Burma, as IN many other things"
writes " c. Scott 10 his book "The
silken East" "ls in advance OF more
reputedly civilized countries In the
status It accords to its women. The
infant marriage and shutting up In
walled houses, the polygamy, the hs-
rems. the social punishment Of widows,
the denial OF spiritual rights which pre-
vail In India are unknown In Burma.
Here women marry when they are OF
age and after they have seen some
what OF the world They marry. for
the most nart, whOmsoever they will
aud frOm love. They are not hauded
over as chattels to a man whom they
know not. but are courted and won.
The married wOmen's property act has
In effect been. established for centuries
In Burma. In this country. where the
women eafn 20 much, che wOmah's
earnings are her own. Divorce is cas-
ily obtained. but seldom asked for. The
lightness Of the marriage laws. the
readiness OF the Burmese women to en-
ter Into an easy alliance, shock the vir-
tue OF the strenuous foreigner. but
within her ideals she is a perfectly
proper, modest and well hammered wO-
man.
"She has faillngs. Who has nOt2 Her
practice Of chewing betel Is inelegant
and destructive to her teeth; her voice
Is apt under the pressure Of adversely
to be shrlll; her keen business faculties
detract 4 trlhe from the romance I'm
which, as in a halo, all women are en-
velOped; In old age she Is very ugly,
and even in youth her nose is stumpy,
her lips a little thick, her cheek bones
high and heayy-but these are Cau-
caslan objections.
I'm the eyes OF the young men OF the
land the Burmese girl is a peerless
creature. and her influence over their
hearts and their passions Is immense.
What is more. few men In Burma ever
undertake anything OF magnitude with

COMING PEACE CONFERENCE.

In the person of NJ. Witte, Russia
is sepdiug her biggest statesman to
the peace conference at Washington.
As president of the committee Of min
listers, Witte gave the ear the best
advice he has had ia recent years.
That advice was against a program
OF territorial expansion, and in favor
of the internal development Of the
Russian empire, That it was not fol
lowed is no doubt The greatest regret
Of the czar to-day. M, Muravieff, pres
ent Russian ambassador at Rome,
was first chosen as the head Of the
peace delegation but a popular pro
test went up against this selection be
cause Muravieff was not thought to
be friendly to peace, and last Thurs
day it was announced that on account
of the precarious condition of Mura-
viieffff S health, it had been decided to
entrnst the commission to Witte, The
health Of Muravieff is not supposed
to be greatly shattered and all Rus
STA understands that the change to
Witte means an II d policy and a
Willingness of Russia to get peace if
it is to be had.
But it is not to be understood that
Witte will accept peace at any price,
japan can easily seek to drive so hard
a bargain as TO lose TO herself the
moral support of all Europe, and OF
the United States, At the same time
Witte undoubtedly has instructions
to close g treaty Il Il Is possible. Il is
even declared that the great Russian
diplomat and statesman will after the
peace conference be entrusted with
the work Of recognizing Russian
finances. and making the arrange
nents for the payment of the expect
ed indemnity. Witte is now on his
way to Paris and before he sails for
Washington on the 9th he viii have
made necessary arrangements for
raising the sum which is expected
Japan will demand.
Substantial concessions will be
made by Russia in the interest OF
peace. 1t is doubtful, however, If
even the peace party in Russia would
accept unnecessary humiliation Jap

The best test of a great nation is its

"A sweeping order vas issued by

dip all cattle in Beadle county,
whether suffering from disease

now comes a futher order making
greater Inconvenience for the stock
owner. The following from the
Cavour Clarion explains!
Deputy Inspector Ruby has re-
ceived instructions to notify all
owners of infected stock in this
section that they must dip the same
within ten DAYS. Ii the cattle are
not dipped within this time the in
spector will take possession of them
and they will be dipped at the ex-

issued at a time when it will work a

his resignation.
