Ends To be Attained.

l am in favor of woman suffrage, and
would vote if the right were extended
to me, for many reasons, based on the
advantage to be derived therefrOm by
both sexes. One of my weightiest
reasons for it is that think it would be
the surest means of securing for women
the simple justice of equal pay for equal
work. Facts show that voters alone
have their interests properly guarded.
For example. while the disbanded vol
unteers of the late war, who stay at
home and vote, are a privileged class on
whom honors and emolumcnts are
heaped. and very justly, the regular
army, who fought none the less bravely,
but who are non-voters, are treated
with scant consideration in time of peace.
Moreover, 1 believe that the exercise of
suffrage would train women to higher
thoughts and aims. and introduce re-
fining influence into politics. so that
women would be made stronger and
men finer thereby.-Mary L. Booth

An Archbishop's Opinion. =

The Archbishop of York at the recent
Church Congress put himself on record
as believer in the political equaliza-
ton of the sexes. He is thus reported:
with respect now to the equal rights
of women we have been very long in
finding that out, but We are finding it
out; and twenty years hence, when
some other archbishop shall have the
pleasure of addressing them. he will
have workingmen and workingwomen
all together before him. and he ventured
to think there would be no privilege
which the intelligent women should not
have that men enjoyed now. He would
say there was nothing that stood be-
tween them and the happiness and
progress which God would give them
and the evil will of men,"

Unmarried Women.

There is a class of women in every
community whom society denominates
''old maids" The world ought to be
told what uncrowned queens many of
these women are, what undecorated
heroines, what blessings to human be-
ings, what builders Of homes, what
servants of others and of Christ. Iu
thousands of instances they voluntarily
remain unmarried for the sake of their
families Many of them have refused
brilliant offers of marriage that they
might stay at home to toll for younger
brothers or sisters, or to be the shelter
and comfort of parents in the feebleness
of their advancing years. Then there
are many who have freely hidden away
their own heart hunger that they might
devote themselves to good deeds for
Christ and for humanity. A glance
over the pages of history will show
many a woman's name which shines in
the splendor of such self-sacrifice. Then
in every community and neighborhood
in almost every family, is one whose
hand has not felt the pressure OF the
wedding ring. because some loved ones
or the work of the Master outside
seemed to need her hallowed love and
gentle service. We should learn to
honor these unmarried women instead
of decorating their names with unworthy
epithets. Many of them are true hero
ines of neighborhood or household. the
real sisters of charity of the commune
ties in which they live. Those who
sometimes speak lightly or flippantly OF
them. who jest and sheer at their sister
hood, ought to uncover their heads be-
fore them in reverence and kiss the
hands, wrinkled now and shriveled.
which never have been clasped in mar
rage. -Philadelphia Presbyterian.

Feeding Bran or Potatoes.

Approaching the subject from the
chemical side we can get . pretty
satisfactory answer from that point of
view. At Is cents per brshel potatoes
are worth about 40 cents per 100
pounds. Calling bran $12 per ton we
have a cost of 60 cents per 100 pounds.
so that the question is: (Which is the
cheaper feed, potatoes at 40 cents per
100 pounds, or bran at COZ" On page
lO4 of the fourth annual report Of this
station is table showing the digesti-
BILE constituents of our common food
articles. By this table we find: 100
pounds potatoes. worth 40 cents. con-
tain l pound protein. 1876 pounds
of carbohydrates; 100 pounds wheat
bran, worth 60 cents, contains
1876 pounds protein and AZ pounds
carbohydrates and fat. It is quite evil
dent that bran is far cheaper than the
potatoes for feeding purposes at the
prices named, and if a farmer can get
Is cents per bushel for the potatoes he
can afford to haul them some distance
to exchange than for bran at such
prices. The potatoes would require
cooking il fed to cows believe,
however, that If one should feed pota-
toes to stock he will get rather better
results thin would be indicated by .

given. Animals require variety in
their food in s-der 70 make the best

ing but hay and bran, or cornstallks

for q time his animals will show re-
markable results from almost any new
kind Of palatable food they may re-
ceive. -Hoard's Dairyman.

IN CASE OF FIRE.

A Description Of Chicago's Unrival ed
Electric Alarm System.
Somebody smells smoke or sees q
strange light at night and rushing to
the nearest alarm-box pulls the hook.
In ten or twelve seconds the number of
the box pulled is transmitted to every
engine-house in the city. Five or six
hundred men are instantly out of bed
and dressed. and about two hundred
horses, released from their stalls,
spring into position. In twenty-five
seconds, on the average. four engine
companies, one chemical company and
a couple of marshals are tearing along
the street, and in minute or two are
on the spot where the alarm origi-
mated.
"How is it done?" repeated Prot.
John P. Barrett by means of an
alarm system that hasn't its superior
in the world. Counting ordinary fire.
alarm boxes. public boxes and private
boxes, there are in Chicago upward Of
1900 points from which alarms may
be given, and every time q box IL
pulled the electric current carries the
necessary information over 100 miles
of underground wire and 500 miles Of
aerial wire. The current Is never Of
the wires and the hooks of the boxes
are always there to be pulled as COCA
sion requires. Yet you would be sur
prised to find how few citizens keep
posted about the fire department They
don't know where the nearest box Il,
or where, In case that fails, the next

residences in Chicago could have pri-
vate alarm boxes At an initial expense
of about 81. and NO subsequent fees

vate boxes in the city. Every citissa

possibility of false alarms. Under the
direct system our men would be turned
out one hundred times night Hence,
here, all alarms come directly to the
central Office, and are thence sent to
the various engine houses. In general
terms the system is simple. Pulling

gongs awaken the men. and mechanical
appliances-every thing worked by
the current-set free the horses. To
slide down the pole and hook a few
snaps is the work of but a moment,
and away 60 the companies.
Every day the wires are tested to
make sure that the resistance offered
doesn't interfere with the passage OF
the current and to guard against
breaks. All our circuits are metallic
that is, have return wire. They
are safer than the common circuit in
which each end of the wire is grounded.
We can't afford to risk having num-
Der of boxes useless. As additional
security, especially downtown. the
wires are interlaced so that if one
box fails to bring the department the
next one will. By this interlacing Of
lines the security of the business part
of the city is doubled. Every fire.
alarm box has also full Morse tele-
graphic outfit If one of our lines
break we have but to ground the ends
at the engine houses between which
the break occurs and we have temper
arily the circuit commonly used for
commercial purposes. Every precau-
ton is taken to guard against atmos-
pheric influences and every form OF
disturbance and accident
1.-THE facility offered for giving
alarms is rarely abused. It's q
dangerous thing to maliciously send
in false alarm, for every keyless box
has bell on the inside that is pretty
sure to call q crowd before the mis-
chief-maker has a chance to escape -
