Lucy stone On WOnAn'S Future.
In reply to the query, What will be
the statue of woman when the next Col
umbian celebration comesa Lucy Stone
writes:
By that time, whether 1t come in 100 OF
in 400 years, it is to be hoped the world
will have learned that women, like all
other human beings, only need an open
field and fair play. In that case the
world will know the ttrools belong to those
who can use them" As women will be
free to choose their occupations and pro-
fessions, they will have found those that
are suitable and best for them.
In the home the wife and mother will
be legally entitled to a share of the prop
erty acquired after the marriage, that is
to say, she will have share of what her
husband earns, while her time is given to
the care of the children and to making
the home. She does not have this right
now. Hence the penniless wives The
wife will have legal right to her chill
dren, which she has not now. She will
have legal right to make a will of more
than half her property, which she only
has now in Massachusetts She will have
the right to vote and be voted for. Sns
will be rs FREQ as men are to achieve the
highest and best that is possible to her,
and being thus free, these should be the
noblest men and women and finest and
best reared children.

There are given N the book, on the
authority of official records, accounts of
vast number of trials of horses, cattle,
fowls, dogs, goats, snakes, leeches, etc.
The majority of cases are taken from
the records of French courts, though
Italy furnishes goodly number. In
Naples itself, for example, an ass was
solennly tried and condemned to be
burned to death, proceeding which
called forth a scoffing poem from wit
of the period. Civil suits were generally
directed against vermin, such as cater
pillars, grubs, leeches, locusts, rats, mice
and so on. In 145l suit was instituted
against the leeches which infested the
ponds in the neighborhood of Bern, in
Switzerland, and the Bishop of Lausanne,
in his instructions to his parish priests of
Bern, which instructions were solemnly
approved of by the professors of the
University of Heidelburg. mentioned
that it would be advisable to procure
''some of the aquatic worms and place
them before the magistrates" This was
done, and the leeches, both those pres
ent and those absent, were ordered to
leave the places they had SO boldly in
Tested within three days, on pain of in
curing the maledictlon of God.
In conclusion, the author dwells upon
the fact that scientific knowledge swept
away nearly all the legends and fancies
concerning the animal kingdom. A his
tory of such legends is, he holds highly
prolific of valuable thought, and forms a
most curious chapter of the history of the
human mind itself. He dwells upon the
modern movements for the protection of
animals from cruelty, and prophecies for
the future, time when still more in
telligent and sympathetic interest will be
bestowed upon them. New York Tri-

The Last or His RAGE.

A good story is told of purse proud
old nobleman who was travelling through
the rural districts Of Sweden. In that
country the people do not have quite as
much respect for the titled aristocracy as
in some other localities on the continent.
One day this nobleman came rolling up
to country tavern, and as he stopped
his carriage he called out in an imperi-
Gus tone:
"Horses, landlord at once!r
81 am very much panied to inform you
that you will have to wait over an hour
before fresh horses can be brought up,.''
replied the landlord.
'sHow2'' violently exclaimed the no.
bleman. "This to me! My man, I de.
mand horses at once!"
Then, observing the fresh sleek look
ing horses which were being led up to
another carriage, he said:
s'For whom are those horses?"
s'They were ordered for this gentle
man." answered TIE landlord, pointing
to tall, slim individual few PAGES

man to the slim gentleman, "will you let
me have those horses if | pay you a
liberal bonus2"
NO" answered the slim man. 81

"This to mel" exclaimed the noble
man.
"That's what | said," replied the slim
man.

am, ! roared the now thoroughly ayitated
and lrate nobleman. 81 am, sir, Field
Marshal Baron George Spare, the last
and only one of my race"
II am very glad to hear that, said
the slim man, stepping into his carriage.
at would be terrible thing to think
that there might be more of you coming.

be foot race"
The slim man was the King of Sweden.

The interesting information comes
to the New York Press, from Cam.
bridge, Mass, that new series of ex-
periments in the difficult art OF photo
graphing the heavens is being made at
THAT place. The instrument used is the
so,called Bush Photographic telescope,
manufactured especially for the Harvard
Observatory, and the North Star was
selected as the first object upon which to
test its powers. The apparatus used for
stellar photography is exceedingly deli
cate and complicated. There are four
Photographic lenses, two feet ia diame-
ter. In front of these is the spectrum
for photographing stars. Its thickest
edge is three inches and the thinest
seven-eighths of an inch. The lenses are
of the finest optical glass. Their aver
age weight is 100 pounds. The bed plate
of the telescope is ten feet ~ inches
and its breadth six feet. This swings on
q steel axle ton feet long and weighing
2200 pounds. The wheel to which the
clockwork is attached, regulating the
movement Of the instrument to the mo-
ton of the earth, is five feet in diameter.
Not only astronomers but multitudes OF
other folks who are interested in know
ing all that is to be known concerning
the material universe, will await the
revelations Of the forthcoming photo
graphs with keen curiosity.

ing scraped off the diphtheritic patch, to
apply the parafiin every hour to the
throat Internally with large camel's
hair brush. AS a rule, the throat gets
well in from twenty-four to tortv-eight
hours, and with improvement in the
throat the parafiin is applied less fire..

two or three days after the complete
disappearance OF the patches. He
speaks definitely as to the therapeutic
effects, but is unable to state what the
chemical action Of paratfin on the diph..
theritlc membrane is; probably the
hydro carbons in the liquid exert some
powerful influence on the membrane.

The Concord idea of taking child

The Concord idea of taking children
in conveyances from distance to a cen
trail school building where accommoda
tions are provided for all grades is being
adopted by other towns in eastern Mas
sachusetts with gratifying results. In
some Of the townships 1t has been found
necessary, because of their area, to es-
tablish two large graded schools, and to
these the children who do not live in the
immediate vicinity are carried daily.
Take, for instance, Lexington. The
School Committee had to provide for
the transportation of 140 of their 500
school children, and contracted with a
Livery stable keeper to provide four two.
horse barges, at cost of $4,000 fo1 the
year. This large outlay raised the cost
Of the new system above the old to the
extent Of about 5000 in total appro.
priation S14, 600; but leading citizens
state that the increased cost is gen.

Whcn.we look at industrial condition.

Whcnswe look at industrial conditions.
says Commissioner Carroll D. Wright in
an article on "Our Native and FOREIGN
born Population" in Popular Science
Monthly, it is learned that the absorb
ton Of immigrants has not been equal.
The facts in this respect cannot be given
for 1890, but for 1880 they indicate
what may be expected when the full
facts Of 1890 are reported. In 1880 the
whole number of people engaged in
agriculture was 1870, 493. OF this
number s12, s2s persons were of foreign
birth; that is to say, 1906 per cent. Of
the whole number employed in agricul-
ture in 1880 were foreign-born. The
total number employed in manufactur.
ing, mechanical, and mining industries
in the United States in 1880 was 3. 1897 !.
11S. OF this number l, 225, 7s7 were Of
foreign birth, and this number is 80 per
cent. of the whole number of persons
engaged in these industries. The ten.
dency, therefore, of our immigrants is
to assimilate with our mechanical in.
dustries. This increases the supply Of
labor in comparison to the demand, and
may in some localities tend to lower
wages, and sometimes to cripple the
consuming power Of the whole body
OF the people. In 1880 1852 per cent.
OF the whole number Of foreign-born
persons were engaged in agriculture,
while 1918 per cent. of the foreign.
born were engaged in manufactures.
