WOMEN AMONG NATIONS.

How the Women of Different Nations arc
Treated-A Few Valuable Suggestions
Regarding the Proprieties OF Life.
Some Goethe scholars have been say
ing that the position of women in Ger
many is deplorable and that it is large
ly if not mainly due to Goethe's COM
handing influence. But for that over
towering mind and personality, which
stirred the German genius SO deeply,
woman might have won her way to
places of power and respect in Germany
as in other countries. say these scholars.
Goethe's Margaret teaches most de-
pressing and embedding lesson, and he
has no other women characters that en-
force with equal power any other view
of woman's character. This has col
Ored profoundly the German view and
conduct on this point Hence women
are still treated in an inferior way in
Germany, shut out from high education,
from all public influence and position,
and even mainly from commercial and
industrial enterprises. Compare to this
he splendid array of Shakspeare's
women. and we have at once an effect,
cause and representative of the
different and high state of women in
England and America-so say these
scholars.
We will not attempt to pass on this
point of Goethe's influence. The great
German may have failed in this point;
but really it is, or it ought to be. imma-
terial whether in this respect he was
the master or the slave of past and de-
clining traditions of the treatment of
women. The point is not what Goethe
thought or taught. or what was the ten
dency of his life or works on this point,
but what his countrymen will do. for
themselves in the light of the literature
and religion and social spirit of the
whole world. No country in which
woman is held at low social ebb or is
regarded in a mean. an unloyal. unrev-
erential. even in an unromantic way BY
men, will ever attain the best great
ness. or substantial and lasting power.

WOMAN'S DEPARTMENT.
A woMAN,s REFLECTIONS.

That things are hard for women, came mons
To me at the last election,
When couldn't go and help elect
Candidates OF my own selection
And many q time found that

When I sat at home, and men were out

And settling, Just as it pleased themselves,
Allth affairs Of the nation;
But that woman had equal interests at stake
Never entered their calculation.
Many time have been assured
That nothing could be much palmer,
Than, II q woman did have vote,
That wouldn't make her gamer.
Well maybe not, though men sometimes ind

Why, just this last election, know

Five hundred dollars for every vote
They gained from the opposition;
And up our street, a man lives, who got
A suit OF clothes in addition.
It's all very well for men to cry,
The stock old argument quoting
That woman would lose her influence,
Her refinement too, by voting.
Maybe she would; though don't recall
Any instance Of this much-vaunted
Influence OF hers being Of any use
In getting q thing she wanted.
But do recall. when Jacob Strong

Three fourths OF the women in our town,
Together in delegation,
Implored each member 10 turn who was

That il We would see generosity

BREvITIES ON THE BALLOT.

My belief in the wisdom and Justice

The Buffalo Courier, in a paragraph
on 'Why Women Want to Vote" says
that the best managed philanthropies
are theirs and adds: "Whither, even
though slowly, does all this broadening
activity of women end?"
PROF. A. F. NIGHTINGALE, one of
the leading officers of the National Ed
vocational Association. writes: 81 have
always been an earnest advocate of the

whereas, their power is almost Uniform
" used for the elevation and purifying
OF public sentiment. woman's vote is .
necessity for the best good of tho
country.
The Lewiston Me.) Journal says:
'What interests Us particularly in this
Boston movement is not the issue which
has been unduly magnified, but the laet
that women can q easily interest them
selves in political questions as men. and
that when they have the ballot and polit-
ical issues arise which interest them,
they will vote - readily a. the men.
And more than that. men want them to

GEO. WV CURTIS. in the Easy-Chair
of Harper's Weekly, says: The admis-

and the uniform law which Congress would pass
would probably be of low moral grade, ana the
last end OF the divorce situation would be worse
than the first. Let reform the State statues
let us pull the beam out of our own eyes, and then
we shall see clearly how to pull out the mote
of the interstate difficulty. A good example Is
contagious II one State rectifies it's statute
another will be likely TO do So In objection
TO this reasoning it may be said that actual ex-
perence does not justify the belief that good eX-
ampies in State legislation on divorce are con-
tagious. For instance the divorce law OF the
State of New.Yorll is precisely that which Mr..
Cavorno recommends, yet there has thus far been
no indication on the part Of other States to bring
their statutes in accordance with ours. The as
sumption that Congress would enact n uniform
law " OF low moral grade moreover, seems rather
gratuitous. The real objection to Federal legls'
ation rests upon far broader and stronger grounds
