Learn TO Be self-R.,,,r.

People who have been bolstered up all
heir lives are seldom good for any thing
In crisis. When misfortune comes
they look around for somebody to cling
to or lean upon. Once down, thew are
utterly helpless, and can never find
their feet again without assistance.
Such silken fellows no more resemble self
made men who have fought their way to
position, making difficulties their step-
ping-stones and deriving determination
from defeat, than bushes resemble oaks.
1t is unwise to deprive young men of the
advantages which result from energetic
action by assisting them over obstacles
which they ought to be able to sur
mount alone. Did man ever learn to
swim well who placed his whole conf
dence in cork jacket? This assistance
may be of advantage for few lessons.
but he who would learn to care for him
self must cast aside all such supports

CATARRH OF The STOMACH.

In some cases the skin becomes hot
and dry, particularly the feet and
hands; in others, again, the feet and
hands are cold, and there is great heat
in the body and head. Sometimes
there are sharp pains, front and back,
under the shoulders, and there may be
chronic diarrhea. The tongue is usual
ly coated, and often there is nausea and
vomiting after meals. The appetite is
variable, generally poor, and there is
often an excessive flow of saliva. The
patient suffers from an increased fever
during the night, frequently perspires
while asleep and is troubled with
"heartburn." Generally the face is
flushed or the skin becomes sallow, and
sometimes there is dry, hacking cough,
while the voice is hoarse and husky.
Not all of the foregoing symptoms
are present in every case. The more
complicated the disease has become,
the greater the number and diversity
of symptoms. Generally the liver is
torpid and many times the kidneys
more or less involved.
It is in the cure Of this distressing
malady that DR.. Pierce's Golden Med

The Abuse Of the Ballot System by Incom-
~ petent Voters
While reading in recent number OF
the Woman'ss Journal the article en-
titled, 1.-THE Question of Capacity" ]
was reminded, writes Fannie L. Fan
cher, of Dodge Center, MINI, to that
paper, of an incident that occurred at
our last election, which, l fain must re-
late, since it is so apropos.
Twisted the polls, and deposited my
vote for county superintendent. Mind
you, our vote, the ''wimmen's" vote
could not have been in greater demand
had we had the whole loaf instead of the
''crumb.p Moreover, we received the
most deferential treatment, even from
men who were avowed anti-suffragists:
When returning from the hall, l met an
elderly lady, accompanied, as usual, by
an imbecile male relative of some fifty
years of age, whom she took care of, re-
ceiving pay from the county for SO doing.
Judge of my feelings to learn that she
went not to deposit her vote, but to)have
this man drop a vote, which she handed
him! And the men present uttered NO
protest, though they knew that this
was a direct violation of the law, the
man not only being an idiot, but a
pauper. But they desired votes, and
they knew this mans would swell their
majority; hence it was counted.
In righteous Indignation, said to my
''liege lord" who is not woman suffra-
gist: "How could you stand there and
witness the perpetration of such an in
suit to your wife? Why did not the men
present rise en- mdsse and say: No, if
our intelligent, well-educated wives
can not vote, we challenge the vote of
this person." Note his reply. With a
laugh, for the men seemed to consider
this in the light of joke, he said:
''He was just as capable of voting as
were half the voters. Most of the for
eigners present deposited votes which
were handed them. Being unable to
read, or to understand some of the
issues, they were no more competent to
Judge as to their votes than was this
poor simpleton."
Now is it not good omen for men to
see, and to admit, this lack of capacity
among their own sex? Oh, speed the
day when any person, regardless of sex,
must be able to read. understandingly,

ity that philosophers as well az
Christian teachers have. commented
upon. it, and as great a master
of social science as Herbert Spencer
says that the status of women is the
surest index of the degree of civilization
Of any people. But while the destruc-
tion of this work of the devil has been
going on continuously, it has been eff
fected in large part unconsciously to
Christian believers: and even some
theological views have obstructed it by
false interpretations of passages in
Gods Word; construed, not with view
to demonstrate the freedom wherewith
Christ has set us free, but to minister to
mans corrupt love ofrule. While it is
true, therefore, that the advance of
Christ's kingdom has an irresistible ten
dency toward lifting from the race the
curse of the subsection of women, yet it
has not been done as rapidly as it might
be if it were made the clearly defined
object of Christian endeavor. To do
this, then, is the strong religious prin-
ciple underlying our equal rights work.
1t is our province, as an association, and
as individual members of that asso-
citation, to labor to clear away the tra-
ditions of men from the Word of God,
SO that its truths may shine out as the
great bulwark of woman'S liberties, as
they have ever shown for human liber-
ty, when rightly understood. 1t is
our privilege and duty to study the
Scripture that we may give reason for
the hope that is in US, and for our faith
that Christ has brought us deliverance
from the primal curse. 1t is ours to
point out with practical wisdom, that
in the unholy train of the subsection of
women follow limited industrial oppor-
tunities for them, and half pay for equal
work, so that mu1titudes are reduced to
misery and want, and a sadder multi
Itude go over the brink into the abyss of
sin; how the minds Of the. mothers of
the race are left undeyeloped for lack of
healthful stimulus and means of intel
ilectual CIVILIZATIONS; how our statute
books are blackened with unjust laws
that bear cruelty upon the most helpless
portion of our population; how the State
loses half the wisdom of her people, be-
CduS0 U0c NOlCe VI NUI1du lS uSfcI lledIu
in her counsels. Let us do this with
meekness and brotherly kindness, but
let us press home to the consciences of
Christians that all these things are en-
emies to. the. righteousness of Christ.
How can those who call themselves by
His name turn from them to dwell in
careless case or heartless Indifference?
When Christ calls for an account Of
these things from His servants, none
will be willing to answer, as some wom
en- answer now: "yNe have all the rights
we want, and we think it some one else's
place to Judge the right of the needy"
or, as some men answer now: I'VE are
afraid that women will get out of their
sphere; and as men are very well salts
fed with things as they are, we think it
better not to make any changes for fear
it will produce dissensions in FAM
lilies" No, none will be willing to an
swer this! Christ teaches that Judgment
and mercy and faith are the weightier
matters of the law. lE

Home Treatment.

Home Treatment.
Sufferers are not generally aware that
these diseases are contagious, or that they
are due to the presence of living parasites
in the lining membrane of the nose and
Gus 5achian tubes Microscopic research,
however, has proved this to be fact, and
the result of this discovery is that simple
remedy has been formulated whereby
Catarrh, Hay Fever and Catarrhal Deafness
are permanently cured in from one to three
simple applications made at home by the
patient once in two weeks.

and never can overthrow the divine de-
cree that it is not good for the man to
be alone, or cut the bond that made the
twain one whole in the day of their ere
ation.ss Woman is the mother of all liv-
ing, and the stream can not rise higher
than the fountain. In the darkened inn
aginings of mans heart he has thought
to separate himself from the fate of
woman and to rise above her scale; but
it is vain attempt. rs ~ ~
In heathen lands, woman is an abject
drudge, but man is sordid savage; in
the East woman is frivolous slave, but
man is sensual, mean spirited, with his
own soul dominated by every base and
cruel passion. These are but types of
what the race has produced in the futile
attempt, repeated in every age and ev-
cry cline, by man to raise himself, but
retain woman in subsection. But amid
this darkness there is hope, for God did
not forsake His creatures in their sins.
Even before their sentence was pro-
nounced, the gracious promise was given
the seed of woman should bruise the
serpent's head. ITO this end was the
Son of God manifested, that he might
destroy the works of the devil" We
find corroborat:on of the view that the
subsection of woman took its origin in
sin, because every advance of Christian
principle, among every people and ma
tion under the sun, is marked by the in
variable advance of woman from her
state of subjection. No other social inn
provement is so uniform and so univer-
sal. So unmistakable is this evidence

way of illustrating the kindheartedness
of Dom Pedro. Some years agoa woman
in Berlin was deserted bv her husband.
4 few months later she received letter
and some money from him, but these
missives soon ceased, and the woman
was left in the greatest poverty. When
Dom Pedro was in Berlin she begged for
an audience, and told him her story. He
promised to do all he could on his re-
turn to Brazil. Some time elapsed, and
the womaa thought the Emperor had
forgotten her, when one day letter ar
