Half q Million Women Vote,

The question of lay delegates being
sont to the Goneral Conference of the
Methodist Church North, is being now
voted upon. 1t is Qua that concerns
Methodists moro particularly in every
other aspect but ono, and that one il
the fact, that over half q million of
women have voted upon it. Woman
suffrage is now fact.
The Methodists are tho largest and
most hourishing Of the Protestant do.
nominations in this country. The
right to vote in Church matters being
conceded, tho next step is very natur-
al, that their women shall vote on po.
litical issues also. Indeed, how can
it be denied If political rights be
moral rights, whero is there any dis
tinction Of sex in morals ? Radical,
ism may be true, but it cannot stop
short of female suffrage and be con-
sistent. It is not, then, surprising
that in the worry stronghold of radical
ism, tho Northern Methodist Church
4 aelc suffrage should first become an
q 'ishcd fact.

The Triumph of Democracy.

Let any one compare tho condition
Of the States of Europe now, with
their condition hut twenty years ago,
and be cannot fail to see that the
great mass of the people exercise far
greater power upon their rulers and
tho character of their government now
than formerly. There is John Bright
in the Cabinet of England, and his be,
ing there speaks volumes. Spain has
managed to do very we'll without a
king for very long time, and proba-
bly, will conclude to do without ono
altogether. In Austria and Hungary
such reforms are being mado, and
such privileges extended to the poo.
r pie, that Kossuth can hold Office, and
tho people arc enthusiastic in their
loyalty and altogether content. The
iato election in france gives notice to
: Napoleon, to convert his Empire into
a constitutional kingdom, with FREQ
parliament and responsible public
ministers. o. to abandon the long
cherished hopc Of founding line of
princes. Everywhere tho lcavcn of
Democracy is at work, and is appa.
rently conquoring, and to conquer.
With the great RADICAL IDEA, the
equal rights Of all men, wo have al
ways been in full accord. We be.
lieve ourselves an extreme Radical
upon it. We out-hcrod Herod. We
believe we understand it, and .thpt it

PROMOTERS OF VAPORIZATIoN.-When
water is boiling in a glass vessel 1t may be
seen that the bubbles of vapor seem 10
start from but a few points /; sometimes,
indeed, from only one spot when close
inspection will reveal a minute speck adj
herring to the glass, or a small projection
from it. Mr.. e. Tomlinson, in a commu-
n%ication to the Royal Society, regards a
LIQUID at or near its boiling point as a
supersaturated solution of its own vapor /;
and Just as in supersaturated saline solu-
tons. the introduction of a solid nucleus
starts Capitalization, so in this case the
particle referred to serves to start ebulli-
ton. As a practical application, Mr.,
Tomlinson suggests that a bushel of char
coal or coke be introduced in steam boilers
as a /" promoter Of vaporization," and
gives the results Of some experiments he
tried. The water was boiled alone in a
flask 995 grains boiled away, but on the
addition Of some coke l,130 grains evap-
GRATED in the same time. With wood
charcoal the amount evaporated was in
creased Just o%ne-quarter. An incidental
advantage from the use ofthese substances
is, that boiler incrustations will be, to a
great degree, prevented.

DIsISFECTANrs.- As the hot season has
again arrived it may be well to suggest to
everybody the necessity of keeping every
thing as clean as possible and free from all
decompOsing matter, about the premises.
Health demands this. Much of the disease
Of the summer months is due to carelessness,
no doubt. Nothing tends more to promote
the health of a family than a pure atmos-
phere, and that can only be secured by good
ventilation, and by keeping the premises
from unpleasant and unhealthy Odors- In
sick chambers, cellars, sinks, out-houses'
stables, ETC., odors at times to
such an extent as TO call for the use of dis
infectants. Coffee roasted in a room a So
luton of copperas sprinkled about, or cloths
wet in it and hung up; choloride OF lime
moistened each acts quickly as a disinfec-
tant. Chloride of lime is one of the best,
and where a considerable quantity is needed,
a cheap homemade article can be manufac-
tured, that will answer all practical purposes
as well as that procured of the druggist, and
be immensely cheaper. 1t may be prepared
as follows
Dissolve common salt in water until the
water is fully saturated, or will take up no
more salt then slack lime with the salt water
putting on sufficient Of the water to make a
thick paste. A little salt water should be
added daily for several days till the whole
mass is thoroughly permeated by it, and af-
terward occasionally to keep it moist 1t
may be used wherever offensive Odors are
generated, with the fullest confidence that it
will effectually purify the air. 1t is much
better to scatter chloride of lime around an
offensive locality, since it takes up the %eiIluyia
rather than quicklime, which drives it of
into the air for everyh dy to breathe.
A convenient method of cleaning a tub
eask o. ~-, 80 - Fi-r- ff-He m II, and then
slack it with salt water, beinz careful 10 keeT
the vessel covered to keep the steam in. Too
much water should not be put on 50 as to
drown the lime entirely, and then the vessel
should be allowed to remain SOM time TO
absorb any disagreeablc odors that may be
about it.
