woman has not been accorded hiUk
place In scientific achievement, as 5
rule, yet she, undeniably, has accom-
plished much In a quiet way, In vari-
GUS directions. Her work In Sanitation
was the subject Of a recent talk with
Mrs. H. M. Plunkett. who points out
that some of the most important re-
forms in this branch of science have
been set on foot by women. A notable
instance is furnished in the introduc-
tion to Europe of the system OF inocu-
laition for smallpox. by Lady Mary
Wortley Montague. who. in lit, went
to live in Turkey, WHITTIER her husband
had been sent as ambassador
Lady Mary noticed that smallpox, al
though not infrequent in dts occurrence
among the Turks, rarely disf1gured its
victims in the frightsul manner COM
mon in England. She had an inquiring
mind, and, like Lord Jite Barnacle's
bette nolr, wanted to know, you know!"
Learning that the Orientals practiced
incubation, a method quite new to her,
but apparently efficacious, she resolved
to test 1t in her own family and. In
spite OF q good deal Of opposition,
caused her little son to be vaccinated.
Later, all her children were submitted
to the operation and when she returned
to England, she did her best to intro
duce the practice there. She succeeded
to a very limited degree. Ut Is true, and
incubation did not become common un-
til sixty years after her death; but un-
doubtedly her teachings had some eff
feet.
For modern instance. Mrs. Plunkett
relates that Philadelphia owes the es-
Establishment of the system Of filtering
water to the efforts of the women OF the
city, who grew tired of the annual visi-
taitions of typhoid fever caused by the
impure drinking water, and absolutely
compelled their male representatives to
vote money enough for the needed re-
form.
In Boston there is a School Of House.

Some are married and putting their
theories into earnest practice. Some

outlook, elevating her ideals OF life
and work and steadily doing their part
in lifting the race to loftier heights.

Stopped Over.

DR.. Mckenzie of New York told an
had more respect for a man who voted
twice than for one who did not vote
at all. What sloppy" statements
great men sometimes make. That
which is intended to be hyperbolcal is
rather diabolical in effect. OF course
Or. Mckenzie didn't intend to say
that he had more respect for "A person
who stole from the suffrage power of
the community than for one who,
while paying his taxes, is nevertheless
culpabe to the extent of neglecting t.
do his whole civic duty. Better keep
away from the ballot box than con-
taminate it but better still see that it is
not contaminated by being present
and watchful. Every man who neg
lects to vote ought. generally speaking,
to be deprived of the ballot.
Another instance approaching the
stopping over was the speech of Hon.
Charles J. Bonaparte of Maryland III
Boston. Sunday, He expressed the
opinion that lynching has a deterrent
effect on crime and expressed Il wish
that the hemp might be applied to hood
lers. The reader unacquainted with
the high character of the man who
made such statements and unable TO
discount the cXaGgcration indulged in
for rhetorical effect could hardly avoid
reaching wong conclusions respect
in@ the address and the real attitude
of the speaker.

Wolcott Ofiiciates at Obsequies.

Considering what he had to talk
about Senator Wolcotts speech on the
work of the bimetallic commission
was an able effort. But sifted and
viewed from all sides it contains little
if amy encouragement for those who
believe in genuine international hi
mctalism. Mr. Wolcott admitted that
none of the members of the commits
sion expected England to relax her
grip on the gold standard but that is
what should be if bimctallsm is t.
succeed. He also minated that had
France and America and India been
able to agree upon ratio it would not
have been that absurd one which GER
tain dcluded people in this land look
upon with as much of awe as even the
sacred elephant ever was regarded

acterizcd the dollar of our daddies.
Mr.. Wolcott wants it distinctly IN

He commended the attitude of tn.
President throughout and criticised
Secretary Gage so severely as to give
rise to the suspicion that some of the
views expressed by that official are
found to be popular With many in the
country.
Mr. Wolcott furthermore said that
the commission had not been in any
way hampercd by restrictions. Our
representatives. abroad had rendered
the commissioners the heartiest sup
port. France had done all that could
be expected. There, he said. the ques
ton of bimetallism was regarded as
strictly an international question.
Evidently the French white mctallis,s
are not bothered with any day dreams
about the United States alone rcsto.-
ing silver 10y free coinage. H." said
the proposition was well received in
England and at first there seemed
but few difficulties in the way III
dia WAS the vital point he said and
her opposition he declares was a great
surprise in England. II" views the
condition in India as inexpIicablc aud
he attributes her recent distress ami
famine to the gold standard.
Mr.. Wolcott summarized the prcscilt
situation by saying that il is apparent
that for the time being it is useless
to count on any cooperation from
Great Britain toward a bimetalli"
agreement. and that while France ac-
lively desires to see silver restored
to its old position as a standard of
value equally with gold, she insists
that the problem is one which d.
mands international action, and the
cooperation to some extent of other
leading commercial nations of the
world. Questions of possible futur"
negotiations between France, the
United States and other countries. and
the question of change of ratio. are
for the moment held in allegiance

ton, France owes no further duty to
