BLESSED ST. VALENTINE.

My love, tho she be fair aad soft
Hath ready wit with tongue or pen;
And this, tho / have marked 1t oft,
Well hath she proved to me again.
For had loved her many day,
Yet could my anxious eyes not see
The smallest sign that might betray
One wish of hers to favor me.
Now good Saint Valentine be blessed,
For he IL was who fred my heart,
When thus the maiden addressed,
In hating lines OF doubtful art:
" 1 love lass and long for Yes
But fear No All day sigh.
Pray help me out of this distress
What would you do II you were IT.
When came her answer, it was writ
In hurried hand. and marked "Post-haste.' "
With heart afiame opened it.
And there these gracious words were
traced: s tHe&nN4
Were a man who loved a lass, oH
And longed for Yes but feared No.
Iwould not let minute pass
Before plumply told her SOP

AN APPEAL TO LEGISLATORS.

A Plea for Careful Consideration Of the
Political Rights OF Women.
The question of political rights for
women in some form viii come before
several Legislatures. this winter. Let
me appeal to them to consider the case
once more before they vote on it. Re-
member the disadvantage of the posi-
ton of women. They have no Sena-
tors or Representatives electedby them
selves to look after their interests.
They are never members of the Legls-
lature,s and hence have.no vote or pow
er to help make the law under which
they may suffer, or to elect those who
will execute it. Every interest and
every right of woman, whether as wife,
widow, mother, property-owner or
simple citizen, is manipulated and set
tied by men, without so much as "by
your leave" The heaviest penalty OF
the law, as we'll as its lightest sentence,
is imposed upon women. They may
be fined, imprisoned, taxed and hung
without any jury trial by their peers,
or any voice In the matter.
Legislators should consider how
dreadful it is to be in such condition.
How any fair-minded man can wish to
have his mother, sister or daughtersso
situated is one of the strange things
that can be accounted for only by the
love of power and the selfishness which
the possession of power creates.

CURE FOR SMALLPOX.
A Simple Remedy Which Was Used During
the Civil War.

n SiHipie tNeneuy Nnich WAS useu Durtn8
the Civil War;
Regarding the remedies for small
pox gentleman who was connected
with the medical and surgical depart
ments during the war says: during
the time intervening between the bat
tie of Stone River, at Murfreesboro,
Tenn, and the Missionary Ridge
conflict on the heights overlooking
Chattanooga, smallpox epidemic
was fright that scared more than it
killed. A largo smallpox hospital was
established at Bridgeport, Ala, and
the average number of inmates was
represented by more than three figures.
But what l wished to arrive at was
this, the deaths were very few and the
treatment was quite simple. We only
gave the patients plenty of ventilation
by raising the sides of the large hos
pital tents, kept their bowels freely
open and gave the men good rations
of English ale, commodity that was
generously supplied by the Christian
Commission of the North and Uncle
Sans Commissary Department.
Il have here also in my pocket-book
q distinguished physicians recipe for
the smallpox. and know it is good,
but l will give it to you, with his own
comments: ~4s p Soc i-t ga
This receipt has been used to my
knowledge in hundreds of cases, and I
know it will prevent or, cure small
pox, though the pittings are filling.
When Jenner discovered the cow-pox
in England, the world of science
hurled an avalanche Of fame upon his
head, but when the most scientific
school of medicine in the world-that
of Paris-published this recipe as a
panacea for smallpox. it passed un-
needed. 1t is unfailing as fate and
conquers in every instance. 1t is
harmless when taken by well-person.
1t will also cure scarlet fever. Here
is the recipe as l have used it and
cured my children of scarlet-fever;
here it is as l have used it to cure small
pox:
"Sulphate of zinc, one grain; fox
glove (digitalis), one grain; half tea
spoonful of sugar; mix with two tea
spoonfuls of water. When thoroughly
mixed add four ounces of water. Take
spoonful every hour. Either disease
viii disappear in twelve hours. For a
child smaller doses. according to age.
If counties would counsel their physi-
clans to use this there would be no
need of pest-houses II you value adj
vice and experience, use this for that
terrible disease. "-Sdn Jose fCaL)

Church Dedicated by a Woman.

The Protestant Methodist Church of
Canton. Kan. lately erected a hand
some new church building. and in
vited Rev. Annie H. Shaw to dedi-
cate it. They asked her whether she
could not also help them to raise the
five-hundreda dollar debt on the
church. Miss Shaw said she had no
experience in raising money. but she
would do what she could. According
", when she came to speak, she told
the people that she should not think of
offering any friend gift with mort
gage on it. and she thought the debt
of five hundred dollars ought to be
paid off before theyt offered that
church to God. The money was raised
then and there. the debt paid of, and
Miss Shaw dedicated church with no
mortgage on it. This is believed to be
the first orthodox church ever dedi-
