OF INTEREST TO WOMEN.

a Paris paper OF recent date pro-
sents Its readers with a collection OF
opinions by certain French women OF
letters on the eternal man and woman
question. The French writer's have
been accused of hardness. and even
animosity, toward men. One of them
replies that she paints men in her nov
els as she finds them, and that there
are plenty OF bad men In the world.
Another points out that m no
longer kept in ignorance, observe.
learn and mark. The old illusions are
gone; h old sentiment no longer ex-
lists; the unmarried women not only
know what men do, learn and practice:
they themselves have descended nito
the arena: they are the competitors Of
men; often they are victorious rivals.
Thus the old respect for n superior in
tellect has been destroyed. A third
declares that the old-fashioncd love, In
which two sought to become one, Is no
longer possible: the old glory and Joy
OF suffering for loves sake. OF making
sacrifices for love, has entirely van.
ished. A fourth says that the con.
flict OF the sexes Is not real, but only
pretended: that the law OF nature
makes them necessary to each other,
and she %prophesles that SO long as
man can preserve the appearance OF
superiority he will be satisfied. while
the reality will belong to woman.
Adam" says one, very sagaciously,
would not have tasted that apple il
Eve had climbed the tree in order To
pick 1t for him. 1t must always be the
man who picks the fruit This Is n
very pretty illustration, not only OF the
point at issue. but also OF the profound
acquaintance which the writer pos
sesses OF scriptural history, because.
IL you remember, 1t vas Eve, and no,
Adam, who picked that apple. A fifth
writer very severely points out that

this accomplishment for the purpose
Of proving the cruelties, the f~alsehood,
the wickedness, the %stupidities OF men,
their lawmakers. and they ask whether

THE reign" says another reformer,
"of emancipated woman is certainly
the end Of mans love, for the essential
element Of mans love Is that OF pro-
lection"
Remark that all this talk OF eman-
clpated woman goes on without touch
ing In the least degree the lives or
the opinions OF the great mass, COM
ments Sir Walter Besant. The mil
lions go on marrying and being mar
ried. They go on believing that they
love each other in the most absurdly
old fashioned and ridiculous manne
The girls may have found out how
wicked, stupid. cruel, vile, villainous,
foolish, short-sighted. weak, ignorant,
selfish. greedy, avaricious, dishonest all
men are-does not history clearly prove
it?--but every one knows exceptions.
They are not In the least angry with
men. or DESTROYS OF turning everything

COXEY'S LATEST.

Coxey of industrial army fame
has decided that it is more in
keeping with his comfort and con-
venience to ride than to walk, and
has therefore had him built g pc
culiarlv constructed car TO CONT

state. His mission now is TO sgi-
tate tho necessity of goods roads.
to secure which he is advocating
the issuance of bonds by the coun-
tries in which the roads are to be
made better. His idea in this
campaign is to make better roads
for his next commonweal army to
travel on. This circuslike Car
was recently built to his order and
according to his design, at Lima.
1t is sixty feet in length and has
a stable at one end large enough
to accommodate six horses, and as
many attendants, whose hunks are
arranged therein. The other end
of the car is being used for tran.
sporting three wagons, tents and
other paraphernalis necessary for
the campaign. It 10 his attention
to visit every county in every state

on his work of getting good roads,
During his stay at every place he

The Feast of the Roses.

A unique celebration occurs in June
of every year at Mannheim, Pennsyl.
vania, according to the Ladies Home
Journal 1t is known as the feast Of
roses, and is held to commemorate the
benevolence Of Baron Stiegel, who
more than a century and a quarter ago
leased a tract of land at Mannheim to a
congregation for church site at an
annual rental of one red rose to be paid
in June of each year. After Baron
Stiegers death the rent was never de-
manded until few years ago, and now
il is formally paid to one Of the baron's
descendants. The occasion is known as
1.-THE feast Of roses" and the quaint
ceremony attracts the greatest interest.

GLAD SHE DIDN'T YELL

hitting Suicide.

A certain East end man delights in doing
i'd Jobs about his home lie cuts his grass
and trims the walks, and handles a paint
brush like an old master. Carpenter tools
some handy to him, too, and the sound Of his
merry saw makes pleasant music for the
who have no objection to being
awakened early. In short he is a clever all
round workman, and decidedly handy to
have about the house.
One day not long ago the woman Of the
house next door happened to come out on her
back porch. There she casually looked over
the low fence into the handy mans yard.
What she saw scared her so that she couldn't
move hand or foot. The handy man was ~
ng prone on his back, his body concealed
beneath his porch, but with his face in strong
relief. lie was very pale, his hair was dis.
ordered, and his eyes were rolled up aud
liked in a CHASTITY intentness Against his
breast he seemed to be pressing some deadly
weapon that glistened as a ray of light
touched it.
The woman on the porch tried to scream,
and couldn't. She knew toe handy man was
committing suicide.
He painted, his face grew red, and his form
seemed cOnvused.
The woman on the porch caught her agon
zed breath and was about to let out AZ
horse power yell when she heard the sup
posed suicide anXiously ask:

eyes," said voice from above, "it beer
yoost through"
About this time the woman on the porcl
understood that the handy man was borini

that the deadly weapon was an auger, anC
that the hired girl was on hand to watcl
the operation.
Then the woman on the porch was glad sh

it necessary to touch with precision

JAPANESE SCHOOLS.
The Progressive Little Sunrise King
dom Has Adopted Western Ways
in Training Children.

Miss Ida Tigner Hodnett contributes
to St. Nicholas a second and concluding
article on The Little japanese at
Home" Miss Hodnett says;
japanese children used to sit upon
their heels in the school-room, grouped
round their master on the soft mating,
chanting together their Iroha, or read
ing in concert the wise maXims from
their readers which have been the men
tai food of countless generations of
their race. A change has come, and
now they sit on benches before desks
in western fashion, though they do
not think this method of sitting very
comfortable, and are glad on returning
home to indulge in the usual squat.
But they still recitc in concert, in a
monotonous sort of chant, the Iroha
(ee-ro-hah), which corresponds to our
alphabet.
Under the former system of school
ing, all japanese children learned to
read and write the Hiragana charac-
tiers, and to calculate; and it was an
unheard of thing for a grown person to
be unable at least to read and write,
and do simple calculation. They were
seldom sent to school before the age of
seven, and were not hard pressed in
their studies. In learning to write,
they were acquiring the dexterity of
finger and wrist needful in drawing,
and without doubt their method of
writing is one of the traits which have
tended to make the japanese a nation
of artistic tendencies. A soft paper
is used, and a brush instead of a pen.
Care and eXactness are necessary, ow-
ing 10 the nature of the materials, and

HUMBLE BUT USEFUL.
The Little Gray Earth-WOrm Is Poor

Myrta Lockett Avery tells in st

humble earth-worm. The author says:

He wears little gray coat, and he lives

himself, Our little gray helper has no

lie works busily for us all day in the
ground, under our feet, coming out
chiefly at night to get his food. Then
he does not take anything which anyone
wants, but only fallen leaves and bits
of stuff which no one cares about, and
which are best out of the way.
Although much less fortunate than
we, having neither legs nor feet, nor
hands, nor eyes, nor ears, he has all
that is necessary to the performance
of the work he mas to do; and since our
little gray helper has all he needs, and
does his work, and does it well, we may
think of him as being quite content and
happy. And since the work that he
does for us is very necessary and i'm.
portant work, and since he does it ex.
cellently well, we need not regard him
with less than respect.
He has a system of blood-vessels, a
nervous system, and-yes, a brain.

microscope and in relation to the
work he has to do, he is quite an in

how to get it, Though he has neither
eyes nor hands, before taking anything
into his cave, he examines it carefully
by means of his one sense (touch), and
with his little upper lip, which the
scientists call prostomium. This lip is
very sensitive.
He is prudent and thrifty, always
