New Occupations.

The ingeniousness OF women is prov
ing great aid to those who must be
self-supporters. The alacrity with
which they see an opening and
make a business is, well-as quick
as women. The ''seminors" of the city
are good examples-women of educa.
tion who post society women on cur
rent topics, literary. political and
scientific, enabling them to converse
intelligently. In London a number oi
women are serving rs guides. They
are wonderful Improvement on the
usual parrot-like type. The general
governess is becoming an institution at
summer resorts. She takes the child
ren off the parents hand by the hour,
and not only makes them happy and
gives the mothers rest. but earns good
salary by It. too. A clever young girl
with camera picks up points here and
there which the artists and the illus
trated papers buy. Another clever
girl discovers that she can become q
caterer; perhaps she makes only cakes,
perhaps serves whole meals, and thus
earns a livelihood Another who paints
on china buys kiln and fires her owr
and her neighbors' wares. The sum
tot;d OF the women earning comfortable
incomes in these odd ways is very large.

A Semi-Barbarous Fashion.

The fashion of writing up funerals
as though they were social events is
one TO be sincerely deplored, not to
say frowned upon, by the community.
Public characters have obsequies
thrust upon them, but pray let the
curtain fall on private individuals and
their sorrowing friends. The late
Mrs. Hayes may, perhaps, come under
the category of public characteristic
certainly would had she died during
hN husbands term OF office-and the
recent description OF her burial robes.
the flowers she wore and the express
sion of her countenance are probably
due to the position she once occupied
in the White House. Nevertheless it
jars on the sersibilities OF every one
who has lost near and dear friends to
find the same reportorial jargon that
would be employed in describing some
festive occasion applied to the sacred
dead. II persons are to be fattered
and complimented in their fashionable
shrouds and caskets. it will behoove
us to live on awhile longer until the
custom blows oyeH-Boston Herald.

Where's the Difference2

Looked at with u view TO fair play
and justice, the right of the women to
vote would be clear, says Lucy Stone.
To illustrates: In one town lives a
man who owns his house and land, and
who has family of children. Next
door to him lives woman who also
owns her house and land. and who has
family Of children. This man and
woman have the same personal and
property rights, and the same family
interests. Is it not clear that by right
and fair dealing they should both have
a vote on the questions that concern
them alikee
Out on ranch lives ayoung man
who took up land. He has conformed
to the law. He has proved up" on his
land, owns it, and will make his home
on it But on another ranch lives a
young woman who took up land. She
has conformed to the law, she has
''proved up on her land, owns it, and
will make her home on it. BY all fair
dealing, tho young woman should have
vote as well as the young man.
Husbands fathers and widowers have
special interests to protect, and they
will have votes to protect them. Wives,
mothers and widows have special in.
terests to protect In all fair dealing,
they should also have votes to protec,
those interests. The men who upheld
slavery are ashamed of it now. The
men who deny equal rights to women
will surely be ashamed of it in the fu
trra

What Steam Has Done.

A very interesting calculation has
recently been made by the Statistical
Bureau in Berlin. Four-f fifths of tho
power machines at present in activity
In the world have been erected during
the past twenty-five years. The coun-
try which possesses the highest
amount of horse power is the United
States, with $500, 900 horse power;.
then follow England, with 7,000,000s
Germany, with 1000, 900; France. with
5000, 900, and Austro-Hungary, with
1000, 5000. These figures do not in
clude locomotives, of which there are
105, 900 at work, with a total horse
power of 100000. Thus the total
horse power in the world is $4,000, 600.
A steam "horse power is equivalent
to three actual horses strength, and
each living horse represents the
strength OF seven men. Thus tho
total horse power of the entire world
represents the work Of 1000. 900. 600
men. or more than twice the total
working population of the earth.
Steam has thus tripled the entire
human work power of the earth.-

Referring to the assertion sometimes
sneeringly made by coarse-minded men.

votes, she can wear the breeches,' the
GlenrocS (Wy.) Graphic says:
1--WE have known men to make such
a remark, and afterwards. after having
resided in Wyoming few years, and
witnessed woman suffrage in operation;
after observing the quiet and orderly
influence OF women's presence at the
polls; after noting the courtesy and re-
spect with which they are treated; after
lecoming convinced that woman is
capable of casting her ballot at least
as intelligently rs the average man,
and realizing that a lady may exercise
the right OF suffrage and be u lady still
after having studied all these things,
we have known these men to regard il
as their duty to see that their wives
were furnished with conveyances that
they might go to the polls and vote"

THE BODY POLlTlC.
4 Diseased System That Needs Doctor
ing.

AhS
1t is said that women should not vote,
because they have avenues enough now
to serve humanity, in the various
philanthropies, ETC., etc, writes Mrs.
Helen P. jenkins, in Woman's journal.
The work that women are doing for the
poor, the miserable, the sinful, the GRIM
inal, is noble work; but these efforts do
not reach the sources OF wretchedness
and poverty and crime, and thus diminish
them. Good as they are, much needed
as these efforts are, they are but sooth-
ing applications to the sores OF a dis
eased system. Would it not be we'll to
doctor the system and have less of the
disagreeabe dressing of the sores to
dop 10 care for the wife and children
of drunkard, kind as it is, is not so
good service as to make it possible for
that husband to take care Of them him
self. To nurse a girl who has gone
astray is good work; but still better
work is some healthful subsoiling which
will make iniquity less frequent /
think women would make excellent
doctors of the body polite as well as
OF the individual body.
The women who are working for
woman suffrage see they think they
are not mistaken) that with the ballot
they may be able to strike at the roots
of much of the wickedncss and wretch
edness and poverty in the world. TlEre
are signs of such things already on the
earth. For instance:
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
and helped to elect them; then they
bravely 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'
pants, 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 I
surplus of one hundred dollars; an(
meantime those women have no
neglected their homes. Is there any
significance in this? 1t seems to mt
there is something well worth tn,
study OF our people-and our logisla
tors-in this simple but signiican
story. This ballot for women" is no
question OF whether we women wan
more responsibility or not; it is ques
ton of duty, religious duty, nationa
duty. We have nation to save ant
not our own comfort to consult w
have race to rescue, and fine-ladyisn
must not restrain us from doing ou
work.
The spirit which prompts some wo
men to engage in the various philan
thropies in order to help their fellow
beings is the same which encourage
Others TO work against all obstacle
and obloquy for woman's power in th
State; and all things shall work to
gether for good.

WHAT MEANS.
The True Significance of Woman su

Tho True Significance Of Woman Suffrage
Among the excellent articles called
out on this side OF the water by the ac-
tion of the English Remonstrants, was
an editorial in tho New York Home
Journal, which paper. after rc-affirm-
ing its own steadfast loyalty to the
cause, said:
"Woman suffrage Is not the mere
privilege OF voting. 1t means social
revolution. reconstruction OF society
on 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 infuse into the social state the
warmer sympathies, the dislnterested-
ness, the moral enthusiasm and the
profounder sense Of justice that are
characteristic OF her womanhood.
I'm fine, the movement for woman
suffrage is but part OF the general
drift OF modern society toward higher
principle of organization than that
upon which 1t 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-
pllshed. And not until this profound
revolution has been effected may the
author OF Robert Elsmere and those
who sympathizo with her aspirations
for regenerated society hope 10 have
their dreams realized.
''The Church UNIVERSAL! was
no fiction in medi@val times when 50.
ciety was constructed consistently
throughout on a basis OF force. The
Church UNIVERSAL! 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 we look for this reconstruction.
1t is from her heart that the vitalzine
force must proceed 1t by her active
participation alone that The great work
can be achieved"

AUTOMATIC PILL BOX.

n Dutch Doctors Unique Drop-a-Penny-
in-thc. Slot Machine.
1t is announced that Dutch
apothecary has taken out patent for
an automatic doctoring machine. We
do not look for jests from Holland,
especially among the druggists, and.
indeed. the project as described is
quito feasible. The machine is shaped
like man, but this signifies nothing
beyond advertisement 1t is divided
into compartments, each bearing the
liable OF some disease above the ''slit;"
a sufferer chooses that which defers
to his complaint, drops in his money
and receives pill, a powder or a
draught, suitable to his case. It is a
lovely notion in itself; as good as a
gold mine-or even so much better
and work of philanthropy besides.
Myriads of our fellow-creatures who
toll through the day, inadequately
supported by the prospect of pill for
tea, would find soace and strength
renewed at each street corner. The
machine would be serviceable to the
State also. Human skill has its
limits, and with all that unremitting
conscientiousness which we gladly
acknowledge in the medical pro-
fession, doctors can not reduce our
surplus population as an automatic
machine would do. That was well OK
emplified in the case of the guillotine.
Ii may be feared, however, on this
very account that trade jealousies
will oppose the introduction of this
beneicent contrivance. We hope
that the public will put its foot down
on the question. There is no greater
comfort for the infirm than a pill. II
administered at the psychological
moment; and that moment would re-
cur hourly for thousands if an auto
matte machine stood within reach. -

NATURE OF CLOUD-BURSTS.
They Are Lakes of Water Actually Sus-
pended In Mid-Air.

They Are Lakes of Water Actually Sus-
pended in Mid-Air.
The phenomena of cloud burst,
which can only occur in tornado or
whirlwind, are not generally under
stood. The whirl in which it forms
is not very broal and shallow disk,
but tall, columnar mass of rotating
air, similar to that in which the At
lantic waterspout or the famous pillar
like dust storm OF India is generated.
While this aveling aerial pillar per-
haps few hundred yards in diameter,
is rapidly gyrating, the centrifugal
force. as Prof. Ferrel has shown, acts
as Il barrier to prevent the flow of ex-
ternal air from all sides into its in
terror, except at and near the base OF
the pillar. There friction with the
earth retards the gyrations and allows
the air to rush in below an1 escape
upward through the fue-like interior
as powerful ascending currents.
The phenomenon, however, will not
be attended by terrific floods unless the
atmosphere is densely stored with
water vapor. as it was on May 81 in
the Conemaugh valley. When such is
the case, the violently ascending Cur.
rents suddenly lift the vapor-laden
clouds several thousand feet above the
level at which they were previously
floating, and hurl them aloft into rari.
fed and cold regions OF the atmos-
phere where their vapor is instantly
condensed into many tons of water.
Could the water fall as fast as con.
densed it would be compa ratively
| harmless. But the continuous up
rushing currents support this mass OF
water at the high level, and as their
own vast volumes of vapor rising are
condensed they add to the water al.
ready accumulated thousands of feet
above the earth's surface-making, SC
70 speak, lake in high air.
AS the whirlwind weakens or passes
from beneath this vast body Of water,
which its ascending currents have
generated and upheld in tho upper
story of the atmosphere, the aqueous
mass, no longer supported, drops with
ever increasing gravitational force to
the earth. In severe cloud-bursts the
water does not fall as rain, but in
sheets and streams, sometimes un'
broken for many seconds. The cloud.
burst of 1888 at Holidaysburg, Pa, ex.
cavated many holes in the ground
varying from twenty y-five to thirty feet
in diameter, and from three to siA
feet deep. In a similar but mildel
storm, which visited Boulo gne las
May. assures were cut in the street:
eight feet deep aad openings made
large enough to engulf horse ant
cart. IN. Y. Herald.
