il no reason whatever to believe The
very men who draw so terrible pic
ture of the results of exercising the
suffrage. would shoulder their muskets
and fight the battles of 1776 all over
again. if any one tried to take their
own right to vote away from them. A
little girl found an apple and began to
eat it. Her brother rushed up to her,
with face of horror and consterna-
ton. and assured her that the apple
was green, and that if she ate it she
would certainly have the cholera and
die. The child threw down the apple.
and her brother at once picked it up

Suffrage is degrading or elevating
just according to the spirit in which it
is exercised. 10 use ones vote as a
means of personal ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, a
mere selfish scramble for office or for
''spoils." is degrading. of course. To
cast it conscientiously for the best men
and the best measures is not degrading.
but elevating. 1t is not easy to see how
it could degrade any woman to take an
intelligent interest in the affairs of her
country. or to be recognized as worthy
of having her opinion counted.
But it is intimated that there are in
Connecticut perhaps 50, 000 very young
and very thoughtiess women, who
might fall into unbecoming familiarity
with men if allowed to vote 10 this it
can only be said that very young women
would not be entitled to vote, and very
thoughtless ones do not want to. More
over, no serious trouble of this kind has
arisen where woman suffrage has been
tried.
1t is no doubt very desirable that
women should be educators of chill
dren and representatives of the purest
society morals" But this is not IN
compatible with their casting vote for
pure morals and for the protection OF
their children from legalized evils.
Nor is it easy to see how the mother
deprived OF a vote occupies a ''higher
and nobier position than the mother
who possesses a vote. As a matter of
fact, woman present political posi-
ton is neither high nor noble. H. 3.

M. A.. and Phi. ID. In increasing num-
bers each year. we'll educated women
leave the colleges prepared for good

They become physicians. lawyers. min

women, and are everywhere useful

not time for the State to consider what
it looses by excluding such women from
the right of suffrage?

TUBERCULOSIS DISEASE.
Tho Transmission of Phthisis BetwecI
Man and Beast.

Tho Transmission of Phthisis Between
Man and Beast.
DR.. G. F. Brush, of New York, has
collected large number of statistics,
by which he seeks to prove that tuber-
culous disease in man is closely con-
nected with the same disease in cat
tie. This theory is contrary to the
view generally held. it being supposed
that, owing to Difference in normal
temperature, Transmission of phthlsis
between man and beast would be next
to impossible. But DIR. Brush's sta
tistics show that where cattle are COM
mon, and dairy produce necessarily
forms a regular part of the daily food
OF the people. there may be found the
victims OF consumption. In other dis
tricts where the dairy COW is absent.
there is also an absence of phthisis.
Statistics are VIGOROUSLY uncertain in
the evidence which they afford. and
further inquiry is needed before the
theory enumerated by DR.. Brush can be
accepted.

HOW TO DlSlNFECT,
Tho Eest Ways Of Killing Disease Germs
in Clothing and Rooms.

III ana fSOOmS.
Clothing which requires dislnfect-
ing should be submitted for about
three hours TO a temperature of $50
degrees in a chamber charged with
sulphuric fumes from large quantity
of sulphur. The chamber should be
so constructed as to prevent the fumes
from passing of. No germs can
stand this.
After room has been used by
person sick with any contagious dis
ease, it becomes necessary to disinfect
it before it is fit to be used again.
This is done by removing and burning
the paper on the walls. removing the
bedsteads and other furniture. and e1-
posing them to air and wind. and CIV
ing them fresh coat OF varnish; BY
having the mattress made over new
and the hair boiled; by burning in the
room three pounds of sulphur, and by
whitewashing, painting and papering
the room anew.
Now that it is generally conceded
that consumption is caused by germs
which multiply in the lungs. a method
of disinfectipg them which shall bs
harmless has been sought for, but as
yet without avail The vapor of
creosote, the oil of the eucalyptus and
carbolic acid have been tried. and, to
some extent. they may, paralyze or
stun the germs and prevent their
rapid increase. but as the passages Of
the lungs are delicate and the vapor
can not be brought very near to them
without injury. the good effects arc
slight But there is one method
which can not fail to prove beneficial.
and that is the inhalation of large
quantities Of fresh. pure air. This is
worth more than any disinfectant for
the lungs. and can do no harn--Prac-

the streets were somber. Baron Won Lud-

snoozing outside the kitchen door.
Across the way, by tho alleged hotel, the
