Woman's Vote.

It has been said that a woman's vote
would be Ineffective because Of her lack
of physical force. The best proof in
this case is experience. Two hundred
thousand women in England have mu-
nicipal suffrage; they have had it for
nearly twenty years. and their votes
have repeatedly turned the scale ut
municipal elections in favor of temper
ance and other moral considerations.
In every case the woman's votes were
as effective as if they had been cast BY
men, and the result of the election was
as decisive. In Wyoming the women
have had full suffrage since 1869, and
have often defeated bad candidates.
but there has never been any attempt
to upset the result Of the election by
force. Neither have any Of the pre-
dicted bad results followed. such as in
jury to womanly delicacy, loss of So
cial consideration. destruction of home
influence. etc-Alice Stone Blackwell,

AMERICAN MINERALS.
The Output Of 1887 the Largest Ever
Reached by Any Country.

The Output of 1887 the Largest Ever
Reached by Any Country.
Advance proofs of the volume ..Min-
e-al Resources of the United States"
to be issued by the Division OF Mining
Statistics of the Geological Survey,
show that the mineral output of the
United States in 1887. had in asgre-
gate value of $3.50. 056.345. This is the
largest total ever reached by the
mineral industries OF any country. 1t
is nearly $73,O00.O00 more than the
product of the United States in 1886,
and considerably more than 800. 0OO,-
900 in excess Of the year 1885. OF many
items which have contributed to this
result it is noted that all the metals in
creased in quantity, except gold and
the minor metal nickel, and nearly all
increased in price. The significance of
this is seen in the increase in produc-
ton OF the fuels necessary for reducing
these metals and preparing them for
use. All OF these fuels, inct.Iding IA
tural gas, show a marked increase.
The increased value of buiIding-stone
is principally due to a more careful
canvass OF the industry than has beer
possible In tie previous years. 1t is not
probable that the great total recorded
for 1887 will be equaled in the year,
1888.
The following table shows the metal
lie products of the United States in
1887:

Of com-nendable pluck, but, am happy
to say, is not often necessary to tho

for herself a most enduring monument

has almost ceased to be q matter Of

are rapidly increasing In numbers

fashion there for women to own their

that which is Of the most interest to me
in this subject is the fact that, to very
much greater extent than formerly,
widows who take farm lands as part

no longer a curiosity. think ann

the same is true of Minnesota In many

A great many letters start of with q
sentence to the effect that: Il take my
pen in hand to let you know that 1 am
well, and hope this letter finds you az
well as it leaves me-" Some letters ad-
dressed to prominent men show an
amazing amount of ignorance. Last
February, when Charles Dickens was in
this country reading selections from his
fathers works, a letter directed to him
at New York failed to reach him. II
read something like this:
DEAR SR-Enclosed please nnd six cents in

There are cranks who come to light
here. too. One man in Chicago, evil
IDENTIFY crazy, has for years been sending

APPEALS FOR MONEY.
Appeals to prominent men for money
are also numerous here. They all
reach the dead-letter Office from being
misdirected; and one can no: help but
admire the nerve of a person who
writes to George W. Childs for a small
matter of 81, 600 or 81 900, and through
ignorance addresses his letter to New
York or Chicago.
A few figures as TO the amount of
work done here during the fiscal year
just ended may prove interesting. In
round figures. the whole number of let
tiers received during the year was
6,O00.OOO. Of these, 100000 were
sent here because they were not called
for at the post-oifices to which they
were directed, 100000 were returned to
post-otiices by kotel-keepers and thence
sent to the dead letter Office. because
the departed guests for whom they
were intended failed 20 leave new adj
dress, 100000 were sent here because
they Were insufiiciently prepared for
mailing, 1900 because they contained
articles forbidden to be transported
in the mails, 500, 900 because they were
enormously or illegibly addressed,
and 10000 because they bore no super
scriptiOn whatever. The number of
parcels of merchandise, books, cloth

during the year was about $4,000. The
number OF dead letters and samples of

was 100000. These are I'll returned to

petus by the abundant success of Miss
Austin, now Mrs. Blachley. who has
been leading spirit in a company
formed some ten years ago for the pur-
pose Of fruit-growing and raisin-
making. The company consisted of four
school-teachers, who put their small
earnings together and bought one hun
dred acres Of uncultivated lands near
Fresno village. Two of the girls con-
tinued teaching, and the other two. Miss
Austin and Miss Hatch. went energeti-
cally to work on the land so purchased.
They employed help for the harder
work. but q great deal Of the lighter
work was done by their own hands.
They learned their business as they
worked. and spared no pains to master
all the details, from the planting Of the
vine all through the cultivation. the
picking of the fruit. the evaporating.
the packing and boxing and shipping.
etc. The company Is known as the
Hedge-row Vineyard Company. and
their raisins are labeled the Austin
brand. They have now q large
business, shipping many tons Of the
very best raisins yearly. Thus an
encouraging example has been set
before California women, and now
many are doing well for them
selves and their families by this kind
Of work, and many moro are just maxi

that il industry. energy and economy
