injustice of unequal wages about five
years later. 1 was leaving the school
and a man was employed who was to
receive three times the amount of my
salary. I did not believe there was
any justice in paying extra simply for
sex, and 1 resolved to do what I could
to secure better wages for women.
Il first identified myself with the
suffrage movement in 1858. I saw
shat it would be impossible for women
to change their condition without the
ballot. There was no time to remedy
individual cases while the true rem

aged to accumulate an indebtedness Of
about 500 and went out of the
business. My paper was called the
ReUOJlLtjO7l, and I never worked so
hard in my life for three years to get
in debt as I did as an editor. The in
debtedness, however, has all been
paid.
"In my lecturing experienced made
speeches under peculiar circumstances.
remember one night crossing the
Mississippi at McGregOr, Iowa, we
were icebOund IN the middle of the
river. Mrs. Stanton was with me, and
every lady was tired and hungry.
Some men whom we had been talking
to on the cars started the cry for a
speech on woman suffrage. Accord
ingly, in the middle of the Mississippi,
at midnight, we presented orr claims
to political representation and debated
the question Of universal suffrage IN
til we landed. I believe that was the
only convention ever held on the bosom
of the Father of Waters. I have also
been able to speak to the inmates OF
lunatic asylums.

member of Congress and was arrested,
charged with Illegal voting, and tried
at CanandaigUa the following June.
Hon. Ward Hunt was the presiding
Judge, and although I was ably de-

sentenced me to pay fine of 500 and

It is often said that the splendid i'm
petus given to equal suffrage IN this
country by the Woman's Christian
Temperance Union was only made
possible through the hard pioneer
work done by Susan B. Anthony and
her comrades. She herself has re-
ferred to her earlier work as that of

FAINT on a board, to which it is so Sc
curely dashed that, being only a few
days old, it can only make known its
objections YOca1ly. An inclined board
rests on the forehead of the infant, be-
ing every day drawn down a little by
means of cords which support it until
at length it touches the nose, thus
forming a straight line from the crown
Of the head to the end of the nose,
after which the young AdOnis is re-
leased to commence his career of break

In California the Indians weave very
pretty and artistic shpper-shaped era
dies of wicker-wOrk which they deco
rate deliberately with beads. The Mo
doc women make a very pretty baby
basket of fine willow work, cylinder
shaped. with one-half of it cut away
except a few inches at the ends. The
little fellow is placed in this and wrap
ped around like a mummy, with moth
ing visible but his head.
The cradle of the Pitt River Indians
is a transition type. A pole of wood
with the bark removed is bent In the
middle the two ends crossed and
dashed together. Across this frame are
LAID broad Iaths, perforated at the ends
and dashed to the poles with buckskin
strings. The fOOb-rest is a block of
wood, perforated, and through it are
passed the two ends of the pole. This
cradle passes from the stage of a mere
nest, in which the child is tied, to a
primitive cradle, as we know the arti-
Gle. The MOhave cradle is also of this
class, being a prettily made ladder or

The Montana infant has any amount
of pains spent on both himself and his

with a tanned eIksIkin OF deerskin and
beads worked on it. The place where
the child rePOses is loose and is laced
and tied up when the child is placed
in it.

TIE general usefulness of woman
was never discovered until necessity
compelled her to determine and de-
monstrate it for herself. The latest
manifestation of her varied capabili-
ties, says the Court Journal, is in
the line of so-ca1led party 1ady-heIper,
which offers considerable scope to her
ingenuity. This useful parsonage will,
for a stated amount, relieve weary
hostesses of the task of catering for
and entertaining a host of lively girls
and boys and their juvenile friends
home for the holidays. She must be
able to superintend the cooking of
seasonabIe dainties, the decoration Of
rooms, tables, and Christmas trees,
the preparation of private theatrica1s
and tableaux, and the fashioning of ju-
venile party costumes.

THE JelCi8b Chronicle tells this
story of some of its coreligionists
Professor Bilroth, the famous Viennese
surgeon, some time ago received a let
ter from q certain Jew in a small Rus
sian town to come Immediately and
perform an operation. The Professor
in his answer stipulated for FIVE thou
sand marks, which was promised him.
The Professor then repaired to the
Russian town, and upon his arrival he
was received by q number of Jews, who
sOrrowfully informed him that the gen
tleman that was to be operated upon
had died, and had been buried already.
And seeing that the Professor felt per
picked and regretted the journey which
| he had made in vain, the Jews com
fOrted him, saying; "There is yet
some chance for you to make some
money here. There are several sick
men in our hospital who would require
! your services, for which each of them
would willingly pay you one thousand
marks. The Professor gladly ac-
-cePted the offer, and, after having per
formed about five operations, the stipu-
lated amount was handed to him. But
a few minutes before starting for home
the Professor learned that he had
resurreeted the dead man. That
worthy gentleman had been among the
hospital patients cured for one thou
] sand marks.

RED by some Indian mother, or it may
rise to the height of patent springs and
dainty lace, but all nations and all
tribes have been obliged to recognize
the cradle.
The National Museum at Washing
ton has large aud growing exhibit Of
the cradles used by the people Of this
continent, and it Is Interesting to note
in this collection the points of similar
ity between the widely separated ma
tiOns.
Many questions Ofscientifc and gen
eral interest depend upon the knOwl-
edge of the manner in which child
passes the first year of its life, and the
museum has gone extensively into the
subject for this reason. Defamation
Of the heads, in some of our modern
tribes, and in nearly all of the abO-
EiginaI tribes, was brought about pur-
pCsely or accidentally by means of the
cradle board or frame in which the
children were confined almost entirely
for the first period of their existence.
Cradles in this case serve many pur-
poses. They are nests for the helpless
infants, serving as beds in which the
child sleeps in either vertical or hori-
zOntal positions, and as a vehicle in
which the child can be easily carried
from place to place. 1t is in every
sense q cradle to be hung or the limb
of a tree and be rocked by the breeze.

IF one would S ee and smell and taste
the baked bean at its best, he should
go to the numbering camps in the woods
of Maine. The thousands of brawny
axe swingers who work all winter in
the spruce forests subsist almost en-
tirely upon pork and beans, and they
never suffer from dyspepsia or indiges-
ton, because the cooking is perfect.
The woodsman's beans are baked in
big iron pot in hole in the ground.
The pot is set upon a bed of live Goals,
surrounded and covered with more
Goals, and then the hole is filed in with
earth, as though the savOry mess were
to remain buried for good and all. The
camp cook knows when to dig the pot
out, however, and when he does he
brings forth baked beans such as the
town of Boston never dreamed of.
