A Sioux City, Iowa, Special says
Political equality leaders in this part
OF Iowa will make handle OF the
Spanish war to boom women's rights
legislation. They claim the recollec.
ton Of the good work done by the
women while their male relatives
were in the field makes the men par
ticularly plant to their wishes after
every great war. Numerous historic
cal cases are cited in support OF this
contention. 1t is accordingly argued
that when present hostilities are over
equal rights will be more favorably
looked on than ever before. As the
political equality resolution was lost
in the lower house Of the last Iowa
legislature by only one vote no great
change in opinion will be necessary TO
secure its adoption at the next SEES
sion. Plans are already being map

Care of Young PIGS.

II young pigs have plenty of exer-
else and the right kind OF food there
Is no danger of oycr-feeding. A small
quantity Of corn ground with, wheat
or rye and middlngs, and the whole
mixed with milk, is first class food
for young pigs. The common iield
varieties of peas are also an excellent
food for pigs, young or old, Sow at
the rate of two bushels per acre and
cover about four inches deep, sowing
after the peas are planted three
,pecks of oats per acre well narrowed
in to serve as "A support for the peas.
The food for pigs of all ages when
not being fatted should be that which
has bulk. Middings, milk, ground
barley and swill for pigs, and for
shoats and breeding stock, feed IN
addition beets or other roots cooked
and mixed with cut clover hay. For
young pigs, ground oats with the
bulls sifted out is an excellent food.
Have part OF the feeding pen so ar
ranged that portion of the grain

1t has been found necessary to send
the following notice to the parents OF
many of the high school students. If it
is boy who is deficient the word son
is used of course instead of daughter
in the notice below and the necessary
changes in pronouns made. Parents
sometimes fail to realize that when
their children do little or no studying
at home they can do little or nothing in
their recitations at school:
Dear Sir--I am sorry to inform you
that your daughter is not making the
most of her opportunities here Her
work in classes is far from satisfactory.
During the past month she received ID
in one subject, and there is no doubt IN
our mind that she is wasting her time.
If we thought she was not capable
mentally or physically of doing the
work, we should advise fewer studies;
but her poor work is unquestionably
due to lack of application, and to in
sufficient time devoted to study
l would call your attention to the
at home. In many instances the indif-
ferent progress at school is directly and
wholly due to a lack of systematic
study at home. If your daughter is not
studying her lessons out of school, 1T is
safe to assume that something is
wrong. Students sometimes boast that
they do not study more than an hour or
so each day. When this is true, their
work at school invariably shows the eff
feet of such neglect The school ses-
sion is too short for the proper prepara-
ton of lessons In our opinion our
pupils cannot possibly do their work
well unless they spend at least from
three to four hours Of study out Of
school. 1t is therefore imperative that
periods of home study should be free
from interruption, and as regular and
unbroken as though they occurred at
school under the eye of the teacher. A
division of time at home that would
permit of the necessary amount of work
would be as follows to wit; afternoon
study hour, 2:S0 to 4 or 4:30; evening
study hour, or 1880 to 9. This involves
no unreasonable reduction of hours for
| recrea ton or for social duties, but calls
| merely for methodical habits of work
a prerequisite for success in any field
of effort
We shall be happy to consult with
you at any time in order that better re-
| suits may be obtained.
| Very truly yours,
MYRON T. SCUDDER, Principal.

SELLING WATER IN FRUIT.

Granger j. ii. Hale, writing In the
Hartford Courant, says that disguished
in the luscious strawberry, blooming
raspberry, ebony blackberry or beneath
the rosy skin of some one of our de-
licious fruits, water finds ready
market at prices that leaves millions
in it, for the one who most skillfully
assists nature in turning water into
wine" (fruits) Every season occurs
the apparent miracle of turning water,
often impure and unwholesome, into
rich and heathful fruits, which are ''ab-
soutely pure" and free from germs or
microbes How best and most econom-
ically to assist nature in the work and
reap the greatest rewards is the ques-
ton for the grower to consider most
carefully.
Just at present bushels of apples,
wheat and potatoes sell for about the
same price, 81 for so pounds. In the
apples are sold 1 ounce nitrogen, 1 Ia
ounces potash and 1-2 ounce phosphoric
acid, which cost 1 1-2 cents, leaving
SO 1-2 cents for the water. Potatoes
take from the farm ounces of nitrogen
2 ounces phosphoric acid and nearly 5
ounces of potash, valued at IA cents,
leaving 95 ga cents for the water. The

Fifteen bushels of apples take no
more plant food from the soil than one

their bright skin you can sell 1856 pounds

The Part He Played in the Army Dur
ing the Civil War.
When the civil war broke out, an i'm
mense meeting was held in Bridgeport,
Conn.,, and many men volunteered for
the army. To the general surprise one
of the richest men in the state, Elias
chine, arose and made this brief speech:
Every man is called upon to do what
he can for his country. I don't know
what I can do unless it is to enlist and
serve as private in the Union army.

and do what l can with musket"
But it soon proved that the chronic
lameness from which Howe suffered in
capacitated him from marching with a
musket, even to the extent of standing
sentry. Determined to be of use, how
ever, he volunteered to serve the regi-
hent as its postmaster, messenger and
expressman.

DEATH OF PARsLoE THE ACTOR

Well Known BY New Haven Playgoers.
Charles Thomas Parsloe, who died in
New York on Saturday, was well
known in this city. Mr.. Pars1oe made
his first appearance in this city as the
Chinaman in the "Danites' with Nc
Kee Rankin in 1877 at the New Haven
Opera house. A year later he formed
a partnership with Louis Aldrich and
played Wing Lee in MY Partner"
This piece also has been presented in
this city many times Later he ap-
peared at the Hyperion in a play by
Bill Nye called 1.-THE Cadi.'
For a long time he has been sick in
New York city Mr.. Parsloe was born
theatrical profession was as call boy
at w. e. Burton's Chambers street the
alter in 1850 Six years later, having
shown some ability, he was cast for a
minor role in Buttons stock company,
and his success was almost immediate.
In 1857 he was engaged by Lester Wal
lack to play character parts and his
fame as a character actor spread
throughout the entire country. On
April "a, 1864, he was married to Har-
riet A. Elliott, an actress, and in 1877
he made tour of the country with his
own company, playing THE Danites.'
1t was in 1879 that he toured with Louis
Aldrich in my Partner" He played
the role of Wing Lee for 1900 nights,
and his share Of the earnings amounted
to over 100000. Parsloe, however
specialized in the stock market, and
was quickly reduced to poverty The
impression, however, prevailed that he
had become wealthy again. This was
incorrect. For more than two years he
had been a charge on the Actors fund.
The funeral will be conducted by the

The state harbor and land commits
sion's report, which was so favorable
to the development of the navigation of
the Connecticut river, is now followed
by pooling Of issues on the part of
the congressman of western Massachu-
sets. They are all reported as be-
ieving that it is more important to get
a liberal appropriation to open the river
than to push purely local enterprises.
Mr.. Lawrence and Mr.. Weymouth, it is
said, will probably refrain from press
ing their bills for public buildings at
Holyoke and F'itchburg, and chip in to
help Mr. GlIett's Connecticut river
scheme. It is very Important, it is said,
that there should be water competition
with the railroads. Mr. Weymouth and
Mr.. Lawrence may be the more ready
the outlook for appropriations for new
buildings is not especially bright, in
view of the evident determination of the
republican leaders in congress to keep
the money bills down. The harbor and
land commissions report contained an
estimate placing the cost of the Con-
necticut river scheme at $4,000, 900, aside
from the ten draw-bridges necessary.
Compared with work elsewhere author
lied by congress, there is no doubt of
the ample justification of the present at
tempt.
