sons was always the main object When
it was the fashion to beat children to re-
gard them as little animals who had no
rights it was always for their good that
they were treated with severity. and
never on account of the bad temper of
their parents Hence, when it is proposed
to give to the women of this country an
opportunity to present their case to the
various state legislatures to demand of
the people of the country equality Of po-
lltcal rights. it is not surprising to find
that tie reasons on which the continu-
ance o. the aferiority of women is urged
are drawn almost entirely rom a tender
consideration OF their own good. The
anxiety felt lest they should thereby de-
ter:Orate would be an honor to human
nature We're ii not an historical fact that
the same sweet Solic.tude has been put up
as barrier against every progress which
women have made since civilization be-
gan.
IF suffrage be a right, if it b, true that
no man has a claim to govern any other
man except to the extent that the other
man has Il right TO govern him. then there
can be no discussion of the question of
woman suffrage. No reason on earth can
be given by those who calm suffrage as
right of manhood which does not make
It Il right of womanhOOd also. If the sui
rage is to be given man TO protect him
in his life, liberty and property. the same
reasons urge that il be given to woman,
for she has the same life liberty and
property to protect. If it be urged that
her interests are so bound Up in those of
man that they are sure 10 be protected.
the answer is that the same argument
was urged as 10 the merging in the huS-
band of the Wife'S right OF property, and
was pronounced by the judgment of man
kind fallacious in practice and in principle.
If the natures Of men and women are SO
alike that for this reason no harm is done
by SuppreSSlng women. what harm can be
done by eievating them to equality? If
the natures be different, what right can
there be in refusing representation to
those who might take juster views about
many social and political questions?
:; x
1t is sometimes asserted that women
through their husbands and brothers.
This is undoubtedly true. But that is lust
the kind of influence which is not whole
some for the community, for it is inf1u-
ence unaccompanied by responsibility
People are always ready to recommend
to others what they would not do them
selves. If ii be true that women cannot
be prevented from exercising political in
tiuence, IS moi this only another reason
why they should be steldied III their DO
litical action by that proper sense of re-
sponsfbility which comes from acting
themselves?
I'VE conclude then that every reason
which in this country hestows the ballot
upon man is equally applicable to the
proposition To beStow the ballot upon
woman. that in oar Judgment there is no
foundation for the fear that woman will
thereby become unified. for all the duties
she has hitherto performed"

Voting in Georgia has heretofore been
restricted by the constitution to citizens
who have paid all. taxes assessed upon
them since 1877. At the recent State
election constitutional amendment
still further limiting the right to vote
was adopted. Hereafter a voter must
not only have paid all his taxes, but
must have served in some one Of the
wars of the United States or Of the
State, or must be lawfully descended
from some one who has rendered such
service, or must be Of good character
and understand the duties Of citizen
ship, or must possess certain amount
of education or certain amount Of
property. The avowed object of the
new law is the Acknowledgement Of the
ignorant negroes. Similar disfranchise-
ment has been effected in Louisiana and
North Carolina by law which pro-
vides that voters must be descended
from persons whose ancestors could
vote prior to 1867. In South Carolina
and Virginia the voters must have paid
their poll-tax. There are educational
and property qualifications in South
Carolina and an ancestry qualification
IN Virginia.

Treasury officials note that silver dol
lars are gradually going out of use in
the West and South, and that their
place is being taken by dollar bills. A
few years ago it was rare thing to
see a dollar bill west of the Mississippi
river, while in the South silver dollars
were far more plentiful than the soft
money. 1t seems that the doom of the
silver dollar was sounded when the gov
eminent decided that it would no long
err pay the freight between subtreasur-
les and banks on the coins.

A Real Nice Husband.

During the reign of Queen Anne
there lived in Jermyn street, London
Mr. and Mrs. Howe, who were 8
well to do and apparently a very hap
by couple. After eight years of mar
ried life Mr. Howe suddenly disap-
peared, and nothing was heard of him
for seventeen years, during which pc
Rod his two children had died and
Mrs Howe had left her Jermyn street
residence for a small house off Golden
square The extraordinary part OF
this real life romance is that Mr.
Howe had never gone away from Lon
don at all and lived at Westminster
under another name. Disguised, he
attended st. James, Piccadilly, every
Sunday and saw his wife there. Mr
Howe also frequented a coffee house
which almost faced Mrs. Howe's
house, and thus he could watch her
movements When seventeen years
had elapsed Mrs. Howe received an
anonymous letter In which the writer
desired her to meet him in Birdcage
walk the next day, as he had some
thing important to tell her. Mrs.
Howe went as requested and there
met her long lost husband. Mr.. Howe
never explained the motives which
had prompted his disappearance, and
Mrs. Howe wisely did not press the
subject The reunited couple lived for
many years after their separation hap
ply, which is only one of the many
cases in everyday life where truth is
stranger than fiction.

When all was satisfactorily settled
the plenipotentiaries rose to take form

Osmosis In Medicine

Osmosis is the passage of a liquid
or gas through membrane. Some
times medicines are administered in
this way. But how far we are from
understanding the details of this sub
ject as related to the human body is
indicated by some experiments of Pro-
fessor Louis Kahlenberg. All attempts
to introduce lithium salts into the sys-
TEN by absorption through the skin
have failed, and yet the same salts
make their way readily through the
mucous membrane When the feet are
soaked in solution Of hydrochloric or
sulphuric acid, an alkaline reaction
quickly takes place internally. But
citric acid refuses to act the same way,
although both of the acids have a sim
liar effect when taken through the d.
gestive tract. Sulphuric acid, then,
has quite different physiological eff
feet when it enters through the skin
instead of through the mouth. Living
membranes act differently with regard
to osmosis from dead ones, and the
same membranes which behave alike
with regard to some substances behave
very differently from one another with
regard to other substances.

On the last day of each October the
city solicitor of London, with an as
sistant. attends upon the royal remem-
brancer, when by proclamation the
tenants and occupiers of a piece OF
waste ground called the moors, in the
county of Salop," are commanded to
"come forth and do your service upon
pain and peril that shall fall thereon"
The solicitor chops in halves two Tag
OTIS, one with Ratchet and the other
with a billhook. Afterward comes the
summons to the tenants, etc, of "a
certain tenement with forge" in the
Strand and the payment of six horse
shoes, with sixty-one shoe nails, by the
solicitor. This forge has long ceased
to be, and the same shoes and nails
are used year after year, the shoes be-
ing at least two centuries old.
