TIE WOMEN OLE IApAN-

The women Of Japan do not 20 out
and fight to-day as they have done on
rare occasio: in the past. We had
an Empires. once who led an army into
Korea and fought at lie had of her
soldiers, And even IN the last cen
fury, when the Shotgun made his last
etaLI against the Mikado, nearly n
thousand women and girls belonging to
families attached to the Shotgun fought
behind and upon the castle walls, and
many We're killed, says writer in
Harper's Weekly.
1t is different now. Only the men 20
out But there is much left for the
women TO do, and there is not a wo-
man in Japan who will shrk her du-
~. Not only must she take care of
the family while the men are away,
but she must work for the soldiers.
Our Empress herself is the patron Of
the japanese Red Cross Society,
whose President is always prince Of
the royal house. With her own hands
the Empress prepares bandages and
clothing for the men in the field; and
so great was her personal interest in
the men who fought in the war with
China that at the close Of the war
she gave an artificial limb 10 every
man who had lost one on the battle
field.
The women who act as nurses must
lay aside the" Gimonos and wear the
regular DR. rs Of hospital nurse.
Both before and since the war with
China the women Of Japan have at
tended the hospital training schools,
where instruction is given by Amerl-
can and European nurses, and there
are now no better nurses in the world
than those Of Japan.

Division of the Philippines has issued the
following rules to govern applications for
leaves of absence and transfers to the
United States:
Leaves of absence to visit the United
States, except under very extraordinary
circumstances, will not be considered, I'M
less the applicant has been three years In
the Philippine Islands, of which time the
two years Immediately preceding date Of
application shall have been continuous. APP
pIications of officers with service as above
for leaves, or for transfer to an undesig-
mated regiment Of the same arm IN the
United States, will be approved IL their
services can be spared.
Leaves of absence to officers, for the pur-
pose of travel In the orient. will be granted
when their services can be spared and con-
ditions warrant. The maximum length Of
such leaves of absence will be as follows:
ITO officers with approximately eighteen
months continuous service in the Philip
pine Islands, one month and fifteen days
ITO officers with approximately two years
continuous service in the Philippine Islands

by the board of medical officers in Manila,
officers of the army In poor health may be
ordered to San Francisco. CAL, for medical
treatment in the general hospital at the

Those sparrows Again.
itor OF The Evening Star:


have read with good deal of interest
the pathological communication of w. C.
Dodge in your issue of January /, on the
subject of 1.-THE Sparrows." wherein he
wonders that any intelligent person can
think the perpetuation and increase of the
pestiferous sparrow here or elsewhere Is a
praiseworthy act. "s Why does he pitch into
me? I did not make 'em. and I am not
responsible for their existence. If all their
deeds are evil, they must be devil Of a
lot IT, as he says, they prefer bread to
worms and bugs. 1t would tend to show
that they are lot of dainty feeders. Mr..
Dodge writes that they like cherries. SO
do I, but am not satisfied with picking
a hole in one; l. always eat the whole
cherry. But when he brings this fndict-
ment against tho sparrow, does he not
know that the robin, hom he SO kindly
defends, is the greatest cherry thief among
all birds? goo As
The fact that Mfr. Dodge built nests for
the wrens in his back yard shows him to be
a kind-hearted, hHmanes gentleman; but the
fact that he allowed the sparrows to come
there and lick the stufflng out of those
wrens would indicate that he doesn't stand
by "the under dog in the fight" The fact.
as stated by Mr.. Dodge, that the sparrows
have licked the robins gives me an adj
ditional respect for the sparrows. The robin
is a large bird; the sparrow, a small one;
and IL they can lick robin, and do lick
they have this Characteristic. it shows them
to be strictly American bird, that, with
out any Judgment whatever, will tackle
anything from one of their size up to a
Rocky mountain eagle. and stand their
chances on the result of the battle.
Little Cushing of Albemarle fame once
told me that size did not count in a fight
That he had noticed that the maddest man
of the two always licked the other man /"
Perhaps this Is why the sparrows always
lick the wrens. the robins and all other
song birds.
The robin Is three times the size of q
sparrow, and has longer bill and can
peck harder than q sparrow. We know
him to be thief. but Is he a coward also7

BUT ONE BID FILED.
Effort to Make Contract for Milk and
Cream

The Commissioners have received only
one bid for furnishing milk to the institu-
lions under District control upon their
second attempt to obtain milk and cream
under contract prices. Last October bids
were advertised for. but only one bidder re-
sponded and he was refused the contract.
Again the Commissioners advertised for
bids for furnishing District institutions
with milk and cream. this time allowing
the milk dealers to specify what quality OF
milk they would furnish instead of COM
Polling them to comply with standards set
by the authorities. Again, however. only
one bidder was found, the Bellevue dairy
farm. which offered to furnish milk for
Ereedmen's Hospital at 1917 cents a gallon.
This party refused to furnish cream at any
price.
The matter has been referred to the
health officer with In tructfons to examine
the bid to see IL 1t cor iorms with the speci-
ncations and as to whether or not con-
tract can be let when only one bidder sub
mits proposal.

Color Etching and Point Etching.
tn the Editor NJ The Ftyentnp Star.

In your notice of the color prints now on
exhibition at the National Library you have
failed to satisfy the reader as to what
color etching really Is. and wherein it 10
different from point etching. The difference
between color etching and other etching
Is that the first Is done with a brush on
a prepared ground, going through sue
cessive billings Of acid. and the other is
made with a point on a differently prepared
ground. also bitten to various depths. The
point etching may be printed in one or
more tints, but the masses which the
aQuatint Gas the engraving for the color
etching is called) gives are best adapted to
deal with color gradations. pen drawing
afterward tinted with water color. as dis
tinguished from an oil or water-color paint
Ing gives the difference between the tinted
point etching and the color etching as
printed from an aquatint ground The
lines which are characteristic of the point
etching disappear and the various tint
gradations or planes Of aQuatint take their
place.
The rosin ground. or aquatint etching.
was used In the eighteenth and early part
of the nineteenth centuries with admirable
results. but 1t remained an engraver's art
only. and only in the last ten years or SO
has 1t been taken up as a painters art. As
to engraving only. the aquatint can give
results equal to the mezzotint, but when
qualified by the point Gan emendation only
made necessary by the incompetence OF the
aquatintisD the work Is weakened.
There are only few examples of the
adequate use OF the aquatint process in
the collection at the library. a collection
which seems to have been made rather en-
hazard and without any principle of selec-
ton. We miss, too. the work Of some of
the ablest Frenchmen. However, the pur-
est examples OF color etching here are those
by Robbie and Houdard. and these do not
represent their best work. Neither of than
in the proofs hero given has carried his
art much beyond mere decoration. Tho
number and delicacy Of the gradations
which aquatint enables them to give IL
they choose to avail themselves of its re-
sources are lacking. Even decoration.
which is color scheme only, without OK
plicft definition of the color and forms of
nature. should give more subtle and more
agreeable harmonies.
The examples of Raffaelli's work are
simply point etchings. He has depended on
the point alone for definition and not on
those gradations obtained by the use Of
the brush in biting. Having secured a very
clever point etching he has disposed on his
plate a few fiat tints which have little sig
nifcance as color values.
In contrast with the somewhat chance
full and underlined aims of most of these
color etchings are the charming decorative
prints of Miss Hyde. Although pictOriaily
vague which Is permissible In purely dec
orative work. the artist has had an inten-
ton and has adequately defined It.
