When Nerves Are tangled.

Diseased nerves play queer
pranks," said the specialist. Il had a
patient who once spent five months in
a hospital, taking rest cure. He suf-
fered from insomnia constantly. To
reach his home It was necessary to
spend a night on the cars, and he
looked forward to this with great
dread. Even when well he had always
slept poorly on train, and he looked
forward to an absolutely wide-awake
night. So he supplied himself with a
powder in the hope that it might help
a little.
"He didn't need the drug, however.
He6slept eight solid hours, far better
than in the quiet Of the hospital. Now
little coffee or smoking or any ex-
element in the evening will give him
insomnia. Yet when he once gets to
sleep he is the hardest person in the
house to awaken. The firecrackers on
the nights of July and 4 he never
hears. A big fire on the block, with
all the noise Of the engines, didn't
arouse him.
Then there was a woman who had
nervous prostration so badly that she
was confined to bed and had to have .

matte world; who attain positions Of
prominence in philanthropic, educa-
tional, or reform organization, or who
are possessed Of any special ability or
knowledge.
In the conservative countries mar
riage is all important to a woman and
of secondary interest to man. The
stories end with the wedding of the
heroine, for 1t settles her career. She
is now merged in her husband and no
more Is expected or heard of her.
Meanwhile the man pursues the even
tenor Of his way, his marriage being
but more or less important incident.
But the American woman's growth
Of interests outside of marriage has
increased the Importance Of marriage
to men. The more developed woman
of the United States touches her hus-
bands nature at many points and fills
a larger place in his life. He discusses
public affairs with her, confides In her
the details Of his business, asks her
opinion, and frequently follows her
ests her wishes carry equal weight
with his. In brief, the American wife
holds position in the respect as well
as the affection of her husband that
makes the American man q proverbial
matrimonial prize.
or course, all American women are
not free, respected and happy. There
are wives in the United States who
are bullied and bossed, treated with
contempt, beaten and even murdered
But in these also are many instances

Old Idea Of Ownership" Gone.
In America, however, as is outlined
by Mrs. Commander and Is observed
by all observers, the old relationship
OF owner and owned Is giving place to
one Of equality and comradeship. Man
does not marry with the idea OF secur-

The well-worn maxim has 1t that the

Herbert Spencer wrote mournful and
great words when he observed that in
the history of humanity as written the
saddest part concerns the treatment OF
women. "And II we had before US its

part still sadder. say the saddest
Nbecanse though there have been many

IF, looking first at their state OF

we pass to the uncivilized, and observe
the lives Of hardship borne by nearly
all of them, IL we then think what
must have gone on among those still
under peoples, who for SO many thou
sands of years roamed over the uncul-
tured earth, we shall infer that the
amount of. suffering which has been
and is borne by women is utterly be-
yond imagination.
Utter absence Of sympathy made 1t
inevitable that women should suffer
from the egoism of men, without any
limit as to their ability to bear the en-
tailed hardships. Passing this limit,
the ill-treatment by rendering the
women incapable of rearing a due

safely assume that multitudes Of
tribes disappeared from this cause,

Australian Does Not Love Wife.
In Australia Sir John Lubbock
found little real affection exists be-
tween husbands and wives, and young
men value wife principally for her
service as slave; in fact, when asked
why they are anxious to obtain wives,
their usual reply is that they may get
wood, water and food for them and
carry whatever property they may
possess.
The Australian women are treated
with the utmost brutality, beaten and
speared in the limbs on the most
trivial provocation.
Few women will be found upon ex.

In the Soudan, where the removal Of

Japanese Widows BIacken Teeth.
In India the subsection of women
has had it's Headquarters. The suttee
or the burning of widows on the
funeral pyres Of their husbands Is not
yet wholly extinct, although forbidden
by law; and the remarriage OF widows
is only beginning to be permitted. The
widow at best leads an isolated ex-
istence, cut OF from her natural asso-
ciates, condemned to base foods and a
life Of practical servitude.
In Japan the widow must blacken
her teeth and shave her eyebrows.
Throughout the orient women are
taught to address their husbands as

speak to their wives as slaves and

In America women who want learn

placed upon their place and manner of

Of society. And in America they have

Although In Russia clubs are only
beginning to be lawful, and in France
and Germany conditions are little bet

sphere; that she has determined to
assert her equality in many directions
and that she has entered and occupied
the great field of remunerative en-
ployment."
American Women Not Humble.
The woman of America is charac.
terized as independent, forceful, capa-
BILE and far from humble. Obedience
is furthest from her thoughts. Civil
marriages rarely contain the word
obey; some Of the churches have
dropped It; when It is uttered It is
either regarded as Joke or explained
as a desire to please, prompted by
love-something which would be
equally applicable to the husband.
"Selfsacrifice, formerly a cardinal
womanly virtue, is no longer in high
favor. Self-development is rapidly
taking its place. The American WON
an has imbibed a new doctrine, that
of freedom and happiness. She does
not believe that she should be sub
missive, that her life should be hedged
with limitations, or that she Is fore
doomed to suffer for the sins Of others
Foreigners coming to this country
never are known to comment upon
the American woman as clinging
timid, humble. dependent, submissive
self-sacrificing, without confidence in
her abilities or inclination to protect
her rights and convinced OF the su
periority of man."
On the contrary, as Mrs. Lydis
Kingsmill Commander testifies in heI
scientific study OF American woman
she is always remarked for her self
reliance, force, freedom, intelligence
and capacity. She Is intent upon be
ing herself, not the pale reflection Of
some one else, and upon developing
the possibilities of life to the utmost
She has great respect, and she com
mands the respect Of others.
Sexes Stand on an Equality.
Naturally women sustaining such al
tered relations to society and sc
changed In character hold different
relation to men. The sexes are more
on a parity, says Mrs. Commander
Their lives are more closely associ
