DEREHARDT ON
 AMERICAN WOMEN.
 Mime. Sarah Bernhard. says Paris speciai, has given her opinions on the "Amsrican women to an interviewer whom she saw between the acts of L'Aigion" at the Theatre de la Mon- nafe at Brussels. The great trage- dfonne is entirely favorable to the trans.Atiantic method of female educa- ttsn. ~
 HI find the American woman far su- perior to our woman" she said. "The American woman leads a very different Iito. q life of which we have no idea tn France.
 ssrhe sexes have absolutely distinct ann separate spheres of life. The wo- man is an intellectual being in the widest sense of the word. Her nus factory or office from o'clock in the xnorning to 6 o'clock In the evening, while the wife is at her club or en- waged in sports, literature, science mu- eic or art.

 Yb sum up. Mime. Bernhardt Is con- yinced of the tremendous superiority of the American woman over her Erench sister.

 A telegram was received from Mrs. Edwin c. Weed of Florida. President of the National organization of the United Daughters of the Confederacy, stating that she would unveil the bust of General Robert E. Lee. in the Tenn pie of Fame. today, May S1st.
 In response to the telegram the Dixie and Sophie Bibb Chapters U. D. c. of Montgomery. sent in the name of the Alabama Division U. D. c. a large box Of flowers. It contained a laurel wreath four yards long tied to a bunch of twelve magnificent magno- lias. and some pomgranites with broad white satin ribbon on which was writ ten in red letters, Alabama Division U. D. C." This was a beautiful trib- ute of respect and love for the great Confederate hero whose bust has been placed in the Temple of Fame" It was a beautiful thought of these pat riotic women to send strictly and only the glorious fruit and blossoms of the South to do honor to the great man of the South.
 No roses could have spoken SO heart felt. so true and story of love as did these splendid magnolia blossoms.

SUCCESS IN woMEN's NAMES.

According to Frencn Writer, only those women whose names begin with the letter s can ever reasonably hope 10 attain much success in literature. He insists that there are abundant proofs of the truth of this.
 S, he says, is the initial of the ser pent who tempted Eve, and also of those women who have an unbridled inagination and who are perpetually trying to solve hidden mysteries. Six centuries before Christ Sappho was born. and she is the first of long line of illustricus literary women whose names begin with an S.
 In the list are Marguerite, wife of the Chevalier Berenger de Surville, well known French poetess; Sibelia Schwartz. German poetess of the seventeneth gentry; Mime de Sevigne. whose famous letters were published by another woman in the list; Mime. de Eimiane, Mdlle. de Scudery. the TO- rnance writer; Mime. de Sable. who edited Rochefoucauld's maxims; Mime. Scarron, one of the most notable wo- men of her day: Mime. de Stael. whose charming memoirs are still read; Mime. de Salm-Dyck otherwise known as the sBoileau of women:" Mime. de Souza, n writer of novels, and Sophie Gay, also a story writer.
 Besides these there are many others. s;Let us not forget George Sand" he says, "Worthy of mention. too. is Ida Saint-E -Elme, who caused so much scandal by her writings during the reign of Louis Philippe. Moreover, all those celebrated women, who have ad- yocated peace on earth, have the letter $. as an initial. It was Harriet Beecher Stowe who wrote Uncle Toms Cabin and at the last peace congress in Paris there were no more promi- nent persons than Mime. de Suttner. the Austrian romance writer. and our own Mime. Severine. Among other wo- men of this type are Miss Sedgwick, Mary Sumner. Olive Sehreiner and An ma SegalaS"

ORIGIN OF GRASS WIDOW"

Society in India, 1t appears from the Bengal papers, is being disturbed just now over the origin of the term grass widow" and a considerable amount of research has been directed to the sub 5ect.. So far the inquiries made have succeeded in tracing the word back to sthe year 1S44, when it was used in The Calcutta Review. Tn the opinion of qualified philologists the term is a corruption of the much older one grace widow" This Is derived from "vidua de gratia," which may be interpreted literally as widow by favor.
