RHEUMATISM
SOUTHERN WOMEN VOTED.

| If They Owned Property and Were Tn
married. They Could Vote.
Kentucky. which in 1876 made
voters of widows and spinsters who
were holders of real estate. only fol-
! lowed the footsteps of Maryland,
which had done the same thing 80
years before Ihave not the authori-
ties at hand which would enable me
TO give exact dates, but about the
year 1890 unmarried women who
were holders of real estate TO a given
amount were entitled to vote, and
did very generally exercise the right
of franchise.
In colonial days the states of the
south generally made the ownership
of property a requisite TO the exer-
else of the right of franchise. while
the New England colonies generally
made church membership a neces-
sary qualification of the voter Fol-
lowing the idea that only property
holders should vote, it was natural
step to conclude that all property
holders should vote. Mary land.
therefore, decided that where the
ownership of property was vested in
woman who had not a husband to
represent her she should be a voter.
l have many times heard my
grandmother tell of voting during
the days of her widowhood and de
scribe the manner of exercising the
franchise in those days. There was
but one voting place in the county,
and all the voters were required to
go to the county town TO cast their
votes. She lived in the county of
Talbot, and the voting place for the
entire county was Easton, the coun
ty seat. There was no casting of a
ballot, nor was the system like the
viva voce vote which prevailed in
Kentucky until a few years ago, but
the candidates for office sat in the
election room, and each voter was
expected to look them over and SO
lect the one for whom he or she de-
sired to vote. and the clerks made a
record of the decision. Candidates
for state offices were expected to
have representatives in each county.
These were leading people of the
party = which the candidates be-
longed, and each one was expected
to be well qualified to discuss the
merits of the candidate no represent
ed In those days the elections last
ed four days in order to give ample
time for every one to get to the vot
ing place. Some time late in the
forties the spirit of pr ogress required
sweeping away of the barriers
which the property qualification had
set up, and constitutional conven
ton decided in favor of giving the
ballot to every white male voter
who had reached the age of 81 years.
As the right of a woman to vote was
based on the idea of property quail
fication when that was swept away
she lost the ballot.
l merely recall this fact to show
that Mary land, which was the first
colony to guarantee religious liberty |
to all her people and which took the |
first steps toward securing the pres
ent constitution of the United States, |
was also the first to give the ballot |
to woman.-Boston Transcript.

WATER AS A MEDICINE.
How to Use Natures Great Remedy TO
Secure Best Results.

How many people realize the medici.
nal value of water, asks Dr. J. F..
Whitmeyer in the New York Tribune.
1t is safe to assert that the number
who really appreciate the value of wa.
ter as medicine are few in this or any
other town. Yet if people devoted more
time and reason to the use OF nature
great remedy and less time in dosing
themselves with all sorts of compounds
for real and imaginary ailments it would
not be long before this country would
see finer and healthier lot of people
generally.
Now, for the sake of illustrating the
beneficial effect of water, take {. child
who will not go TO sleep, undress him
and give h i'm "A good, warm bath, pat
him dry and bundle him up for the
night. The soothing and quieting effect
of the bath will become apparent long
before he is ready fer the crib. and IN
less he IS suffering from an alinent of
some kind he will probably be asleep as
soon as his head touches the pillow.
A celebrated specialist on diseases Of
the skin once remarked, IF people
would use more water i'll a systematic
manner, both internally and externally,
it would be necessary for me to take up
another branch of medicine, as there
would be little or no skin disease to
treat.
The systematic use Of water as an in
ternal medicine is of great value, par.
ticularly so TO persons who are subject
to disturbances Of the stomach and Other
portions of the alimentary tract.
A gobletful or two of water at mod
crate temperature when taken at night
before retiring ana the same quantity
of hot wafer taken an hour before break
fast will go far toward maintaining a
good state of health. This applies par
ticularly to persons who are subject &c
gastric disturbances due to indigestion
Insomnia is an ailment in which the
effect of water is usually beneficial. Az
a result of the constant rush and the
rapid mode of existence in large cities
people who are inclined to be nervouf
suffer through their inability to sleep
A hot foot bath or a general tub bath
taken just before retiring frequently
works wonders in these cases.
When there is reason to suspect that
water is contaminated. it may be rem
dered fit for use by sterilization-that
is, by boiling for a few minutes. The
degree of heat required to boil the wa
ter is sufficient to destroy the life of any
micro organisms that the fluid may con

PENNY WISE


CAasee In the Money Using Habits OF tbs
People
Americans of the class who go &c
Europe take note that in Germany q
coin is used called pfennig and
worth q quarter Of cent and that
in France confines are in use, which
| are current at one-fifth of a cent.
This practice of using money in such
! minute divisions excites the con-
| tempt of Americans, which is, how
ever, returned by the Germans and
French and is expressed freely at the
| foolish and wasteful Americans
who. in their own country, make no
use of any coin less than a cent.
And yet there Is change gradual
ly extending over the United States
in what may be called the money
using habits of the people. There
was time within the remembrance
of western and southern Americans,
before United States silver coin was
in general circulation in the Missis-
sippi valley, when the picayune, a
Spanish coin worth when in good
condition 81 cents and when worn
smooth 5 cents, was the smallest
coin in use From the picayune
came the word picayunish, signify
ing a small, mean, penurious ma
ture. In New England, where the
people SO divided the dollar as to
create many fractions and continued
to speak of shillings, pence and half

England, acopper coinage was main.
tanned, and people contended for the
odd cents and even half cents due
them in making change from, the
earliest ages, but beginning west of
the Hudson there was until a com
paratively recent period an absence
of copper coins, nothing for sale at
less than 5 cents and a general dis
position to speak lightly of even 5
cent transactions.
This has, within the present gen.
GRAFTON, greatly changed. The nickel
has come to stay, and cents are ev
erywhere in circulation. The gov
eminent set an example in first re-
ducing letter postage to cents and
later to cents. The proud, naughty
and lavish American found himself
compelled to deal in coins less than
S cents. The cheapening of postage
led to the selling of many articles
Of common use, such as newspapers,
at less than 5 cents, and whatever
sacrifice of pride il may have cost, |
the average American found himself
buying these things at the reduced
prices and dealing in nickels and |
pennies. 1t was a come down, but |
it came
1t should be remem bered that !
these so called dealings were not the
result of decreasing wealth in the /
country, since the supply of money |
in the country has been steadily in
creasing for many years, but were
the effect of increasing sense. The
massive and yet acute intellect of
the American has grasped the fact
that there Is no reason why he
should buy more of a given article
than he needs or pay for it twice az
much as is asked. Slowly the most
intelligent and best educated inhab-
liant of the earth has surrounded
the operation of buying a cents
worth of something, if that IS what
he needs. and paying cent for it.
With the increased use of small.r
change has come the practice of buy
ing and selling most things at once
unheaDl of prices. The vord cheap,

Took an Unfair Advantage.

Down in Clarion county, Pa, there
used to live man named Major
Green, who had a half brother
named John Green. Each spent the
greater part of his life in thinking
up jokes to play off on the other,
and when John Green died the score
was thought to be about even.
A plain stone was erected over
Johns grave by his family, and on
it beneath his name and the dates Of
his birth and death was carved this
simple inscription:
He lived blameless life.
But after it had remained that
way for week or two somebody
added, Until the year before he
died, when he learned to play the
accordion"
Major Green passed to the great
beyond few months later, and it is
generally thought by people who
knew them that he had the last
laugh on John when they met on
the other side Leader.

Educated Paupers.

An indication of the progress Of
classical learning among the masses
was afforded few days since when
an inmate of an east end workhouse
called upon a bookseller to ask
whether he had any knowledge of

as to why such an inquiry should be
made the pauper said: We'll, our
