RUSSIAN WOMEN.
The Many Restrictions to Which
They Are Now Subjected.

1t is difficult for an American to I'M
derstand that freedom as we know it
does not exist in Russia. There the le-
gal position of woman is far from sat
isfactory. She hardly ever belongs to
herself, but is always under the tute-
lage Of some one.
AS daughter the Russian woman is
under the entire control of her parents.
Her coming of age does not alter her
position. She simply changes the au-
thority of her parents for the no less
rigid authority of her husband. AS the
Russian statute puts it, "One person
cannot reasonably be expected to fully
satisfy two such unlimited powers as
that of husband and parent"
The unlimited power of the parent is
withdrawn and that Of the husband
substituted. She cannot leave her lord
even to visit a neighboring town with
out pass" from him. He names the
time she is permitted to stay, and at
the end of that time she is bound to re-
turn to get the pass renewed.
A husband may appear in a court of
law as a witness against his wife, but
a wife is not allowed to appear against
her husband. A woman's evidence in
Russia is always regarded as Of less
weight than that of d man.-HarperS
Weekly.

WINTER CHEER.

The winter season is pre-eminently
the period Of the supremacy Of the
good cheer and enjoyment of the life
of the family circle; hence anything
that can be done to make it brighter
or more wholesome through the pur-
chase of games, good books and maya
zines and music in various forms is
justihable and praiseworthy from the
very highest standard of essential. 1t
is Of infinitely more importance-this
making of the Preside helpful and hap
py for the growing boys and girls
than the breeding of this or that strain
of blooded stock or the mixing Of bal
anced rations for milk and beef pro-
duetion. A fine home. with all its up
lifting and molding influence, is the
greatest and most vital asset which
this country possesses today, and for
this reason everything possible should
be done by all members Of the home
circle to make this as effective an In
fuence as 1t is possible for it to be.
Good blood tells in both folks and
animals, and there should be an effort
to have just as much of it in both as
possible.

Before long 1t will be time to cover
the tender things for winter, including
the rosebusaes, pansies and other
plants that may be left out of doors.
In doing this the important thing TO
remember Is not that the covering Is
put on to keep things warm so much
as to furnish a shade from the rays of
the sun to prevent the alternate thaw-
ing and freezing which are bound to
take place In the varying tempera-
lures of the winter months. For the
rosebushes nothing is better than lay
ing them down and covering them
with boards or an old door. If these
are not available, cornstalks, leaves or
other coarse litter will do. The finer
It is the greater is the likelihood that
it may become harbor for mice,
which may girdie the bushes IL they
get very hungry. While the pansies
are quite hardy, it is well to give
them a similar covering. Old pieces
of carpet or mating may be used for
this.

just beneath the surface of the earth
in the pot with the sword fern or palm
