The Rer0lutiOn was Miss Anthonv's
enterprise, and in the attempt to sustain
it she lost not only her own money. but
that which had been loaned by her brother
ana friends. She bravely maintained it
till it became forlorn hope, and then
she relinquishcd it into hands which she
believed stronger than her own. For
the next few wears she worked and
lahorcd necessarily TO pay of the debts
incurred for the paper, and never rested
till she had earned the money and dis
charged herself of all obligation. Miss
Anthony was born at South Adams on
February Is, 1920. She is OF Quaker
parentage, and was for fifteen years a
teacher Her features are regular. her
face of fine, strong type. which has
lost the ''rugged" and somewhat an
tagonistic expression, quite foreign to
her nature which it formerly bore, for
she is one of the most tolerant, most for
giving of mortals, severe only to herself
Since 1852 she has been associated with
the suffrage movement. but WAS previ-
ously and always distinguished for zeal
in the temperance and other questions.
She is not writer and dislikcs to have
to use her pen, but she is a natural orator
and an interchangeable worker. The only
barrier to success had she been a man,
would have been her conscience, but
then it perhaps would not have acquired
its development under masculine educa-
ton and training. Her public life and
that of Mrs. Stanton has been one of
speeches and resolutions, convent ons
and flying travel. Not luxurious
journeys in Pullman palace cars, with
expensive hotels and hotel fare at the
termination, but hard night and day
travelling by the cheapest modes and at
the least expense, snatching hasty
meal here and there. as time and the con
tents of a slender purse permitted.
All this is changed now. Susan"
has earned her rest, and she takes it in
the home which Mrs. Stanton succeeded
in earning for herself in Tenafy, n. j.,
in the midst of her friends family, of
which she is as much part as if she
belonged TO it by blood. Here they
write the history they have helped so
much to make, and whatever may be the
individual opinion in regard to their
work, credit has at least been given to
their courage, their martyr-like spirit,
their constancy, their unseltish devotion,
their true womanliness and the substan-
tial benefits they have been largely the
means of comforting upon their own sex,
so that Mrs. Stanton's daughter may
we'll say that one woman, at least, is
glad to acknowledge that her life has
been made better because those two
women have lived.

A View OF Brazil's CaDital.

Viewed from the deck OF Il ship IN
the harbor the city of Rio de Janeiro
looks like a fragment of fairy land a
cluster of alaDaster castles, decorated
with vincs-but the illusion is instantly
dispelled upon landing, for the streets
are narrow, damp, dirty. reeking with
rcpulsive odors, and filled with vermin-
covered beggars and wolIish looking
dogs. Distance lends enchantment to
the city, and its outward appearance is
very deccitful The whole town seems
TO be in continual perspiration, and the
atmosphere is so enervating that the
stranger feels an almost irresistible ten
dcncy to lie down. There is now and
then a lovely little spot where nature
has displayed her beauties unhindered,
and the euvlrons of the city are filed
with the luxury of tropical vegetation,
but there are only few fine residences,
few pleasant promenades, and a few
clusters of regal palms which look down
upon the filth and sQualor of the town
with dainty indifference. The palm
is the peacock of trees. Nothing can
degrade it, and the filth in which it often
grows only serves to heighten its beauty.
classes are gardens that battle the paint
ers skill, and foliage that is the idcal of
Insurance and gracefulness. They arc
little glimpses of green and gold in q
desert of misery and dirt.
The city is in the shape of a narrow
crescent, lying between the mountains and
the bay, nowhere more than half II milo
wide, and stretching for distance OF
nine or ten miles. 1t can never be any
wider, but grows at either end. Tho
chief residence street lies along the edge
of the water, but the business houses ara
crowded into the lower portion of tho
town, damp, gloomy, and dismal, tho
streets being so narrow that carriages arc
forbidden to enter them during the busy
hours of the day. A fire that would burn
out the older portion of the city would
be blessing, and might redeem Rio
from some of its filth and ugliness -

The troubles between yourself and your

The troubles between yourself and your
wife,
The judge, most devoted husband
turned pale and asked agitatedly
"What do you mean! What have you
heard"
Nothing" replied Mrs. Stanton Sc
renely, the merry smile no doubt witch
Ing on her lips. But as your wife has
now separate estate and you predicted
such unhappincss as the result of this
eve of divorce"
The judge joined heartily in the laugh
at his own expense.
Mrs. Stanton and Horace Greeley were
lifelong friends until the Constitutional
convention of 1868. Mr.. Greeley in
that body opposed an amendment to the
constitution striking out the word
''malc' rs n qualification for voters,
which was sustained by George William
Curtis, Charles J. Folgcr and many
others. Just after somewhat violent
speech by Mr.. Greeley against the meas
urc Mrs. Stanton caused to be presented
memorial praying for lis passage headed
by the name of Mrs. Horace Greeley.
The great philosopher was furious, and
in revenge decreed that her name should
never again appear in the Iribune except
as Mrs. Henry Il. Stanton"
Mrs Stanton was bonn in 1915 in
Johnstown, n. y. She was the daughter
of Judge Daniel Cady and Margaret Liv-
in@ston. his wife She was educated in
class of boys at the Johnstown AGA

II
pericnce turned her attention to the diff
ficultics and disabilities Of women and
aroused her strong Indignation. Had
she been Il hoy her father would have
trained her with the greatest care for the
legal profession. As it was she was
tur:.ed loose amidst Coke and Black
stone in her fathers Office, but her mental
activity, her independent lines OF
thought and really splendid forensic
faculties, aided by a fund OF ready wit,
were more subjects for joking by her
father than for laying the foundation of
future cminrncc, although he was very
proud OF his clever daughter. In 1910
she married Henry B. Stanton, and went
with him to London to attend the
Worlds Anti-Slaverv convention held in
that city. subsequently they settled in
Seneca Falls, and it was from that point
that the call for the first suffrage con.
vcntion was issued, bringing together
three women destined to exert an i'm
portant influence upon the succeeding
years and their events-Mrs. Stanton
Lucreta Mott and Miss Anthony.
Since that time the lives of the two have
been wrought in together, although they
have had their separate interests, enter
prises and ambitions-Mrs. Stanton
naturally expanding more of her energies
and the results of her work in her home
life, Miss Anthony devoting herself al
most unreservedly to the cause she had
at heart.

A Unique Address.

The worst fiend the decipherers at the
postotfice have to contend with is the OK
tremely funny young man whose delicate
sense of tasteful humor leads him to dis
card such common things as good Eng
fish letters in the address of notes to his
lady friends.
The letters in some very frequently
give place to symbols, such as are seen
on advertising puzzles, and very often
the mail distributors come across an en-.
velope which bears nothing but a group
of pictures.
Postmaster Huidekoner and several of
his clerks were engaged in decipherins
the address of one of these when re.
porter dropped into the postotlice The
pictures are all drawn with hard lead
pencil and were very neatly executed.
The first one represented a giddy-look
ing young girl dancing a hornpipe. This
was made out to mean Miss The
next was the capital letter / drawn in
monogram form with the small letter n.
This was understood to mean Ellen.
There was figure of Sampson and the
lion.
II have it," exclaimed Postmaster
IIuidekoper, triumphantly. at means
Miss Ellen Samson
The first figure on the second row was
a woman leaning over a washtub in the
act of washing. Next to this was the
following: 2,24O pounds" This
meant ton, and with washing. made
"Washington." The next symbol was
figure showing street. On the third
row was a picture OF door standing be-
side chest, supporting the letter X.
This was interpreted to mean Dorches-
ter.
Then there was a drawing of the letter
an" being kicked over by an ass. This
was designed to stand for Mass, mean
ing Massachusetts. So after half an
hours work it was discovered that the
address was "Miss Ellen Samson, Wash
ington street, Dorchester, Mass" The
postmaster very kindly forwarded it to
her, rcmarking tibet the young man who
wrote the unique address probably
thought himself smart. -PAiladeLphia

This is very common complaint. and
one that causes a great deal OF sleepless-
ness-first, on retiring at night, and
again, carly in the morning we are awoke
by cold feet, and cannot get them warm
except by drawing them up almost to
the chin. This occurs not only in the
young, but in the middle aged and
the old. For this there are two rem
edies-the hot bott and lambs
wool socks. either or both of which may
be used. When we consider that dur
ing the day, while we are active. we wear
stockings and shoes, does it not seem
strange that at night, when the tempera-
ture of the air IS lower. and when we
are inactive, that our feet should have
les covering than during the day The
reasonable plan is to have a special pair
OF socks for night use, put them on when
gong to bed, aud change them when we
get up; the result will be better and
more serene sleep, consequently we shall
be more able to undergo our daily cXer-
tions. | say ut once, to all who suffer
from cold feet, get pair OF walm socks
for night wear. \ good walk for half
an hour before retiring warns the feet
and sends IL NICE glow all through the
body, and disposcs 20 sleep. 1t must
not be supposed that these remedies
make one less able to stand cold: they
are simply to retain the heat of the body
and allow of comfort, and, if followed,
much benefit will be derived. II X.
