WHY WOMEN do
NOT STAMMER.

Have you ever known woman that
stammered?
! The fact that the proportion of those
afflicted with stammering or suffering
IL 100 men to J. woman is one of the most
curious things in the science of path
,ology.
Even the specialists in nervous dis
eases seem utterly ct loss to account for
it.
So eminent an authority as Doctor Geo.
P. Shrady. the editor Of the Medical
Record, says that In all his experience he
has known Of only one woman that SIAM
mered.
Asked how he accounted for the inn
IMMUNITY Of the fair sex from this afiic.
ton. he replied:
It certainly is strange thing. SIAM
mering Is an epileptic affection OF the
organs OF speech, and the victim il usual
ly a person Of high strung, excitable
temperament At the last analysis the
cause lies In the mind-that Is. the stam-
merer stammers because he fears he Will
stammer and thus makes himself rfdicul-
GUS.
Nov. women are much more prone
than men TO nervous disorder. and this
makes their immunity from stammering
~ the more remarkable.
The St. Louis Republic. [volume] (St. Louis, Mo.) 1888-1919, 1903-12-06

For some mysterious reason their
nervousness affects their organs OF
speech only in the rarest of Instances"
A mere man In discussing woman's i'm
munfty from stamn1ering. was ungallant
enough to suggest that any Interference
with her ability to talk would be crue!
and unusual punishment within the mean
Ing Of the Constitution of the United
States. and, therefore. punishment
never ttofbe inflicted by a benefcent
Providence.
The theory also has been advanced that
women are less self-conscious than men.
for 1t Is asserted that self-consciousne&s
is the basis of the confusion Of the
stammerer
When the attention of a lifelong suf-
ferer from falting articulation was called,
to Doctor Shrady's. statement that the
stammerert stammers through fear OF
stammering lie replied:
THAT IL 1T exactly. One OF nv earlies,
recollectfons is Of being laughed at by two.
Of my aunts when got badly twisted In
trying to make a remark. Ever since then
the fear of stammering has haunted mo
to a greater or less degree. Now. Il has
been my experience that women seldom
suffer from self-consciousness to this ex-
teri.
II do not mean to say shat all women
are totally void OF self-cOnscious1ess |
have known girls who were victims of
the biushing habit. and. as my kindresi
afhlction enabled me to speak to then,
about il 1 discovered that they biush<d
fear Of doing so."

1t has not as much as Great Britain.
The country is comparatively poor and its
total imports amount to only 1900, 600 a

The population numbers 10000 but on
ly $1,000 OF these ore Of American descent,
and so far our colonizing schemes have
not been a success.
In Liberia all accounts are kept in Amer
lean dollars and cents, but the most COM
mon money is English. The Germans are
doing what they can to get the trade.
They are now sending two steamers
week from Hamburg, and the Dutch have
also established direct steamship connec-
tons.
We have some trade with the French
Congo. and quite good deal In the way
Of cotton goods with the Congo Free
State. Still further south American coal
oil IL used in the Portuguese territories,
and American tobacco Is to b fonnd al
most everywhere.
It Ia used for chewing. muning and
smoking in the Congo Valley. being sent
there in q Leaf shape. It Is smoked In
cigarettes and cigars throughout South Az
rica, l75.00o000 cigarettes being annually
imported by one firm alone.
There is big chance to increase our
trade on the African Mediterranean. Am
erican cotton goods can be sold in Moroc-
co, Algeria, Tunisia, and also in Tripoli
and Egypt.
At present the French have the bulk of
the trade Of Northwestern Africa.

They are now more than fifty million

The French are co}onizing the country,
building roads and railroads. opening UP

great food supply points OF the Republic.
Our exports to Algeria are now worth
about million dollars annually.
They are made up Of tools of all kinds,
including reapers and mowers. threshers
and portable enyines.
1t Is the same In Tunisia, which also be-
longs to France. ~
We annually sell $4,000 worth of agri-
cultural machinery to that country, and
also quantities Of tobacco, pork, corn and
petroleum.
The Tunisians use American saws and
carpenter tools and all sorts Of American
hardware.

That country Is controlled by England.

the United States Is now getting a fair
