Mrs. Harriet H. Robinson is not only
we'll known as speaker and writer in favor
of woman suffrage, but she is deeply and
actively interested in all that pertains to
woman's welfare and advancement. Mrs.
Robinson is the author of fine dramatic
poem, "The New Pandora, skilfully con-
structed plea for woman. Her views are
given below:

also who ''knows that he does not mean a word

groom's intentions are in favor of dealing gen.
erously with his bride. and that she expects
him to do the same. But mans idea of gen.
erosity may be to buy clothing for his wife and
to bring into the house all the articles for

THE TIME WILL COME.
A Society Woman and Poetess Has Conf

A Society Woman and Poetess Has Conf
dence In Human Nature.
One OF the fairest most thoughtful and
conservative replies comes from Mrs. L. c.
Whiton-Stone, a well-known society woman
of Boston, and a poetess OF note. She says:
It is noticeable fact that those interested in
the rights of women" are apt to be extrem-
lists, and in reading Mrs. Ives article in the
September Forum, on The Domestic Purse
Strings" 1t is easy to see she is no exception to
the rule. But it is the agitators and extremists
who make the solution of social problems"
possible. have been keen observer of both
men and women in their relations to one an
other. and it seems to me their failures are in
about the same proportion.
Men are. as q class, think. noble. generous
and chivalrous. That they mean to be false
when they repeat the marriage service. with
all my worldly goods" etc, cannot believe.
That they often fail wofully in carrying out
their intentions, ADMIT; but women have not.
in the past, been wholly reasonable, and it is
only within a few years they have come into
the higher education" and many husbands
finding their wives incapable of graphing with
financial facts, and absolutely without power
OF mathematical calculation. in discourage
ment of this knowledge. have decided to keep
money matters in their own hands, fearing
otherwise some catastrophe.
If a woman. by any chance, marres a man
who does not recognize her rights as regards
money. she must be utterly wanting in dignity
if she can permit herself to speak of 1t to any
friend, however intimate. The only proper
way, it would seem, would be to insist upon
serious conversation upon the subject, and let
her husbands q understand she would not
permit herself to remain SO situated. l
think the meanest man in creation
would recognize that high minded
woman taking such stand would have to be
conceded to. That women learn to lie and steal
because of empty pockets, seem to be mon-
strous. The women who could SO far lose their
self-respect could never have stood on moral
and spiritual heights. One might easier be a
pauper in pocket than in soul.
That the relation of marriage will adjust
itself to the fact that "old things have passed
away and the new begun" is certain

A FAMILY BANK.
Uuique Scheme by Which nm East End

Uuique Scheme by Which nm Enst End
Couple Dispose of Finnrces.
A well-known lady of the East End re-
sponded to the request for her opinion with
8 unique letter. Her desire that~her name
be withheld must be respected, but she offers
the nom de plume oil "a Satisfied Wife"
over which she says:
/ do not claim that the following is a perfect
solution of the difficulty, hut will say that my
experience thus far has led me to regard it as
the most practicable one have ever heard OF.
Furthermore, as it was my husbands own idea,
] appreciate it the more. We have two books
which l take much pride in seeping-one the
taTlly bank book, the other an ordinary cash
book.
Every time my husband has any spare money
say IS or So he deposits ii in the family bank
and enter it as debtor in said book. When
ever the cash on hand amounts to 500, he takes
this amount and deposits il ill a real business
bank down town. Therefore she family bank
always contains from S. TO $780, Neither of us
can draw on this bank without writing check
and the amount thereof being entered as credit
TO the bank: for once deposited, the money be-
longs only TO it. Either of us can write checks
on said bank, but of course most Of them come
from me.
AT the end of each month the bank book is
balanced, the cash carried over 70 the next
month and the total expense entered on the
cash book, with items if desirable. have no
allowance" at all nor have ever had to ask
my husband for money since the adoption of
this plan.
How does il work?
Well, remember, that first of all, it makes
me feel like a:woman, lady and wife. The con-
fidence that is placed in my honesty, common
sense and Judgment makes me take pride in
the appearance and condition of those books.
1 do not like to see their pages filled up with
little, silly useless items. OF course / consult
with him regarding any considerable expense,
but the very knowledge that do not have to,
makes il pleasure to me to do SO.

been asked to give their views on the mat
ter, and, if possible, suggest remedy for
existing evils
Among the first to respond was Mrs. Mary
A. Livermo-e. She writes:
Mrs. Ives has told the truth in the September
Forum. 1 could add to it an appendix that
would show greater meanness on the part Of
husbands than Mrs. Ives has even limited at
and 1 would not go out of your city of Pittsburg
for my facts.
EQUAL WITH MAN.
What is the remedy3 The status Of woman
must be changed in toto. She must be made
the legal equal of her husband in all things,
that she may become self-respecting. and may
compel the respect of the man she marries.
Her work in and for the family must not be re-
garded as now, service due her husband, but
money value must be attached 20 it, SO that the
meanest dullard can see that she has claim on
the family purse.
An arrangement should be made at marriage
by the parents or other kindred Of the bride,
when she lacks property of her own, that will
secure to her portion of the husbands IN
come or earnings weekly or monthly, as her
right, since she is his partner, and for services
rendered is honestly entitled to this. We must
give to all girls an industrial or business train
ing and count no girl well educated till she is
in possession Of some craft by which she can
earn money. Never do men ana women Know
how to spend a dollar till they have learned
how to earn one.
THE REAL REMEDY.
And, finally marriage must be lifted to
higher plane than it now occupies. 1t should
be the union of two equals before the law. And
laws of marriage and divorce should not be en-
acted as they are which have been formulated
alone by men; for marriage and divorce con-
cern both sexes, and they affect women more
vitally than they do men. For men alone to
settle these matters, which make the everlast-
ing granite on which rests home, family, the
state government and civilization, is more
than an imperiinence or blunder-it is
crime.
Have sketched a large programmed 1t will

WHERE ORION LIES BURIED.
The saddest'of all the islands in Lake
Titicaca is one very near to Puno, called
San Estevan (Saint Stephen), which has be-
come a Protestant graveyard. The latest
addition to this desolate cemetery was
made when Prof. Orton died. The WELL
known author and scientist, from Pough-
keepsie, N. Y, died of consumption,
brought on by over-work and the inhospita-
BILE climate of this far-awaY land; and when
he knew that the end was near, requested
that his remains be laid on the top of San
Estevan. We made a pilgrimage to the
spot IN honor of his memory, going out from
Puno IN canoe, against the protests of the
villagers who assured US that we could not
possibly land anywhere on the island, ID
6elng completely surrounded by an impassa-
BILE marsh.
Paddling all around it we found a place
where the swampy soil was somewhat firm,
and, using thick growth of reeds for i'm
provlsed bridges, by dint of considerable
leaplng and the trIhing Inconvenience Of
going over shoe in the oOze, we succeeded in
passing the barrier. The island is nothing
but high, rocky hill, rising so preeipit-
ously out OF the water that hardly a goat

where the ascent is not yery dif6cult
though winding and painless, and one is

THE INCA EMPIRE.
To this day, poor 0rton's resting place ID
unmarked. Not long age friend and fell
low-professor, from Rochester, N. Y, came
here and found it would cost perhaps 81 900
to have one erected. It was on account Of
Lake Titicaca that, as tradition afirms, the
founders of the Inca Empire had
their supernatural origin. Scattered
all over its great basin are ruins Of
ancient architecture, singular in character,
and having an antiquity greater than any
other of advanced civilization on this hem
isphere. Not an uniting region, this. for
the development of an original civilization
like that which carved its monuments in
massive stone and left them on the plains Of
Tiahuanaco, of which no tradition remains
except they were the work of the giants Of
old, who built them in a single night.

Emma v. Sheridan Intimates to Mr.. Fry
She Wants to Run Her Own Finances.
Miss Emma Y. Sheridan MRS Fry), the
charming young actress, writes as follows:
Men do not in their calculations make pro-
visions for ''pin money" figure. A wife's ir-
regular demands for amounts, great or small,
are likely, therefore, to be an annoyance. The
very man who would cheerfully agree to allow
his wife given sum per year. and even put 1t
to her account in bank and never think OF lt
after frets and snarls and says: 'Oh, hang 1t!
1 haven't cot it" when she wants S. and he
has planned to go to his poker club with a
clean hundred.
Let the matter be arranged on a business
basis-so much 4 week or month or year, and
mo questions asked" Women are inclined to
be stupidity childish over money matters at first.
"0hl John, don't need all that money" or
"Oh! John, please let me just ask you when l
want any, and SO the trouble sets in. Again,
women too seldom understand their husbands
business position, and are either oppressed with
an undue sense of costing their hus-
band too much or, through ignorance OF his re.
sources, tax his finances too far.
For my own part, l advise heartily woman
having her own source of income-handling
her own money and making her own expendi-
lures. Even so, however, just for the moral
effect of the thing, if there is no other need,
her husband should give her her allowance,
stated and regular sum. into the dispensing Of
which he does not question.

that my pride in having that bank turn its SlOO
over to the downtown bank saves many, many
dollars. My husband often speaks of how lit

avaricious. But, no, it is not that for l do
draw whenever want to. 1t is the pleasure l
derive from his confidence in me. the pride l
take in doing as please, and proving that that
privilege can be carefully and successfully
guarded and utilized by the wife as by the hus-
band.
Beside all this pleasure and feeling of inde-
pendence, j am learning points in business that
would be of great service in case of necessity.

OF Big Black Mountain, overlooking one of

country.
A YANKEE SOLDIERS DAUGHTER.
My customary "hello" brought out a
woman with baby in her arms, who said I
could get some dinner. She hustled in the
house to get me something to eat, a merry,
resolute little body with great head of the
reddest hair ever saw, "tip-tilted" nose
and mouth that was continually smiling,
and left me to talk to an old woman smok-
ing pipe on the porch, whom she addressed
as "maw."
"Your daughter don't look like the
mountain folks" ventured after we had
talked little. "Naw," said the old wo-
man, who showed traces of having been a
typical mountain beauty, her thick, half
gray hair having still a riotous crlnkle and
wave that filled me with envy.
"Naw, Their paw wuz Yankee soldier. I
