The "silence Cure.n

Some noble and deep thinking ply.
sician has discovered what he calls
the silence cure" for all diseases OF
the nerves. To apply the cure "all
that Is necessary is for the woman
to sit apart for an hour each day, in
absolute silence. Husbands who have
been able to try this cure report great
benefit, but, Of course Il is very hard
upon the ladies. Only the self.sacrifc.
ing devotion Of a wife, who places her
husbands welfare above everything
would be capable Of carrying out the
terms Of this cure, aud 1t is an ordeal
that cannot but be injurious to them
II persisted in. So far. there have
been no explosions. but suppressed
conversation is very dangerous, and
at any time we may expect to hear
OF such an accident, wrecklng the
home and manning the family. Whilst
THE silence cure" is undoubtedly OF
benefit to the patient, SO the St.
Louis Globe. Democrat, II is attended
with such grave menaces that II is
doubtful II II ever become popular.
Our native chivalry would cause us
TO refuse to take advantage Of H. We
would prefer TO 90 on having our
nerves frazzled, rather than have our
devoted wives and mothers make this
heroic sacrifice. And, after all, there
are other means, answering the same
end, and safer. There is the "vaca.

Feminism in France.

Feminism in France.
The prediction OF the countess OF
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 writers 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 a fye-weeks
tripper seeing Paris by night and
a hasty observation on the Sale law
and you have the genesis of an I'm
preston Of TIE position of women In
France which is as prevalent as II Is
preposterous. The fact is that Ia
citus' observations would have ap-
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 us they have
the thing; that French family life is
al its best Of almost ideal beauty,
and that their sticking SO long 10 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.
iarized 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-
srect OF her grown son. but even
considerable measure Of legal control
over him long after English and
American law would emancipate him.
lie canont even E.agry without his
parents consent. In a 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 miaor 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. II compelled
the institution Of a divorce law.
Woman suffrage Is 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 womans vote. American woman
sutfragists were for years divided into
two bitter hostile factions on the ques.
tion whether to work with the public
in the several states or to appeal di.
rect to congress. The French fem
mist adopts the latter course with.
out hesitation According TO the
countess Of Aberdeen, she has com
menced by trying to convince the leg
islator instead Of the public 1t is q
method well adapted to France, where
abstract ideas have always had Q
fascination for public men.
