when Women First Voted.

1t is not generally known fact that
the first place in this country where wom-
Ell were permitted to vote was at Newark,
N. j. This occurred in 1907, and the
Philadelphia Times thinks that, If the
facts chronicled in Gordon's History and
Chronicles of New Jersey" be true, that
experiment would not lead pessimist to
believe in woman's efficacy as an agent to
purify the ballot. Here Is what he says
about that famous event: IAN election in
1907, for determining the location of the
courthouse, Is still remembered by the in
habitants as the most exciting recorded
I'm their annals. The contest was between
Newark and Days Hill. BY construction
Given to the state constitution, the women
were then suffered to vote, and they seem
to have been so delighted with this privi-
lege of exercising their wills that they were
unwilling to circumscribe twithin the
legal limit, many ladies voting, we are
told, seven or eight times under various
DISC uises"

WORLDS BIGGEST GUN.
To He Constructed ut Watervliet Arsenal
Next January.

To BE Constructed ut Watervliee Arsenal
Next January.
It Is expected that the construction OF
the largest gun which has ever been man
ufactured in the world will be commenced
the fore part Of next month at the Water
vliet arsenal. It is expected that the work
will be completed about June, 1899. The
manufacture of the massive piece will be
under the personal supervision of Master
Mechanic Alfred Christensen, who is con
sidered the greatest expert In the world at
gunmaking.
The gun when completed will weigh 1876
tons and will be manufactured OF fluid
compressed steel The caliber Of the Krupp
gun which was exhibited at the World 5
fair, Chicago, was 1854 inches and was
40. 9 in length, while Uncle Sans new
weapon will exceed the weight of the
Krupp gun about "a tons. The new gun
will throw projectile weighing 90 pounds
more than its German contemporary, and
its range will be considerably greater
In the manufacture of the large seacoast
defence rifles In the past considerable
trouble has been experienced owing to the
tendency of the guns to "droop' at the
muzzle owing to the enormous weight
1t Is thought, however, that this has been
overcome as the number OF hoops which
will be used in the manufacture of the gun
has been materially reduced, and the ut
most care will be exercised in the shrink
ing of the different parts of the rifles
The forgings i'm the rough will weigh
$40, 600 pounds, but when in finished
state they will weigh ESQ, 900 pounds The
forgings will cost about 20 cents pei
pound. Albany Argus.

A visitor, while waiting for the lady of

The Curtain Habit.

"There is just ono thing that makes me

to Cleveland Plain Dealer reporter, land
that is the fact that it has given my wife
the curtain habit. What is the curtain
habit? Well, if you were married man
you would know. It's the habit of taking
down and putting up lace curtains. l
come home Mt night and pretty soon my
wife says: We'll, I've got to take down
those curtains again. They're not fit to
be seen, and we can't have soul in the
house until they are clean What's the
matter with them? l feebly ask. Mat

gets in everywhere. / never saw anything
like it, The next day my wife has the
curtains down and on tho frames or else
pinned on the floor. The next day she Is
almost dead with fatigue brought on 10y
putting them up again. And that's the
way it goes on. Every few weeks the cur
tains come down and go up, and my wife
proans with the exertion and home Is far
from sunny. Talk about Caudle's curtain
lectures; they are nothing compared with
the domestic curtain habit"

had given up all thought of doing any
thing in life but jump from one sharp
bowlder to another when, as we suddenly
rounded crag, Vigdal stopped again, and
turning to the left entered q door that
seemed to go into the rock. 1t was soil
tary saeter, or stone hut, standing in the
lonely valley by itself and quite different
from the club huts we had already seen.
Two hunters, with their wives, live here
during the summer months, the men hunt
ing reindeer and their wives keeping
house. The hut consisted of a few feet OF
earth inclosed by wall of stone 8 feet
thick, 6 feet high and covered by foot OF
earth laid upon boards. Inside PARTITION

nearest the door for cows, dogs and kettles,
and the other, with the earth for carpet,

The room was now quite as full, not as

| ed, and supper being over Vigdal asked us
| II we did not want to get of our wet
clothes and go to bed. We glanced at the
| two women, but Vigdal did not seem to
! see anything unusual In their presence
| and forthwith began TO unuresS. ne huhe
his outer clothing by the fire and then got
| into one of the beds with his wet under
clothes on. Even the presence OF the two
| women could not force us to do this, and
after looking inquiringly at our guide
| again we gathered ourselves into corner
| and prepared for bed, with some doubts
| as to the conventionalities of Norway.
We might have spared ourselves the
| worry. The women took not the slightest
| notice of us, but went on clearing away
the supper and washing the dishes. When
VIE werc Sc hci, they took our clothes and
calmly hung them one by one in semi
circle before the fire. Whether the women
were going to spend the night in the hut
or not did not now seem SO important al
affair as the solution of where they were
| to sleep. But this was soon settled when
| Vigdal, on being anxiously questioned,
said that they were going mile or two
up the valley to another hut. And oul
