According to these
officers Indians lacked that sense of
prompt and faithful obedience to
orders essential to perfect discipline,
and no amount of patience and hard
work could supply the deficiency in
their makeup.
Captain P. II. Ray, Eighth Infan.
try, commanding company of
Indians at Fort Washakie, differs
from majority of his brother
officers on the Indian question, and
has recently given expression to the
opinion that the red man has not
had a fair trial, and that the popular
idea Of his military qualities is a
false one. Captain Rays express.
ions on the subject deserve consid
eratiYn, as his long service with
Indians qualities him as good
judge Of them. In a recent com
mun'cation on this subject Captain
Ray said:
II believe and know that the
Indian, if properly handled, can be
made good soldier. The trouble
is that he is not generally so handled.
At present he is subjected to the
methods prescribed for the white
man. This is a mistake. He should
be taken as an Indian and trained
as such, and his original traits and
qualities developed and perprtuated.
Except as to food and clothing he
should be trained and controlled as
an Indian pure aud simple. Natur.
ally he is an effective fighter, and
under command of his own people
he is sufficiently subordinate.
We destroy his individuality and
usefulness by demanding of him
impossible conditions and results.
If We will but regard the Indian rs
separate but important factor of the
army, and treat him accordingly in
military methods, the problem is
solved and the gain very considera.
bile. This, in my opinion, IS the
secret of Indian civilization. 1t is
the quick st, surest and most hu
name system that can be followed

WHAT IL A STATE ATTORNEY GEN.
ERAL FOR, ANYHOWa

In appearing for the officials in the
deputies case, Attorney General
Parsons has placed himself in wha,
seems to Us very singular position.
A. Attorney General he receives a
regular salary from the people; ye,
here he appears against the people.
Furthermore, il the case goes to the
Supreme Court he will, by virtue Of
his Office, have the duty devolving
upon him Of appearing before tina,
tribunal to sustain the interests OF the
people Of Alturas county. For this is
his principal duty. 1t is tho duty Of
the Attorney General to appear in all
cases wherein tho people of the State
10 q party.
Yet, how can he. when he has
already accepted . retainer from the
other side, do justice to tho people
to those who elected him. aud thus
retained him for their side?
We do not believe there is any law
which prevents an Attorney General
from doing ~ Mr.. Parsons is doing.
But there arc few, il any, instances
on record where q States Attornev,
elected and paid by the people, has
appeared in opposition to them. And
- there is no law to prevent there
ought to DO. Otherwise, what is the
use Of having an attorney general?
