where Women Enjoy Almost the Same
Rights Men.
From the earliest period the Ice
landic woman has enjoyed distinct In.
dividuality. The wife has always held
the place of an equal with her husband
in matters pertaining to the home. In
the old days she wore bracelet, from
which hung the insignia of of1ce-her
keys and purse. Now that she has laid
aside the gold wristband, these signfi-
cant household accoutrements are
carried in the dress pocket; but they
are hers, nevertheless.
Icelandic women, says Answers, vote
in all church and parish matters, and.
as the church and state are combined,
this is in reality civic privilege. They
also have full municipal suffrage, but
as yet cannot vote upon matters per-
tanning to commerce nor for members
of parliament, though there is a strong
sentiment abroad in favor of giving
them these additional advantages.
Women take part in many political
meetings, and talk upon all political
subjects. During the althing sessions
great numbers of the most intelligent
women of the capital city are in con.
slant attendance. For some years
there has existed political society of
women, and when momentous ques-
tons affecting their interests are be-
fore the legislative body large meetings
are called and addressed by women, set

happiness. The laws of heredity are infex-
ible. The mothers weakness will surely
show in some way in her child. A mother
can make her child's life happy and success
fal, or miserable and failure. She can do
it by making and keeping herself perfectly
strong and healthy during the period of ges-
tation. She can do this by taking Doctor
Pierce's Favorite Prescription. 1t is most
wonderful cure for all forms of female weak
ness and disease, and perhaps its greatest
usefulness is in preparing for the trials and
dangers of childbirth. 1t is strengthen
ing, purifying tonic. 1t acts directly on the
organs distinctly feminine, drives out all i'm
purities, promotes regularity and restores
hearty, vigorous health. 1t will positively
cure any form of female weakness or disease.
1t is the preparation of a regular medical
practitioner, whose great success as a spe-
cialist in the treatment of diseases of women
has made him famous all over the world.
Dr. Pierce is now, and has been for thirty
years, chief consulting physician in the
Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, at
Buffalo, N. Y.

than were necessary, and that it was not
clear as to what was done with the
surplus. The committee seems to be
trying hard to get at the bottom of the
matter; but has not yet developed any
thing crooked. The penitentiary books
contain pencil note showing that the
shoes were charged to Colonel Neal.
Director Willoughby swears that the
mark was not there when he first saw
the book; but the bookkeeper swears
it was There has been testimony to
show that the guano that was described
as being wasted, was as we'll taken care OF
as was possible and every charge has
either been met point blank with an
equally positive opposite statement from
some one of the witnesses for the defense,
or plausibly explained. The principal
accusers are Director Willoughby and
ex-Captain Allen, of the penitentiary
guard. 1t is clear that both of them are
especially hostile to Colonel Neal /; but
whether it is because Of his alleged
peculations or some personal matter,
has not yet been fully developed. Ac-
cording to the present outlook, Colonel
Neal will be exhonerated.

THE CHAIN GANG.

The chain gang is doing some good
work up on the Kings Mountain road
now. Within the past few weeks, the
county board has purchased a good
pair of mules, secured the use Of a
crusher, and made other improvements
in the effectiveness of the convict force.
Portions of the road that have long
been we'll nigh impossible in winter,
have been properly drained. graded and
macadamized. The work is being done
in most thorough manner and seems to
be permanent.
With two or four mules, the road
machine that was recently purchased by
the county could be used with splendid
advantage. The expenses of the road
force, however, are already very heavy
in proportion to the revenues available,
and the county board seems to be disposed
not to undertake any more than can be
conveniently carried out.
How long the force will remain in the
vicinity where it is now working, or
where it will 90 next, are unsettled ques-
tions. The members of the county board
are being besieged with requests and sug-
gestions from every quarter, and interest
in the work is undoubtedly growing.
None of the members have any opinions
to give out as to what will be done next.
They will probably just wait until the
matter comes up, and then adopt the re-
commentator of the committee in charge
of the chain gang.

pupils living in one school district could
properly be enrolled and counted in favor
of school that they might attend in
another school district. There was an
opinion that it would be best to require
pupils to attend the schools in their own
district; but, on account of the numerous
circumstances affecting such cases, it was
generally thought best to leave the matter
to the discretion of the trustees.
There being no further business, the
meeting indulged in All informal dis
cussion of matters in general, and then
adjourned, after having been in session
for something over two hours.

- There is always some way to evade the
law, and even the constitution. The
constitution provides that no man shall
hold two Offices at one time. After
being elected to the legislature, Judge
Townsend was appointed assistant attor-
ney general. He has neglected to resign
his seat in the legislature. A few days
ago, a member suggested that the legality
of the matter be looked into. 1t develop
ed that some time ago Judge Townsend
had handed in his resignation as assist
ant attorney general, with the under
standing that he would continue to per-
form the duties of the office without com
pensation, and his successor has not been
appointed. In the meantime, he holds his
seat in the house, and the presumption is
that after the session adjourns, he will
probably resign, resume his duties as as
sistant attorney general, and continue the
drawing Of his salary. Probably there is
nothing wrong about the matter; but it
looks very much like an evasion of the
constitution, and if so, it is not especially
creditable to Judge Townsend.
