Primitive ARTILLERY.

AS to the character of the first instru-
ment for the throwing Of missiles and
just when it was invented we have no
certain knowledge, but 1t must have
been at an early date, for we read in
Genesis <, 9, that "Nimrod was q
mighty hunter before the Lord" and
surely the skill that has kept his name
in remembrance for thousands Of years
must have been gained by the use of
some, surer weapon than the clubs or
stone knives Of primitive man. IL
Without doubt man early learned
how much execution can be done by q
we'll aimed stone, and attempts to hurl
it with greater force and. accuracy
probably led to the invention of the
sling, one Of the simplest 10 we'll as
most formidable Of these. early weapons
It vas long one Of the principal instru-
ments of war among the ancients, and
the story Of David, and Goliath is q good
illustration Of what could be- done by
one skilled in its use. This skill, how
ever, could be acquired only by early
and careful training.

Several pictures stand out with pecul-

bride, but before it came home she was
dead, and her husband had gone to the
wars.
When he came back, he never had the
courage to open the case which con.
tanned his young wife's portrait. On bis
death, many long years after it was
painted. it was opened by his heirs,
and inside the case was the little white
slipper she had left with the painter tc

The portrait was given to the Edin'

IS II "MANIfEsI DESIINY,,3

The Portland Orcgonian says: "Politi-
cal suffrage forwomen is a slowly-dying
cause"
The advocates of equal rights point out
that within the past five years, three
States of the Union have extended full
suffrage to women They recall the fact
that sixty years ago women could not
vote anywhere, and they outline the
gains of the movement as follows.
In 1888, Kentucky gave school suffrage
to widows. In 1861. Kansas gave it to
all women. In 1860, England gave mu-
nicipal suffrage to single women and
widows, and Wyoming gave full suffrage
to all women School suffrage was grant
ed in 1875 by Michigan and Minnesota,
in 1876 by Colorado, in 1873 by New
Hampshire and Oregon, in 1879 by Mas
sachusetts. in 1880 by New York and
Vermont. In 1881 municipal suffrage
was extended to the single ome and
widows of Scotland. Nebraska gave
school Suffrage in 1883, and Wisconsin
in 1885. In 1885 school suffrage was
given in Washington, and municipal
suffrage to single women and widows in
New Brunswick and Ontario. In 1887,
municipal suffrage was extended to all.
women in Kansas, and school suffrage in
North and South Dakota, Montana, Ari-
iona, and New Jersey. In the same year,
Montana gave tax-paying women the
right tosvote upon all questions submit
ted to the taxpayers. In 1880, munich
pal suffrage was extended to single VIC.
men and widows in the province of Que
bee. In l8oI,7 school suffrage was
granted in Illinois. In 1893, school suf-
rage was granted in Connecticut and full
suffrage in Colorado and New Zealand. In
1894, school suffrage was granted in
Ohio, bond suffrage in Iowa, and Parish
and district suffrage in England to wo-
men both married and SINGLE. In 1895,
full suffrage was granted in Australia to
women both married and single. In
1896, full suffrage was granted in Utah
and Idaho. In 1893, the single women
and widows of Ireland have been, given
the right to vote for all officers except
members of Parliament; the women of
Minnesota have been given the right to
vote for members of library boards, and
the tax-paying women of Louisiana have
been given the right to vote on all ques.
tons submitted to taxpayers.
The suffragists claim that manifest
destiny" is on. their side; and to a consid-
cradle extent facts seem to bear them
out. 4
