Signs of Progress.

The National Temperance Society, un-
der the leadership of Hon. Joshna Bailey,
Rev. DIR. Dunn, and our friend, John M.
Cummings, who visits annually our nation
al convention, has recently put the names
of women on the list of it's presidents,
and at the recent national convention,
held in Saratoga, N. Y, it declared for
women's ballot as help in securing pro-
hibitiOn, and also took higher ground
than ever before, in resolving that no
party should be supported that did not
declare for prohibition.
The Catholic Total Abstinence Union
is composed of 312 societies, with a mem
bership of over seventy-five thousand. It
is constantly increasing in numbers and
influence, and admits women to some of
its leading offices. Under its influence, a
Catholic Temperance Society of women is
being organized, the movement being led
by Mrs. Leonora M. Lake, our gifted
white ribbon comrade.
Those who think that no legal progress
is being made should notice the action of
our legislators at the last session. Illi-
nois has passed police matron bill to
apply to cities of over 10000 inhabitants,
also a stringent temperance education
bill. Minnesota passed a bill prohibiting
the admission of anyone under the age of
| twenty-one to dance houses, concert halls,
or any place where Intoxicating liquor is
sold or given away. The Iowa legislature
has made liquor bills uncollectible.
Tennessee, Massachusetts, Kentucky,
| Connecticut and Indiana have passed
strong anti-cigarette bills. In the new
state of Washington an anti-vivisection
law has passed, the legal age of consent
has been raised from the age of twelve to
eighteen years, and a suffrage amend
ment is submitted to the voters for the
November election of 1898.
Missouri supreme court has decided
that women may hold any Office from
which they are not debarred by the state
constitution.
Nebraska and South Dakota have
law, whereby legislation may originate di
rectly from the people, or be referred tc
them after its enactment for their vote OF
approval. Amendments to the constitu
tion whereby women will become voters
have been submitted to the voters Of New
York, Washington and South Dakota.
The legislature of Massachusetts, hal
passed bill to prevent the sale of intoxi
cants inl public parks and pleaeur
grounds. Massachusetts has also forbid
den the transportation of liquors into no
license cities and towns and the solicitin,
of sales therein. This state can only hav
: one saloon to every thousand inhabitante
The supreme court of Massachusetts ha
decided that the dispensing of beer fre

CLEAN PARIS KITCHENS.
No Ashes or Garbage There, Says Lecture



No Ashes or Garbage There, Says Lecturer
Clarence Cook.
What becomes of the ashes and gar
bage in Paris was a question raised and
partially answered by Clarence Cook in
an address delivered at the regular meet
ing of the League For Political Educa-
ton on Little Housekeeping In Paris. "
The Paris which Mr. Cook talked
about was that of some % years ago,
when the differences in domestic life in
that city and this were much greater
than at present. Since then New York
has adopted the fiat system in all its de-
tails, but there were still differences,
chief among which was the handling of
garbage and ashes In the apartments
which Mr.. Cook occupied in Paris, and
which he described as being delightful
ly situated, though "on the wrong side
of the Seine, " according to the ideas of
fashionable friend of his in the Amer
ican colony, there were no ashes that he
could see. The stove consisted of an iron
top, with six circular holes in it. When
ever anything was to be cooked an iron
basket of charcoal was put into one Of
these holes, and the food placed over it.
When the charcoal was burned, what
was left fell through the basket and dis
appeared.
In the way of food everything came
to the apartment fully prepared for
cooking. In a mutton chop there was
nothing but meat and bone, and when
the meat had been eaten the bone was
deposited ON the charcoal fire Potatoes
were bought already peeled, carrots
without their green tops and all green
vegetables without any of the superfu-
| Gus outer leaves or husks or skins which
would 60 to make up garbage. All Of
this cleaning and peeling was done at
the markets, and the resulting material
was saved in a clean condition. Even
coffee grounds, Mr.. Cook said, were
used after leaving the fiat.
No one in Paris ever bought enough
of anything to be left over, and no one
was ashamed to ask the dealer for a sin.
| gle mutton chop or a small portion OF
any article Of food. If there were any
garbage or ashes in Paris, Mr.. Cook
said, no one ever saw either of them,
which was certainly different from the
experience of a New York woman he
told of, who after a years residence in
the city wrote to a friend that life in the
metropolis meant the taking care Of al
