THEN AND NOW.

Tho Improvement In womAn's Condition
In the Last Century.
In Washington's time women had
scarcely any rights or opportunities out
of the domestic circle A married wo.
man was a legal nonentity. The hus-
band was the legal guardian of the
wife. or rather he possessed all the
rights of both. In law the twain were
one. and that one was the husband.
To-day wife is in many respects .
distinct, independent being in law. She
may acquire. hold. convey and will
property. She may engage in business,
carry on trade. make contracts. She
may sue and be sued, may enforce her
rights and defend them.
Both married and unmarried women
have acquired political rights. In GER
tain territories suffrage equal to that
enjoyed by men has been conferred on
them. In some States they may vote
for certain officers and hold certain
Offices. Everywhere there is a grow
ing tendency to enlarge the political
rights of all women as there is to en-
large the civil rights of married women.
Still more striking has been the open
ing of vast and varied sphere for the
occupation of women. In literature
they have come to the front in large
numbers. In trade and industry count
less thousands are employed. They
and factory. Alarge proportion of the
sex have ceased to be dependents. They
have become wage-earners and SELF
supporters. They are respected and
honored for battling with the neces-
sites of life and earning their own
livelihood. And this vast army OF en-
ployed women and girls is destined to
increase with every coming year.-N.

WOMEN AND THEIR WORK.

The State of Connecticut has a law
which exempts all honorably discharged
soldiers and sailors in the State from
paying taxes on 81, 900 worth of prop
erty.
WOMEN are at last permitted to prac-
tice medicine in Canada, and the first
to receive license is Miss Mitchell. of

DIR. JENNIE MCCOwEN. of Iowa, has
been unanimously elected president of
the Davenport Academy of Science-a
rare honor for a woman. The retiring
president declared that in resigning the
chair ''he did so with peculiar pleasure
to one whom he felt to be in every way
competent worthily to fill the official
position"
DIR. SARAH j. MILLsOP. of Bowling

The city charter of Detroit having
been amended to allow women to vote
for school officers, a bill was immedi-
ately passed forbidding boards of reg

EDUCATIONAL EQUALITY.
Reasons For Advancing Women In School
Positions.

Reasons For Advancing Women In School
Positions.
The controlling reason for placing
women on boards of education is the
fact that they are less selfish than men.
The curse of the race is selfishness,
and there can be no regeneration of So
ciety until this vice of the age is burned
and purged away by education.
1t may be said fiippantly that sell
fishness is necessary to the preserva-
ton of the individual. and that altru-
ism is only an idle dream of the opti-
mist. But it is the sternest of all stern
facts of historic analysis. that in the
deadly grip of selfishness all the an
cient civilizations persisted
1t is time for Americans to realize
that there is something better than the
Greek worship of beauty, better than
the Roman lust of power. better than
the greed of the English. And this
better thing lie right. truth. Justice
justice to all men. and to all women.
But this jewel of great price is not to
be picked up by chance in the market
place, nor found like mama in the viii
derness.
First of all. it is not to be secured
without the aid Of woman. She must
no longer be degraded; the theory OF
her infer;ority must be abandoned as
rubbish; her equal interest with man
in all the worlds affairs must be fully
and frankly admitted. Conceded the
right TO life. liberty and the pursuit Of
happiness, she must be taken into the
absolute confidence of society. and in
vited to keep step with man in the
~ork Of molding its destinie-, And

Puffer (the well-known critic)-Iun-

herself in the last act.

COORDINATE HUMANITY.

No Sex of the Mind-What the Evolution
of Society is Realizing.
In the evolution of society, says Rev.
Joseph B. Cottrell, d. d., in the WO-
mans journal. there have been revolu-
tions, but all upon the heaven-ordained
axis and within the divinely appointed
sphere. That marks the individuality
of humanity as coordinate with the
ranks of intelligence, beneath and
above. He that breaketh hedge
shall be bitten by serpent" but the
field of human privilege and enterprise
must be enlarged in spite ofthe snakes
Let us candidly inquire whether It is
wisest and most just to hinder or to
help the movement now being made on
behalf of co-ordinating women with
men all along the lines Of industrial.
social, educational. governmental and
religious engagements.
There is no sex in mind. Examples
are SO numerous of the capabilities Of
woman in every range of intellectual
life that it is unnecessary to discuss this
question. 1t is established that men are
all the greater whose touch and turning
of personality approximate the woman
~ standard. Women are more potent
and effective as they possess those char
acteristics of strength and courage usu-
ally denoted as masculine. The differen-
tiating finger-touch of God has given an
ineffaceable distinction of femininity
from masculinity. so long as humanity
continues in this sublinary environment;
but we are assured that lin the resur-
rection" these will be eliminted. There
is a deeper significance in the words
that in Christ Jesus there is neither
male nor female" that the world of
mind has yet apprehended.
The history, thus far, of our race dis
covers to the observant student that
questions OF precedence have uniformly
been settled according to the rule that
might makes right That women is
ruled out and off from the ways in
which she might develop her powers
more fully. and be at once more indie
pendent of, and helpful to. mankind
than she now is, results simply from
this same fact-might dominates.

stock of humanity, the organic life
