Mr. Parkman's Objections.

Mr.. Parkman takes the ground in the
North american ReUieg that the ability
to fight should accompany the ballot.
He concludes, therefore, that women
are not entitled to the ballot. We must
dissent from Mr. Parkman's position,
both on his premise and on his eonclu-
sion.
In the first place, women can fight
His experience with the fair sex must
be extremely limited II he thinks the
combative spirit was left out Of their
composition. Nor do we allude simply
to such vulgar quaTrels the results Of
which are scratched faces and handfuls
OF false or genuine hair scattered about,
though the columns OF the press unfOr-
tunately record sometimes the occur
renee OF such engagements. But on
those more sanguinaTy battle-fields in
which death is awarded 90 many, and
dangerous wounds to more, women
either IN ordinary attire, or disguised in
the garments Of the stronger sex, have
often taken their part.
But 10 is conceding everything 10 Mr.
Parkman 10 admit the validity of bis
position that the ballot can be deposited
only by the hand that grasps the sword
or the musket. If this We're so, it would
follow that women could not vote, as
but few Of them would make Amazous
of themselves for the privilege The
trouble with Mr.. Parkman's argument
is that the general premise is unsound,
and hence the conclusion Will not stand.
il his position were admitted, then all
non-cOm batants would be az once dis
franchised. The aged, the sickly, the
manned, and all who on account Of ex-
ceptiOnal occupations are exempt from
military service, would at once be
ranked among the disqualified classes.
His argument carries him too far.
But perhaps he will say that if women
had the ballot, they would never con-
sent 10 a war, even when it was essential
to the preservation Of the nations life or
honor. On that position he would find
the facts against him. Gentle hearted
as the sex may be, the history of nearly
all wars proves that they are ready TO
approve a war when once their iudg-
meut is convinced or their sympathies
enlisted. The late struggle between
Germany and France has been called
the Empress Eugenie's war, because she
was so ardent in precipitatiug a conflict
which cost her crown and an empire.
During our own civil war the women on
both sides were among the most ardent
in urging friends to enlist and take to
the field, and, il accounts from the
South are To be relied upon, great
many of tine women ia that section have
not given up the struggle yet.
We agree with the New York Times,
which, in commenting upon this ques-
tion, says: "Mr Parkman evidently
has great deal TO learn about fighting
and about women. ."-ROchcste Herald

A New Cereal.

A writer in the Denver Tribune tells
Of new grain which he calls rice, or
Egyptian corn, which promises to be
valuable acquisition to our cereals.
Some one tried it on his ranch near
Kingsley, on the Atcbson, Topeka and
Santa Fe Railway, as follows:
"He had forty acres of sod turned over
last Spring, and having procured several
quarts of the seed, with an ordinary seed
planter he deposited two or three grains
foot or two apart in the sod There
had not been a drop of rain for the pre-
vious eight months, and il did not rain
for five weeks after the planting, yet the
seed germinated. The corn came up
and grew finely.
"After il got fairly started, the hot
blasts came up from the Plano EstacadO
(staked plains) burning up the grass
aud every green thing in the gardens,
scorchiBg like blasts from a furnace;
and yet it did not affect the newcomer
from Egypt a particle. 1t grew right
along in spite of the heat. Then rain
came on, and the sturdy 9Eaiu was
equally Indifferent to that b grew
right on, and Tipened about the first OF
September, yielding some 60 bushels to
the acre, weighing 60 pounds to the
Dushel. The stalk for about three feet
from the ground Is about as large as n
mans coat sleeve, and is perfect wood.
This in all the treeless region east of the
mountains Is a most important fact, as
an acre or two will furnish fuel for a
family for an entire year. From the
top of the woody substance issues a
stalk, on the top Of which tuft some
thing like that of sorghum issues; this
soon drops over, and the whole bunch is
one mass of grain. Tue kernel IS about
the size OF a grain of wheat, perhaps q
little smaller, and more nearly round.
Each one is enclosed in a shuck or in
dependent capsule.
''The grain can be ground into an eX-
cellent flour, from which bread and
other food can be made; it can be boiled
and eaten as rice and cracked wheat,
and, in fact, can be used for any purpose
for which our ordinary cereals are en-
ployed."

"AIl right, John; but, do you know,
. l never hear you speak that villains
name but I grow so angry can scarcely
breathe? III were you, I'd have noth-
/ ing more 10 do with him than If he were
a viper. Ouly think how he has tried
to ruin Tirzah's brother, my afiianced
. husband !"
"Women don't see these things as
men do, Lie. 4detest the hard-skulled

(Which means, in plain English,
that your friendship and cooperation

Sam Hardpau, hard head and villain
that he IS, has completed The purchase"
John Hardine turned very red in the
face. Lie was stating fact that he
could not gainsay. and yet, he had
never viewed it in that light before. It
is well, sometimes. for an individual to
see himself through the spectaeles Of
others. His sister continued:
"NIy conscience upbraids me for pre-
sYming TO intercede foryou with Tirzah
when think of your friendship with her
brothers. meanest enemy"
"The Hardpans, father and son, have
been no greater enemies to the Ingle-
tons than the Hardines have BEEN"
said John. "For my part, detest the
whole cursed business. I can't see by
what moral right my father has dis
possessed the Ingletons. But 20. We're
attracting too much attention standing
here. Win the old woman first. You
can DO 81 if you'll try. Tell her I want
to be "A son TO her in place Of him that's
gone. Tell her I'll be disinherited If !
marry her daughter, but that poverty
will make no difference to me. Tell
Tirzah," and his voice faltered here,
hat-pm-waiting- g-for-s-chance-
to-to-blame take it all I can't
court by proxy. Do your best and
you'll win"
Eliza left her brother aud bent her
footsteps toward the temporary shelter
Of the dispossessed Ingletons, picking
her way az best she could through the
ragged clearing and over the rapidly
melting snow and slush, her heart beat
ing audibly, aud her face ablsze with
confusion.

A Story for Good Little Boys.

Shall 7 tell you a story about Will
lam How your eyes brighten You
know that William is a good boy. You
think, "What new thing has this good
William done Pr I shall tell you.
Williams papa was very expert at
taw and drop. He scOOped in ever so
many mar bles. He always played
for keeps When he died he did not
take his marbles with him. He was a
fraid they would become damaged. If
YOU throw a marble into your dear
mam-ma's cook-stove you will under
stand. SO Williams papa gave them
all to William. But William had so
many marbles that he could bust
every boy that played with him. At
ter time no boy could be found who
would play with him at all. William
was very sad. He looked at his mar
bles and wept bitterly, because no 0oy
would play with him. he sald, HoW
am / 10 get more marbles no Iei-ler
will play with me.' Finally Cyrus
and Russell and a lot of other boys Of
I fsr-ad 10 90 snacks with William, and
owe him a chance TO get away with
7 It, of other boys marbles. Said the
,,ood William to himself, "If / go
snacks with these fel-lers, l can scoop in
dsad loads of marbles. No one will
uIav with me now. II is not right for
me to keep all my marbles" So he
went to Cyrus and Rus sci and jay and
the other boys. He sold them ., ,000. 600
marbles. Just think! Was he not
good? And the boys were so grateful,
and they gave him ever so much old
iron aud other junk. Good deeds should
always be -ward-ed, boys. 1 know
you are glad that William was re-
ward-ed. To be sure, William had
many more marbles. He still kept
enough to bust Cyrus and Russell and
Jay and the other boys. But of course
he would not think of doing such q
thing as that. Now, boys, try and be
like the good Will-iam.-BOston Tran

HELP FOR THE NEEDY.+Miss Jennie
Collins, OF Bofiln's Bower, knows. if
anybody in Boston does, how pressing
are the needs Of friendless, struggling
women in a large city. She says that
the real agonizing conflict falls 10 the
lot of those who are educated and pass
their youth aud wOmanhood in comfort
able homes, butat middle age or less are
compelled to fight battles, severe even
for those who have prepared themselves
10 meet them. For instance, one is a
saleswoman, unable TO act in that ca
pacity any longer, or any other; an
other, a telegraph operator, Sl9 in debt
and sunk deep in despair of ever being
able to pay it; another, a genial, pleas
ant lady OF sixty, wandering from street
10 street as a canvasseT, with many
doors closed in her face ruthlessly; an-
other, a machine operator, who has
given the best Of her days to that call
ing. As for the ladies who have seen
better days and desire a place as house,
keeper, they form long list and report
the old story. On the other hand, there
is never a surplus Of young girls who
can wash, iron and cook, and who pos
sess all the qualities demanded of good
hOuse-seTvant.

WHAT NOT TO KILL--The French
Minister OF Finance has done good
deal in causing plaeard to be posted
which 10 would be wise FOR citizens Of
all countries to have before their eyes.
Il tells farmers, spoFtsmen, boys and
others what not to kill, as follows:
Hedgehod-Lives mostly on mice,
small rodents, slugs and grubs-animals
hurtful To agriculture. Don't kill the
hedgehog.
Nole-ls constantly destroying grubs,
Larvae, palmer wormer aud insects iniu-
rious TO agriculture. No trace Of vege-
tation is ever found in its stomach.
Don't Kill the mole.
Birds-Each department loses several
millions annually through insects
Birds are the only enemies able 10 con-
tend againat them vigorously. They
are the great caterpillar-killers and ag-
riculturai assistants. Children, don't
disturb their nests.
y-birds-Never destroy, for they
are the best friends Of farmers and hor-
ticulturists, and their presence upon
aphis-ridden plants is beneficial.
