Feminism in France.

The prediction OF the countess or
Aberdeen made at the international
Council of Women In Paris, that the
French woman will be the first to
obtain the vote upon any large scale
may well have caused surprise among
the British, German and American
delegates. American writer's upon
''the woman question" have often
fallen back upon two absurdities: the
first, that Tacitus described the Ger
mans whom the Romans fought as
paying special Difference to their
women; the second, that the French
have no word for home" Add TO this
the misapprehensions OF five-weeks'
tripper seeing Paris by night" and
a hasty observation on the Salic law
and you have the genesis OF an I'M
preston of the position of women In
France which is as prevalent as 1t is
preposterous. The fact is that Ia
citus' observations would have APP
piled quite as we'll to the Franks as
To other early northern tribes; that
the French get along very well with
the word home" so long as they have
the thing; that French family life is
at it's best of almost ideal beauty,
and that their sticking so long to the
Salic law was one of the blunders OF
the Bourbons which does not in any
case affect opinion of the republic.
Since the revolution in France many
things have changed. For one thing,
the waste of men in war has famil-
iSrized women with varied industry
and with the management OF estates
and business establishments as In
perhaps no other country. The
French family council system re-
tains for a woman not only the re-
spect of her grown son. but even
considerable measure of legal control
over him long after English and
American law would emancipate him.
He canont even marry without his
parents consent. In q hundred ways.
says the New York World, France is
the country of the married woman.
That young girls are still carefully
watched and secluded Is OF minor i'm
portance. The system works not bad
ly. There may even be lands where
daughters have too much freedom and
power for their own good and where
mothers are too meek. The growth
of "feminisme" in France of recent
years has been rapid. 1t compelled
the institution of a divorce law.
Woman suffrage is a cardinal tenet
In socialism, which has nowhere more
power in actual government than 1t
has attained in France. In Russia.
which is largely dominated by French
thought, the douma has declared for
the woman's vote. American woman
suffragists were for years divided into
two bitter hostile factions on the ques-
ton whether to work with the public
in the several states or TO appeal d.
rect to congress. The French fem
mist adopts the latter course with
put hesitation. According to the
countess of Aberdeen, she has COM
menced by trying to convince the leg
islator instead of the public. IT. is a
method well adapted to France, where
abstract ideas have always had a
fascination for public men.

Death Cannot Affect Holdings.
IL is generally believed that Mr.
Sage's vast interests will not be seri-
ously affestcd by his death. Several
times within the last few years ru-
mors have been set afloat Of Mr.
Sage's death. On one such occasion,

Electrical storms OF wide area and

nearly all directions come reports OF
buildings, mostly barns. struck by
lightning and burned; Of orchards and

harvest Of Sunday deaths Is not to be
attributed TO the storms, even as a
