Russian Wcmen’s Votes.
It is not generally known that Rus-
sian women have practically the par-
liamentary franchise on the same
terms as men, except that they must
not go personally to the polls, but
must transfer their vote to a male rep-
resentative.—Anglo-Russian.
> : Pleased By Novelty.
The latest recipe for pleasing that
. supposedly capricious individual ‘man
is to vary one’s charms. The woman
who has worn toques and taflor mades
for some time should change to large
hats and pelerines. Her husband, who
has grown so accustomed to her cus-
tomary appearance that -he fails to
notice her at all, will unconsciously be
attracted and pleased by the novelty.
Novel Shoestring.
Women have been prominent inthe’
field 'of invention, and there are over
.3500 different devices credited to their
ingenuity. Of "the list of things in-
vented by women about 90 percent are
devoted to the home, the. kitchen and
to women’s dress. , The records in the
‘patent offices almost tell the history
of woman and her progress during
the past hundred years. The first pat-
ent given a woman in the Nineteenth
"century was granted to Mary Kier in
1809 for “straw weaving with silk or
thread”-—the probable forerunner eof
American matting. One of the most
recent inventions by woman is a shoe-
string that wont come untied.—

Florence Nightingale Honored.
The freedom of the city of London
was bestowed on Florence Nightin-
gale, the organizer of the nurses in
the Crimean war. The ceremony took
place in the Guildhall in the presence
of a large gathering, which included
many doctors and nurses. The aged
nurse—Miss Nightingale, is in her
88th year—was too infirm to attend,
and was represented by her nephew.
_ The usual costly gold casket was omit-
ted from the ceremony in accordance
with Miss Nightingale’s wish, and one
of oak and bronze substituted. At her
request, too, the $500 usually expend-
ed for the golden casket will be given
to charity. The Lord Mayor of Lon-
don officiated at the ceremony, and
among those present were directors of
the general army and navy hospitals,
representatives of the Red Cross soci-
ety, and deputations from several
girls’ schools,
Sir Joseph Dimsdale, the city cham-
berlain, in making the presentation,
explained that the city regretted by
the unexplained omission of a former
generation, that Miss Nightingale had
not been honored in this way half a
century ago. :
The Leap Year Tradition.
The story of the lsap year tradition
is that Saint Bridget asked Saint Pat-
rick to confer a boon upon women and
to do something to prevent so many
women who would make good, wives
from dying as spinsters. Saint Pat-
rick refused to put woman on an equal-
ity with men, but he consented that
one year in seven.they might have
whatever rights they chose to assert.
At Saint Bridget's solicitation this
was reduced from one year in seven
to one in four. Further, Saint Bridget
chose leap year because it was the
longest year and gave spinsters one
“more day of privilege than ordinary
years. :
There are two Saint Bridgets—one
the daughter of a Swedish prince who
lived in the fourteenth century and
became the female saint of Sweden,
and the better known Saint Bridget,
whose name is also spelled Brigit,
who was born in Ireland north. of
Dublin, became a nun and founded the
monastery of Kildare. She was so
beautiful that to escape the many of-
fers of marriage she received she
prayed that she might lose her good
looks. Her prayer was granted, and
the remainder of her life was spent in
bringing up young girls. ;
According to the generally accepted’
dates Saint Bridget was only ten years
old when Saint Patrick died, but-that

how tired your back is or how plunged
your thoughts in everlasting groove of

colored dress will have upon your
drooping spirits is almost inconceiv-

that soul has been more sinned

President Buchanan and mistress of
the White House during her uncle's
term, a sum of money was set aside
i to erect a marker at her uncle’s birth-
place. This monument has been
finished.
| The marker is pyramidal in shape,
thirty-one feet high and thirty-eight
feet square. The body of the monu-
ment is composed of native stones,
showing the weather marks, many
being covered with moss. The stones
are’set in eement, of which over.three
and one-half carloads were used. The
inscription plate and seat are made
of hammered American gra’ granite.
‘The plate is six by two and one-half
‘feet and the letters are three inches
high. The inscription is as follows:
“This monument marks the birth
place of James Buchanan, fifteenth
President of the United States. - Born
April 23,.1791. Died June 1, 1868.”
The monument stands near the
cabin in which President Buchanan
was born. The country round about
is wild and has not changed greatly
since the time the President, as a boy,
played in the mountains. The mon-
ument will be inclosed by a neat iron
fence and the ground inside will be
graded and sodded for a distance of
fifty feet.—Pittsburg Dispatch.

lie in the way. These obstacles have
been classified as mental, physical,
environment, ignorance and lack ‘of
faith. The endeavor is to remove
‘these by a knowledge of law, bring-
‘ing the soul into harmony with the
laws of nature and God. But in the
treatment of all cases which proper-
11y ceme under the control of physical,
mental or spiritual laws there must
{be a willingness on the part of the
j patient to lay bare the secret of their
heart to either God or man, before
another can get under the burden and
assist in its carrying or destruction.
This may seem a radical measure, but
{it is an axiom as clear as two and
two make four. The lack of confes-
sion to Almighty God; the lack of res-
titution to wronged men; and the
lack of confidence in Christian broth-
erhood have caused and are causing
spiritual poverty, mental distress and
physical suffering more than we at
first give thought to. Absolute sur-
render of secret sin, full restitution
and sincere confidence are essentials
in burden bearing, for full relief to
soul, mind and body.
| We are to. be understood as treat-
ing the subject of confession to God,
sincere confidence in men and resti-
tution to the wronged man, in their
relation to mental and physical condi-
tions, and not in any ecclesiastical
teaching whatever. Just downright
practical common sense. Can our
steps be made lighter? Can we put
sunshine into our countenance? Can
we enjoy better health in every way
by the means of an open, eclean-
breasted confession? In the thought
; of to-day we place to one side all the
{various suggestions of the many
named schools, and come directly face
to face with God and man. Although
at times we act very much as
. Naaman, the leper, who spurned the
prophet’s instructions and was told
by his servant: “If the prophet had
bid thee do some great thing, wouldst
thou not have done it?” Why seek
some mysterious way, when God has
made it so easy to get at the cause?
Way carry a burden when relief can
be had by throwing off the albatross
which hangs about our necks?
In 1857 Lady Georgiana Fullerton,
of England, published her book called
“Ellen -Middleton.” At the time of
writing she was a member of the
Tractarian party of the Anglican
Church, led by Newman, Manning
must be understood in the question '
of restitution or making good, not in
a financial sense oniy, but to make
good in everything we have made
wrong. You say, this is too revolu-
tionary. This may be to some, but
a sharp knife is necessary to dig deep
for the cutting of the roots of cancer.
How in God’s name can new thought,
or substituted thought, or faith cure,
or knowledge of any law, or sugges-
tion of any principle bring desired
relief, when we will not pay—-the
price? It’s not always unbelief or
lack of faith that is the hindering
rock; it's because it’s going to cost
something. You say it’s too radical,
it’s against common sense, it will up-
set society. (Why, men will be re-
vealed in their true character; some
will be found to be thieves who al- |
ways posed as honest; some will be
revealed . as hypocrites who wore
halos; some will be discovered to
have used any means for the end, so
the end was all right.” The price of
virtue, of honor, of blood has been
paid for my ends. What! @ Shall I
make it known, to have heart's ease
and a new health? We admit some
physical conditions are caussd by
mental and moral diseases. We ad-
-mit some physical conditions are not
caused by mental or moral diseases,
and are willing to submit in the most
heroic way to any measure of suffer-
ing if we can only be saved to this
life. What is the reason of our posi-
tive refusal to submit to the same
principle as applied to mental and
moral diseases?
It is at this point the question of
confession comes in. We feel we are
safe with God. His eternal quiet
holds the secret of our hearts, but His
eternal command is also to make
good. What shall be our attitude
toward those whom we have
wronged? Many instances have
passed where restitution is impossi-
ble, but we may not have passed the
point of confession for forgiveness.
God grant that in these fearfully
serious times we may be led by the
eternal light of His Holy Spirit to do
that which is right both to God and
man.

Herds of Elk in Kansas.
Up to fifty or sixty years ago big
game abounded in this vicinity. Buf-
falo, elk, deer; antelope and bear were
as plentiful as rabbits are to-day.
During the later years of his life the
famous hunter, Daniel Boone, came
annually to what is now Jefferson
County to hunt.
The noted surveyor, John McCoy,
who surveyed the Fort Leavenworth
reservation and most of the Indian
reservations of Kansas, says: ‘One
evening on going into ‘camp
Stranger Creek, on our way out, less
than twenty miles from Cantonment
Leavenworth, a herd of elk, estimat-
ed to number 200 or 300, was en-

was in 1830.) Captain Martin in
1818 camped for the winter with
three companies of United States
rifiemen on Crow island, ten miles
above Leavenworth, and during that
winter killed betwen 2000 and 3000
deer, besides great numbers of bears
and turkeys.””—Potter Kansan.
