the same was the history of the democ-
racy of older nations.
Almost everything has its counter
part. To-day we are again in the age
of woman s suffrage movement. Wo-
man has developed from the ages Of
barbarism, from menials and slaves, to
the proudest distinction and sphere in
the world. She is queen of the uni
verse, but, not satisfied, seeks the suf-
frage of the ballot. Who knows but
that this is the turning point OF her
glory. Women are filling the stations
Of men. With woman S suffrage what
may follow. What is to be the result
with women as legislators and bread
earners. VIII the tender sex maintain
its beauty and purity and will the world
be as wholesome in its moral character
and in the sanctity and purity OF its
homes. VIII woman seek to dethrone
herself by challenging the right to mas
culine station History has also its
parallel for these things, and backward
may be the consequences of the move
ment.
The lesson is obvious, and why can
not the nations and the people profit by
it. History tells how people grew and
how nation fell. Is there no way to
acquire this lesson, or must every gen
Grafton think that it has something new
and every government a guarantee of
its stability
Surely there must be something of
profit in the lessons of ages.

The Campaign for good Health.

In ancient times when a man was
sick it was often the custom to hold in
carnations over him for the purpose of
driving the devils of disease away. 1t
is said that this treatment was often sue
cussful, and we can readily understand
why this was so. 1t was simply case
of using the mind to effect the body
The patient believed that he had devils
or something of the kind in his system,
and when the medical contortionist
came around and intoned a few choice
selections from the Book of the Dead
over his corpus, he had an idea that he
was going to get well, and frequently he
did.
Unquestionably we all suffer more
from imaginary ills than we do from
disorders. There are some people who
grow faint at the sight of blood. OF
course the blood doesn't really affect the
sight. 1t affects the Imagination and
the mind does the rest. Therefore any
system that does not employ mental
suggestion in the cure of disease is an
imperfect system.
Far back in the twilight period of
Egyptian history, we find that there
were doctors and drugs. The old in
scriptions have preserved some of the
formulas of the physicians In the
treatment of disease unfortunately popu-
lar theories have been carried to an ex-
IRENE At one time the chief reliance
has been upon drugs, and the villainous
doses that have been taken into the
human system have been the amaze
ment of later days. A hundred years
ago, blood letting was very popular, but
the mistake was supposing that it was
good for any disease at any time, 1t
was carried to an extreme.
In recent years the study of health
has been taken up in all its branches.
Many of our magazines and other peri
odicals have established health depart
ments. The use of drugs have not been
discarded, but it has become more scien-
tifc. The old blood-letting mania has
become the modern science of surgery
When painful operation is to be per-
formed, we have learned how to elimi-
nate the pain artifcially. The masseur
is frequently engaged where formerly a
drug was administered.
But above all, we have learned to fight
disease with cleanliness, with fresh air,
with sunshine and exercise. We have
found that the copious drinking of pure
water is conducive to good health, and
that there are waters that will aid in the
cure of certain diseases.
The establishment of boards of public
health has gone far to promote COM
munal health; and in the household
much thought is taken to prevent the
appearance of disease. Formerly when
the yellow fever appeared in one of our
Southern ports, there was nothing to
prevent its spreading al over the
country, if conditions werA favorable.

Nothing New Under the Sun.

As generation succeeds generation,
each in its time glories in new achieve
ments, Notwithstanding the old saw
that there is nothing new under the
sun. As far as relates from one gener-
alton to another there are many new
things, but in the horoscope of the
worlds history and research progressive
and inventive genius has had its inspi-
ration in the glorious ages Of the past
The twentieth century girl may think
that her sheath gown and fluffy crown
Of hair, her naive and spirit have
dwarfed the lustre of the lady of per-
iwig and powder and that she has
charms of intellect more irresistible, but
there are many cute things in manner
and speech which have been drawn
from the fund on hand when miladi
danced the minuet
The old schoolmaster told Little Nell
that she was as Welcome as the flow
ers in May" and yet those who have
been singing the popular song may have
thought the expression entirely new
The street urchin takes them off the
reel, :" but his mind travels the same
route and voices the same expressions
that were coined hundreds of years ago.
Vox the Ventriloquist startled Eng
land with the art of transferring his
voice, and the days of Punch and Judy
have ever since been characterized by the
same manner Of expressions The same
jokes come to us in revised form from
the clown and the minstrel, THE Same
Thing Over Again, -
The world has seen the invention of
the airship and wireless communication
by telephone and telegraph. We have
our skyscrapers, but we have no such
buildings as SoIomon's Temple or the
Coliseum at Rome. Perhaps we may
have eclipsed the world in transporta-
ton and communication by means of
steam and electricity, but the ruins of
ancient temples and palaces of mosaics
in the highest development of architec-
ture, studded with gems and precious
stones, the resurrection Of paintings, the
quality and durability of which colorS
we have not been able to duplicate, do
not indicate as much. The genius of
such an age must also have evolved
other great feats and accomplishments,
the evidences of which have been de-
stroyed.
History repeats itself, F" as shown by
the rise and fall of empires and repub-
lies. Arts and sciences develop as ma
tions advance and fall into decay with
the decline. Each age has its notable
achievements and triumphs, but all
these have in measure had their coun-
terparts in other times. To-day we are
in the midst of political changes. We
are departing from the. moorings and
the two great political parties have near
" lost their identity. The lines of de-
marcation are nearly obliterated, but
