The Ways of a Woman

That the woman movement" in
Germany IS OF as much importance as
the similar movement in this coun-
try, although it is being developed on
different lines, is the contention OF
the Boston Transcript. Ii should be
called ''the German motherhood
movement" for it has to do with
things maternal. As an explanation of
just what the movement is, the Trans
cript says: me new objective which
is low being pushed with vigor is
the protection of motherhood. As
DR.. Helene Stocker (Ph. d. of Berlin
has just been pointing out in the New
York Independent, although mother
hood has been idealized in art and
poetry there are many cases where
the mother stands without rights and
without protection. Although the rea-
ing of their children is said to be their
sole proper aim in life the legal and
parental power of the mother over
he children is extremely limited as
compared with the fathers
The main object of the movement
is to provide for mothers, as such
alone, whether married or unmarried,
due legal protection, medical help and
consideration in the rates of wages.
In short, what the German woman
| movement has added to the woman
| movement of the rest of the world is
the definite purpose OF attaining to
the public recognition of the need of
bringing up children as a social duty
of which the burden must be borne by
all. A motherhood annuity or a child
hood annuity, it is argued, will pro-
tect the marriage oond and institution
| moe securely than the most rigorous
| marriage and divorce laws. The Ger
man woman movement then has TAX
en- one of the most important stems
| toward the solut on of the woman
question yet conceived anywhere in
| the world by insisting that the
motherhood of women, with all its con-
sequences, shall be considered as a
social work and interest"

It is thought that the old Caylloma
silver mines in Peru are probably sit
uated at a greater elevation than any
other considerable mines in the world.
Their altitude varies between $4,000
and 1900 feet. They were worked by
the Spaniards In the sixteenth century,
and before that, it is believed, by the
Incas. An English company is now
preparing a hydro-electric plant for
them. This plant will be situated at
an altitude of between $4,000 and 49,
900 feet. 1t will derive it's power from
a waterfall on the Santiago river, and
in . dry season from Lake Huaillacho,
one Of the sources Of the Amazon. The
power will be transmitted by cable
about three miles. At the highest

TRICK NOT ALWAYS AMUSING
Sometimes Hubby 10 Entirely Unable
to See the joke.

This is . simple trick, and every
married woman can perform it; but 1t
requires the assistance Of confed-
crate with a big bag of shining tin
ware on his back. First get hus-
band with an extra pair Of slightly
worn trousers in his wardrobe; then
have the confederate-the man with
the bag of tinware-come to the back
door and knock gently. The wife
must then peep out In frightened
way, and Immediately the man with
the tinware tells . tale that re-
sembles a mining stock advertise
ment. The wife stops to think few
minutes. Suddenly she must rush to
the wardrobe, but only after the man
rattles the brilliant tinware to arouse
her. The wife must walk back to the
man again with the trousers. The
man must take them and hand the
wife a few tin pans. All the while
the man with the tinware must smile
happily. At last the transaction Is
completed, and, presto change! the
husbands trousers have disappeared
and in their place appears some tin
ware on the kitchen table. This trick
is very novel, and will amuse the
husband greatly. The trick should not
be performed while the husband is in
bed. unless he has an extra pair OF
trousers.-F. P. Pitzer, in Judge.

To Satisfy a Grudqe.

shame to play such tricks on them as
it is customary everywhere to do. A
nasty trick was played on a bachelor
friend of mine at dance. A woman
was reproaching him for never having
married, when her husband, a little
bored, perhaps, said gruff1y: "He says
he could have cut me out and married
you if he had wanted to- The woman
started. Indeed!' she cried. why
didn't he do 1T, them He says he
owed me a grudge,' the husband ex
planned, with a chuckle."
