Women a, Farm Owners.

The number OF women In the United
States who are studying agriculture
grows larger every year. Nearly all
agricultural departments of Western
universities and colleges admit wom-
Ell on equal terms with men, and there
are a number OF Eastern institutions
where they are welcomed. Secretary
Wilson SO far approves of women as
farmers that he frequently addresses
classes in the Columbia Normal School,
Washington, where there are forty
woman pupils, and elsewhere. 1t is
Secretary Wilson's hope that agricul-
ture. or the first principles of the sci
ence, will soon be part Of the cur
riculum In every rural school, and this
will mean that thousands of women
will have 70 take normal courses In ag-
ricultural science In order to fit them
selves for teachers
In Western schools and colleges of
agriculture are many girls who have in
herited, or expect to inherit, large
FARMS which they win manage them
selves. Others study special branches
of farming. such as dairying, small
fruit growing, market gardening, etc.
Women are well fitted for these
branches, and have made them profit
able in so many parts of the country
that all doubt of the wisdom of this
choice of profession seems to be dis
PEELED.
\ new kind of special farming has
recently engaged the attention of wom-
en- In the Eastern States. At the fruit
and flower shows given each autumn
In New York much interest has at
tached to experiments In growing cul-
tiyated varieties of chestnuts pecans,
walnuts, etc. Larger tracts Of lands In
Southern New Jersey have been plant
ed with choice nut trees, the italian
and Japanese giant chestnut chief
among them. One young woman went
into partnership with her brother In
planting twenty acres Of land owned
by them, and few years later re-
signed well-paying position In a
New York law Office to attend to the
growing business Of their nut farm.
She looks after every detail of the
work-the gathering and shipping Of
the crop, and the correspondence, and
will probably one day become the sole
owner Of the property.-New York

She bought hat-plain, prim and fiat
With feathers trained on willingly,
1t hid her eyes like disguise
And touched one ear tiptiltingly;
A homely thing of straw and string,
And yet she proudly Haunted 1t,
Twas all made clear by her "Oh, deart
Another woman wanted I'll"
She wears a dress-it cost no less
Than ninety-fve simoleons
It's faded tan, and looser than
That great coat of Napoleon's;
1t Fuckers SO, and flares as though
Some dismal spirit haunted it;
1t has no style-but she will smile,
Another woman wanted it,"
or bric-a-brac she has no lack
And still she's always buying more;
Weird wall designs and ugly steins
Strange foods-she's always trying
more.
Once to her fiat she brought a cat
A fake Maltese. We tainted her.
She sighed: Il know Pm beat, but, oh,
Another woman wanted herr
Her married life is naught but strife
But what's the use to moralize2
He has an awe inspiring jaw
And 'I-deligh quarrel" eyes,
Threats of divorce or shows of force
Have never even daunted him
And she'll confess: "Well, said Yes
Another woman wanted him.

The Blessing of Educated wifes.

The Blessing of Educated Wifes.
So long as women were absolutely
ignorant, men could pass as wise on
small capital but the growing mind
Of woman lifts the mind of man with
two great forces-heredtty and sex-at-
traction. Large-brained mothers make
better men, and the sweetheart who
is wise as well as kind can do wonders
with her lover.
Lord Chesterfeld's advice to his son
Is clear on this point. He strongly
urges him to marry woman who IL
wise as well as rich, handsome and
well-born; for" says he, thou wilt
find there is nothing more fulsome than
she-fool.'
The Greeks would not have educated
wives, owing to prejudice, tradition
and general error; but, as they grew ca
pable Of more pleasure than the prim-
Tive sex-relation allows, they sought
1t outside Of marriage
1t Is wonderful how long a piece OF
idiocy Will stick In the human brain.
Never was a more splendid develop
ment of some mental qualities than in
Athens, yet there this antique igno-
rance remained bedded in the fertile
intellectual soil like a bowlder in a gar
den
They would have slavery, and they
would have ignorant wives, and-they
fell
To-day, with our new knowledge of
the laws of nature, with our great adj
vance In freedom Of thought and ac-
ton, there is still less excuse for us.
We know now that a nation Is best
measured by the position of its women.

and how much more assured would
be their success. If in mental progress
others have discovered, and begin
where they leave off, why is 1t IN mat
tiers that are personally more import
ant that human nature always refuses
to be guided and invariably begins
anew?

STAR OF PEACE RISES
CHARS PERSONAL ACTS WILL
 PREVENT WAR.
Believed That it Would Be Senseless to Engage in Conflict Over Questions Left in
 Dispute.

St. Petersburg. Jan. 1S.-There is a strong indication that through the Czar's personal acts the peace party is com p1etely in the ascendent. NJ. Bezobrazoff, the head of the war party. has gone abroad Foreign Minister Lamsdorff, who, from the beginning, has favored peace, is now completely reha abilitated, and Vice roy AIexieff has, been made subservient to the Foreign Office in the Russo-Japan- ese negotiations. His extensive powers are curtailed, and he can make no move without the Czar's personal approval.
 The Associated Press correspondent on high authority is able to give the follow ing as the present status of the negotla- tions between Russia and Japan:
 Russia recognizes Japan predominance in Korea and Japan recognizes Russia s special position in Manchuria. There are two main questions still at issue-the Russian demand for a neutral zone on the Korean side of the Yalu river, which Ja- pan met with a proposal for the similar neutral strip on the Manchurian side, Japan alos asks for certain guarantees covering Manchuria, which Russia thus far has declined to grant. It Is pointed out, however. that the assurances given a few days ago by Russia regarding open ports in Manchuria and respect for treaty rights Is a concession on this point.
 That the two countries are not so far apart may be fairly inferred from the following statement made by MT. Kurino, the Japanese Minister, to the Associated Press correspondent:
 War now would only be disastrous to both countries. Owing to the geographi- cal situation an armed conflict would re- suit in great drain of the men and treasure of both Japan and Russia. with out being decisive. Besides, l believe 1t would not be worth while to go to war on the questions still in dispute"

cratic Sc ators could offer amendments at any stage Of the proceedings in the Senate. and assured them that all such meE dments would have fair and deEb- crate consideration.
 No action was taken on Senator Dan Iel's res oltion or Senator Morgan's pro- test, but before the Senate adjourned Senator Cullom gave notice that he would ask the Senate to take up the treaty to- morrow or Wednesday, and until disposed of to consider it from day to day to the exclusion of other business.
 The Committee on Foreign Relations directed Senator Cullom to report the treaty with three amendments.
 The Republican members voted for the treaty. but only two Democrats, Morgan and Money were present. The former voted against the treaty and Mr. Money stated that he had not yet had time to consider 1t as 1t was the first meeting of the committee he had been able to att tend.
 The three amendments relate to santa. tion. limitation of citizens and control of harbors. The United States, by the relating to sanitation. is granted more direct power in all sanitary regulations. The amendment concerning the limitation of the cities moro specltl- cally defines the limits of Panama and Colon in relation to the canal zone. The harbor amendment gives the United States control of the harbors for the puf pose of improvement.

Rartlett Lolts RristoW.

Representative Bartlett somewhat jolted the rigidly righteous members of the House who have been taking much pride in the investigation of the Postofhce De- partment as conducted by itself when he read today a letter that threw a somber shadow upon the fair name of Fourth As- sistant Postmaster General Bristow. The House being in committee of the whole. and MT. Bartlett having on former sim liar occasion referred to Bristow's criti- cism of NJ. W. Louis, he read letter from Louis asking that the Representa- tive correct false impression of him given in the running debate Wednesday last.
 The letter stated that while Bristow showed much zeal to uphold the integrity of the civil service law, his own practices had been irregular in that he had in- jected into the classified service without examination more than thirty persons. some of them postoff1ce inspectors em- ployed in this very investigation, " among them his own father appointed first as a $500 laborer from his district in Kentucky. and now employed at Denver, Col, as $l,6O postoffice inspector: that also his son. during his school vacation drew a salary at the rate of $72O a year in the Washington postoflce.
 Mir. Bartlett stated that he had in- formed Mir. Bristow of the contents of the letter before using it. and the latter had said that the appointments were reg P:ar. Here were the two statements, said Mir. Bartlett. and the truth of either could he easily determined by investigation.

TREATY IS REPORTED IS SUBJECT OF A HEATED DIS-
 CUSHION.
  Senator Morgan Contends That He Has Not Had Time in Which to Urge Amendments
 to Document.

Washington. Jan S.-While the Pan- anna Canal question has been petore tne Senate on general principles during the greater part of the present sessloh' thS Panama Canal treaty was not reported ,,ntiI today, It had no sooner been re- nortea fayorablv to the Senate in execu- five session than it became the subject or heated discussion, .---.
 Senator Cullom made a report in favor of the treaty. whereupon senator. MOT gan, a member of the committee. at once entered formal protest against the ac- ceptance of the report on the ground that when the committee decided to report the treaty an amendment was still under consideration, and that he had not had time to present an amendment looking to the striking out of Article = of the treaty, in which Panama renounces her right to participation in the earnings of the canal, when built
 Senator Morgan supported his written statement with a brief speech and was immediately followed by Senator Daniel with a resolution declaring against the policy of reporting any treaty or bill until each member shall have offered any amendments he may desire to present. Senator Daniel declared that the coursa of the committee had been bot precipitate and unfair, and urged that the treaty should be recommended for further con- sideration.
 Replies were made by Senators Cullom, Spooner and Allison.
 Speaking as chairman of the Commit tee on Foreign Relations, MT. Cullou, said that the treaty had been in commit tee for almost a month before it was taken up He conceded that during the gI eater portion of this time Congress was not in session. but said he had called the committee to meet on the first regular meeting the day after the Senate recon- vened, and that at his instance 1t had been holding daily sessions most of the time. He declared that very careful con- sideratioE had been given to all the de- tails connected with the treaty. and said that instead of precipltancy being mani- fested. the committee had given the ut most consideration to all suggestions Tor amendments. and had adopted some of them. He felt that the majority had list ened with great patience to all the repre- sentations made. and, therefore, had felt justified in putting the motion made by Senator Lodge in committee for the re- porting of the treaty without delay.
 Senator Spooner .'poke along the same lii es and went into details to show the cons.dera.irn given by the committee to the suggestions from Democratic Sena- tors Mir. Allison suggested that Demo-

Money for the Treaty.

Senator Money has returned to Wash ington from his home in Mississippi where he has been with Mrs. Money who has l,een i'll for some weeks. Senator Money says in response to inquiry as to how he stood in the Panama canal question that he thought he should vote for the treaty He really had not had an oppor- tunity fully to inform himself upon the merits of question, having had to depend upon casual and fugitive newspaper read ing
 My mind' he said. 'is not irrevocably committed to the proposition one way or the other. I may see fit to change my present inclination
 The Senator admits that the action of Mississippi Legislature Is tantamount to instruction, but says nothing to indicate that his own action will be solely respon- slve to that influence. He will depend. he says upon what he may learn of facts in the case. His inclination in view of the recognition of the republic of Panama. however, reprehensible the incidents att tending the secession, considering the great benefit to be derived by the South from the construction of the canal, is that the treaty should be ratified.
 Senator McLaurin has not yet returned from Mississippi and 1t Is not known how he will vote on the treaty. When he left Washington he was understood to be op- posed to it. Senator Money has been for some time favorable to the Panama route.
