Partisan Mourning Millinery.

The woman who Is mourning should
find much consolation In the new hats
and bonnets desIg cd for her this
spring. They arc chic and charming
and so becoming that they are sure to
lift many a heavy weight Of woe.
The round hats for young women
are seen in many pretty shapes. They
are trimmed with futed loops OF chif-
fon or crepe and a variety Of black
flowers. Li]acs and carnations are tf1a
favorites. For early spring open-work
brims will be much in vogue. Many of
them are made of braiding and q few
Of heavy escurial lace. A tiny puff
ing Of crepe, studded with a fine jet
bead. makes Il becoming outline for
the brim.
Black ospreys Of dull jetted aIcrettes
will take the place Of feathers on round
hats for light mourning.
The mourning bonnets to be worn
when the veil is taken off are artistic
little affairs. Many Of them consist
merely of 4 broad bow Of crepe. black
chiffon or lustreless silk with a Jet
ornament or buckle caught through
the loop. Beneath the bow black
lilacs or black lilies Of the valley rest
against the hair. Another fanciful
idea for am burning bonnet shows a
pulling Of crepe arranged as coronet,
with a bunch Of black heliotrope, two
or three pansies or full-blown rose
nodding above It,
The black and violet bonnet for sec
Ond mourning is a dream of beauty.
Black velvet or black crepe combined
with naturally colcred heliotrope,
pansies or purple-tInted orchids, or
heliotropc chiffon and black flowers,
form many new and beautiful bonnets.

Women Not Slaves.
EVERETT, Wash. March Is, 1896.

When I think of the Woman's Bible
| am sorry that Elizabeth Cady Stanton
in her old age should have been at the
head OF such movement.
For a woman to admit she is slave is
to admit she is not sensible. If a
woman is slaye 1T Is in nine cases out
of ten her own fault. Any man will
honor a woman who will assert her own
rights. What are her right8-that is the
question. And is it such Il bore after
all to stay at home and care for the
family? How many women, when
brought. right to the point, would per-
fer to do the work of a man?
To be sure, We have the care of the
babies, but instead of our being looked
down on and considered of less impor-
lance than man, | say, God gave to us
the highest honor possible, the training
of our children in His image and to His
honor and glory. How many OF our
great men attribute their greatness to
father Not one in ten.
Such beautiful thing | read not long
since. A young man about to join the
church was being examined. Among
other questions, be was asked under
whose preaching he WAS converted
He replied, Under no ones preaching,
but under Mothers practicing." Does
such a mother need to consider herself
a slave? No, it remains with herself to
decide the question.
We are anything but slaves if We do
our duty IN the place God assigns us
For my part, | consider the man who
has 10 toll day after day for his family
more of a slave than the wife whose
duty it is to care for the home and be a
helpmate to her husband. Elizabeth
Cady Stanton, and any other woman
who tries to make women believe they
are abused are doing an injury to their
race; better teach their fellow sisters to
make the best of their circumstances,
to live such noble lives that they will
ever be remembered for the good they
have done. Such women are not
slaves.
| am the mother of eight children,
three of them babies-tWins twenty-five
months old, and the baby is nine
months old. The twins have been deli
cate until the last two months and do
not walk yet. Most women would call
me slave. j consider myself u queen
with my subjects all about me, and can
honestly say | never knew happier
year than the one just past with my
three babies to care for.
Dear wives and mothers, we are equal
with our husbands its our right to be
and we should see that they understand
it so, but when we want to be more
than equal we are in the wrong For
my part, 1 am content to let husband

The Origin of Point Lace.

A little known example Of inventive
genius In woman Is that afforded by
Barbara Uttman OF SaXony, and her
point lace so long in fashionable use
all over the world. She invented the
process and apparatus for manufacture
Ing this beautiful hnndiwork, which has
since given employment to millions Of
operators, and which, in its line, has
never been excelled. The apparatus
looks like a long pincushion bristlIng
with pins arranged to outline the pat
tern or design. The operator manages
from ten to fifty peculiar spools, al
lowing the thread to feed over the pins
alternately. until the design Is COM
pleted The spoolS or bobbins are pur-
posely of different colors. so as to be
easily distinguishable. The process ia
slow and difficult to learn. Miss UT.

Arc Lamps and Smells.

Recent Investigations confirming cas-

arc light have 2 decided therapeutic
value, and that the naked arc, i. e.,
without glass globe. may be very
useful disinfecting agent in hospital
wards and places where the rays can
be projected directly on the organisms.
Some years ago experiments were
made in this way in the Paris sewers,
with the result that considerable puri-
flying action was noted. DIR. Margaret
Cleates, reporting on these facts, tells
how she once dispersed the odors from
refuse barrels near her office door by
switching on an arc light for half al
hour and going away. When She came
back the atmosphere, which had been
unbcarablc, had become perfectly pure,
although elsewhere in the house, where
the light could not hav. any effect.
the bad smell Of garbage still persisted.

Most of these recipients of public
charity would no doubt repel with
scorn the charge that they are con the
town and yet any one who examines
the situation must so conclude.
The public mind is being more or less
directed nowadays to these Municip
al problems and the question Of City
ownership of water-wOrks, gas, light,
and railway, has become an important
one. In all our reading, however, on
this matter, We have found no one
who has argued for city ownership,
who has not done so from the business
stand point of making the patrons of
the various works pay its bills. The
plan has been for the City to own and
save to the patrons OF the works such
profits as it has been supposed the
private corporations who run them
have made or are making. But in no
case do we hear an advocate of the
Winnebago plant viz: to establish low
rates for few patrons at the expense
of the many who are not patrons. a
city falls into worse hands than d pri-
waite corporation when it goes itself
into business and delivers water, gas,
electric light and telephone messages to
the few at the expense of the many.
Politicians who give franchises to
private corporations for gain, are no
more disreputable than the socalled
best citizens OF a town who rob the
public out OF taxes used for their own
benefit.

DUE TO THE ACTION OF GAS,
Recent Research Throws New Light
on the Causntion of Sleep

on the Causation of sleep.
sleep is one of the greatest puzzles
known TO scientists" said Il physician
to n writer for the New York Evening
Sun. There are. OF course, any num-
Der Of theories regarding it. We know
its invasion is marked by anemia, or
/ bloodlcsSneSS of the brain, using this
term III contradiction to the working
state In which the brain IS abundautly
provided with the vital fluid; but il is
one thing to assert that the brain is
anemlc in slumber and another thing
| to hold or 10 prove that this depression
OF the circulation is the cause of sleep.
| Besides, as has we'll been pointed out,
sleep is not a condition which affects
the brain alone. The whole orSan-
ism is slowed down, and the mcchan-
isms OF life work, for the time being,
al low pressure Lately there has been
revival of an old view of the causa-
ton of sleep. 1t is pointed ont that
certain chemical agents, and especially
certain gases when inhaled may pro-
duce phenomena which closely re-
Semble these of ordinary Slumber OF
course we have ancSthetics-m medicines
best gifts to suffering man-which rob
Us OF Consciousness and tide ~ over the
pains and pangs of life, but these
agents do not exactly correspond in
their effects with the causes of ordi-
nary sleep. In Carbonic acid gas.
which Is 4 natural waste product Of
our frames and which is brcathed out
from our lungs and skin, we may
find hot iS Ofy 3,,c
ing condition closely resembling
the sleep that follows on the toll Of the
day.
TO start with, every body knows
that the sleepy condition-and 1t is
very typical example Of its kind-which
follows our stay in 4 badly ventilated
room Is due to our brea thing into our
blood more than our due share Of
carbonic acid gas. Recent research,
however, would add that these effects
and still more the effects OF after-damp
In mines, are due not so much to the
presence of cArbonic acid gas as to the
want Of oxygen. So that instead Of
carbonic acid gas being considered, as
formerly, as = II ghly dangerous gas,
we are to-day inclined to look upon il
as relatively harmless, even when
breathed in grea ter proportion than was
once regarded as possible without in
jury following on the experiment.
Now comes another Item Of interest
in the theory that our sleep is really due
to the action OF carbonic acid gas. In
sleep the amount Of carbonic acid Civ
en- off the gas in sleep passes into the
blood gives 4 slight increase over the
amount proper to that fluid, and thus
In luces slumber. Slowly but surely
this Increase Is got id OF as sleep
progresses, and wakcfulness super
