TH Women from countries that remain- ed neutral and from those that took opposite sides in the late war will as- semble in the first meeting since 1914 at the Quinquennial congress of the International Council of Women, at Cirisgiang, Norway, September 8 to Tth. The object of the congress is to pro- vide 2a means of communication be- tween women’s organizations in all countries on questions relating to the welfare of the Commonwealth, the family and the individual. Some 400 women, including several Americans, have enrolled to attend. Discussions will be held on such subjects as new lines in the system of education. International aspects of public health, the housing problem, the campaign against social diseases, and the League of Nations. Delegates will be received in the Royal Palace by Queen Maude of Nor- way, the city of Christiana will ten- der a luncheon and they will be enter- tained by various civic societies. The meetings of the councils are to be held in the Norwegian Parliament building. The Shrewdest of Buffaloes. The tame buffalo of India is’ said to be unusually intelligent, notwith- standing its rough and stupid-appear- ing exterior. An American who has made the passage up the Brahampu- tra river, relates an instance of calcu- lation on the part of these animals such as must have been amusing to witness. While this American and his party wee awaiting the arrival of a steam- er coming down the river, they be- | came interested in the behavior of a | herd of buffaloes belonging to a | neighboring village. It was observed | that each morning, about six o’clock, tie whole herd swam across the river from the opposite side, the bull con- | siderably in advance leading the way, | followed by the cows with their calves | by their sides. | They entered the water about half | a mile up the stream on the opposite bank, and the strong current washed them down to the village where they! desired fo land. This was as judicious | = a calculation of the distance and pow- er of the current as could have been made by any creature, including man. " Now the river at this point was: very broad, but as there was better feeding-ground on the other bank, the animals preferred the swim. After they had reached the bank safely there was a halt for a few minutes to rest and recover breath.—Edwin Tar- risse. ——If you have done something that is good, forget it—and do some- thing better.—Lavater.
