progress If every individual effort had
depended on mutual organization. There

belief that she could not cultivate one
or all OF these attributes, without first
joining a society

Rome, Aug. 1S.-The farm women's
club movement in the United States
has received the hearty Endorsement
OF the International Institute Of Agri-
culture in this city, as shown in tie
Bulletin Of Economic and Social Intel
ligence. from which the following is
quoted:
Besides the educative efforts made
on behalf of the rural female element
or the states in schools. colleges and
agricultural universities, supplemented
by the Ome farmers Institutes and
the work of great associations. espe-
c1ally of that Of the grange, in which
men and women have equal rights and
duties, the apparently humble work Of
the farm women's clubs is also very
important.
These unions form a remedy de-
rived directly from the needs felt by
the women Of the country districts
and can therefore reach where neither
the work of the government o that
of the great associations can pene-
trate.
THE farm women's clubs have as
Sumed various forms in the United
States. but their efforts are specially
directed to three principal Objects
viz. (a) the artificial creation anon
the women Of rural districts of those
social relations which, whether owing
to recent immigration or to the long
distances between the farmhouscs,
could not otherwise arise among them:
0) the variation Of the monotony Of
domestic occupations by some kind
Of recreation. the want Of which leads
many country women to prefer city
life: (c) the enrichment Of the minds
of the women by a reciprocal ex-
change Of useful information and
knowledge"
The article urges that the example
Of the American farm women be fol-
lowed by the farm women of other
countries.

Permits Selling Of Crespi Gallery.

Rome, Aug. IS. 49, In consideration
that Correggjo's "Nativity'' shall be
presented to the Brera gallery, in Mi
Ian. the Italian government has waived
the Iacca law, as far as the Crespi
gallery Of Milan is concerned, and per-
mits Signor Crespi to dispose Of it's
contents to purchasers abroad, provid-
ed further that any picture SO pur-
chased shall be held for a certain Pc
Rod to see whether the government
may not bid higher.
The Correggio, which thus becomes
a possession of the Milan gallery, is
valued at 100000 and is the very best
example OF the artists earlier manner.
