for many years, said William Dudley
Foulke of Indiana, the prominent civil
service reforiner.
Certainly if suffrage be a right ev-
cry argument which justifles it for men
is equally strong for women. They
have property to protect. They are sub
ject to the laws and my be punished
for breaking them in the same way that
men arc. Why, then, should they have
no voice in making the laws? A repre-
sentative government ought to represent
every phase of thought which exists in
the whole body Of the people. 1t ought
to reflect the opinions of women as well
as Of men. A government derives its
Just power from the consent of the gov
their consent.
Would any considerable number of
women vote il they had the right!"
eyes, within a short time think
they would vote almost as generally as
mon do. AS soon as the right of suffrage
is conferred it brings along duty with
it, and if it was conferred on women
they would feel that they ought to vote,
and they viii not fail TO give their suf-
frages to those things which they believe
will benefit their country. Where
woman suffrage has been tried, as in
Wyoming, and for short time in the
state of Washington, it has been found
that women take an active interest in
elections. Women are not less patriotic
than men are, and the lack of interest
which they have shown has been rather
the result of exclusion from suffrage
than from any lack OF aptitude for po-
litical affairs
Mr.. Foulke said he believed general
female suffrage will be established some
day.

A we'll patronized restaurant in the
trance on two populous thoroughfares.
In front Of the one ON the north lean
and whining beggar nightly stands with
outstretched hand. He makes no audible
complaint, but mutters necessarily in
tone that excites the imagination into
conjuring up every horror that waits
upon excessive poverty. In spite of this
he fares badly, for more men come out
Of this door than enter by it, and as their
stomnchs are full the thought of hunger
in others obtains no abiding place within
their minds.
At the down town entrance there lott
ers, when the lounging policeman is not
in sight, u beggar of another breed. He
is sleek and round, with fat ana shiny
face and merry twinkle in his lazy
eyes. More than once the writer carght
him concealing o cigar behind his back
while lie extended the other hand i'll u
bcsceching way for aims. His sole prayer
is for food, intermingled with fervent
pFotestations that he is starving, and
that he never drinks a drop of strong
liquor. Many men hurrying into the
restaurant with poignant appetite are
touched by his prayers and pause long
enough to drop coin into his hand.
1t is clear that the sleek beggar knows
;hat hungry man is more apt to be
touched by the hunger of others than he
who is well fed, and SO he chooses as
his workshop the door at which the pa
irons of the restaurant enter, leaving the
one through which they leave to the stu

Tho Thrifty Japanese,

What is the reason that Japan has no
poverty probleinl One reason is proba-
bly, to be found in tue land system,
which has given to every worker hold
ing and encouraged him to supply his
wants by his own labor. There is. too,
in Japan a curious absence OF ostenta-
tious luxury.
The habits of living are in all classes
much the same, and tho rich do not out
shine the poor by carriages, palaces and
jewelry. The rich spend their money on
curios, which, if these are costly, is limit
ed, and the most popular agitation il
against the big European houses which
ministers build for themselves. Wealthis
thus net absorbed and is more ready for
investment in remunerative labor. The
last reason which occurs to the mind Of q
traveller with comparatively few oppor-
tunitics for forming opinions is tho
equality OF manners in all classes. Rich
and poor are alike courteous. 1t is not
possible to distinguish employer from
laborer by their behavior. All are clean:
all are easy; all are restrained.

of the casual laborer, certain that his
child will pick up no lad manners and
get no contamination in thought or in

poor to meet as frier lis, and gifts can
pass without degradation. The rich no
hles in the country, just as the universi-
ty men with whom we met in Toxic, are
thus able to give TO those whom they
know to be III need, and friendship be-
cones the channel os charity. The Qu1s-

that some of 1t inay and that Japan may

APromising Career Ended.


No more touching story Of hope and
ambition cut short can be found than

Gently. She was self made woman, and
the story of her struggles for an educa-

a one armed ex- Confederate soldier and
farmer of Laurens county. He was
unable to send his daughter to college,
but she was determined to obtain an od-
ucation. He owned a gin and had
been employing colored man as an ell
gineer. Miss Yeargin asked him to let
her run the engine and to give her the
salary given the colored man. He
consented, but with some doubts of her
ability to fill the position. He was
soon gratified to find that she was fully
capable of acting as engineer. She soon
accumulated enough money to attend
the Methodist college in this city, from
which she graduated. After teaching
in the college for some time she went
to Leesville, s. c., where she taught
about year. She wanted to go higher,
however, and managed to obtain the
means to go to Cornell university to
take a special course. While teaching

Tho Snotted Veil Hnbit.

''The spotted veil habit will have to
have its asylums or gold cures or
something, said an oculist lately. Its
victims increase constantly, and they
seem to be as devoid of will power to
resist the mania as is the devotee of any
evil practice. Intelligent women come
to me to be treated for eye troubles that
in come cases are wholly produced by
the use Of the spotted veil. and in others
seriously aggravated. The harm is
more perceptible now than formerly,
for women wear wells almost incessant-
ly. At the theater, at social afternoons,
at church. everywhere almost, you will
see the covering film of lace. I've
questioned my wife, who is as bad as
any OF you, and she says it is posi-
lively necessary; that ones hair flies
and various disagreeable things happen
if the veil is left off, 80 suppose it will
have to be worn, eyes or no eyes. AT
least, however, wear one without dots,
or with them go far apart that one need
not come within eye range
To which caution another may be
added-to lift the veil, whatever its
texture, when reading in transit 1t is
a common sight to see women in the
elevated cars and suburban trains abb
sorb themselves in book or paper for a
40 minute trip without raising their

Women as Watchnakcrs.

The Waltham matchmaking estab-

its 5000 work people. The superintend-
ent of tho Waltham exhibit at the
World fair said of them, "In many
lines of the work women are superior to
men, and in all lines of the work women
are more faithful than the men," Yet
if that very superintendent needed a
foreman for one of his departments he
would select for the place some STRIPPING
of boy and put him up over the heads
of the Oldest and most faithful women
in the works and give him twice the pay
of the best salaried among these excel
lent work women. 1t is so in every
department Of industry, such is the
power of the sex superstition. This is
