What Suffrage Will Do.

Woman suffrage will, because 1t will
treat woman as an individual, give her
her natural rights, make her socially
the equal OF man, ask for her thoughts
and consider them. This will help
greatly to ennoble woman, and secure
from man more respect, more reverence,
and therefore truer love. Whatever
makes woman more free and independ-
ent, and recognizes her equality with
man, will tend TO purify all the rea-
tons between them. Perfect freedom
and equality are needed 10 make these
relations what they should be. In
equality and lack of freedom are tempta-
tions and hinderances to true love, pure
marriage and noble home. To be
truly one in all respects, one in mind
and will as well as one in heart, the
wife as well as the husband must think
and have will OF her own, with abso-
Lutte freedom to express both thoughts
and will, and TO make them count.
Then can the higher and truer union
come. With larger freedom comes al
ways good, and sometimes also evil
With larger freedom there must be
more of conscience. But perfect free
dom is necessary to bring forth the
highest and best fruits in man or home
or society.
Not only, therefore, must woman suf-
frage come, not only is ii a right which
it were vain, as it is wrong, to deny,
but. as in the case of all previous ey-
tensions of freedom, we may rest as
sured that, though there be temporary
evils in its train, on the whole its result
will be grandly, nobly good. Womdas

people were when the common law was
evolved, are all abandoned except those that
pertain to the administration of justice. An

circumstance that judges in that country
still wear wigs in trying cases, says that il
furnishes evidence that there is less progress
In law than in any pursuit to which men OF

now outside court room. Our Judges dc
not wear wigs, but they hold fast to practices
that have long been abandoned in Great

there, and many more appeals to higher
courts are taken English courts, it is said

Rope Power Transmission.

Large electric light stations have given a
distinct impetus to the use of wire, hemp, or
cotton rope running at high speed over a
grooved wheel instead Of leather betting ON
nat faced pullies. Among the advantages
Claimed for the rope transnitters is economy
the rope costing about one thirteth as much
as the leather belt, while the former obviates
the noise at high speeds, is very much lighter
in weight, demands little attention compared
with belt. The latter requires man in the
business to put one on right, and sometimes
they don't always do it right. any deviation
out Of line of the shafting affects the belt.

Cards, hand bills and alluring advertise

often SO strong as to stop at no means to
reach its end; and the pernicious practice Of
arsenic eating is spreading. 1t should be
known that there is always danger in it. No
dose is 80 small, no combination of arsenic SO
ingenious as to be harmless; and the end
sought-that pearly white complexion SO
much admired by those who do not know its

whiteness is caused by loss of capillary circu-

and sides, except the door, are made out of
one piece, divided into sections by shaping,

bottles of different colors and shades, or of
cheap, colored tumblers make excellent
disks, which are cut round with u diamond
glass cutter, aud inserted in holes prepared
FOR the purpose.
The sheets Of brass or zinc may have been
previously hammered, cut and perforated SO

dying birds, or insects-and are readily
stamped out by pattern. The floor of the
