nROGRESSIVE American women
who have visited the Paris fair
have looked first for the Woman's
building, and have found in it-a disap-
pointment.
After all the controversy about the
place women were to occupy at the
Paris exposition it is hard to say just
what our American women expected to
find in the Woman's building, but from
their comments it is implied that they
did not expect to find it devoted almost
exclusively to that side of the fair sex
which revels in toilet preparations,
hair dyes and the latest novelties in
Partisan gowns.
True, on the main floor of the build
ing there is display of woman's work
along the artistic and useful lines, such
as embroideries. etc. But at no place
IN the building is there anything that
would illustrate the new and advanced
place women have taken in the world S
affairs. The exposition authorities have
preferred to consider the sex as simply
the "adored charmer," the social but
terfly or the thrifty housewife.
Ut course, woman's work along the
advanced lines is to be found in all de-
partments of the exposition. The art
buildings contain many paintings and
bits Of sculpture by women artists;
throughout all the departments of lib
eral arts women have exhibits, and also
in the agricultural departments, but
they are not given an undue prominence
because of the sex of the exhibitor, but
must compete for prizes with the ex-
hibits made by men in the various de-
partments.
There are many who say this is as it
should be; that the day is far past
when women need any SPECIAL consid-
Grafton because of their sex along com
mercial and scientific lines; that it is
fairer to the women themselves that

the captain, "the confederates threw
fuse shells at us with good effect.
One day as our regiment was moving

struck tree in front of us, rebound

than two feet in front of Capt. Ed

THE SUBSTITUTE.

i'Nhen. substitutes arrived at the
'front.'" said the colonel, in the Chicago
Inter Ocean. "they were numerically
hazed and badgered by the veterans,
who had entered the service without
any inducenent in the way of boun-
ties, and who scorned the idea of a
man fighting for money. It was as
sumed that all substitutes we're of one
pattern, were men who had declined
to enlist as q matter of patriotism,
and who entered the service only
when large bounties were offered.
Many of the veterans believed that
the word substitute was synonymous
with the bounty-jumper and coward,
and acted accordingly. But in truth
ma ny old soldiers, who had seen years
of service, and. many high-spirited
young fellows who could not leave
aged parents without support, became
substitutes, and were none the worse
for the bounty paid.
| Our regiment, after a service Of
80 months, was mustered out at New
port barracks in the summer of 1864.
! The men declined to reenlist as an
organization because they were tired
of fighting. and wanted rest. and
they scattered to their homes in diff
ferent states. Before snow fell more
| than half of them were again in the
service, many of them returning to
old regiments as recruits or substi-
tutes. In all such cases the recruit,
so strong was the feeling against sub
stitutes, concealed his reenlistment
from his old comrades, and in not few
cases the veteran played the part of
a raw recruit so as to dissociate the
new service from the old.
"One of our old company returned
home to find his family in distress
and the farm inortgaged. After trying
to: stem the tide of misfortune, and
after trying vainly to borrow money,
he sold himself, as he pat it, for $4,000,
and went to one of the new regi-
ments at the front as a substitute.
He pretended to know nothing of
drill or soldier duty, aud played the
part of stupid but well-meaning
clodhopper. He bore all the jokes
and prosecutions with cheerful pa
tience and made friends with other
substitutes. He never forgot him.
self except when it came to battle,
and then the change was not noticed
at first. But one day, when the reg
iment was hard pressed, the soldier
spirits asserted itself and carried the
old veteran beyond the self-imposed
limitations of a substitute
"When the break came he turned as
he would have turned in his old reg
iment and ran to the colors. There
he met the sergeant, who had drilled
him, and the captain who had treat
ed him contemptuously,. and others
who had laughed at his stupidity.
Before this the men of his company
had not believed that he could fire a
gun effectively. Now they saw that
| he was familiar with all the tactical
work of resourceful man making
desperate resistance. They saw that
he knew what to do and how to do
| it, and at the end of an hour, in which
the fragments of the regiment had
the hardest fight in their experience

her handiwork should he considered in
the same c.ass as that of men, and that
blue ribbon so won is far preferable
to one won in a competition between
women only. These may be right. but
ut the same time the progressive Amer
lean woman has found in the Woman's
building at the Paris exposition-a dis
appointment.
The exposition authorities call the
building constructed for the use of
women palace. After one has looked
at the building the word seems mis-
homer. The "Woman's palace" would
be better suited, perhaps, for use as a
well-appointed country house than for
anything else one can imagine. Had
the authorities called it a mansion no
one would have disputed the appropri-
ateness of the name.
1t is situated on the Champ 3e Mars.
between the Effel tower and the lena
bridge across the River Seine, and is in
an ideal location. The style of archi-
lecture is modern French, the whole
consisting of a main building and two
attached pavilions which are used as
restaurants, tearooms. lavatories,
sloakrooms and hairdressing saloons
On the ground floor of the palace
proper there is the display of embroid-
cries, ETC., referred to above, while in
the basement is display of all that
relates to hygiene, toilette and fem
1nine elegance, and this is what our
American women are objecting to,
while to the French women it is one
of the attractive features of the place.
Such is the difference in the women of
the two republics.
On the second floor of the main build
ing there is theater, a concert hall,
lecture room, reading-room. IL
brary and drawing-rOom, all of which
are reached by electric elevators. The
theater on this floor offers to the pro-
gressive woman grain of solace. for in
it are presented pays written by wom-
en-, but then. again, they are for wom-
en-. The lecture hall she patronizes but
little, for the lectures are upon sub
jects relating to the toilette, to home
duties, to social etiquette, etc. There

cation and kindred topics. In the read
ing-room one finds fashion and society
journals, to the exclusion of all of the
advanced reading.
There is one feature. however. which
is attracting all classes of women from
abroad, whether of advanced ideas or
just 'society butterflies" That is the
course of lectures on the French lam
guage. Women of other nations who
have found their supply of French de-
ticient have taken to visiting these ,ec-
lures during the moments when they
are too tired for sightseeing, and so i'm
proving their French.
But above all else the building is a
beautiful retreat for tired women. Its
vine-covered walls are inviting, and in
side everyone finds welcome, no mat
ter what her station or nationality may
be-. Unlike the different national pa-
vilions, it is home for every woman
where she may rest from the fatigue of
sightseeing, and gossip in whatever,
tongue she speaks with the assurance
that there will be some one to under
stand. The authorities who designed
the building and designated its uses

WHITE OTTER SKIN DANCE.
Peculiar Ceremony Obaeryed Amona
the Sac and Fox Indians
In Oklahoma,

About 400 Sac and Fox Indians were
assembled on their reservation in
Oklahoma, few days ago, dancing
the religious otter skin dance. This is
ceremony observed by these Indians
every ten years. 1t is queer doc
trine. The adherents trust all in the
white otter. AS they cannot get the
animal alive in this country, they take
his skin. This is placed on a high pole
in the center of the excited Indians.
and they go around it for hours at a
time, never removing their gaze.
Then when they are so tired they can
go no farther the medicine man tosses
them the otter skin. and they bury
their face in it. While thus situated
they claim to see all their dead rela-
tions and get glimpse of the happy
hunting ground. The dance lasts .
week. d..
During the first two days of the
dance only 46 Indians received the
otter skin. They are not given it un-
til the great spirit so directs the medi-
cine man, and hence there is weeping
and wailing at the dance. Those who
have prayed for the otter skin and not
yet received it think they are lost.
They take this as an evil omen. and
think the great spirit is angry with
them.
There are two white girls taking
part in the otter dance this year, hav-
ing recently married Indians and be-
come converted to the faith.
A great dog feast took place at
night, and 142 dogs were killed and
cooked. The Indians enjoyed their
meat and are dancing hard, hoping to
win back the will of their Great Spirit.

oned that every paroled prisoner who
escaped was SO much gain to the union

"A squad of confederates would es-
cape from the parole camp, would
prowl around the country between the
camp and Vicksburg, would come across

his subordinate officers knew anything
of this. and they were at loss to ex-
plain how it was that Pemberton's COM
mand dwindled down finally to about
1000 men. Some people in the north,
among them Gen. Halleclz. believed that
the men had escaped by Pemberton's
connivance and had returned to the
confederate service, in violation of
of them went into the northwest ter

of Pemberton's men who refused to
be paroled and were sent north as

to have had information as to the part
played by the union troops as emf

between the men who surrendered at
Vicksburg, and the men who captured
them. and there were many long talks
as to the future. Some of our boys
were familiar with conditions in the
northwest. and the confederates,
knowing that they could not return
home without being subject to arrest
