A writer in Womankind says that the
great question for women today should
be not the ballot, but Justice, the exac-
ton of the Same code OF morals for men
and women. the treatment Of a man as
a moral leper, let alone by women ev-
eryyvhcre if the woman is to become an
outcast- That is a better question than
the one of the ballot. That is equal
rights; that is equal wrongs. The bodily
pure women are not always mentally
pure, but let those who are in the posi-
ton from which ''stone throwing is
possible Stone both CT none and refuse
the hand Of fellowship to both or none
There Is more equal rights IL this qles-
ton than in that of the ballot IN any
shape

Progress. of Co-Educatton.

The great prosperity of the four great
colleges for women has led some to
think that the separate education for
girls would be the chosen of the people.
An examination of the whole field will
throw some light upon this. Some two
years aga q computation was made,
based on Commissioner Harris report
for 1SS3-84, which showed that at that
date there were in colleges and univer.
stiles in the United States about co.
OOO women students. The list included
that glorious army of inspiring lesser
colleges not acknowledged by the edu-
cationally elect, and did not include
some Of the universities where the re.
ports did not distinguish the sex of stu.
dents. But by the aid Of the moderate
guesses Of some educational experts,
and by keeping very much within
bounds. an estimate was made which
may be considered fairly correct. OF
these 10000 it was found that about
10000 were in colleges for women
alone. Since a very large proportion
Of this 10000 is made up from the
crowded registers Of Vassar, Wellesley,
Smith, and Bryn Mawr plausibility
seems to be given to the theory men.

SECRET OF LIFE.
Terrible Mistake of Surgeon Ends
His Professional Expectations.

Terrible Mistake of Surgeon Ends
His Professional Expectations.
"A few years ago." said Charles J.
Patterson, of Philadelphia, Il learned
the secret Of the life of man who had
passed more than quarter of cen
fury with scarcely a smile. He had
been physician and surgeon. and on
one occasion had to remove an injured
eye in order to save the other eye and
prevent total blindness. The night be-
fore the operation lie had been drink
ing heavily with some friends, and,
although the following morning he was
sober, his hand was unsteady and his
nerves unstrung.
after administering chloroform he
made fatal and horrible blunder, re-
moving the well eye by mistake, and
thus consigning the patient to perpet-
ual blindness. The moment he discov-
cred his error he turned the man over
to competent surgeon, decGed every
thing he possessed to him and hurried
from the neighborhood like :, con-
victed thief. The remainder OF his life
was one constant round of remorse,
and he rapidly developed into con-
firmed misanthrope. The secret of his
life was known to a number Of people
but when it was revealed to ME it ex-
planned mystery and made me re-
spect the man. for however grave was
his original blunder, which In some re-
spects was, of course, worse than q
crime, his repentance was of the most
genuine character. New York Rec

Flavor of Meat.

The character of the food has much
to do with the flavor of the flesh, milk
fat, or even the eggs of animals, says
the New York Times. When the cows
are permitted in pursuit of depraved
and diseased appetite, to consume the
litter thrown out of the horse stables
it makes the milk unfit for butter or
cheese, although the person who per-
mits this may have his own taste SO
blunted as to fail to recognize the fla
vor of the manure in the milk or
cream he pours into his coffee or tea.
Only the purest kinds Of food are per-
Missile in the dairy or poultry yard,
and eggs are so sensitive to the favors
of the food that those of hens fed on
fish will give the rankest kind Of
taste.
This applies to the feeding Of pigs
for pork Boiled potatoes and barley
meal make the finest Favored bacon.
The mast of chestnut and ,ak forests
gives a peculiar flavor to the meat
that some persons think very desirable.
Pea-fed pork is harder than that fed
en- corn, while that made from the
mast of the beech or from other oily
nuts is soft and oily and wastes in
the cooking. Alilk-fed pork is white,
but hard and dry. The milk should be
fed with buckwheat bran or meal to
avoid this hardness Of the lean meat.
The flesh Of pigs fed on clover pas
ture through the summer and fatted
on mixed oats and peas for four weeks
after leaving the pasture will be found
excellent in every way and distinctly
streaky, having the fat and lean well
intermixed. This is the perfection of
pork, while mass of fat on mere
streak Of lean, hard and dry, is the very
worst.

The Dog on Guard.

One of the postof1ice Officials of Bos.
ton Is the owner Of a bulldog that he
would not part with under any cir.
cumstances. This dog considers it his
special duty to ride to and from tho
depot and postofice on the mail wagon
and keep guard of the mail sacks, saws
the Globe. He has followed this Gus.
tom for a number of years.
One night, after the unloading of the
mail car, he started to ride, as usual.
on the bags on the wagon, but when
the postoftice was reached he was not
OH board. This was strange, for here.
tofoEe no temptation had ever been
strong enough to lure him from his
post. Trc sacks were delivered, and
as tie man called them over one was
found 20 DC missing. The wagon driver
hurried back to look along the streets.
After searching over good part of
the route he suddenly discovered the
dog sitting in the gutter wagging his
tail, and evidently ovcrjoyed at being
recognized. On going up to him the
driver found the dog sitting on the lost
mail sack. He had evidently noticed
it when it fell from the wagon, and
had Immediately jumped off and stood
guard over it.
