AN APPEAL TO LEGISLATORS.
Plea fo,' Careful Cons liberation OF the
Political Rights of women.

Plea TO-, u Careful Cons liberation OF the
Political Rights of Women.
The question of political rights for
women in some form will come before
several Legislatures this winter Lei
me appeal to them to consider the case
once more before they vote on it. Re
member the disadvantage of the posi-
tion of women. They have no Sena-
tors or Representatives elected by them
selves to look after their interests.
They are never members of the Legls-
,ature, and hence have no vote or pow
or 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 OF
simple citizen, is manipulated and set
tied by men, without so much as "by
your leave" The heaviest penalty OF
the law, as well as its lightest sentence,
is imposed upon women. They may
bc 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 10
have his mother, sister or daughter so
situated is one Of the strange things
that can be accounted for only by the
love of power and the selfshness which
the possession of power creates
al, says the man VINO votes against
the equal rights of women. twill have
the right TO vote to help elect the men
who are to make the laws | shall be
required TO obey. But the women
shall have no such right. They shall
not have the right to help elect the men
who are to make the laws they will be
required to obey" IL" says the man
who votes against the equal rights of
women, ''will have vote to help elect
the assessors who will levy on my
property for taxes. will have vote
for the men who will have the spend
ing of the money pay in taxes. But
women shall have no such right. They
shall not help elect the assessors who
will levy on their property. nor vote
for the men who will have the spending
Of the money they pay in taxes"
How unnatural and monstrous such
a position will look in coming time!
How unworthy and cruel it 10 now!
But this is the condition that legis-
lators year after year. impose upon
women. Is it not time that all this
should be changedp Is IL not time
that this undemocratic. unrepublic-
an, non-representative government
should return to first principlesp
The Bill of Rights aifirms that "the
|people have the sole and exclusive
fright of governing themselves " Hal
the people" are women. For th'
bake Of justice and fair play. and fol

Marvellous Adventure Of n Blind and Par
alyxed Young Woman.
The Volkszeft,Rg of the city OF Tflsit
Prussia, reports: A girl of twenty-five
has been left blind and paralyzed by .
fever. She had consulted . number of
physicians and had heen under treatment
at the hospital of the University at
Koenig sberg. One day the poor patient
was sitting alone in her room, when an
unknown individual entered and seized
both her hands. She was frightened and
attempted to knock with her chair to call
for her family, when the intruder made
her feel broad knife, telling her he would
stab her II she made the slightest noise.
How long he held the patient in that
manner IL not stated. On leaving her he
said he would leave an explanatory paper
in the loft upon which her room opened.
Immediately after the girl heard . noise
like tho cracking of burning wood and
smelled smoke filing her room She gave
the alarm, and her parents ran upstairs.
They found small fire in the loft, but it
was easily ertinguishod. Whsn they
entered the room they found the girl In q
great fright, but were most joyfully sur
prised when she opened her eyes and
could see them. She could also move ker
limbs little aud there is good hope now
OF her entire recovery. They found the
paper the strange visitor had said he
would leave, but there was nothing writ

Church Dedicated by a Woman.

The Protestant Methodist Church OF
Canton, Kan, lately erected a hand
some new church building, and in
vitod Rev. Annie II. Shaw to dedi-
cate it They asked her whether she
could not also help them to raise the
five-hundred dollar debt on the
church. Miss Shaw said she had no
experience in raising money, but she
would do what she could. According
ly, when she came to speak. she told
the people that she should not think of
offering any friend gift with a mort
gage on it. and she thought the debt
of five hundred dollars ought to be
paid of before they offered that
church to God. J e 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-
Gated by woman.

USEFUL AND SUGGESTIVE.

TO have poached eggs look very
nice, cook each egg in a muffin ring
placed in the bottom Of q saucepan Of
boiling water.
Exercise enough to make rest de-
lightful is good; sufficient to make one
toss wearily and sleeplessly through
the night hours is wasteful and ex.
haustive.
Graham Griddle Cakes: One pint
Graham flour into which has been well
mixed two teaspoonfuls of baking-pow-
der and a Tablespoonful of salt;
make thin batter with sweet milk and
cook in thin cakes on Q sospstone
griddle Good Cheer.
TO one hundred pounds Of meat
take six pounds of salt. two pounds
dark-brown sugar and one-half ounce
saltpeter Mix and rub the meat thor
oughly and lay in tubs; let stand two
days, then rub again, and this time lay
on boards and let lay three weeks then
smoke.
Tea Cake: One even cup white
sugar, one-half cup butter, two eggs
Beat these until they are creamy, then
add good half-cup cold water and
two cups flour, two teaspoonfus bak-
ing-powder, one teaspoonful lemon;
beat thoroughly. Bake in long tin,
and cut while warm in squares.
Fried Whole Potatoes: Peel the
potatoes and boil in salted water; re-
move from the fire as soon as done, 50
that they will remain whole; have
ready one beaten egg and some bread
and cracker crumbs, then dip the pota-
toes first in the egg. then in the crumbs,
and fry to light brown. Old pota-
toes can be cooked this way.
This 10 the way to cure dried beef.
For every twenty pounds of beef take
pint of salt, teaspoonful of salt
peter, a quarter of a pound of brown
sugar. Mix well together, divided in
three equal parts, and rub well with
one-third Of IL for three successive days.
Let il lie on the dish in the pickle it
makes, and in six days it will be ready

Corn Soup.-One can sweet corn,
one pint and half of milk; -four, one
tablespoon; butter, one tablespoon;
egg. one; salt, one teaspoon; celery,
one sprig; pepper Heat the sweet
corn and celery slowly in the milk till
it reaches the boiling point Rub but
ter and -four together and add to the

Good Cheer.
Cocoanut Cake: Two cups of sugar.
three cups of flour, two thirds of cup
of butter, one cup of sweet milk, the
white of five eggs, two teaspoonfuls of

ing for the above cake: Take one pint
of sweet milk. half a cup of sugar, one
egg, three teaspoonfuls of corn starch,
and cook thoroughly. Stir in this one
gra ed cocoanut and spread between
the cakes.
In making wafiles never put sugar
in the batter, as it causes them to be
heavy and tough. They should be beat
en- thoroughly and made quickly. The
batter should be made very thin. Take
one pint of buttermilk, one teaspoon
full of soda. one tablespoonful of melted
butter one teacup of flour. the yolks OF
four eggs and a small pinch of salt; beat
the whites separately to froth and
add them the last thing. Have tho
waffle tins well creased and very hot,
pour In the batter and bake brown.
When taken up spread with butter and
sift with sugar, if preferred.
