WOman's Progress.

In the North american ReuieD Mar
ion Harland says: Woman's corpo-
rations for every conceivable purpose
commercial, educational, religious,
social, Observation-Disclosures and pre-
vail until they threaten to cover the
face of the earth. We asked of man
oneness and equality, and he gave it;
for room to work at his side and upon
his level, and he kept us not back. In
stead of falling into step with him, we
strain ingenuity to demonstrate our
unlikeness to him, and we accentuate
the accident of birth until we make sex
into species. Every door at which we
have knocked has been unbolted, and
courtesy that honors our common HUI
mainly has awaited us upon the thresh-
old. More men are, in this year of our
Lord, 1892, willing to share the respon-
sibility than there are women who are
willing and ready to accept the fran

WOman's Place in the State.

On the subject of Woman's Place
in the State" Goodwin Smith says in
the Forum: That the sex has privi-
leges in America, no woman, it is pre-
sumed, will deny. Do the woman's
party expect to combine the preroga-
tives of both sexes, and have equality
and privilege, too? For time, per-
haps, they might, while the ancient
sentiment fingered; but the total change
of relations would in the end bring a
corresponding change of feeling. Chiv-
airy depends on the acknowledged need
of protection, and what is accorded
gentle helpmate would not be accorded
to rival. Man would neither be in
clined nor bound to treat with tender
ness and forbearance the being who was
fighting and jostling him in all his
walks of life, wrangling with him in
law courts, wrestling with him on
the stump, haggling against him in
Wall street, and encountering him on
the race course and in the betting
ring. But when woman has lost her
privileges, what is she but a weaker
man? Would the citizen and
citizeness, in such times, for example, as
that of the anti-slavery agitation or the
civil war, after struggling against each
other in the canvass and at the polls,
sit down in unimpaired affection by
the hearth and present the same aspect
of love and united authority to their
children?"

The Lesson Of Self.SuppOrt.

We would any of us hesitate to give
our daughter to the young man who
has no visible means of support, but
stands on the street corners idling
away his time, saying "Oh, well, when
1 get wife to support 1 will learn to
work." and has he not as good a right
to say, 81 expect the girl l marry will
know how to sweep, wash, bake and
brew, and not wait to learn by sad ex-
perience and many failures after we
set up home of our own" l think
so, and greatly fear that in our zeal to
widen woman's sphere we are in danger
of greatly narrowing her influence.
For, disguise it as we may, the influence
of the home is the greatest that can be
brought to bear upon any question,
social, moral, political or religious.
What is the training now being given
in the homes of the land? How many
girls of any age can be found who can
walk confidently into the kitchen and
proceed to cook palatable meal, wash,
iron shirt, or scrub the floor? And if
the girls in their own homes hold them
selves above such work, how are we to
persuade those who have to earn their
own living that housework is genteel
and respectable. -ETchange.

If Mother Would Listen.

If mother would listen to me dears,
She would freshen that faded gown,
She would sometimes take an hours rest
And sometimes a trip to town.
And it wouldn't be all for the children,
The fun, and the cheer, and the play;
With the patient droop of the tired mouth,
And the Mother has had her day"
True, mother has had her day, dears,
When you were her babies three,
And as she stepped about the farm and the
house,
AS busy as a bee.
When she rocked you all to Sleep dears,
And sent you all to school,
And wore herself out, and did without,
And lived by the Golden Rule.
And so your turn has come, dears;
Her hair is growing white;
And her eyes are gaining the far-away look
That peers beyond the night.
One of these days in the morning.
Mother will not be here.
She will fade away into silence
The mother so true and dear
Then what will you do in the daylight,
And what in the cleaning dim?
And father, tired and lonesome then,
Pray, what will you do for him?
If you want to keep your mother
You must make her rest to-day;
Must give her share in the frolic
And draw her into the play.
And If mother would listen to me, dears,
She'd buy her gown of silk,
With buttons of royal velvet
And ruflles as white as milk,
And she'd let you do the trotting
While she sat still in her chair.
That mother should have it hard all through
1t strikes me isn't fair.

Homestead tragedy Many time
have we become so exasperated with
the workings of the political machine
that we were quite ready to undertake
the contract of patenting a new one, on
an entirely new basis. How often have
we taken trips across the continent,
stopping wherever and whenever we
wished, reached the Pacific coast, spent
winter in southern California, and re-
turned home in time to partake of the
cup of coffee or chocolate with which
we refresh ourselves promptly at ten
o'clock. No fear of sea-sickness pre-
vents us from rashly risking our lives 10

comfort to be able to ascend Mont

view, and then slide gracefully down
the mountain into our arm-chairs.
Sometimes, fred by a patriotic spirit,
we visit battlefields, and gaze on the

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portions of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inhamed con-
dition of the mucuous lining of the Eus-
tachian tube. When this tube gets in
famed, you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken
out, and this tube restored to its nor
NAL condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever. Nine cases out of ten are
caused by catarrh, which is nothing but
an infamed condition of the mucuous
surfaces.

GRODER'S SYRUP HAS CURED ME- !

l wish to explain in few words to other
sufferers the condition | was in three years
ago. l had been what 1 called a Chronic
Dyspeptic for fifteen years and as l stated
above l was not free from Sour stomach
for three years Everything l ate soured
on my stomach before digesting, 1t caused
me to have Headaches, | would be feverish
by spells, and so nervous that | could not
make myself comfortable in any place. This
world was "a burden to me. Many times
l thought of meeting DEATH During my
choking spells my feet became cold, and
the chills would come over me so it would
make me think of death.
Such was my life until l used Groder's
Botanic Dyspepsia Syrup. That has once
more given me a chance to enjoy this world.
| am today able to do as good days work
as ever l could in my life, and l say that
Groder's Syrup is worth ten dollars a
bottle for any person troubled as l was.
