Women Will
Meet in ‘Norway Septem-
‘ber 8th. 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.
