Equal Responsibility.

Mrs. Maria G. Frost, State Superin-
tendent OF Franchise for the Ohio w.
c. T. u, has prepared lealet entitled
1.-THE Crisis in Ohio" strongly urging
that in the revision OF the State Con-
stitution, the word male be stricken
ont. Mrs. Frost makes number OF
good points, among others the follow
ing:
Love of liberty is natural to woman.
God never asked her to surrender it.
God says, Come into harmony with
law, govern yourself. / made you free
to choose" Woman, after centuries of
obedience to man and disobedience to
God, says: mo, man may govern, and
take tho responsibility, and If the ma
ton is destroyed, let him answer for 1t!
He makes the laws. | have all the
rights want, and enough to do with
out interfering with government" The
time has gone by when woman
can say this with impunity. Woman
must answer for tho downfall of this
nation equally with man, il she does
not rise to her opportunities. God gave
us the franchise in the beginning. and
man has said. "She shall have it when
she wants it" Not to want it, is rebel-
lion against Gods moral government

Women In Journalism.


"Another romantic thing in journal
ism,' says James w. Clarke, in the
Boston Globe, is worth observing the
successful advent of the woman jour-
nalist My recollection does not go hack
very far, but it goes back far enough to
remember tho time when you could
count the women regularly engaged on
the Boston press on the fingers OF one
hand, and the general sentiment seemed
to be in those days, only sixteen years
ago. that the few women who were en-
gagged in editorial or reportorial work
were sadly out of place. The woman
journalist was then a decided oddity of
journalism. To-day the decided oddity
in Journalism is the newspaper office that
does not include anywhere from three
to half dozen women in its editorial
and reportorial force. And who in this
year OF 1889 thinks of women as being
in any way out of place in the ranks OF
newspaper workers. should not like
to say how many bright and able wo-
men writers there are engaged on the
Boston press to-day, but certainly there
are five times as many as there were
fifteen years ago, and this number is
steadily increasing. And why not?
English literature is full OF evidence
that much of the very finest thinking
and strongest writing has been done by
women. and for one am prouder of my
profession on this ground than on any
other-that it has been the pioneer OF
all professions in opening the door of
opportunity wider for women The fact
is significant, as | believe, OF the next
great political change that is coming.
What the press does to-day the people
will do tomorrow. How long will 1t
be possible for country ruled by its
newspapers to deny to women the
equality at the ballot-box which they
have already gained in the newspaper
Offices which are, as Wendell Phillips
said, "the real seat of governments"

oicep wel,' through our gathering tears,
But, oh J! the desolate hours we spent
In the silent home from which baby went.
We missed the patter OF little feet
And the broken music Of baby talk;
we were lost for the cares that had sbeeu an
sweet,
When The fearless laddie began to walk
And scarce could feel that another Hand
was gu ding HIM now in the better land.
The lonely days, and the lonely nights;
Had they ever gain our fond hearts knewi
An, yes! for oft, from the Heavenly Fights,
Came echoes floating our darkness through;
And the land beyond grew near and bright,
Where our beautiful baby lived in light.
And our lives were touched by holier grace,
And each to each was bound the MORE
For the dream in our souls Of q little face,
waiting for us on the farther shore;
And day by day we heard the chime
OF bells beyond this passing time.
There came to US, too. from the baby's grave

ANA our hands were swifter to bless and save,
Our hearts in yearning love were kept;
We were fam to cure each bitter ache,
Or ease Its smart for babys sake.
And so we have learned to count the gain,
where once we counted alone the loss;
And SO, through the bitter-sweet OF pam,
Have found the blessing within the cross.

WORDS FOR WON EN-.


HENRY GEORGE, in % letter written
from England to the Standard, speaks
strong words for woman suffrage.
The world is growing wiser and pre-
sumably better, but it is not either wise
enough or good enough TO pay wo-
man man wages for doing a mans
work. Rochester Democrat.
Mrs. JUDGE HUMP HREY, OF Kansas,
says: Every pure woman's ballot may
be an effective protest against wrong.
and il she fails to cast it, by so much
is she responsible il wrong rules in
stead of right"
The Ludington Record says: Chou
sands of ladies in Detroit voted for
school inspector, and exerted bene-
fetal effect on the bystanders at the
polls. None of the baleful things hap
pened that croakers have predicted"
The more radical friends OF the cause
in Great Britain say there is no earthly
reason why married women should not
vote; and they even take the extreme
position that they will oppose the pas
sage of any bill which does not include
married women.
IT has now been many years since the
village schools of Maine passed almost
wholly into the management of lady
teachers. Now the SUPPLEMENTARY Of

to this position this year, many of them
for the first time. Itseems to be case

History of the Origin of the Expression
"By Hook or by Crook"
The destruction caused by the fire
If London, A. ID. 1866, during which
some thirteen thousand two hundred
houses, ETC., were burnt down, in
very many cases obliterated all the
boundary-marks requisite to de-
termine the extent of land, and even
the very sites occupied by buildings
previous to this terrible visitation.
When the rubbish was removed and
the land cleared, the disputes and en-
tangled claims OF those whose houses
had been destroyed, both as to the po-
sition and extent of their property,
promised not only intcrminnb,e occu-
patton to the courts of law, but made
the far more serious evil of delaying
the rebuilding of the city, until these
disputes were settled, inevitable. I'M
PEELED by the necessity of coming to a
more speedy settlement of their re-
spective claims than could be hoped
for from legal process, it was de-
termined that the claims and interests
of all persons concerned should be re-
ferred to the judgment and decision Of
two of the most experienced land-sur-
veyors of that day-men who had
been thoroughly acquainted with Lon
don previous to the fire; and, in order
to escape from the numerous and vast
evils which mere delay must occasion,
that the decision of these two arbi
traitors should be final and binding.
The surveyors appointed TO determine
the rights of the various claimants
were Mr.. Hook and Mr. Crook, who,
by the justice of their decisions, gave
general satisfaction to the interested
parties, and by their speedy determin
alton of the different claims permitted
the rebuilding of the city to proceed
without the least delay. Hence arose
the saying, by Hook or by Crook, '
usually applied to the extrication O
persons or things from difficulty. =

Then why can't a patient who

Every person who has had occasion to
be hotel guest, no matter where, is

clean dish, and frequently glued to the
cover OF the stand, according to the

1t would be an easy-going individual,
and one singularly indifferent TO con-
siderations of cleanliness, who would
for moment think of using towel
that might have been used by the
previous occupant Of room at hotel,
but the instances are rare where the
same guest will hesitate to use the
soap he finds in the room, although it
may scarcely be dry from the ablution
of the last person who used it. The
travelling man does not stop to think
that the hotel soap is unexeeiied as a
distributor of cutaneous diseases, and
frequently those that are difficult of
eradication. The man who stops
habitually at the hotels here, there
and everywhere about the county,
and does not carry and use his own
soap, deliberately courts the contract

Points of Etiquette Observed at the Lega-

When the Chinese Minister gives a
formal dinner to any of his own coun-
trymen OF sufficient rank to be thus
honored or to Japanese visitors, he
never fails to go through a curious
form OF etiquette, Before taking, his
seat at the head of the board he ap-
proaches the guests, who stand in q
line around the table, and without
uttering syllable pushes each ten
derby and playfully and points signif-
icantly to the unoccupied post at the
head OF the table. 1t is etiquette for
the guests to observe rigid demean-
or, neither speaking nor moving. and
demonstrating by their in1exible at
titude their unworthiness to occupy
the place d'honneur. This over the
Minister sinks into his chair and
would no doubt have been greatly
surprised had anybody taken it. No
one speaks until the Minister drops q
remark, which is finally taken up and
commented upon. Then the chief
speaks again and more observations
follow; so it may be said that the
chairman in a measure supplies sub
| jects for conversation.
Another curious custom at these
formal dinners is that after the fish is
eaten they all rise simultaneously and
dust their chairs with their napkins.
