WOMEN At THE HELM.
A Place in Russia Where the Housewife
Run the Government.

Place In Russia Where the Housewives
Run the Government.
Among the curiosities of the Russian
dominions is a group of commines in
the government of Smolensk, surround
ing the convent of Besjukow, where not
only do women vote, but where they
practically do all the voting and office
holding.
AS the returns from agriculture arc
very meager in the district, and there
are large towns not far away, the male
inhabitants of the Besjukow neighbour
hood emigrate to these towns early in
spring to find work, leaving few but
women and children at home, and not
coming home to attend to the little mat
ter of voting.
lnasmuch as the women have to do
all the farm work as well as the house.
work in this singular community, it
does not seem strange that they rather
insist upon holding the offices, and not
assigning them to such old men as may
be about. Furthermore, it is said that
they have for a period of several Years
managed all the public affairs of the
Besjukow district so well that the men
are quite content to abandon the tedi-
Gus work of government to them.
Sometimes, when the head woman
OF the joint communes is presiding over
public assembly of women to pass
upon important financial and other
concerns, certain of the men have been
known to come home for the purpose of
merely looking on and admiring the
method of procedure-or else of heart.

The Pennsylvania Railroad Co.. i

The Pennsylvania Railroad Co., is
constructing, ats its Juniata shops in
Altoona, Pa, the largest, heaviest and
most powerful freight engine ever de.
signed. 1t is intended to haul ore from
the lakes to Pittsburgh over the Erie
and Pittsburgh road, in competition
with Carnegies new line. It will not
differ from the standard PENNSYLVANIA
railroad freight engine except in size
and weight, but, as it will have double
the hauling capacity of the class r
freight engine now in use, this differ
ence is of the greatest Importance.

A PROCESS is in vogue by which it is
claimed that whitewood can be made so
tough as to require a cold 'chisel to
split it. The result is obtained by
steaming the timber, and su limiting it
to end pressure, technically upset
ting" it thus comprising the cells and
fbers into one compact mass. It is
the opinion of those who have had ex-
perience with the process that wood
can be compressed IS per cent, and
that some timber, which is now con-
sidered unfit for such work as carriage
building, could be made valuable by
this means

On the bluebells that grew in the shade.

Unawares while we aimlessly strayed.
They were dearer than aught that awaits
IN the vast,

Can the future restore to the heart Of the
The unsullied delights Of the boy?
Can the years which are part of futurity's
Give him back youths unreasoning JOY?

In the innocent mirth Of the laddie who

Idle fancies! Nomore in the days that may

Shall he live as he lived when he played
In the hope-haloed years that are faded

Sousa Next Thursday.

There will be a thrilling demonstration
in honor OF sousa's return 10 this city.
after his personal triumphs In Europe.
when his concerts are given at thu Ar
mory on the afternoon and evening of
Thursday. March 4.
Sousa Is so deeply intrenchsd In the af-
fsctions Of music lovers from one end Of
this country TO the other that his recog-
milton abroad as the representative COM
poser OF America Is personal compliment
to every Sousa admirer In the land One
OF Sousas most significant triumphs was
In severe and classic Germany. even in
Berlin. the very citadel of German musical
tradition and power. While there he was
accorded the unusual distinction of an In
vitation from the Berlin Philharmonic
Bias Orchestra TO conduct one OF their
concerts Sousa naturally and willingly
accepted. The result was an ovation from
a great audience gathered 20 do him honor
and from the players themselves. over
which his native supporters would havs
waxed eloquent. The Berlin press. with
out an exception, awarded the magnetic
conductor high place in the calendar Of
musical art aGN paid his personality the
same tributes universally accorded him
by their American eompeers.
Comparisons may sometimes be aniss
and at others entirely TO the proper point
As they reflect upon Sousa. II Is certain
that what Jefferson is TO comedy. niger
soil TO oratory or Melsa to song, so Is
sousa 10 the genuine edmirer OF good
music. No musician. no conductor Of the
generation has ever approached this quiet.
graceful leader-conpossr In the extent 10
which he possesses tho affection of those
who love pure melody, graceful rhythm,
or the thrilling strains Of martial music.
He simply stands alone. and his influence
and the regard which he inspires are rap
Idly and constantly increasing.
As far as SouSa's men are concerned. II
would be difficult 10 imagine = more thor
oughly balanced organization Zach
section IS distinct in itself. Yet responding
with splendid unity TO the baton. One
never overpowers the other in volume.
This shows the intelligence and art Of the
instrumentalists and the acute conception
u their director. The absence Of suited
maunerls1as makes Sousa an ideal direc-
tor lie is as much at home In the read
Ing OF master works as in conducting =
jolly plantation pot-pourrf or one Of his
own marches. And be never INDUCES in
any unnecessary antics while on the plat
form. He IS always IN perfect repose,
watching intently the work OF his men.
