inconsistent Women.

Indeed, one of the laughable incon-
sistencies in the position of the remon-
strants, on both sides of the ocean, is
that they are represented by women
who are active in politics. and in many
cases office-holders and office-seekers.
The very women. who deprecate ''drag-
ging women to the polls" are often Off
GERS in all sorts of public organizations.
managers of meetings, subscribers to
campaign funds. canvassers for favorite
candidates, and lobbyists for special
legislation. They are wives and mothers
all the same. and do not seem to compre-
hend what Wendell Phillips would have
called their GLORIOUS inconsistency"

Locomotives Run BY Soda.

Four locomotives, to be run by soda.
which takes the place of fire under the
boiler. have been built in Philadelphia
They are for service on the streets of
Minneapolis, Mimi, where steam en-
gines are forbidden. The engine is
about sixteen feet long, entirely boxed
in, with no visible smoke-stack or
pipes, and there is no exhaust or re-
fuse. The boiler is of copper, eighty
four and half inches in diameter aud
fifteen feet long, having tubes running
through it as in steam boilers. Inside
the boiler will be placed five tons of
soda, which, upon being damped by a
jet of steam. produces an intense heat.
In about six hours the soda is tho
roughly saturated, when the action
ceases. A stream of superheated
steam from a stationary boiler is then
forced through the soda, which drives
out the moisture, and the soda is
ready for use again. The exhaust
steam from the cylinder is used to
saturate the soda. and by this means
all the refuse is used. These engines
are the first of their kind that have
been built in this country. They will
have the same power as those used on
the New York elevated roads.-In-

HOW GLUCOSE is MADE.

description Of the Process Of an Inter
esttng Industry. &
Inc process of making glucose will
be best understood by following the
corn from the time it enters the fac
tory until it runs out at a spigot, q
clear odorless liquid. The shell corn
Is hrst soaked for several DAYS in
water to soften the hull and prepare it
ior the cracking process. The softened
corn Is conveyed by elevators to one
OF the highest stories of the factory
ana shoveled into large hoppers, from
which it passes into mills which mere
~ crack the grains without reducing
them at once to fine meal. The
cracked grain is then conducted to q
large tank filled with rinsing water.
Ihe hulls of the corn float at the top
OF the water. the germs sink to the
bottom and the portions of the grain
containing the starch. becoming grad
ually reduced to -four by friction. are
held In solution in the water By an
lngenlus process both the hulls and
the germs are removed and the -four
part now held in solution contains
nothing but starch and gluten.
This liquid is then made to flow over
series of tables. representing several
acres in area, and the difference in the
specific gravity of the two substances
causes the gluten and starch to sepa-
rate without the use of chemicals. The
gluten is of golden-yellow color and
the starch snow white. BY the time
the gluten has been completely elm
mated the starch assumes a plastic
form and is collected from the separat-
ing tables by wheelbarrowsfull and
taken to drying room, where it is
prepared as the starch of commerce
or is placed in a chemical apparatus
to be converted into glucose. e.-Ameri-

ARMIES AND NEWSPAPERS.
A New Theory Advanced by q Milwaukee
Philosopher.

A New Theory Advanced by q Milwaukee
Philosopher.
Germany has a powerful standing
army, twenty times more numerous
than that of the United States,
equipped with the most expensive en-
gines of destruction, drilled and disci-
plined like automatons, and ready to
fight for this or that cause at the beck
of the Kaiser. The great standing
army has dwarfed the newspapers.
That is the inevitable result. Perfect
liberty of the press can not exist where
great standing armies rule and where
peace or war of oppression is at the
will of the sovereign. In truth, we
might add, as the German army is
twenty times stronger than that of
the United States, the newspapers
of the United States are twenty times
better than those of Germany. We
might carry the same rule into Rus
sia. where the standing army is still
more powerful and oppressive. and
where the newspaper amounts to even
less than in Germany. England has
a smaller standing army than any of
the great nations of Europe, and the
newspaper there has grown into pro-
portions which dwarf all the conti-
mental journals.
Perhaps the people of Europe will ut
some future day learn that great ar
mics and great newspapers can not CO.
exist. There is an irrepressible war
between them, even as between liberty
and slavery. The iron heel of despot-
ism is always planted on the press.
The utterance of free thought and the
discussion of great principles of Gov
ernment seem to the autocrat or the
absolute monarch like magazine OF
dynamite under the foundations of
his palace. milwaukee, Wisconsin.

A young dude barg aimed for and got
light-colored spring overcoat for

hand into the pocket, said to the

1t is said that among the 800
women students at Oberlin there has
occurred no case of discipline the last

is strongly in favor of co-educatiou.
The Presbytery of Rio Grande.

American and four Mexican churches,
the Industrial Indian school at Albu-

But these are the only ''kind and

Mrs. Roots appeal:

1t does not seem to occur to persons
who make this objection that all wo-

homes. their property, and even their
personal safety. are voted up or voted
down in ''the notoriously corrupt
