THE ITALIAN WOMEN.
with hut Few Exceptions They Are
Behindhand In the March
of Progress.

The rather low standard of her cul-
ture tends also to keep the Italian wom-
an behindhand in the march of emanci-
patton, though one comes across re-
markable exceptions among those oc-
cupied with education or literature, and
even IN society. The Italian has a very
acute intelligence, which takes in with
extraordinary promptitude anything
presented to her mind; but she does not
cultivate it; once her studies ended she
closes her books; "adieu paniers, ven
DANCES sont faites!" That most useful
help TO feminine intellectual develop
ment, reading, has not yet become a
habit with her. There are countries
where books are more used by women
than by men; rich, they buy them; poor
they have the lending library; in their
yearly expenditure, no matter how
small il be, literature has its place.
There is nothing like this in Italy. With
the exception Of small minority, the
women do not read, and have no wish to
read. Their celebrated ancestresses of
the sixteenth century must look at
them with reproachful eyes. II the
shade of the President dies Brosses re-
crossed the Alps he would find no Maria
Gaetana Agnesi, called the oracle OF
seven languages and the servant of the
poor, and declared by him TO be more
marvellous than Milan cathedral. Bene-
dict XIV. granted permission to this
learned Milanese lady 10 take her faith
er's place as professor of mathematics
at the University of Bologna during an
illness Of the latter. As just a hundred
years have elapsed since her death, her
first centenary might have been cele-
brated in 1899; but no one thought Of it.
The tradition of feminine learning Is
lost in Italy; indeed, it was Lost long
before the time of Maria Gaetana Ag-
nesi. The italian OF to-day may yet
prove herself capable of emulatirg her
great forerunners; butin the meantime
it is certain that modern ideas have
made so much less way with her than
with the women of other European
countries that she offers a more for
midable resistance than even the men
of her own land to any effort at reform
in favor of her sex. This inferiority
of culture has the double effect of great
~ limiting the number Of women capa-
bic OF taking any part whatever in pub
lie affairs, and OF creating an utter want

personnel. This obstruction TO the en-
actmert Of corrective laws finally ter
minated while Mr.. Roosevelt was as
sistant secretary of the navy in the or
gauization of q board with that official
as its head, to formulate plan for the
increase Of the navy and the reHef OF
its personnel. The branches affected
mainly were the line and the engineer
corps, aDd the approved measure, as in
corporated on the statute books, pro-
vided for the amalgamation Of the line
and engineer corps. Officers below
certain grade were 10 be transferred TO
The line. Other officers were TO elect
to remain as engineer officers or to be-
come line officers, and still other en-
gineer officers, those Of the highest
grade, were TO continue on engineering
duty, but all of them were to have line
titles. The course at the naval academy
has been changed in accordance with
the so-caIled personnel law so as to az
ford the cadets a knowledge Of steam
engineering, while the special course
in that study has been abandoned.
With the amalgamation of the line and
the former engineer corps, there Will
be eventually and at an early day no
engineer officers on board ship who are
trained in the rapidly developing and
constantly broadening speciality OF
naval enginering.-N. Y. Independents.

Then he made a little slow-up and

LELAND HASN'T HEARD OF 1T.
The Rumor of Pension Office Invest
igation Not Credited by Fed
eral Officers.

Cyrus Leland, pension agent,
knows nothing of the investigation
which it has been said the civil
service commission expects to
make concerning his management
of the affairs Of the pension Office
because of alleged discrimination
against democrats. The informa-
ton concerning the proposed in
vestigation was furnished by Pat
rick Hickey. Hickey was former
ly proprietor of a second hand
store in Emporia, but gave up the
business there to except a position
in the pension Office under Mr.
Click. Hickey resigned some
time ago. Harry Tracy. Mr.. Lee
lands private secretary, said to-
day:
Hickey resigned because he
expected a delegation from the
head Of the department to beg him
10 stay in the office, but his depar-
ture did not interrupt the business
of the office.
Nv hen the chief clerkship here
UsE taken out Of the civil service
list it was charged that Mr.. Leland
expected to remove j. P. Howe,
a democrat, who has had posi-
tion for twenty-five years. This
Mr.. Leland has refused to do"
The salaries of the democratic
and republican employees are
reised or lowered by Mr.. Leland,
it is claimed, in accordance with
their work. The merit system,
the employees say, prevails in the
office. The report of the proposed
investigation which Mr.. Hickey
says will begin April 10, is not
credited at the federal Office here.
The United States attorney and
marshals know nothing Of it.

this at a time when modern navies rep

MAKE NO DISTINCTION.

The bill introduced by Congress
man Little and fsvorably reported
by the house committee is another
proof that congress does not un-
derstand existing conditions in the
Indian Territory. Any law enact
ed that makes a distinction be-
tween the different classes of citi-
zens in the Indian Territory is
based upon a mistaken idea. Give
the Indians their lands and money
and make them citizens of the
United States. A tax like Little's
bill proposes would be unpopular
and unjust. The Indian citizen
don't want TO be exempt from just
taxation and they are In every
neighborhood in the territory able
and willing to pay their share of
school tax. The announcement
in the Washington dispatches that
there are 100000 non-citizens in
the Indian Territory is incorrect
and the coming census will show
it. In the Cherokee nation the
white non. citizens are very little if
any in the majority. Their child
rem attend the same schools and
laws making a discrimstion in tax
es should be discouraged. Give
he Indians their land and money
per capita and make no further
distinction and the problem will
have been solved.

TRAINING BoERS' HORSES
How They Are Taught to stand StIll
Where Their Riders
- Leave Them.


An Englishman now in Baltimore who
spent several years among the Beers
in South Africa said recently shat the
Boer force was stronger in numbers
than il seemed TO be, because every
man in the army was mounted and de-
tschments could move from one point
TO another In an incredibly short time.
He was asked whether the Beers kept
their horses in the trenches with tEem,
and this question led TO an explana-
ton.
Every BOer warrior has a horse"
said he, "and their horses are so trained
that they will stand where they are
left until their masters return. have
seen them training their horses in this
trick and their method is effective,
though heroic.
"A Boer will take a young horse, a
two-year-old or perhaps yearling, and
attach halter to him. From the halter
hangs a rope and at the end Of the rope
is suspended an iron ball, which hangs
above the animals knees.
The horse is then turned loose In a
large lot. He Immediately begins TO
prance around and the iron ball keeps
striking against his knees. The horse |
is driven wild and the ball keeps on
getting in its work. The beast may |
struggle against the annoyance and
pain for four or five days, but he finally
drops from exhaustion.
soften it takes three or four weeks to
nurse the horse, with his cut, bruised
and bleeding knees, back into condi-
ton. but when he is fit TO ride he is
lust the horse the Boer wants All the
Foer has TO do when he dismouuts is to
hrow the bride rein over the horses
read. The horse feels the rein hanging
rom his chin and he remembers the
previous experience with an iron ball. 0
