WOMEN IN CATO'S DAY.
No Easy Job for Ancient Boss 10 De
feat Organized Roman MatrOns.

1cAI ORGANIZED hOmum huNrOmH.
From the Outlook. T..
Among other interesting phases OF Ro-
man life. which Prof Abbott On his
Society and Politics In Ancient Romeo
presents at close range. is the position
Of women IN public affairs. Englishmen
may be cousoIed by the knowledge that
the Romans had their troubles 200 years
ago. and that the sUfragette is not a
modern monsTosity. After the battle Of
Cannae, when Rome had 20 call out the
last reserve resources. a law was passed
fOrbiddlng any woman 20 wear a parti-
co!ored garment or 20 ride in a chariot
except for religious purposes. Later. when
prosperity had returned and the Roman
women very naturally wished 70 resume
their fuery and 10 drive about In their
chariots. they persuaded two Of the
tribunes TO propose q repeal OF the law,
and used other methods so violent that
Ivy declared that the matrons were kept
az home neither by persuasion, modesty.
nor the authority OF their husbands. They
blocked up all the approaches TO the
Forum. importuning men TO vote for the
restoration OF their rights.
Cato was the leader OF the party op-
posed 20 them, and used the most IN
daciOus attempt TO interfere with politics
and he sums up his remonstrance in the
sentence. las soon as they have begun 20

The Ideal Wife.

Now that Chicago has definitely To-
Gated the ideal husband-or. at least the
model husband. which must be pretty
much the same thing-it is interesting TO
learn that a Philadelphia clergyman has
undertaken 20 discover the ideal wife.
We suspect il would be pleasant to
know just what sort Of wife an ideal
wife is. or could be. or should be. Every
man who has no wife devoutly hopes he
may have an ideal specimen when he
does acquire one, Of course. Very few
men who have wives are utterly free
from more or less haunting suspicion
that they may not be precisely ideal. in
all human probability
But what is an ideal wife. anyway? Is
she one who never nags. and never ex-
cessively spends, and never is away from
home at the wrong time. or at home at
the wrong time? Is she one who never
bothers around the business office dur
ing rush hours. or says disagreeabIe
things about your neighbours wife-whom
you think particularly pretty, perhaps?
Is she all Of these things, or some OF
them. or none OF them? We confess we
do not know. Tastes are so varied and
so different that the ideal Of one may
be the bette noir Of the other; and the
home wherein every prospect pleases to
this eye may be the home Of grotesdue
and unenchanting proportions TO that
The only variety OF wife we can think
OF who might be designated even ap-
proXimately ideal. we fear IS the one
who can discover how best and most per-
suasively 10 manage her husband and
adapt herself to his varying moods and
tempers. If she can keep him reasonably
well pleased gastronomically. soothingly
conscientious Of a mild mental superior
lty. and smugly content that his business
judgment Is never legitimately the tar
get OF adverse criticism justly founded
she must, indeed, be very nearly ideal
And this latter thought leads us ia
wonder II. after ALL the ideal wife is
not much more numerous than mere man
iaclines to suspect generally. Doubtless
many a demure and sweetly innocent
wife in this world would smile knowingly
enough were the suggestion thrown al
her precipitately and without giving hei
time to consider it at any considerable
length.

The Heavy Officers Bill.

Unique claims upon the government
promise TO he made by virtue Of the an
nual physical test required OF naval Off
GERS. The order. which sought to es-
tablish an annual demonstration Of physi-
cal fitness in the hope Of encouraging
regular exercise on the part Of individ-
Uals, set forth three methods by which
an officer might furnish evidence Of his
ability TO perform his professional duties
He could walk, propel a bicycle. or ride
a horse, the distance in the three days
allotted for the test being rendered in
the equivalent. presumably on a scientific
basis. although there appears to be some
difference OF expert opinion now regard
ing the exactness Of these relative condi-
lions
Il IS interesting 10 know that some
officers, who have been put to unusual
expense In preparing for or in making
the test. now appear as claimants for
reimbursement in the amounts they have
disbursed. one officer. who possesses
weight which makes walking difficult
and bicycle riding perilous chose the
horse as the means OF satisfying the
official requirement OF agility and endur-
ance. He was obliged 10 patronize a local
livery for the temporary use Of an ami
NAL He was obliged to rent a horse OF
size and strength. and his preliminary
rides and the three-day test itself were
only conducted. Il is understood. under
many restrictions imposed by the livery
man. At all events. he emerged from
this physical test about SO out OF pocket.
Another officer expended about half that
sum in a similar act OF public duty.
These officers believe they should be re-
imbursed for the amounts they have ex-
pended, Just as they would have refunded
70 them money which they spent in per-
forming public travel under official orders
It so happens. however, that the officers
who rode or walked in the annual physi-
cal test have not been ordered" 10 that
demonstration. The adroit officials Of the
Navy Department have simply author
lied an officer 10 take a physical test
lat his convenience" This seems to be
q saving clause and Is a resort 10 dis
eliminating phraseology which does the
naval administration infinite credit as a
contribution TO public economy. The cor.
pUlent naval officer therefore, who was
obliged 10 draw upon his personal income
to perform a test upon the results OF
which depend his continuance on the &C.
tive list, finds that he Is authorized
TO discharge an obligation. and he must
pay the freight"

Again Methuselah.

Having been moved TO some more or
less pertinent remarks a little while ago
concerning the senselessness Of so-called
higher criticism" OF the Bible, we made
specific mention Of tho late Methuselah.
and noted some recent scientific attempts
to revise his age downward Attention
was called to the fact that years were
really months in earlier Biblical times.
in the philosophy OF certain investi-
gator, and that by n rational reduction
in accordance herewith. the patrI-
archs age ought to be set down as hav-
ing been a fraction over eighty, as we
reckon time nowadays. and not 9S9. as
IS duly accredited him in the Holy Writ.
BY a parallel process. the extreme lon
gevity alleged in the Bible with respect
to other famous characters suffered sim
liar revision.
Now comes a Virginia correspondent
one who knows his Bible well. moreover
and challenges this iconoclastic maltreat-
ment of Methuselah, and 10 good pur-
pose. II. he inquiries. this wise man OF
modern times is so sure that the year
OF NGethuselah's time was merely the
month OF to-day. how happens II that
Enos became the father Of Cainan at
ninety. the which reduced 10 modern fig
ures would be seven and one-half years?
And that Cainan became the father Of
Mahalaleel at seventy. or. reduced, n
fraction less than six years? This. Of
course. is the reductio ad absurdum. It
knocks downward revision OF Methuselah
galley west. and we are glad OF It.
The real truth OF the matter Is, crtit-
cism Of the Bible is dangerously tick
|! lish business in any circumstances. II
IS best mat II be taken, as heretofore
suggested. just as Il is, without one plea
Our firm faith TO believe is the sheet an
Choir OF our hopes. We tamper with the
very foundations OF our spiritual struc-
ture when we question too critically
where we may not invariably under
stand.
After all. there was something 10 say
even for the old minister upon whom
the very bad boys played the question:
able joke Of pastinC two pages Of his
Bible together IN such wise that he read:
And the rib which the Lord God had
taken from man made He a woman
here turning the two pasted pages and
COMMUNICATIVE breadth OF fifty cUbits
and the height Of thirty cubits." No
mentarily astounded though ne may have
been. he questioned It not. but, lifting his
| eyes. remarked 10 his congregation:
Brethren and sisters. do not recall
| having read this before. but I direct
/ your attention 20 the fact that 81 justiies
the Word wherein elsewhere t Is writ
There were giants IN those days and
that some Of us are fearfully and won
derfully made"
The happlest people are those who do
not seek too diligently TO untangle every
little kink they encounter in the Bible
The larger and compelling truths are
gloliously sufficient unto our several
necessities.
