IN OTHER LANDS THANOURS

Marriage a Partnership in Burmah.
Marriage has no religious element il
Bun nah There is no marriage cers-
mony. Just as TWO men go into part
nership IN business, SO a man and wo-
man n22y enter into the marriage state
without undergoing any form. Coupled
with this very secular nonchalant
view OF marriage IS the fact that facil-
tiles for divorce are very great. As
marriage is merely a partnership, so
divorce is a dissolution CT that part
nership. and may be obtained on de-
mand by either CT the parties from
the elders Of the village. In Burmah
however, as elsewhere, we find that a
priori dangers are largely nsutralized
by practical gCod sense The fear Of
outraging public opinion furnishes a
powerful motive in prcpriety of life.
TIE salvation Of the Burmese woman
lies n the fact that her hCme life IS
always the center of her existence
She recognizes that there are certain
restrictions on wCmsn's actions
which must be observed as long as
men are men and women are women.

Eden Without an Adam-There is
in Russia a district which is wholly
administered and during most of the
year exclusively inhabited by women.
L is the province CT SmOlensk, and
comprises a district of about fifteen
square miles, from which all the able
bodied males emigrate in the spring
in search of work, remaining away
atl5ut nine months of the year. In
their absence the women cultivate the
fields and manage local affairs.
Before nightfall the women assemble
in a sort Of club house and play cards

BETTER LAW NEEDED
Property Owners Should Be Made to
Pay Their Taxes

Il IS a pity that Arizona has no laws
for compelling owners of property to
pay taxes On it, says the S3lomSnville
Bulletin, the present delinquent tax
law on the Arizona status books be
ing about as near no law as was ever
enacted by any legislature since the
world began, in cur Cp-nicn. Some
day there will be en- impC3tant test of
this law and then it will BE- found that
a man cannot be deprived OF his prop
erty without having day in cour5.
The old delinquent law in Arizona was
bad, but the one enacted in 1897 is in
fnitely worse. Il provided for the
sale Of property for taxes, by the tax
collector, without giving any individ
uaI notice to the owner, or describing
the property to be sold. Such a prop
csition, it is believed by men learned
in the law, violates enc OF the sacred
provisions of the constitution CT the
United States, which. in substance
says -. mans property shall not be
taken from him, except by law" This
Certainly means that a mans property
cannot be sold away from him until
some court renders a judgment author
iZing such a sale.
A large majority Of the people pay
their taxes from a sense of duty, but
there are many who will nsVer pay If
they GIN avoid it. 1t is for the latter

YAVApAI TEACHERS
Institute proCee dinds Thursday At
ternoon and Friday Evening.

The following excerpts are taken
from the report published in the Jour
nal-AIiner: z.F
First subject of the afternoon was
primary methods, by Miss Strange.
She gave very superior paper or
the subject, emphasizing the value of
reading. Miss Maria Hall followed
with another very interesting paper
on the same subject A Spirited de-
bate was carried on. between Miss
Strange and Miss Hall as to the mer-
its CT the Poland and othar phonetic
systems.
The next subject was music, which
was presented by Rev Mr.. Wyekoff in
a most helpful talk
Professor Matthews next took up the
subject of arithmetic In this talk
he handled the subjects of percent
age and interest, illustrating by prob
lens, showing the relation between
decimal fractions and per cent, and
urging that the principles he thor
oughly taught before the formulas are
given. The subject CT mental arith-
metic was discussed by Mr.. Cunning
ham and Professor Matthews. The
subject was closed by Superintendent
Cox, who gave lively drill in mental
arithmetic
FRIDAY MORNINGS SESSION.
The session opened with a bright
interesting paper on spelling. by Miss
Heller. She showed how DOOR SPELL
ing is the result of lack of observa-
ton, and called attention to the same
fact which Professor Rice once OBJ
served, that all methods of teaching
spelling gave very nearly the same
result
The subject was further treated by
Miss Cannon, who showed how the
dull old subject may be filled with in
terest After this Professor Matthew
gave an interesting view on reformed
spelling.
Miss Butler then presented the sub
ject of penmanship. Her paper showed
that she had given the topic much
thought.
Miss Alice Wlndes then spoke
sensibly on the Importance of keep
ing the best position in writing for the
good of the spine and the eyes. This
subject, which is always full of inter
est to every one, and which always
causes SO much debate. brought out
many opinions from those present.
Miss Hall and Professor Matthews
discussed vertical penmanship. and
Mr.. Piper mentioned many of the in
cOnveniences under which country
teachers and pupils work
After a brief recess J. n. Piper read
his paper on the Relation of the
Home to the School," putting into if
I'll his enthusiasm as both parent and
teacher. The home furnishes the first
opportunity for the development of
he child. The parent should assist
the teacher and the teacher should as
s.st the parent in the instruction of
he children.
This led to i discussion on the sub
lect Of visitors at schCol and what
those visitors expect when they come
TO the school room. The question of
changing the programme at the re-
quest of visitors was debated.
Superintendent Cox followed with
Scne very helpful advice to the teach
ars in which he mentioned some of the
things required of them. and gave
many suggestions for keeping good or
Ter and securing the best results dur
ing school hours. His remarks were

M'KlNLEY'S ACTION CRITICISED
CiVI-Service League Depiores Presidents
Recent Order.

indianapolis, Ind. Dec. 1S.-The Ma
tional Civil-Seryice league Friday
passed resolutions declaring the recent
order Of President Mckinley with
drawing several thousand places from
the classified service to be "the first
unmistakable backward step taken by
a federal administration since the
civil-service law was passed" Con-
gress is asked to remove the Legislative
restriction upon the consolidation of
postofflces, as the withdrawal of
fourth-class postmasterships from pa
tronage would offer most formidable
resistance to the remaining bulwarks
of the spoils system"
The league commends Gov. Roose-
welt of New York and Gov. Wolcotr OF
Massachusetts, for their efforts in be-
half of civil service.
The principal address Of the day was
by Charles J. Bonaparte of Baltimore,
who spoke on the "Spoils System in
the Government OF Dependencies"
The service, he said. must be kept out
of the hands of politicians and private
interests. The convention came to an
end in the evening with a banquet.

Particle, commanding at Manzanillo,
has had troops ready for immediate
action since Dec. 8, when three promi-

of the arrival of friends from Spain.
The Cubans claimed that the Span
iards were celebrating the death OF
Antonio Maceo, and mob, led by the
mayor, attacked the house and de-
manded the expulsion Of the offenders.
Capt. Particle interviewed and restored
order for the time being, but the mob

FOUR CITIES IN COMPETITION.

% to "a the republican national COM
mittee on the third ballot Friday Sc
lected Philadelphia as the place for
holding the next national convention,
having previously set June 10 as the
date.
Three ballots were taken. On the
first Chicago led with 20 votes, Phila-
delphia had Is, St Louis and New
York 7. On the second Chicago and
Philadelphia were a tie, with "a each,
and st. Louis had one vote, cast by Mr..
Richard Kerens. Before the roll call
for the third ballot he intended to vote
for Philadelphia. Had heInot taken
this unusual course, violating prece-
dents and practice, the result might
have been different.
The Payne resolution for the reap
portionment of delegates to the nation

of the republican vote cast in the
state and territories will not be pressed
at this meeting of the national commit
