AMERICAN WOMEN
ARE WELL OFF
COMPARED WITH OTHER COUNTRIES
FAIR sen IN U. S. SHOULD
NOT COMPLAIN.

COMPARED WITH OTHER COUNTRIES
FAIR SEX IN U. S. SHOULD
NOT COMPLAIN.
Women in America have no reason,
as whole, to consider their lot any
thing but fortunate when it is compar-
ed with that of their sisters in some
foreign countries. Take for instance
the way womankind among Russia's
poorer classes is dealt with. A Russian
wife is nine times out of ten treated
with the utmost brutality and beaten
on the most trivial provocation. In
many districts she is used as beast of
burden. She is rather looked upon as
slave than as a human being with
tastes, desires and feelings of her own.
Here the old adage is correct, that
the most debased and injured of wo-
mankind is to be found in the most
primitive states. One can not help
when one travels in Russia and in the
Balkan Peninsula recalling the words
of Herbert Spencer, who thought that
the saddest part of the history of hui
manity concerned the treatment of wo-
men:
"And if we had before us its unwrit-
ten history, we should find this part
still sadder. l say sadder, because,
though there have been many things
most conspicuously dreadful-cannibal-
ism, the torturing of prisoners, the
sacrificing of victims to ghosts and
gods-these have been but occasional; !;
whereas the brutal treatment of women
has been universal and constant. The
amount OF suffering which has been
and is borne by women it utterly be-
YOnd imagination"
All over the civilized world there
seems to be movement in favor of wo-
men. 1t is an obvious sign of progress,
and the gradual and universal emanci-
patton of women during the beginning
of the Goth century will no doubt not
be overlooked by the historians of the
future.
But the progress is extremely slow.
Take Japan, for instance Here we
have country which not very long ago
| was, like most eastern nations, follow
ing the old present which says: "Wo-
men must obey her father when she is
a child, her husband when she is mar
ried, her son when she is a widow. "
One of the greatest philosophers of the
past has even declared that swoman
has no SOUL"
Not so very long ago, as a sign of the
| progress of civilization, law was pass
ed allowing the wife, as well as the
husband, to ask for divorce, but even
when the husband was the offended he
was granted the custody of the chill
dren. Even today love marriages are
the exception in the Land of the Rising
Sun. The woman is still treated as an
inferior kind of being and very little
respected by men.
However, there have been changes of
late in the treatment of japanese wo-
men. Thanks to the example of Eu-
ropean residents, they are becoming
more respected; they exchange visits
and are allowed to speak even in the
presence of their husbands and broth

important than proper food is proper
clothing. In their fear that their ba-
bies may catch cold, some mothers keep
them covered during the hottest days
with enough clothing to kill them.
Regulate the child's clothing entirely
by the weather; reduce it to mini
mum during the hot hours of midday,
and increase it with any fall in the
temperature. A slight change in the
weather is felt very quickly by a young
child, and should therefore be guarded
against.
Another important point for the
summer is to regulate the airing and
recreation of the baby. 1t is great
mistake to send the child off to park
for the whole morning, under the care
of nurse who will probably leave the
little one with the light streaming in
its eyes, while she talks with her beau.
Be careful in your selection of a nurse,
and instruct her to the letter in what
she must do and what she must not do.
Above everything else, do not be too
independent about doctoring the baby.
If the baby develops diarrhea, or be-
gins to show any signs of fever or phys
ical discomfort, send for the doctor. In
case the doctor cannot be procured on
short notice, cut off all food and give
the baby teaspoonful of castor oil. A
good purge will frequently ward off
intestinal troubles, but it should never
be given child Immediately before or
soon after being fed.
The key note to the whole matter is
common sense. Watch the baby close
ly, administer to its changing wants
and do not hesitate to call in doctor
if you become alarmed about the child.

WAYNESBORO AND BASIC MAY MERGE.
The Waynesboro correspondent Of
the Washington Herald says: ''There
is strong movement on foot among
the business men and citizens of Way
nesboro and Basic looking to the con-
solidation of these two town, and there
is reason to belive that this consolida-
ton will be accomplished before the
end of the year. The excellent trans
portation facilities of the two towns,
the unlimited supply of pure spring
water, its mild, dry climate, coupled
with the low cost of living and it's
healthy conditions, are attracting in
vestors and homeseekers from other
parts of Virginia, as well as from other
States, and there is steady demand
for properties and investments of all
in both places" ("

TOO MISCHIEVOUS FOR PET
French Authors Good Reason for Re-
placing Monkey with the
Harmless Puss.

A Faris contemporary dealing with
the love of great men for animals
gives an amusing account of Chateau.

engaged in preparing Fontanes' works
Tor the press, on returning one day
he was met by his monkey.
All. you rogue" said Chateaubriand.
your shamefaced look tells of mis-.
chief" The monkey was chained I'D.
but as things did not appear much
disturbed, Chateaubriand thought no
more OF the matter until 1t was time
to resume work. Fontanes' manu-.
scripts were not to be found.
At last Chateaubriand looked into
the waste basket and there were the
manuscripts. The monkey had watched
his master, and as he had seen him
fold a sheet Of paper and tear it into
four, SO he had dealt with Fontanes'
writings. With much labor they were
pieced together and afterward pub.
lished.
Chateaubriand thought it advisable
to see what else the monkey had done.
His orders had disappeared from a
drawer which was always kept closed.
The servants searched everywhere for
them, but they were not to be found
Nearly week elapsed before they
were traced, and then a domestic no
tived that the Monkey had suspended
them to the cornice in a quasi sys-
tematical way.
The monkey was given his congo
and Chateaubrsiand replaced him BY

his masters writing table, and great
was the pleasure which he derived
in playing with puss.
