What One Woman Did.

Lend Hand Echoes.
Several years ago Miss Beilby, a young English
woman who had studied medicine to fit herself for
usefulness as missionary at Lucknow, in India,
was sent for by the wife of the native prince of
Puma, who was i'll. Puma was long distance
from Lucknow, and the journey was dangerous
one; if Miss Beilby went she would be separated
by more than hundred miles from any white man.
Her friends urged her to refuse. The English
woman was young and timid, but she knew her
duty; she went, remaining two months, and she
cured the patient
When she was about to return the Rance sent
for her, and begged her to go in person to Queen
Victoria with message that Indian women, not
being allowed the attendance of male physicians
died in great numbers every year for want of care
The Rance brought paper, pen and ink, and with
tears besought Miss Beilby to write her petition to
the queen to send them women doctors. "Write
it small, Saheba," she begged, "for shall put it
in locket and hang it about your neck, and you
must wear ii until you put it in the hands of the
great Rance herself. :"
Miss Beilby returned to England the next year,
obtained an interview with Queen Victoria, and
placed the locket in her hand with the message
The queen was deeply touched, and empowered
Lady Duferin, the wife of the vceroy of India, to
form an association for sending out female medical

have been sent out by the association, and Indian
women are now being educated as physicians and
nurses. An estate of fifty acres, with large build

"Then it is often said, :" said Alice Stone Black
well in her speech before the United States Senate
committee in February last, "of women that they
will be contaminated and degraded by the ballot
Men use this argument who themselves would take
a musket on their shoulders and fight to the death
if it was proposed to deprive them of their right of
suffrage They think that The right for them is
invaluable, but when anything is said about letting
women vote they draw such picture of hardships,
horrors, and contamination in the filthy pool of
politics, all of which they say involved in suffrage
that you would think it was the greatest kindness
in the world on their part to refuse to let women
have share in the ballot.
"Ihere is a story told of a boy whose little sis
ter found an apple and began to eat it. The boy
rushed up to her and with horror aud CONSERVATION
told her the apple was green; that if she ate it
she certainly would have the cholera The child
threw the apple down, when her brother immedi-
ately picked itup and began to eat it, The little
girl looked at him surprised for few moments and
said, will it not give you the cholera, too? ooh,
no. said he, boys don't have cholera"

Woman suffrage is coming to be recognized as
one of the clearly defined issues of the time.
Kansas, remarks the st. Paul Globe, the woman
suffrage experimental ground of the nation, seems
to have settled the question satisfactorily to its own
people. At the recent municipal elections in that
State, over forty thousand female suffragsts ap-
peared at the polls and deposited their ballots.
No other issue than decent municipal government
was presented, and the accepted explanation of
large female vote is that the women of Kansas fully
appreciate the dignity which has been conferred
upon them. Judging from the tone of the Kansas
press, the opponents of the woman suffrage move
ment in that State have given up the fight, and
concede that it is there to stay. 1t is generally
admitted that it has not had the demorazing effect
that was anticipated Labor Bulletin.

At the Vermont Methodist Conference, held a
few days ago at Morrisonville, Vt, the folloring
resolution was introduced by Rev. L. L. Beeman,
chairman of the committee on temperance, and
was passed by the conference by good majority:
"Resolved, That, in view of the strong tenn
perance sentiment among the women of our State,
and the probable sautary effect, upon the question,
of their votes if granted the ballot, we heartily
endorse the Vermont Woman Suffrage Association
in its efforts to secure municipal suffrage for
women"

Too many women give up study and mental cul-
ture when married, and dwinde into mere ma
chimes. Is it any wonder, when they must fill the
positions of wife, mother, housekeeper, nurse-girl
laundress, cook and seamstress? When men and
women awake to the fact that woman's time is just
as valuable as mans then woman will not be ex-
pected to master all branches of socalled woman's
work until she has neither strength or time for
cultivating her mind Educator.
Among the curious condolences is that two girls
from the same small Ohio village rejected two fu-
ture presidents of the United States, and both for
the same subsequently, Hayes was one of the
suitors, but the parents of the girl opposed the
match on the ground that he showed hardly sufl-
cient ability to warrant trusting their girl to his
care, Garfield paid attentions to the olher, and
again the parents objected that his future pros
poets were none too bright. Bedfoad is the vii
lage in question: Elk.

FACTS ABOUT THE FOOD
OF GROWING STOCK.

OF GROWING STOCK.
Philadelphia Record
The young stock, as well as the fe-
males used for breeding purposes, de-
mand diet rich in the elements that
tend to produce bone and flesh. Fat is
really undesirable, unless on animals in
tended for the butcher, yet it is not to
be inferred that breeding stock or grow
ing animals should not be in good
condition. A fat sow either proves
barren or produces litter of small,
weak pigs, and a fat cow is very
liable not only to produce small calf,
but also to an attack of milk fever. EX-
cessive fat, therefore, is detrimental to
breeding stock, and the food should con-
sist of those elements that assist in pro-
noting growth rather than fat.
All foods contain lime, but there is a
deficiency of lime in many of the foods
used almost exclusively for stock
There is only one pound of lime in 25
bushels of wheat or corn, and when we
take into consideration that the dam
must not only appropriate a portion of
this lime to repair her own bodily wastes,
but also to furnish bone for her embryo
young, it is plain that grain is not a
suitable food for breeding stock, unless
fed in connection with food that abounds
in lime. Hay, grass, or green food of any
kind, tends to supply the deficiency, and
100 pounds of good clover hay contains
3 pounds of lime, as well as other min
erals that are required. Clover is also
highly nitrogenouS, supplying flesh
forming elements, and also contains a
proportion of at-producing substances.
The farmer who is expecting his mares
or cows to come in should not fail to
supply liberal amount of clover (or
clover and timothy hay), reducing the
grain food.
Grain, being concentrated, supplies
the fat and starch more readily than
the coarser foods, but it is cheaper to use
those portions of the grain for breeding
stock and young animals that contain
the largest proportions of the elements
of growth, and bran and middlings will
give the best results for the purpose. 1t
NAV be safe to feed nothing but hay to
the cows if they are in very good condi-
tion, allowing, however, an occasional
mess of bran and linseed meal. Large
messes of corn meal should be avoided,
but ground oats may be used by way of
variety. The growing calf or colt will
not thrive unless it is given liberal
supply of food containing the mineral
matter so necessary to its rapid devel-
opment, which cannot be procured from
grain alone. Hay is, therefore, more
valuable than any other crop.

Drivers can accomplish more with far
less whipping than is customary, and

To drive horse more than two hours
on a hot day without giving him at
least half bucket of water. The great
dread of giving horses water while they
are warm and perspiring is a stupendous
error. Such diseases as collie, founder,
overheating and lung fever are brought
on by not giving horses water enough
instead of too much. will endeavOr to
explain this in few words if you will
cast aside your mistaken theories and
give this matter an unprejudiced thought
You drive your horse hot summer
dav, and he continues to pour out per
spiration by the gallon. The surface of
the skin is large, and the drying atmos-
phere transforms great quantities of per
spiration into invisible gaseous elements
hence it is impossible to estimate the
quantity of water that is in this way
eliminated from the blood; at any rate
it is considerable, and to maintain the
proper physical forces the water must be
replenished, and this by drinking. If
this demand of the system is not COM
piled with, the blood and general tenn
perature of the body becomes so alarm
ly increased that the above mentioned
diseases must follow. 1t may be inter
esting to your readers to learn that this
temperature may reach to ITO degrees.
The old adage of water, water, quench
the fire, is quite applicable here.
