Mrs. Livermore on Men.

Mrs. Livermore, at the recent annual meeting of the Massachusetts Woman Suffrage Association, gave her views on men.
 Mrs. Livermore said: My husband Is the best suffragist ever met. l was his disciple. He was a suffragist long before we were married, and we have been mar ried for fifty years.
 When we were first married we went to different churches, and we soon found that we differed in our views of many doctrines. 1 said to my husband, lone of us Is wrong." He answered ives, my dear, but it isn't l." He declared, how ever, that 1 had a clear right to go to my own church, and he encouraged me to do so. We still go to different churches, and we never quarrel at dinner on Sunday ov CT the sermon. We are very independ- ent family, and very happy one. The members of our household are doctored by four doctors all of different schools, and we go to four different churches. I rath- CT glory in this, and wish that there were more doctrines to disagree upon. But confess it is terribly expensive to pay pew rents in four churches.
 l have been very fortunate in my male relatives, and am alwas inclined to con fide in men. In fact, never got into trouble in my life except through over | confidence in men. If woman were to call to me from the platform of a moving car, Jump on! jump on! I'll catch youl" l shouldn't think of jumping but the other day, upon receiving that en- couraging invitation from man, I did jump. My foot slipped. Two men who were athletes caught me just in time Two minutes later, and I should hay" been shovelled up in @ basket. Men and brethren, join the Woman Suffrage Assc- citation. 1 am always glad when a man puts his name down as a member of the society It is not our fault that we ale so largely an organization of women.

 We are informed that during the Inst year 8, 1888, ,835, 560 cigarettes were sold in the United States, and 4, ,130, ,440, ,37O ri- gars. The amount of mischief resulting from these millions of cigars and cipHr- cites cannot be estimated in figures.
 The Boston Daily Standard has gNe1 up all advertisements concerning the Il an ufacture or sale of liquors. This is a st,,p in advance which many other papers would do we'll to initiate.
 The Junior Order of American Mechan- ics has resolved that hereafter no one connected with the sale of liquors as a beverage shall be admitted to men b,.r- ship. This is another encouraging sign of the times.
