Home Duties Wholly Compatible with
Good intellectual Work.
Homework, in moderation, is
healthy and pleasant. 1t is the want
of just such an Unconditional vent for
their restless energy that produces
many victims of nervous prostration.
1t is also wholly compatible, if brought
under any proper system, with good
intellectual work. Moreover, the Gre
ating and guiding of a home is the
best gift the world has to offer. When
one thinks of the flood of bad art and
second-rate literature Of the present
day, is it not melancholy to reflect
upon the wasted energy that might
have gone into beautiful and helpful
livesp The education is costly, indeed.

"No man can serve two masters"
and, therefore, it SCENE to me self-evi-
dent that any woman who accepts the
gift of home thereby pledges herself
to devote to it her best service. The
neglect of her first duty and highest
privilege can not lead to any true work

Senator MCPHERSON Reelected.

The United States Senatorial contest was
practically settled on Tuesday when each
House of the Legislature cast its majority
vote for John r. Mcpherson. Wednesday
morning the two Houses met in joint ses-
zion and took q joint vote. In the Senate,
the election created scarcely a ripple in the
regular proceedings.
Senator Edwards, of Hudson, offered the
customary resolution to proceed to ballot,
which, being adopted, the roll was called
without the formal nomination Of candi-
dates. The result was: John r. McPher-
son, II; William ]. Sewell, 10. President
Werts declared John r. Mcpherson re-
elected on the part Of tie Senate TO the
United States Senate for another term.
In the Assembly the Senatorial question
occupied more attention, because here, if
any where, the threatened bolt would take
place.
Before beginning the balloting Mr..
Heppenheimer asked fora call ofthe House.
This showed only one absentee-Mr. Pat

Mr.. IIeppenheimer announced tina he
was authorized to say that Ex-Governor
Albeit was not in the field as a candidate.
The ballot then proceeded without incident,
every Democrat voting for Mcpherson and
every Republican for SewelI. The result:
Mcpherson, 30; Sewell, 28.

The Proposed Election law.

4 clear idea of the new ballot reform bill
drawn up by Herbert Boggs and introduc-
ed in the Legislature by As%semblyman
Kane, of Middlesex, may be obtained by a
perusal of the following card of instruc-
ions which it is proposed to have display
ed conspicuously at each polling place:
INSTRUCTIONS TO VOTERS.
/ Persons desiring to vote, must procure
their ballots from a member Of the Elec-
ton Board.
? They must then, without leaving the
polling place, proceed to a compartment
and prepare their ballots.
3 The ballots are prepared as follows:
Make a cross mark (x) in the right margin
Of the ballot opposite the name OF each
person for whom you wish to vote. Be
careful that you do not mark the names Of
persons for whom you do not wish to vote.
Do not make any mark on the ballot save
as above directed, or the ballot will not be
counted. If you spoil a ballot, return it to
member Of the Election Board and obtain
from him a new ballot; take this to a COM
partment and mark it properly.
4 Having marked the ballot, fold it so as
to conceal the names and marks on the
face and to expose the names on the back.
) Take it to the Judge of Election be-
fore leaving the Enclosure and see it depos-
tied in the box.
6 Immediately leave the polling place.

whose name does not appear upon the bal
lot, write or insert his full name in the
blank space on the ballot under the proper
office you wish him to hold, and make a
cross mark in the proper margin opposite
the same.

ing place; you thereby forfeit the right to
vote.

lions shall be printed on The cards of in

Hoffman or the Fifth Avenue with the
political affairs of New York. The old
National no longer attracts politicians
save Of the relic class, and Wizards is

the occasion. When Mr.. Blaine settled

was likewise settled. On Thursday Mr..
and Mrs. Morton came here for a few days
and registered at the Normandie, where
they were assigned rooms adjoining those
of Mr.. Blaine, and near those of William

visit here has nothing to do with politics
and he and the man from Maine will have
no conferences.
There still remain people in this country
who, despite the excellent advantages Of

not the bayonet, bat the school-mas-

make gay for liberty
What has raised humanity above the
empire of brute force to the calm heights
of law? Go back along of the life-path of
your statesman and legislator, who made
the statutes By which the Anglo-Saxon
race is lifted to the level of this realm of
Law. and yon will find a home, a mothers
love, a Christian cradle hymn, a child's
sweet PRAYER. Put men by themselves in
camp and wilderness, and how long is law
their arbiter rather than the matched
strength of arm against arm and blow for
blow? 1t is pure, ennobied, Christian
womanhood, with her teachings and ex-
ample, that has made Law possible to the
Anglo-Saxon race. Reyerently let it be
said, behind the star on the policeman's
breast in the republic CLEANS the star o.
Bethlehem. God, who has all forms of
force at His command. declares loye-force
to be ''the last analysis" and a Christian
republic can but follow where He leads.
1t is not brute force that has carried for
ward the triumph of Christ's cross since
the little procession of women and Of
fishermen started out along the hillsides Of
Judea amid the jeers and Insults of the
populace. No, it has been ons mightier
by far, for love-force has won the
peaceful battles by which the Sermon on
the Mount becomes each year more nearly
the law-book of the nations.
Prayer-force has a magic in it mighty
for the pulling down OF strongholds; and
from the days of the woman's crusade in
1874 till no@ has each day been building a
citadel around the Woman's Christian
Temperance Union, high as the hope of a

A Premium on Single BIessedness.

J~astitia, the Illinois woman's paper, is
concerned over the attitude of the ''glori-
fled spinster." 1t says:
A single woman has all the property
rights of a man; it is no wonder, then, that
those who realize their advantages are loath
to give them up for the doubtful benefits Of
married life. 4 young woman of our
acquaintance recently summed up the mat
ter Thus: ''As Ion. as | remain unmarried
and am able to take care OF myself, | am
as nearly independent as is possible to be.
| can earn a large salary. which provides
me- with all the necessaries and many of
the Injuries of life, aud enables me TO save
something for the future. Single blessed
ness is even an advantage in life insurance,
as I carry an endowment policy as a prov
ision for old age, which | could not get at
as low a rate or as easily If l were married.
No one has any right to question my ex-
penditures as long as | ask no favors of
them, and if any one attempts, tell them
that such matters are my own affair only.
| board or keep house rs | choose, and
come and go when | wish to. If | stay all
night with a friend, | am not obliged to ask

rem, and when / am able TO care for them,
shall adopt several. There are too many
homeless little ones now. AS to a hus-
bands love, it is too great a risk to take:
the records of the divorce courts and the
private lives of many of my friends are a
sad warning to me-" ''But is not your life
very selfsh?" was asked. "Self-preserva-
ton is the first Law of nature" was the gay
retort, and the discussion was not re-
sumed. This seems the attitude of many
intelligent, s~elf-supporting women. We
submit the question 10 our readers, Is it
not contrary to public policy to put such
great premiums on the unmarr led state?
