snail women Be A AIGowed to vote :

The question of female suffrage has agi-
tated the tongue and pen of reformers for
many years, and good arguments have
been adduced for and against it. Many of
the softer sex could vote intelligently, and
many would vote as their husbands did,
and give no thought to the merits of po-
litical issue. They would all vote for DIR.

know it is boon to their sex. 1t is un-

How TO COOK OYSTERS. - so long
as the mouth has all ''r'' in 1t, oysters
are considered in season, and many
lovers of the plump white bivalve have
them almost constantly on their tables
from September until May. Some var

tired of steWing and frying them.
On cold raw evening nothing Will
be more appreciated for tea than plate
of nicely grilled oysters. II this Is
fayorite dish, it is we'll to keep a soap
stone grlddle for the express purpose,
but a skillet or frying pan Will answer.
The oysters must be drained perfectly
dry, this being one Of the secrets OF
success. Ten hours is not too long TO
let them stand in the cOlander, after
allowing a stream of water to run on
them, and wiping them thoroughly
with a thin cloth. When they are
ready to be cooked, have the grlddle
perfectly warmed through, and grease
it slightly with fresh butter. Lay on
the oysters and, asfast as they brown.
turn them with spoon, not a fork, as
piercing lets out the juice. Serve on a
very hot dish with very small piece OF
melted butter.

sprinkling of -four should be stirred

enough. boiling water added to cover
