----- , PROGRESS OF FRENCH WOMEN If Moliere Lived Now He Would Not Ridicule Their Education and Activities. years ago there were three coUeges for women In France and one preparatory school; now there are sev-enty-live colleges and forty-nine preparatory schools. What does the change mean? Moliere, over two centuries ago, in “Les Precieuses Ridi- ! cules” and “Les Femmes Savantes,*' j attacked the pose, self-consciousness [ and loss of proportion which the woI men of his time sometimes showed in ; attempting to be learned Moliere I laughed, however, not at education, ; but at lack of common sense. If he i lived now he would not try to set back i the clock, and ask women to devote ; to the needle the same attention that ' she gave before machinery was inj vented. lie would not übk her to live [ as she lived before there were public i school’ for her children; creameries « to make her butter and cheese; big , j manufacturers to take her place in J preserving food; immense combina ► tions to spin cotton make cloth, do, ; the dyeing, make up the clothing. He ; would welcome the vacuum cleaner j J the gas stove and the dumb waiter. 1 and his laughter would be not foi ; those who use modern labor saving t deyices, but for the futile sentimen- ; talists w 7 ho cry for the vanishing ol [ the past. The outside education and » activities of women are as unquestion 1 able and irresistible as are the print v ing press, the steam engine and the j cotton gin.—Collier’s Weekly. I FINE BLADES OF DAMASCUS j; Swords Made In the Oriental Cit> C Were Most Wonderfully Temp--5 ered and Adorned. t Fancy frills and ornamentation were ; not thought of in the hurried forging ( vs weapons called into need bv the ; breaking out of the Civil War. How ’ plain the usual cavalry sabre was, sot * instance, is well shown by comparison 5 with the lavishly ornamented weapons j turned out by the oriental sword [ j makers. The Turkish sword is a beau i tiful piece of work, the blade, “dam ; ascened” with inlaid wires of gold, be J ing of astonishing elasticity. Each f quarter inch of surface of the gill ; scabbard, handle and hilt is crowded ; with engraved designs. ; From the city of Damascus, celo brated for more than a thousand yean v for the skill of its swordmakers, the i Crusaders took to Europe the art ol t "damascening’’—a tissue of dark lines [ on a light ground, or the reverse —anc ; the inlaying of gold on the steel itself |j In the genuine Damascus blade of the I best period the figure, that is, the in ! tricate twists made in the steel while 1 hot under the hammer of the sword [ smith, is nos, as some think, a mattei : of surface. It extends through th. j blade, and hence is not removed by a ; thousand polishings. These beautiful : fieures on the genuine blades are al J most identical with the best so-called ; Damascus gun barrels of today. j Volapuk. ; A few years ago Volapuk was the J order of the day, and we are only re : minded of its erstwhile fame by read j ing an account in a Paris contempo *, rary of the death of its founder. He : was an ecclesiastic named Schleyer ; and his method was to constitute a ! universal language by borrowing ; freely from the Roman And Germas I tongues. The proposal received a ' great deal of attention from serious i writers, and it goes without saying 1 that it came in for a lot of ridicule [ The effort might, have succeeded had j I it not been for Esperanto The old ' wriest watched the rise and decline oi 1 ■ his proposal, and he lived to see its j fall. The thought that must suggest Itself to all who give the matter con j slderafion is: Whv should there be I inew language? Why not teach boys to write Latin as a universal lan guage? An effort in this direction Is being made in Germany. ’ Peruvian Petroleum. Efforts arc being made to develo] more extensively the petroleum re 1 sources of Peru. The known depositi of oil occur in a very narrow strip o land between the foothill* of the Andei : and the shore of the Pacific, and mucl , (of this is flooded at high tide. Pile , of railroad iron driven in the pur* ocean sand, which varies in dept) trom five to fifty feet, arc used a. I foundations for the derricks. The shal lowest of the driven wells is 1,760 fee in depth. There is very little gas, am the oil is very heavy, so that it ca) be put into buckets with shovels, am it is carried direct to the turnaces ti servo as fuel- Scientific Ariverlcan.

THIS HAPPENED IN MISSOURI I Editor Mixed a Wedding Announce i ment and the Advertisement of an < Auction Sale. : 1 j A Missouri editor who was brimful . of hard cider got a wedding account and a sale mixed, and served to his 1 readers this dope: William Smith, the only son of Mr, 1 and Mrs. Josiah Smith, was disposed , at auction to Lucy Anderson on my . farm, one mile east of here in the . presence of 70 guests, including the , following, to-wit: Two mules, 12 head [ of cattle, The Rev. Jackson tied the nuptial, the least weighing 1,250 pounds on the hoof. The beautiful ; home of the bride was tastefully decorated with a seewash calf, a spade, a sulky rake, one feed grinder, one set double harness, almost new, and just before the ceremony was pronounced Mendelssohn's wedding march was played by one milch cow, five years; one Jersey cow, to be fresh next April, i carrying a bunch of flowers in het | hand and looking charming in a gown made of light spring wagon, two boxes of appies, two racks of hay, one grind- : stone, monseline deori trimmed with ! about ISO bushels of spuds. The groom { is well known and popular young ! man and has always stood well among society circles of 12 Berkshire hogs, while the bride is an accomplished and | talented school teacher of a splendid drove o£ Poland-China —pedigrees if desired. Among the beautiful presents were two sets of knives and forks, j one spring harrow, one wheelbarrow, | one go-cart, other articles too numer- | ous to mention. The bridal couple i left yesterday on an extended trip, term of 12 months time, extended to responsible parties, otherwise spot cash luncheon will be served at the table. After this Mr. and Mrs. Smith will go to housekeeping in a cozy home at the corner of Main and Doc- ‘ tor R. L. Granby, auctioneer. —Nation- : al Monthly. MUSIC LESSONS OFTEN LOST — Writer Thinks Children Should Hava Easier Tasks and Shorter Hours of Practice. The musical education of the child, we must remember, is, in nine cases out of ten, a plus quantity—something in addition to an already complete course of study laid out by that exacting and often heartless person known as the educator. It invades the play hour, makes it by no means small exactions upon the already tired brain, and often proves more destructive of the central gray matter and more wearing to the nerves than all the rest of the child’s curriculum put together. Think of the poor tortured little spine and the dangling legs on the high piano stool for an hour at a stretch! What a strain and worriment, to drop a note here and there, as grandma drops a stitch, and be obliged to go back again and again to struggle with the passage until time, fingering, reading and all the technique of execution are pronounced satisfactory! With less exacting music and shorter hours of practice, I have n() doubt that quite as much progress would he made by most children in the long run. Nothing is gained by exhausting nervous energy 7 and wearing out both brain and body. Unless a child has extraordinary aptitude and an inalienable love for music, “too much of a good thing,” will simply disgust him or her with the entire study. ! t Motor Maps. In countries like France, where . roads are good and cross roads numerous, travelers by automobile have | frequent occasion to consult road J I maps, because they go so fast and 1 j change direction so often that top - 1 ; graphical information is, for them, a ] I eontiuual necessity. 1 To meet this there has been invent- , j ed an automatic chart that unrolls in ( step with the advance of the carriage, so that the chauffeur has always be fore him a map i>f the route he is tc 1 pursue. When the road is about to < turn sharply an electric bell gives 1 warning 300 meters in advance. An s other attachment to the chart regis , ters the distance traversed. The s whole apparatus is moved by gearing connected with the wheels of the automobile. > Many Changes. 1 , “Yes, sir,” said 1 the oldest inhabt tant, “I’ve lived right here in Squash- | ville ninety-three years. Born here, 1 ;. a, sir. Been u lot of changes in my t time, I tell ye. Why, I can remembei \ when it was <■ untry where Hobson’s ( grocery stands now, and back of the harness shop where It's all built up ( now I’ve nicked cherries many and many a Lime. See the Methodist meetin’ house up yonder? I can remember ( when there was a big maple tree right in the middle of the spot where the buildin’ stands. Yes, there’s been a t lot of changes—yes-sir-rce. Squashville wa’n’t but a little bit of a town when I was a boy.” — Abie Is Ambitious. Tn one of the Philadelphia Eettle- j ments the chief -worker was telling the f urchins of the right of every American youngster to aspire to the presidency of the United States. Little Abie Eick- ( 2 stein didn’t take kindly to the suggestion. I “Why, Abie, you are not a bit ambitious,” said the worker. , “Oh, yes, teacher, but not to be pres- } ident,” the lad replied. “I’d just like ; to be secretary of the navy so that I could ride In the boats whenever I j wanted to.” j , I

SOME FACTS ABOUT THE HORSE. i A colt unbroken is worth little more than nothing; improperly broken, it is worth still less. It Is harder i to break a horse that nas been tampered with by unskilled hands than one never touched by the hand of man. Often it Is impossible to rid an individual of faults thrust upon it, when a youngster, by an educator who has not had the necessary experience. Many times horses have thus been spoiled for life. P. C. Masterson, the horse trainer and educator, is a man thoroughly experienced and equipped for this undertaking. Horses placed in his charge can be placed there with the fullest confidence that they will receive the careful and skillful attention, made possible by years of ’ experience. Now is the time to have colts broken. Don’t wait till warm weather, as you can now get them handled with more attention. Mtsterson is also a developer of speet., and has met with splendid success in this line. In fact, this is his main business, of which the breaking and educating of colts is a very important branch. Experience has | taught Masterson that horses trained for speed should be started early in j the year. When a horse goes a “good | corking mile” every muscle and fibre j in its make-up is put te the most | tense exertion. For this much powcj of lung and muscle is required. To get this power a 'good supply of systematic jogging is unavoidably necessary/ During the racing season many good prospects are turned out ou pasture because they were put to the test of their speed and endurance before thay had sufficient preparation. The horse should be built up in the I winter in order to develop speed iri the spring. Any attempt to get speed without muscle will be met by disaster. The subject best fitted for hard campaigining is the prospect well wintered. Masterson is well equipped for such wintering. Training barn at Steele's park. Address P. C. Masterson, Decatur, Ind.
