VAIN WRIGHT RECOGNIZED.
Brilliant officer Made Superinter-
dent of Annapolis Academy.

Washington, d. c., Feb. 9.-Rear-Ad-
mlral +. Y. McNair, who has recently
been on sick leave, has, on account of the
continued ill-health asked to be detached
from the superintendency of the Naval
academy at Annapolis, and be given sick
leave for an extended period, and his re-
quest has been granted by the navy de-
partment
Secretary Long says the illness of Adj
miral McNair is much regretted by the
navy department, where his administra-
ton of the affairs of the Naval academy
has been highly commended.
Admiral McNair is the ranking rear
admir- al in the navy, being second only
to Admiral Dewey, and he has had a
long and honorable career extending over
a period of fortytwo years. of which
nearly twenty-one years were passed at
sea.
The President has designated Com
mander Richard Wainwright to succeed
Admiral McNair as superintendent Of
the Naval academy. This is great COM
pliment to an officer of his rank and is
due to his exceptional ability and the
signal services rendered by him during
the Spanish-Amercan war while in COM
mand Of the auxiliary cruiser Gloucester

WOrnen'S Clubs.

Women's clubs are significant among
the forward movements of the period
They embody much of woman's finest
thought and most gracious culture, they
are concerned with municipal improve
ments, with prison reforms, with the
identifying of home life, and with indi-
vidual progress toward whatever is best
and most educational in current affairs.
Society has no quarrel with the woman's
club, for the women who lead society a-e
represented there. 1t seems a little sim
gular that SO many influential clubs,
gathering into their bounds SO much
wealth, should be obliged to hire their
quarters, meeting where they can, SOM

Women in Persia.

But life is sad in Persia, especially the
woman's life The law of Islam allows
each man to have four wives, and as
many concubines and slave girls as his
hand can hold His wives, also, he may
divorce at will. Our word ''bosh' is the
Turkish word by which a Moslem di-
vorceS his wife. 1t doesn't count if he
says it only once or twice, but if said
the third time the woman must go, and
there is no recourse. Down along the
Caspian the men often marry their wives
in the spring, SO as to have the benefit
of their labor in the rice fields, and di-
vorce them in the fall SO as to escape sup
porting them during the winter. AT Mes
he'd, where the pilgrims come, is large
population of temporary wives who are
married to the pilgrims, far from home
and families, for as long time as the
pilgrims remain at the shrine--a day, or
a month. The Mohammedan priests
draw up the contracts for these tempo
rary alliances. Lord Curzon, who has
been there says Meshed, though the Holt
est city in Persia, is the wickedest in
Asia. There are no words for wife and
home in Persian. There are no homes
and few wives. 1t IS curious to hear a
handsome woman say: Il have told my
husband if he marries another wife /
shall poison him, and [ intend to do it. .
Or to ask woman about her home life,
and get the answer, Love my husband
Oh, yes, | love him. | love him as much
as a sieve holds water"
