for president Is tho daughter Of Rev. j. W Scott,
Of Oxford Ohio, aA emiuenC professor and an
earnest worker in the cause of education. Mrs.
Harrison is described as plump little woman
remarkably young looking for one who is grand
mother; her counteriance is expressive when con-
versing, her face often lighting up with a sunny
smile, in pleasant contrast with the abundance of
glossy hair, which is her most striking feature.
She contributes largely to the enjoyment of social
circles at lndianas capital, andis equally admired
in fashionable society in Washington. In a recent
interview, Mr.. Harrison remarked that he had re-
ceived from his ancestors nothing but an educa-
ton, but considered that sufficient as start in
life He and his wife were married while still very
young, and went to housekeeping in a small house
of only three rooms, where his wife did her own
cooking and house work, while the young husband
toiled diligently in q small law office down town.
Both often refer to the early days of their mar
ried life as the happest season of their existence
when they set out together upon the journey up the
hill towards fame and honor Though still not veal
thy people, they are in comfortable circumstances,
cultivated, refined and popular; in short pair the
country could well feel proud of, should they be
called to dwell for season in the white house.

Woman's Rights.

woman nhBii.o'
1t was not without reason that America and
Europe towards the close OF the last century
raised the cry of the rights of man. James Otls
uses the phrase in his famous tract on the Amerl-
can colonies, nor are we aware OF any carrier
appearance of it in print. 1t played great part
in the American revolution. 1t found its way into
our Declaration of Independence and INTO the
fundamental laws of most of our states. 1t played
still greater part in the French revolution zen
or dozen French constitutions, more or less, were
founded upon it. The author of the Age OF
Reason" issued famous book with this title. 1t
created a furore and the word became the fashion,
able phrase of the day. 1t was on all men lips.
The Indian brave paid his respects to these rights
and in their name claimed his own. But long
before Bulwer made the discovery "that the times
change and we change with them, Others learned
that all things are not what they seem, The
fashions changed. mighty revolution swept
over the country and new and in times past
unheard of word was coined for all future time.
And dare say that it is not without reason that
the rights of women are now dlnged into our ears.
Nor is this without marked effect, not merey upon
our manners and society but also upon our laws.
Almost all our state legislatures are at work with
more or less diligence and enthusiasm modifying
their statute books, under the influence of this;
new zeal what great things shall the women not
hope for? In the halls of congress and in other
respectable places these rights are claiming an
attention never before accorded them.
Woman's rights have become the watclword OF
a new movement that will eventually revolutionize
society. 1t has found its way into the Woman's
Declaration of Independence, So great has
become this cry that the rights of men, once in
everybody smouth, are seldom heard of nowadays,
unless 1t be in a political convention; and these
rights once the hope of humanity are referred to
only to be sneered at, or used as flourish
or a chimera of the imagination. One
poor fellow with agesture of dispair, said recently,
"Ill never jolt other side. I'll stand straight up
for the inherent, inalienable rights of man.
don't intend to tumble over backward in attempt
ing to do so either" ''And that is just what we
women intend to do answered little woman
who heard his remarks; ''we are going to
stand straight up for woman's rights forever, and
march on to victory, shouting the battle cry of
freedom" ADAM DEAN,

Socrates and Xanthippe.

The name of Socrates has been handed down to
posterity amid laurels and veneration with each
historian and biographer his remarkable utterances
have gathered fresh embellishments.
Xanthppe, the partner of his joys and woes, also
left some footprints on the sands of time; foot
prints which the tide of worlds disfavor will
never wash away, and she will be regarded for aye
as an arch-termagent, the scolding prosecutor of
her liege lord, the lynx-eyed detective ever on the
alert for the short comings of genius. Back of
the achievements of every great man, says the
biographer, is the life long devotion of some good

The w. C. T. u, Again.

EDITOR OF WoMAN's CHRONICLE: Along with
some discouragements, we, as an organization,
have some real good encouragement. When il
comes to us that our work of sowing seed is bear
ing some good fruit, be it only tiny cluster, we
are glad. When we hear that we've been the nm
worthy means of converting just one who other
wise would have remained indifferent, we are
more than repaid for our anxetes Had it been
proven that silence and inaction were best and
wisest, we would have forever remained silent and
inactive. Many good men are absorbed in the
problems OF money-makng. They have business
duties, families to support and the numerous pub
lie claims devolvng upon every righteous citizen.
The woman, besides her housekeeping, has often
been ridiculed for her vanity and extravaganza in
social life. The time has come, however, when
the helpmeet has risen to emergencies hitherto
undreamed Of She has succeeded in her own
peculiar way, and where many man would have
failed. Her past success assures her that the
future will bring results better still. AS LONG as
we have the unmistakable evidence of Divine appro.
bation we are willing to push on in the face of
trownlng worldly opposition. Many of us can
say that, so long as we earnestly strive to do our
very best, God leading us, we have indeed. "Meat

Deafening Floors.

Various expedients have been used for
"deafening" floors, as it is called. Numbered
with material used for the purpose are NOR
tar, mixed with chopped hay or straw, dry
lime, rubbish, sand, hair, sawdust, etc. Any
of the named materials in layers of two
inches will suffice to deaden sound. Building
News suggests some other substances as thick
felt, laid below the floor board. Stag wool,
made in the form of tiles or bricks, is a good
material to prevent the transmission Of
sound, and any fibrous material formed into
cellular slabs answers the purpose A French
journal throws out another suggestion attrib-
uted to Gen. Loyre, who proposes, instead Of
loading the floor with plaster, to fill in the
space between the boarding and the plaster
ing and ceiling with shavings which have
been rendered incombustible by dipping them
in tub Of thick whitewash As it is known
that soft substances inclosing air spaces form
an excellent non-conducting material to
sound, it is thought that the shavings so
treated will be found of great service, and IL
is said they are so incombustible as to add
considerably to the fire resisting properties of
the building. Where it is desired to disinfect
the space between the floor and ceiling the
shavings may be saturated with chloride Of
zinc, or the latter may be added to the lime
wash

to have the pin exactly perpendicular Then
strip of paper is attached by its anterior ex-

The Holy Number.

Seven is a holy or fortunate, rather than
lucky, number. There are seven days in
creation, seven spirits before the Lord, seven
heavens, seven Christian graces, seven ages
of man, seven candlesticks, seven stars, seven
hours in Revelations. The alchemists recog-
nized the repetition of seven in nature, and
made it magic number, with their seven
metals-gold, silver, IRON, quicksilver, lead,
tin, copper There were seven champions Of
Christendom, according to the legend, seven
sleepers, seven wonders of the world. The
consideration of seven as being number of
wonderful import is thus as old as the time
of the writers Of the Old Testament.

The First Political Parties.

The two political parties Of the early days
of the republic were Federal and Republican.
The Federal party believed that the United
States should take place among the nat MS
of the world, not as confederacy without u
head, but as a strong nation. The Repu. IL
can party looked on the Union as an aggre-
cation of individual states. The central
figure Of the Federalists, though not their
leader. was Washington; the leaders were
Alexander Hamilton and John Adams. The
leaders # the Republican party were Jeffer-
son., Madison, Calhoun, Grundy and others.

In an article on preparing butterflies for
the cabinet, in recent issue Of La Nature,
occurs some opportune points about the deli
cate operation of spreading the wings so as
to give the specimens the final attitude they
are to preserve in the collection. This atti-
tude ought to somewhat recall that of flight,
in which the wings are extended horizontally
to permit of the four being seen in their en-
tirety.
The apparatus for this purpose consists es-
sentially of block of soft, light wood hav-
ing a shallow groove in the center This
groove, which varies in width according to
circumstances, and is three-fourths inch in
depth, is provided at the bottom with strip
of cork or elder pith, and is designed to re-
ceive the body of the butterfly. On each
side of the groove the wood slopes very
slightly upward. The wood should be very
carefully bounced, smoothed and even pol
ished, to prevent the delicate wings of the
insect from being scratched

A Barrel for Q Souvenir.

When one sees friend off to Europe
this year the approved farewell souvenir
is barrel Of behring's. Not a very big
barrel, just large enough to hold very
comfortably in lady's hand. and not
real behring's at that; papier mache or
composition herrings done in low relief
on the head of the barrel. They are very
realistic herrings, however, and in spite
of their diminutive size it takes second
glance to assure you that they are not
the real things. The herring barrels are
CONNECTION boxes and hold bonbons for
the voyage. They are popular just now.
