taken place at Washington. In the heat Of
the civil war women were appointed to clerk
ships, and the system grew so rapidly that
they now greatly outnumber male clerks in
many divisions, especially in the treasury
department. Almost every state now em-
ploys women as clerks, and many large post
offices; they are eligible as clerks of legisla-
lures, state librarians, and in many charit-
able and educational boards. But as to the
simple matter Of voting, there seems to be no
progress to compare with that which was
noticeable in the five years following the
war.
In France more women are employed in
responsible and public places, especially as
cashiers and clerks, than in any other coun-
] try: set fhare is no demand for the ballot.
and they are profoundly Indifferent to all
appeals on the subject. In Germany, every
thing is subordinated to the military spirit.
THE drudgery is done by women and dom
keys; men and horses are saved for war;"
says one satirist. There is little or no inter-
est in the ballot. In Russia, the most desper-
ate Nlhllists are women; but in that country
reform is treated as treason. In SwitZer-
Land, Italy and the northern countries of Eu-
rope, there is freedom Of discussion, and
feeble movements for the advancement Of
women. In England, however, the cause
has advanced slowly and regularly for
nearly century. Mary Wollstonecraft pub
lished her noted work in 1871, and Frances
Wright disseminated the same views in the
United States. John Stuart Mill elevated
the discussion to higher plane, and the
laws have steadily improved in favor Of
women. In parliament two-ffths vote for
woman suffrage has repeatedly been OBJ
tained. On the last occasion the vote stood
$50 against 152. In conclusion it may be
said that the ladies who will meet at Wash
ington have much in recent history to en-
courage them; but history shows the curious
fact that woman's rights advance for long
eras and then recede. It is an unquestionable
fact that the women of Homer:s day enjoyed
more freedom than the Greek women of st.
Pagrs time, and as much as Greek women do
today. The same may be said of Roman and
Italian women, while the German women of
racitus were certainly nearer equal to their
husbands than those of 1885,

little Hattie Rosburg, aged Z, in her arms.
The child became delirious, and between her
sobs came the pitiful appeal: ''Oh, I'm SO
cold, mamma; please cover me up" an ap-
peal which rent the heart of the faithful
teacher. At daylight the little girl died. At
6 O'clock in the morning Miss -Ruycc 1pzzchc1e
shelter, both feet and her left arm and hand
being frozen. Both of her feet have since
been amputated at the ankles. It is believed
her arm will be saved. Though unsuccess-
full in her efforts to save the lives of her little
charges, Loie Royce did the best she could,
and the angels could do no more.
Another heroine is Miss Minnie Freeman,
who was teaching school in the Mira Val
ley district. near Ord, Neb. The pupils were
wrought up to the highest pitch of excite
1nent by the fury of the storm. In the midst
of the teachers assurance that all would be
well, terrible gust of wind struck the build
ing, the windows ratified, the house shook
and the door of the structure was torn from
it's hinges. It was then the young teacher
realized the necessity of preparing for emer-
gencies With an exhibition of rare judg-
ment she gathered her little brood together,
and, securing coil of strong, heavy twine,
began with the largest ones and tied the chill
dren together by the arms and bodies, three
abreast. This completed. she huddled her

the amputation of Miss Shattuck's feet be-
came necessary, and it was found she would
have no way in which to earn livelihood,
the Heroine fund rapidly increased,
and at the date Of the noble girls
death $3,752.01 had been paid for
her benefit. Miss Shattuck's father is
veteran Of the late war, and by reason of
wounds received in the service he is incapac-
itated for labor. The family was dependent
upon the earnings Of their brave daughter,
and the above named amount, together with
about 81 600 more from The Bees special
fund, is to be paid to the parents of the un-
fortunate girl A prominent jeweler of San
Francisco sent q handsome gold watch to
Miss Freeman. The chain IS wrought in
semblance Of q. rope, as a reminder Of the
means by which she led precious lives from
peril to safety. Already the fund for Miss
Royce has reached 81, 1000, and it is hoped the
amount may be increased to such a figure
that the interest will provide for her during
the rest of her life.

nearly all disunionists. A few more fol

In 1865 Mr.. Locke first became connected
with The Toledo Blade, at first OH salary,
then as part and afterward as sole owner.
In Toledo, O., after his years Of rowing, he
pitched his tent for a permanent residence,
and there he acquired o fortune represented
by the value Of his paper and of score of
business and residence buildings He made
several trips to Europe wrote books in prose
and verse, and for fifteen years lectured
every winter while still transacting his other
business. He also wrote number Of plays,
which were, in measure, successful. In
one year he erected nearly $500, 600 worth of
home of The Blade.
During the latter portion of his life Mr.
Locke prepared his copy himself with a type
writer, but his interlineations and erasures
after the copy left the machine were many,
and every one of his later Nasby letters and
his .tPulverize the Rum Power editorials
were characteristic autographs of the man.
During the present year it became evident
to Mr.. TonG,n nc we'll nc fo hic family nnd

health failed further, and the editorial
management almost wholly deyolved upon

Bra an on the Farm.

Professor Brown, of the Ontario Agri-
cultural college at Guelph, Can, recently
summed up the usefulness of bran to
farmers, after having carefully considered
its chemical composition:

though variable in composition, possesses
high nutritive value.

age, richer than old process bran.
