now are living. Is 1t strange that, taking
into our thought all this experience Of
limitation and repression. there should
be an inferiority at present manifested?
Would it not rather be one Of the great
est marvels IL it were otherwise?
One word of nearer application to the
character of the inventions patented by
women. By the majority Of men these
would indeed be regarded as trivial
compared with those of the other sex,
and many of them certainly must be al
lowed to be so, though there are those
among them of which women only can
rightly Judge, they alone understanding
the value of the uses to which these are
applied. But supposing them to merit
the judgment bestowed on them, when
the nature of the education to which
woman has been confined in the past is
fully realized, what opportunity has
been hers, aside from exceptional in
stances, for developing any such facul-
ty, except in the direction of just these
trivial things?
The time for any just Judgment OF
woman's instincts and capabilities in
the world of material art is not yet.
When she is permitted to stand in So
ciety on equal terms with man, not as
his rival, but as the complement of his
real being, when she is accorded the
freedom to develop her latent powers in
all the ways that concern her best and
truest life, then may she rightly be
judged, and not till then, by the same
rules as man, and her work be fifty com
pared with his.

Only a woman. she can not feel
The public pulse OF woe or veal.
Only a woman. devoid OF mind,

Send them back to the harem's vail
The lands too free when votes prevail.

She pays no tax, she takes no stand
For schools and bonds; she can not wake
To mighty matters now at stake.
Hers 1t is to sweetly trust
That only man is wise and just;
Her own God given right to think
Is but snare on ruins brink;
Casting ballots is dangerous sport;

On schools and bonds election day.
Those working women! who should heed
The tiresome call OF squalid need!
Let them work or let them wed.
Let them look to men for bread.
WagesS pretty pass when women try
To join the laborer hue and cry.
Why, let them stay at home and wait
Till men can settle this debate.
Schoolss Our schools are well enough;
Those women boards are bosh and stun.
What right have they to have say
About teacher and his pay?
Saloons! Why, they bring trade to town.
And women folks would vote it down.
They're awful narrow in their views
And bound the ballot to abuse.
Only q woman, tired and faint,
Be she beggar or be she saint,
Let her go home and scrub and sew,
And ask her Lord what she would know.
Make way for men, good bad, black, whit
But keep the women out OF sight!

The Invention Faculty in Womsa Not
Fully Developed.
An editorial in the Providence Jour-
nal recently, on an alleged inferiority
Of the inventive faculty in women,
seemed to one reader very inconclusive,
because it failed to take account of the
most serious facts in the case. A very
little more reflection, says writer in
Woman's Journal would convince the
writer of the injustice, of pronouncing
thus definitely upon the inventive
power of one-half the race when, from
the creation down to period of con-
siderable less than q generation, there
was little to call forth this faculty in
woman or to stimulate to its exercise
In the case Of man it has been far other
wise. From the creator he was forced
under God to become a creator. The
necessities of existence demanded this.
He had no choice but to use all the
power he had, outward and inward
alike, for the support of his life. From
the first moment of his conscious life on
earth, his work was to cope with nature
and draw to the utmost from her hidden
resources.
Very different on the other hand was
the case of woman. Instead of the ne
cessity of finding out any power in her
self. her part without question was as
sumed to ba to the will Of man, and in
all outward things to have no will of her
own. And so it has been with little
change through all the centuries down

NEW NOTES FOR WOMEN.

The Harvard Annex thrives. Mrs.
Louis Agassiz in her report says that
they began ten years ago with twenty
five students. Now they have $50.
ONE of the most successful homeo-
pathic women physicians Of the West is
Miss Maria Dean, of Helena, Mont,
whose income last year was between
ST., 900 and $4,000. She received her
medical education in Boston and Ber-
lin.
ACCORDING to the statistics of the last
educational year, there were SO, 900 wom-
en- and 41,000 men in our regular col
leges; the charge can not be made that
women are indifferent to opportunities
for higher education, and the prospect is
that in few years collegiate women
will outnumber college-bred men.

them to matriculate regularly, but only
by way of experiment; and it is stipu.
lated that If the experiment does not
work we'll, the doors of the university
shall again be closed to women.
The Attorney General of Minnesota
gives his opinion as follows in regard to
the right of women to school suffrage In
that State: "A woman is entitled to
vote upon schc u matters when she is OF
the necessary age, twenty-one years,
has resided in the United States one
year, in the district four months. and is
either citizen of the United States or
has declared her intention to become

THE WAY TO WIN.
What Working Women Could Accomplish
with the Ballot.

What Working Women Could Accomplish
with the Ballot.
The Boston Globe says, discussing
woman suffrage:
''In trenchant letter on this subject,
Joe Howard recently pointed out that
our working women are at disadvan-
tage in the struggle for livelihood, be-
cause they have no political weight or
power. Surely this will not be denied.
Let the men engaged in any industry
unite to ask for any reasonable legisla.
ton to improve their condition, and both
parties are at once respectfully atten-
tive. But where is the practical poll.
tician who cares whether thousand or
two OF working women are satisfied or
dissatisfied with the conditions of their
employment? The philanthropist, the
humanitarian, the practical. Christian
cares, but the practical politician simply
says to himself that only votes count,
and that when it comes to votes women
are mot in it, And from this point OF
view the practical politician is right.
"How long will it take the multitude
of working women, competing for a
share of the worlds work and wages un-
der these unequal conditions, to realize
that the ballot is the only key that will
ever unlock the door for their advance
ment? That, with votes in their hands
to give or to withhold, they and their
interests will at once become objects OF
political concern and legislative atten.
ton?
''The cause of woman suffrage will be
quickly won when the hosts of labor
take it up in dead earnest as their own.
Not only would, the ballot help the
working women to larger consideration
and higher compensation for their labor;
it would improve the condition of work.
ing men also. Equal pay for equal la.
Dor, equal hours, equal conditions all
round for both sexes would be the sure
fruit of their equality before the law
and at the polls" .

VOTING A DUTY.

The Privilege of the Ballot Not Only a
Question of Right.
1t is sometimes asked if women have a
right to vote. Thequestion shouldrather
be, have they right not to vote? Take
the matter of schools. Let us suppose,
writes Mrs. A. M. Diaz, in the House
keeper, there are half dozen families
living together in a retired location
They desire school for their children
A site is to be chosen, building put
up, a teacher selected, and the course of
studies made out. Other matters are to
be Observation-Disclosures, size and de-
sign of the building, seats, desks,
length of sessions, and whether two or
one. Would the six mothers naturally
say: "This is matter to be left entire
ly to the fathers of our children. 1t is
not our place to interfere; we are not
sufficiently we'll informed; neither could
it make any difference, as we should
think exactly as our husbands think; or
IL we differed, we should quarrel. Home
Is our only sphere" Or would the six
fathers say, in regard to the school, that
the whole matter should be settled with
out any suggestions from the mothers?
Every one knows there would be mutual
con sultation and expression of opinion.
This would not be asked as right or
granted as right. 1t would be consid-
$red matter of course. And not only
80, but mother who should hold back
and say she had neither time nor inclin-
tatiQn to attend to such things would be
- ght STRANGELY Indifferent 70 her
CHI iren's welfare and neglectful of her
duty.
Now what is true of six mothers is
true of sixty, of six hundred, of six
thousand, of sixty thousand, of six hun
bred thousand. Numbers can not lessen
the individual motherly responsibility.
The very fact that home is a woman's
sphere makes it her duty to see that the
Children of that home are trained under
the best possible influences. When the
neighborhood becomes city, and the
school management can not receive in
dividual attention, this management is
left to representatives., and. one queer
thing about the matter is that these rep
resentatives are in almost all cases men.
They are chosen to do exactly what the
united fathers and mothers of the neigh
borhood did; yet they are chiefly men,
in most cases wholly so, and are chosen
% by men in nearly ever instance. In the
neighborhood, the school affairs con.
cerned every individual. In the city,
they are called public, but they are
private inst the same, and concern every
individual. Public affairs are only pri.
vate affairs bundled together because
they can not be handled separately
At present, mothers rear their chill
dren with care, watch anxiously over
them until they reach the school age
five or six years-then turn them en-.
tirely over to tire management of men
selected and chosen by men, and often
the whole matter is settled by personal,
or worse, by political considerations. 1,
is not right that women should shirk
their duty in this way. The duty should
be thrust upon them" They should
take time and seek opportunities fol
forming an opinion, and should express
1t by ballot. Voting is only another
name for expressing opinion.

Almost a Surety.

The creamery and cheese factory for Prescott Is now almost assured. some of our business men may have to double their subscriptions on the wind up in order to get it, but we learn many are willing to do this. Quite number of our prominent farmers have expressed themselves favorable to the enterprise and will take stock ill it, when asked.
 There is no question but that it will pay well here. Besides it's be- ing paving investment, it will be of great advantage in many ways. It will build up new industry, and thus build up our town. Then we can always get nice fresh creamery butter cheap. By all means let's have the creamery and cheese factory.
 Business men of Prescott, capital ists, farmers, don't let this enter prise leave you. We should not over look this opportunity to build up an industry that will directly contribute to the welfare of every branch of business, open up good source oi steady revenue to a large number of farmers and whatever benefits the agricultural elements helps the en' tire community. Beside, the pro- duce is sold for cash, and no part of it has to be sent away. It IS all kept in circulation here at home.
