WOMAN IN GERMANY.
Female Emancipation Has Made Little
Progress.

From the London Graphic.
Although German poets vie with one an
other in extolling the eternal feminine
IDEAL" there is no country where the eman-
cipation of woman. which forms the great
feature of modern life among ourselves and
in the United tSates, has made so little
progress. An amusing instance of this oc-
CURED some days ago in the Prussian
chamber of deputies. on an Interpolation as
to the right of women to take part in politi-
cal meetings. The minister of the interior,
with his hair on end. his face pale with
emotion and voice quiyering with excite
ment. replied that although it would not
legally be permissible to bar the door
against woman DESTROYS of attending a
political gathering. every, possible means
should be taken to prevent her from speak
ing. In other words. he declared, amid
cheers from the greater part of the house,
that women, like children, should be seen
but not heard. Womenphobia has always
been a German characteristic. The admis-
sion of women into the civil service met
with the most violent opposition in Ger
many long after female clerks and telegra-
phISts had been successfully employed in
England and in France. The right of Wo-
men to practice medicine was called in
question only three years ago, when a COM
mittee of experts declared that the idea
was too prepoSterouS to be seriously dis
cusSed- In 1899 a proposal to establish
gymnasia for girls was 1ikened by the Prus-
sian minister of worship 'tto a little spark
which should be put out at once. lest it
should break into flame" But there are
many signs that even the German woman
is growing impatient of her part as upper
housemaid. and in the consciousness of be-
ing a thinking entity. with a separate life
of her own. demands to take her share in
the national public life.

THE CAT AND HER PET.
How Old Tabby Refused to Eat a
Young Rat and Raised It.

rom tne tulhDufSn scotsman.
Tabby. our old cat lived in the barn with
her family of kittens. She made her home
in the stall of Dandy. one of the farm
horses, and the kittens were always under
his feet. But Dandy was fond of oats, and
in some miraculous way avoided harming
his guests
One day I noticed young rat, about the
size of a full grown mouse, running about
the stall with the kittens. Surprised that
Tabby did rot notice it. / caught her and
held her nose down to it. She licked it's
face and then walked away. One morning
perhaps a week later. 1 found Tabby and
her family established on a flower bed near
the kitchen door. I gathered the kittens
into my apron. and as | lifted the last one
L uncovered the rat. Ii was taking it's
breakfast just naturally and contentedly
as the kittens, but when Tabby got up the
little thing scurried away into the sweet
peas.
1 carried the kittens TO the granary and
put them in a corner on a pile of empty
sacks When L turned round Tabby was
just coming in the door with her foster
baby in her mouth. She put it down in the
hid under the sacks. 1 placed saucerful
of milk on the floor and stood back out of
sight to watch developments.
Tabby. after tapping it a moment. called
her family. The kittens responded slowly
and then the tiny rat darted from it's hid
ing place under the sacks and scrambled
over the edge of the saucer, head foremost
into the milk. When it climbed out Tabby
attended to its toilet, licking the milk all
off. After she had finished the rat didn't
look much larger than the first joint of a
mans thumb but 1t sat up on it's launches
and washed its face, head and ears in the
most comcal way.
We were all interested in this most I'M

queer foster-nuTsling was missing and we
never knew what became of it,

This Is the latest fashionable disease. The
atmosphere is charged with the dust from
West India eruptions; the sulphurous parti-
cles get into the lungs and affect the blood.
The symptoms are extreme lassitude, con-
slant drowsiness and indisposition. The
only remedy thus far indicated by leading
physicians is change Of air. an immediate
departure for Europe, the country or the
seaside. I have known the same disease to
prevail in other years. when there were no
volcanic eruptions but then 1t was called

away Spouse.
A Mrs. Donegan, accompanied by
three children, arrived in Kalispell
this week from Butte, and immedi-
ately started on still hunt for her
husband, who she claimed had de-
serted her. She said that he was en-
ployed at one of the lumber camps in
the vicinity of Kalispell and invoked
the aid of the sheriff in her attempt
to find him. Deputy Sheriff Therri-
ault drove out to the camp and found
a man by the name of Donegan, but
when he came to town and con-
fronted the woman, she claimed he
was not the man.
The Kalispell Donegan knew her
husband and informed her that he
was at Gold Butte and had been for
some time. Investigation into the
matter disclosed the fact that the
county authorities at Butte had paid
her fare to Kalispell, and that while
there she had been a county charge.
1t was evidently scheme to get rid
of her and saddle her upon Flathead
county. She will probably be sent to
~old Butte.
