A Question of Simple Justice.

Prior to 25 years ago there were no
wcmen's clubs in the country. To-Day
there are no fewer than 500 feminine
organizations, representing a member
ship of more than 80, 600 women, and
these have been called into existence and
carried on with continuous propriety by
my own sex exclusively. These club
concern themselves with the discussion
of every important question of the day,
and a great number of them give espe
cial attention to political study.
AS women become familiarized with
politics from governmental and cOnsti-
tutiOnal points of view they develop
an interest in the ballot and begin to
recognize that in simple justice the pre-
rogative of a vote should be accorded
them. Therefore, in my estimation, the
opinion that women should have vote
is spreading widely among the progress
i've and intelligent women of the day.
Among these L recognize many women
who only n few years ago were arrayed
in the strongest opposition to the wom-
an's suffrage movement
In the ranks of illiterate or ignorant
women I do not think the subject has
gained any Roadway, as they do not
know anything about it. They are afraid
of it, sensitive to the ridicule they may
excite in the inferior intelligence of
their daily associates. The number of
the violent and aggressive agitators of
women s rights does not seem to aug
ment, but the able, earnest, evenly bal
anced pioneers of the cause have reason
to congratulate themselves upon the
steady, upward, intelligent growth of
the ideas they We're the first to dissent
nate--Jennie June.

Paolzine Arax For summer.

There are few things among the house
keepers duties that are as imperfectly
understood and about which so much
unnecessary fuss is made as the putting
away of winter clothing and furs in
order to keep them safely and prevent
the ravages of moths. Plans innumer-
able are devised, and chemicals and
drugs without limit are recommended,
and all the while the industrious de-
stroyer goes ON, and when autumn comes
little is left but perforations to tell the
stor@pf failure. Very little is required
in order to insure the success of the
packing away, and this little is, in most
cases, comprehended by precautions TAX
en- in time and the use of close bags of
thick paper. Put away early in the sea
son, after thorough beating and dust
ing, furs will, 90 times out of 100, come
out in perfect order, but they must be
done before the moth season begins, else
the precaution avails but little.
In case it is necessary to have them
about late in the season the danger may
be removed by busting them with very
dry salt and allowing them to remain
a few hours. Unless the salt becomes
damp, it does neither furs nor garments
any manner of harm and is one of the
most effectual preservatives. Moths do
not IKE Salt ana Will not Work IN gar
ments that are sprinkled with it. When
perfectly dry, it is unlikely to produce
any injurious effect whatever.
Carpets, rugs, draperies, indeed ev-
erything of the wool or fur nature, may
be safely packed in this way
Last year fine rugs and carpets were
put into bags made of ticking Before
rolling them up salt was sprinkled
through them and shaken into every
portion The bags were then hung up in
dry attic, and when they We're un-
packed in November they were in the
most perfect order It is unnecessary
and wasteful-this destruction from
moths-about which so much is said,
when 10 cents worth of salt is suffi-
cient to insure the safety of all of the
wool materials in an ordinary sized
house--New York Ledger.

The only woman astronomer of any
importance on the Pacific coast is Miss
Rose O'Halloran- She is also the only
woman member of the Astronomical So
ciety of the Pacific, having been nomi
mated to the honor by Professor Holden
From her earliest childhood she was at
tracted by astronomy. and 1T was the
one study that was always a pleasure
and never a task.
In appearance Miss O'Ha1loran is in
teresting She is very small, with a
welI~ shaped head firmly set on small
shoulders and held up with that indie
scribabIe air that denotes character Her
eyes are gray, with circles about them
that tell of watching at night, bnt they
are very pleasant, cheerful eyes Tor all
that She dresses with the utmost SIM
plicity.
Miss O'Halloran was born in Carrick
on-Suir, Tipperary, Ireland. Her father
was we'll to do, and his daughter re-
ceived good education After his death
the family wealth rapidly disappeared,
and the carefully raised daughter had
to think about earning a living. Miss
O'Halloran came to America and began
teaching, and she naturally chose as
tronomy, her favorite subject, as her
speciality She managed to keep up her
independent observations in spite of the
difficulty of teaching all day and star
gazing all night. Her chief difficulty
was the lack of fitting instrument for
her work She was at last enabled to
obtain her hearts desire. Professor

her struggles, and it was by the help of
his wife and himself she finally owned
a Al inch Brashear refractor.
The room where Miss O'Halloran and
the telescope do their work is an Observ-
atory and classroom combined, for she
still finds it necessary to teach. In place
of pictures the observatory is hung with
maps and charts of the heavens. Just
now she is looking for variable stars.
On every clear night she scans the heav-
ems in the region of Scorpion. Each
night she draws map on which the
positions and magnitude of the stars are
indicated In 1894 she will have COM
pleted her third set of maps. From these
she will determine what stars she sup
poses to be variable in Scorpion. On
JAN 8, 1893, she observed and sIzetched
a rapidly developing group Of spots near
the sun 8 western limb. The return of
the group on the eastern limb was first
seen ON Feb. 4. This group was identi-
fed with the great February sun spot
group, so that Miss O Halloran was one
of the very earliest observers, and pos
sibly the earliest, which shows what
can be accomplished by industry even
with nothing better than a inch tele-
scope. During years of struggle and
study she has added to her income by
writing astronomical articles for maya
zines.
AT present Miss 0 Halloran is collect
ing material for book. She expects it
to take years, but some day all the maps
and diagrams she is drawing will be
collected and published San Francisco
