WOMEN ON THE FARM.
Should Flee The Cities And Try
County Life.

CHICAGO, Dec. 3-"If woman
would be treated as an equal, receive
the same consideration as men, the
same recompense for their time, they
must fee the city, where even pro-
fessional men regard them and their
talents as inferior, and take up the
attractive vocation Of livestock farm
ing and agriculture" was the keynote
Of an address given yesterday at the
Chicago Woman's Club by Mrs. Vir-
ginia Meredith, of Cambridge City,
Ind, who believes that livestock rails
ing and scientific agriculture are an
outlet for mental energy.
Women find livestock farming
peculiarly attractive" said Mrs Mere
dith, because the open market is the
arbiter Of values-a comely short
horn, a tidy southdown, fine horse
these, like bushcl Of wheat or a
ton Of hay self on their merits, with
never suggestion that the price
should be discounted because they are
grown on a farm owned and man
aged by womana discount relent-
lessly enforced when women COM
pete in factories, stores, schoolrooms
or elsewhere"

WOMAN IN cANNIBALAND.

Miss Annie Ker tells some grue-
some stories in the Wide World Mag
azine for December anent her exper-
ience in land peopled with cannibals.
"The village Of Wedau," she says,
where disenmbarked, had been,
rot many years before, the scene Of
frequent cannibal feasts, and | have
many photographs which illustrate
the methods by which hapless cap
tives were carried off the fields IN
the bad old days, to be afterwards
cooked and eaten. The victim, some
times only stunned or wounded was
lashed by the hands and feet TO a
stout pole, which was borne on mems
shoulders through the village. Some
times several Of thes unhappy wretch
es we're captured at time, and the
treatment they recivd before being
mercifully killed was cruel to a de-
gress. Samuea Algeri, a Wedanau
Christian, once related to me Incl
dents Of great barbarity which had
taken place in the village in connec-
tion with the slaughter Of a man ta-
ken prisoner by the villagers. The
poor wretch asked in vain for water
to drink, and was stoned and other
wise tormented for considerable
time before being given the coup de
grace This was customary" 1t Is in
teresting to learn from Miss Ker'9
article that girls as we'll as boys learn
cooking in Wedau at a very early
age

THE GIRL AND CHRISTMAS.

We seldom stop to think, during
the mad rush OF business that goes
on till the stroke Of twelve on Christ
mas Eve, how terrible becomes the
strain on men and women who have
to cater to the wants Of the public.
The story of the girl behind the
counter has been told and re-told;
whether her lot grows easier or not
l do not know-but there are others.
Last year bought something Of a
young woman who runs an arts and
craft shop.
"You look tired, l said.
Tired! Oh, I am not tired; for /,
get to bed at midnight now. Next
week | shalt not be SO lucky. II peo-
pie would only shop little earlier in
the month! And if they would only
buy what / have on hand instead Of
giving orders that are nearly dupli-
Gates! Here is a bowl; tonight
have to paint another just like it, ex-
cept that line Of yellow goes where

flower wreath. ! have a book-slide to

Unjust leave out few acorns. II wo-
men could realize the toll, the loss OF
sleep, and the nerve wear, they would
be more merciful. A man is entirely
different He takes what he likes or
goes without. Long before Christmas
comes the holiday means nothing TO
me but respite from all-night toll.
While others are making merry, !
luxuriate in one long, unbroken, bles-
sed sleep"
Then, how many women take
thought Of the overworked market
man and his helpers? During the
hurry OF Christmas gitt-making there
is little chance to plan the feast, so
marketing becomes an afterthought.
1t is the same in the village, the town
and the city; every dealer will tell
you the same story. During the last
two days before Christmas come such
an avalanche of orders for supplies
which could just as well have been
laid in weeks before that men toiled
all night, while horses and drivers
drop from sheer exhaustion. It Is not
that women are cruel; they simply do
not think.

Anti-Seawall Sentiment
Caught on the Streets

A reporter for the Morning Astor-
ian took pains yesterday 70 note the
tone Of utteranees made on all sides
with regard to the proposed seawall,
without inviting any expressions
himself, BY hint or inquiry, and the
following are among the most tren-
chant and popular Of the opinions,
unconsciously offered, but carefully
itemzied:
Said one man; Municipal indebted
ness is to be governed somewhat by
the same rules that individual indeb,
sedncss IS. Ii II will net yield an
income, it should not be incurred,
There will be no income from a sea-
wall; just dead expense, TO be taken
out of the taxpayer without return"
Another sound citizen remarked;
"There are other things needed in
Astoria, beside q seawalll Schools,
for instance. There are not now
teachers enough nor school-houses
enough. Are the people, especially
we owners Of small homes in As
toria, going to see our children de-
MED school facilities in order that a
seawall may be builtl AS | under
stand it, the school district is now in
debt nearly $4,000 and paying inter-
est at the rate OF 5000 per annuEn.
How much school tax viii have to be
raised to pay the interest, the indeb-
tedness, the running expenses Of
schools, new teachers, and for new
buildingsi Must we send our chill
dren into the world short on educa.
tion1"
A heavy taxpayer remarked; "They
tell me there was a deficit in the FIRE
department appropriations last year,
and this, also, and | presume taxes
will have to be raised; or. perhaps
the FIRE service may be cut down,
in order to secure a seawallp
A well known citizen expressed
himself thoughtfully. as follows; The
county is over $4,000 in debt, and
much money is needed in the next
two years to complete new roads.
Large taxes will be called for that
purpose. The problem with me is,
which shall be postponed, the roads
which settle up the country and make
business, or the seawall which will do
neitherr
A well known lawyer and taxpay-
er, said, in course Of a discussion
with a friend who happened to be
contending for the seawall: "The
State levies a tax; the county ievies;
the city levies; the school district
levies: and If that seawall blil should
pass, the Seawall Commission would
levy. Each Of these departments Of
government are separate and inde-
pendent, and would make their levies
without any regard whatever to the
levieS made by the others There is

A citizen intimately related to the
water interests Of the city. said;
sThe water department, which now
costs from $4,000 to $4,000 per an
mum, Is about TO incur an additional
Indebtedness Of from 100000 to
$4,000, with an increase Of from
ten to fiteen'thousand dollars . year;
and II may become necessary to in
crease the water rates, To me, as
to all men. water Is necessity; we
cannot live without, We can all live
without the seawall, for some years
to come"
One Of the best posted men in this
city, who has long been associated
with her public agencies and inter
ests, talked as follows upon this in.
seresting theme; 'Under the pres
ent seawall bill bonds, without limit.
can be issued for filling in the tide
fats. Who is to pay ,hem' II the
lots will not sell for as much as
the tax, the city is to take the lots
for the amount of the assessment.
Who will pay the tax thens The
city has now taken in about 1000
lots which would not bring the
amount Of street tax against them,
Who is paying that taxi Is it the
general taxpayer9 Another bunch Of
lots, taxed beyond their value, win
be taken over next year These dis
posals Of property not only take
from the owners their property but
force the general taxpayer to pay
more taxes, and to pay money which
il was not contemplated he should
pay Every lot so wiped out reduces
the assessable property Of the city.
Does the taxpayer wish to pay for
delinquent tide-Aat taxes also"
This was the trend all day long.
These expressions could be strung
out interminabiy. and the name of
the speakers given for them all; but
as this was still-hunt and the men
asserting themselves quite uncon-
scious OF the notes being taken, their
names are withheld under the eour-
tesy requisite in such cases The sea-
wall bill is doomed for this time,
and the time and the conditions
thereof are propitious for the DOOM
ing.
