"The problem OF woman from bio-so-
Geological point of view" is treated by
Signor G. Ferrer in the current number
Of the Monist. "The essential condition
OF feminine existence" which he desires
to analy re in his paper, is that which he
names "the Law of Non-Labor." GAS it
is natural law that the man must labor
and struggle to live, SO is it a natural law
that the woman should neither labor nor
struggle for her existence. Biology clear
ly shows us that the physiological pros
perity Of species depends on the division
OF labor between the sexes, for in exact
ratio to this is the duration of life. "
In civilized nations female toll is not nee
essary for the production OF the wealth
needed for humanity. "Mau alone could
do this. Woman labor only tends to low
err the marketable value of male labor ;
for, while woman is working in the fac
tories, there are everywhere, and espec-
tally in Europe, crowds Of men vainly
seeking employment, to whom the cessa.
ton Of work is an oft recurrent and terri
BILE evil. This shows that, even from a
sociological point of view, female labor is
a pathological phenomenon.
"Statistics show us an increase Of NOR
tality among women and children in
countries where industrial life has pressed
mothers into its ranks. A perfect woman
should be chef d'Guvre of grace and re-
finement, and to this end she must be
exempt from toll. The working
woman grows ugly and loses her feminine
characteristics. Man labors and
tolls to-day, just as he did Of old, and
there is nothing abnormal in this fact, for
it is his positive duty. What advantage,
then, can be gained by participating in
mans struggle for existence, when wom-
an has only to wait until he places these
benefits at her feet? cannot understand
why the question Of woman suffrage
should so excite public opinion. 1t is en-
tirely profitless to her. If her
husband strains every nerve already to
provide her with the luxuries Of life, he
will certainly not be lax in defending
those interests which are identical with
those of his family"

Used Coke 500 Years Old.

Returning from the funeral OF David
Lister, yesterday, Mr.. Robert Wingate
said he was reminded OF the fact that Mr..
Lister had probably burned in his cupola
while was the foundry business here,
some of the oldest coke that was ever
made, at least so far as its age could be
determined. This coke was at least five
hundred years old, and although Mr..
Wingate did not make it himself, nor did
he know the man who did make It, he
was convinced that it was as old or older
than this from the facts surrounding its
discovery. 1t was while he was super
intendent of the coal mines at Carbon
ado, that a miner one day in working
upward through the coal chutes, struck
his pick in the roof and was surprised to
find Il small deluge coming down upon
him. He was considerably alarmed,
and as the water continued to pour
through for some hours, it was thought
that hidden lake or river had been
tapped. After thinking about it little
time, however, Mr.. Wingate concluded
that there could be no very considerable
supply Of water there, had the opening
widened and it soon drained out, and it
was discovered that c surface fire many
years ago had burned out the upper edge
Of the vein, which is tilted at an angle Of
about As degrees, to a depth Of about 70
feet Tor distance of nearly 200 feet in
length. Having burned down this far
the tilt OF the vein formed made sort Of
oven in which coke had been formed.
Then apparently the rainy season had
come on and quenched the fire. In sue.
cceding years the earth had closed over
the great gap thus made and above il
several very large trees, one OF them al
least 500 years old, had grown. AS the
tree could not have grown, or even
sprouted, when the fire was burning, and
as it would have been destroyed by the
fire had it existed at that time, it fur
nished pretty conclusive evidence Of the
age OF the coke. Mr.. Wingate had some
hundred pounds taken out and brought te
Tacoma and Mr. Lister used it, pronounc
ing it as good coke as he had ever found
in this country, Notwithstanding its ex
treme age.-Tacoma Ledger.

La Grippe,

During the prevalence Of the Grippe the
past seasons it was a noticeable fact that
those who depended upon DR.. Kings
New Discovery not only had speedy re-
covery, but escaped all Of the trouble
some after effects Of the malady. This
remedy seems to have peculiar power
in efecting rapid cures not only in cases
of La Grippe, but in all diseases Of the
Throat, Chest and Lungs, and has cured
cases Of Asthma and Hay Fever Of long
