Comte de Frangueville recently read an ad-
mirable paper before the meeting of the five
academies which form the Institute Of France,
in which he made this declaration: Il wager
that the political woman eventually wins the
day" Women working for equal rights have
long felt the truth of this Frenchman's guess.
Politics is not synonym for "ifice holding, as
too many shallow thinkers assume, but the
science Of government.
Now every woman who is interested in tho
methods and aims of the government under
which she lives is a political woman. They
who do the thinking will as certainly event
ualiy do the governing, as two and two make
four. ADVANCED thinkers in Womans World
are turning their attention to political stu
dies, In London and Boston classes have
been organized for this purpose which are
destined to grow more and more popular.
The suffrage societies i'll Great Britain and
It's colonial dependencies and in the United
States arc working in the same direction
Women of the aristocratic classes in Eng
land, who are not sufrragiStS, are very active
politicians, and elect or defeat official candi-
dates. They would scorn the epithet "po-
litical women" and yet, in the methods COM
monty recognized i'll tn, term political, they
are emnently so.
As we recall the genius for politics dis
played by Deborah, Ssmiramis. Thorryri,
Zenobia, Bpadicea, Isabella of CASTLE, Catha-
rine ii, Maria Theresa, Elizabeth of Eng
land, Madame de Stael, Abigail Adams and
hundreds OF names less known to fame IN
times OF peace, We must admit that the POI
litical woman won the day.-Toronto Globe.

1--we and move on high table land OF circum-
stance and opportunity. All about MS are the
deep wales of misery and privation. The wall
of women who cannot feel their children,
who break their health with overwork, or
waste it in ignorant idleness comes up to us
We sbrug our shoulders, fling an aims, fill up
a subscription, are sorry--that is all. But if
we had charity, Pauls charity, we should go
down into these low places, and inquire into
the causes of all this misery and degradation.
And then the super6uity Of our health would
all be directed to the true alchemy, the turn
ing of society dross into human gold.
Society women, apply yourselves to lift
ing up the women of the poorer classes.
Young ladies, let each one of you help some
young girl who stands on the threshold Of
life, unprovided with the skill and knowl-
edge which are requisite to make a woman's
life pure, honorable and self supporting.
Mothers, who lay your infants in a silken
bed, or gather around you your well grown
children, have a care for tho mothers whose
infants pine in unwholesome dens, whose chill
dren, if left TO themselves, will learn only the
road to the gallows. Rise to the entertain
ment of this true thought: The evil which
we could prevent, and do not is in that do
gree our fault. 'n--Good Health,

They Always Win in the End.

Said gentle Lucy Stone at the Edwards
breu Iifast, looking about over the array of
notable men and women who were grouped
about the tables, gathered to do honor to a
woman famed in literature and science:
1T would be hard to believe, when one
sees the homage done to the woman of attain
mcnt, that fifty years ago women were
barred out from taking an active part in the
worlds affairs, and that press and pulpit
united in the dctum which forbade her rails
ing her voice in public. shall never forget
one day in midwinter when l was to speak in
New England town; it was bitterly cold.
In the evening, as | was speaking, the win
dows of the hall were opened from the out
side, and | was deluged with water from
head TO FOOT
But even that vigorous and brutal manner
OF expressing dlsapproval did not close the
mouth of the devoted woman who had a mes
sage to bring, and she insisted upon speaking
until for very shane's sake they stopped and
listened, and were glad of the message that
brought it. Bravery and real courage al
ways win in the end. 1t commands respect
and attention. Herald.

they have acquired through tho force, the

As regards her stature and mold. the
Andalusian girl is almost invariably petite
brunette, and, although not all are plump
and many are too stout, the majority have
exquistely symmetrical tapering limbs, well
developed busts flat chested women are al
most unknown in SPAIN, and the most
dainty and refined hands and feet Regard
ing these feet Gautier makes the most as
founding assertion, that without any poetic
exaggeration it would be easy here in Seville
to find women whose feet an infant might
hold in its hands. A French girl of Z or s
could not wear the shoes of an Andalusian of
EOS
/ am glad to attest that, if the feet of Sc
william women really were so monstrously
small fifty years ago, they are 50 no longer.
1t Is discouraging to see a man like Gautier
fall into tho vulgar error of fancying that,
because small foot is thing of beauty,
therefore the smaller the foot the moro beau
tiful it must be.
If A1idnluslan women really had feet so
small that a baby might hold them in its
hands, they would not be able to walk at all,
or, at least, not gracefully. But it is pre-
cisely their graceful gait and carriage for
which they are most famed and admired. All
Spanish women are graceful as compared
with the women of other nations, but among
them all the Andalusians are pre-eminent in
the poetry Of motion, and this is probably
the reason that, although regular facial
beauty is perhaps commoner in Madrid than
in Seville, find that you cannot pay
greater compliment to a girl in northern
Spain than by asking her if she is an Anda-
lusian
1t would be useless to seek among land ami
mails for gait comparable to that Of the
women of Seville, Cadiz, Malaga and Grana-
da; and when you compare it TO the motion
of a swan on the water a fish in the water, a
bird in the air it is the birds and the fishes
that must feel compimented.-Henry T.

Every farm house has its sewing machine,
and every farmers wife Is enough of seam
stress to know how to make up good suit of
clothes slSillfully. IL sbe lives on the main
road the agent brings TO her door as much
work as she is willing to undertake to do in a
week. If she lives away from the thorough
fare she goes to the nearest cornT store and
meets the agent there. The completed work
is delivered and fresh work is received at a
regular hour each week.
The pay is small, pitifully so, but the farm
er's wife is mighty glad to get it. A dime
looks as big as dollar at that distance from
the metropolis in that particular direction.
Twenty-Five or thirty cents is all she gets for
finishing a coat. 1t would cost the clothing
man eighty or ninety cents to get the same
work done in his New York shop, and that is
where his profit comes in. These women are
industrious. Even at tho beggarly rates
paid, some of them earn SIS month, which
means great many comforts in New Jer-
sey farmers household. The earnings range
from 50 TO the $25 maximum, and pay day
comes once a month--New York Sun.

In the service, according to the French
style, each course is served on tho table and
afterward removed to be cut up, while in the
service a la russo the dishes are cut UP be-
fore being passed round. In an article on
delicate feasting Theodore Child tells in
Harpers Bazar that ''the modern system
dictated by reason and by convenience is a
compromise. The table is decorated simply
with fruit, swpetmeats, flowers and such or
naments as caprice may suggest; the entrees
are handed round on small dishes; the nm
portant pieces, such as roastS and pieces de
resistance, are brought in, each by the maitre
d'hotel, presented to the mistress of the
house, who makes n sign Of acknowledgements,
and then taken of to be cut up by the maitre
d'hOtel on a side table
The carved dish is then handed round by
the walters, and when all the guests are
served it is placed, ii the dish he important
enough, on Il hot water stand in front Of the
host or hostess or in the same condition on
side table, awaiting the needs Of the guests.

Dressing the BABY.

A word in regard to the manner in which
Anglo-Saxons dress our babies. II is afro
cious and why we have SO long adhered to it
is only to be accounted for upon the principle
of the old Pennsylvania Dutch farmer, who
balanced the grist in one end of his sack by a
bag stone in the other because "what was
good enough for his father was good enough
for him
10 put poor little doughty scrap Of incipi-
ent humanity into n series of petticoats a ward
and half long, with great wide bands which
must be pinned around the little body, while
the helpless little head rolls about and the
weak little neck is twisted and stretched, is
simply barharous; and, because our grand
mothers did it, is no excuse for US.
All that is wanted is a bit of soft wool or
silk vest, then, while the baby is very young,
an abdominal band fastened with ,hree or
four bits of tape, and finally slip reaching
a quarter of yard below the tiny toes, made
of flannel, muslin, anything-single, double
or treble, at your pleasure, but which can be
taken off in jlffy and replaced by clean,
dry one whenever necessary. What an econ
