An ExeItinn Situation.

It was the ninth inning. and the WIS.,

a tie, and every spectator in grand

make It more exciting the bases were
full. with two men out. and the teams
best swatter was up. with three balls
and no strikes to his credit.
In this trying moment the pitcher
flung one straight at the plate.
'Str-r-r-ike one"'
A yell broke from thousands of
threats.
Again the ball darted toward the
plate.
"Str-r-r-ike two-'
Another unearthly yell waited up
from the assemblage. Then n death
Hike stiffness fell over all as the pitch
er carefully adjusted himself for the
next and last effort.
In the midst Of this pervading hush
a young lady just back Of the catcher
loudly appealed to her escort:

Institutes For Women.
Farmers institutes heretofore have
been largely conducted for men. If
women attended. they have had to con-
slider the same subjects as the men, as
a rule. But now the movement for
distinct farmers Institutes for women
is rnpidly growing, and 1t is considered
by the department the best agency at
present to increase the countrywom-
ans knowledge of domestic science.
Last year 1872 meetings for country
women were held by the farmers in
stitute directors in the several states.
The work in such Institutes is far from
perfect, but 1t is in the right direction.
AS in the case of many other things,
other more progressive nations in such
matters are far ahead of the United
States, though the American finds it
hard to realize 1t. Austria. Belgium,
Sweden. Norway, Denmark, Switzer-
land. France and the German states
have for many years been conducting
schools of domestic science and home
economics specially adapted to coun-
try people and also courses of study in
these subjects in fixed institutions in
towns and cities,

he was prime minister four times. but
he led In all movements looking to the

Some of his eulogists referred to him
as the Washington of his country.
In a speech made a few years ago
President Hadley OF Yale university
said that Prince Ito was one of the
greatest three men then living. His
view was shared by other observers of

His Fatal Errand.
On his fatal errand to Manchuria
Prince Ito presumably went to attempt
to settle the disputes that have been
In progress ever since the Japanese

agreed to evacuate Manchuria, but

Prince Ito until last June was resi-

TO AID FARMERS WIVES
Department of Agriculture Already
Deciding Upon Details of the
Movement.

Convinced that the countrywoman Is
not getting the necessary training In
the way TO manage a home and be-
cause of the fact that instruction In
domestic science is for the most part
confined to students in towns and cities
the department of agriculture has tax
en- up seriously the question OF how to
train the women Of the rural districts
to do their work and manage their
homes.
The Individual brought up in the
country may suspect that the farmers
wife knows more about running home
properly than her sister In the city, but
the department OF agriculture doesn't
feel that way about it. 1t finds great
need for instructing the farmers wives
ana daughters IN domestic science and
purposes to make a beginning through
farmers Institutes for women.
Results of Ignorance In Home.
According to a report on the subject
by John Hamilton, farmers Institute
specialist OF the department OF agricul-
ture. comparatively little is being done
In training women and girls who live
In the country in domestic science or
the management of the home. The
rural schools do little, and other OPP
portunities are few. Ignorance in the
home Of the proper way to manage it,
Mr.. Hamilton points out, means food
Improperly prepared and sanitary con-
ditions neglected. Moreover. the selec-
ton and cooking OF food and the keep
ing OF things clean are not all the items
in the Duties Of the countrywoman.
Other problems exist, such az those
connected with the rearing and educa-
lion Of children, the clothing OF the
samliy and the social. Intellectual and
aesthetic Improvement Of the housewife
herself.
Radical Change In Methods.
According TO the census OF 19Oo,
there were S7,244,145 women and girls
In this country. About 35 per cent, or
over $4,000, 600, lived in the rural dis
tricts. Mr.. Hamilton says that to reach
this crest multitude with even limited
educational facilities for the study OF
domestic science and household art
VIII require, as Mr.. Hamilton views it,
a radical change in the methods here
