Blaine on Free Coinage.

Garbled and misleading quotations
have been made from Mr.. Blaine's
speech Of Feb. Z, 1878, the purpose of
the Misrepresentation being to show
that he favored the free coinage of
silver at the ratio of 16 to 1. The
whole drift of his speech was adverse
to such coinage and here is one para
graph in which the objection is very
explicitly stated
''Our line of policy in a joint move
ment with other nations to remone tie,
is simple and direct. The difficult
problem is what we shall do when we
aim to re-establish silver without the
cooperation of European powers and
really as an advance movement to
coerce those powers into the same
policy. Evidently the first dictate of
prudence is to coin such dollar as will
not only do justice among our citizens
at home, but will prove a protection
an absolute acknowledgements the gold
monometallists of Europe, who, when
the opportunity offers, will quickly
draw from us the one hundred and
sixty millions of gold coin which we
now hold. If we coin silver dollar of
full legal tender, obviously below the
current of value of the gold dollar, we
are opening wide our doors and invit-
ing Europe to take our gold. With our
gold flowing out from us we shall be
forced to the single silver standard and
our relations with the leading CONNER
cial countries of the world will be not
only embarrassed but crippled"

Care in Cultivating Orchards.-The
cultivating and manuring of orchards
require a good deal of thought and
temperance. Too much of either may
be bad and too little Of either is GER
tainly bad. Too much manure and
cultivation may cause such a rapid
development Of the tree that 1t will
yield more readily to adverse circum-
stances. Too late cultivation In the
FALL may start new growth of wood
that will not have time to ripen before
growth ceases.

Whitewashing Apple Trees.-The
old New England custom of washing

probably good one. 1t is noticed here

first scraped with a scraper, at least
in New England, where scrapers can be
obtained that have been used for scrap.

the leather used. After cutting piece

Enter Not Bohemia.

1.-THE Girl Who Is Employed" is af-
fectionately addressed and wisely coun-
seled by Ruth Ashmore in Ladies' Home
Journal. The writer tells the girls of
their duty to their employers and to
themselves, discusses matters of dress
and warns them against 1.-THE dangerous
land' which she designates Bohemia,
(which seems to you SO attractive. In
reality it is a country of which you
should not become q citizen No matter
whether your friends call you prude or
not. do not permit the social side of
Your life to degenerate into a free and
easy condition where no respect is
shown to you as a woman. In Bohemia
there may be some laughter, but be sure
there are many tears. In that land you
would probably spend all your wages in
one day Of festivity, and be beggar, or
worse still, borrower for the rest of
the week. In that land woman buys
one fine frock, too fine for her position
in life, and during the working hours
she looks untidy and always suggestive,
by her shabby finery, of a gay girl rath-
er than we'll bred woman, which is
what the busy girl should aim to be.
''In Bohemia it is claimed there is a
jolly good fellowship, and nothing else,
between men and women. You don't
want to be jolly good fellow. You
want to be woman who is respected,
not only because of her sex, but because
of herself, and the free and easy life in
which a man offers woman cigarette,
and she volunteers to get for him some
thing that he counts more cheerful than
a cup of tea, is one which my busy girl
does not want to live. If for no other
reason, this would be one. In Bohemia
all women must be young and beausi-
full. and you are not going to be that
forever. So make for yourself social
world that will be enjoyable, that will
be pleasant, but where you will be liked
when youth and beauty have gone, be-
cause of the good that is in you mental
ly and spiritually.

Tho Loss OF Mrs. Dietrich.

In the untimely and unexpected de-

Mrs. Ellen Battelle Dietrich, equal suf-
frage for women has lost one of its
brightest and most efficient advocates,
reform workers everywhere, and in
Massachusetts and Ohio especially, an
esteemed and beloved friend, and her
family wife and mother who resembled
in her various virtues and abilities the
ideal woman described in Proverbs.
shall never forget the charming hos
pltality which Lucy Stone and myself
enjoyed some years ago, during our last
visit to Cincinnati, in the beautiful
home of Mr.. and Mrs. Dietrich in Cow
lngton, Ky. At meeting held in their
spacious parlors we had the privilege of
advocating the equal suffrage cause be-
fore the leading residents of Covington
and Newport, many of whom had never
before heard the matter presented. The
high regard and esteem in which both
husband and wife were held by the COM

greatest value, for Mrs. Dietrich had
been for years Lady Bountiful and
had organized the charities and reforms
of her city.

While lively warfare is being car

ems right to adopt scientific vocations
an important point has, our correspond
ent says, been gained by them. The first
lady doctor in Vienna, Georgine Won
Roth, has been appointed to practice
and has taken the oath. Some months
ago the doctor of the Imperial School
For Officers Daughters, which has about
800 boarders and nearly 100 teachers
and servants, committed suicide, and
among the many competitors for the
post was DR.. Georgine Won Roth, who
took her degree in Bern and has since
been numbered among the assistants of
Professor Neusser. The authorities, aft
er long consideration, came to the con-
clusion that the medical treatment of
girls and women, as far as is required
of the school doctor, could not be in
trusted to safer hands than those of a
woman, and as Professor Neusser takes
the responsibility of Fraulein Won Roth
being fully capable the lady doctor was
appointed. Her mother is a Countess

Making the sound Of Hoof Be.t..

In these days of war plays and stage
realism the sound of hoof beats is worked
into pretty nearly every melodrama.

produced, and very few, too, could make
the noise right even if they had the ap-
paratus. 1t takes quitS.a lot of practice
to be a good "horse, as Ut is called.
The necessary outfit consists of a table
on which is long marble slab covered
with rubber graduated from an inch
thick down to the thinness of piece of
paper. The operator has strapped to
each hand half a cocoanut shell, on the
edge of which is fastened horseshoe
He starts in pounding them ON the thick
rubber to initiate hoof beats in the dis
lance and gradually works along to the
thin part as they are supposed to come
nearer, and finally ends up with clat-

pulled up just outside the scene.

most effective of all the hoof beat ma
