BISHOP SIMPSON ON WOMAN
SUFFRA

At meeting of Methodists respect
ing Lay Representation in the Church,
Bishop Simpson, among other things,
referred thus to woman suffrage:
Additional interest has been excited
by asking the vote Of the women also.
We seem to be realizing the apostolic
declaration, "There is neither Jew
nor Greek. there is neither bond nor
free. there is neither male nor female;
for We are all one in Christ Jesus.'
Whatever may have been the de-
sign, this vote is opening new era.
1t may have been supposed that as
women had never been called upon to
vote they would naturally oppose a
change. So, doubtless, the opponents
reasoned. But they forgot that in
woman's bosom there glows an in
stinct for liberty, and in every strug-
gle for freedom she has been the
friend of the lonely and the suffering.
Will she not read in this the dawning
of brighter day for herself? The
more civil freedom has prevailed the
in America the loftiest position, be-
cause we have the greatest liberty for
the masses. And in the church is it
not so? VIII not every extension of
freedom elevate her? Be that as it
may, she will read and study. APP
pealed to at once, why shall she not
be spoken to again? She will learn
that the ballot in her hand is as po-
tent as in the hands Of giant. If
called upon to decide great questions
of Church economy, why may she not
in others? You are training her for
the ballot.
A new day is coming. Gracefully as
she stepped in the aisles Of your hos
pitfalls when ministering as an angel Of
mercy to our dying soldiers, she may
approach the ballot box and drop
from her fair fingers the slip Of paper
which shall fall silently as the snow
fake upon the earth. But open that
box, and the noiseless slip shall sound
as loudly through the world as'though
it had been cast by the hand Of pol
itician, or the hero Of hundred bat
ties. 1t is moral power against brute
power, and the day may como when
amidst the fierceIstorm Of passion and
the tempests Of vice woman's voice
may be heard in whispers, but in pow
er, peace, be still, Hope that on this
first ballot she may speak wisely and
we'll for the elevation of humanity.
Nor is this measure opposed in any
way to the ministry. Many of our
ablest ministers have gone nobly for
ward.

The business man does not waste
much time in denouncing intoxicants,
and none in threatening those who in
dulge in them; he simply says: eff
you drink you cannot work for me-"
This ultimatum has now been formu
lated by most of the great railways,
other corporations are repeating it
one after another, and private employ
ers, commercial and professional, are
fast joining in the enforcement Of this
great boycott against drunkards. The
effects of the movement are to be seen
in every line of industry. Now what
ever may be said about other sorts of

Use Of Potatoes.

Old potatoes should never be pared
before cool .ng. The most nutritious
portion Of the potato lies Immediately
under the skin, and this is generally all
pared away. A small slice should first
be cut from each end. This lets the wa
ter out, and the potatoes are then put
into cold water and allowed to heat
slowly. They should boil as slowly as
possible until done. There are variety
of ways of warming over cold potatoes,
and nearly all good and economical.
Never throw away a cold potato, but
cut it in thin slices and lay it in a bowl,
with few slices Of onions, a little pep
per, salt ard vinegar, a teaspoonful of
oil, and you have a relishing salad for
lunch. The best way to cook sweet po-
tatoes is to chip off piece of each end
and roast in the oven. They should
never be boiled. They are very nice
stewed. IF any are left over, they make
a nice breakfast dish if sliced length
wise and fried on the griddle.

In ancient times people had one
name only, as Adam or David, and in
order to distinguish persons of the
same name it was the custom to affix
the description ''son of Isaac or ia
cob, as the case might be. Thus we
get Solomon ben David among the
Hebrews, and Evan ap Richard among
the Welsh, to quote two examples.
Although the argument that those
names were not strictly ''forenames"
is not within weight, yet it is reason
able to accept them as such, seeing
that the appellation had to be supple
mented by another for the sake of
distinctions; we are, therefore, entitled
to include them within the scope of
the question.
Adam and other early Biblical names
are regarded as the Oldest for obvious
reasons; but excluding these, the
choice falls npon Marmaduke, which
is the modern rendering of the ancient
Chaldean Maruduk and Merodach, the
god who interceded constantly be-
tween the angry Ea and the humble
Daminka, his father and mother. The
Romans used both forepames and
family names, and of the former, two
that date back about $500 years, are
still with US, namely Marcus and Lu-
cius, represented in modern tongues
by Mark and the feminine Lucy. The
old form EEMarcus1 is still retained in
some families.

THE HOUSEHOLD.
a Well Organized Storeroom-A Pretty
Scresn-The Use Of
Potatoes.

Every housekeeper should have q
small closet for her stores If she has not
a regular stOrerOom. Groceries should
always be bought in quantities, if pos
sible, on account of the economy. At
certain seasons Of the year some articles
may be bought more cheaply than at
others, and advantage should be taken
Of any fall in the market.
A book should be kept in the store
room i'll which to enter the date Of pur
chase and price paid.
The storeroom should be very dry and
furnished with drawers, shelves and
nails, with few little nets suspended
from them in which to hang lemons. It
should also contain earthenware jars
for sugar and tins for tea, coffee and
biscuits The tins in which biscuits are
purchased should always be saved for
such purposes. Jams, pickles and pre-
serves should be kept in the coolest part
of the closet or storeroom.
Coffee is one of the few articles
which should not be bought in large
quantity, because it soon loses its favor.
Loaf sugar should be very white,
close, heavy and glittering. 1t is econo-
my to buy the best, as the more refined
the sugar the less the quantity required
for sweetening. GRADUATED sugar
should also be fine.
Soap should be bought by the guam
tity for cheapness and kept long before
it is used. 1t should be cut into pieces
Of suitable size and put into a drawer
to slowly dry and harden. If it dries
too quickly, it will be brittle. By soft
ening the witter with soda a saving in
soap will be secured.
Starch should be left in warm, dry
place, as Should be salt. Rice, tapioca
and sage should be kept closely covered,
or insects may get into them. It is bet
ter not to have large supplies of these
articles.
Buy lemons in June or July when
they are freshly imported and hang
them in separate nets, for if they touch
they will spoil. Onions, shallots and
garlic should be hung in ropes from q
ceiling, but not in the storeroom; herbs
should be dry and hung in paper bags.
When oranges or lemons are squeezed
for juice, chop the peel, put it in small
jars and tie down for use Vegetables
will keep best on q stone floor out of
the air.
Take care that butter is kept in cool
place and covered from the air. In
summer get some saltpeter, dissolve it
in cold water and stand the butter crock
in it so that the water may reach well
up the sides. Cover it with wet cloth,
the ends of which, resting in the salt
peter water, will keep it constantly
moist This is almost as good as icing
the butter.
Milk should be kept in scrupulously
clean vessels. Stale and fresh milk
should never be mixed, as the result
will be all stale.

In an English dockyard a great ship
was to be launched. An immense
crowd gathered to see it glide down
the slides that were to carry it into
the water. The blocks and wedges
were knocked away; but the massive
ship did not stir. Just then a little
boy ran forward and began to push
the ship with all his might. The
crowd broke out into laugh; but it
so happened that the vessel was al
most ready to move; the few pounds
pushed by the boy were only needed
TO start it, and away it went into the
water. Now, that was a little thing,
but you see what it did. Oftentimes
the little things you do don't seem of
much account. But they are. One
spring morning little boy planted
single seed in a bank of earth. 1t
grew, budded, and blossomed into
sweet blue violets unseen by the child
planter. 1t also seeded, and the seed
fell out upon the bank of earth, and
next spring more violets grew; and
so for years, increasing every season.
The boy, grown a man in foreign
land, desired to visit his childhood's
home. When he saw the bank of vio-
let's he remembered how, years before,
he had planted there a single seed.
"can it be- he said, "that all these
have sprung from the single seed
planted? I will never waste a single
seed" Oh, remember the Importance
of little th1ngs

Religion is growing very practical.
1t is hardly sufficient to say, believe
upon Jesus; the question is, how do
we believe upon Him? We read,
whether we eat or drink, Or whatever
we do, we must do all to the glory of
God. Is there among other things
Christian table?
We answer, yes, and it is table on
which is found nothing which Isl inju
rious to the partaker; simply that.
An old writer says when he looks
upon the usual table, he sees fevers
and govt stalking among the dishes.
If he did not see them, the feasters
would certainly feel them very soon.
To put away unfit food is no mar
trydom, but only common sense. The
plain things taste the best, satisfy the
best, and leave no sting behind them.
But Christian woman will fill her
table with a mass Of indigestible
things, and then insist on grace being
said over them.
Among every day methods Of bring
ing the better time, this is one of the
simplest; let Christian won en- re-
solve that not another unwholesome
thing shall appear upon their tables.
They will find that there. is an album
dance Of viands that are as good as
they are healthful. We would have a
different race, if only simple, whole
some food was used by our people.
Will the Christian woman who passes
SO sweetly a cake compounded of in
digestible things, with the word cit
won't hurt you, it is very SIMPLE"
just swallow that lie so to speak, and
devote little time to finding out how
many really good things are abso-
lutely harmless, and spreading these
upon her board. Then let her ask
blessing on the meal.-Church Union.

SLOP FOR THE PIGS.
II In Quite q Neat job to Prepare II
oufclxly and In the Proper
PropOrtiOna

Feed for winter pigs should be I'm tho
form of shop. House Stops are encel-
lent. The best preparation for siop
from the ordinary feed Is a mixture OF
ground corn, oats and linseed meal.
Grind two bushels Of corn with one of
oats and add 20 pounds of linseed meal
for every $50 pounds of the mixture Of
corn and oats. Soak the mixture a.
long as possible without souring. It In
. mistake to feed haif-soalked feed.
The object of soaking feed Is to make
1t more palatable and digestible.
Grinding the feed is an initiation OF
masttcation, therefore, the finer It II
ground the better the imita ton, and
soaking the feed Is an imitation Of d.
gestion. The soaked feed should not
b SO thick as to be lumpy, neither
should IT be thin enough to be watery.
Z should not be so watery that water
WIN gather on the top Of painful
after standing awhile; nor so thick az

much OF the success in It's use depends
upon It's proper preparation Uean
trougha, regularity In feeding and
plenty OF trough room are things very
essentialto successful pig feeding. We
have been able to produce TIA pounds
OF growth for every equivalent of q
bushel of corn, by following the above
methods. This, of course, cannot be
done with the runty pig.-D. A. Kent,
