The First Woman Suffragist

Writing in Harper's Magazine of tn
neglected records of the life of Mis-
tress Margaret Brent, the earliest
American woman to demand the right
of suffrage, Caroline Sherman Bense-
mer says:
"When on the oath of June, the as
sembly of 1647-S was in session, donbt-
less occupied with discussing the af-
fairs of the province, their rights as
freemen, etc, they were startled by
the appearance of Mistress Margaret
Brent upon the scene, who demanded
both voice and vote for herself in the
assembly by virtue OF her position as
Gov. Calvert's attorney. Alas for
Mistress Brent and her appreciation of
the rights of her sex. The governor
promptly and ungallantly refused her
The Injured lady, rs her only means of
retaliation, protested against all the
acts of the session as invalid, unless
her vote was received as we'll as the
votes of the male members.
"By this action Margaret Brent I'M
doubleday placed herself on record as
the first woman in America to make q
stand for the rights of her sex. 1t is
surprising to find how little this fact is
known. In SO comprehensive and
tory of womsn's suffrage edited by
Susar B. Anthony no mention is make
of,this extraordinary woman. In fact,
it is there stated that a revolutionary
dame, Mrs. Abigail Smith Adams,
wife of John Adams, of Massachusetts,,
was the first champion of woman's
rights in America. In March, 1776,
Mistress Adams wrote to her husband,
then at the Continental congress in
Philadelphis: L long to hear that
YOU have declared for INDEPENDENCE,

bit of water to the pulp and squeeze

POINTERS FOR COOKS.
Army Orders Are Full of Good Hints
For Housewives

A Washiugto letter to the Globe
Democrat says: Instructions to be
placed in the hands of the new army
cooks will contain many little hints
which will prove invaluable if cut out
and pasted upon any housewives kit
chen wall. They are fruits of years
and years OF experience in all fields of
culinary art, especially military cook
cry. 1t is emphasized, for instance,
that frying is the least wholesome of
all methods of cooking. Fish are fresh
only when eyes are clear, fins stiff and
gills red and hard to open. Frozen
meat of any kind must be thawed in
cold water before cooking. Before be-
ing put in a refrigerator meat must be
covered with a clean cloth, never with
paper. 1t must never be in direct con-
tact with the ice. Vinegar added to
water for boiling makes tough meat
tender. Poultry should never be cook
ed until twelve or fourteen hours after
killing. Peas and beans are the most
nutritious of vegetables. containing as
much carbon as wheat and almost
double the amount of muscle-forming
food. Spinach and dandelion leaves
are excellent for the kidneys. Aspar-
agus purges the blood. Celery
strengthens the nervous system and is
q cure for rheumatism and neuralgia.
Tomatoes act upon the liver. Beets
and turnips are excellent sppetizers.
Lettuce and cucumbers cool the system
in hot weather. Onions, garlic, leeks,
olives and shallots stimulate the circu-
lation, increase the saliva and gastric
juices and promote digestion. Red
onions are excellent diuretics. Raw
white opinions cure insomnia.
The army cooks will also be taught
that onions peeled under the water do
not disturb the eyes. That small
pinch of carbonate of ammonia in the
water for boiling preserves the color
of vegetables and prevents the odor of
cabbage. A little baking soda similar
ly used freshens vegetables and makes

Cotton Stuffs Take The Lead.

Dressmakers are commenting upon
the number of cotton frocks that are
ordered this summer Never before,
thew say, have other and more elegant
materials been so thrust aside and
King Cotton's sway been so general,
or the designs for cotton frocks go ella
borate.
Upon the dressiest of summer time
occasions the ton frock appears. I
cannot speak of it as the washable
frock, for quite often it is made up
without regard to the simplicity that is
necessary to bear contact with the
most ordinary method of cleaning. Of
ten when the cotton frOck needs clean

ties of receiving diseased meat. Beef
is not regarded as fresh unless the
lean, when freshly cut, is bright red,

The same tests are applied to mutton,
