1t forces upon us the consideration Of how We
may best make proper provision Of artificial
caloric. AS women are still among the "outs'
in tho game of elective franchisc,-rlde Mrs.
Stanton, they are as certainly among the sins :"
in their position as freeholders or tenants !;
therefore, to the genuer sex particularly does
the question Of how their dwellings shall be
warmed become one Of vital Importance. While
awaiting political equality With the man and
brother Of African persuasion, they might find
time 10 discuss few home questions. As they
must still vote by proxy, through the politi-
cal prejudice they may be able to instll
into the minds Of the rising generation,
the atmosphere in which this educational occu-
patton is carried on is matter to be gravey con-
eldered, inasmuch as uponits purity may depend
the clearness of their ideas and incu1cations.
This leads us to the consideration Of the differ
ene methods OF heating OUT houses, and, moro
particularly, that which We consider the best.
