ETHICS OF SUFFRAGE

THE EVOLUTION INVOLVED IN WOM AN'S USE OF THE BALLOT. m§WMfwm

Its Effect on Government, Society, CIYI--../^liration. Health and Happiness and Its -J* », Mission of Light and Sunshine, Mercy

Peace and Morality.

The basic idea of a republic is the right of self government, the right of every citi •A zen to choose bis own representatives and to make the laws tinder which he lives, and as this right can be secured only by the exercise of the right of suffrage the ballot, in the hand of every qualified person constitutes the true political status of a •citizen in a republic,

The right of suffrage Is simply the right to govern one's self. Every human being is born into the world with this tight, and the desire to exercise it comes naturally with the responsibilities of life. "The high est earthly desire of a ripened mind," says Thomas Arnold, "is the desire of taking an active«8hare in the great work of govern ment." Those only who are capable of appreciating this dignity can measure thocx tent to which women are defrauded as citi zens of this great republic neither can they measure the loss to the councils of the nation of the wisdom of representative women.

When men say that women do not desire

the

right of suffrage, but prefer masculine domination to self government, they falsify every page of history, every fact of human nature.

The chronic condition of rebellion, even of children against the control of nurses, elder brothers, sisters, parents and teachers is a protest in favor of the rightof self gov ernment.

The general unrest of the subjects of kings, emperors and czars, in secret plottings or open defiance against self consti tuted authorities, shows the hatred of all people for governments to which they have never consented.

But it is eaid that on this point women are peculiar that they differ from all other classes that, being dependent, they nut urally prefer being governed by others. The facts of history contradict the asser tion they show that women have always been in a state of half concealed resistance to fathers, husbands and all self constituted authorities as far as tliey dared—as far as good policy permitted them (being dependents) to manifest their real feelings It has taken the whple power of the civil and canon law to hold woman in the sub ordinate position which it is said she will ingly accepts. If woman had no will, no self assertion.no opinions of her own to start with, what means the terrible persecutions of the sex in the past?

So powerful and merciless has been the struggle to dominate the feminine element in humanity that we may well wonder at the steady, persistent resistance maintained by woman through tho centuries. She has shown all along her love of individual free•dom, her desire for self government, while her

Achievements

in practical affairs and

her courage in the emergencies of life have vindicated hcrcupucity to exercise this right, These, one antl all, are so many protests against absolute authority and so many testimonials in favor of self government, and yet this is the only form of government that has never yet been fairly tried.

Tho few experiments that have been made here and there in some exceptional homes, sshools and territories have only been partially successful because the surrounding influences have been adverse. "^1 when wo awake to the fact that our schools are places for training citizens of a republic, the rights and duties involved in self government will fill a larger place in the curriculum of our universities.

Woman suffrage means a complete revolution in our government and social life—a revision of our constitutions. It means an •expurgated edition of our statute laws and codes, civil and criminal. It means equal representation in the halls of legislation and the courts of justice thnt woman may be tried by her own peers—judges and advocates of her own choosing. It means light, and sunshine, mercy and peace, in our .dungeons, jails and prisons, when the barbarous idea of punishment shall give place to tho diviner idea of reformation. It means police matrons in all our station houses, that young girls arrested during the night when intoxicated and otherwise helpless may bounder the watchful eyes of some judicious woman and not left wholly at the mercy of a male police.

And what does woman suffrage mean in social life? Health and happiness for women and children one code of morals for men and women love and liberty, peace and purity in the home cleanliness and order in the streets and alleys good sanitary arrangements in tho homes of tho poor morals and manners tatvght in the (schools.

We canuot estimate the loss to the world ,in this repression of Individual freedom aud development through childhood and youth. Woman suffrage means anew and nobler type of men and women, with mu tual love and respect for each other. It means equal authority in the home, an «qual place in the trades and professions and equal honor and credit in the world of work.

Our civilisation today is strictly masculine. Everything is carried by force aud violence and war aud will be until the feminine element is fully recognized and has equal power in the regulation of human affairs. Then we shall substitute cooperation for competition, persuasion for coercion.

If woman suffrage means all this, surely It is tho greatest question ever before any nation for consideration and imperatively demands the prompt attention of the leading minds of our day, and women themselves must make this the primal question in their estimation.

The enfranchisement of woman in England and America would give new dignity, self respect and hope to the women of every nation in the uttermost isles of the sea.

The protracted struggle through which we have passed and our labors not yet crowned with victory seem to me sometimes like a painful dream, in which one strives to run and yet stands still, incapable alike of escaping or meeting the impending danger.

But I would not pain my readers' ears with a rehearsal of the hopes ofttitnes deferred and shadowed with fear, of the brightest anticipations again and again dimmed with disappointment. I will leave it to your imagination to picture to yourselves how you would feel if any of you had had a case in court, or a bill before some legislative body, or a political aspirar tion, for nearly half a century, with a continued succession of adverse decisions, and yet the future is so full of bright promises for us that we still hope and labor while we wait,—Klixabeth Cady Stanton in New York Sun.

NEW PINCUSHIONS.

Fashion Declares For More Cushions, and This Tells How to Slake Tbem. 'At first thought a pincushion is a prosaic thing. It is a highly necessary object, a receptacle for an essential element of the toilet—mayhap a convenience which we should none of ns like to be without. A search among the assortment of today will reveal some fresh and interesting facts and will show that the cushion has developed out of the prosaic into something genuinely fresh, genuinely dainty and genuinely attractive apart from its obvious use.

There are almost as many varieties of cushions as there are pins, and the well equipped woman has many sizes and many sorts. She not only has her dressing table well supplied and her hatpins, her scarfpins, her stickpins and her plain everyday pins provided with fitting receptacles, but she has also her pocket cushions, which she carries in her shopping or handkerchief bag.

The very latest decree of fashion declares lace and ribbons essential to true elegance and prefers that the dressing table cushions should be round. It asserts that pocket cushions are to be the vogue, and it makes suggestions for both my lady's boudoir and for less cesthetic man's own room, as well as for his pocket cushion, which is really what its name implies. The round cushions of embroidered linen and lace are nearly as dainty as dainty can be, and the long, narrow, rectangular ones made from the same or similar materials are charming apart from their usefulness, which is of course the first point to be borne in mind.

A pretty model for a lady's use is made of fine white Japanese linen, oriental lace and yellow satin ribbon. As described by the New York Herald, it is large, measuring nine or ten inches in diameter. It is well stuffed, as all cushions, not especially round, cushions, should always be, and it has an under side of cowslip yellow silk: On the linen are embroidered buttercups here and there, and as it is thin and sheer the tint

FOR SMALL PINS AND FOR HATFJNS.'

of the silk gives it just a tender yellow tone. The lace makes a frill and is finished with a heading of white lace, through which narrow yellow ribbon is run. Large dog's ear bows of broad satin ribbon are placed opposite one another just midway of the round, and the .completed trifle stands upon a table that i? all white and gold.

Of the same coloring and in fact upon the same stand (see cut) is the hatpin cushion, which is alsio round, but which differs essentially from that' designed for ordinary pins. It is made within a decorated china bowl, and is just deep enough to hold the long pins upright and big enough to allow of keeping a goodly store. The special one alluded to is gold and white, to suit the stand and all the paraphernalia that it holds, but it might be 'blue, pink, green or indeed anything you may prefer. The peculiarity of the bowl is the only essential point, and to make the cushion fit it exactly requires the same care and the same method, whatever the color or design may be.

Select a pretty bowl about five or six inches" across then cut a round of heavy cardboard to fit it slightly below the ge. Cover the cardboard loosely with a large round of cotton cloth exactly ns you would cover an old time button mold, but leave it loose to allow of filling or stuffing, as is the better word. Stuff the cot|»n well with bran till you have a firm, circular mound, pouring it in through a slit in the center, which you must afterward close. Then cover with either embroidered linen or with some Bmall figured silk. Paste round the inner edge of the bowl with glue or strong flour paste, drop in the cushion, and when it is dry you will find it stuck fast.

Fabrics of. Rough Texture.

Cheviots, tweeds and all sorts of rough goods are to be much worn this autumn and winter—that is, so we are now told by our dressmakers and tailors. But the materials shown are of such heavy, rough texture it is hardly probable the fashion can be popular. On a tall, slender Woman these rough, heavy fabrics look very well, but on any woman who is not tall and slender they are very ugly and most unbecoming. Then, too, they demand a faultless cut and fit, which cut and fit demand a very big purse, and now purses are very short. So, after all, no one can yet decide positively.

A Delicious Peach Cordial.

Cut up rich peaches in slices with the peel. It is not necessary to have large peaches. Cheap ones that are well flavored and ripe will do for the purpose. Cover them scantily with water and boil them until the water is thoroughly impregnated with their flavor. Then strain he liquid off, add about a pound of sugar to every 3 pounds of fruit used and let the mixture boil a few minutes longer. Add as much brandy as there is sirup and bottle the liquid. It should be kept for several months to "soften."

Street OOVM.

While the street gowns are very plain, particularly if tailor made, they are not ofasmascnh'neacntaslastyear. Jabots of lace or chiffon are worn to soften the hard effects of tight fitting waists and waistcoats, and there is more of a Boris than a London look in everything. London fashions, by the way, are said to be very unbecoming, very ugly and extremely eccentric, v:

THEIR VERSION OF IT.

EACH TELLS THE WHOLE STORY IN HER OWN WAY.

Bat Both Disclose the Plain Unvarnished Truth—There is no Getting. Around Such Facts as These.

WATERBURY CENTRE, ,VT.—This is a small town, but often interesting happenings take place, eVen in a small town. This will be found interesting news.

Mrs. C. G. Town, a well-known resident of this place, tells the following story: "I was suffering terribly from nervousness," she says, "caused by female weakness, kidney troubles and backache, and was so weak I could not walk across the room without ,, help, jThe nerves of my eyes- were so affected that I feared that I would lose my sight. "1 saw Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy recommended so highly that I thought I would try it. I had not taken but one bottle of this wonderful medicine before my eyes were cleared of their dull aching, and all other pains and aches left me. "I grew stronger every day until I am now well and able to do my own work. I cannot do half justice in the praise of this medicine, and Igive these facts for the benefit of. others who are ailing."

MRS. C. O. TOWN.

Tu&t 6?er the .state line in Champlain, N. Y., lives a lady widely known, Mrs. B. Wilson by name, who also tells an 'nteresting story. .. "I have been seriously afflicted," she says, "with rheumatism for over twenty years, and I did not think I could ever be cured. "I have taken only two bottles ct Dr Greene's Ner ura blood and nerve rem edy and am now taking the third, and 1 can truly say that I have not been to well and free from pain for. tj^entv years. "What induced me to use this remedy was seeing the wonderful cure it wrought in my husband—it saved 'hi* life. "I feel it my duty therefore to tell the great benefits I have received .from th use of Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy and to advise all who ar* aiMng to try this wonderful' medicine

MRS. B. WII.SON.

fflt §|i$J

"I have the most unbounded confidence in" the curative powers of Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy."

Take this medicine now if you are not feeling just right, if you are weak, nervous, run down in health and strength if you do not sleep well nights, and if you wake mornings tired and unrofreshed, with little or no appetite for breakfast. Take it for headache back ache, constipation, stomach, liver or kidney complaints. It is purely vege table and harmless. Druggists sell it for $1.00.

It should not be classed with ordinary patent medicines, for it is the discovery and prescription of Dr. Greene, of 35 W. 14th street, New York, the well-known and successful specialist in curing nervous and chronic diseases. The doctor can be consulted free in any case, per sonally or by letter.

RATS AND MICE. §H"

impel These Nuisances to Vacate, and Once Out Keep Them Out. Mice often do more damage about a house than rats. They area contemptible little nuisance and cause a great deal of tumultuous vexation. Generally they work the greatest injury in and about the house, as they can get into holefe and corners where neither rats, cats nor human beings can molest or make them afraid, but where' they can multiply and devastate the house at their pleasure. They take especial delight in gnawing holes into flour and meal sacks and scattering the contents over the floor.

When weary of life, they invariably contrive to commit suicide by drowning in a pitcher of molasses or crock of fresh cream. They don't improve the flavor of liquids by bathing in them nor the smell of any box or closet by making it their abiding place. They don't improve a man's chances for a cool and comfortable hereafter fcy entering-his bunk and

converting his clothing into lint, making nests of it and raising extensive families therein. They do have a very mean and small way of creating tribulation in the household, upsetting equanimity and destroying peace of mind.

All houses should be made mouseproof when they are built. They may be just as well as not. Carpenters should be given distinct and emphatic instructions in regard to this matter. If the mice are already in the house, the object is to get them out and then keep them out. This is not a very difficult task, if you only go about it right. If you are certain the house does not contain more than half a dozen, you can get rid of them by employing a good mousetrap and changing the bait every day. If, however, they are numerous, it is not worth while to fool with traps use poi son and settle the matter quickly.

If you are afraid to use poisons or for any reason this is not advisable, proceed at once with caustic potash, pepper or meal and plaster of paris to make the premises unhealthy for them. At the first indications of their presence begin operations. Don't give them time to settle down, construct nests and start a •family. Make it hot for them at the very outset. They will soon discover that your premises are quite insalubrious and will carefully avoid them. It is not a difficult task to expel either rats or mice or destroy them. They love phosphorus mixed with meal and made into little balls and will eat it with avidity. They Will readily devour strychnine or arsenic when properly mixed with such food as they relish.

Finely ground cayenne pepper or tar liberally applied in the holes and runways will compel 'the rodents to leave. Caustic potash, if thinly spread' around the holes and in any place where either mice or fats are liable to' tread, will utterly ruin their feet, corrode their mouths and send them abroad in search of health.

Powdered cayenne pepper operates by creating a violent disturbance of their breathing apparatus. Don't be afraid of sifting too much into the holea and be sure that it is dry. The foregoing hints are from a little manual-published by the Rural Publishing company on how to rid buildings of these and'simalaf pests.1 In poisoning rodents the caution is given to place water where they can find access to it, and of course to provide against the poison falling into the way of children or pet animals.

Proud Moment For a Boy Soldier. A story is told of a French poet, Marquis de Saint-Marc, which would do credit to some of the military heroes of history.

When Saint-Marc was 15 years old, he was ensign of a troop of cavalry in the French army and took part in the battle ofFontenoy. The first charge of the English columns scattered and overthrew the first line of Saint-Marc's regiment, and the boy, seated on his horse and unharmed, was left alone. "In that terrible moment," he said, speaking of it afterward, "I remembered nothing except I had been told not to flinch and always to hold my standard upright. I did that with all my strength. Then the second line rushed forward. Before I quite understood it I was surrounded with friends, who wrapped me up in my flag and carried me to Louis XV, who embraced me and made me a lieutenant then and there."

His knowledge is thorough, as-he gives the population of the cities, the source and course of each river, the termini of the railroads and the cities through which they pass. There is absolutely nothing in the geographical way that he does not know or understand in the fullest degree. The boy wonder is the son of W, H. Boyles, a well known citizen of Cadiz.—Detroit Free Press.

Buttermilk For Silverware. I have discovered an easy method of restoring tarnished silver to its first appearance. Silverware becomes so blackened from the sulphur smoke that I was disgusted with mine. However, I forgot a little cream In a jug. It soured, and on cleaning it I noticed the bottom was like new silver. I immediately put all I had in buttermilk for a few hours. The carving became as fresh as at first. Any kind of sour milk is just as good. No more scouring which did not produce the new appearance.—Cor. Christian Union.

Pare and cut the apples in quarters or eighths, according to size. COok tender in a sirup made of 7 pounds of fruit to 9 pounds of sugar and a pint of vinegar. Add cinnamon and other spices to taste.
