ENGLISH AND GERMAN GIRLS

Differences as Revealed in Answers
to Two Test Questions.
National Review
In the spring of the present year the
following questions were sent to a num-
Der of children between the ages of ten
and fourteen in primary an secondary
German schools:
FirSt-Which would you rather be,
man or wOman-and why?
Second-W'hfch man or woman of whom
you have ever heard or read would YOU
most wish to be-and why?
The same questions were set to a num-
Der Of English children last December.
were allowed to have the first qt&stlon
put to them, and more than half of the
remainder declined to discuss it at all,
and many Of them remarked: ST wish to
very beautifully" or, 81 wish to be a
woman because it is wrong to wish to
be man." or, II wish to be woman
because 1t is a noble duty to love hus-
band and children" 1t is curious that
these German boys and girls rarely dis
cuss their duty TO parents, while their
duties to their future families seem to
weigh heavily upon them.
II wish to be woman because I de-.
sire TO lead useful home life 1 do
not wish to face the dangers Of the
world, writes a prudent person of eleven.
~ woman's life and a woman's work
Please me best, because it is a woman's
duty to stay at home and be good wife
and mother" 1t is truly startling TO lind
these mature and virtuous opinions in
such young and innocent minds.
In the English girls papers one found
that 50 per cent said they wished to be
omen in order to escape the RESPONSE
bjlity Of mems lives. They remarked
that men had hard and dirty work TO DO
and that women might stay at home and
take their eaSs, go out to tea and wear
nice dresses. Only in one instance does
a German girl express any desire to es-
cape responsibility. She says: cts bet
ter to be woman, because women need
not be soldiers. "
There is not a single instance in the
eighty-six papers of German girl wish
ing to be man. The English girls an
swers form a striking contrast They
show independence of Thoughts, freedom
of expression and a variety Of aspirl-
tons. Thirtyfour per cent of the Eng
lish girls rebelled against a womans
life. They envied mems strength, free
dom and the glorious possibilities In hair
lives for adventures. They discussed the
economic disadvantages of womans
lot, and they expressed clearly their con-
viction that a mans life had fewer wor-
rieS and more glories than a woman's
Thirty per cent of the English girls were
faithful to their sex; they recognized that
woman had definite work in life, and that
possibilities for doing good in the world
and exertipg a refining influence lay be-

TALK OF THE NEW RULES.
Enactments of the Magnates Are tn,
Cause OF Much Discussion.

Enactments of the Magnates Are the
Cause OF Much Discussion.
NEW YORK, March 3.-There has been
considerable discussion since the Ma
tlonal league meeting among players and
baseball fans of the changes in the play
ing rules enacted by the magnates Just
what the new rules do mean is a subject
OF interest to players and managers
alike, hence the discussions Ned Han
Ion expressed himself as follows:
u understand that rule hurrying the
pitchers; it's serious mistake and I do
rot think the players will stand for it,
You can't call man from the bench cold
and have him go in and Pitch the first
bal without any warming up. A valu-
&ble player might throw his arm out then
and there and be ruined for life.
Regarding the calling of foul balls
strikes l can only say that they have
masnifled this part of 1t beyond all rea-
son. Fouls are largely accidental and [
do not believe player stands up there
and deliberately fouls them off anywhere
near as much as the rulemakers think.
Il tell you there are few players who
can take two strikes and be easy with
the third. You get two strikes on tbs
modern batter and he's guessing pretty
hard. The day is past when the batters
took two strikes and trusted to their
eyes for getting the third
The new rule on fouling OF balls was
put in to cut off such men as McGraw,
Jennings, Hamilton, Dahlen, Thomas and
other past masters of the art Of annoy
ing and firing out pitchers.
Ban Johnson has made the hurrying
along of games a hobby for the past
three seasons in the American league.
I think that they have not improved
their rules any,, is his argument, ''by
calling foul balls strikes, because it was
easy enough to stop this practice-at
least we have found it the case in our
league. For instance Elberfeld of De-
troit, used to foul continually, but the
umpire began calling them strikes and he

FIGHT ON RIVER BILL
SENATE UNABLE TO AGREE ON
CERTAIN CONCESSIONS.


WASHINGTON, March AT 2:2O a.
m. the senate went into executive ses-
sion.
Before the executive session Mr.. Mel
son, in charge of the river and harbor
bill, gave notice that he would not give
way to any measure that would give
rise to debate. This statement was made
when Mr.. Allison presented the sundry
civil appropriation bill. AS long as the
river and harbor conference report is be-
fore the senate it blocks the considera-
ton of the sundry civil bill, and no de-
bate can be had on items from which
the senate will have to recede before
there can be an agreement.
1t is not known how long the fight is
to be kept up on the river and harbor
bill.
At 2:4O the doors were reopened and
Mr.. Carter continued his speech against
the river and harbor bill
At 2:55 Mr.. Carter closed his speech.
On motion Of Mr.. Gallagher the motion
Of Mr.. Morgan, that the senate recede,
was laid on the table and the bill was
then sent back to the conference.
1t was the general opinion of senators
that this means the defeat of the river
and harbor bill, as other senators in
tend to debate 1t at length.
At 2:45 a. m. the house again met but
without transacting any business took
a recess until 4 O clock es,

In comparing the two sets of papers one
cannot fail to conclude that the German

especially as wife and mother than the
English girl, and that the latter often

The English girl is not much occupied in

revelations are expected Thursday when
the grand jury Of Anderson county re-
ports to a special sitting of the court
upon the investigation ordered Feb. Is
by Judge w. C. Benet.@ sThe following
alleged facts will be brought to the at
tention of the court:
That in the convict pens in Anderson
county were confined negroes guiltless
of any greater crime than refusing to
comply with labor contracts which de-
manded absolute slavery These con-
tracts should not have been held lawful,
and the negroes. though never taken be-
fore magistrate were by physical force
kept in bondage and made to work as
felons. The contracts signed by these
ignorant negroes were negotiable paper.
A land owner, having@a negro bound to
him for a years work. could sell his con-
tract to a third party.
The attention of the court was directed
to this matter by evidence in the trial Of
CHAT Newell, planter, whose farms are
worked by convicts. Newell was charged
with murder, having shot Will Hull, n
negro, trying to escape from his stock
ade, when it was shown that the negro
had never been convicted of a crime be-
