Economic Conditions of Women.

"The three great factors" continued Mrs Saxon, "that are working out the economic and changed condition of women are war, the dram-shop where social drinking is carried on and it's vicious twin, the brothel. Three things woman has never fostered or loved have driven her out into the world of work, forcing her into competition with men, cheapening their labor and arousing their indignation, never seeming to see how helpless she is in this matter. The wide spread organizations among women are all of an educative, humanizing tendency from the exclusive culture club to the social set clement, embracing between these two ex- tremes dozens of others, all tending to the altruistic socialism taught by Jesus two thousand years ago.
 Our educated, thinking women are doing all they can to help carry our nation through a great crisis and by the generous cooperation of good and noble men, a nobler and wiser race of voting citizens will be evolved

A Student of Psychic Phenomena.

Mrs. Saxon spoke Interestingly of her present work In regard to mental science. "All my life,' she said, q have been stn- dent of psychic phenomena. In St. Louis I attended meeting of Divine Scientists and heard pr. Sullivan speak. was so inter- ested that l joined his class. I had been in several Christian Science classes, but my liberty-loving soul could i'll brook the re- strictions placed by Mrs. Eddy over all the work, and some of its tenets I did not re- ceive. Dr. Sullivan taught the life and teachings of Jesus as practical life, and living the life brought us under the law he taught. I had always felt that the teaching of the Master was practical, and to be of great help to the race, and had been Bible student for years; and my ex- perience in prison work gave me very pos- itive convictions concerning 1t. When l showed pr. Sullivan my hand and arm he said: You will surely be healed If you come in the pure and earnest desire to know and do the best 1 retorted, Well, If I am cured of this twenty years of agony, I will not only thank God, but proclaim the truth wherever l may go.'
 "I was healed before the fourth lesson, and in the six weeks following I wrote over 800 pages without pain, and have continued well ever since. I was able to do some good healing there, and have done the same here, though I have made no exertion in any di- rection save in teaching my classes. The awakening all over the world concerning this vital question is greater than people are generally aware of, and 1t is only a question of time when the world will be convinced that the evolution of man means that he shall grow into a spiritual being here on earth, and much of the prophecies will be verified If he finds to do good means freedom from suffering and pain A new race, thought will be the result'

Personalities of Famous Women.

In speaking of the prominent women with whom she had worked Mrs. Saxon said:
 q have known nearly every prominent woman suffragist, and many of the anti slavery workers and later many noted club women and certainly I know more cranks than any one ever met, for have gener- ally found they were thinkers, and were never sewed up on all subjects, but weather and clothes, and among these met the brightest people I have ever known. Of the suffragists, Mrs. Stanton ranks ahead of all A born patrician, she is broadly democratic in her views, fearless in ex- pressing her convictions and is the brain- fest woman I ever knew and by far the most entertaining. She has clashed swords with men and women In intellectual combat for over sixty years and never once been worsted in the conflict Had Mrs. Stanton been of the representa- tive sex, she would today stand among the foremost of our noted great men. As woman, wife and mother we can all be proud of her. She is a widow and has eight children. One of her sons, Harriot Stanton Blatch married in England, Theodore, another son, is in Paris where he resides and all the rest are good citizens here in America. She reared her family well, despite the great amount of public work she has done and is today socially as charming as the daintiest dame in all America.
 Miss Anthony I loved with sincere devo- tion. Hers is the power of winning and holding friends, and she has staunch ones. Mrs. Stanton and her sister Mary have been the closest helpers in her life work.
 Liie DeverauX Blake and I have done a good deal of work together in New York, when trying to secure the school vote for women, which we did. She is a charming ly witty and very bright woman, and has done big lot of work socially. She is very attractive and a beautiful woman per- sonally.
 Mrs. zerilday Wallace. the stepmother of Lew Wallace, made her first address in Washington on the same night made mine in 1885. She is a Kentucky woman by birth and one of the noblest characters to be found anywhere. Her hair Is very curly and she has worn 1t close cut since
 her girihood. I always felt when with her as if Roman woman of highest type was talking to me, as now recall the many

Her Views on Woman,s suffraqe.

Mrs. Saxon smiled when asked to give her views on women's suffrage One real ized at once that it was a subject upon which 1t gave her great pleasure to speak.
 'I am in deep sympathy with work and workers" she said "but have done noth- ing in the cause since I attended the Att lanta convention of suffragists when they met there three years ago.
 q wanted to stay in the south, and be- ing then deeply interested in the manner our women were dealing with the club question, knowing as I did the strong con- servatism of all our people, chose for my

subject at that convention Club Life in Its Influence on Southern Women.' I was at that time national president of the Kee- ly Women, who were engaged in the work of raising money to send the many women victims to the drug habit to the institutes to be cured. Very many were so cured and restored to happiness in their families, while the subject was brought to the knowledge of others who needed to be cured. Mrs. Anthony did not approve of any other work being done that interferred with or in any way complicated the suff- rage movement. Shortly after the conven- ton I refused renomination for president of the Keely work at Harrisburg, Pa. Re- turning home I was thrown violently from the car step and injured my lame shoulder.
 "I gave up all work, resigned from the board of Federation of Clubs and believed I was disabled for life. Since then l have done little work, speaking once or twice at Sedalia, Mo-, and going thence to St. Louis, where I entered the study that now is my work.

SEEDS FROM JAPAN.
Selected for Experiment In This
Country.

NJ to Convert Some OF ~
PlAAtD to COnlmOA Use
Here

Prof S. A. Knapp, the special COM
missioner of Secretary Wilson to the
orient to investigate the availability of
eastern plants and seeds for common
use in this country and secure speci-
mems of those that are valuable. has
submitted his preliminary report sum-
ming up the work.
There are number Of seeds and
plants selected for experiment with
view to common usage here, and they
include persimmons, the eastern prod
uct of which is a far more edible fruit
than ours; bamboo. Japan plums, pears,
camphor trees and hagi All the per-
simmon and pear seedlings have
reached here and have been distributed
to experiment stations.
AS to the persimmons. Prof. Knapp
found very few varieties sufficiently
tested to be worthy of introduction.
A few, however, were secured The
persimmon, the report shows, is the
most universally used of The fruits in
Japan. This makes the iii st importa-
ton of the seedless variety of the per-
simmOn, which is dried and preserved
like fig. Some plums were purchased
in Japan for hybridiNng our native
plums-
The bamboo is used in Japan for an
infinite variety Of purposes, and it is
even table dslicacy. Whether the
American taste will be trained to use
but the report says it will thrive in
many of the southern states and be of
great value in many ways. Among
other uses it is suggested as material
for cave troughs. light fences, staging
poles or rafters. 1t is the product of
warm climate, and in rich, moist soil
frequently grows 60 feet i'll one year.
The japanese pear brought here is
very hardy and is largely used to graft,
and it is usable for this purpose
throughout the UnitedStates. One ad-
vantage it has over the American pear
is that it is said to be proof against
blight. Camphor trees were selected
because this variety will stand the frost
OF our gulf states and the tree 10 large
and ornamental. The bark of the pa
per mulberry, it is urged. will go well
with the bamboo for a variety of pur-
poses The crypomeria japonica is the
principal tree used in reforesting the
mountains Of Japan and it will be a
valuable addition to the woods of the
southern states.
Hagi, or lespidigu bicular. is a new
forage plant, apparently Of great value.
1t stands the drought we'll, is similar to
alfalfa in characteristics and nutritive
value, but more hardy, thrives on poor
er soil and has a more.vigorous growth
A variety of rice was brought from
the island Of Keushi, which. ii is said.
will not break up in the mill, which
causes a loss OF from 40 to rs per cent
in the United States
The department of agriculture also
has received the consignment of vari-
eties of Russian grains and other prod
ucts, the grains being selected with the
expectation they will resist the rust
and drought. All these are for gen
eral distribution, but are to be exper-
imented upon first at the various ae-
ricUltural stations. - Chicago Chron-
