members, oil of whom are well known.
They are Mrs. Ellen Batelle Dietrich,
Mary A. Livermore and Fannie Il. Ames.
The Committee on Patriotic Instruction
is composed of six members, of whom
Eliza u. Keith, better known as "Di Yer
non," California poet and litterateur;
Frances Il. Willard, Mrs. Isabella 9. Da.
Wis and Mrs. Caroline Il. Merrick are very
widely known.
The National Council. while the larg-
est of all the national organizations of
women of the country, is one of the new
est. 1t is logically the result rather than
the outgrowth of the National Suffrage
Association and the American Association
for the Advancement of Women. In 1888
and 1889, they began an agitation looking
toward a new organization, built upon a
much broader basis. This eliminated in
the first session of the body, which took
place In 1891, which was very remarka-
BILE success. The second triennial should
have been held in 1894, but as nearly all
the members had net in Chicago at the
Worlds Fair, and especially at the
Worlds Congress, and had transacted
much of the business which usually comes
before the council. they deemed 1t adj
visable to postpone the second trienniai
to the prescut year, and in the meantime

The Law-Mnlrers.

The famous Detroit health board BIZ
passed the House Tuesday and was givej
immediate effect. The measure legisiates
the present Board of Health from office
and provides for n new board appointed
by the Governor. The most important
bills introduced were: Increasing the tax
on liquors; providing bounty of 500
each to surviving veterans of the late
war; abolishing the present State Board
of Health and creating new one, in
which the Sc sretary of the board is pro-
hibited frops being a member; providing
for the appointment of an Assistant At
torney General mt Il salary of $1,000 per
year; for the township unit school sys-
tenn providing a one-ifteenth mill tax
for the support of State Normal School;
abolishing the medical department at the
State University; appropriating $1,000
for the holding of dairymen's State in
stitutes; providing n bounty of cents
per pound on beet sugar; establishing
State hospital for consumptives; provid-
ing n State Board of Medical Examiners.
The Legislature adjourned "Wednesday
night until Monday, out Of respect to the
memory of George Washington! Both
houses broke the record for the introduce
ton of bills, n total of over 600 having
been presented in both houses The bill
Incorporating the villages of the State
was signed by the Governor. Two other
bills for the Incorporation of cities arc
in the hands of the committee and others
are being prepared. Legislative sessions
may be shortened fully one-half by the
passage of these bills. Among the bills
introduced was one making an appropria-
ton of $50, 900 for hospital for consump-
tives; another proposes to appropriate
100000 for Grand Army memorial hall,
and another appropriates $1,000 annually
for the support of the State Fair Society.
The Senate passed the bill requiring a
registration of all voters previous to the
coming April election.

Wisconsin, 42.sc. Speaking Of farms

Wisconsin, 1875. Speaking OF farms
alone, Utah also stands the highest 10
regard to mortgages of any of the North
ern States, only 90 per cent. of her farms
being incumbered. The percentage in
Wyoming is 1905. in Montana 1878,
Idaho 1852, Oregon 23.36, Colorado 2o.5S
and Washington 26.I6.
Nearly 81 per cent. OF the farms in lib
nois are mortgaged. In Indiana the farm
ers are in a little better condition, the
percentage being 33. 10, and in Ohio they
are little better still, the percentage
being $500. 1t is shown, however, that
1851 per cent. of the mortgages upon
farms in the United States represent de-
ferrcd payments of purchase money, and
$3.50 per cent. purchase money and per-
manent improvements. The remainder,
as has already been stated, represent
farm machinery, stock and other articles
that add TO the value of the property and
make its cultivation more profitable. In
Illinois 74.43 per cent of the mortgages
represent deferred payments of purchase
money; in Indiana. 69.97; Iowa, 69.49;
Michigan. 1920; Nebraska, 1902; North
Dakota. 1920; Ohio. 69.5S; Oregon, 5i.S4;
South Dakota. 25.47; Washington, 46.51;
Wisconsin, G9.30. The percentage OF
mortgages due to all other objects than
deferred payments of purchase money, inn
provements, machinery. stock and other
articles of permanent value is only $50 in
the entire United States. The highest
rate is found in the Southern States,
where the planters are in the habit of Sc
curing advances upon their crops, which
often are not sufficient TO meet them, and
then mortgage lapscs over upon the prop
erty. In Alabama the percentage Of
such farms is 600, in Georgia 400, in
Louisiana 6.12, in South Carolina 6.52,
in Virginia 1858.
OF the mortgago1 farms and homes in
the United States 1914 per cent. are
worth less than 1000, 1910 per cent.
are worth between $1,000 and $500,
25.25 per cent are worth between $500
and $4,000. 3.24 per cent. between $1,000
and $4,000, 1916 per cent. arc worth
$4,000 and over and 1890 worth $4,000
and over.

Substitute for the Forge.

The substitute for the ordinary forge,
as proposed by George -. Burton of
Boston, consists of method of heat
ing by plunging the metal into vessel
of water and passing n strong current
of electricity through it, the apparatus
comprising n wooden bucket contain
ing Il large sheet of lead, which forms
the positive pole, and an iron bar laid
across the bucket, forming the negative
pole. The metal to be heated is held
in the tongs, which are rested on this
iron cross piece and dipped into the
liquid as desired, thus avoiding all flexi-
BILE connections with the tongs. Two
ordinary nails held in the tongs and
dipped in the liquid are found to be
heated to welding heat in few sec
ouds, SO as afterwards to be welded
on an anvil with few blows of the
hammer. or they may be welded by
simply allowing them to fuse together.
The solution which has been found
best adapted to this purpose is solu-
ton of ten parts carbonate of soda
and one of borax dissolved in water un-
til the specific gravity at seventy de-
degrees is 1.150.

ments, was rapidly promoted, and in 1864
was assigned to the command of the

been built up forty-fve feet from the
ground. The completed dome, however,
will rise 165 feet above the ground 1t
will be seen, therefore, that there is a
good deal yet to be done. When work
was suspended for the winter the first
cornice had been reached and a few of
the blocks on the next course of granite
were laid. The square part of the monu-
ment will rise twentyseven feet above
the first cornice, before the circular part
of the structure begins. All of the twelve
attached columns that ornament the side,
and back of the lower part have been put
in place, and most of the ten detached
pillars which form the colonnade in front
OF the porch are also set.

out in the vestry on the way in which

was heard to mut:er that there should
