Women and License in Vermont.

We said the other day that we had never believed the women of Vermont as a whole wanted the right of suf- frage but if there was any question on which they should have the right to vote it was that of the licensed sale of intoxicating liquors. The esteemed St Albans Messenger discusses this question at length and concludes as follows:
 When the state of Vermont gets ready to admit women to eaquaI fran chise with men, The Messenger will accept the situation with the best phil osophy and make the most of it. And if in those days the combined vote of the majority of men and women under a local option law is opposed to the licensed sale or liquor, it will consider it to be the duty of good citizens to uphold and enforce the verdict of the polls. But. in the meantime, it depre- eates any attempt to gain by stealth what the prohibitionists know they cannot gain in any other way. It simply suggests that the republican party owes it to it's own self-respect to be honest with itself and to keep it's platform pledge with regard to To- cal option. and until it is well in formed that the electorate that adopt ed the law has no more use for it. If Vermont is to return to state prohi- bition, let us do it honestly, straight forwardlv. like men, and not sneak be- hind petticoats.'
 We thought we made it plain that in our estimation the women of Ner- mont did not want to vote, and that was the reason why we have never encouraged legislation granting them the right of suffrage. We do not be- lieve the women would vote on license any more than they vote now for school commissioners, and no revolu- ton followed legislation granting wo- men this latter right.
 Meanwhile in our estimation the charge that the proposition to allow women of Vermont to vote is a steal thy move in opposition to license is an admission that the women would be against license and is therefore the most damaging arraignment of the sa- loon that could possibly be made Any institution which makes this admis- sion that it cannot stand in the pres- ence of the women of the Green moun- tain state and look them in the face is in a critical ondition.-Burlingto Free Press.

THREE MEALS FROM CHICKEN.

Editor Social Corner: I was much interested in the cheap meat dishes that were described in last weeks is- sue. I often use a beef shank as de- scribed. Will give my way of using chicken .(or fowl, which I prefer, as it is much richer). After thoroughly cleaning, put to stew in boiling water. After 8 time salt to taste. Mix a rich biscuit dough of one pint of flour, etc. divide, roll three-quarters of an inch thick. place in tin, spread lightly with butter, place other layer on top. and bake. When done split and break in pieces. Take up the chicken on platter thicken the liquor with little flour mixed smooth with cold water This will be meal number one.
 Take the best pieces remaining and fry brown and crisp and serve with the leftover shortcake steamed and gravy relocated for meal number two.
 Now remove all the meat that is left from the bones, add the remaining crust and gravy, mix well. press in a tin after adding salt and pepper. When cold, slice for meal number three.
 Instead of using the last remains as above. l sometimes mixed the chopped meat with an equal amount of chopped cabbage and mix all with boiled salad dressing made from any favorite recipe and garnish with whatever you have at hand. In season it is nice served in pepper or tomato cups. Of course these rules apply to a small family.
 make a meat loaf we think very nice. Take three slices of bread cut quite thick, cover with cold water.

TO LESSEN MOTHERS WORK.

Dear Arthesa: Your letter of a re- cent date impressed me more than all the rest. can judge that you are the mother of family when you tell about the early rising, preparing the break fast and getting the young people out to school.
 Have you ever thought how much energy and strength we waste in do- ing unnecessary work? No one but a mother can appreciate how much is to be done for family but I have learn ed much in the last few years.
 The morning meal now for the young people is a very simple one, and if they do not care for anything they are allowed to go without it. In times gone by I have sat and cried more than once if my children went to school before they had eaten a hearty meal: the: reut was, overload stomachs Two or three hours study schoolrooms, headaches, and if chil- dren's diseases were prevalent, mine were first to catch them. I commence ed to think something must be wrong, so I started to try the simple diet. A well-cooked cereal, or baked apple, a raw apple or an orange was all they required, and sometimes not that. For the past five years we have had no need of a physician, dentists hills were reduced one-lfalf, rugged, healthy children. exercise all they want in the open air. and sleep with open windows but plenty of bedclothing. I spend no time in pickling or preserving. The time thus spent I consider wasted, as they are no benefit to anyone, young or old, and take great deal of time from 8 mother that might be spent in resting herself or reading good liter ature

Woman Suffrage.

Much favorable comment is heard of the position Governor Baldwin has taken in the matter of woman suf- frage. The Jersey Journal, in com menting upon that part of our govern or's message which had to do with votes for women, says: Governor Baldwin of Connecticut takes a com mon sense view of the woman suf- frage question. Whilp he favors the principle involved, he doubts the ex- pediency of amending the constitution until women are generally desirous of such change and of that he sees no evidence at present. The suffra- gists will have to convert the women to their cause if they expect to achieve their object. It would be an easy mat ter to win over the men, if women themselves really demanded the bal lot.' It is probably true that the above view is sharged by majority of peo- pie. Compared with the number of women in the state, those who have declared themselves as suffragists are ridiculously few.-New Haven Palla- dilln

Recall of Judoes.


 The Arizona constitution, which is about to be submitted for the approv- al of the voters of that coming state has one feature that is a direct cfaI- lenge to the general public sentiment that favors an independent judiciary. It may be well enough for other offi- cials to require the support of fav- orable public opinion, but the judges should be free to administer justice without fear or favor. But the con stitutiona1 convention in Arizona has taken another view and has adopted the recal1'' by which unpopular off, cialS may be turned out of office be- fore the end of their term by tine vote of the people and they apply this re- call to the judges
 If this constitution, wiAh this pro- vision. is approved by the people of Arizona and is not thrown out by con greSs, judges in Arizona will have to perform their duties with an ear to the ground. Disappointed Htigants and men who have been fined or placed under the disagreeaible necessity of serving a jail sentence will have in this recall a convenient come back against the judge who imposed sen- tences upon them. They can circulate lending judge, and if they can get a sufficient number of signatures compel a public vote of the judges retention or removal. On a question in which the public is excited a judge would have to decide, not according to the law and the evidence, but in accord ance with the prevailing public opin- ion or run the risk of losing hia place -Philadel pfiia Press.

How to Keep Palms and Ferns in
 Winter.

Plants and ferns should be kept in fairly even temperature-betwee 6a and 64 degrees Fahrenheit is best. The position too, should be considered. The center of a bay window, looking due south, where the suns rays strike worst possible situation, and direct draughts-between two windows or doors or window and fireplace-are to be avoided, while dark corners are fatal to young and growing plants. The ideal position is a north aspect the palm being placed on a table or stand where the light falls evenly ioH leaves and stems alike. The leaves, too, should never be allowed to touch the walls of the room, the window, the curtains, or another plant. The slight est contact for any lentgh of time is brown at the tips.
 Palms should be watered frequently but not too often, as this will leave tine, soil too wet and cause the roots to become sodden and mouldy. Once a week all the palms and ferns in the house should be placed for three or four hours at time in large tub or bath filled with sufficient water to reach halfway up the pots. They should be lightly sprayed with a fine rose and the leaves cleaned with d sponge and dried with a soft cioth The latter operation is very import ant one in cities, the smoke and dust of a town atmosphere tending to choke the pores of the leaves. which consti- tute, in fact, the lungs of the plant

 In cold weather it is a capital plan to wrap a silk handkerchief round that portion of the roots of the palm which protrude from the earth, while at night the plants should be drawn away from the window.

Good Advice-eood BroiIina Hint.

Dear Sisters of the Social Corner: Song maketh light heart and laugh ter glad one. It has been said that we give facial expression to our thoughts and that our eyes are the windows of our souls: and if mind af- fects our looks it is more than proba- ble that it affects our health: hence we should have a care how we use the mind. because of it's good or ill effect upon our lives We know that woe -begone look and complaining mind drives people away from us and if we sink into a condition of melan- choly because of real or fancied ill., fortune nothing on earth can make us happy. A cheerful mind is indeed a blessine and q plea sant disposition a spreader of happiness. We should not brood over our real or iTna ginarv trou- bles since it is the most extravagan. and wasteful thing that we can do. Be calm in moments of trial and be merry when the heart is glad or there is promise of improving conditions.
 Have a habit of inviting laughter and diScouraging all inclfnation to irrita- ton. Depression is a closed safety valve when the pressure is getting in- juriously high. Laugh and the world laughs with you: weep, and you weep alone: md it is best that you should.

When the meat to be broiled is laid therein. salted and peppered. the edges of the paper-case should be turned over several times and then pinched together near the meat.
