For nearly half a century Su
san R Anthony has been presi
dent otthe Woman's Suffrage As
sociation. Now, on the eve of
her With birthday, she presses
to hand the guidance of that or
ganization over to younger hands.
The Woman Suffragists met in
convention last week in Washing
ton. February 15, Miss Anthony's
birthday will be celebrated with
much ceremony. A public meet
ing will be held in the Lafayette
Square Opera House and repre
sentatives from every State iu
the Union, as well as from for
eign lands, will be preseut to pay
tribute to the distinguished lead
er. Susan Browuell Anthony was
born iu South Adams, Mass.,
February 15, 1H20, the daughter
of DauioiaudLuey Head Authony.
Although born in Massachusetts
she was educated partly in New
York and partly in Philadelphia.
Though Mr. Authony was a cot
ton manufacturer aud oue of the
wealthiest men iu Washington
county, N. Y., he desired that
his daughter, Susan, should be
trained for some profession. Ac
cordingly she was educated in
tho best private schools for a
teacher, the only vocation then
thought of for girls, and at 15
Susan found herself toachiug a
Quaker family 'school at $1 a
week aud board.
- With a natural aptitude for the
work Susan was soon pronounced
a successful teacher, and to that
profession she devoted 15 years
of her life. She was an active
member of the New York State
Teacher's Association, aud iu their
conventions distinguished her
self by her able pleas for the rec
ognition of the principle of equal
rights in all honors aud respon
sibilities of the Association,
Miss Anthony has been deeply
interested iu the subject of tem
perauce. Iu 1H-I7 she joined the
Daughters of Temperance, aud iu
1851, organized tho New York
State Woman's Temperance As
sociation, the first open temper
ance! organization of . vomeu.
Miss Anthony was secretary of
this organization. Since 1'2
she identified herself with the
suffrage movement.
The most dramatic event of
Miss Anthony's life was her ar
rest and trial for voting at the
Presidential election of lH7l Ow
ing to what she afterward looked
upon as the mistaken kindness of
her counsel, who was unwilling
that she should bo imprisoned,
she gave bonds, which prevented
her taking her case to the Su
preme Court, a fact she always
regretted. When asked by the
Judge: "You voted as a woman,
did you not?" she replied: "No,
sir; I voted as a citizen of the
United States."
Miss Anthony was found guilty
of the offence by the Judge, not
by a jury, because it was a ques
tion of law. She was lined 100
and costs. Sho replied to the
Judge: "Resistance to tyranny
is obedience to God, aud I shall
never pay a penny of this unjust
claim," and she is rejoiced inuev
er having douo so.
Sho worked earnestly for wom
an suffrage, aud aud lost almost
10,000 in tho publication of a
weekly paper in New York known
as The Revolution, iu less than
two years time,
Fron 1870 to 1880 she spoke
every night iu the week for equal
freedom and power for womeu.
She accomplished much for
her movement, and her name
will g down aud stand unique as
a true uud bravo worker for her
cause.

"Papa," said the beautiful girl
as she sat dowu beside tho old
geutleinau aud pulled his paper
away, "Harold wants to have a
talk with you to-morrow."
"Oh, he does, does Ik;?" return
ed the old gentleman in a tone
that was not calculated to inspire
confidence in a young man.
"Well, what's the matter to
night!"' "He prefers, papa," replied the
beautiful giil, "to wait until you
are at your office."
"And what is the particular
1 advantage of my beiug at my of
fice;"'
'Hie can call you by the tele
phone there, and we have none in
tho house, you know," answered
the beautiful girl,
Hoys should early be taught
the heiuousness of the offence of
spitting, both from the basis of
decency and danger to public
health. It is much easier to pre
vent the formation of a habit of
this kind in a boy than to correct
it in a man, and heroin lies the
mother's part iu the warfare
against spitting.
No extension of woman's rights
is necessary lo make mothers 11
power in this neglected realm.
All that is required is a return to
;i duty once faithfully discharged
but iu the rush of modern life
neglected the vigilant maternal
supervision of boys daring the
years iu which their habits are
formed.
The boy who is taught that to
spit on the hearth the stops
anywhere about the house is an
infringement upon the rights of
the family that will not be toler
ated, is not likely to infringe
upon the sidewalks, the floors or
steps of public buildings, or iu
tho cars.
In the meantime, however,
there is a generation of full grown
active spitters to be reckoned
with iu the interest of the public
health, aud it is the opinion of
those who have given careful at
tention to the matter that these
can be reached more effectively
by the dissemination of knowl
edge, upon the subject than by
city ordinances or State law.
PAID 1 OR IT IN LAND.
Texas' new State capital did
not cost the commonwealth one
cent in money. It was built by
virtue of si eontnict with a com
pany which received kind in pay
ment. Texas has more land than
money, and rather than borrow
t h.e funds by issuiug bonds the
legislature decided to use some
of the surplus land iu this way.
The company is composed of Chi
cago men, aud it agreed to build
11 capital costing :s,000,00 for
about 3,00(1,000 acres of State's
laud. This it has done. The cap
ital has been completed to the
State's satisfaction, and the com
pany has secured full title to the
land. The laud thus secured
has been converted by them
into one vast ranch, the largest
iu the world. It stretches
through uino counties, out- of
which it covers entirely. The
area of this ranch is 5000 square
miles, or greater than that of tho
Slate of Connecticut, aud nearly
1, 100 square miles greater than
the combined areas of Rhode Is
land and Delaware. The graut
lies in tho northwestern corner
of Texas, is about 300 miles long,
and averages about 25 miles in
width. Its elevation varies from
2,300 feet at the southern to 4,700
at the northern eud. Over 1,500
miles of barbed wire fencing have
beeu used iu euclosiug the tn;ct
aud ruuuiug cross fences. The
greater part of the laud is fertile,
and there is plenty of water ou it.
The Drift From Farm to City.
New York city has an asso
ciation of a number of prominent
men aud women who are endeav
oring to solve tho question "Why
do so many persons leave the
country aud come to the city?"
The New York Commercial Ad
vertiser reports a conference held
lately at which George T. Powell
read a paper advocating the idea
that "an imperfect knowledge of
agriculture" furnishes at least
oue reason for this drift city
ward. About 1'5 people of note
were appointed a committee ou
"the promotion of agriculture."
Among the names were such fa
miliar ones as Professor Walter
A. Wyckoff of Princeton, Mrs.
Hallingtou Hooth, Professor I. P.
Roberts, Mrs. Josephine Shaw
Lovell; Abram S. Hewitt, William
E. Dodge and R. Fulton Cutting.
Among other measures consid
ered with the object of spreading
agricultural knowledge was tho
establishment of a school of hor
tieulture near New York city.
Mr. Powell, who lias boon seek
ing information for four years
past in regard to agricultural
conditions in New York state
from farmers, merchants, bank
kes aud manufacturers, says re
ports show a general inquiry
about and more frequeut sales of
farms and indicato a revival of
interest in land.

nnd whs sti'olliiifj down the crowded

On n sudden the pedesiriaa.i were
iijipnllcd to see him l!ln;,' himself at

On Ids face they found not the p::::i

This combination of sounds, the war

forgetting that he then stood seme

Tlio Nnvy Man's Life.
i "Laymen call our life exciting and

j said the navy man. "but It's a big mis
I take. What do we know of any of the

that may happen to be there nt the

I you get mighty tired of It.
"As for our life, what Is It but il

CHOCOLATE FIENDS.
There Are Tlnc Who fleoome Slaves
to This Nerve Soolhiiiu' I'linil.
"The manufacture of chocolate," said
J. It. Auso of ltra:;il, "Is a great Indus
try, (if nil the chocolate hean.t Import
ed Into the United States two-thirds go
to one linn In I'.oston, and tho other
third Is distributed among the other
manufacturers. The chocolates sohl
are of various grades. The Caracas
chocolate is supposed to be the best.
"If you take the various grades, tech
nically known as the Caracas, the
French, the (ierinau nnd so on, and
take n piece of each and place tlieln in
a pan of water and allow them lo dis
solve, nny expert will tell you which Js
the best chocolate. The better grades
will leave no sediment. The others
will. This Is explained by the fact
that In the cheaper grades the shell Is
ground up and used as a 'filler.' Tho
lighter the chocolate the better the
grade. The cheaper grades are dar'i
owin;; to the ground up shell.
"It is a iiuocr thing about chocolate
consumption. There are chocolate
fiends, just ns there are opium liends,
tobacco slaves and Ihpior slaves. 1
cannot tell you why It Is. but if people
begin to eat chocolate tho habit grows
upon them. I don't think any amount
of chocolate hurts any person. Of
courso the cheaper grades of chocolate
have n large percentage of sugar 111
them, and sugar Is to n certain ex
tent Injurious, but for the chocolate
Itself I don't think any one oats
enough to hurt him materially. In
contradistinction to the exhilaration of
alcoholic drinks chocolate seems to be
a soother. Persons who are nervous
and Irritable 11 ml It a food that In a
way calms nnd soothes and satisfies
them. It Is iueer, but It Is the truth.
The consumption of chocolate Is In
creasing enormously In the United
States." New York Tribune.

"One of the funniest experiences In
my hotel life," said an old clerk, "wus
that In which a man registered his
name without writing his town after
It, us Is the custom. When 1 called
his attention to it, he said: '1 hadn't
forgot It. but I feci a little lilt timid
about It. The last time 1 was away
from homo I registered tho name of
my town and the clerk asked mo
what state It was In. I got mail In
a minute and wouldn't stay iu the
house. 1 went to another house nnd
registered from Itrooklyu, and the next
tlay I appeared In tho paper credited
to New Yolk. 1 showed it to the clerk,
and he said he changed my place of
residence on the book because nobody
ever registered from Itrooklyu.'
"1 told Ihe mini ho need have no
four of having the Incident repeated
Iu our place provided he wanted to
write the name, lie said he would
think about il and asked to be shown
his room, so I saw no more of him un
til Into In the night, lie then asked
me If 1 had an alias, lie studied it
minutely for n few minutes, measured
distances with Ids two h.rls, like a
farmer, and Ihen he calleii me and
pointed out Hie inline id' II town. 1

" 'It Is Hie name all right,' lie replied,
'but I don't know whether the town
Is still there. It Is ihe booinlnest

It Is well known that Iu the manufac
ture of carbon stool microscopic dia
monds are formed, anil the curious
fact Is stated by The Scientific Press
that from the examination of a num
ber of steels from n variety of process
es Identical results were given. A
piece weighing .".(l(l grams was cut from
a lump of steel ami treated with nitric
acid, the Insoluble residue collected
being mainly graphic carbon. After
being washed with water It was boll
oil three limes with fuming nitric acid,
which partially dissolved tho residue,
hydrofluoric acid nnd then fuming sul
phuric being used, there then remain
ing nothing but graphite, which, after
being washed, was incited with chlo
rate of potash. The insoluble residue
obtained fell to the bottom of n vessel
tilled with Iodide of methylene, the lit
tle transparent octahedrons visible
through a microscope, which burned
ou a sheet of platinum without any
ash, being the diamonds.
