HOW WOMEN II HARM THEIR
CAUSE.
Union Signal.) " Il
Women seem to be at the moment
I'm a militant state. iuimical to their
Sown peace and that. Of their hus-
Bands" says Elizabeth Duer In the
Woman's Home Companion. Yet she
does not believe it ia because women,
sas q whole, wish either to rule or to
pose as goddesses. They expect lit-
tile In the way of emancipation, she
declares. except fair play and free
play" Still it is not to be wondered
Ut that men suffer under the new
state of things feminine, since few
aof them ARE willing to surrender
their supremacy for the asking, and
to most of them the new woman is
still on probation; they spell her evo-
luton with an r." Women add to the
diflculty of the situation and hurt
their cause by claiming fitness to
ahare in the larger questions of pub
lie and private polity while yet de-
manding chivalrous treatment &C
corded their weakness. "A man re-
Quires nimble wits to adjust himself
to this dual demand"
If Elizabeth Duer" means by
"chivalrous treatment" the exagger-
ated homage of a past age, she is
right; women should not demand it
and who of us wants it? 1t was,
after all, false homage, to de-
gree. But woman does not lose
her womanhood, and she need not
lose her womanhood, and she need
not lose her womanliness, by the ac-
QUESTION of the ballot or other civic
powers. She need not surrender the
consideration due to her lesser ply

to her virtue; state it as you choose
through any mistaken notion that
equal rights" lessen her title to
respect.
But women do make mistake
when they insist upon maintaining a
militant" attitude. Some of us need
to remember that we are not fighting
against men for the good of women;
we are fighting against the mistakes
of both, for the good of both. When
there are two heads in counsel ov-
er all problems, the world will be as
much better for men as for women.

Worlds Finest Fruits.

An interesting discussion In the Brit
ish Royal Horticultural society few
years ago as to what was the finest
fruit In the world ended by giving the
palm to certain yellow nectarine
raised from n peach by the late Fran
els Rivers, Next to this perhaps comes
a properly ripened greengage, one of
the best varieties of the plum. The
greengage came into Europe by way
of Italy and from Italy was brought
to France early in the sixteenth cen
tury by the wife Of Francis l., in
whose honor 1t received the name of
Reine Claude, by which it is still wide
ly known. Soon afterward it was in
troduced into England from Italy un-
der the old italian name Verdoch and
about the same time from France.
The latter importation, however, came
with lost labels to family of promi-
nent English amateur horticulturists
of that day named Gage, from whom
the fruit received Its present name.--

Tho huntaman,s Mass.

"Once every year, on st. Hubert's
day, one may see hundreds of dogs in
the Cathedral of Notre Dame at Brus-
sells. At the huntsmans mass on that
day the owners of hunting dogs take
the animals to church with them,
and for q short time the sacred edifice
becomes a dog show place" says q
writer in a Berlin paper. To heighten
the effect all the worshipers attend in
hunting costume and the bugle plays
an important part in the musical serv-
Ice. When the last celebration took
place a stranger in the city, who was
staying at one of the large hotels near
the place, strolled toward the cathedral
and took with him a pet spaniel. "Ev-
cry dog has his day." he said, "and
this is it, AT the church entrance
two pointers growled at the little dog
and did 1t so fiercely that the little fel-
low turned and ran. He was coaXed
back, but again driven away by anoth-
er large dog. "The owner took the
hint" says the writer, "and returned
to the hotel with his little pet, con-
vinced that the big dogs looked upon
the spaniel as an intruder, that he had
no part in the st. Hubert's mass and
that the day was not every dogs"

A Dreadful Assault.

Justice Bali, an Irish judge, was
noted for his amusing manifestations
of ignorance, but whether they We're
real or pretended has never been clear
ly established. He tried case in
which Il man was indicted for robbery
at the house of Il poor widow. The
first witness was the young daughter
of the widow, who identified the pris-
oner as the man who had entered the
house and smashed her mothers chest.
do you say that the prisoner at the
bar broke your mothers chest:" said
the judge in astonishment.
He did, NY lord answered the girl.
"He jumped on it till he smashed II
entirely"
The judge turned to the crown coun-
sci and said: How is this? Why is
not the prisoner indicted for murder?
If he smashed this poor woman's chest
in the way the witness has described,
, he must surely have killed her."
But, my lord" said the counsel, "it

Grip Troubles.

When mother had the grip we thought
Our lot WIS hard to bear;
We thought when sister got it. too.
She was a trying care.
We thought that brother made fuss
And graadpa made row;
But. goodness 2r, cious. thlngs are worse.
For fathers got 1t now.
Mother bravely suif :red. though
In agohy she lay;
She knew We dli the best We could
To drive her pain away.
We waited on her, hand and foot.
As we'll rs We knew how;
Today for everything we're blamed.
For fathers got 1t now.
Grandpa thought that we were slow
at times, and told us SO;
Brother said we talked too much.
But we could please them, though
Thai grip mikes p o.1'e splenilive
And cross we must allow;
But 1T does mors than that. we know,
FOR fathers got 1t now.
We whisper when we cat our meals,
We never dare to laugh,
We have to ask the neiehbors to
Choke off their phonogeaph.
And we must sit beside lis bed.
To cool his fevered brow;
Thers is no comfort In the house,
For fathers got 1t now.
We understand why people fear
The grip-our common foe
And all the cares that 1t entails
We've come at last to know,
We know the worries that 1t brings,
For under them We bow;
We know how serious 1t Is,
For fathers got 1t now.

occasion he called at house where

of the old gentleman they We're still

offered:

Social Occasions


There can lie but little done in
the outer world, during the monnth
of February and March, but the dark
months are full of opportunities for
social gatherings and the bringing
together of the people of the neigh
borhood. 1t will be but few weeks
until the call to spring work be-
comes insistent, and we can work
all the better if we had season of
relaxation and enjoyment. Plan
for some pleasant afternoons and ev-
enings, and for social gatherings at
which old friends can meet and with
"old timers In these days Of reg
ular mails, telephones and trolley
cars. sociability OF the old-fashioned
kind seems dying out, and, in the
matter of knowing their neighbors,
country people are following their
city cousins in customs that do not
tend to intimate social relations. 1t
would certainly add much to our
happiness if we might be little
more "old-fashioned." in some things
Not only should the young people
be brought together, but their elders
lave need of these comminglings
There is nothing more refreshing tc
the worn and worried mother of the
family than to get away from the
house fora few hours, aud enjoy
the society of others outside her own
family. Old people should try to
retain their youthful spirits; it is
better than all the health foods

mind. but for the body, to attend
