Women and Her Politics.
New York Start

Many women have no politics at all.
When asked, especially about election times,
if they have read the papers, they reply
that they have not, AMI give as the reason
that the papers are SO full of politics that
no lady wants to read them. These women
consider politics a matter for men only.
They are willing that the men shall read
polite; to their hearts content But as for
themselves, give them something more in
teresting.
These women make a great mistake in
eschewing political reading. They may say
it is uninteresting, but il so it is to great
extent because they have not acquainted
themselves with it. Although woman is not
as yet voter, she has much to do with in
iuencing the vote of husband, father and
brother. To keep informed on politics is to
be acquainted with the history OF the coun-
try as it is being made. It is to learn his
tory in it freshest and most sparkling con-
dition. 1t is to grow up with the country
instead of being kept to the rear in a
dwarfed condition and waiting until history
becomes so musty that it fiuds the way into
the history books.

So little does Mrs. Leland Stanford care
for ornaments that few know that she has
diamonds to the amount of 81, U0O,0 900. she
has four entire sets which belonged TO
Queen Isabella, of Spain, the mother of
the present king. 1t will be remembered
that the queen at che time was in Paris in
such needy circumstances that she had to sell
her jewels and other valuables. Governor
Stanford bought the four complete sets at
that time. Eacl set has tierras,
necklaces. brooches, earrings, bracelets, and
other ornaments. One set is called blue,
because the rays which are emitted are of a
violet hue. These are the rarsst of all dia-
monds Another set give out rose-colOrei
flashes; another has yellow tints, and tha
fourth pure white. The price paid for
these sets was $500, 600.
Outside of these Mrs. Stanford has one
necklace which cost 100000, AMI the
pendant $50, 900. She also has many black
diamonds, and has sixty rings of great mag
nificence, and does not wear any. She has
emeralds, pearls, and rubies il addition to a
million dollars of diamond;

Hard- Nyorking European women. :

HARD w OFking European WOMEN
Foreign Letter.
At Stockholm the debasemsnt of women
is perhaps more thorough and complete than
in any city Of northern Europe. She here
practically supplants the beasts of burden.
And I am not altogether unfamiliar with
womans work in Europe, have seen her
around the pit mouth, ct the forge, and
barefooted in the brickpards of "Merrie
England" and filing blast furnaces and
tending coke ovens in "Sunny France"
1 have sadly watched her bearing the
heat and burden of the day in the
fields of "Fatherland,' and in Austria
Hungary doing the work OF man
and beast on the farm and in the
mine. l have seen women emerge
from the coal pits of Busy Belgium" where
little girls and young women graduate un-
derground as hewers OF coal and drawers OF
carts, for it is no uncommon thing IN Eu-
rope to hitch women and dogs together that
manufacturing may be done cheaply. Agei
bent and sunburned, I have seen women,
with rope over shoulder, toiling on the
banks of canals and bikes in picturesque
Holland.
Having witnessed all this, l was yet sur
prised to find in a city SO beautiful and
seeming so rich and prosperous as Stock
holm woman still mora debased. In Stock
holm she is almost exclusively employed as
hodcarrier and bricklayer's assistant She
carries brick, mixss mortar, and, in short,
does all the heavy work about the building
At the dinner hour you see groups of women
sitting on the piles OF wood and stone eating
their frugal repast
Those engaged making mortar and tend
ing plasterers wore aprons They are paid
for q day of hard work of this toll, lasting
twelve hours, the muuiGeent sum OF l
kroner equivalent to 1 shilling and pence).
Women sweep the streets, haul the rubbish,
drag hand carts up tde hills and over the
cobble- stone unload bricks at the quays,
attend to the parks, do thu gardening, and
row the numerous ferries Ehich abound at
Stockholm.
The entire dairy business of the city is in
their hands, and here they take the places
of horses and dogs, carrying on their Shout
ders the heavy cans OF milk from door to
{ door. While woman thus slaves in Stock
holm, man parades. You will see him in a
sort of uniform in the market place, loung-
ling all day "for hire to run errands or to
/ do light porterage. Whenever any light
work that pays fairly well is to be
done there is the genus man. On dress pa
rade you see him as 2 soldier, staggering
about beer gardens, loafng in the barrack
yard, or fishing on the outskirts Of the
town. IT'S pity some OF the snowy sci
diers OF these little European powers could
not be crystali-JI into expert hod-carrier-
or skillfuI mortar mixers. in stead of weigh.

Backwheat Cakes and Molasses.

And speaking of buckwheat cakes, not one
