AGAINST THE SEX.
Women Not Allowed to Es come Attorneys
in Masaachusetts.


Boston Special to Cincinnati Gazette.
Miss Lila j. Robinson, young
woman of ABOUT twenty-eight, fair tai
ented and Independent, graduated last
spring from the university law school,
and soon after made application for ad
mission TO the bar as practicing attor-
ney. Chief Justice Gray, before whom
the petition was filed, took brief pre-.
pared by Miss Robinson in her own be-
half, and decided against her. The mat
ter went up before the full bench, and to-
dap a long and carefully prepared opin-
ion was sent down. which sustains Judge
Grays position and cites at length the
reasons for the refusal 10 admit Miss
Robinson to practice.
FIRST the honorable justices show that
the term Citizen used by the petitioner
in her application, does not in this in
stance apply TO or include women. The
legislative enactment meant men and
not women for attorneys. Next they
argue that there is no precedent for such
proceeding in English law. Miss Rob
insen cited the case of the Countess of
Pembroke, who is said TO have held the
Office of hereditary sheriff OF Westmore-
ldlu III lllt btNtnlttlAAll ANuluils
justices doubt the truth Of the report,
admitting that in Il certain sense, and out
Of respect to her family, and the fact that
the succession was temporarily broken,
the judges may have invited her to sit
with them when they came to the
county. They find no public office of
that nature held by a woman.
An attorney at law, says the court, is
not indeed in the strictest sense public
officer, but he comes very near it. If a
woman should be finally appointed and
commissioned as justice of the peace she
would have no contitutiOnal or legal au-
ihority for any of the functions apper-
tanning to that office. According to the
opinion of the justices (l07 Mass, 604),
whenever the legislature has intended
to make a change in the legal right or
capacities of women it has used words
clearly maniiesting its intent and the
extent of the change intended. The
statutes permitting a married woman to
hold and convey property, to make con
tracts, TO sue and be sued and be an ex-
ecutrix, administrators, guardian or trus.
tee, have in no way enlarged the capacity
of any woman. married or unmarried, to
hold office, and have no application to
single women or TO the legal disabilities
To which married and unmarried women
alike are subject. The house of repre-
sentatives in 1874, having taken the
opinion of the justices of tins court that
t1ere was nothing in the constitution it
self to prevent women from being mem
bers ofschool committees, the legislature
enacted that no person should be deemed
ineligible to serve upon school commit
tee by reason ofsex, and it has since ex-
press authorized women to vote at the
election of school commissioners.

What to Call Her.

When a woman add resses her partner

My dearest hubby" he may possibly

would like to hear almost anything else.
One fears that different terms Of ad-
dress may follow, which represent an.
other mood. On the other hand, when
a man addresses his spouse as "wllee,"
il is almost impossible to avoid tbii king
of doggy" and here Is an unpleasant
feeling of sickness at hearing the word,
But when one hears a husband address

most distinguished authors of New Eng.
land in addressing his better halt it
seems as if the wife bad the proper
place in her husbands affections. The
word is expressive; it grants the su.
periorlty OF woman; it enthrones her in
his home. Quite IN contrast is the re-
served tone In many households. II is
always "Nr. Smith" and Mrs. Smith, -
and one fears constantly that he may

tempt to secure the adoption in 'Brlttan

674 years of life, every person should
be put gently out of the world. Certain
veins are to be opened, "while the de-
parting one should, under the influence
ofmorphine, be gently entranced within
a warm BATH" The theory is that. by the
abolition of the miseries, weakness and
imbecility of old age, by the prearrangei

otherwise become old, much sufierina

How Rugs are Made.
Philadelphia Record.


How many who stop to admire the
show windows of our carpet dealers
know how rugs are made? That it is
woven somehow is all that is apparent
as it lies there, warm, soft, bright with a
dozen colors and attractive in its pretty
design of flowers, fruit, birds or figures.
The rug is twice woven, and this is its
history: First, the border and center
that is to form the pattern il designed,
then painted in straight lines upon q pa.
per containing a ruled scale, and in the
proper c0lors that are afterward to APP
pear on the rug. This paper rug is then
cut up into strips, each containing two
spaces of the scale, AID these papers are
the pattern that the first or wett weaver
has to follow,
In weaving weft a warp beam of say
200 threads in width, and wheep beam
of 100 threads in width are required.
Two threads of the first and one of the
second pass through the same split in
the reed at regular intervals OF say one
third of an inch, the intervening splits
of the reed being empty. The paper
pattern is fastened to the middle Of the
work. and the weaver follows it exactly
as il is painted, that is, the pattern may
need six threads of crimson, two
black twelve of corn, ten Of green olive
and so on. the weaver filling the spot"
exactly as to length and color Having
woven the full length of paper as painted
in the left hand space, the paper is be-
gun again and the painting in the right
hand space is followed, and when all the
papers which, laid side by side, form the
rug have been thus gone over, the wet
for the rug is finished.
The roll OF welt cloth is then run
through the cutting machine, lOInch
cvlinder, around which a continuous
thread of knife blades is run. This cyl
inder is revolved at high rate OF speed,
and the weft-cloth, passing within range
of tbe knives, is cut into strips by them

False statements are as culpable when
made for good cause as for a bad, and

lecturer at the meeting of the National
Prohibition Alliance in New York tbi-
week, put the number of "drunkard,'
wivesn in the United States at 1900 600
and "drunkards' children" at $4,000 @.
he made statement that every intelh-
o, nj man knows is false, and which mo-
body but fool would make without de-
iiheyafe misstatement. The estimate
makes one child in three the country
