THE RED CROSS IN JAPAN.

Ono OF the noblest features OF tue
late war between Japan and China
was the work done BY the women en-.
rolled in the Red Cross Society OF the
former country. Clara Barton would
have been overjoyed could she have
been in Toxic just before the outbreak
of hostilities and seen the splcndiG!y
organized and disciplined Red Gross
army OF patriotic and philanthroric
men and women that gave IN exhibi-
ton parade and drill in that city. The
japanese armies departed for Korea
and China accompanied by Rel Cross
detachments. \ large body OF the
life saving army remained at home to
attend the military hospitals, which
were opened the moment war was de-
clared. The geueral-in-chief OF the
Red Cross Was the Empress OF Japan.
Her first aide WIS the Countess Mere,
and after her Lady Ito, La ly Aato
and score OF other women Of high
rank. Before the wounded reached
home the Red Gross women had taken
q course OF instruction in nursing,
medicine and surgery. Many Of them
studied eight hours day, and even
after their stern work began in the
hospitals continued their studies SO rs
to lit themselves thoroughly for the
discharge Of their duties. In January
there were 80 nurses and twenty wo-
men doctors in the japanese hospitals,
aal in March the number had gone mp to
$50. In the Imperial Palace there were
long SESSIONS every day in which tue
ladies' Of the court prepared caroo!ated
lint, antisap:ic dressings, bandages,
belts, cholera b4n;l;, slim IS ;.ad other
appliances. Altogether it is estima ated
that 10 less than three thousand wo-
men have served in the Red Cross
army 0! Japan during the conflict in
far East. The isiau:l cmpire may well
feel proud OF its brave and humane
daughters. New York Mail and E1.

WOMAN's PROGRESS.

In Colorado the new woman has re.
cei7ed more public recognition in tie
way Of election to important offices
than in any other State. In Kansas
women have been elected to minor
Offices for fifteen years, but, with the
exception Of Mrs. Lease, none OF them
has been called to higher than village
or township Offices. 4 Mrs. Mace King
has Just been nominated, however, for
Register Of Deeds in Dickinson Coun-
tv, Of which Abeline is the seat. In
Colorado the State Superintendent OF
Public Instruction is Mrs. A. J.
Peavey. The State Superintendent
Of Dairy Inspection is Mrs. Glenn
mer, who, discovering since election
that the duties Of the position are
onerous and often distasteful, has ap-
pointed her husband e deputy, with
full powers. While he prowis about
looking for contraband oleomargarine
she remains at her country home,
looks after the children and only jour
news down to Denver each month to
draw her salary. The Secretary Of the
State Board OF Horticulture is Mrs.
Martha A. Shute. She is an expert in
her profession. In the new State Of
Wyoming most of the counties have
had women Us School Super;
for years, but Mrs. Estella Reed,
State Superintendent Of Schools,
elected last fall, was the first woman
to hold q State Office. North Dakota
