Work has commenced in earnest in re-
guttering and recurbing of Douglas
avenue. Hydrants and gas posts are being
moved back into the street four feet on
each side. There is no stone in Kansas fit
for curbs or CUTTERS as this city has most
fully tested No Illuminated stone will
stand alternating wet and dry, frost and
heat. Cement is the only thing that has
proved satisfactory and there is great
chance for fraud IN cement. But that
material properly made and properly laid
answers well, being free from seams and
being smooth and hard.

THE WlFE'S EARNINGS.

lf women Can Earn Money Before They
Are Married. why Not Afterf
When hear woman say that her
husband "gave" her ten cents, or
that he "let her have quarter say
It without blush or apparently u
thought Of her own degradation in be-
ing obliged to say SOL feel ashamed
for womanhood. and almost discour-
aged, 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 hus-
band. that women use these terms
without thought. and most people re-
echo them as thoughtlessly. So few
women value their services as they
ought, they forget that housekecper
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 men, say:
I'm let you have SO much" rs if the
money were any moro his 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 no
account to any one. instead Of each
keeping a strict account of AL money
which should belong equally to them.
1t is well that so many girls and
women earn money before marriage
nowadays; that helps them to ap-
preciate the value Of their labors; but
more is needed yet, and ! 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.--Alura Collins

Charity in Speech-A Recipe.

The best recipe for charity of iudg-

alternating with an equal quantity of
the study of enlightenment. and a
double dose of each to DC simultane-
ously administered after speaking in
an uncharitable manner. previous to
which the mouth should be thoroughly
rinsed with cup Of cold water, taken
in the name of disciple.
II this prescription Is carefully fol-
lowed it will usually effect cure; but.
should it fail, plaster of humility and
an inhaler supplied with the essence
of self-examination is warranted to
complete the desired work. Frances

WOMAN'S DEPARTMENT.
ATTACK ON SENATOR BLAIR.

4 Chicago Lady Takes the Distinguished
IN Suffrage.
A Mrs. C. F. Corbin, Of ChicaGo.
takes Senator Blair to task. in an
''open letter." for advocating woman
suffrage.
Mrs. Corbin says that marriage is .
partnership. and that ''the question is
whether each partner shall keep to
that line OF labor which nature has
marked" This is begging the ques-
tion at the start The precise point At
issue is whether there is any thing
I contrary to nature in woman drop
ping slip Of paper into box. or any
incompatibility between rearing .
family properly and taking an intclli-
gent interest in public questions The
advocates Of woman suffrage believe
that the two things could and should
60 together. The best wife and
mother is the one who can be IN in
telligent companion to her husband
and . broad-minded teacher to her
children.
Mrs. Corbin says that "if women
vote. they must hold Office" She
seems to imply that all women must
hold Office. whether they will or no;
whereas not one voter in q hundred
ever holds Office. and no one is obliged
to take Office against his will. Mrs.
Corbin points out that it would be in
convenient for the mother of young
family to 60 to Congress. Undoubt-
edly. The mother of young family
would not be likely to be asked 10 go
to Congress, and would not be likely
to consent If she were asked. But she
might have very definite idea as to
the sort Of man she wanted to send to
Congress to represent her and her chill.
drcn; and there is no reason why her
opinion should not be counted, along
with those of her husband, father and
brother. Many men are occupied with
engrossing business cares which would
make it inconvenient for them to 60 tc
Congress; and they do not 60. Bn'
they do not lose their votes on that &C.
count. House mothers would simply
belong in the same category.
Mrs. Corbin SAYS:
"The direct tendencv Of woman suf.
frage would be to form such class oi
