REVIEW OF WOMAN SUFFRAGE.
Alice Stono Blackwcll gives the fol
lowing brief review of tbo woninn suf
frago movement: "Sixty years ago'wo
men could not vote anywhere. In 1845
Kentucky gave school suffrage to
widows. In IS'31 Kansas gave it to all
women. In 1SG9 England gavo munic
ipal suffrago to single women and
widows, and Wyoming garo full suf
frage to all women. School suffrage
was grantod in 1S75 by Michigan and
Minnesota, in 1S7J by Colorado, in
1878 by New Hampshire and Oregon,
in 187!) by Massachusetts, in 1880 by
New York and Vermont. In 1881 mu
nicipal suffrage was extended to the sin
gle women and widows of Scotland.
Nebraska gavo won: on school suffrago
iu loos, ana Wisconsin in 1SS0. Iu
188G school suffrago was granted in
Washington, and muuicipal suffrago
to singlo women and widows in On
tario nnd New Brunswick. In 1887
municipal suffrago was extended in
Kansas to all women aud school suff
rage in North and South Dakota, Mon
tana, Arizona aud New Jersey. In tho
same year Montana gavo tax paying
women tho right to vote apou all
quostious submitted to tho taxpayers.
In 1801 school suffrage was granted in
Illinois. In 1802 muuicipal suffrage
was extended to single women nnd
widows in tho province of Quebec. Iu
1893 school suffrage was granted in
Connecticut, aud full suffrago in Col
orado and New Zealand. Iu 1891
school suffrago was granted in Ohio,
a limited municipal suffrago ia Iowa,
and parish and district suffrage in
England to women, both married nud
single. In 18:10 suflrage has been ex
tended to the womou of Utah."
A widow's weddiso.
Etiquette governing tho wodding of
a widow has been recently reorganized,
and, temporarily at least, is finding
high vogue among certain great ladies
who ore making second matrimonal
vontnres. Tho widow's engagement
ring is now a peridot, which in reality
is an Indian chrysolite and a deep
leaf-green in color. The peridot ring
is set about with diamonds; and when
it arrives tho lady gives her first en
gagement ring to her eldest daughter
and her wedding ring to her eldest
son.
Ono week before the wedding i
stately luncheon is given to the near
est and dearest of tho old friends of
the bride-to-be. After tho engage
taunt's announcement she appears at
no publio functions. At the altar her
dress may bo of any subdued shade of
satin. To make up for the absence of
veil and orange blossoms, profusions
of white Uco trim the skirt and waist
of the bridal gown en seeoudes noces.
Even the bonnet is of whito lace, and
the bouquet is preferably of white
orchids; and up the aisle tho lady
goes, hand in band with bcr youngest
child, no matter whether it is a boy
or a girl. Tho little ono wears au
elaborate whito costume, holdji the

well after scrubbing ; chango tho water
quite often ; rub the carpet well after
washing with a dry cloth, and open tho
doors and windows so as to dry tho
carpet as quickly as possible. New
York Observer.
PAPER CARrET IirNINOJ.
A carpet lining mado entirely from
wood and paper pulp is one of tho
nowest artioles to bo produced from
that seomingly unfailing source
paper. Carpet linings made from
manilla paper, folded in flat rolls,
or otherwise constructed, aro com
mon enough, but tho new typo of
lining is quite out of the ordinary.
Anything that is between two layers,
as- a carpot lining (which is between
the floor nnd the carpet), must bo
porous bo ns to allow tbo dirt that
works through the toxture of the car
pet to sift through to the door. Again,
the lining must be flexible and smooth.
It must also be moth proof.
These ends are obtainod by running
the pulp on the floor to an average
depth of one-quarter inch, which will
furnish a good, smooth, elastic founda
tion for the carpet. Tho pulp fills
every crack, bad place, depression, and
forms a perfectly-level surface. Ex
posuro to tho air dries tho composi
tion in a day or so. The carpet is
laid directly upon this surface, which,
boing absolutely smooth and just
elastic enough, makes tiro poorer
grades of carpets seem like tho softest
aud most costly of pile textures.

The following significant paragraph Is
taken from the Westiuinsfer (Eugluud) Re
view :
Thoro Is a common belief that alcohol
gives new strength and energy after fatigue
sets iu. Tho sensation of fatigue is ouo of
tho safety valves of our maoliluo; to stifle
tho feeling of fatigue, iu order to do more
work, is like closing the safety valve so that
tho boiler may be overheated aud explosion
result, it Is commonly thought that alco
holic drinks aid digestion, but In reality the
contrary womu appear to be tho ease, lor it
has beou proven that a tienl without nloo
hol is moro quickly followed by hunger than
a meal with alcohol. In connection with the
sanitatiou ot armies thousands of experi
ments upon Inrge bodies of mcu have been
made, nud bavo led to the result that, Iu
peace or war, tnevory climate. iu heat, cold
or rain soldiers aro better able to oudiire
tho fatigue of tho most exhausting marches
when they are not allowed auy alcohol at
all. That mental exertions of all kinds aro
better undergone without alcohol is gener
ally admitted by mo.-t people wlio have made
the trial. It appears certain that from sev
enty to eighty per cent, of crime, eighty to
ninety percent. o nil wverty. and Irom ten
to forty per cent, of tho suic.dvs iu most civ
ilized countries are to be ascribed to alcohol.
FUESCH TEETOTALEBS.
Many of the leading men of France have
become teetotalers. Tha reason for this is
they claim they can uot atlalu tho success in
business they desire and drink. Among

writers.
A OOOD MOVEMENT ST WOUEV.
A largo number of women in Tittsburg,
J?ouu., huvo adopted a resolution pledging
themselves not to uso In their homes auy re
freshments containing liquor aud not to
patronize any caterers that uso liquors in

being circulated against nttuudauc- j at auy
biuiuuet or social fuuctiou iu a restaurant or
hotel known to add liquorsulllug to its other
business, und so far as possible to avoid
patronizing such hotels while traveling.
