A Woman Eligible.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1s.-The question
of emale eligibility to the Presidency is
being mooted largely in Washington in con-
nection with Mrs. Belva Lockwood's nomi-
nation for that Office by the Equal Rights
party" Mrs. Lockwood asserted in an inter-
view yesterday that there was no constitu-
tional inhibition to the election of a
III President. In the Kansas contest
last session of Wood against Peters, which
involved the eligibility of a State Judge to
De elected to Congress in violation of the
Kansas State constitution. the Elections
Committee took the ground, which was sus.
tSined by the House, that no State could
add to the qualifications prescribed in the
constitution for a representative in Congress.
The point was made by the contestant that
while Susan b. Anthony, if elected to Con-
gress. possessed all the qualifications of age,
citizenship and inhabitaucy required by
the constitution, yet, being q woman, she
was ineligible under the laws of New
York. The Elections Committee took the
opposite view, and the House practically
decided in this case that a woman possess
ing the constitutional qualifications was
eligible to a seat in Congress, no State hay
ing the right to superadd prerequisites to
those prescribed in the second section OF
article of the Constitution of the United
States.

Vegetarian Nagaries.

People eat too much meat nowadays,
and, neglecting vegetables, do notlearn
the many ways in which these can be
cooked so as to provide a diet cheaper
than meat, and as agreeable for 2
change. Therefore the ve9e%tarians
who have been banqueting to show
what may be done with vegetables have
rendered Il service. But it is j pity
that some of them should create prell'-
dice against themselves and their dishes
by nonsensica! talk about the killlngo,
animals for food. Have they not heard
that a .cording to certain scientists lEe
vegetable feels and perhaps thinks: IL
may be demonstrated to future genefa-
lions that the blushiny carrot is srscep'
ceptib!e of tender emotions, and thas
the retiring ways of the tru.t'e are a"e
to a well-rcasoned aversion to the WlcA.
edness which is to be witnessed ap'e
ground. But again every vegelaoIe
contains animalculr, and we new.
condemn a potato to boiling, WltnoHv
booming to death thousands OF i''to
creatures who may be as interesting IL
their ways as the lobster in his. lno
truth is, all nature lives, and the lian
who would eat without destroying Ia IT,
will find his task a difficult one no
sets about it honestly with the help o.
microscope. However, we may boIto"
dishes from yegetarians without tah'n "a
their opinions. Meat we must nave
some extent, because nature has l!i"a.
us carnivorous; but being 9ramlnl,W
Gus also we shall find ourselves inc W.
ter for letting vegetables pay
greater part in our interior ccono";t
than they do at present. How colle'n "a

Use fer Old Wash.Stands.

The old pine wash-stand, now tucked
away in the garnet, but SO Common al
few years ago, the one with 4 hole iul
the top for a wash-bowl, bars TO
towels, and a drawer and shell below.Y
is a treasure not to be despised. Dovol
want q pretty Queen Anne table for
books or music, remove the back piece
and bars, and nail a smooth board over
the top to cover the hole. An ounce Of
shellac dissolved in q pint of alcohol,
with enough lamp>olack added to make
it the desired dark shade. will supply
enough varnish to transform the pine
table into a fashionable ebonized one,
as the legs only require to lie varniShed.
Then cover both shelves with dark blue
or olive plush or velveteen, which can
o be purchased very c%heaply, and
put a straight valance of the same
round the lower shelf. Finish the Top
one with q worsted chenille fringe, in
bright Persian %colors, and edge the
valance with the same. 1t wi take
only about a yard and q quarter OF the
p uSh and three yards of fringe: and
your table will be the admiration OF all
who see it. If it is to stand against the
wal, three sides of the lower shelf on Y
need be trimmed, and the drawer eft
for use at the back. For a bedroom
these tables are pleasing, if simply var
Ii,hcl and covered in the same way
with a pretty, cheerful cretonne, edged
with a fulr.rullle of the same. Such .
stand is a useful gift for an Invalid
