WOMAN'S RIGHTS.

AS for myself l am not in
doubt as to my duty. Without
minimizing other arguments ad-
vanced in support of the extend
ing of suffrage to woman,
place the emphasis upon the
mothers right to voice in mold
ing the environment which shall
surround her children, which
operates powerfully in determin-
ing whether her offspring will
crown her latter years with joy
or bring down her gray hairs in
sorrow to the grave.
Politics will not suffer by wo-
mans entrance into it. If the po-
Htical world has grown more
pure in spite Of the evil inf1u-
ences that have operated to de-
base 1t, it will not be polluted
by the presence and participa-
ton Of woman. Neither should
we doubt that woman can be
trusted with the ballot. She has
proved herself equal to every re-
sponsibility imposed upon her;
she will not fail society in this
emergency. Let her vote!-Wil-
liam Jennings Bryan.

Congregational Church Notes.

The mid-week service will be held in
the chapel tonight at 7.30. The sub
ject is, lessons from Summer Expe-
riences. This is a fruitful theme and
we expect a good service.
Sunday will be observed as Rally
day All the services will have some
particular features of interest. At
the service of worship in the morning
at the usual hour, the pastor will
preach upon timely theme and the
choir will render some pleasing music.
We hope all who pc ssibly can will be
present. The Sunday school will meet
at the close of the morning service and
a feature for this day will be exercises
by every class of a varied nature.
Then will follow the lesson for the
day. Do not miss this session unless
absolutely obliged to do so. At the
evening service in the church we
expect another profitable hour. The
first portion will be devoted to song
and the pastor will speak briefly. His
address will be the third in the series
upon Church Problems which was be-
gun recently. The special matter
dealt with at this time will be the
Problem of Methods. Let all the
members and friends plan to be at
this service and at all the services of
the day, and thus contribute to their
success.
Many comments have been heard
concerning the floral decorations for
the past few Sundays. They have

flowers, and the congregation enjoy

How to Utilize Odd Bits of Soan You


Save the odd bits of toilet soap, the
more expensive and highly perfumed
ones as we'll as the ivory. When YOU
have a good collection let them sim
mer in a little water on the back of
the stove. When quite dissolved add
violet water Or any desired perfume
and few drops Of lemon juice. Pour
into desired mold and allow to harden.
A delightful perfumed soap will be the
result. Treat all bits of yellow COM
mon kitchen soap by themselves. You
will be surprised to see how much
good soap you would have wasted had
you thrown away the useless bits.

A Pretty Hot Story.

Chahert. the fire king. who was a
popular favorite in London over eighty
years ago. claimed to be able to swal-
low arsenic and other poisons with i'm
punity. Visitors to his entertainment
were requested to come provided with
phosphorus, arsenic and oXalic acid,
which he proceeded to consume before
their eyes, taking an antidote after
ward which was supposed to neutralize
their effects. Then, to show that he
was as impervious to heat as to poison,
he would take a raw leg Of lamb into
an oven heated to 900 degrees and re-
main inside until the joint was cooked,
when it was carved and handed around
to the audience. The performance
concluded by Chabert rubbing a red
hot shovel on his head and face and
allowing any one who wished to drop
molten sealing wax on his tongue and
hands--London Mail.

Prince Henry of Prussia is an ar

he is known among the bluejackets as

Is typical of his methods, and shows
that although he expects those under

Of hardships, he Is by no means above

water was like ice. The order was
SO evidently distasteful that one of
the officers ventured to make a mild
protest to the prince. Without an

Henry. although fully clothed, sprang
over the vessels side, swan out a good
distance in the icy water and returned
to the deck dripping from head to foot

Growth OF Ea.sSaII.

W Sa~oSahs
Nothing shows the growth Of base
paii more than a comparison Of gate
receipts taken in during the different
series played for the baseball cham
plonship Of the world. In the year
1854 about 300 persons attended the
maj game between the Providence
team and the Metropolitan club, cham
plons Of their respective leagues, and
the total attendance at all three games
was less than 5000. Radbourne and
keefe, the opposing hurlers, were at
the height of their respective careers,
but they failed to draw the throngs.
However, the players did not worry,
as there was nothing in it for them
except glory.
In the season of 1885 the series was
failure from all standpoints. Only
5000 saw the six contests between the
men Of Arson and the Browns, led by
Charles Comiskey. The series was
marked by continual scrapping and at
times real fighting. 1t ended or broke
up with honors in games won and YER
bal scraps "fifty-ffty." In 1886 the
first real series for the world cham
pionship was pulled off in a success
full manner. The six games drew 49,
600, and the net receipts were $4,000.
