Twill you vote to have the word

constitution The question was asked
by Mrs. Russell Sage, and the writer,
being woman, promptly replied in the
affirmative and Immediately added her
name to the petition, which already con-
tanned the signatures of Mrs. Sage, Mrs.
F. F. Thompson, Miss Helen NJ. Gould
and others Thus treasured, Mrs. Sage
continued: 81 am not a pronounced

also Mr.. Sage.
Il thoroughly believe in women hay
ing a voice in the government, especially
when they are taxed. Taxation without
representation will no more be imposed
on women today than it was years ago
upon our ancestors when under the Eng
fish yoke.

part of the state owned entirely by rich
widows. They pay the taxes, but have

do you think women would vote if
they had the opportunity" l queried.
THE best women would vote the best
way" resumed Mrs. Sage. "Of course
there might be the bad element, but /
feel assured that less fraud would be
practiced and the polls made more re-
spectacle by women voting. On the
whole, believe women would elevate
politics as they have everything else
they have gone into.
"Women are voting in Colorado, and |
if suffrage gets footing in New York
other states will follow"
This is a new venture for Mrs. Sage,
who has been a prominent though unob-

Made a Fortune and a Name.

One of the most enterprising women
of Europe was Nine. Maya, widow of a
French photographer of that name and
wife of the sculptor Dial lotto, who died
in Venice few weeks ago. About %
years ago she decided to make series
of photographs of the treasures of Ven
ice-buildings, bridges, pictures, etc.
She was remarkably successful and sold
thousands of photographs. She left
fortune estimated at many millions.
She married the we'll known sculptor
Dial lotto few years ago, and her house
soon became the trysting place of the
art and literature circles of Venice. She
helped hundreds in various ways, and
great regret is felt at her death. -San

gifts, some of the names rather outstrip-
ping the present, it seems to the casual
reader-as, for instance, the Earl of
Craven, who is credited with a pencil
case, and the Duchess of Marlborough a
blotting book. But the bride had no
cause to complain. Her father emptied

husband picked up few baubles for

that one firm of cattle kings owns
10000 domestic animals, in neat
cattle, sheep and pigs, with two
great cattle ranches, and eight
main farms, beside 10000 acres in
grain, comprising in all 100000
acres, or 100 miles of land, the

haps it may give a clearer idea to
say that they own all the land on
the west bank of the San Joaquin

on the opposite side; and it is said
of them that in driving their beef
cattle to market in San Francisco,
for over hundred miles they drive
them over their own land, and put
up each night at one of their own

BILE of realizing. Although the
"boundless" West has been rapidly
stocked with settlers from all parts
of the world during the past few
years, there is still plenty of room
for more. Perhaps as good a way
as any to obtain an approximate
idea of the vastness of our prairies
is to take the dimensions of one
ranch, and then reflect that this is
but one of many hundreds. This
is done for us by a writer in the

Timber 1000 Years Old.

Experts seem to be divided as to
which of the two hard woods-jar-
rah or karri-of Western Australia
is the most durable.
Jarrah wood piles two feet two
inches square, driven thirty-three
years ago at the Largs Bay pier,
were found, on examination, to be
as sound as the day they were put
in.
Some specimens of kari wood
taken from a fence were recently
sent to London, and, though the
wood had been underground for
twenty-five years, it was perfectly
sound. A specimen of jarrah wood
under similar circumstances showed
serious decay.
In some tests made with small
squares of various woods buried one
inch in the ground the following
results were obtained: Birch and
aspen decayed in three years; will
10 and horse-chestnut in four years
maple and red beech in five years
elm, ash, hornbeam and Lombardy
poplar in seven years; oak, Scotch
fir, Weymouth pine and silver fir
decayed to depth of half an inch
in seven years; larch, juniper and
arbor vitae were uninjured at the
expiration Of the seven years.
The redwood of California has
the quality of being nearly fire.
proof. The root of the brier is the
only wood which does not burn
when exposed to fire.
Cocus-wood is the hardest wood
known; oak is the strongest. The
heaviest British wood is that of the
box-tree, which sinks in water.
Hornbeam is the strongest and
toughest wood for mechanical use.
The strongest American wood is
that of the nutmeg hickory; the
most elastic, the lamar oak; the
heaviest, the bluewood of Texas.
In situations so free from moist
ure that we may practically call
them dry the durability of timber
is almost unlimited. The roof of
Westminster Hall is more than
$50 years old. In Sterling castles,
are carvings in oak, well preserved,
over 300 years of age. Scotch fir
has been found in good condition
after a known use of 300 years,
and the trusses of the roof of the
basillica of st. Paul, Rome, were
sound and good after 1000 years
Of service.
Wood constantly wet in fresh
water is quite as durable. Piles
were dug from the foundations of
the old Savory Palace in perfect
ly sound state after having been
down $50 years. The piles of Old
London bridge were found sound
and perfect 800 years after they
were driven.

COMING ROUND THE CURVE.


There Is clever maxim,
Which would on YOU impress,
Whether in Joy or sorrow,
In pleasure or distress,
To keep your wits about you,
And faithfully observe,
To look out for the engine.
When it's coming round the curve.
Should business cares Cypress you,
And timrs seem hard and drear.
An honest heart and sunny smile
viii all your future cheer.
Put on the brakes, keep a sharp look out
The maxim we'll win serve,
II you blow your whistle lively
When you're coming round the curve.
If a gay coquette should charm you,
With eyes and hair like night,
To make your poor heart autter,
And telescope II quite,
You bring TO mind this maxim
And then without reserve)
To hoist the danger signal
When she's coming round the curve.
To do your duty manfully,
To cleave unto the right
Will make life all the happier
And your joys will be more bright.
II you leave the wrong behind you
And from the right ne'er swerve;
The engine will not harm you
When it's coming round the curve.
And when the grim destroyer
Shall stare you in the face,
Remember that the lot Of all
Is anal resting place.
Don't let this thought unman you,
But be man Of nerve,
But look out for the engine
When its going round the curve.
