WOULD GO INTO THE WORLD Leader Believes Women Should Cease to Be “Household Drudges” and Gives Her Reasons. Mrs. Charlotte Perkins Gilman, ‘speaking in New York to an audience composed chiefly of women, compared the lives of some American mothers to the harem lives of the East. “Women,” Mrs. Gilman declared, “should go. into the wérld and do lu- crative and interesting work instead of being household drudges. “One reason for this is that the middle-aged woman, like the middle- aged man, when occupied in business or intellectual work, has little time to brood over departing youth. “You know we women become very sour ‘as we grow old. But, when we all work, perhaps the ungallant com- parison that a cynical bachelor once made to me will lose some of its truth- fulness. Here is the comparison: “ ‘Ladies, in their childhood, resem- ble water. As girls of twelve to fif- teen, they’re like lemonade; as young persons from eighteen to twenty-five, champagne; as women of twenty-five to forty, liqueur. A woman from for- ty to fifty years of age is equal to, home-made port wine. After, fifty, most ladies turn to vinegar.” : Russian Crown and Scepter. One of the most impressive and in- teresting of the crown treasures of the house of Romanoff is the crown itself. It was made for the Empress Cath- erine II, when she was about to be crowned in 1762, and was the work of 8 jeweler of Geneva. This crown is in two divisions, rep- resenting the empires of the East and the West. It follows in form a Byzan- tine model, and is valued at more than a million dollars. That sum represents its intrinsic value, for no sum would purchase it. In the center of it, be- tween the two “empires,” is a splendid. pear-shaped ruby, to which are fixed five great diamonds in the form of a Cross. Still more valuable intrinsically, than the crown is the scepter. The Czar Paul had it made for his corona-i tion in 1797. Its chief value is due to the fact that it is ornamented by one of the greatest diamonds in the world, the one which is sometimes called the “Orloff” and sometimes the “Lazareff.” Whip Behind! A good story of Sir Francis Bertie is told by a French diplomatist, who set out to pay a call at the British em- As he drove up to the door he was horrified to see Sir Francis running down the street as hard as he could go, shouting and frantically waving an umbrella. : Fearing that there had been an an- archist outrage or something equally dreadful, the diplomatist prepared to join in the chase; but the explanation simple and not at all murderous. Lady Bertie had just set out for a drive. After she left, Sir Francis had, noticed one or two ‘street arabs”, clinging to the back of the carriage and had promptly started off in pur suit with the idea of dislodging them from their dangerous position. 5 ei 4a bassy in Paris. . of Sir Francis’ excitement was quite | in Europe just emphasizes again how fortunate we Ameri- Seat of cans are.

Our instinct to kill insects at sight is perfectly sound, writes Dr. Woods Hutchinson. Out of the quarter of a8 million species now known to science, a mere handful are even remotely helpful to man, and most of these only by their power of living upon other and more dangerous insects. On the other hand, thousands of species are actively hostile to man, his food plants and to his domestic animals. Whole tribes have been swept out of existence by the attack of insects car- rying bacilli—as within the last two decades in Central Africa by the dread “sleeping sickness,” carried by the tsetse fly. Whole nations have been weakened and crippled and whole civ- flizations retarded by another insect- borne disease—malaria. Indeed, re- “4 cent investigators have advanced the theory that the historic decline in both Greece and Rome was largely due to the ravages of this disease, brought into Europe by armies returning from wars in Asia and Africa. It may yet come when we see things in their true perspective that the warriors of civ- ilized nations will turn from slaugh- tering one another to battling against our insect enemies. Turn every bat- tery of artillery in the world against that angel of the pestilence, the com- mon house fly, and in ten years he would be exterminated root and branch. With him would go half of our 50,000 deaths in the United States every year from the summer diseases of children, two-thirds of our dysen- teries and cholera morbus and one- fourth of our typhoid, with not a lit- tle of our tuberculosis, our tetanus and our boils and blood poisonings.
