LOST IN A MAZE.
Some of the Queer ideas of the
Advanced Woman"

Most women, and l am afraid good
many men, too imagine that book
learning is synonymous with education,
says the Countess of Desart in the Ma
tional Review" 1t never strikes them
that II IT were so our bookwormS would
be the great leaders of humanity. They
see games playing a great part IN
| boys schools, and they Immediately
wish these games introduced into girls
schools. They fancy that if only the
! girl could be taught as the boy is
taught she would become in spite of
| her dress a man. This sounds a re-
ductiO ad absurdum. but is it not. in
| plain language, to be understood of the
| people, the meaning of the clamor for
! girls cricket and football, for uni
versity education for girls, for the
| opening of all careers and all profess
sions to girls? Because boys come and
| go alone, and it is good for them to
! learn to fend for themselves therefore
! chaper0ns for girls should be abolish
! ed. Because men in knickerbockers
can travel ever so much farther with
out fatigue on their bicycles than wo
men, therefore women should be made
| to wear divided skirts, and then they
will be able to go as far and as fast
| as men.
| Could anything be more unconnected,
more illogical than these sets of prop
ositions? Yet they are warmly and
strenuously advocated by women who
take themselves most seriously.
But if you wish to realize fully the
maze III which the advanced" woman
has lost herself, take her views about
marriage Listen to her argument that
| because, according to her ideas, the
bargain" as she will probably call it,
| has been too much in favor of the
| bridegroom; therefore, in future it
should be a great deal too much in
favor of the bride. The contract on
which the sanctity of the family and
! the welfare of the rising generation
mainly depends, she thinks should be
one to be repudiated at will. for any
caprice. any whim. Above all. her old
! sphere, the home, is far too lowly. too
humble for any one With the slightest
| talent TO be wasted on it. 1t should be
| looked upon as the last resource, the
| final refuge of the poor spirited, the
! mentally destitute.

The Santa Rosa Press" speaks of its
public library of that city as one of
its best and most useful institutions
and suggests that it be opened on sun
DAYS if it can be shown that such an
order will add to its usefulness, and 10
the benefit of the community. The
wonder is that the Press should at
1ach any proviso TO its suggestion. In
Sacramento the Free Library is open
on Sundays, and has been since its
foundation in the long ago. So, too,
are the City Art Gallery and the rooms
of the Museum Association. We can
not conceive of any well-advised intel
ligence for a single instant doubling
the propriety of keeping libraries open
on Sunday. On the contrary, we can
scarcely understand any person who
asks that they be closed. The benefi-
cence of open Libraries and museums
and art galleries is so obvious, so di-
rectly in line with good morals. quietude
and general good, that it is very diff
cult 10 think of them closed on the
first day of the week. The devil keeps
his workshops open night and day, and

The statements of Consul General
Lee dissipate the glamor Of romance
that has been thrown about the case
of the Cisneros girl by the yellow press.
1t appears that she is not in distress
though a prisoner, and that while she
is locked up, she has unusually good
quarters, and is in good health; that
she has not even been placed on trial
yet, and that had not the sensational
journals with an eye single to boosting
themselves into Importance in the pub
lie estimation plunged into the case
so irrationally. the girl would long since
have been discharged. 1t is evident
that the yellow press has induced a
good many we'll meaning people and
impressionable women Of prominence TO
make fools of themselves by the hys-
terical appeals that have been sent on
to the Queen Regent of Spain. the Pope
and other persons in high authority. In
short. this Cisneros excitement has put
the American people into a most ri
diculous attitude, and will tend to
render our influence powerless when
a case arises in which it should be ex-
erted in the cause of humanity.

and viii be bedded ia gravel laid in
trenches and fastened together at the
Joints and in the center. On hills they

obtain a firm foothoId. Such a road is
expected to be durable and TO reduce
the tractive resistance from forty
pounds per ton on a macadam sur
face 10 eight pounds per ton on the
steel tracks On a short road, the cost
for tracks and fittings would be $1,000
per mile. A line several miles in length
could be built for 81 900 per mile This
is for track weighing 100 tons per
mile. A track for lighter traffic and
weighing less could be built proper

The protest is intended TO keep the number of
