WoMAN's WORLD IN PARAGRAPHS.

"As for NE, Give Me Liberty Give
NE Death"
With the proverbial shrewdness of his
CAGE, Solomon chose wisdom as the best
gift he could ask for, perfectly well
aware-the sly old Hebrew-that if he
only had wisdom he would know enough
to obtain everything else in this life that
he wanted, 1t was his long headedness
quite as much as his true piety that
prompted him to make that choice, but
since we cannot all have wisdom, then
the next most precious gift to man, and
woman, too, is liberty, the right to do ex-
actly as you please, so long as you do not
interfere with anybody else. That is the,
sole restriction that should be put on hu-
man beings. The right to think your
own honest thoughts; to proclaim them
openly and bravely, fearless of all the
world, knowing that no old monster of
a Mrs. Grundy will crush you under her
juggernaut wheel for telling the truth;
to dress in comfortable and convenient
clothing without being hooted; to asso-
ciate freely with people whom you like,
and with no others; to have no nasty
minded social spies on your track, no
Miss Nancys of either sex to claw you;
to write and print the truth as you feel it
and know it. without hedging and trim
ming and trembling; to live daily with
out pack of bigots, critics and hypo-
critics in cry after you; to follow no con-
ventionalities of fashion, society or be-
lief that did not suit you; to wander
out alone in the beautiful wilds of free
dom; to climb the cliffs and breathe the
sweet, strong air of liberty upon the
mountain top-to gain such life would
die thousand deaths!
The other day was going up Fulton
street in Brooklyn in an elevated train.
A young lady sat beside me, reading at
tentively. In cars l always LOOK to see
whether girls are reading novels or
newspapers, and accordingly inspected
this young lady's book. 1t was re-
ligious volume, and am bound to say
she seemed profoundly interested. By
and by she laid it down, and I saw that
its name was "The One Thing Needful."
In her lap beside the book were five pack
ages of chewing gum, and she was man
ipulating the sixth as fast as her jaws
could work. Chewing gum was the one
thing needful.
If, after all, the fogy element in the
Methodist church manage to keep WON.
en- out of being delegates to the quarter
ly and general conferences, it will not
be strange if large proportion of the
ablest ladies in that denomination leave
it in a body and connect themselves
with other Christian organizations that
have more Christian views on the woman
question. 1t will be strange, in fact, if
they do not.
United States Senator Joseph NJ.
Carey, of Wyoming, made an eloquent
address at the late meeting of the Ma
tional American Woman Suffrage asso
citation in Washington. The voting al
the first election in the new state was
done under the Australian ballot sys
tenn, and Senator Carey said: "What
ever objection mar could have raised
5 before to woman's going to the poll;
: and voting was entirely removed BY
, this system"
