Precisely the same servility betrays

the unwiSe advancement of mediocr!tv
or the elevation OF the inferior mind
and character to a position which it

with all my heart against the intelli-

country perpetuating in this modern
form that separation of the sexes
in social and public affairs which
is the direct Inheritance of barbariSm

among the barbauans to this day.
] The same is true of their subordina-
ton in those secret societies where
they are admitted to the outer portal
as hewerS of wood and drawers of
water only. The Relief Corps and the
Daughters of the American Revolution
are two exceptions to the rule. Both
are patriotic organizations, and both
are independents; both rank equally
with the Grand Army and the Sons of
the Revolution; indeed, the question of
equality does not arise, for both have
their own officers, their constitution,
and bylaws which they may alter and
/ amend as they see fit. The Pythian
Sisters will doubtless feel chagrined
and mortified at thus having the door
of the Grand Lodge or the Supreme
Temple, or whatever it is, slammed in
their faces. They should, on the con-
trary, send the supreme chancellor
! vote of thanks. If he can thus awaken
! their sense of dignity and make them
understand how obSequious their posi-
ton has been the affront will in the
end rebound to their lasting good.
Women should remember that every
individual who voluntarily accepts in
ferior place or compensation when she
! might d otherwise does vital injury
to all women. There is a wide field

other; where they can aid and
/ strengthen and encourage by precept
and by eXample-the strong uplifting
the weak, the educated enlightening
! the ignorant, the broad and the fair
minded liberalizing the narrow and the
petty. Here is a cause that can stand
upon its own merits without begging
recognition only to be rebuffed.

WOMAN'S KINGDOM.
A Recent Decision Of Chancellor
Blackwell.

The women of the United States owe
a debt Of gratitude to Mr. w. W.
Blackwell, supreme chancellor of the
Knights Of Pythias. There had been
an auxiliary organization formed, COM
posed of the wives, daughters, and sis
terS Of the knights, under the title of
Pythian Sisters The SisterhOod, it
may be supposed, was like all other
feminine branches of mems secret or
ders, permitted to cook, prepare din
nerS and luncheOns, and wait on the
brotherhood upon festive occasions. 1t
seems, however, that they are not to
be accorded even the scant, left
handed sort of recognition enjoyed by
kindred organizations who mistakenly
consider themselves more fortunate
than the Pythian Sisters. The fra
ternal spirit Of the knights, supposed
to commemorate ideal friendship, theI
noblest example of self-sacrifce and
unselfiShness that history affords, isl
not sufficiently broad to included
women. 1t is "as between man and
man" only: the sisters have been in
vited to keep out. It is not to be sup |
posed that their culinary services will
be declined, however; indeed it is /
probable that the knights will wisely |
reason that if the sisters are not dis |
tracted by pseudo-official duties their
cooking will be all the better, and
their own wants all the more salts
factorily provided for.
But, seriously considered. it is a
wholesome lesson What women need
like the negroes of the south, is to cul-
tivate proper pride and necessary self
respect. No woman does or can re-
spect herself who Will look down upon
mems banquets from a gallery, when
she is debarred from her rightful place
at his side, as his equal, at the table.

SEASONABLE HINTS.

Be specially careful Of ~draughts and
sudden changes.
Do not overwork; of what use is wealth
without health.
Keep our feet dry, but do not wear
rubbers all the time.
Dress warmly, but not heavily. Wooden
clothing that permits the exhalations of
the body to escape IL best. Remember
that the pores OF your skin when in
health. are always open and that closing
them auses sickness.
Eat heartily but not too much greasy
food. 1t is q mistake TO suppose that fat
God contains the NEST vitality.
If you feel chilly at any time, lake
some pure stimulant at once and remem-
Der that nothing for this purpose is equal
to pure whiskey.
Bear in min thai Duffy's Pure Malt
is the purest, the best and in fact the
only medicinal whiskey upon the market
and has the highest recommendations.
Do not call the doctor for every slight
ailment. If you have q cold, feel de-
pressed and lack appetite and vigor, you
need something to tone and build up the
system. Nothing win do this so readily
as the pure article we nave mentioned.
Do not be deceived by any druggist or
grocer, however earnestly he may argue
with you hat some other lis just as
good" There Is nothing on the market
equal to Duffy's Pure Malt.

have formed a Tramp Club" The chief
condition of membership is the ability to
walk ten miles, but 1t is not unusual for
the walks to be extended to twice that
length. Twenty-four miles has thus far
been the limit of each tour, and clad in
their suits of striped ticking, made with
blouse waists and skirts just long enough
