A VERY readable letter from Wash

Mo contributor and friend of the
LIGHT, found in yesterdays issue of
this journal. Our regular Washing
ton correspondent has letter in this
issue which should stir the pure
minds of the nation to a necessity of
providing more literally for the COM
fort and convenience of the presiden-
tial family. Both the salary and the
white house Accommodations are insult
ficent to maintain the post with
credit to the country unless the presi-
dent draws on his private resources.

Woman As a Citizen.

''Woman as citizen will compel the
State to a higher function than that of
merely policing property. She will
police manhood and womanhood. She
will make rulers what Plato dreamed
of their bcing-'the guardians of So
cietyr The preservation of morals will
be as much to the State as tho protec-
ton of'vestcd rights now is. Woman's
voice will be lifted resolutely against
that browning barbarism of civilization
war. She who suffers most from its
horrors; whose whole nature revolts
against such a crime-whose every
physical feebleness indisposcs her to
the brutal arbitration OF the sword, will
use her ncw-found power to end this
wickedness and folly under which
Europe groans to-day. Woman will
carry her religious nature into the
State, not to establish State religion
the last new religio-political fad
but to keep alive within the body of its
laws and institutions the spirit of essen
tial religion, which will make the State
the conscience of the people. Man has
fashioned the true form of the State in
our own free, self-governing democ-
racy. Let woman breathe within it the
true spirit, and We shall see a city OF
God coming down out OF Heaven upon
earth. "-Rer. Heller Ne,Cton.

BY Rule and Measure.

Undoubtedly some harm is done by
those who insist upon bringing up all
children after ono cast-iron pattern.
In certain sense it is true, as an old
lady once said, that "if you have thir-
teen children. you'll find no two OF
them can be managed alike" But,
after all. the worst harm, and a great
deal of the most of it. is committed by
those who say: "There is no use in
trying to bring up family by rule. !"
Complain as you will about it, the
human frame is a machine, and all
human frames are pretty much alike.
and, as Mrs. Browning says: "need
one flannel. with proper sense Of
difference in the quality" The vast
majority of children should be brought
up to 60 to bed early; to rise early; to
eat three wholesome, abundant meals
per day. and absolutely nothing else;
to be scrupulously regular in main
tanning both inner and outer cleanli-
ness; to live as much as possible in the
open air; and to abhor idleness There
are said to be exceptions to this rule.
but the writer has never known one.
There may be children who are al
lowed to break one or more Of these
regulations habitually, and who yet
maintain unbroken health from years
end to years end, but we never saw
one. = Kate Epson Clark, in Honss

ABORIGINAL MONEY.
Queer Articles Which Take the Place
Gold and Silver.

Queer Articles Which Take the Place Of
Gold and silver.
At q meeting of the Academy of Sci.
ences of San Francisco, a number OF
years since, Mr.. Stearns presented a
paper upon the money of uncivilized
man, in which he remarked that the
durability and ease of manipulation OF
shells have long caused them to be en-
ployed in domestic intercourse and
trade; and. among these, he first
enumerated the common clam of the
eastern coast of the United States, the
purple portion of which constituted the
wampum, or one class of their money,
while another was made from the axes
of a species of Pyrula. In each shell
about half an inch in diameter of the
inside is of this purple color, and this
was converted into beads, which tn ey
called Suckanhock, or black money,
and had twice the value of their white
money or wampum proper, which was
made of the Metauhock or Pyrula. This
was used not only among the Indians,
but among the whites; and it is re-
marked that the solid cash with which
the salaries of ministers were formally
paid included black and white wam-
pun. The money of the west-coast
Indians is species of tusk-shell, or
Dentalium, resembling a hollow ele-
plants tusk, the worth depending
upon the length of the she'll These
are strung on corns and worked up in
various forms of beaded and other
ornaments, having a distinct value
among the Indians, according to the
size of the shell and their number,
quite as fixed as that of the specie or
the paper money of the United States.
The use of the money cowry in Africa
is well known, many tons of the shells
being annually imported to Great Brit
ain. and again exported for barter
with the native tribes Christian at
Work.

lndia.Rubber Horseshoes.

The proposed substitution of india
rubber for metal in the manufacture of
horseshoes is based upon various sup
posed advantages, one of these being
that the former enables horse to go
easier over all kinds of roads and
rough or slippery ground without
slipping. The continuance brought
forward for this purpose is such as to
obviate in one instance the necessity of
using an iron shoe, which can be
moved momentarily when the horse is
shod with an iron shoe. According to
this design the shoe consists of an
india-rubber bottom piece moulded to
fit over or around the frog Of the hoof,
with a ledge or protecting rim rising up
the front and around the level where
the nails are clamped, the projec-
ton having an edge under which a
steel band or other appliance can be
drawn and nipped tight to retain the
rubber shoe. The band Is connected
by studs, which pass through the heel
part of the hoof, this being cut away
from the inner side for the purpose,
and the stud or studs may work &C.
,entrically to obtain grip or fixing. II
the rubber shoe Is used with an iron
shoe. the frog portion or pad has a
front plate and two side wings partial
" imbedded In it to hold the rubber

Hollow Objections of Some Anti-Su6ra gists

''Thcy say that weighty arguments

CAUSES OF DREAMS.

Indigestion the Most Fertile Breeder Of
Nocturnal Phantasms.
Many have discoursed learnedly
upon dreams, propounding wise theo-
ries and making plausible suggestions,
yet no one has ever arrived at any real
solution OF the matter. It is only a
barrier of cloud that bars the way to
knowledge thereof, yet no fortress
wall could be more impregnable. It
is but step from our noisy. busy
world to the vague and vast territory
where
Hollow as a breathing spell,
Dreamland lies forlorn OF light
but no man may set up milestones
along that trackless waste. We only
know that, when all things lapse to
''a sleep and a forgetting" the imag-
ination becomes fly-by-night, and
the wits speed over land and sea like
wild birds set free from the cage.
There are few creatures exempt from
these nocturnal journeyings. however
brief and circumscribed they may be.
The dog ''hunts in Dreams" the cat
fights in battles over again and the
bird sings in its sleep, while even the
most commonplace person can usually
give some crude account of his ex-
periences in slumber. Certain dreams
are common to all people-falling
from a precipice. down. down, to some
unfathomed gulf; striving to walk
upon floor that sinks horribly be-
meath the feet; endeavoring, in urgent
haste, to put on garments that drop

other impish propensities; riding in .
