The Progress Of Woman.

In all that goes to ameliorate the con-
dition of the human family, morally. Soc
tally, politically, or in material way, no
century of which we have any record,
shines so conspicuously as the present.
Within the past hundred years the repub-
lies of France and the United States have
been born; absolute monarchies have been
Except that of Russia) gradually hedged
in, and their powers decreased; the slave
trade has been made piracy, serfs emanci-
pated in Russia. and slavery wiped out in
our own country. The telegraph and the
railroad with their civilizing influences,
are children of this century. The great
benevolent and fraternal movements have
attained their greatest force in our day.
In our age, too, has begun the emancipa-
tion of woman from the prejudices which
limited her scope of occupation and her
right to complete education. She is now
in all kinds of business and professions,
and the most splendid schools have been
founded for the benefit of her sex. Polit-
ical equality has in many places, too,
been conferred upon her. The luxurious
ness of modern travel. also, is largely due
to the feeling that nothing is too good or
too dainty for women. This it is which
has led to the sumptuousness of the sleep
ing and parlor cars operated On most lines
of railroad. In the management of the
elegant compartment sleeping cars in ser
vice on the Burlington between ST. Paul
and Minneapolis and Chicago, new de-
parture has been taken-two compart
ments are absolutely reserved for the ex-
elusive use of ladies. What convenience
it is for ladies travelling without escort or
in charge of children, to have one of these
cosy boudoirs for their sole use, must be
tried to be appreciated. Tickets via this

ANENT PROHIBITION.

The Rolla Star of late date has a
lurid editorial on the attempt by some
parties to raise fund for the prose-
cution of blind-piggers. 1t jumps on
the attempt with both feet, and goes
so far as to hint that no loyal citizen
will encourage any such thing. Now,
to our mind. this is the. ouly way to
safely and vigorously enforce the law.
No one or two men in town or COM
munity care to incur the displeasure
Of the pigger and his followers-their
name is legion-while at the same
time the large majority Of the people
would be more than pleased to see
every blind-pigger and bootlegger
prosecuted could il be done without
my trouble 81 III feeling toward them

selves. Many who do not favor the
law are yet anxious to see it enforced
until repealcd-if if ever-bnt they are
unwilling to appear in the prosecution
of such things. If the business men
Of town could see these matters in
their true light-if they could see
that the secret dealer in illicit poisons
is their financial foe, and the deadliest
one they have to contend with, they
would form union in every town in
the state and see to it that the circu-
lating medium of the country went in
to legitimate channels of trade. 1t is
matter Of self-preservation for the
business man.

In letter to the Pioneer Press,
one Mrs. Marietta Bones, writes from
South Dakota in the following strain

can blame Miss Susan for this; it is
her business. And she is better paid
for her services than any United
States senator that she annoys with
her lingo of "woman's needs" If
Miss Anthony really believes that the
enfranchisement of woman would be a
benefit to her, then she is deluded as
to the truth. My opinion on this
subject is not born of observation
alone, but from nine years work in
the suffrage cause.

Smut.

The destructive nature of this pest will
be seen and in measure realized, when
we get the figures on the subject 1t is
estimated that smut alone caused loss to
the farmers of the Northwest in 1893, OF
81, 500, 900. To the farmers of this coun-
ty, it is probably the most pressing dan.
ger of the coming season, and we would
urge on all who intend sowing wheat, a
thorough treatment of all seed. Accord.
ing to the bulletin issued by the Minneso.
ia University Experiment Station, the on.
ly reliable, safe and cheap method is by
"blue-stoning," and although this has
been practiced by many of our readers,
and the method is to some extent familiar
to nearly ALL yet we give below the details
as advised in this bulletin, believing tina,
the need is urgent and many need stirring
up on the matter:
dissolve one pound of blue-stone (Cop.
per Sulphate) in a pailful and a half OF
water (about three gallons), and sprinkle
the solution on about ten bushels of seed
wheat. previously spread in tight wagon
box, or on a clean floor in barn or house,
keeping the grain constantly stirred while
the solution is being applied and mixing
the whole thoroughly so that every kernel
of wheat may be wetted. In very few
hours the seed will be in good condition
to SOW with the drill. A good plan is tc
apply the treatment in the evening and
sow the grain the following morning II
the water is used warm and the Jumps OF
blue-stone be broken the solution may
be made in few minutes AS the solu.
tion of blue-stone lessons to some degree
the terminating power of the wheat. and
more so when it remains long in contact
with it, the safe plan is to treat the seed

destroy all spores. thorough cleaning

they can sell it to farmers at about ten
cents per pound.
In dry spring weather some farmers in
the dry climate at Indian Head we're in
the habit of making up fthe solution ot
the strength mentioned and then dipping
the wheat in loose bags into the solution
and letting it dry in the bags. In our
moister climate this would, probably be
injurious, as in many instances the amount
of water absorbed by the wheat would
probably cause it to spoil unless spread
and dried. As we are anxious to learn all
possible regarding this matter we would
be pleased to get reports from any who
have had practical experience.

The Importance Of cooks in the
political world is much greater than
most people suppose. An ambassa-

portion to the skill of his cook.

all the European courts over affairs

The system of the German Army.

1t IS impossible to conceive a more
thorough system than that on which
the German army is based. In every
village there is a certain amount OF
money deposited in the town hall
which is sufficient to keep all the sol
1iers in the village in food for thirty
lays after the declaration of war.
Next to the town hall are the arm
Dry, arsenal and barracks Of the
place. Here are the cannon and the
smaller arms, the ammunition, and
every requisite for wal. The officers
live in the building.
Scattered throughout the villages
are the soldiers. Those who have
passed the first term Of service are en-.
gagged in various occupations. Every
horse In the village is duly ticketed
and appraised. At stated times the
horse is taken from his position in the
shafts ofa carriage, or butchers, ba-
ker's, or candlestick-maker's cart,
mounted by a soldier, n hitched to a
gun carriage, drilled into his bust.
ness, and then returned to his owner.
The instant war breaks out the horse
becomes the property Of William ii.
This condition of things exists in
every corner of the Empire. The in
slant the Emperor decides on war,
the entire Geographic and railway
service is turned over to the State;
the shoemaker In the village dons his
uniform, jumps upon his neighbor's
horse and reports himself at the bar
racks; the bag of money is put in the
gun carriage; and within a few hours
the entire force of the village. town
or city, is standing in the road ready
