The Wife's Earnings.

Wisconsin Citizen
When l hear woman say that her hus-
band "gave" her ten cents, or that he ssIet
her have quarter'-say Il without a
blush or apparently a thought of her own
degradation in being obliged to say So
I feel ashamed for womanhood, end al
most discourage ed, and wonder sometimes
if one SO dependent upon another will
ever make an Independent voter. So in
grained into society is the feeling that
woman is supported" by her husband,
that these terms are used without thought
aRd most people ret echo them as thought
lessly. So few women value their SER
vices as they ought, they forget that
housekeeper would receive good wages for
the labor she performs, and would not
use half the care-would not save nearly
SO much. Men know that this is so
when they stop to think, but habit is so
settled with them that few stop to think
and SO We hear some Of the best meD say:
''I'll let you have so much" as if the
money were any more bis to let her have
than hers to let him have. Too often it
is the case that the wife feels obliged to
account for every cent spent by her
while her husband spends as he pleases
and renders ID account to anyone, instead
of each keeEizg a strict account of all
money which should belong equally to
them.
It is well that so many girls and women
earn money before marriage nowadays;
that helps them to appreciate the value
Of their labors; but more is needed yet,
and I hope the ballot will bring the more
will make women respect their own
value, and through their self respect will
come the respect of man.

The Rights of Others.

Let no one be so intent upon the

will forget the beam in his own.
Too commonly the fact is ignored
that mans opinions and convictions
are his private personal matter, with
which no one else has a right 70 med
die.
In politics, the spending of money,
in social life, in dress, and education,
each one should scrupulously avoid
acting as censor of others who may
differ with himself.
A man may believe in homeopathy
to the highest dilution, but that belief
does not entitle him to the privilege of
calling his neighbor to account because
he chooses to seek relief by means of
mercury and quinine in as heroic doses
as he may fancy.
No one is privileged while guest to
attack the opinions of the family whose
hospitality he enjoys. When, for any
reason, he can not acquiesce in the
family regulations, let him depart and
not try to reform the family to his
standard of propriety.
By calm, personal arguments, or by
the force of example. one may try to
convince another that his way is the
better, but true courtesy requires that
he shall not unasked present his opin
ions where to do so will wound and not
