Tarpeia , covetous of the gold bracelets
worn by the Sabine soldiers , had told
them she would open the gates of the
citadel to them if they would give her
what they wore upon their left arms.
"Sure J" joyously answered the soldiers.
"All rights reserved ! "
It was not until they had rewarded her
treachery by overwhelming her with their

TinCrrat American "Woman.
A French literary woman and so
ciologist studying the big cities of
America ( ells us thai our civilization
will be the best the world has ever
seen , because of the influence of the
American woman on our educational
system and our club life.
It is always pleasant to hear nice
thiuirs about one's own. and the Ameri
can man is more easily and surely Ilat-
tered by praise of his wife and daugh
ters than by any other method. Of
course , we know that the American
woman is the finest of her sex. but
It is not every day thai her European
sister will admit it.
The European man has always
known her superiority , and the num
ber of American wives in European
homes is proof of his good judgment.
On the other hand , it is an encourag
ing sign of growing appreciation of
the American man that a real , titled
aristocrat from the old world has
found the man of her heart in Balti
more.
Who knows but one of these days
we shall have princesses and duchesses
and ail that sort of thing in our best
society , keeping up the drawing room
while the plain American husband produces -
duces the shekels to do the keeping ?
u A vast amount of American money has
gone to Europe with American brides.
and J it is no more than fair that a
foreign J title or two should come to
this country ( o even up.
Earls and dukes bolster up their
family fortunes with American whvs
and money , so why shouldn't Kuropean
ladies of title take husbands from our
great American nobility to maintain
them in dignity suitable to their rank ?
Odd Occupations of "Women.
Mrs. Mary A. I.amont is a railroad
switchwonmn on the Boston and AI
bany. and receives all the railroad tele
grams at h/H- station besides doing tin
switching.
Mrs. Hughes is the "master of the
hounds" at Ncuaddfawr , Wales , and
Is ; such nn expert rider that she swiim
her : lior.se across stream while other *
following the hounds think it more expedient
fr
pedient to go around by the bridge.
Miss Edith Somerville. of West Car-
bery , in Ireland , is master of fox
hounds.
Mrs. Donald C. Monroe is the only
woman in the United States who is a
professional cartoonist , being known in
New York by her maiden name ol
Laura K. Foster.
l > r. S. Josephine Baker , of the Health
Department of Now York City , and Dr.
Annie Williams , of the Bacteriological
Department , are both experts.
"Who Stiiiports the
l\ev. Anna Howard Shaw and Mrs.
Ch.irlotte Perkins Oilman had a debate
the other day in New York , the ques
tion being. ' 'Do husbands support their
wives ? " Rev. Anna Shaw said that
they do not , but that in this semi
civilized country in thirty-eight of the
Slates tiic title to the children rests ,
not in the mother , but in the father.
Women cannot legally possess their
own children nor own their clothes.
The more work a woman docs th- ' less
her husband gives her. Mrs. ( Jilman
said : that if a stenographer earning
23 a week married an invalid and he
stayed home and did the work while sc
she m.idc the money , people would say scdi
she ' supported him. and logically the ai
wife doing the same thing was sup tli
ports , ! . The audience , however , votnd
favor of the proposition of Dr. j
Shaw.

Red Hair and Consumption.
A German physician declares that
red-haired persons are more suscepti
ble to consumption than dark-haired
people. Some other types , like Scandi
navians , who , as a rule , are blonde ,
when transplanted from the healthy
agricultural sections of their native
country to the congested districts of
large cities , offer less resistance to con
sumption than do native born citizens.
Many blondes , however , have remark
able powers of resistance against con
sumption , while many brunettes offer
relatively little resisting power. This ,
he says , is due to racial susceptibility
and change In environment.
Educating ; tiie Men.
In the United States , where women '
are probably freer than in anj * other
part of the world , the divorce records
show that they are the accusers in
'
three-fourths of the suits filed. This .
means , of course , that women are de- | '
mandlng a higher standard of living
and that they will recognize only one
standard of morality for both sexes.
Men may rebel , but they will have to
come to it finally if they hope to live
happy ever after.

1 CONGRESS TO AID FARMERS.
forty-six Nations and Colonies Meet
at Some to Improve Conditions.
Forty-six powers of the old and new
world recently ended at Rome , Italy ,
the first session of the International
Institute of Agriculture ,
j The King of Italy built the palace
; for the institute , and endowed it with
j an income derived from the rents of
one of his private estates , and within
its walls from time to time in the fu
ture the nations of the world will
gather to exchange thought , statistics
and inventions for their mutual benefit.
While the good aimed at is the good of
all the people of all the countries ,
those who till the soil will be the ear
liest beneficiaries. To aid them in har
vesting larger crops , to help them to
wider markets , to guard them from the
evil effects of the speculative ex
change , where prices are manipulated
without regard to the man whose
sweat has been spent on the soil , will
j be a few of the objects sought by the
1 institute. The fact that forty-six governments -
; ernments have put their shoulders to
I the wheel of the project promises well
for its success.
The first the world knew of the
\\ork was when it was learned that
King Victor Emmanuel had become an
enthusiast on agriculture and hud
written a letter to his cousin. Giovanni
( Jiolitti , president of the Council of
Ministers at Rome , outlining the project -
ject of the institute. In consequence of
the King's letter an invitation was sent
out to the principal governments of the
world asking them to send representa
tives to a preliminary meeting in Rome
during May and June. lf.'U."i.
At the preliminary conference the
scheme of the work was divided into
three branches , or bureaus. The first
was to be that in control of the cler
ical and financial details : the second !
to have charge of the general statistics
and agricultural information , ami the
third of information relating to eco
nomic and social institutions. Tiider
the last named are included the sub
jects of wages of farm labor and in
formation concerning the agencies of
co-operation , insurance and agricul
tural credit. The second bureau , how
ever , is by far the most important in
its scope , as it has charge of the chief
subjects for which the institute was
organized agricultural statistics , in
cluding everything connected with an
imal and vegetable production and dis
tribution , prices and wages , and the
diseases and pests of plants and their
remedies.
The expenses of the institute , except
its home , which was given by the King
of Italy , are borne by the various coun
tries represented , the amount of as
sessment being pro rated according to
the number of votes each Jiovernment
has in the conventions. The countries j
are divided into five classes , those of j
the first class , of which the United
States is one , being entitled to five
votes. Nearly all the other kingdoms ,
republics , principalities and colonies of
the civilized world are in the fourth
and fifth categories , with one or two
votes apiece.

The "Weather House.
A very ingenious contrivance foi
foretelling the weather is the old fash
ioned "weather house , " largely mad
In Switzerland. It is arranged in sucl
a way that two figures act in response
to the twisting of a piece of catgut
The material , supported by a wire , con
trols the movements of a little plat
form , on either end of which is placed
a model. Excessive moisture in the ai )
causes the catgut to twist and turn th
platform round , so that the inai
emerges from one of the doors in th
front of the house. Reverse eomlitiom
of the atmosphere bring about the con
traction of the < titgsit. and the plat
form swings back , thus bringing tin
figure of the woman into prominency
at her particular door. The making o ?
