There Is no denying the fact that those
worthy women who have banded to-
gether TO secure the same political rights
for their sex which the men enjoy are
accomplishing a great deal for the bet
terment OF the physical, social, and
moral condition and status OF woman
They have secured laws affording more
ample protection to women factory
workers; 1t is due to their eXertions TO
great extent that women workers are
paid better wages now than before, and
It should also be said that they have in
cessanuy worked 20 improve the legal
status OF the married woman with re-
gard to her property rights.
SO far as their claim TO political equal
ity with their stronger brothers is con-
cerned. however, there seems TO prevail
quite a difference OF opinion even among
their own fair sex. There are those who
contend that womans influence on the
formation OF a nations character is by
far greater than that Of man; that the
boy child who in later years becomes
the lawmaker of his country. receives
his first impressions OF life and his first
wrong at the knees of his mother at
home. The great majority Of women
argue that for this reason II Is really
the mother who makes or unmakes a
nation. and that therefore her influence
in the life OF a nation is infinitely more
important than that OF man.
There are many leaders in thought and
rulers Of nations. scientists, and law
makers who have placed themselves on
record with regard to the woman suffrage
movement. Pope Plus Y entertains de-
cided views in the matter. He draws the
line on women politicians. Women have
no political ability, and wherever they
have entered that field they have made
themselves a general nuisance" his holi-
ness said to Fraeulein Thiemer. a leader
of the feminist movement in Austria.
81 do not want to disparage the ability
Of women" he continued, and women
should rather consider my words as
praise. when I say that they lack the

whenever 1t does not conflict with Chris
tian morals. I see no reason why any
restriction should be put upon the studies
pursued by women. Apart from theology,
I think women should study everything.
Lawyers and doctors I think il quite
proper for women TO be. especially doc
tors. No one can minister TO a sick
child or woman as her own sex. l also
believe in woman teachers. 1t is right
that the education OF a child should be
intrusted TO a woman. Are not women
through their influence upon children. the
instructors OF humanity"
The Pope expressed frank disapproval
OF the woman politician and the female
orator. "Oh no. I do not approve OF
women deputies at all. Men make a bad
enough job Of politics. as it is. without
permitting women to step in and make
matters worse"

Prof Gustav Retzius says the result
Of an anthropological investigation car
ried out in Sweden does not leave any
doubt possible as 10 the Swedish nation

tons. unless the inhabitants OF Norway
and Denmark might compete with the
swedes for that distinction.
From the inquiry the conclusion may be
drawn that Sweden was inhabited by the

(Germanic or Teutonic) race branch to
be found remaining in our time.
This result has served as a support for

Gently by the transference Of the imperial
shrines at Ise TO their new tabernacles
just completed This remarkable Shinto
festival may be witnessed only every
twenty-one years, when the temples OF
the ancestral gods are reconstructed and
the sacred objects removed TO their new
abode. The Ise temples have been thus
renewed every score OF years since A. D.
500 at least, and for how long before that
no one knows, the present occasion being
the ffty-seventh rebuilding on record.
Such periodic reconstruction will ap-
pear quite necessary when It IS recol-
lected that on these shrines no mortal
hand is ever permitted 20 execute re-
pairs. After they are built the gods of
the nation take possession Of them. and
thenceforward they are not touched till
they go the way of all things. At all
times Ise is the mecca of the Japanese
patriot, but on so notable an occasion as
this thousands flock from all parts Of the
empire.
The work Of rebuilding the sacred
shrines begins almost as soon as the last
reconstruction is complete by the ap-
pointment OF an imperial commission in
