CALLS WOMEN DOORMATS.
Clara Hoffman Declares Tint Women
serve for Naught In the Church
and Government.

"Women are and have been but door
mats and dishwashers for men in gov
eminent and church AFFAIRS" said Miss
Clara Hoffman, president OF the Mis-
souri, division of the w. e. 4. u, in an
address before the executive commit
tee of the Illinois Equal Suffrage asso-
citation in Evanston, H., the other day.
Continuing she said
"The time is here when woman must
rise in her might and demand some rec
ognition for her work. If the church
work were left to the men every church
in the country would he run in the
ground. In sole charge of municipal
governments, the mark of their work
Is signal failure in almost every in
stance"
Cheers greeted the speakers re-
marks and every delegate rose TO con-
graduate her. ~, reference to "the
hide-bound views of the members of
the mems monopoly" was the occasion
for more cheers.
DR.. Frances Dickinson Endorsed the
views expressed, and said that the
Equal Suffrage association should be-
gin fight to have intelligent voting
taught in the public schools.

Ho.pit.I for Tired rrc.,.

Paris has learned the art of trans
planting large trees successfully, so
that at the earliest signs of decay a
street tree may be removed and the
symmetry of the vista not spoiled by
its successor, says Harper's Maya
zine. For these trees alone the ex-
penses of Paris amount to about $780,
600 a year. The municipal nurseries
include hospital" or ''cure," for
the tired trees, where they are re-
stored, II possible, to health and
strength In soil that Is richer than
the city's. In spring and fall these
trees on their way to or from the
hospital are no uncommon feature In
the street scenes Of Paris.

PROPOSES LONG RIDE.
Horseman OF German Army 10 At
tempt to Ride from New York TO
Chicago In seven Days.

According to the New York World
Theodore Molkinten, once n crack
horseman of the German army, will
attempt to break the worlds record
for long distance riding by travelling
from New York to Chicago in seven
days, without changing horses. Mol
hnten, who was for three years a
member of the First regiment of the
German raiding artillery, said:
'The record of the world is new
held by a cavalryman in the German
army, who rode from Berlin to Wen
ma in eight days and a half. From
New York to Chicago the distance is
greater. but / propose to make the
trip on one horse, and do it in seven
days.
According to the route of the mail
trains, it is about 900 miles to Chi
cago. 1 may be able to take short
cuts and reduce that distance to
about s75 miles, which means / must
travel 1875 miles day. The distance
from Berlin to Vienna on a straight
line is about 400 miles, but there are
several mountain ranges to be crossed
and the route by horseback is much
longer. 1t would be difficult to say
just how many miles the German cav
alryman Travelled in making his rec
ord, but it is safe to say he did not
travel over as much road as from
New York to Chicago. j have en-
gagged one of the gamest horses in
New York and propose to test mis-
mettle. j will not leave his back un-
til we turn up in Chicago except for
the necessary time required for rest
ing and feeding"

THREE LIVES LOST.
Williamsport, Pa.-Three
Trainmen Perish.

Willinmsport, Pa. Dec. 16.--A
freight train on the Philadelphia and
Erie division OF the Pennsylvania
railroad went through the bridge
spanning I.ycoming creek below, this
city and Newberry st six o'clock Sun
day morning. Three lives were lost.
The dead are John Martz, engineer;
Frederick Glass, fireman. and George
Farey, brakeman, all residing Mt Sum
bury. The train was known as fast
freight No. SO, and was running three
hours late, owing to the disarrange-
ment of the schedule in consequence
of the storm. The bridge spanning
the creek was two-span iron struc-
ture, the first span of which gave way
beneath the train. The engine and
nine cars were engulfed in the icy
water. The creek was greatly swol-
len as result of the heavy rain, and
IL is presumed the middle pier had
been weakened. No efforts could be
made to reach the bodies ON account
of the height Of the waters.

cULrURE OF LENTILs.

The plant herewith illustrated is the
lentil, known scientifically as lers
esculenta. 1t is small branching
plant with delicate pealke leaves. fhe
small white flowers growing in pairs
are followed by fiat pods. each con-
tanning two very Hat round seeds, con-
vcx on both sides. Unlike the pea
and bean, the lentil is eaten only when
fully ripe. The brow. or reddish lentil
is smaller than the yellow, but of more
delicate favor. The lentil is one of
the most ancient OF food plants, prob
ably one of the first TO be brought I'M
der cultivation by man. 1t has been
grown from early times in Asia and

boards should go on hind wheels; hubs
are about eight inches through. Eight

the hind wheels, as II makes wide
surface and will run light, and more
handy wagon cannot be found.-S.

in the Mediterranean countries. The
reddish Egyptian lentil probably fur
nished the ''red pottage" of Esau. In
Europe this legume is far less grown
than the pea and bean, partly because
its yield of seed and straw is less;
therefore the market is partially sup
piled from Egypt. The lentil accord
ing TO analysis. is one of the most
nutritious Of all the legumes, but its
flavor is pronounced and TO some per-
sons not as agreeable as that Of the
pea and bean. 1t has sometimes been
claimed that indigestion and other bad
effects followed the eating of lentils,
but this impression is known in some
cases to be trace able to the use Of GER
tain poisonous vetches, whose seed
much resembles the lentil. There is
every reason to consider the lentil a
wholesome food. Until recent years
the lentiI was little known in the Unit
ed States, but with the growth of the
foreign population its use has steadily
increased. The lentils found in our
markets are all imported. but the cul-
ture of this legume with European
seeds is being tried in our southwest
ern territories and elsewhere. There
is already grown in New Mexico and
Arizona, as well as in Mexico, n small
variety of lentil, the seed of which
was doubtless brought from Spain cen
tuiies ago by the ancestors OF the
present mixed race living there. The
sandy soil of m oderate fertility seems
adapted to IT.; it has become accli-
mated, is hardy and prolific.--Farmers'

THE CAUSE pRospERs.
Much Good Work In being Done
Everywhere I'm the Cause az
Improved Roads.


Sometimes 1t appears that the good
roads question had got stuck in the
mud somewhere and never was going
to succeed in extricating itself But
that is far from the truth of the mat
ter. A question involving so many
and important points cannot be an
swered in a day nor in year, and
though the material evidences of adj
vance are not so numerous as its en-
shusiastic advocates might wish them
to be, something decidedly better, and
which in the end will prove more sub
stantial by far, is being done in the
interest of good roads. We refer to
the intelligent study and discussion
that is going forward TO determine
upon materials, methods, cost, ETC., of
road improvements in various locali-
,.es.
We are glad to know also that the
government now is prepared to exam
inc, test exhaustively and report upon
the adaptability Of materials for road
your neighborhood certain materials
which you believe could be turned to
account in this direction, you can,
without great cost to yourself, find out
exactly what their true value is. As
macadam road costs from $4,000 to
$4,000 per mile, and difference in the
choice of materials may make it last
anywhere from two to 20 years, the
enormous value to the taxpayers of Sc
Letting the best material--which often
costs as little as the poorest-is OBJ
viOus, and this latest step by the de-
partment of agriculture must be con-
sidered Of large importance.
Another thing. the advocates OF
good roads are learning that much
must be done in the way of prepare
tion for the great work of building
good roads over country so vast as
our own; that the difference between
success and failure, gain and loss,
though vast in the total, may depend
upon distinctions which seem so slight
at the outset as to appear insignifi-
cant.
The recent meeting OF the Good
Roads association al Buffalo indicated
great advance along these lines.
Among the important resolutions
adopted by that meeting were the fol-
lowing: That experience has demon
strated that the greatest progress for
good roads has been made in the states
where the system of state cooperati ton
has prevailed under the direction and
control of u state highway commits
sion or engineering department.
Therefore. we recommend this plan to
the several states as far as the same
may be applicable to their conditions;
that this congress indorses the use of
convict labor where practicable in the
work on public roads or in the prepa-
ration of materials therefor, thereby
taking the convicts out of competition
with honest labor; that this congress
heartily approves Of the use of the
wide tire on all public roads and the
substitution of the payment Of the
usual road taxes in cash instead of in
Ia bor.-Farmers' Voice.

POTATOES FOR SEED.
They should he Selected with Care
md stored Away Where Frost
Cannot Reach Them.

With the scarcity of potatoes, next
years seed will be quite an item, says
a writer in the Twentieth Century
Farmer. You can safely use very small
potatoes for seed. In the first place.
they should be ripe and free from scab.
A potato the size of small hul.ed wal
nut, or even smaller. is better for early
potatoes " planted whole than larger
potatoes that have to be, or should be.
cut before planting, as the who.e small
potato will, not rot from spring wet
like the cut ones will, and you are sure
of a better crop. You must care for
your seed right il you expect good,
or the best. crop possible. Select your
potatoes and bury them on dry ground.
Cover first with straw and ground
when freezing weather comes, more
straw and then good thick coat of
ground, and when severe freezing
comes put on good overcoat of horse
manure. IL you store in cellar don't
put them in salt barrels. In spring
take them out before they sprout and
lay them single thickness on some
hoor where they will start few
strong sprouts each. BE sure to have
them where they will not freeze and
You need not plant till soil is in good
condition for Planting. Your potatoes
thus treated will be two weeks ahead
of potatoes planted the usual way by
painting them after starting long. thin,
white sprouts. Potatoes treated as
have described will have short, thick,
stubby green sprouts IL they have had
the daylight they should have. have
seen and practiced that method for
nearly 20 years and know whereof
speak.

NEW CURE FOR RHEUMATISM.

Hester, No., Dec. 16.--An unusual
case which has recently come to
light here is exciting the keenest in
terest among medical men. Mrs. Ell
Tenor Guardhouse suffered for over
forty years with Sciatic Rheumatism
so severely and SO constantly that her
case has been regarded as chronic
and absolutely incurable. At times
the pain was almost unbearable and
she could not rest day or night.
Some few months ago she was in
duced to try DodHs Kidney Pills, q
remedy recently introduced in this
neighborhood. The immediate re-
suits were magical and she continued
till abe had taken eight boxes, and
now she declares she hes not an ache
or pain left. She believes that she n
completely and permanently cured
and a. abe has not used the pills for
some months and - to-day IN the
best Of health the doctors, who were
e Arst skeptical, ere smszed.
