NOTES ON WOMEN.

BARONESS GRIPENBURG is member
of the school board of Helsingfors. Un-
married women and widows have had
the municipal suffrage in Finland since
1879.
1.-The Story Of an African Farm" is
regarded as one of the most powerful
novels issued for long time. 1t is the
more remarkable as being the first word
of its author, Miss Olive Schreiner.
AN interesting figure in the American
colony of London is Mrs. Ernestine L.
Rose. She was one OF the first Ameri-
can women to publicly voice the cause
of woman's rights. She lived many
years in New York, and as early as
1886 addressed the State Legislature in
person on women's enfranchisement.
Mrs. OrTENDoRFER, whose husband
edits the great German paper Of New
York, the Stats Ztitung, is described
as a woman OF remarkable business
ability. Many persons believe that the
building up of the paper was chiefly
due to her. She was the widow OF the
founder of the paper, Mr.. Uhl, when
Mr.. 0tten6orfer married her, and for
many years afterwards she not only
managed all its business affairs, but did
a great deal of the Office work with her
own HANDS 1t was only when she had
grown old and could no longer work
that she gave it up

The Bread Winner.

1t is conceded that man is the ''bread
winner" but how often do we see him
delegating his duties to his already
overburdened wife, and spending all of
his time in the saloon. But woman
must not be allowed to vote against the
institution that is taking the bread from
her children's mouths, and robbing her
of all she holds most dear. "Can a
woman pay enough attention to polit-
ical matters to inform herself sufficient
ly to cast an intelligent ballot without
neglecting her homer" It seems the
bread winners can and do take time to
read the papers to inform themselves,
and we are informed .'that woman is
weaker physically il not mentally, than
man." Now should she put in more
hours of drudgery than her stronger
husbandP If weaker physically she
needs rest, and If mentally she should
study to be a fitting mate for her more
intelligent lord. 1t is ridiculous to as
sert that our American wives and
mothers have not as much intelligence
as many of our foreign born brothers
who are landing on our shores, many
of them unable to read Yet they take
out naturalization papers, march up to
the polls and vote-just as somebody
else tells them to. Also the colored
man, who is obliged to make his mark
for his signature, marches boldly up
aad casts his ballot; but the women of
our beloved country haven't intelli-
gence enough to vote, although hum
dreds and thousands ei them are cccu-
pying high positions in our schools and
colleges.
Girls, take the advice of friend and
prepare yourselves for that duty in life
for which by nature you are best adapt
ed, whether it be brain work or to labor
with your hands. Do your duty faith
fully, and learn to be self-supporting,
and if the "bread winner" comes along
who is worthy of you it is WE'LL but
marry no man for home Western

THE USE OF KNOWLEDGE.

What is to Be Achieved by study and Edu-
quired Learning.
What will you do with it? is the ques-
tion that involuntarily arises when one
pauses in the midst of all the sunshine
and roses of June, to watch 1.-THE glad
girl faces, sweet and fair" that emerge
in long professions from our colleges.
What will you do with it-all this
treasure of learning, this patient, quiet
work of years-all that is gathered Of
specific information, and all that indie
finable culture and grace that arise
from well-disciplined faculties? For
the end of learning is not learning itself,
after all. This knowledge is a means
TO higher end than itself. It is porta-
Bile and adjustable force, made ready
for application. 1t is the tuning of the
instrumental these years of college
life-but when they are ended, when
the instrument is attueed to its highest
and sweetest tones, there remains the
melody to be played-the end for which
all the tuning was given. What shall
be this melody of life? How great shall
be its compass, how wide its carrying
power, and what of its suggestiveness,
its inspiration to the rank of workers
in the world? What will you do with
it? all this treasure of knowledge you
have stored away. For no on liveth ts

hinder the society and the age in which
you live That was a very true wort

of tobacconists. They know that the
soil and climate of Cuba will not pro-
duce light cigar tobacco any better
than any other. When nature pro-
duces tobacco light in color it is un-
suited for cigars, is a well-known fact
the world over. This is the rule that
nature herself has made, and when you
get a pale color you may know that the
tobacco has been doctored and unfit in
richness and aroma for delicious
smoke. The great crop of Havana
tobacco is dark; the coming crop will,
in all probability, be dark also; and if
the dealers do not bestir themselves
and enter into the work of converting
their misguided customers they will
imperil their trade in the finer grades
of cigars. The Havana tobacco excels
all other for cigars. The Mexican
and Manila weeds are favorites for
cheroots. The Kentucky tobacco is in
termediate in character. The tobacco
of Virginia is the best for pipe smok-
ing, while that from Maryland is
used for the cheaper grades of cigars" "

man Clarke at the memorial meeting
OF the Historical Society, that every

carries verdure with it, by the growth
Of thought and character of those

without carrying that kind of personal
influence which a good and wise man
always produces. There is food for
consideration in these words-there is
a depth of truth that invites study and
invites application to our own lives.
The potency of personal influence is
greater than we dream. And we can no
more escape exercising it than we can
escape from our shadow. For good or
for i'll its work is wrought. Is there
not in this truth, then, an answer sug-
gested as to what shall be done with
knowledge acquiredp If it never find
expression in special achievement--and
that is matter determined by temper
ament and circumstance-it may find
expression in character. The woman
who acquires knowledge and from that
its finer inhorescence, culture; who
lives the daily life that is noble, gen.
erous, and which has that only safe
guard of elevated living, the quality
of spirituality, of personal holiness;
the woman who is this, is living
influence of good. II the young wo-
| men graduates achieve greatness of
character with their learning, then, in
deed, do they use it wisely. "Be a gift
and a benediction," says Emerson.
Learn the sweetness of helping others;
the beauty of all generous, high and
gracious living; the largeness of SYM
pathy, the claim of devotion to noble
ideals. And remembering all this we
find its complete significance in the
words concerning that one Perfect life
that "came not to be ministered unto
but to minister" All, if one could but
realize in her daily life such an ideal as
Lowell images in these lines:
$50 circled lives she with Loves holy light
That from the shade Of self she walketh free;
The garden OF her soul still keepeth she
An Eden where the snake did never enter;
She has natural wise sincerity,
simple truthfulness, and these have lent her
dignity as moveless as the center;
So that no influence Of earth can stir
Her steadfast courage, nor can take away
The holy peacefulness, which, night and day,
Unto her queonly soul doth minister"
To realize this beauty would surely
answer for us all the question as to
what shall be done with intellectual
treasure or spiritual aspiration. Lillian

ADVICE TO SMOKERS.
Buy Small Boxes and DO Not Select
Light-Colored Cigars.

Buy Small Boxes and DO Not select
Light-Colored Cigars.
"Have you noticed the change that
has come over the trade respecting the
standard cigar boxP" asked a leading
dealer of a reporter recently. Not
very many years ago the standard box
held one hundred cigars, Now the
standard holds but fifty, and the still
smaller box holding but twenty-five is
rapidly pushing to the front. Is this
not accounted for on the principle that
as nations become more civilized the
coins in use become sub-divided to
meet the demands of more diversified
trade? May it not come from a lean
ing towards fresh cigar? When one
man attempts to consume a box con-
tanning one hundred cigars he finds the
last row too dry, and hence his change
to the fifty or the twenty-five box.
But" continued the dealer, "if the
wholesale and retail tobacconists of
this country do not soon awake from
their long sleep they will wake up
some fine morning and find that their
trade in costly Havana cigars is in
great peril and the work they are now
refusing to do will be many times
harder when the critical point is
reached. The point in question is that
foolish freak of nature, the insane
fashion for light-colored cigars, and
without one word of comment or ex-
phantom the tobacconists have been
catering to that silly whim. Matters
have gone from bad to worse, until
whole crops of tobacco have been
ruined in the endeavor to supply some
thing that nature would not produce.
In the tobacco growing districts of
Cuba the crops have been cut long be-
fore maturity, and as natural conse-
quence very inferior tobacco was the
result. The consumer still asks for
Iight-colored cigars, and at the same
time condemns the inferior quality of
later-day tobacco, that, nine times out
Of ten, has been spoiled in order to
satisfy his craving for pale cigar.
This is all wrong, and it is within
the power of the retailer to counteract
this tendency on the part of the con-
sumer and bring him to a realizing sense
of his own danger. 1t is needless to
lav down a SGT Of rules for the guidance

THE WESTERN SOUDAN.
A French Officers Description of II Wiit
Night i'm wild Land.

A French Officers Description of Wild
Night in a wild Land.
A French commanding officer in
portion of the Western Soudan, over
which France has recently extended its
protection, has written a book descrip-
tive of his experiences in that region,
entitled Campaigning in Upper Sene-
gal and on the Upper Niger" He
thus describes night spent by his
command in that wild region:
"On the night of the first of January,
1886, we camped at Toukolo. The
temperature had suddenly fallen to ten
degrees centigrade-fifty degrees Fab
renheit After the extreme heat of the
day, we felt a sensation of cold. All
around and within the camp immense
fires were lighted, the rays from which
illuminated, with red glare, the trop-
ical foliage of the trees and the out
lines of the sentinels on guard. About
these fires, like so many phantoms, the
soldiers were lying and sitting, their
bodies wrapped in their tent cloth.
about two hundred natives, of all
ages, mostly women, who had been set
at liberty and were following the expe-
dition, were shivering about the outer
line of fires. Almost totally unclad,
they were without protection against
the cold, and many of them coughed
pitifully. Now clasping their children
to their breasts to keep them warm,
and now holding them out toward the
half-extinguished fires, they made a
weird spectacle. Not far away were
some Arab horses. In the morning
they had been superb specimens OF
vigor, but they were now stricken
down by the terrible and mysterio us
malady which carries off all horses in
the Upper Sc negal. AS they stretched
themselves out with trembling limbs,
they looked up imploringly, seeming to
beg for assistance from their masters.
1.-The night had scarcely set in when
a score of hippopotami surrounded the
camp-fires, drawn by the curiosity
which the native hunters attribute tC
these animals, and which they make
use of to lure them into traps and pit
falls. About midnight roar so terri
BILE burst in upon us that it seemed to
come in from the midst of the camp,
From several points in the distance
other roars were heard responding II
was the signal for a terrific tumult
produced by the cries of Thousand
wild animals, and by the shrill clamol
of five or six hundred native auxilia.
ries charged with the duty of guarding
our cattle. They sought to drive ava,
the lions which menaced the camp b,
shrieking at the tops of their voices
All night long the dismal roaring ant
howling of these ferocious animals
marching up and down ceaselessl,
around our camp, went on; all nigh
long the fearful clamor of our nativ,
guards continued, now rising, now fall
ing, according to the degree of vic
lenoe of the roaring OF the animals; an,
if for a moment this tunIult ceased
we heard a melancholy chorus of sob
and groans from the slaves in ou
camps, and the moaning of the sicl
horses.
at was wild night in a savag,
land, and made an experience whicl
we shall never forget. " Youths Com
