How Mrs. Grannis votee.

The New York woman who always
tries to vote was at the polls last cleo
tion morning at exactly $50, and the
remarkable thing about it was that she
did vote too.
1t was Mrs. e. B. Grann;s. and she
was accompanied by another woman
who wanted to see just how Il was done,
and if any of the terrible things which
men are always predicting will happen
would really come to pass when wom-
an voted. Mr.. Bartlett, brother of Mrs.
Grannis. also went along.
The woman expected that jeers, cat
calls, insults and jostlings would be her
lot. But instead thereof every man
stepped aside respectfully for the small,
determined woman to pass, and there
wasn't loud word that referred to a
woman uttered.
The polls where Mrs. Grannis went
were on Fourth avenue, between Twen-
ty-frst and Twenty y-second streets. Once
inside the charmed inclosure-in other
words, the barber shop-Mrs. Grannis
politely preferred her request for the
privilege of casting a vote
II am very sorry" said one of the
men. but as servant Of the public |
am here to obey orders. | think, though,
that women ought to vote, and if had
my way would help them to do So"
IF all the women would do as you are
doing" spoke up another, Il think they
would have the ballot in short time,
They would convince men that they
were in earnest and really wanted it."
Then Mrs. Grannis voted her ticket.
She didn't put it in the slot herself Her
brother did that. But it was her ticket
from beginning to end, and her brother
did not know what was on it till he put
it in.
My brother" said Mrs. Grannis, .has
agreed to give me his vote every other
year because he knows that I am prop
crty holder-that want the right of The

of the thing. We are opposite in our

WOMAN'S WORLD.
BOSTON AND NEW YORK YOUNG Wo-
MEMS ECONOMIC CLUBS.

How Mrs. Grannis yoted--An English wo-
mans Opinion of Us-aIiss Emerson's
Appointment -G Gavc Better Than She
Got--sIiss Means Wins Her Case.
A gentleman, whose opinions on many
subjects the world has thought worth
preserving, has said that. with small va
riations, men and women are interested
IN the same subjects. Lord Chesterfield,
who never made sweeping statements.
and whose knowledge cf women no one
will dispute, is in this belief entitled to
respectful consideration. AT this mo-
ment from Boston comes the news that
the young women there for some time
have had a widely connected organiza-
ton of protective tariff clubs. These
were formed two years ago under the
inspiration of Governor McKinley's
speeches.
1t seems that whenever TIE governor
spoke there was always conspicuous
in the audience young woman with a
notebook. After the speech was ended
she was sure to present herself with
qaery in the group that always collects
to shake hands with the speaker There
was an earnestness in her demeanor and
serious light in her eye that could only
come from deep conviction ard a high
purpose This forbade the thought of
woman reporter. These various young
women were, in fact, the representatives
of the diffcrent young women's protect
i've clubs, now foprishing affiliated
organization.
The enterprise is not at all new one.
In this city group of working girls has
for six years had q club devoted to eco
nomic subjects. This club, however, is
not committed to any selfish one sided
view of these questions, but to the study
of the underlying principles. Their opin-
ions vary as their minds incline. One
girl is protectionist, another a free
trader. 1t is especially interesting to see
how aptly they are able to illustrate and
illuminate their views out of their varied
experiences as workwomen. One of
these girls is shirtmaker. A discussion
between this girl and some picked Bos-
ton classic from the protective clubs
would be as interesting an event as the
prize debates between Harvard and Yale.
There is one thing to be said for the Bos-
ton clubs-they would not wholly de-
stroy the exciting sport of Gliding the
customs. s.-New York Sun.

Shape Of Eggs.
try Yard.

Various attempts have been made to
account for the diversity in shape seen in
eggs. A recent study cOnvinces DR..
Nicolsky that the difference may be traced
to gravity, and his idea confirmed by all
the eggs in the geological collection Of
the st. Petersburg University. He sup
poses that pressure by the sides of the
ovary tends to elongate the egg before
the she'll has hardened. In birds which
keep vertical position while at rest, as
do the falcon and the owl, the soft egg is
made short by the action Of the weight
OF the body against the ovarian pressure;
while in the birds that like the grebe, are
nearly always swimming, the egg is
lengthened because the birds weight acts
with the compression by the ovary. The
egg is N de more pointed atoneend than
at the other in birds that, like the guile
mot, are frequently changing their posi-
tion-sometimes swimming and diving,
sometimes perching on the rocks, etc.
