Every Woman Gets The Husband She
Deserves.

DcSGfkcS.
A keen sighted, quick itted woman
has come back from the antipodes to
study and write about American wo-
men. Her off-hand observations, re-
ported i'm the New York Tribune, are
delightful, as the criticisms of foreign
ers always are when they are both
fiattering and true. 1t is no new thing,
of course, to American women to be
told that they are the paragons of
their sex. But as a rule they do not
realize that they owe their pre-emin-
ence to the men. Mrs. Helen Jerome,
the fair Australian, points out this
fact:
"In the first place Americans are the
only women i'm the world who have
ideal husbands. Every woman gets
the husband she deserves. they say,
and has her counterpart in some man.
/ attribute the perfection of the Amer
lean husband to the fact that the
young of both sexes are educated to-
eether. American men treat their wo-
menfolks like queens. It's revelation
to unexpectedly when l look at the
mentor / don't see how such com.
mercial, hard-headed, matter of-fact
persons ever get to the point of pro-
posing"
On the street men are cash registers
and in the home they are mere what
nots. Mrs. Jerome perceives that
something is wrong with them:
It's strange about the American
man. On the street he is quick, i'm
patient, full of business; in his home
he is another person altogether. The
place to study him is the street He
seems to lose his individuality in the
house,
Returning to lovely woman, Mrs.
Jerome notes that
And the American puts on her
clothes like nobody else in the world.
English women are dowdy, French wo-
men dress horribly. But If an Ameri-
can is wearing only a shirt waist and
walking skirt she looks we'll dressed
and smart, the cut is so elegant and
the taste so good
On the other hand, "Epglishmen
dress very much better than Ameri-
cans" she says.

ALL JAPAN WANTS
Her DEMANDS MADE KNOWN TO
RUSSIAN ENJOYS.
Russian ENJOYS Find Terms Too Sc
we're to Be Acceptable-No Fixed
Sum Is Named-SeveraI Minor Pro-
visions in Proposed Peace Terms
May Be Made Basis of Negotiations.

Reimbursement for the expenses
sustained in the prosecution OF the
war and the cession of the island OF
Sakhalin constitutes the main features
of the peace conditions handed by
Baron komura to NJ. White. The word
Indemnity was carefully avoided, the
term applied being reimbursement
for the cost of the war. No sum is
fixed, the amount being distinctly
withheld for mutual adjustment be-
tween the two countries after the Jap
anese expenditures have been ascer-
tanned.
These are the two all important con-
ditions and those which the Russian
ENJOYS find absolutely unacceptable. 1t
can be stated, however, that these two
principal conditions did not come as
a surprise to the Russian plenipoten-
tiaries. The friendly fashion in which
Baron Komura explained the condl-
tons before handing them to M. Witte,
and his avoidance of the word "indem-
nifty" in the presentation of Japan's
bill for the cost of the war, without
fixing a sum, leaves the way open for
negotiations and constitutes the main
hope that a final agreement is pos
sible.
The other terms are substantially
what the world expected, and with one
or two exceptions, could probably be
entertained as a basis of negotiations.
They include the following:
The cession of the Russian leases to
the Liaotung peninsula, comprising
Port Arthur and Dalny. The evacua-
ton of the entire province of Man
churia, the retrocession to China OF
any privileges Russia may have in the
province and the recognition by Rus
STA of the principle of the ''open door,
The cession to Japan of the Chinese
Eastern railway below Hardin, the
main line through northern Manchu-
ria to Vladivostock to remain Russian
property; the recognition of the jap
anese protectorate over Korea. The
grant of fishing rights in Siberia north
ward from Vladivostock. The relin-
quishment to Japan of the Russian
warships interned in neutral ports.
Finally a limitation in the naval
strength of Russia in far eastern wa
tiers.

Sneaker Reeds Joke.

Henry H. Rogers and the late
Thomas B. Reed were close friends,
says the Worlds Work. Otter Mr..
Rogers took a party, including Mark
Twain and Thomas B. Reed, to the
West Indies on his steam yacht. On
the way back Mr.. Reed was compelled
to leave the boat at Old Point Com
fort to hurry by rail to New York
to argue a law case. The yacht
struck a storm after Mr.. Reed left
it. When he heard of it he wrote
Mr.. Rogers the following letter (Which
is now framed and hanging in one Of
his Offices, to which Mark Twain
added a characteristic postscript:
New York, April Z, 19O2.-Dear Mr..
Rogers: l still think we had a most love-
ly trip and l am still grateful. I am told,
however, that you had trouble immedi-
ately after left, which leads me to
counsel you not to take the yacht out ex-
cept when you have on board persons of
such weight with the community that
they can keep the boat level.
The Colonel, Hilton, Foote, DR.. Rice
and Mr.. Twain are all we'll enough in
their way-quite interesting people, but
they lack gravity. Very truly yours,
T. B. REED.
This Is we'll meant, but not well rea-
soned, for a yacht needs virtue as well
as ballast. MARK.

he received $4,000. Mr.. Hays house
in Washington was one Of the most
beautiful residences in the city, and
his library was filled with rare pic
lures and rarer books.
AS literary man John Hay would
have won fame sufficient for the most
ambitious. His life of Lincoln Is an
able work and his poetry was Of
high order. But as secretary Of state
under Mckinley and then under Roose-
welt, Mr.. Hay brought the diplomacy
of the United States into the first
rank. His ability was splendidly
shown during the Boxer troubles In
China. Hay alone kept China out Of
the Russo-Japanese war. Limiting the
zone Of conflict was one of his great
est diplomatic victories.

TROTTING OR GALLOPlNG?
What Do Fish Do, and Seals, and In.
sects and WOrms2

What Do Fish Do, and Seals, and In.
sects and Worms7
Here is a problem for people with
sharp eyes! As we all know, a horse
when walking or trotting advances
only one leg Of each pair at a time,
but when galloping lifts both fore feet
together and then both hind feet. Now
the question Is how other animals
manage this matter. The birds, of
course, flap both wings together, but
which birds run and which hop? We
human beings 'trot" when we walk,
and "gallop'' when we swim-that is,
If we are using the plain breast stroke.
The dog, however, "trots'' for both.
Now, do the amphibious animals-the
seals, offers and the rest-swim like
men or like other four-footed crea-
lures?
Then there are the fish. One would
rather expect that, as they move their
tails from side to side, they would
flap alternately with the fins, which
are their hands and feet. Who can tell
whether they do or not, and whether
all fish at all times follow one rule3
BY the way, how does a frog use its
Hands?
The great anatomist, e. Ray Lankes-
Ter, has lately pointed out that while
the Thousand legs" such as our COM
mon gally worm, advance two feet Of
pair together, the centipeds, which
are much like them, do exactly the op-
posite; and the swimming worms also
alternate the stroke of each pair Of
paddles. doubt If many people can
tell on which system the caterpillar
manages its dozen or so legs, or wheth-
or the adult insect walks, trots, PAGES,
or gallops on its six. How does the
spider use eight?
Altogether this is a large field for
observation, field, too where anv
one may discover new facts as yet un-
recorded, and thus add to the store Of
knowledge-St. Nicholas.

"POlLY PORTER"
"A Parrot Who Never Forgot What He
Once Had Learned.


Perhaps all parrots have equally re-
markable memories, but twenty five
years acquaintance with Polly or
ter enables me to say that he never
forgets what he has once learned. Like
other parrots, when he is alone he ex-
! ercises his memory, as if amusing
himself. Then it is that Polly Porter
| chatters in sentences; laughs aloud,
Historically; calls, in various tones,
commandingly or beseechingly; calls
the names of servants who, but for
Polly, would have been forgotten; calls
the cat; whistles for dogs who were
about him years ago.
Polly's cage is in the bow window
of the dining room-a good place for
keeping an eye on the family. When
the father rises from the breakfast
table Polly advises: Hurry! Hurry
up! Hurry
Later, with the first movement pre-
paratOry to the children's start for
school, he repeats sharply: -Aurry
up! Hurry up! Hurry
When guest comes in he says
briskly, why, how dye do?"
When he calls "Good-by" to per-
sons passing on the street it seems al
most certain that he reasons about
the coming and departing guest. He
quickly notices little children; COM
ing to one particular corner of the
bottom of his cage, he futters before
little one, attempting baby talk,
which is very funny, ending with
Beautiful child! Beautiful child"
and loud laugh.
When the house is quiet and his
mistress has visitor in the parlor
Polly Graves attention.
He repeats the chlldren's names, al
most as if he were calling the roll, in
sweet, low tones. Then he says Ma
ma! over and over, in a child's voice,
till it is common for a visitor to say,
do answer that child" or "Some one
is calling you" He comes very near
to telling tales, saying, "Ah, ali!
naughty boy" with great severity.
Polly is most impatient at break
fast time, when he shrieks till he re-
ceives attention: Polly wants cof-
fee! Polly wants breakfastv
He takes piece of bread cautious
ly; examines it; if it is not well vut-
tered he throws it down. He enjoys
a bunch Of grapes, holding it down
with one claw while with the other
and his beak he opens grape after
grape, eats the seed and casts the pulp
| away. He easily brushes a pear or an
apple to get at the seeds.
Last Christmas Polly was sent by
his owner, a New York boy, to friends
as a present. They were told of his
liveliness and astonishing powers Of
speech.
For some months Polly moped and
said nothing, but at last began calling
members Of the family by name. II
let out of his cage he fought the pug
and whipped the cat; when shut up
i in his cage for punishment he would
persistently work at the wires till ne
| would force them apart and walk out
! defantly. Recently he began upon his
old lessons, and now repeats the cries
of the newsboys in the street: "Ex-
trah! Extrah! Journal-Sun-Her
add" And he sings quite well CYAN
kee Doodle" which was taught him
last summer.
Good-by, Polly!-St. Nicholas.
