WOMAN SUFFRAGE IN ITALY
Has Suddenly Become Subject Of
Much Interest in That
Country. ~.e

The question Of woman suffrage has
suddenly and most Unexpectedly as
sumed large and amusing proportions
In Italy. Last year the idea Of wom-
en- voting was regarded as purely
academic one, while IL months later
it is looming SO large that many
mere men" are rushing into print for
the purpose Of proving the inferiority
of women.
Signorina Sacchi, who applied to the
proper authorities to be allowed to
vote, on the ground that it is not for
hidden by Italian law, was benevo-
lently listened to, and her name in
serted in the voting list, her example
being followed by many others. But
and here is the rub-the lists must be
submitted to a higher authority, and
he may, and probably will, refuse the
desired permission. Meanwhile, con-
stituency has fallen vacant, and its
enterprising electors have invited Sig
norma Sacchi to stand, the idea being
to make her a deputy before the elec-
toral lists are revised! Thus she
stands very fair chance Of going
down to posterity as the first woman
deputy in Europe, and of having at
tained this triumph of "feminism" in
a country centuries behind others In
such ideas, and where woman is still
regarded as too precious possession
to walk alone or be allowed full lib
erty in anything.

PoNkAPoo PLANTATION.
Six Thousand Acres Of New Englaps
Soil Granted Indians in
..ssz .s 1857.

Ponkapog, the unpretentious, and
Canton, the town corporate, are en-
trancing bits Of historic soil. More
over, to such as love to trace the be-
ginnings Of things, Blue Hills-the old
Cheviot Hills Of John Smiths "Jour-
nal will furnish a creditab1e list Of
civic and industrial benefactions
which had their origin In this locali-
ty, says the New England Magazine.
While the white men were making
themselves homes and becoming land
ed proprietors in this section, so
richly endowed by nature, the Indians
were crowding into more restricted
quarters. At his juncture there came
one preaching in the wilderness to
them-that wonderful man, the apos-
tie Eliot. The Indian plantation at
Ponkapog, mot exceeding 1000 acres, =
was granted IN 1861, and became the
Second Praying Town. - These sons
Of the forest not only hunted. fished,
helped the early settlers build their
houses and gather their crops. but the
more ambitious learned to prepare
shingles and clapboards for the Ros-l
ton market. ss.8z Y

MODEL OF OLD cITADELs.
Hotel Of French Village That Is q
/. u. Reminder Of the Feudal
Past,

II one desired to look for q model
and type of the citadels of a past, tot
tering but still resistant, one that car
ries its banner high, one could not
do better than to visit the Hotel de La
Rochefoucauld-D -Doudeauville, writes
Camille Gronkowski, in French
Chateaux," in Century. In the very
aristocratic Rue de Varennes, all Of
stone, one notes the almost complete
absence of those horrible six-story
houses, veritable barracks which now
overwhelm Paris with their preten-
tious ugliness. High gates with coats
Of arms, big roofs peeping over walls,
spaces between houses, and a few trees,
even, extending their centuried
branches almost over the street, which
conceal the nests Of birds. One reads
on the door the name De La Rochefou-
cauld, and an entire past Is evoked.
But that is the only sign given the
passer-by. Who is it lives behind the
monumental portal? Is the palace q
vast one? Are the pleasures of a park
allowed the lucky owner of the resi-
dence? Behind that first wall .
whole seigniorial existence plays its
part, far off and unrevealing. This
touch of the unknown-is it not SYM
bolical? It gives one at the very
threshold a hint of splendor and iso-
lation.

GUN COTTON AS FUEL.
Will Probably Be Used by United

Emergencies.

Light another hundred-foot candle
Of condensed gun cotton! We must
make the next mile in less than min
ute!''
That command, or something like
it, will be given by the commander Of
a United States torpedo boat in the
next war in which this country may
unhappily be engaged, writes Mr.. w.
H. Stewart, in Technical World Mag
azine. It will not mean that, finding
his ship in desperate situation, the
captain has decided to blow himself
and his whole command out Of the
water. It will signify only the adop-
tion as emergency fuel Of the wonder
full new compound, "motorite," se-
cret composition of gun cotton and
nitroglycerine, invented by Hiram.
Maxim, whose ''Maximite'' is the high
explosive now used by the government
In submarine torpedoes.
Motorite for fuel use is packed In
long steel tubes and under forced draft
can furnish an almost unlimited
amount Of power for short distance.

trial than Belgium Within few
decades the meadows of Brabrant, the
leafy copses Of Hainaut, and the val
leys Of the Meuse and the Sambre have
been scanned and SCARED by hundreds
of colleries and iron foundries, writes
Christian Brinton, in "A Sculptor OF
the Laborer," in Century. Everything,
it would appear, has conspired to an
initiate art and the sense of beauty.
yet both have survived and have even
taken on new and deeper significance.
The novels Of Camille Lemonnier, the
verse Of Verhaeren and the gentle mys-
ticism of the Maeterlinck have all flow
cred on this somber battlefield Of in
dustry. In painting Laermans and
Frederick reveal penetrating mas
terry, while the sculpture of George
Mime embodies dolorous and tender
appeal.
It is not despite, but because of, ex-
listing conditions that such results
have been achieved. The art of Bel
GUM is uncompromising1y social. It
mas never been and never can be, a
mere matter Of play or prettiness.
Nowhere Is the social function Of art
more clearly understood; nowhere is
It's expression more robust or more
concrete. Around Charles de Groux,
the apostle of the poor, the painter OF
the forlorn and .famished, gathered a
group Of men whose creed was actual
ity, whose passion was not vapid, Ian
guild loveliness, but a truth that could
enlist the deepest human emotions and
aspirations. The supreme accent OF
the movement did not. however, man
ifest itself in painting or in letters. It
was voiced in the vigorous yet re-
signed art of ,Constantin Meunier. i.

HORSE WAS oBsERvANT.
Remarkable Sagacity Of an Ordinary
Farm Animal Described
by Owner.

Another champion Of the reasoning
power Of animals has come forward
with special instance. A retired
farmer living in Kansas City says that
he once had a farm horse that un.
doubtedly possessed reasoning facul.
ties. This horse" he says, was once
injured by barbed wire, and he had q
wholesome dread of barb wire ever
after. He could not be induced to step
across wire lying on the ground. One
day, when this horse was grazing in
the pasture, I started with another
team to water them at q pond. To
reach this pond went through gate
into field and on through the field.
going out on the other side by cross.
Ing the fence wires lowered to the
ground and fastened. The horse in
the pasture, seeing that was driving
the team to water followed until he
came to the place where ! crossed the
wires. He refused to do 1t and went
back and around the field.
The next day he followed the team
again going to water, having forgot
ten about the wires that lay in the
way. While down In hollow out Of
sight Of the fence In either direction
the cogitative horse suddenly remem-
bered that those wires were probably
lying in the same position they were
the day before. Tossing up his head
with a disgruntled snort, he turned
and trudged back around the field.
That was case Of reason. From cold
facts and propositions retained IN his
memory and not excited by any new
perceptions, he refectively reasoned
out that he'd have to make detour
sooner or later and he might as well
start now.

FOR cHARITY's SAKE ONLY
Scheme for Corralling Her Husbands
Loose Change Worked
zs@Es by Wife.

A West Philadelphia man who deter
mined few days ago to abstain total
" from strong drink for a period was
persuaded by his wife into financial
arrangement which threatened to work
disastrously, relates the Philadelphia
hecord.
The agreement was that every time
the man refused an invitation to take
q drink he was to put the money
which he would probably have spent
in returning the compliment into a
pocket reserved for the purpose and
give the contents Of the pocket to his
wife every night. She was to use this
money for charity, and for fear the
husband might not have always the
exact change to put in the pocket she
provided him with number OF beans
to be used as counters, valued at five
cents each, and to save bookkeeping
a1d memorizing. sl=
The first evening the man got home
he found IS cents In cash ii his pocket
and % beans. This marked q very
exceptional day, the man declared, but
the next evening he found his pocket
carried one dime and 33 beans. Then
he alleged that he would probably
have refused some OF the invitations
which he had counted even II he had
not been on the water wagon, where
upon his wife confessed that she had
made arrangements with her father,
her brother and her sisters husband
to go to the abstainer every day as
often as possible with an invitation
to drink.
Since It all went to charity the hus-
band took the joke, but now, though
the arrangement is still on, the wife's
receipts from the pocket have ma
terially lessened.
