Proba abilities Of "a Contest for Il this
Year.
An English yachtsman arrived in New
York in February stated that the owners
Of the cutter Thistle are building two
steel center board sloop yachts Of large
size at Henderson's yard on the Clyde.
The yachts are to measure at least ninety
feet on the water line. Their designing
has been kept profound secret, but it is
supposed that Watson, who designed the
Thistle, is also responsible for the lines
Of the new yachts.
Speaking Of the possibility Of an inter-
national race this year, member Of one
Of the prominent clubs, says: II believe
the talk about Jamison building a cutter
and the objection to the deed Of gift, was
all scheme to gain time. They have
seen the clause in the new deed, which

Work q home'' - A SwindIing
Scheme. :

The Women's Educational and In
dustrial Unions have investigated
more than thirty firms that advertise
to supply women with 'work At
homo" promising good income from
trifling outlay. Every one of these
has been found to be . mere scheme
for swindling women. A small de-
posit Of money is always required in
advance, as payment for materials
ETC.; and after the victim has for
warded the money. either no work is
sent her, or payment is refused for 1t
when it 10 done. The Women's E. and
L Union. n Boylston street, Boston,
will investigate without charge all
offers OF ''work at home" and women
will do well to communicate with the
Union before answering any such ad-
vertisement.

An Advocate Of Woman Suffrage.

There il man in Minneapolis who
knows his own mind thoroughly on
the question Of woman suffrage. He
is the editor Of the NorthsCeseern Pro-
hibitiosist. He says:
I'VE have received letter from Q
man-who Is ashamed to give his
name-who modestly says that il we
will drop out Of our party the plea for
woman's vote, he will be q worker for
our cause and its final triumph.
"The editor Of this paper can speak
for himself, as m individual in answer
to the above:
when we do %, may our right
hand forget how to write our mother 8
name. May our arm be paralyzed;
may our tongue refuse to utter tho
Saviour's declaration: God 50 loved
the world may our eyes grow dim
and sightless, that we can not look
upon the face Of our wife and daugh-
ters; may our feet refuse to walk; may
our cars refuse to hear; may our heart
refuse to send coursing through our
veins our mothers blood; may the
devil get us, and. il we do. he will"
That is explicit, to say the least. It

ances of the politician who. being

IT is injurious to rub the eyes while
infamed by the cutting winter winds
and the dust raised thereby, and equal
ly SO to bathe them and 60 out inn
mediately again in the air, as then
there is danger of catching a cold. A
prominent optician declares that most
of the eye troubles Mt this season are
caused by imprudence in rubbing and
