WOMEN, POLITICS AND PRINCIPLE

The state elections have come and gone, and a great amount of solid and permanent benefit has been achieved.
 Finding suitable men to support was the main difficulty which beset women voters, many. irI disgust, giving up the search and allowing their privilege to lapse, for, sad to say. in many con stituencies there appeared none right eous no, not one. Others took the less extreme course, and of the two evils chose the least. by voting to keep the man with the most glaring faults out of power. Many women worked for the several parties represented.
 The old earnest workers for suffrage knowing how hard the privilege of vot- ing was to gain, held it precious and sacred and urged upon their sisters to keep free from political contamination, knowing that the flowers of principle often bloom over the graves of party. But women will advance in Knowledge and understanding between now and the next election. and, with the benefit of experience will better understand the
 laws of cause and effect.
 The elections have no doubt proved a valuable practical lesson, which will achieve more than years of theoretical teaching, and will prove a permanent point rom winch comparisons may be made. But in the meantime women
 must not relax their Nyatchfulness one iota, for perfect liberty requires con- stant vigilance.
 Never before were the wives Of statesmen so honOred as during the l recent elections. For months previous to the contest the wife's name was ever upon the candidates lips when talking | to women or addressing large audiences where the sex was represented; and not infrequently she advocated his claims. This was all very well for i those leading regular lives; and even ! in the case of couples estranged. men. | having the will. soon discovered the way to a reconciliation. But to those | living immorally this was not possible. | so the political LOthariO had to content l himself with crying sour grapes to the l DunmOre fitch high out of his reach 1 Sidney, N. s. w, Dawn.

One Application soOthed Him to Sleep. Cure Speedy

'When my little boy was about three months old his head broke out with a rash, which was very itchy and ran con- siderable watery fluid. We tried every thing we could, but he got worse all the time till it spread to his arms, legs, and then to his entire body, and he got so bad that he came near dying. The rash would itch so that he would scratch till the blood ran, and thin yeIlowish stuH would be all over his pillow in the morn ing. I had to put mittens on his hands tOkeep him from tearing his skin around his wrists. He got so weak and run down that he took fainting spells like we would think him dying. He was ale most skeleton and his little hands were thin like claws.
 '' He was bad about eight months when, we tried CutIcura Remedies. I had not laid him down in his cradle in the daytime for @ long time. He had got so that he just slept in our arms all the time. washed him with Cuticura Soap and put on one application of Cuticura Ointment and he was so aoothed that I put him in the cradle. You don't know how glad felt when he felt better. It took one box of Cuticura Ointment, pretty near one cake of Cuti- cura Soap. and about half bottle of Cnticura Resolvent, to cure. I think our little boy would have died only for the cuticura Remedies, and l shall ale ways remain firm friend of them"

A WORD FOR MARK SMITH
CaptaIn Hardy of hOhave Says Stand
 Back and Give Mark Room.

To the Editor of The Republican:
 Sir-Now tlrat congress will convene within few days for the short session. I would suggest that the republicans Of the territory stay ait home and let Will son and Mark Smith have the entire credit of having Arizona admitted as a state.
 Mark Smith in his speeches claimed to be able to muster enough democratic strength to flbuster and defeat the joint statehood bill that is now pend ing in the senate, and asserted that he could obtain separate statehood for us. Now, let Mark have a chance. Let us see what he can do.
 For one, do not believe that Smith can have any influence with the senate, but by all means the republicans should stand back and give him a show. Let him work. Respectfully,
 VIM. H. HARDY.

Too Hot for TenderfOOt

A traveller tells an amusing tale OF
how he visited a Japanese friend on
at home day and accepted the offer OF
bath on the lawn. He go in when
the water was tepid and enjoyed il
immensely up to ninety something.
Just as he was thinking OF getting out
his friends wife and daughter put in
an appearance and began to wash rice
at a we'll near by. Now the regula-
ton bathing dress of Japan is like a
footless stocking without leg, or a
bunghole without q barrel around it,
and our traveller hadn't it with him at
the time. He endured another five
degrees and then, with death by boil
ing staring him in the face, he was
forced out with an involuntary yell
that attracted much attention.
The fact is that in Japan everybody
bathes in puris naturalibus. 1t is their
way, and it is not till European has
lived among them for years that he or
she realizes that, after all, there is
nothing very terrible about it.-Chi-

Why Birds Live Long.

Why do birds live so much longer
than mammals, which are often hun
dred times their size? Possibly. among
other things, because they have beaks
instead of teeth. All carnivorous
beasts become weak and liable to star
walton, as their teeth drop out or
break. Neither are the herbivorous
; animals in much better case. Old
horses would probably die of starva-
tion IL Vild, for their teeth would fail
them; indeed, in some stony countries
old horses have to be killed because
their teeth are worn away by cropping
grass close to the rock. Rodents con-
stantly die from injuries to teeth. But
a birds beak neither wears out nor
drops Oh, and as 1t constantly swal-
lows fresh grit to aid in grinding food
. I'M the glzzard that needs no repairing

From time immemorial the bath tub
has been an honorable institution in
Japan. Instead of a cold dip in the
morning, the Japs take their baths
hot in the afternoon, at about o.
clock, and, beginning at 100 degrees,
the tendency is to raise the tempera-
ture as one becomes acclimatized, so
to speak. One traveller tells of the
Kawarayu bathers, who stay in the
tub for several weeks at time with
stone in their laps to keep their bodies
from floating while they are asleep.
The usual thing is to have the tub
on the lawn with a charcoal fire be-
meath it, so that one can get into the
water at so degrees and sit in it until
it reaches 100 degrees. At this point
griffin" which is to say newchum.
a greenhorn, or a tenderfoot, usually
has to get out, for it becomes literally
too hot for him. But, after a year or
two of practice, he can manage 115 or
120 degrees. The Japs themselves
can enjoy a bath even at 12S degrees.

How the Waiter Lost a Tip.

At one of the Kansas City hotels
where the colored walters give espe-
cially good service, but always expect
adequate remuneration for the same
from tho guests, n waiter was espe-
cially officious the other day in serv-
ing a man from whom he expected a
liberal tip. When the meal had been
served and he was standing off at one
side, eagerly looking for an opportu-
nifty to be of service, he said to the
guest:
Didn't yo' have a brothah heah last
week, sah?"
NO" said the one addressed, 81 be-
lieve not"
We'll" continued the waiter. "theh
was a gem man heah at nah table
what looked ve'y much like you, and
he was so we'll pleased with the serv-
ice that he gave me so cents when he
left"
The guest had by this time finished
his meal, and as he arose he said to
the expectant servitor:
Come to think of it, Sam, that was
my brother that was here. and | guess
he paid you for the whole family. He
may be back again in week or two. p"
