A Sufficient Di.proof.

Wyoming lately held Constitutional
Convention, and framed the constitution
uEder which she hopes to be admitted as
State. Woman suffrage was incorpor-
ated in the constitution by the conven-
ton by four-fifths vote. The constitu-
ton was submitted, few weeks ago, to
the people, both men and women, and
was ratified by vote of about eight to
one. This should be a sufficient dis
proof, says Alice Stone Blackwell, of the
alleged unpopularity Of woman suffrage.
The Cheyenne papers reported that the
women came out on election day and
worked hard for the constitution.
The advocates Of woman suffrage have
had standing challenge out for years
inviting its opponents to find two per-
sons in the whole Territory who will as
sert, over their own names and ad-
dresses, that woman suffrage there has
had any bad result. The opponents
have thus far failed to respond. 1t is
not likely that woman suffrage will do
away with all social aud political evils,
and bring in the millennium; but there
is ample evidence that in Wyoming it
has done no harm, and has accomplished
good in several Important respects

taken to the annealing furnace, is de-
tached from the blowing-rod by a dex-

Moths

The damage done by moths Is quite
serious in many homes, and to prevent
IL, requires much vigilance Mt this
season of the year. The life of a
moth is milar to that of silkwoTm,
and il is the worm which does the
damage.
The moth-miller lays her eggs in the
best feeding ground she can find for
the future life of the worm, which
feeds on wool, hemp, fur, and feathers.
This worm then spins its tiny cocoon
and retires, to emerge sgaln as a moth
miller. The latter makes her apTear-
ance betwe cen the middle of April and
the last of June, and if the eggs
are in any garment when put away, II
will be damaged in the fall, no matter
how many preventives have been used.
The best precaution Is to hinder the
moth-miller from depositing eggs
where the worm can do damage.
Give the garments to be put away,
and which can not be washed, a
thorough shaking and brushing, and
expose them to the suns rays a few
hours Then put them into paper -four
sacks; fold the edges of the sack and paste
over 1t q thickness of muslin or paper,
thereby sealing 1t SO securely that the
Chu HOt Btl
way to outvit her Is 10 paper a large
box on the inside, fill 1t with the wooden
garments, fit on the cover, then paste
paper all over the outside.
To protect furniture and carpets,
saturate strips of red flannel with q
solution of arsenic. and lay them under
the edge of the carpets inside the lining
OF the furniture covers The worm will
eat of them and die
Moths are fond of baby's clothes.
II the miller finds spot where milk
has been, she will deposit Ler eggs
there A wool mattress is another
place for which she shows great par
tiality and it Is hard TO prevent her
from depositing eggs somewhere In It.
The best remedy Is to prop the mat
treSs up on blocks of wood out in the
yard, and sat under IL . dish of live
Goals on which you must sprinkle SUI
phur from time to time Care must
be used to prop 1t high enough not to
become scorched-
Remember that whatever you use
must be used In time to prevent the
moth from depositing her eggs, as
there are few things that will kill the
worm Oil of cedar, tUrpentine, cam
phor, oil of cloves or w:ntergreen Will
keep the worm away, but evaporate
quickly, and should be used early
and renewed often. They kill neither
moth nor worm, and must be strong

a Noble Reyenra

De ouincey, in his Literary Reulin-
iscences, gives a beautiful nnecdote, IL
Illustrative of the nobility of a generous
heart, which will no doubt please our
yoGng readers and from which they
NAV lea q valuable lesson.
An officer IN the army one day struck
a comm n soldier. He was young and
hot-tempered; and he forgot the re-
spect due to himself, and the duty he
owed hls neighbor. The soldier whom
he struck was Young man too, and
noted for his courage, he felt the in
suit deeply.
Military discipline forbade that he
should return the blow; he could only
use words Perhaps he was hot tenn
pered, also; for he said to the officer:
II will make You repent itr'
So they were Ill friends.
One day, in the heat OF a furious en-
gagement, the young soldier saw an
officer who was wounded, and separated
from his company, gallnntly striving to
force his way through the enemies who
surrounded him. He recognized his in
sulter, and without q second thought
rushed to Eis assistance. Supporting
the wounded man with his arm, together
they fought their way through to their
own lines. Trembling with emotion.
the officer grasped the hand of the
soldier, aud stammered his gratitude.
Noble mani" he said, 'what a re-
turn for an insult so wantonly givenp'
The young man pressed his hand in
turn, and with a smile said gently:

it."
