The flower buds were cut just as they

and laid away in box. When they
were wanted she clipped the stems just

WOMAN'S RIGHTS IN SWEDEN.
Women of the North Have Won Thch
Way by Feminine Tact.


The evolution of the Swedish woman
toward equality with the Swedish man
furnishes instructive reading for the
sex everywhere. 1t is Il capital
illustration of the rich fruits to be
gathered when the gospel of moder-
alton is faithfully preached and
practised. As wise as serpents. yet
harmless as doves, those ladies of the
fair north won without striking a blow,
every concession which their sisters
over here have fought CALAMITY to
snatch from the grudging hands OF
mankind. They worked warily from
the inductive system, judged the in
dividual, and applied the knowledge
thus gained to the whole body. Then,
approaching the folly of attacking the
citadel before stOrming the walls, they
laid siege to small tithes of mint, anise
and cummin before assailing weightier
matters Of the law. With wit deserv-
ing of success. leaders of the woman
movement ignored political privileges
at the very outset. and devoted their
energies to righting small grievances,
knowing that the natural course of
events would bring the ballot in good
time. Their first effort, marked by
dignity and an entire lack of COM
bativeness. was directed toward open
ing the universities on equal terms to
the sexes. This accomplished, their
next request was for the privilege Of
practising on equal terms the learned
professions acquired side by side with
male students. All commercial pur-
suits were then petitioned for as proper
callings for women qualified to fill such
positions, and thus. one after another,
barriers We're laid low by the strategy
that no violence could have captured.
Had there been the noisy campaign Of
the uncompromising suffragist to
drown their voices. it is extremely
doubtful how fast or how far the pro-
grcssiOnists would have been permitted
to advance. But there were no battle.
fields, no heroines, no martyrs and 30.
with cordial grace, the Swedish men
granted whatever the prudent, forbear-
ing Swedish woman wanted 1t is a
pleasing and grateful history to read
of the gradual unfolding of womanly
ambitions, fostered by manly sympathy.

Antiquity Of Rope making.

Before the beginning Of the his
torical period considerable skill in
ropemaking had been acquired, enough
80 that it must be classed among the
Oldest arts. The existing relics of the
ancient Egyptians include sculptures
showing the process of manufacture
practiced more than 1000 years ago.
The Oldest records of that people speak
of ''well-made ropes of good strength"
Flax and fibres of the date palm were
used in making some of these ancient
ropes, but grasses and the skins of
animals were probable among the first
materials used.

THE HOME OF HAMLIN.

High-perched among the hills of Ok.
ford county, Maine, is the birthplace Of
the late Hannibal Hamlin, one of the
most distinguished citizens of the State,
About this illustrious name and around
the little village of Paris, clusters many
events and noted persons. The village
is built upon the summit of hill of the
same name, commanding view of hill
and valley, with the White Mountains as
background, their peaks either buried
in clouds or standing out in bold relief
against the cold blue sky. Hannibal
Hamlin's old home is large, square,
old-fashioned mansion, ON the very
verge of the hill, looking over the valley
of the Little Androscoggin river, and
across to the hills and mountains be-
yond. 1t is a beautiful spot, and the
visitor loves to watch from the lawn, the
silver thread of the river winding
through the valley.-NeU England MagG-

part of Green Mountain boys, from Ben

queredl The stores of Bennington were
saved, and that night "Molly Stark" was
not widow. In few days Burgoyne
surrendered at Saltwater, and the banks
of the Hudson were not further trodden
by the invaders feet. Had the juncture
of the two English generals been effected
the American forces would have been
severed, with effect similar to that which
was produced upon the Southern Army
by "Sherman's march to the sea-" The
battle ground is now within the State of
New York. The Vermonters in the main
were united in resisting the claim of New
York as made by Governor Golden, and
when the contest ended the boundary
lines were settled, and in a manner not
to be further considered, as was the case
with Massachusetts, and Connecticut a
hundred years later, when a board of
commissioners was made necessary, of
which Isaac Platt of the Eagle was
member.
To read in detail the recorded charac-

worth more than an easy journey. For
the purpose of collecting and preserving
these relics, now scattered here and
there in the possession of persons soon
to pass away, suitable public hall or
building should be at once provided. For
the Benningtonians to neglect this will
be sad betrayal of trust. 1t is well

highly respected citizen of Poughkeepsie,
native of Bennington, has made a lib
eral offer. Indeed, no meritorious appeal

THIS is MINISTER LINCoLN's FA-
VOKIIE STORY


A well-known Chicago physician re.
turned from a little visit to relatives in
the interior of the State last week. He
had been carried beyond his destination
once before, so when he boarded the car
in the evening he called the porter to
him as soon as that dignitary's atten ton
could be attracted, and held the follow
ing conversation with him:
John, here's dollar for you"
eyes, sah."
"And I'm going to get off at Rockford,
tonight" continued the Doctor.
Eyes, sab, said John.
''That means l don't want to be carried
through to Dubuque"
"Yes, sSh.i
$50, if you can't wake me up in time
to dress, want you to see that you get
me off anyway, no matter what hap
pens"
"Yes, sah," and they parted.
In due season the medical man went
to his berth with feeling of blessed Sc
curity About daybreak he was awak-
ened by hearing a feminine voice from
the section just across say:
Porter, are we in Dubuque yet?'
Nom, we amt dab yit," he answered,
huskily, "but we'll be dab in half N
Jour"
Thoroughly aroused and very angry,
the Chicago man threw the curtains
apart and saw the porter grinning fee
bly,, his collar torn, his nose slit down
the middle and evident Commissions about
each of his eyes.
''Here, you black rascal" shouted the
aggrieved traveller, didn't tell you to
get me off at Rockford?"
lord bless NAH soul, mistah," said
the sable brother, jumping, lis you the
man dat was going to git off at Rock
ford?" Then adding, refiectvely, as he
felt of torn ear, "f wonder who de
man was dat l put off at Rockford!"-

Cured on the piazza of house by the
roadside where he had halted for rest.
An old confederate, who was present,
coveted little information as to the
plans of the army, and was meditating
eliciting it from Sherman, who he knew
was an officer by his dress, when some
one addressed him as General" In
surprise he turned to Sherman:

''Where are you'ns a-going when you

"You are quite sure l can trust your"
''As your own brother"
The general slowly climbed into his
saddle and leaned over to the expectant
confederate, who was all eyes and ears
for the precious information. 81 will

there was not enough powerin the South
TO stop him.

Is very liable to follow contact of the
hands or face with what is known as
poison ivy, especially in hot weather or
if the bodyis perspiring freely. The
trouble may subside for time, only to ap-
pear in aggravated form when opportu-
nifty offers. The great purifying powers
of Hoods Sarsaparilla thoroughly eradi-
cate every trace of poison from the blood,
as the cures it has accomplished conclu-
siyely show. 1t also cures scrofula, salt
