W'o,,sa,, aud Her Politics.

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, and give
as their reason that the papers are so
full of politics that no lady wants to
read them. These women consider
politics matter for men only. They
are willing that the men shall read
politics to their hearts content. But as
for themselves, give them something
more interesting.
These women make q great mistake
in eschewing political reading. They
may say it is uninteresting, but if SO, it
is to great extent because they have
not acquainted themselves with it. AL
though woman is not as yet a voter.
she has much to do with influencing
the vote of her husband, father, or
brother. To keep informed on politics
is to be acquainted with the history of
the country as it is being made. It is to
learn history in its freshest and most
sparkling condition. It is to grow up
with the country instead of being kept
to the rear in dwarfed condition, and
waiting until history becomes so musty
that it finds its way into the history
books.
Every woman of intelligence prides
herself on more or less knowledge OF
what took place in other nations cen
turtles ago. The girls at school learn
the stale details of battles that were
fought so long since that nobody cares
about what principles were involved in

fighting them. TO become acquainted
with dates and with the number OF the
slain. with the names and misdeeds OF
kings and emperors of other genera
tions, is heavy tax on mind an mem
DRY. In fact, it is for the most part as an
exercise of memory, that these items of
learning are taken in. AS to the poll
tics of ruling circles in Babylon, under
Nebuchadnezzer, we know little, and
care less. Nor do we greatly concern
ourselves about the affairs which dis
turbed or gladdened Egyptian court
circles in the days of the Pharaohs.
But as to what is going on in the stir
ring times in which we live, every man
and woman has a living interest The
details of these events are not dry
reading. There was time, gener-
alton or so ago, when they were dry
enough. But, thanks to the modern
newspaper enterprise and the rising up
of new generation of reporters, such
as our fathers and mothers knew not,
even political meeting is served up
for breakfast in such spicy way that
even the society lady con enjoy the ac-
count of it.
Perhaps some of these days women
may vote. If they are ever going to
the polls, it will be we'll to be furnished
with the most thorough knowledge of
political affairs that they can procure.
Should they never become voters, the
knowledge will be no less worth ac-
quiring. It ought to he as rare for q
woman to frown on political informa-
ton as to say that she has no under
standing of housekeeping. IN. Y. Star.
