WHAT IT MEANS.
The True Significance of Woman Suffrage

The True Significance of Woman Suffra go.
Among the excellent articles called
out on this side of the water by the &C.
ton of the English Remonstrants, was
an editorial in the New York Home
Journal, which paper. after re-affirm-
ing its own steadfast loyalty to the
cause, said:
Woman suffrage is not the mere
privilege of voting 1t means a social
revolution. a reconstruction of society
on a 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 disinterested-
ness, the moral enthusiasm and the
profounder sense of justice that are
characteristic of her womanhood.
'.In fine, the movement for woman
suffrage is but part of the general
drift Of modern society toward q higher
principle of organization than that
upon which it 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-
plished. And not until this profound
revolution has been effected may the
author of Robert Elsmere and those
who sympathize with her aspirations
for regenerated society hope to have
their dreams realized.
"The Church Universal!-that was
no fiction in medieval times when So
ciety was constructed consistently
throughout on basis of force. The
Church Universali- lit 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 vitalizing
force must proceed. 1t is by her active
participation alone that the great work
can be achieved"

improvements In Passenger Cars.

The Wagner Palace Car Company is revo-
lutionizing the equipment of its cars and
making them superior TO anything of the
kindln the world. One Of the greatest i'm
p-oVements is the lighting of the cars with
gas. The New York Central &5 Hudson
River Railroad Company is also equipping
its passenger coaches with gas Abonto tone
hundred Of them running out Of New York
City have been so equipped. The gas is com
pressed in a cylinder under each car, and
one filing of q cylinder will last the round
trip between New York and Chicago. The
gas is made from petroleum, and furnishes
60-candle powerhght as againsta 16-candle
power light under the old method. Coaches
lighted with gas are as light as parlor, and
passengers can read as well in the night as
in the daytime.-Rome IN. ~ Sentinel.

THE BODY POLlTlC
4 Diseased System That Needs Doctor
ing.


ing.
It 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 well to
doctor the system and have less Of the
di5agreeabe dressing of the sores to
dop TO care for the wife and children
of dl.unkard, 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 wickedness and wretch
edness and poverty in the world. There
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 shranh 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 80 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
biC WIZ, Heto -oSCI pau oii, anu ouO SAuJ
treasury, which was empty, has now a
surplus Of one hundred dollars; and
meantime those women have not
neglected their homes. Is there any
significance in this? 1t seems to me
there is something well WORTH the
study of our people-and our legisla-
tors--in this simple but significant
story. This ''ballot for women" is not
a question of whether we women want
more responsibility or not; it is a ques-
ton of duty, religious duty, national
duty. We have a nation. to save and
not our own comfort to consult. We
have race to rescue, and fne-ladyism
must not restrain US from doing our
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 encourages
others to work against all obstacles
and obloquy for woman's power in the
State; and all things shall work to-
gether for good.

The Money-Making Spirit.

The game of money-getting all the
world over is, after all, only another
name for eXertion. emulation, ambi-
tion, adventure, Independence, sue
cess, power. We can see no reason to
expect its disuse-none even to wish
for it. 1t is so general, so universal,
its good is SO practically acknowl-
edged. that a thousand platitudes from
pretended skeptics do not damage it
in the least. The skepticisms and the
rfatitudes only prove its utility; the
taunts of laziness only demonstrate
its worth. The world UiU have it:
the world must have it. 1t is always
wanted-sometirnes for good, often
times for evil; but the good and the
evil weigh in this instance only on the
same scale as in all other human ar
rangements. 1t may be called for to
ravage a continent; it may be re-
quired to civilize one; it may be
wanted to hollow out a mountain
range that too long has made enemies
OF nations; its potent forces may be
asked TO build hostile barriers on
peaceful plain; but in all these cases
it only stands up to represent hate or
human passion, human enterprise or
human love, husbanded for the in
evitable strife alike against physical
foes Or social eyils,-N, Y, Ledger.

Do we Need Big Muscles :?

By no means. Persons of herculean
build frequently possess minimum of gen
uine vigor, and exhibit less endurance than
very small people. Real vigor means the
ability to digest and sleep well, and to per
form a reasonable amount of daily physical
aud mental labor without unnatural fatigue.
1t is because a course Of Hostetter's Stom-
ach Bitters enables the enfeebled dyspeptic
to consume the allotted activity of every
day life, as well as to participate without
discomfort in its enJoyments, that it is such
pre-eminently useful medicine.

SYSTEM IN FARMING.
Why 1t Pays to Make a Speciality of One
Branch of A gric ulture.

Branch of Agriculture.
In an address upon this subject Mr..
Hiram Smith, of Wisconsin, spoke
substantially as follows:
There is much complaint about COM
petition in various branches Of farm
ing, yet few who are in the business
can get out Of it safely; they are in to
stay. The chief point to consider is
how to make the business pay. The
farmer who aims to produce little in
the many branches Of farming and the
one who pursues only the old methods
is farming at cross purposes, and does
not succeed.
Take an instance: Here is farmer
with 400 acres of land. He sells steer
beef at So. 25 per hundred. This meat
was produced thus: Pastured upon
grass land in summer, fed meadow
hay in winter and finished off with
corn.
This man farmed at cross purposes.
His neighbor, who farmed at pur-
pose, made money by feeding steers;
for he filled his silo, fed them this in
winter and in summer had them upon
pasture while feeding grain ratio;
then sold in July or August at the
best prices. Besides making money,
he worked much less hard than his
neigh Dor.
Another case: A farmer, who read
that money was made by breeding
trotting-horses, went to raising them.
Then he read that there was money
in Jersey COWS; so he tried them. Not
knowing how to make butter, he sold
his milk at the cheese factory, and, Of
course it went into the general pool.
A dry summer came; the cows went
dry, and, to cap the climax. a COW
hooked his head trotter. and-he sold
out in the fall, bankrupt He had no
purpose in his farming.
The one who studies all advance
ments. keeps step with all the best
methods, devotes his best efforts in
one direction. to the production of one
class Of product, and plans wisely, is
farming 10 purpose, ana SuccecdS.
The sooner the farmers of the country
concentrate their efforts on special
lines, the earlier will desired success
crown their efforts.
Make a speciality of one branch OF
farming. Crowd that for all it il
worth. Bend every energy to be the
best in that line, and you can hardly
fail to succeed. Dairy World

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.

A man may attack a roast turkey
valiantly, and yet quail on toast when
suddenly called upon to respond to one,
One Of the best trees for planting
along the roadside or in pastures
where stock will do more or less
tramping is the cherry.
Keep all the cows your farm will
carry. Keeping one cow on three or
four times more acreage than she re-
quires is wasting resources.
"A good pasture with plenty of
water is indispensable in the growth Of
the best hogs. A clover pasture is
best, but any thing is better than the
close pen.
The man who doesn't buy the hest
household conveniences for his wife
should be compelled to sell his reaper
and cut grain with a cradle. Western
Plowman.
If you are breaking young colts
take pains not to overdo them, says a
writer. Many young horses are seri-
ousiy injured by straining or working
too hard at the start.
Keep all the tools on the farm in
good condition. A man with light,
sharp hoe will do double the work
that a man will with hoe as dull as
the head of an axe, and do it much
better.
Cream Sauce for Fish, etc-Place
a tablespoonful of butter in a spider,
and when hot, stir in smoothly large
teaspoonful -four, then gradually add
teacupful milk. Season with salt
and pepper to taste; let it boil up well
and it is done.
When the branches Of the tomato
vines look as if the leaves had been
stripped off make a close search for
the green worm, which is about two
inches long and half an inch in diam
eter. Unless the worm is caught it
will eat up all the foliage. and as it is
nearly of the color of the vines it is
not easily detected.
Sweet Green Tomatoes. Slice and
cover with weak brine, or sprinkle
with very little salt each layer, and
they will make their own brine. Lot
them stand twenty-four hours. Then
drain them thoroughly. Cook till
tender in water with little vinegar.
Drain them we'll and pack in jars with
few cloves and pieces of stick CHINA
mon. Cover with sweetened vinegar.
If children have no money Of their
own how can they learn to manage it?
Begin when they are very young and
teach them gradually the use Of
money, by arranging household work
so they can earn a few pennies, and
perhaps by giving moneyed rewards
for special excellence in school. When
ever children are given money let
them understand it is because they
have earned it by good behavior.
1t is difficult to remove the smells
impaired to the clothing by milking
and the care of horses. But they may
be largely prevented. Common land
plaster sprinkled freely in horse and
cow stables will absorb most Of the
ammoIliacal odors. A weak solution Of
copperas sprinkled from watering
pot is an additional and very effective
deodorizer. OF course all such means
for maintaining purity are useless
without perfect cleanliness and good
ventilation But with those and the
simple appliances named the air Of
the stable may be kept as free from Of
fensive doors as that Of parlor.
