Lake Erie have been arrested and
their vessels seized when, as they
supposed and contended, they were

of Lake Erie is extraordinarily i'm
perfect in contour and inaccurate In
dimensions as to all that vast region
lying between the entrance to
Nicarauga river and Point
Pele. 1t appears from a note
thereon that the part west Of
Point Pele and Sandusky, including
all the islands. was reduced from the
actual survey made by order of the
commissioners and separate chart
of the lake westward Of Point Peles
showing the triangulations and duly
signed, is embraced in the Client

under the treaty of Client did not
undertake to define or mark that
part of the boundary between the
ST. Mary's river and the Lake of the
Woods and part of it has never
been charted at all. West of Isle
Royale, in Lake Superior, no re-

or a prophecy" said Mrs. Margaret

men who try to efface wrinkles. A wo.
man has no business to look younger
than she is. There is a history in every
line Of her face"
Had Mrs. Sangster put the question to
vote the majority of the women pres
ent would have deeried her statement
and it Is safe TO say that of all the mill
ions Of women that help to populate the
United States. Mrs. Sangster alone cares
to retain historical wrinkles. The vanity
of women has ever been the source of
condemnation. The existing fact re-
mains. however that it is every wo-
mans duty, according to society, to make
herself pleasing in the eyes of her fell
low-beings. and she should do all in her
power. Mrs. SaugSter to the contrary
to keep the telltale lines of age sorrow
and ill-temper out of her face 1t ia
quite as foolish for a woman to be care
less about her personal appearance as
il is to resort to palpabie cosmetics to
cover up defects. or rather to call atten-
ton TO them. Mrs. Sangsters PROPOSE
ton is Numerically opposed. to the in
structiOns that every woman has reeeiv-
ed from her mother to keep her cares
and unhappy thoughts to herself and to
cultivate serenity OF countenance as wei,
as gentleness Of manner.
Happiness never causes lines. conse-
quently lines that have a history are
caused by anxiety or illness.

Gov. Adams Sends Out Circular
Concerning It

Gov. Adams, of Colorado, has received

that he has prepared a circular letter in
answer, as follows:
when the question was submitted in
Colorado, l supported and voted for the
proposition as "a question of abstract
right, as every fair man mus. admit
when the question comes to him, that a
woman has the same right Of suffrage
as man. In advocating suffrage. YOU

those who will not accept it Upon that
ground will not be persuaded though one
rose, from the dead.
81 will. however, add that not even the
most virulent enemy of woman sIffrag &c
can prove that any harm has coma from
the experiment. The test In Colorado is
still too new to expect unanimous YER

justified in predicting {. higher standard

THE SERVANT, DIGESTION,
The Effect Of the Conditions Which
Surround Her.

1t has been said that there is no situa-
ton in which young girls morals are as
safe as that of a domestic in a priavte
family. This may be true. but from a
close observation one Is led to believe
that there is no place where her reputa-
ton is as unsafe. She is always an object
of suspicion. II an article is missing in
the house where she is employed she is
nearly always adjudged the thief and per-
haps discharged, while sometimes evil
dence of her innocence Is afterward dis
covered. And we often hear of girl
whose honesty Is afterward proved being
taken to jail on a charge of theft pre-
ferred by her mistress. The domestic
must not indulge that love of pleasure
which is so natural to the young. even IL
she should have sufficient leisure time.
The mistress and her daughters may re-
ceive men friends and keep late hours,
but if the servant does so her reputa-
ton is likely to suffer.
These conditions, of course. do not ex-
list in every home of the class mentioned.
But they are common enough to make
domestic service odious to the bright
American girls. 1t is true that house
wives are often imposed upon by indolent,
impertinent and dishonest servants. But
the employers grievances are constantly
dinned into the public ear while the en-
ploye's wrong is scarcely ever voiced.
A great deal of the energy which some
philanthropic people are using for the
purpose of suppressing vice might be
used in striking at the root of the evil
with better results-by making the path
of virtue more attractive. For, as long as
domestics are treated in this way. our
homeless girls will seek employment in
stores and offices at starvation wages,
which in many cases will be supplement-
ed with the wages of sin.
