woMAn.s CAUSE IS MANS.

The woman's cause is mans; they rise or sinh
Together. dwarfed or gollike, bond or free.
For she that out of Lethe scales with man
The shining steps Of Nature. shares with man
His nights his days, moves with him to one
goal.
Stays all the fair young planet In her hands
If she be small slight-natured, miserable,
How shall man grow? As far as in use lies
We two will serve them both in aiding her
Will clear away the parasitic forms
That seem to keep her up but drag her down
Will leave her space to burgeon out Of all
Within her-let her make herself her own
To give or keep, to live and learn and be
All that not harms distinctive womanhood.
For woman is not undeveloped man,
But diverse: could we make her as the man.
Sweet love we're slain; his dearest bond is this,
Not like to like, but like in difference.
Yet in the long years liker must they grow,
The man be more Of woman she OF man;
He gain in sweetness and in moral height
Nor lose the wrestling thews that throw the
world;
She mental breadth nor fall in childward care
And so these twain, upon the skirts of Time,
Sit side by side full-summed in all their pow
ers,
Dispensing harvest, sowing the To-Be,
Se:freverent each and reyerencing each,
Distinct in Municipalities.
But like each other even as those who love.
Their comes the statelier Eden back to men:
Then reign the worlds great briGals, chaste
and calm;
Then springs the browning race OF humankind.

a Contradiction.

The municipal elections in Kansas
have contradicted the standard argu-
ment of the opponents of equal suf-
frage that women would not use the
franchise If they had it. This is the
third year they have enjoyed the priv
ilege in this State, and with each sue
ceeding year their interest has increas-
ed. The vote this year has been more
than double that of last Women are
realizing more and more every year
that good laws well administered are
the safeguards and protection to their
homes and loved ones; that without
the ballot to enforce 1t, their influence
is almost powerless to stem the tide Of
intemperance and immortality which
sweeps away so many of their dear
ones. A mother may pray and beg, but
while the saloon-keeper has the vote
and she has not, he can laugh at her
entreaties and scott at her prayers.
But with the ballot in her hand. both
can be made effective. (Kan.)

THEN AND NOW,
The Improvement I'm woman's Condition
in the Last Century.

The Improvement I'm woman's Condition
in the Last Century.
In Washington's time women had
scarcely any rights or opportunities out
of the domestic circle. A married wo-
man was a legal nOnentity. The hus-
band was the legal guardian of the
wife. or rather he possessed all the
rights of both. In law the twain were
one, and that one was the husband.
To-day wife is in many respects a
distinct. Independent being in law. She
may acquire, hold, convey and will
property. She may engage in business,
carry on trade, make contracts. She
may sue and be sued, may enforce her
rights and defend them.
Both married and unmarried women
have acquired political rights In GER
tain territories a suffrage equal to that
enjoyed by men has been conferred on
them. In some States they may vote
for certain officers and hold certain
offices. Everywhere there is a grow
ing tendency to enlarge the political
rights of all women as there is to en-
large the civil rights of married women.
Still more striking has been the open
ing OF vast and varied sphere for the
occupation of women. In literature
they have come to the front in large
numbers. In trade and industry count
less thousands are employed. They
-,
and factory. A large proportion OF the
sex have ceased to be dependents. They
have become wage-earners and self
supporters. They are respected and
honored for battling with the neces-
stiles of life and earning their own
livelihood. And this vast army Of en-
ployed women and girls is destined to
increase with every coming year.

No Sex OF the Mind-What the Evolution

In the evolution of society, says Rev.
Joseph B. Cottrell, ID. D., in the Wo-
mans Journal, there have been revolu-
tons, but all upon the heaven-ordained
axis and within the divinely appointed
sphere. That marks the individuality
of humanity as coordinate with the
ranks of intelligence, beneath and
above. He that breaketh a hedge
shall be bitten by serpent" but the
field OF human privilege and enterprise
must be enlarged in spite ofthe snakes.
Let US candidly inquire whether it is
wisest and most just to hinder or to
help the movement now being made on
behalf OF co-ordinating women with
men all along the lines OF industrial.
social. educational. governmental and
religious engagements.
There is no sex in mind. Examples
are So numerous of the capabilities of
woman in every range of intellectual
life that it is unnecessary to discuss this
question. 1t is established that men are

WHAT LISTING" MEANS.
A Method of Corn Planting Very Popular
In the Wcstern States.

Method of Corn Planting Very Popular
|. In the Western States.
|. Doubtless many. if not most, farm
ers in the State, have no definite idea
of what is meant by the method OF
planting corn called listing. 1t is a
method by which the blowing or stir
ring" OF the stubble. or even OF last
years corn ground. and the. planting
can be combined In one operation with
out any other preparation OF the seed
bed. 1t is much practiced in the west
central part Of the Mississippi Valley,
where the soil is inclined to be open.
and where droughts are the rule rather
than the exception. in some counties
in Kansas, for instance. the methods
common elsewhere are seldom used,
and most of the corn in that entire State
is listed. During the two or three
years past, manufacturers have begun
to introduce listers into the Northwest
hence our interest in trying the meth
cd here. A lister is a stirring pillow
with two mould boards, one throwing
to the right, the other to the left Each
lay cuts six or seven inches wide. The
lister is run through the stubble or corn
field, guided by stakes or other marks,
making furrow or dead furrow" for
the corn with ridge. or "back fur
rows" between these. Some pass over
with the listing pillow. and afterwards
follow in the middle OF the burrows
with one-horse corn drill. The more
approved way, however. is to use the
combined implement, which is listing
pillow carrying a drill attachment. ope-
rated by wheel running behind in the
furrow. The corn is dropped an inch
or more beneath the bottom of the fur
row by means of a mole or shoe-like
follower The corn is usually bar
rowed once or twice with a smoothing
harrow, run lengthwise with the fur
rows and afterwards cultivated two to
four times. In each operation part OF
the ridge is worked back into the fur
row, leaving the land about level the
last time though and at the same time
killing around the corn.-Bulletin Of

An Irish Woman's Excellent Way OF Cook.
ing the Indispensable Tubers.
That the potato is the most popular
Of all the vegetables can not be denied,
for there are few homes in our country
in which it does not form an important
part of each days fare. Indeed. in the
majority Of homes it makes its appear
ance at each meal. either boiled. baked
or in some of the many dishes in which
it is the principal part. No matter in
what way it is cooked it is generally
welcome. As to its healthful proper
ties authorities disagree. but where any
harm has resulted from the use of pota-
toes it can usually be traced to the cook
ing Of them. A soggy. watery potato
is one of the most unhealthy things any
one can eat. yet this is too often the
kind that is generally put on a table.
To be sure, the most important thing to
consider is to have the vegetable good,
yet good cook may render a very poor
potato palatable, while bad cook can
render good one positively uneat-
able.
There are few ways of cooking a po-
tato as acceptable to a lover Of this
vegetable as boiling, providing it is
done properly. 1t is q mistake made by
many women to cut off the ends or dig
out the eyes. II nice. mealy boiled
potato is wanted, it can never be OBJ
tanned if the skin is broken before boil
ing. Always choose as good potatoes
as can be had, and wash in several
waters until perfectly clean. but do not
cut in any part unless there is an ap-
pearance Of rot, which ought always be
cut out Have the potatoes as near one
size rs possible, put in pot or sauce

water. Set on the stove and let boil.
but be careful that they do not boil too
fast, or they will break into pieces be-
fore they are done. Before setting on
the stove. throw into the water tea
spoonful Of salt Keep the pot covered.
while boiling, until the potatoes are

utes to half an hour, according to their
size To tell when they are done. try
with a fork, and if the fork goes
through the thickest part of one easily,
they are ready to be taken from the
stove. Remove the pot from the stove
and drain of all the water, then set it
on the back of the stove with the cover
partly off. so as to let out the steam.
and shake it once or twice so the .pota.
toes may dry equally on all sides.
Serve as soon as possible. and II
the potatoes are not neatly, the fault
lies in themselves and not in the cook
ing. Never cover potatoes tightly
after draining. without first letting out
the steam, or they will be sure to be
soggy and watery, no matter how good
a vegetable they were previous to boil
