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

ACTIVELY HOSTILE TO MAN
8clentist Points Out Why Instinct to
Kill Insects Has Root in Self-
Preservation.
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.
