wOMEN's DUTY TO THE STATE.

So much has been said about suffrage as
a right, that we sometimes almost lose
sight Of the fact that it is a duty as well.
If women ought to vote the question
whether they want to vote is of COMPARE
lively little consequence. They ought to
want to. This aspect of the case was well
presented by Mrs. Elizabeth L. Chace, at
the last meeting Of the Rhode Island Wo-
man Suffrage Association. She said:
The women of this association are in
spired by one motive, which is little recog-
nized by the outside world, but which is
stronger even thar the sense of the right
to self-goyernment, which belongs to every
human being. And this is. that it is the
duty of women to take an active. woman
ly part in government affairs. Now, this
sense of duty to the State is what | wish.
above all other considerations, to impress
upon every woman within the sound of
my voice.
las no household is complete and WELL
equipped for the most beneficial results in
the building up and management of a fam
lily and home, without the cooperation of
men and women, so no State, city or
town can ever be well organized and we'll
governed, until the qualities peculiar to
women are employed in the undertaking.
Sometimes, in answer to onr appeals, a
woman will say, "Why, I don't want to
vote;" and SO she feels no responsibility;
not seeing how far-reaehine is the 2rinci-
pie we advocate. Suffrage for women
means much more than just depositing a
office. 1t means more even than giving
the help OF women in the government. 1t
means putting women on an equality With
men everywhere-in the State, in the
church, in the college, in the home. 1t
means equal rights to property, and equal
pay for equal work. 1t means the same
moral standard for both sexes-that a
wrong-doing man shall suffer the same
penalty as is inflicted OF the wrong-doing
woman. 1t means better protection and
more safety for the young. and higher,
nobler life in every department of human
existence.
Now, | know there are many women
who believe in the right of suffrage for
women, and yet they have not felt called
upon to aid in any earnest or practical way
to secure this right. l want all such wo-
men to look at this work as a duty they
WI to the State and to the world. Put
your shoulders to the wheel, dear sisters,
and take some of the responsibility with
those who nave borne heavy burdens, some
of them ''grievious to be borne, for the
sake of the cause which is as much to you
as it is to us. And, as a means for the
common good, it is the duty of men as we'll
as women, to cast their greater power in
its favor.

WHO WINS?

who wins in any undertaking? He who
starts in with a resolute determination to
succeed, and sticks to it. In everything
there are discouragements and obstacles to
be overcome. A pretty illustration of this
is found in the following ~anecdote: At
one of the mills in the City of Boston a
boy was wanted, aud a piece of paper was
tackled on one of the posts:
"Boy wanted. Call at the office. to-mor-
row morning"
at the time named there was a host of
boys at the gate. All were admitted, but
the oyerseer was perplexed as to the best
way of choosing one from SO many, and,
said he, "Now, boys, when I only want
one of you, how can | choose from SO
many?"
After thinking a moment, he called them
into the yard, drove a nail into a tree, and
taking a short stick, told them that the
boy who could hit the nail with a stick a
little distance from the tree should have
place.
The boys each tried three times, and
failed to hit the nail. They were told to
come again the next morning. When the
gate was opened, there was but one boy,
who, after being admitted, picked up the
stick, and, throwing it at the the nail, hit
it every time.
GLOW is this?" said the ove.seer. "What
have you been doing?"
And the boy said, "You see. sir, l have
a mother, and we are very poor. l have
no father, and I thought | would like to
get the place, and so help all l can; and,
after going home yesterday, | drove a nail
into the barn, and have been trying ever
since, and have come down this morning
to try again"
The boy was admitted to the place.
Many years have passed since then, and
this boy is o a prosperous man; and at
the time of an accident at the mills he was
the first to step forward with a gift OF
$500 to relieve the sufferers. 1t is easy to
see how his success came.

HARD AND SOFT WATER.

All cooks understand the different effects
produced by soft and hard water in cook
ing meat and vegetables. Peas and beans
cooked IN hard water, containing lime or
gypsum. will not boil tender, because
these substances harden vegetable ~easeine.
Many vegetables, as onions, boil nearly
tasteless in soft water, because all the
favor is boiled out. The addition of salt
often checks this, as in the case of onions,
causing the vegetables to retain the pecu-
liar ~tiavoring principles, besides such nu-
tritious matter as might be lost in soft
water. For extracting the juice of meat
to make a broth OF soup. soft water, I'M
salted and cold at first, is best, for it much
more readily penetrates the tissue; but for
boiling where the juice should be retained.
hard water or soft water salted is prefera-
Bile, and the meat should be put in while
the water is boiling, SO as to seal up the
pores at onee.-Joarnai Of Chemistry.

WOMEN As JOURNALISTS.

Woman's place in journalism is assured.
She is securely ensconced in her own little
corner, and over the annex her flag floats
eheerily. She was late in coming, but she
has come with pen and inkstand, and she
has come to stay, not because she must
permits Ler to stay, but by the higher test
os diligence and the excellence of her
work.
For woman's fitness for journalistic
work there can be no question. b daily
newspaper plays an important part in the
formation of the character and the deter
mination of the destiny Of the youth of the
land. If the mothers of our boys controll-
ed the columns of the secular press, they
would contain no line unfit for guileiess
minds to read. No reports of pugilistic
encounters would then deface their pages.
The profession of journalism needs woman
quite as much woman needs the profession
of journalism. I say this without in the
least seeking 10 detraet from the merits of
our brothers who have gone before and
smoothed the way. 1t is never good for
man to be alone. He has many admirable
qualities, but it has never been claimed
by even his warmcst admirers that the art
of keeping a house in order was one of
them. Yet he has built himself a great
big journalistic house, and worked in it
all alone so long that its grand arches and
magnificent galleries have gotten full of
dust and cobwebs, and, poor fellow, he
needs woman to sweep it out for him, and
brush and dust, and pick up and put away
until it is clean and sweet and wholesome.
Indeed, in this jubilee year of the nine
teenth century, it may come to pass that
man, with the help of woman, will recon-
struct the plan of the entire edifice, and
one grand new building will arise wherein
both may work together; a stately temple
from whose thousand gates will be pro-
claimed a new gospel of humanity. Then
there will be nc more annex, for the cor
ner-stone of the new structure ill be equal
rights for men and women.

FOR YOUR BEST GIRL.

"If You val to give a lady a present, y
said a jeweler, ''here is the latest agony. y
He held up a handsome round silver box
about the size Of a t:acelet, an inch and a
half deep. Its sides were beautifully chas
ed, while the top of the cover was left
smooth for a monogram.
These boxes, " he continued, ''are used
for candy, and are used by society girls
everywhere. They can be found at din
ners, balls, theatres, and even at the
churches. Whenever a young man takes
a lady to the theatre he, as a rule, brings
her a box of candies. She cannot take
such a large package to the theatre with
her, so by use of the silver box she has
about the third of the choicest candies to
eat between the acts while her escort is
outside to see if it is going to rain.'"

$50 many dogs go mad in sum mel time, >
said a breeder of CANNES, because no mat
ter how hot the weather is their owners
persist in giving them raw meat. Perhaps
it is the stuff purchased for the table that
has become unfit for use, or maybe it is
raw meat and bones bought or begged
from the butcher. Every ounce OF I'M
cooked meat fed to a dog in summer heats
its blood, renders it savage, and makes it
liable to hy~drophobia. 1t is safe to say
that seven-tenths of the dogs that go mad
are victims of injudicious feeding. Then
again, after feeding the animals with raw
meat, they keep them tied up, often in the
sun, until the poor brutes go mad from
sheer worry and want of exercise. The
way you want to treat a dog in hot weather
is to boil his meat, add a little salt, and
give him plenty Of fresh water and moder-
ate exercise"

Mrs. II. r. Haweis, writing to the Pail
Mall Gazette on ''Tlie Best Books for Chill
dren," says: "As to books for girls and
boys distinctly, | consider that the more
the sexes are brought mp alike, it not to-
gether, the better for both. That which
is good for a girl is rood for a boy. That
which is bad for one is emphatically bad
for the other. More freedom for girls and
more guidance for boys is what most
heartily desire and e%njoin, and this | would
say at every stage Of education. Such a
system would develop better young men
and wiser and more useful yonng women,
and a far healthier social tone, as it seems
to me it has undoubtedly done in Amer
ica."
