reform school to attend. During the
recent ratification there were some
boys who willfully and malicously
assaulted an old gentleman who at
the time was seeking protection for
his property against the maranders
for the bonfire. They knew him and
tried to thwart him IN asking the
marshal for protection. Verify mis-
sionary work may begin at home.
Miss Harriet Colfax has been light
house keeper at Michigan City on
Lake Michigan for twenty-five years.
and her record of service is one which
any keeper might be proud. She is
a sister Of the late Hon. Schuyler
Colfsx.
Miss Nina Tingler of Dresden,
OHIO, has received a certificate OF
membership in the Philadelphia Hor-
illogical society. This Is an honor OF
which no other woman can boast, and
she is first class watch maker.
The woman suffragists Of the state
are rejoicing over the election OF
Frank Doster to the Supreme bench.
It was he who made an eloquent sp-
peal to the populist state convention
in 1894 for the woman'a suffrage
plank, which was finally adopted
Doster is a firm friend Of woman's
suffrage, and during the session OF
the state Legislature two years ago
the women endeavored to have the
legislature pass special law enfran-
chising two Of the prominent women
suffragists, this bill was to be carried
to the supreme court as a test case,
and Frank Doster promised to plead

chlsement Of women
What a nameless grace is in the
term Of Heart Culture" for to have
heart culture is better than to be born
ruler Of nations. Whenever We hear
the term used, we draw a mental
picture to ourselves, OF a tender
smiling face; eyes quick to discern
anothers gladness or sorrow, u quick
perception of what gives another
pain, and an instructive knowledge of
the art of giving pleasure. Heart
culture represents the cultivation OF
love, joy, peace, long suffering, gen
tleness, goodness, faith, meekness
and temperance.
Miss Susan B. Anthony addressed
the meeting Of the womsn's suffrage
society in Kansas City. American
women Of various shades OF belief
have begun to feel a deep respect for
Susan B, Anthony, but the Worlds
Fair year taught us to know how the
people Of other countries look upon
this woman who has reached a posi-
ton of regard after a life time Of
effort Visitors at thet Fair came
across her pictured or .sculptured

other American woman mot directly

They saw her place Of speaking
changed and changed again because
of the increasing crowd that came to
hear, and at length she spoke in the

might at least see her intelligent face.
There is much more drunkenness
in Russia than any other country.
Corn brandy, as clear as water and
almost as pure as alcohol is set on the
tables in caraffes, just as water, and
is to be taken by everyone. There
are no methods employed to stop in
temperance in Russia. The doors
are closed to the missionary, and the

are above the peasant class though
not respected by them, and below the
the upper class, and therefore they
have no influence to speak of. There
is no temperance paper printed in the
Empire. The new Empress has be-
gun some reforms, and great hopes
are built up upon her influence. She
has prohibited smoking among the
women Of the court and will not
allow the odor of tobacco within the
