Frenchwomen have long been noted

represented In the International League
For Female Suffrage, a fact attributed
BY a leading German suffragist, writ,
Ing In the Continent. published In Ber,
I'm, to the indifference Of Frenchwomen
themselves. Says this writer:
French feminists have not yet advanced

The league, indeed. admits none but ma.

Since there has been no agitation for

James j. Hill says that the credit
OF the railroads has been ruined,
Loss OF credit, of course, means that
the public has lost confidence in the
managers Of the railroad corporations
and for that result the Harrimans,
Schitfs, Cassatts and others who have
been involved In the scandals of the
past two years are responsible. No
doubt, these men would be Rlpd to
unload their watered stock on the
government. But that scheme won t
work. Government ownership by
purchase would he based on actual
values; but government control is
preferable to ownership II can be
made effective.

Training Nstive Singers &C Home.
Music schools have frequently been
launched In this country with flourish
Of trumpets, but we have the opinion
Of an expert In music that the real
thing Is yet to come. Lillian NOrdica,
the grand opera star, proposes to estab-
lish a school on the Hudson for the
training Of young singers that shall
save them the expense Of study abroad
to fit them for careers. Nordica knows
what she Is talking about. She is not
theoriut, like many who try to do good
and fall into the hands of designing
specialists. She has won her own way
against every form Of Encouragement
and now that she has reached the top
and gained a big reward proposes to
elevate music in this country and give
a lift to deserving beginners at the
same time,
About a year ago an offlcial Of the
United States government in Italy sent
home a warning to American girls
about attempting to advance their art
by studying in Milan. The report
showed that foreign students are i'm
posed upon at every turn. In the pres
ept stage of musical development here
there iS no reason why the larger part
Of the preliminary work which has
been done abroad cannot be carried on
at home IL a master mind provides the
necessary equipment. Nordica has lit
orally struggled to the top herself, and
the fact that she Ii willing to devote
the years henceforth to the cause Of
music in America Is evidence that her
heart Ia In 1t. II any person 10 especial.
ly fitted to found and control an insti-
tuition for the higher musical training
1t is NordIca. Her long experience and
her lofty ideals, which neither success
has dimmed nor hardship lowered, |
are guarantees that she will give Amer
lea temple and capital of art.

was 1874 cents in 1905 and 21.2 cents

Among the articles showing a mark.
cd Increase, In some cases 100 per cent
since 1907 and about 90 per cent in the
year 1908-07, are india rubber, raw
silk, lumber, raw wool, tea and tin in

Wool Of all classes increased In the
decade from 1907 to 1905 and also ad.
vanced in 1907, Tea increased 2 cents
a pound In ten years and 4 cents a
pound in 1907. Sugar and coffee show
ed a slight reduction In 1906 and 1907
from the average In 1907. There have
been lower years than 1897 since that
date for some articles; hence the prices
in 1907 are at times double those OF a
few years ago. For instance, clothing
wool averaged ~ cents In 1902 as
against 11.3 cents in 1897. "a cents In
1905 and 20 cents In April, 1907. The

Science and Sentiment.

A member of the Sixtieth congress
recently announced before a body OF
scientists that at the next session he
will Introduce a bill to establish fed
eral supervision over our problems of
sanitation and hygiene. This is a rad
lcal step, for hygiene and sentiment
are continually at odds in our daily
life.
Hygiene would condemn the highly
seasoned and oil stained meerschaum
or brier pipe, but sentiment says there
Is no pipe like 1t for cool, well fla
vored and pleasing smoke; besides
which, such a pipe has numberless as
soclations, and the very sight of 1t re-
calls pleasant personal experiences.
Hygiene dictates the removal Of all so
called dirt Aims and the bringing to
light of an exquisitely cleaned and
smooth surface whereon no bacteria
can find Judgment. Sentiment prefers
the tone aud dignity of deposit and
loathes brand new stone, brick or tile.
Hygiene would dispense with curtains
and carpets and bid us live In rooms
with walls and floors polished like a
well appointed dairy. To these things
the sentiments Of some people, at all
events, naturally object.
Hygiene has long attempted to ban,
ish the open fire, but sentiment has
strongly and so far successfully re-
sisted this attempt Hygiene would
take away the jelly from the dietary
because 1t is an excellent culture me-
dium for mlcro-organisms. Sentiment
bids 1t stay. Instances could easily be
multiplied. With hygiene there is no
middle course. Its cry is sterilize.
sterllize, scour, scour. But to sentl.
ment sterilization and securing mean

strife between sentiment and science

lutte 1t is impossible to say, for much

1t undoubtedly helped to advertise
quickly the various faiths built nm on
the mind cure principle that the claims
made for this method were sometimes
most extravagant On the other hand.
the extreme ground taken has led to
criticism which in the end must bring
the mind cure methods to a relentless
test. The claim has been made that
disease Is the result Of worry, therefore
worry is foe to well being. This last
may be granted without asserting to
the doctrine that when a suffering per
son banlshes worry there is nothing
more to do but to get we'll.
All OF this ground has been gone over
by orthodox physicians and teachers
from time immemorial. When a man
or woman 10 physically below par with
no apparent reason the wise doctors
first query will be, lis anything prey
Ing ON your mind?" Many a work of
relief II not Of complete cure has been
started by this blunt excursion into the
realm Of personal mysteries. Whether
the worry is the result Of a well mark
ed disease or contributing cause to
physical symptoms, the victim, IL in
teiligent, Is benefited by facing the
truth. Mind cure believers may ar
rive at the truth more rapidly than do
those who Insist upon the reality and
the Importance of disease. But this is
only the forks OF the road. The real
problem Is which path to take-heal the
body and restore tone to the mind or
"lolly" the mind and let the body fare
on as 1t may?
One teaching of the Scriptures says,
'Srhey that wait on the Lord shall
renew their strength" and the preach
ers read the whole Decalogue into
this brief text. The point is that
man may so live that he will have
nothing to worry about, and his up
right life will make for sound body.
Argued to finish, this is for all Ills
the righteousness cure, which is the
Oldest, the simplest and the best de-
fined of all.
