thew have always held up as emblems
of purity becoming contaminated with
politics.
Woman, as an official candidate, will
pander to the low and degrading to Sc
cure votes just as men do! Is this ele-
waiting or purifying? The condition OF
woman is no better, nor is life mado
easier, or labor lighter, where she has a
right to vote. The woman who performs
her natural labors-bc they in the home
or outside as toilcr-if she at the same
time keeps herself informed in all that
interests her as q duty socially and po-
litically, must accomplish moro than the
strong man, and by harder work. Man
has accorded to woman equal rights su-
perior to those OF the ballot; she may
walk side by side with him in the battle
OF life; she may even outstrip him, as
there is no avenue not now open to the
woman who wishes to enter tho profess
sional arena against her male competl-
tors.
The true woman who would mako the
most of her every God-given attribute
asks not for the ballot, but for love and
homo, where tho carols of babyhood are
sung to the sweetest of babies, where
homo is heaven, and where the weary
husband may find restand aching hearts
sympathy.

SIoDt in n Life-Prcserver.

An amusing instance illustrates the
extreme of orercarefulness which some
persons exhibit in their eagerness to
avoid the danger OF drowning while on
steamboat trips. A young woman who
was passenger with some friends on
one of the steamers leaving Boston for
Maine city was asked in the morning
whether She had comfortable night,
and she replied that her sleep was dis
turbed because she had not got used to
the ife-preserver, which prevented her
getting into an easy position. 1t turned
out that she had fastened ono OF these
bulky contrivances round her body on
retiring for the night, and, imprisoned
in its folds, she had become black and
blue from the pressure of its hard can
vas covering upon her. This example
OF extreme precaution in the use OF life
preservers is striking commentary on
the need of ampler directions for their
application.

grade OF mems WOODEN socks Is made.
The manufacture OF the silk goods Is
confined to the East, and as a matter OF
fact the domestic mills are scattered all
over the country. Two years ago a
hosiery plant was established in Rhode
Island by a number OF Englishmen who
brought the machinery and the skilled
workmen to this country. Thero is con-
siderable demand for the American
made silk goods because they are much
cheaper in prico than the imported ar
ticle But tho sale OF silk goods is limit
ed. This much may be said in favor OF
our stocking industry; our cotton and
wooden goods arc improving in quality
every year and it will not be long before
they are fully equal in every respect
to the foreign hosiery. Cottons arc
largely worn now. There seems to be a
decreasing demand for WOODEN goods
This trade is one Of the most important
branches Of the dry-goods traffic, because
everybody must cover his or her feet,
oven if unable to buy Alexander kids
or scalskin sacques- A cotton stocking
cuts very unimportant figure in a
financial sense, albeit it is decidedly
comfortable when tho air is chilly. 1t
may be an interesting item to know,
says tho Chicago Post, that one Of the
largest importers of German hosiery in
the world is the leading dry-goods es-
adjustment of Chicago.
