QUEEN VICTORIA.

The widespread regret for Queen Vic
toria Is a conclusive an swer to the objsc-
tions commonly made against women
in politics." Every argument that can
be urged against following woman to
be a voter applies with ten-fold force
against allowing her to be queen.
It 10 claimed that the ballot would take
too much OF her time from domestic du-
ties. Victoria haI always had to give "a
far larger amount of tiIns to public busi-
ness than the average voter.
Is 1t urged that suffrage would bring
with 1t too much publicity? What is the
pared to 1.-THE fierce light that beats upon
a thlone?" Is it said that woman would
lose her social influence II she could
hold political office? During her whole
reign, Victoria has hat more social in
iiuence than any other person IN Eng
lard, precisely because she held the high
est political office in the kinedom Is it
prophesied that If women take an inter-
est in politics, the human race will be-
come extinct? Victoria leaves seventy
one descendants. Is 1t eaid that con-
tact with public affairs bust be d3moral'
izing TO womsnY Victoria has been in
contact with public affairs during a time
covering the terms of seventeen Presi-
dsnts OF the United States, yet she was
neither demoralized nor made less wom-
anly.
Forty -one years ago, Henry Ward
Beeoher said at Cooper Institute: Eve.
ry reason urged against a larger liberty
for woman Is illustriously oonfuted by
the dignity, purity and womanly propri-
ETY. with which Victoria stand before
her empire and before the world. For
ages woman has been advanced to honor,
influence, office and the highest public
trusts II she will accept them in aristo
cratic forms. She may be an abbess,
countess, q queen 1t is only woman
without titls that must have 10 privi
leges With a crown on her brow, she
may enter Parliaments and govern EN-
pires. With only her own simple virtues

One afternoon we had most enjoyable
drive to Eleusis about seventeen miles
outside OF the Dipylon Gate double gats)
which is so called bec1uss 1t had an outer
and inner entrance. The width OF each
door, eleven and half feet, lett enough
room for two ancient Greek chariots to
pass each other. The gates dates from tine
time of Pericles; but there ara still re-
mains OF another more ancient gate, a part
OF the Wall OF Tbemistccles, which was the
beginning of the old Sacred Way. The
"Sacra Via," as 1t was oallsd was lined
with tombs, and at stated times was filled
with pilgrims on the way to Eleusis.
After leaving tine old gateways, the
present road keeps along not far from the
Ancient Way until this ooach-man halts

byzantine sculptures ana the figures of
Christ in mosaics lining the dome are
most beautiful. The old saroophagi In

burial place OF the Frankish dukes; and
besides there are relics OF an old templs
Of Apollo which used to stand on this
site. A flight Of steps leads 60 a terrace
where you get your first glimpse of the
bay Of Eleusis.
Driving on from hare you come upon
parts of the original Sacred Way, there
being relics of Qualifications and niohes
with votive offerings and a temple to
Aphrodite, and then more bewitohing
view OF the bay Of EIeusis; and soon a
road turns off to the ferry of Salamis,
about three miles distant, and farther
along another divergss to Thebes and
other places in Boeotia,
Salamis owes its name, Salemi (place
Of rest), to the Phoenician settlers. In
mythology it was the home Of Ajax, son
o; TeIemon, who was worshipped In the
reigon as a national hero.
