PARTING.
! thy friend farewell,

II thou dost bid thy friend farewell,
But for one night though that farewell may Be-
Press thou his hand In thine
How canst thou tell how far from thee
Fate or caprice may lead his steps ere that to
morrow comet
Men have been known to lightly turn the corner
of a street,
And days have grown to months and months to
tagging years,
Ere they have looked in loving eyes again
Parting. at best, is underlaid
With tears and pain.
Therefore, lest sudden death should come between,
Or time. or distance, clasp with pressure firm
The hand Of him who goeth forth,
Unseen Fate goeth too.
Yes. find thou always time 70 say some earnest
word
Between the idle talk,
Lest with thee henceforth,
Night and day, regret should walk.

The Purpose of All Industry.

1t is a curious thought that all the huge
value of traffic, production, distribution and
conversion has for Ats end and objective point
the supply of each inhabitant with a few feet
of boards over his head, sustained by bricks
or timber; about ten pounds of wool, sixteen
pounds of cotton converted into clothing,
barrel of -four and two or three hundred
pounds of meat each year, and little sugar,
a glass of beer, about five pounds of solid or
liquid food per day; these constituting the
necessaries Of life. Some one has said that
life would not be worth living except for its
luxuries, and that time would not be worth
having except for the hours that could be
saved for leisure. How much of luxury and
how much of leisure can the average man get
out Of what 50 to SIS cents day will buy for
his shelter, food and clothingfThe Forum.

Color of katydid.

There has recently come into the ossession
of tho writer specimen of the kntydid
showing a remarkable variation in color.
The whole body is of beautiful and delicate
rose pink The specimen when captured did
not seem to be abnormal in any other respect.
1t has been identified by member Of the
chronological division Of the agricultural de-
partment as Phyloptera oblongifolia 1t
seems to be q rare variation, though from the
same gentleman we learn that at least one
similar case has been recorded. A specimen
exactly like this one in color is mentioned by
Riley in his Sixth Report ON the Insects Of
Missouri" as having been sent to him many
years ago.-L. n. johnson In Science.

There have been three presidents Of Hayti
who have consented to radical measures
being employed to check the cannbalistic
tendencies Of a portion of the population.
The late President Geffrard, whose family at
present reside in fine ''pen" near Kingston
Jamaica, endeavored to extirpate vaudaux-
ism Gen. Boisrond-Canal during his short
interregnum was an astute opponent of the
rites of the serpent, and the late President
Solomon likewise in his crafty way evinced a
desire to rid Hayti of her browning shame.
The Emperor Faustin, or Soulouque, was q
member of the Vaudaux society, and Gen.
Dominique, who was president in 1915, was
an active follower. He was born African
and was undoubtedly the most ignorant and
savage ruler the Haytians were ever cursed
with. His nephew, Septimus Rameau, whose
murderous deeds have been recounted in the
course of this correspondence, was popular
during the period of his infamous occupancy
of the position of prime minister under Do
mingue.
have been assured in Hayti that the oppo-

vaudaux practices was an important element
in creating the opposition which led to their
political downfall. Cor. New York Herald.

WHAT IT MEANS.

The True Significance Of Woman Suffrage.
Among the excellent articles called
out on this side Of the water by the nc
tion Of the English Rcmonstrants. was
an editorial in the New York Home
Journal. which paper, after rc-af;irm-
ing its own stcadfast loyalty to tho
cause. said:
Woman suffrage is not the mere
privilege Of voting. 1t means social
revolution. reconstruction OF society
on a higher principle. 1t means-if
you will permit the word the woman
izing OF society. 1t is not woman who
by her entrance into political life will
take the mold Of society as it now is.
but society that will be nodded anew
by woman. She will not lose thereby
her distinctive attribute and charm,
but will infuso into the social state the
warmer sympathies. the disintercsted-
ness, the moral enthusiasm and the
profounder sense OF justice that are
characteristic Of her womanhood
In fine, the movement for woman
suffrage 10 but part OF the general
drift Of modern society toward . higher
principle Of organization than. that
upon which it now rests. and its great
Importance lies in the fact that it is an
essential step in this revolution-a rev.
olution which only with the aid OF wo-
mans larger sympathies and finer sense
OF justice may be peacefully accom-
plishcd. And not until this profound
revolution has been effected may the
author Of Robert Elsmere' and those
who sympathize with her aspirations
for a regencrated society hope 10 have
their dreams realized.
The Church Universal!-that was
no fiction in medieval times when So
ciety was constructed consistently
throughout on a basis of force. The
Church Cniversal.-it will cease to be
a fiction OF modern times when society
is reconstructed consistently ON the
basis Of justice and that fraternity
which justice involves. 1t is to woman
that VIC look for this reconstruction.
II is from her heart that the vitalizing
force must proceed. It's by her active
participation alone that the great work
can DO achieved.

il Is said that women should not vote.

Of tho individual body.
Tho women who are working for

are not mistakenly that with tho ballot
they may bc able 10 strike at the roots
Of much of the wickcdness and wretch
edncss and poverty in the world. There
arc signs Of such things already on the
earth. For instances:
in Oskaloosa, Kan. one year ago.
women were elected to all the city
Offices. Those women did not seek
those Offices; they shrank at first from
filling them. Men nominated them
aEa helped to elect them; then they
brareiy consented to take the burdens
Of Office. One year of service has
proved so satisfactory that this year
they have all been reelected. The
Jail. which formerly had many occu-
parts. has none. The debt which
has hung over Oskaloosa ever since
the war. has been paid off, and the city
treasury, which was empty. has now a
surplus of one hundred dollars; and
| meantime those women have not
neglected their hclnes. Is there any
significance in this? It seems to me
there is something we'll worth the
study Of our peoplc-and our legisla-
tors-in this simple but significant
story. This ballot for women is not
question of whether we women want
more responsibility or not; it is ques-
ton OF duty, religious duty, national
duty. We have a nation to save and
net our own comfort to consult. We
have a race to rescue. and fine-ladyism
must not restrain US from doing our
work.
The spirit which prompts some wo-
men to engage in the various philan-
thropies in order to help their fellow
beings is the sanc which encourages
others to work against all obstacles
and obloquy for woman's power in the
S!ute; and all things shall work to-
gcther for good.
