Mex An Intelligent farmer of
Des Moincs county has invented n
hcnophone, modelled on the principle
of the telephone, by which one old
hen occupying central office in the
henery sits OH all the nests about the
establishment, leaving other fowls
free TO lay eggs, and cackIe. AS
soon as new nest contains the full
complement of eggs, it is connected
with the central office by u copper
wire, and the business is settled. The
onl V trouble with the machine is that
it sits so hard it matches out the por-
celain nest eggs with the others, So
that one chick in every nest is born
with glass eyes, and the farmer has
to buy a,d train. n dog to lead it
around. This makes it exponsivc.-

Much has been said, and much un-
WII1ihgiy, that proves the effects Of
Woman Suffrage where it exists to be
oeneheial and elevating in its tendency.
The following, though evidently not
intended for proof of this character. is
proof nevertheless. It is from corrs-
spondenee Of a Rochester newspaper. and
the reader will remember that Woman
Suffrage has prevailed in the place de-
scribed about eight years:
Inasmuch as the most interesting
feature of Western town is its social
character, it may be we'll to remark
that Cheyenne has long enjoyed the en-
viable and eloquent sObriquet Of "Hell
on Wheels There is no mistaking
the meaning conveyed in this name.
There is none Of the playfulness gener-
ally characteriZing title of affection or
endearment. 1t is, Of course, a nick
name given because cold Nici-' him
self held court there for several years.
II is not intended to convey sarcasm by
contrast. It is intended for fact. Al
though the JuggeTnaut car of deviltry,
which created for the place so fearful
an appellatiOn, has not rolled far TO the
West, and is keeping shorthand record
ing angels busy in the mining towns of
Utah aud Nevada, yet the track it left
is by no means entirely OvergrOwn or
hidden by the grateful verdure Of peace
and order. Cheyenne has done much
TO redeem itself, and to-day it is not
only pleasant and safe, but in many re-
spects desirable as a place Of abode.
The old crowd of rOughs that once rem
dered the town obnoxious to decent
people have passed away, some to other
fields Of dissipation and crime, and
many Of them are lying peacefully and
quietly with their boots on, in a little
field out on the plain, not a short dis
tance from the city. The old dance
houses and variety theaters, where the
trouble began at the opening of the
doors at four o'clock in the afternoon,
aud kept up all night; where acts of real
tragedies were inteTspersed between the
comedies, aud where revolver shots
constituted the metrOnOmic time, beat
ing for the music; where fortunes were
made or lost by the turn of a card or
the count of a dice as cOOlly as marbles;
where female purity was never thought
Of, and human life was cheaper than q
blow; where the biggest thief was the
most admired, aud the biggest bully the
most respected-all these and cOncOm-
liant evils have passed away, leaving
in comparison but very feeble imita-
tions Of their vice-breeding haunts
The places that once knew nothing of
the Sabbath day and its hallowed infiu-
euces now rejoice in the existence Of
organized and successful church sOci-
cites. The MethOdists, Presbyterians,
Catholics, Episcopalians and Congrega-
tiOnalists, all have good, cOmmOdiOus
buildings and schools The public
schools are also well conducted and well
attended. All this has been effected
within six years, and the good work
goes steadily on.

How Women shoald Be Eduoated.

Miss Jennie Y. Stanton is lecturing
in the East on subjects connected with
the intellectual advancement of women.
The New York papers speak in high
terms of her lectures, and from the fol-
lowing extract from one of them, enti-
tied "How Shall Women be Educated"
we judge she is well deserving of all the
praise she is receiving:
Mothers, educate your daughters in
every science that can be utilized to their
benefit. Fathers, let the capabilities of
your children and not theirsex influence
your partiality in bestowiDg upon them
educational advantages.
Never mind if some esteemed friend,
or lover, is afraid Of a girl "making a
man OF herself" An educated woman
knows that can never be done! A we'll
educated woman, who is in normal con-
dition, always wins in the race of life for
health, wealth, excellence or distinction.
Never mind if even the majority Of men
superciiOusly remind us of our f'sphereU
or discourse to us of Gods purpose in
creating as 1.-THE glory Of motherhood"
etc. No man can ever know half so
much about ''the glory of motherhoodi'
as even the weakest and most ignorant of
mothers.
In my eagerness and anxiety to have
I the large majority of women who are so
situated As to be mostly inaccessi BILE to
culture, who have much poverty and
prejudice to overcome, l do not forget
/ that they need special inspiration to en-
deavOr in the way of proper OmpanfOn-
| ship and proper books, and my heart goes
out to them with a great love and care.
/ In conclusion, man represents power,
woman represents the affections. Man
provides for woman, woman cares for
that provision. Man dispenses literally,
woman economies and utiliZes the
means entrusted to her keeping. Man is
more efficient for progress, but woman
for elevation. Man may lay q broader
scientific basis, but woman will build up
higher toward Heaven.
IL is impossible that society should
ever attain to higher moral condition
without the higher culture of woman.
Society is to be elevated by the omnip-
Otent pOwerof moral education, of which
woman may be the principal channel.
It is useless to talk about the equality
Of the sexes, for they are not and never
can be equal.
Man is the superior of woman in foree
and science, but woman is superior Ia
man in that without which force and
science are worthless, the moral nature
which bestows happiness here and lead.
to infinitely higher happiness here
after.
l will not omit to thank the noble
men who protect the noble women. no
forget to thank the noble women who
in spite Of all hinderanees, in spite o
defamation, and in the very face Of mar
. tyrdom, are struggling to elevate thei
/ sex, and are urging them to keep pace
! with advancing civilization.
