Should Women Vote?
Lucy Stone, In The Home -Maker.l


Continued from last sreek.)
The general argument for woman suffrage is the
same as the argument for having republican form
of government rather than monarchy. 1t is fair
and right that those who are required to obey the
law should have voice as to what the law shall
be, and that those who are required to pay taxes
should have voice as to the amount OF tax and
the way in which it shall be spent. In deciding
what shall be done, where everybody's interests
are concerned, we take everybodys opinion, and
20 according to the wish Of the majority. AS we
cannot suit everybody, we do what will suit the
greatest number. That seems to be, on the whole,
the fairest way. vote is simply written ex-
preston of opinion. In taking vote to get at
the wish of the majority, certain classes of per-
sons are always passed over, whose opinion, for
one reason or another, is not considered worth
counting. In America these classes are children,
idiots, lunatics, felons and women. There are
good and obvious reasons for making all these ex-
ceptions but the last. 1t is self-evident that the
opinions of children ought not to be counted, nor
those of idiots, insane persons and criminals. Is
there any equally good reason why, in taking the
sense Of the community, no account should be
taken of the opinions of woman? Let us consider
few or the reasons IldU arc Souolahy SiNSh'
It is said that women are already virtually rep
resented by the votes of men. The existence OF
such laws upon our statute books as those pre-
viously quoted is enough to disprove this claim.
Il is not that men mean to be unjust or unkind to
women but every class Of voters looks at questions
from its own standpoint only, and hence takes a
one-sided view. 1t is well-accepted legal maxim
that Legislation is always in favor Of the legisat-
ing class >, .ua
1T is said that women would be corrupted and
degraded by voting. Why should it corrupt
woman to take an intelligent interest npublc ques-
tions, or how can it degrade her to be recognized
as worthy of havingher opinion counted' Whether
it is or is not degrading to take part in pohtlcs de-
bends entirely upon the spirit in which it is done,
Bribery and corruption, the scramble for "spolls,, .
and the brawls Of pot-house politicians, are de-
Grading to men, and would be degrading to women,
We should all of us be sorry to see women mixed
IN in them. But these things are no necessary
mart of suffrage Good men do not partlcl pate IN
them, and there would be no need tnat go0o
women should do so. ..

Didn't Bother Him,

When Sam Jones was preaching in a
western town, some time ago, he was
annoyed by a young man who was whis-
pering to his girl. Finally the preacher
could stand it no longer, so he looked
straight at the young man and said:
Il will pause until the young man in
the back of the room gets through talk
ing"
The silence was intense. and every eye
was on the young man, who was still
whispering to his girl. He had beer so
busy that he had not caught the preach
er's censure. Mr.. Jones repeated his re-
mark, and this time the young man
heard him. Not an instant did he hest
tate, but he Immediately tried to square
himself. While every n was watching
him he looked squarely at the preacher
and said:
go right ahead, Mr.. Jones, you are
not bothering me."-Chicago Special

Safe Experts.

In Cincinnati there is a man by the
name of John Henry Williams, and this
secluded individual sports the reputation
of being 1.-The best safe expert in the
country" If one should watch him as
he gracefully balances a billiard cue pre-
paratory to making a hard shot, sur
rounded by the elite of social lions with
eagles eyes, he would little think that
this white knuckled gentleman is a man
who handled iron and steel for a liveli-
hood.
But it is so, and there is perhaps no
other man in the world who can Judge
Of the workmanship Of a cracksman bet
ter than he. Almost instantly after
viewing a cracked" safe he can tell by
whom the work has been done. He has
been engaged in this business for many
years, and quite successfully.
Yes, the man who knows the inside
and outside Of a safe," said he to a re-
porter, has about as much as he can do
following up successful and unsuccessful
attempts to "crack" them by professional
burglars, for no occurrence of this kind
takes place without the police sending
for experts to make an examination.
Indeed, the statements which appear
in the newspapers" he continued. latter
an attack on a vault or safe are always
given by n Of our men. The police
get the credit for such discoveries, but
we are content with our remuneration"

A Deaf Cat in High Life.

Snowfall is one of the best known An
goras in the city. and although she is
but 4 years of age she is the mother of
seventeen kittens, every n of which
has been of spotless wilderness. She
weighs twelve pounds and has a tail that
waves in the air like an immense banner.
Her eyes are sky blue and she never
heard a sound in her life. She has been
thoroughly trained and knows many
very amusing tricks, among which is
that of fetching the ball when thrown
by her mistress. She performs this with
all the fidelityo of a we'll trained retriever.
and her ability as a catcher would make
Buck Ewing green with envy. Her
marked peculiarities are her grace and
g~entleness and her habit of playing with
shadows.
A moving object has no attractions for
her, but if a shadow is thrown upon the
floor and moved rapidly about SNOWFALL
will chase it for hours with a grace and
elegance of movement that would eclipse
those of the finest ladies in the land.
Notwithstanding her fastidiousness in
other respects S~nowbalrs appetite IS
gross, and she prefers raw liver to any
other article Of diet.-New York World.

Nails in His Brain.

At Eastbourne, England, a tradesman
named Thomas Wickens was charged
with attempting to commit suicide by
driving four long nails into his head.
DR.. Mcqueen produced four nails which
he had with difficulty withdrawn from
the head of Wickens. These nails had
penetrated three inches and gone through
the brain, but, to the surprise of the
medical staff at the Memorial hospital,
Wickens had fully recovered. Wickens
said he drove the nails into his head in
succession with a hammer, and that he
had felt better in his head since the &C.
currence. He is now sane and able to re-
sumo business. and medically is regarded
as the most wonderful ase on record.
The magistrate ordered him to be dis
charged.-London Tit-Bits.

The Darky Of the Rice Fields.

IT is Of the rice fields of the tide lands
Of The Georgia and Carolina coast, and Of
the adjacent islands, that we would
speak. To those who have never been
among them these rice plantations would
afford much that is both novel and inter
esting. This evergreen region, where
the plaintive notes of the whippoorwin
and song Of the sweet throated hooking
bird float up through the moss covered
trees, and negroes, fever and ague, rice
birds and alligators abound, would indeed
seem to be a new world TO our northern
brethren. and the picturesque effects
charm the eye of the stranger artist.
The rice field darby is himself a dis
tinct type, totally different in both as
pect and dialect from the negroes Of the
interior; and a not uninteresting sight is
the force, as with shout and song they
take their way along the embankment
to the rice field. Their ancestors for
generations back, or as they would tell
you, mi farrar an mi granfarrar," have
lived and labored in these malarial re-
g1ons, n they accept chill and fever
and other infelicities incident to these
localities as unavoidable evils, plodding
on with no higher aim nor hope, careless
for the future and not over anxious for
the present.
The cost Of living is small, as not
many nor very warm garments are con-
sidered necessary, and the rice field
darky's ideas Of a wardrobe are ex-
tremely limited, from both blissiul igno-
rance and choice. Fish and game are
plentiful, and in these regions a heavy
diet is to be INDUCED in only at great
risk.-L. w. Robarts in Popular Science,

Georgia Cotton for Spinning.


A northern spinner recently mentioned
his estimated waste at 16 $40 per cent,
but subsequently wrote me that he
thought it was then about IA per cent.
L think that northern spinners usually
estimate it at 16 per cent. Even IA per
cent. seems a very large wastage from
"middlings," the grade my CORE
spondent uses, which l attribute to his
using the gulf and southwest cottons-
from Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, etc.,
made mostly by negro labor-in prefer
ence to cottons from the upper counties
OF Georgia, made largely by white peo-
ple-the farmers, their wives and chill
dren, who certainly handle the feecy
staple with far more care.
The cotton marketed at Marietta, in
Cobb county, about twenty-five miles
above Atlanta, is generally beautifully
white and clean. 1t is grown much
more abundantly than before 1860, and
almost always by the aid of fertilizers,
which hasten the maturity of the cotton,
SO that the crop of that part of the coun-
try IS much sooner prepared for market
than IN the lower counties, where it was
often plowed in to make way for the
new crop.
The prejudice in favor of the Gulf cot
ton has always seemed to me to be un-
founded, though l know it to prevail in
Old as well as in New England, and gen
orally in the north. These northern
spinners have often bought uplands in
New Orleans, shipped from Columbus
and Macon in this state.-Henry V.
Meigs in Popular Science.

An Exclamation of a Sheep Call.

"Co-day" is derived by one authority
from Come, Dick" Dick having been a
name as much in vogue for a male sheep
as Jock was for a horse. But "Co-dan"
may come very easily from Come, Nan"
Nan or Nanny is still a favorite name
for a sheep, as well as for a goat. GO
dan" would come by corruption from
Conan" and "Co-day" from that, in
order to make it more explosive and
easily heard at a distance.
''Co-dar" is said to be derived from
Come, Darby" another name once
often used for a sheep.-Boston Trans

To Extermipate Garden Pests.

The best and cheapest protectors
against destructive insects which attack
small garden plants is to place bottom
less flower pots over them, admitting
air and light from above, but excluding
the d~epredators at the sides. A short
piece of pipe tile, several inches in di-
ameter, answer the same purpose as
well.-Popular Gardening.

A MEMORY.

A wall Of a child at midnight,
The chime Of a minister bell.
The sorrowful moan of a sorrowing soul
And the sound Of a passing knel.
An old worn book on a corner shelf
And a spray Of faded yew,
A locket with hair all golden and fair
And a ribbon Of faded blue.
A needle case, both empty and old,
And a case with hidden spring,
Wherein two golden watch keys lie,
A heart-and a wedding ring.
take the book from the corner shelf,
And the ribben of faded blue;
And before me stands the form / loved
With hair Of a golden hue.
And / gaze so long In those earnest eyes
That my soul grows weak with pain;
Then she fades away-andI gently lay
The old boob down again.

OF Long

The fashion Of telling the history of a
thing. whether or not the occasion re-
quires its telling, is a very common II
with orators and writers who do not
know exactly how else to spin their
yarns.
A certain worthy merchant was once
quite unexpectedly called upon to pre-
side at a banquet. He wanted to say
something in opening the ''~post-prandial
exercises" which would be graceful and
sound well, and so he began in the fol
lowing words:
Gentlemen: The practice of eating
meals-ahem!-as we have reason TO be-
lieve. dates back-oohoo!-to the most
remote antiquityr'-Youth's Companion.
This is Nym Crinkle's clever and just
estimate of Boucicault: He was not a
maker, bat he was such a fashioner that
genius itself looked on with wonder at
his talent. and as the man who digs the
trench that brings the water to the
thirsty camp is better than the chemist
who can make oxygen and hydrogen
unite let Us believe that the world is less
arid than it would have been If Dion
Boucicault had not lived"
