WOMAN'S rOSlTIOX." j WHAT IT WAS BY NATURE AND WHAT MAN HAS MADE IT. Intended For Maternity and Homekeepen, Many Am Driven Into tlcenrwt tona That i Vere One Only far Men Some Very IMaia Talk. n reiteration of any statement, how ever important cr timelr, becomes mo iiitfon.ms. but so louz as mischievous iloas are rromulpated they must be met and distwiited, tlioueji it be eevcury tiinos ervcu and more. Otherwise the vurM would remain eternally in error. It will lie admitted, even by the most radical f the so culled woman's rights advocates, that, in ctttiformity to lier peculiar physical organization, the fe male of the human nice has been --pe-cially created to perform a specific work in the domestic economy. This is, coin preliensively stated, to bear children and maintain tlie home. On the other hand, it was manifestly intended that the male of the human race should cherish and protect her, assuming the severer physical lalior which must be performed and shielding hex from every danger that might threaten the health, happi ness and perpetuation of the spi-cies. In the original plan one duty was uot re-p:.7ur-d subordinate or inferior to the other. Nature had simply divided tho bunion of existence, assigning to one tlie active part of providing food juSI shel ter, i.nd to the other the more important part in the n production cf the species to strip it of all its sentimentality and state it plainly. But in this, as in all things else, the majority of men have subverted the law of nature and have promulgated the theory that they, the actual earners of wealth, owe little to women who mere ly raise children and preside ov: r the liome which they, the men. Lave fonnd M, and which they clone work t sus tain. This aligns maternity and h'-nin tej'ping to an i::f'ri'T position and il;ices the mother and the heart of the house hold in the attitude of d pi ndent, who must 1 content with whatever the hus band and father sees iit to give her, din regarding common justice and that which is lic-r rightful due the ahsi.lute and final division of all that accrues through his work and her economy. Tlie increasing love of luxury among wen, the comfort which club life pro vides, with emigration from thickly populated centers to rt mote fields of in dustry, have reduced the number of riar riapeable men in many states. This, with the unwillingness of tlie few to ai-oept the dependence of the nature de scribed alwve. has also largely increased the number of unmarried women v ho choose to, or are forced to, provide for themselves. Whether they belong to one class or the other, it remains none the less certain that whatever income they are to have they mn-t acquire by thir otd efforts. Tliey have no other alter hative, unless they are willing to accept the d ist.tstff ul charity of wealthy friends .r r- latives, or join the army of the List, w hose brief season of ease and luxury almost inevitably cutis ia the prison, the almshouse or th5 potter's field. And yet. again and again, and still again, solemn exhortations are sounded from the pulpit warning "woman" from di sorting the home, her proper sphere, to join the feverish multitudes who crowd the marts and highways of the world. Women themselves, weak, ftiol ish and unthinking, selfishly satisfied with their own seclusion, echo the sense less and cruel command. Tor it is cruel, as heartless as thesug-p-stionof the pampered rrcuch qneen whose subjects, starving for bread, were advised "to put a chicken in tlitv. " The wife of a famous Union general pome time ago deplored the exodus of woman from the home into business and tlie professions. In all her life she had never known want or the lack of a thing she dtssind. After the death of her hus b:uid friends and the government, in rtjisideration of his service, provided for her so that she might enjoy the same comfort to the end of lier days. Not a d .liar of the generous income was the result of her own personal effort, and but for the bounty of the country she might have learned something" of the stress which forces other women to seek an honest livelihtxd for themse lves. The situation has passed beyond the pov. -.-r of any human being to alter it. Instead of decreasing, no matter what tl;e result may be, the exodus will con tinue. Tin isc women who have braved the world have tested through experience the sweets of independence and the satis faction which conies from being able to do work and do it well, which not only provides a living for the present, but in dependence in old ago. Poverty, help-le.v.-ness bread and board that are bit terly grudged have hurried many a wo man to her grave whose old age, had she been able to benefit by the new condi tions i f today, would have been serene and unclouded. There is no fctr tliat women will ceae to marry ar.d to aid in founding homes, but the skilled workwoman of the twentieth century will be able to de mand tliat equality in mattt rs of domes tic authority and finance which Ler ig uorant sister dared not ask, hampered by the limitations of herses, aggravated by her "ignorance. A new era has dawned. Neither prejudice, nor conservatism, nor the combined hostility of church and state can order the sun to stand stilL The day of miracles, in this direction at least, has passed.

An observation via made during the investigation which may go far to atvount for the uu satisfact'y character of the determina tions of f.rmer experiments. me ciiui uinu-aity to be overcome was tlie great weakeniug of the inten tly of the dispersed rays of the beam of light decomposed to form the spectrum, a weakening caused by the distribu tion t'f the incidence of tlie ravs over a 1-irger area and by their absorption aud reflection in passing through the lease? and prisms. It was found also, in working with the electric light, that the iower of the blue and violet rays was furthtT iin Iiaind in other words, that they were alopped by the material (glass) through v hieh they Lad to ass. The effect f'the glass was practically the same as that of mi.-t or Laze in the fcimo.-phcre, which so filters out the blue violet rays that tlie light of a dull day was of little effect in the author's tsjieri meats. These difficulties were overcome by j using quartz instead ol glass, villi which it w as possible to obtain a vejy pure spectrum mfncir-ntlr rich in blue and violet rays to kill the sporej in a few Lours. The author found it easy to obtain satis'actory results in the ram mer with solar rays, even with glass letiMV, mirrors, etc, and exposures ot five or six hours, but in winter the ex purc retjuired to be so long as to be almost impracticable.

One of the most pleasant as well as famous tourist resorts in New South Wales is situated on tho coast some 70 miles south of Sydney. The center of this district is Kiama, a picturesque aud thriving town surrounded by rich agricultural country, and which has keen built upon an old igneous flow of basalt that Las solidified and crystal lized into hu?e columns of what is pop ularly called "bluestono. " This foroia tion "is seen to perfection on tlie west coast of Scotland aud north of Ireland at St. ringal's cave aud other places, aud those who are juainted with the rugged ap!eurance ot the coast in these places can form a pood idea of the ap pearance of the New South Wales coast at this point Kiama, unlike other tour ist resorts, can be thoroughly enjoyed in either fair or Btormy weather, and those who visit the town w hen a good gale is blowing have an opportunity of witnessing a sight the like of which does not exist elsewhere on our globe.

This "Blowhole is a singular nat ural phenomenon, and consists of a per tiendicnhir hole, uearlv circular, with a diameter of about ten yards across, and has the appearance ol being me crater nf an extinct volcano. This is connected with the ocean by a cave about 100 yards in length, the seaward opening of which is in all resnects similar to St. Fiugal's cave on the west coast of Scotland, tlie same perpendicular basaltic columns forminc the side walls of each. Into this cave towering waves rush daring stormy weather, and as tho cave extends some distance farther into the rock than the "Blowhole," on the entrance of each wave this cavity becomes full of compressed air, which, when the tension becomes too great, blows the water with stupendous force up to the perpendicu lar opening.

Bees as Fertilizers of Fruit When the jieach is grown in glass houses and forced by artificial heat out of its season, it is necessary to oIU'iiix the stigma of such flower by artificial means either by a small brush or some other prtioess. The use of the brush Is exiensive and tedious and is not always successful ; much of the fruit dropping at the stoning jieriod. To save lalsir in transferring the miI1cii some trees were sprayed when in full bloom with warm and others with cold water. This proved very unsatisfactory, more fruit dropping at the stoning pcritid than in the case of trees polleuiy.ed with the brush. As a further exjieriment a hive of liecs was placed in the house when the trees began to bloom. This was iu No-vemla-r and a heavy fig prevailed for 1 days and although the flowers were constantly oh ning not a liee showed itself. During the night of Nov. loth, tlie fog lifted and the next morning was bright and clear, causing the pollen to burst Then the bees came from the hive and kept up their work for S or 9 days. The result was that not a single peach was observed to drop at the stoning season. So great was the quan tity of fruit it was necessary to thin out One tree in the house was securely pro tected, so that liecs could not gain ac cess to it and all of the fruit dropped at the stoning period. These facts show the value of bees to the horticul turist and no fruit grower should be without thenu Bulletin S4, Oregon Agricultural F.xpt. Stat'n, Corvallis. Buried in Her Piano.

Exchange. False Diagnosis. La Grippe is confounded by many jiersons with a severe attack of catarrh, which in some respects resembles the former. These individuals suffer severely with pain about the forehead, eyes and ears, with soreness in the throat and stop page of the nasal mssages, and in fact, are incapacitated for work of any kind for days at a time. These are catarrhal surfcrers. Ely's Cream Balm haslieen used with the best results iu such cases. The remedy will give instant relief.

The shot-making trade has a legend which recites that back in the days when guns were shot off by lighted matches and were swiveled to supports because they were too big and clumsy to be lifted to the shoulder, and when all shot was moulded as bullets are to-dny, some workmen were fastening an iron grating to the wall of a castle. They hail cut out the hole in the stone, aud, after placing the iron in the hole, mured some lead in to hold the iron in place, just as they do to-day. Some of the lead escaped and ran over the edge of the wall into the moat In-low. Soon afterward the attention of the soldiers was attracted to the lead in the clear water, aud, dipping it out, they found that the metal in falling from the height had lie'oome globules. After that those soldiers made their bullets by sprinkling melted lead over the castle wall into the waters of the moat Hardwire. Hay Fever, Catarrh and Deafness. Hay Fever has not the same cause in all cases. It Is positively certain, that, iu many cases it is from over sensitive branches of nerve in the nose. Dr. Sadler, 804 Penn Avenue, Pittsburgh, has found some cases where a touch on a certain ortion of the inside of the nose caused a cough instantaneously, with watery discharge from the nose and eyes. Iast. season several cases suffering from severe hay fever were relieved immediately, and remained free from all the symptom upon ap plication of electricity to the sensitive parts. Catarrh of the nose and throat predisposes to an attack, and Ieafncss is caused in three out of four cases by Catarrhal inflammation of the nose aud throat. It is very rarely necessary to remove the 1 sines from the nose, as lieing practiced by a few spfialists of the radical flats. Obstruction of the nose and mouth in breathing is most frequently caused by thickening of the soft tissues and not deformity of the bones. Consult Dr. Sadler before sub mitting to such unnecc-tsarily severe and expensive operations. Dr. Sadler is conservative and thorough in his work, and his 20 years experience make his methods reliable aud safe. Thirteen Years Experience. Miki.kk'h Falls, Mass.

To work with iswr tools, and to sow jKMir seed. To buy at public sales what is not needed because it sells cheap. To plant an orchard and then allow cattle to browse the trees; to leave vacant places in a young orchard; to allow a young orchard to remain in grass. It is shiftless to allow weed to oc cupy any portion of the farm, and very shiftless to allow bushes to oc cupy several rods of ground along the fence rows. It is thoughtless and a very danger ous thing for a farmer to put his name on jiajter presented by a stranger. Also, too, on the notes of friends aud neighbors. It is a short-sighted policy to elect to the township and county ofllces the men who cannot support themselves in ordinary pursuits of life. It is also costly. It is reckless to buy trees of an utter stranger; also, groceries, spices and such articles as can easily lie adultera ted. Nine times out of ten one will be cheated bv so doing. Such a multitude of serious, dis tressing, and often fatal maladies spring from a disordered liver.

With these and others, it is important, whether at home, at the seashore or in the country, that some thought be given to diet, and as further assistance to Nature, a good building up medicine like Hood's Sarsaparilla bail liest lie resorted to. If the digest ion is poor, liver deranged ami frequent headaches seem to lie the rule, Hood's will change all this and enable every one to return to their homes ami busi ness in a refreshed state of mind and bodily health.

Trop uiaiin, it will be remembered, was the notorious French murderer who slew seven families in one day. Ho was guil lotined. Iluring the Paris Commune in May, lsTl, the "Beds" had designs upon the mausoleum of Xaxileon I, with a view of destroying it and burying tliu remains of the great Kmpemr iu the same gJuve with Tropnianu. but they did not carry out their scheme. ' "It is the best patent medicine in the world" is what Mr. K. M. Hartman, of Marqunm, Oregon, says of ChamUT lain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Itcmcdy. "What leads me to make this assertion is from the fact that dysentery in its worst form was pre valent around here last summer and it never took over two or three doses of that remedy to effect a complete cure."

The couple has the distinc tion of lieing the high contracting parties iu the first wedding that has ever occur red in the Niagara tower.

Strong, principal of the public tchiNils at Anderson, Cab, says: "I have used CiiamU-rlain's Pai:i Balm and have found it an excellent remedy for lameness ami slight wounds."
