Old Method Scatters Dirt.
The hygienic housewife-and every
good housekeeper is practical sani-
tarian-will welcome the new process
of cleaning by vacuum" described in
the recent issue of the London Lancet

modern compressed air method-by
neither of which are dust and dirt fin.
ally disposed of, but only dislodged
from their settling places to be scat
tered to others-all dust, and the dis
ease germs which it contains is
sucked out of the carpets, rugs, cur
tains, tapestries, ETC., and conveyed
through rubber tires to an exhaust cyl
inder, whence it is emptied into the
furnace for complete destruction.
Process is Simple.
AS described by the Lancet, the pro
cess is simple enough, and indeed such
that it is little surprising that it has
not been suggested and applied before.
When "spring cleaning" is to be done
a machine is sent to the house provided
with pair of vacuum pumps, operated
by an oil or an electric motor, which
serve to maintain an Exhaust" of sew
eral pounds to the square inch. Varying
lengths of hose are connected with this
Exhaust and terminate in so-called
cleaners or ''renovators,' which con-
sist of tubes fiattened out at the end
into a long slit. The ''renovator" is
rubbed up and down over the carpet or
cloth coverings of chairs or seats from
which it rapidly sucks out all the dust.
THE result is quite remarkable" The
dust is extracted not only from the
surface but from the body of the car
pet also, so that at the end of the pro-
cess not the slightest appearance of
dirt can be detected on beating the
material.

FACTsAND FIGURES.
h The Interest In Woman Suffrage
Passing Awayi

There is an article going the
rounds in the newspapers headed
passing of Woman Suffrage" in
which the writer says that woman
suffrage seems to have reached its
climax and Is now steadily receding.
Then follows a list of defeats
which seems to prove to his satisfac-
ton that woman suffrage is rapidly
dying. The very defeats mentioned
by the writer showed great gains for
woman suffrage,
There are now FIVE States of the
Union in which the question of
woman suffrage has been twice
submitted to the voters, at intervals
OF some years. In every case the
result. has been more favorable the
second time then the first. In
Colorado, equal suffrage was sub
mitted in 1877 and defeated; Il was
submitted again in 1893 and carried.
In Kansas, when submitted the FIRST
time, it received o,Ioo votes; when
submitted the second time, it
received os,3oa. In the State of
Washington, in 1850, the adverse
majority was 1896; in 1893, il
dropped to o,8Sa. In South Dako-
ia, in 1890, woman suffrage was
defeated by majority Of az, 6Io; in
1893, by majority Of only s,sSs.
In Oregon, the vote In 1884 stood
1915 nays to mag yeas; in
1900, il was az, aos nays to a1,a6s
yeas.
Equal suffrage has made more
progress 10 the past ten years than
in the half century preceding, which
can be shown by the gradual ex-
tension Of some form of suffrage to
women all over the civilized world,
full suffrage in Colorado, Utah and
Idaho and national suffrage to all
the women Of Federated Australia
and New Zealand.
Another fact showing the growing
interest IN the cause is the receipts
ofthe National Suffrage Association
which have increased from sa,ooo.
in 1891 to Sss.ooo at the present
time.
These facts do not indicate a
dying cause.

The Parkersburg Sentinel says
that:
The declaration of the friends of
the Augusta county bill that they
were held up and blackmailed by
the "party leaders" at Charleston is
a charge of much seriousness. and
its indefinite character leaves open
to suspicion every one of the lobby,
whether they were engaged to legit-
innate or crooked lobby work.
The charge as published is speci-
fic, that the s'leaders" received S., :
900 from the Ausgusta county advo-
Gates which they pocketed and al
lowed the measure to 60 by default
Their keeping the money is of no
consequ ence, as that was what they
were there fer. nevertheless il is of
some interest to the honest republi-
cans of the state to know whether
il be fact that their leaders are en-
gagged in the v:llaianous work of
levying blackmail on interests that
are seeking legislation. II they are
engaged in this business the people
ought to knowit.

sACKCLvTHA AND ASHES.
Fertv Days Of Esat Beslas la RigIaly
Observed bv Faithful Catholics and
Episcopallans--What Lent Means

Lent begun last week or Ash
Wednesday. as It is known in the
calendar OF church. feasts and Holt,
days This lentea season will last
until Easter Sunday, or for period
of forty-six days. The name OF
Ash Wednesday comes from the old
ceremony Of putting ashes on the
heads of the clergy andthe people
on this day.
The word lent comes from the
ancient language of Nothern Europe
and the meaning of it is The Spring
Fast The origin of the ceremony
10 unknown but the ceremonies
attached to the lenten season are as
old as the church ITSELF. The
season is celebrated in the Catholic
church with different rites from that
OF the Protestant churches. The
first Sunday in lent..is called the
most solemn of all the year. As on
Passion or Palm Sundays no other
feast can be celebrated on this day;
not even the feast of the patron
saint of the church, or the church
OF its dedication. 1t is called Fifth
Sunday because it is the fifth Sun
day before Easter. Sometimes this
day is spoken of as Brand Sunday
because in the olden times the
youths who had given themselves
up to designations of the carnivals
used to come on this Sunday to the
doors of the churches with lighted
tapers in their hands as sign of
public penance for their sins.
The second Sunday of lent is
called vacent Sunday because it had
no service that belonged to it. The
third Sunday is called My Eyes
from the first words with which it
begins. Formerly it was called
Ballot Sunday because in olden
times they used to vote on that day
for those whom they baptized on
Holy Saturdays, when all of the
people had gathered in the church
to see those voted for washed in the
waters OF redemption.
The fourth Sunday in lent is
known as Rejoice from the first word
with which the liturgy begins. The
last Sunday OF lent is called Passion
Sunday. Lent comes to a close on
Saturday, and this day is known as
Holy Saturday. This is most
solemn season through the church
and the different days in their
separate degree are celebrated with
great awe and not without certain
amount Of pomp.
In the Catholic churches the
period is mere rigidly observed than
in the churches of other denomina-
tons. 1t is also observed rather
austerely among the faithful OF the
Episcopal church. Catholics eat
meat on few days during the lenten
period, and many partake OF only
one meal on certain days. All the
faithful deny themselves something.
