The Ballot and the Nursery.

Home duties" are alleged by most of the indifferent or opposed to woman sui frage as preventing women from taking part in "public affairs" How if it can be shown that "home duties" cannot be properly performed until they are treated as public affairs ?"
 The care of the health, the morals, the education of children, these surely are "home duties." Just as surely do they come under the head of ''pubIic affairs,' because none of them can be maintai ned and improved to the ut most without ad- ministrative power.
 Health is not a private matter. Until the public health is preserved by proper systems of sanitation, by through, honest scientific, well-enforced methods of plumb | ing, sewerage and the destruction of waste matter, including garbage; full and pure water supply; proper ventilation and provision of light and air in all buildings; pure food and wise and full provision for bathing, exercise, etc. until the pub- lie health is thus insured, private health cannot be protected by all the mother love in the world. Mother love cannot detect microbes, but the milk inspector can; and, though we may consider the milk question as "outside the home," remember it is "inside the baby!" The education of our children is pub lie question. Who shall teach them, what they shall be taught, how the teachers shall be trained and paid, how the build ing in which so many youthful years are spent shall be planned furnished, decorat- ed; these things are in the hands of the voters of America.
 As to morals, if any question in life Is a public question, it is that of morals. If the moral status of the community is low the mother may pour out her life like water in the effort to keep her children pure, and fail. When the power of com bined motherhood, acting through the legitimate methods of free government sees to it that the community is as safe and clean as the home, the individua mother may breathe easier about her owl precious ones. No man liveth unto him self nor dieth unto himself ,and no womeI either. The interest we hold nearest tC our hearts, the most personal, tho mos sacred, these of all others most need tn administrative action of our combined in telligence.
 We admit the force of free institution in the more superficial and mechanical matters of life, and leave these vitall, important functions of maternal care t,
 be managed by the feeble and primitive
 methods of unorganized, ungoverned
 private enterprise.
 The best motherhood requires the bal lot to enforce it's will.

The Japanese Do Not Use Opium.

The Japanese, unlike their Chinese neighbors, have @ horror of opium smoking. In Japan it is a crime. pun ishable by heavy fine and long i'm prisonment. It is crime to sell opium or smoking apparatus, and the only places where the drug can be purchased or where person may smoke are on the foreign reservations under the protection of a foreign flag. The opium dens in Yokohama, Kobe, Nagasaki and other cities are all found in the German, French and English concessions, where the Japanese have no jurisdiction. When the Japanese took possession of Formosa, which was ceded by China to Japan as a part of the price of peace, they found a serious problem in the prevalence of opum smoking among the natives and Chinese residents, who are numerous.
 After the trial of various methods the government has finally adopted a rather novel policy to repress and regulate the vice. It requires every opium smo- ker to purchase license from the gov ernment by the payment of 8 fee and permits indulgence in the vice within certain limits of the city, which will result in the colonization of opium smokers. Physicians and druggists alone are permitted to buy and sell the drug, and they are required to take out licenses and pay heavy fees for the priv :ilege. Any violation of this law is pun ished by Imprisonment with hard labor for term not exceeding 15 years or 6 fine not exceeding 5000 yen. In the districts set apart for indulgence in the vice opium smoking houses may be opened for the accommodation of stran- gers or persons who do not care to smoke on their own premises. These houses are subject to strict regulations, and every time they harbor 8 customer who does not have a permit to smoke opium the proprietor Is liable to fine of 5000 yen and imprisonment for Il years-Chicago Record.

As Good as He Gave.

! The Viscountess Sherbrooke, wife of Robert Lowe. was in the habit of say ing whatever came into her mind at the moment. The French ambassador one day said to her somewhat patronizing- ly: "You know, England is said to be land of shopkeepers. I had no idea of finding. there such great military dis plays. /" An, she replied, |" "the-people of different countries do not understand each other, Now, have actually been under the impression that the French were great military nation.''

 There is a good deal of soreness over the ranking of the Grand Army of the Re- the occasion of the Grant monument dedication, by the militia, the public school boys and companies belonging to military schools, SO that the old soldiers had to stand four hours in line before they could fall In. The responsibility for this disposition seems to be fixed on the grand marshal of the procession, Gen. Grenville M. Dodge, who as veteran himself ought to have looked out for the veterans and given them proper honor. He was quoted as saying that he consult ed with T. s. Clarkson, commander-in- chief of the Grand Army, and that the arrangement was in accordance with Clark sons request. But now Clarkson denies 1t in letter to a member of the New York commandery of the Loyal Legion, and he agrees with the Legion that in all military parades in which the Grand Army is expected to take part, it shall be given the right of the line. The old soldiers feel that while the West Point cadets an d the soldiers of the regular army were in place az the escorting column, the volun- teer veterans of the Union should not have been "tacked on the end of the whole thing" This position of the Grand Army is nothing more than their self-re. spect demands. They merited the first place in the honor paid their old general and Grant would not have been pleased with the slight put upon them.-Spring field Repu6licGn.
