The Marriage System.

with all its faults, and they are
many" says Frances E. Willard in a
recent speech. Il believe the present
marriage system to be the greatest tri-
umph Of Christianity. and that it has
created and conserves more happy
homes than the world has ever before
known. Any law that renders less
binding the mutual. lifelong loyalty Of
one man and woman to each other,
which is the central idea of every home.
is an unmitigated curse to that man
and woman. to that home and to hui.
mainly. Around this union. which
alone renders possible pure society
and a permanent State, the law should
build its utmost safeguards. and upon
this union the Gospel should pronounce
its most sacred benedictions But.
while hold these truths to be self
evident. I believe that constant evo-
luton is going forward in the home as
in every other place, and that we have
but dimly dreamed the good in store
for those for whom God for hottest love
hath made"

Killed a Scorpion Snake.

MIR. l. j. Reese, OF Carroll County,
Ga, is exhibiting snake which he
killed and which he says is the out
growth of a red-headed scorpion. Mr..
Reese says he has seen these scorpion
snakes before they had shed their fore.
legs-seen them when they were snake
and lizard combined. The species OF
lizards which make these snakes are
usually found about rotten logs or
stumps. having red heads and green
and reddish stripes lengthwise their
bodies. and usually larger and more
clumsy than other lizards When
they have turned into snakes they are
very hard and sleek, and are of q red
dish brown color on the back, with
black and white specks and black
stripe along the center. Tho sides
have white stripes along them. About
two inches Of the tail is brown and
very hard and sharp. and tho belly is
perfectly white. These snakes taper
gradually from the bead backward
They do not grow very large. The
one spoken of above was two feet and
four inches long, and from the size Of

Poor Eve! she wanted to Be wise; but
she did not desire to be the only wise

her husband. The serpent the most
subtle OF all the beasts. seemed to know
which of the two most desired knowl-

disobedience and theft, but do we not
sympathize with her keenly in her de-
sire for more knowledge? And how
severely she has been punished and her

THE HIGHER law.


Jugtioo IN the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS VloUD
Of IN Important saADsct.
Happy the wife who has husband
who appreciates the part she has In
making the home-the part he can not
perform and for which money can not
pay. Yet many good and otherwise
sensible women do not feel free to use
the family funds as they do the smaller
sums they are able to earn themselves,
even when the husbands are ready to
acknowledge. their equal right in the
family purse It may be partly the
fault of the wife. If she allows herself
to ask a. favor what is already her
own. she places herself In a wrong posi-
ton. Her husband does her no favor
in permitting her to buy their children's
clothes or her own. Yet often one
would suppose SO from the grudging
manner in which he will ask If some
small sum will not be enough There
are honorable exceptions-many Of
them-and one good man has often been
heard to refer to his immense indebted
ness to the wife who has worked for
her bread and clothes so many years,
when, had her services been paid for
as housekeeper. cook, dressmaker,
tailor and maid-of-all-work. she would
now be in comparative wealth. Mutual
love and common interest make every
privation endurable; and there should
be no thought of ''mine" and ''thine"
on either side Then if proper provi-
sion is made for the wife in case she be
left alone, she will not have to reflect.
as many sorrowing widow has done,
on the injustice that deprives her Of
entire control of the home she has had
an equal or harder share in earning
and making comfortable. So long as
the law does not do justly to women.
every man should provide for his own
wife.-Rural New Yorker.

Entitled to Vote.

The general argument for letting wo-
men vote, says A. S. Blackwell, in
Woman's Journal, is the same as
the argument for having q re-
publican form of government rather
than monarchy. 1t is fair and right
that those who are to obey the laws
should have a voice in making them.
and that those who pay taxes should
have voice as to the amount Of the
tax and the way in which it shall be
spent The fundamental principle of q
republican government, roughly stated,
is this: In deciding what shall be done.
where everybody's interests are con-
cerned. we take everybody's opinion,
and 60 according to the wish of tho
majority. As we can not suit every
body, we do what will suit the greatest
number. That seems to be, upon the
whole, the fairest way. A vote is
merely written expression of opinion.
1t is written down and put into a box.
20 that it can be counted.
In thus taking the sense of the COM
munity, certain classes of persons are
always passed over, whose opinions, for
one reason or another. are not thought
worth counting. The laws of different
States differ, but all agree in excluding
minors, idiots, lunatics, felons and wo-
men. There are good and obvious
reasons for all these exceptions but the
fast 1t is evident that the opinions of
children ought not to be counted. nor
those of idiots, lunatics and criminals
Is there any equally good reason why.
in reckoning up the opinions of the
community. no account should be taken
Of the opinions of women? If not, they
ought to be allowed to vote.

Surplus Women.

A recent article by Mrs. Anne Wit
tenmyer, in the Northern Christian
Advocate argues against allowing wo-
men to be lay delegates to the Metho-
dist General Conference. pointing out
that there are more men than women in
the United States. and implying that all
women ought, therefore, to be fully
busted in taking care of the homes Of
these men. There are no surplus
women in the United States" says
Mrs Wittenmyer-an assertion which
would be more to the point if the men
were not massed in the Western States
and the women In the Eastern. The
same issue of the Christian Advocate
publishes the following appeal:

ITEMS FOR WOMEN.

The Women's Anthropological So
ciety Of America, the first purely scien-
tific society directed exclusively by
women. was organized in Washington
in June. 1885. and has since held fort
nightly meetings from November to
May. 1t now has three honorary,
eleven corresponding and forty-six
active members.
CALIFORNIA has abolished the exclu-
sion Of women from voting for school
trustees. California has 158. $50 square
miles and 1850. 600 people Official esti-
mate). The woman suffrage belt' is
enlarged to 2,7S8. 900 square miles, and
now includes the whole Pacific coast
from Mexico to Alaska Twenty-Five
out of forty-five States and Territories
have now enacted some form of woman
suffrage.
In Sioux County. N. j., the other
day. certain local politicians tried by
sharp practice to prevent the election
of a woman as school trustee. the clerk
whose duty it was to call the. meeting

ton should be held. and called the

THERE are all kinds of miners, but two classes are particularly noticeable Notably the miner who works with his pick and the one who does his develop ment work with his mouth. The for mer like every man who earns an honest living is esteemed and takes a second place to no one on this terrestrial sphere for intelligence, pluck and honor. Not so however, with the one who works his mouth. He'rarely does days work: he is bar room hummer; parasite: as rule large mouthed braggart whose whole stock in trade is his cheek; he is dead beat; commonly ignorant of mining; he is schemer and a detriment to the camp so unfortunate as to possess him.

An investigation should be had and Ii
 upon making same it should be ascertain
 ed that the Tucson and Globe road If not to be built in the near future, ouI citizens should get together and build a good wagon road to Globe along the line as laid down in the report of Capt Miltimore, whose report on same can be found elsewhere. According to the esti- mate, and he examined the route by direction of the department commander, the road can be made passable by all classes of wagons for less than S25O0,OO. The trade of Globe and that lying contiguous to the road is admittedly SO great that the sum re- quired to build the road dwindles into insignficance by comparison. We feel sure that if a meeting of our business men was held and the matter properly placed before them, the needful S250O,OO would be once subscribed. Let them first learn the true status of the Tucson and Globe railroad and if it does not pan out satisfactorily then go to work and build the road that will give them an immense and profitable trade.
