Woman Features in this Column: The Suffragist of Today Progress of the Movement An Appeal to Mothers Time was when woman's suffrage was associated with short hair, bloom ers and denunciations of the tyrant man. This type of suffragist, I regret fo say, was so striking that she yet re mains In the memory of the more con servative citizen, causing him to shud der at the very thought of the eman cipation of his womankind. It Is for the benefit of this man and of bis wife, who probably shares his views, and of others like them, who haven't kept abreast of the movement, that I want to speak a few words about the mod ern American suffragist. I absolutely believe she represents the better element of her sex. She Is no longer a subject for cartoons. As MRS. QAmtlELLE STEWART MULLlNElt. far as appearance goes, she Is well groomed, becomingly dressed and has a diplomatic rather than uu aggressive manner. Her mind Is logical, her man ner of argument calm and her person ality magnetic, and she is anything but mannish. The suffrage movement of today counts thousands of women who, like Mrs. Henry Vlllard, Mrs. Clarence Mnckay and Mrs. Gabrlello Stewart Milliliter, arc noted for their social tact nnd charm ns well ns for their Intellectual qualities. The present suffrage movement In this country frowns upon the mascu line woman. It makes, on the other hand, tin appeal to the mothers of the land that It tnny help them do more for their children and to the homo women In every state In the Union that they may be able to votojfor laws that will protect the fireside and better existing conditions. Woman's suffrage wants the support of every wife nnd every mother, and It hopes sooner or inter to have the sane tlon of every husband nnd every fa titer. The movement is for the better ment of the entire human race. I,et me quote from a recent speech of Mrs, Gabrlello Stewart Mulliner:. I do not start from the mistaken stand point that all men are uneducated, tricky, dishonest, lncnpablo voters and otjlcehold' ers. who have made a failure of our gov ernment, and that all women are refined, uplifted, educated angels who will reform the government and turn the United States Into a forest of Arden or a Utopia but I do say that thero Is somethlns wrong with the present system when, building on our constitution, which prom Iscs so -much, the people ot America can be laboring under the burden of so much Buffering and want nnd Ignorance and crime. Some one has made mistakes and some one has misappropriated the functions of Belt government when there is a bread Ino and when thero are supplies or poi soncd food, when the milk supply Is dead ly, when children cannot get schooling, when people starve to death, when men ind women commit suicide because life Is so cheerless. There Is something wrong. Men have had the affairs of the nation In their control now since 1776, and they have not been able to work out tho problem to tho satisfaction of any one, themselves Included. I have no desire for suffrago for women for the Bake of casting a ballot, but It Is what It stands for. It means that ono jan have a voice In selecting the men who make and who enact the laws. "We women who pay taxes," says Mrs. Henry Vlllard, "who by ever in creasing hundreds of thousands nro compelled to earn our livelihood in shops, In factories and In offices, arc simply raising the banner of 1770, 'N6 taxation without representation. " Mrs. Clarence Mnckay is devoting her largo forruno to the advancement of tho cause. She has opened head quarters in the Metropolitan Life building, New York, where she works earnestly every day. "To my mind," she said recently, "the real importance of giving women votes would bo found In this that a multitude of practical questions which are now left quite unsolved would be taken up and solved. We see our op nortunlt.v. There are schools which educate tho children of the womcii of today, nnd these need constant care. There are the Injustices and tho op pression suffered by these women who have to make a living for themselves. There arc hospitals to be worked for and public eharitlea to be Improved. The woman of leisure should devote her energies to working with her sex, standing shoulder to shoulder with tho wage earners, ready to help the cause which unites nil women upon a com mon ground because they are women nnd for the Bake of their womanhood." MAUD ROBINSON TOOMBS. Interior Clothesline. The clothesline or hanger ns illus trated herewith Is Intended for use In the house during wet or cloudy weath er. Tho frame la made with a center piece of round wood about one Inch in diameter and any length to suit the size of the room. The wood may be square If a round piece cannot be secured. Tho two cud pieces nre of the same material nnd eighteen inches long. The pieces are held together at THE INDOOR DRIER. the connections with small braces made from Iron. The frame Is hung to tho celling on three one-half inch brass screw pulleys. Clotheslines are stretched between the end pieces on' which to hang the clothes. Loading the Wagon. It Is generally believed that the load pulls easier If put well forward on tho wagon. But this Is not so on the or dinary witgou, where the hind wheels :iro larger tliau the front ones. Should the wheels be equal in size the load should be equally distributed. If the trucks are so low dowu that the horses have an upward pull on the load, then It would be all right to pui the load well forwnrd. The load should be proportioned to the surface contact of the wheels. A large wheel sinks less than a small one. There fore the load should be heaviest on the hind wheels. Distribute the weight so that no one wheel or no one side Is carrying the greater share, lest It make tho draft excessive for the ton nage carried. Wash Eggs For Market. It would In a sense be better to wash eggs sent to market than to send them in n dirty condition. But washed eggs have no keeping quali ties. The water appears to dissolve the gelatinous substance which seals the pores of the shell, and air is thus admitted and soon starts decomposi tion. The better way to treat dirty eggs Is to take n woolen rag only slightly moistened with water and gently rub oft the dirt. Two Turns. "Mary," said tho mistress, address ing her new servant, "turn the flap Jacks, quick!" Hurrying to the sizzling pan, the servant did so. "Thnt was well done. Mary. You didn't break one of them. Stop! Why nre you turning them over again?" "They say ono good turn deserves another, mum." Judge. A Walter's Mistake.

Diner Then you have uo excuse! Punch. 3 THE FERTILITY OF EQQ8. . Wo read much about feeding for fer tility of eggs, as if there was a special method of ration to charge an egg with embryos. Put that; theory under a hen, and sh will desert the nest. Just use the old method and furnish your hens with grit and shell, green food, cut bone, fresh water, pure air and good grain In deep litter for food and blood circulator. Add to this a lively, loud voiced, strong lunged, broad backed, strong legged, full breasted, busy male. That's our plan to bring bright eyed ruffle fluflics, nnd our egg customers will tell you It works. Yes, we'll let you feed soft mash, too, even If the goose bono prophets say you shouldn't. To test their theory- that mash brings infertiles or weak chicks, we fed a pen on an equal threo part crumbly mash of raids, cornmcal, bran and scrap almost exclusively and never get more or hardier chicks from any other ration. You get Infertile eggs when hens are overworked for winter eggs, weakened by Inbreeding and disease, ovcrfat. overfed, underfed, nearly dead and im mature; when they have been burned with red pepper, doped with egg tonic and drugged with cattle powder and- when there are too many hens to a pen or too many roosters to a hen. FEATHERS AND EGGSHELL8. "Why don't my pullets lay?" is n frequent question sent us. Your pul lets may be of age and fed correctly, but thero Is a factor often disregard ed. They should be bred from lnylug ancestry; otherwise they nre only prof itable for feather beds and potple. On Oct. 1, 1008, there were 1,071,758 cases of ojjgs in cold storage, valued at $12,533,185. To advance the price or ders were only half filled. If people would only take the hint nnd put up eggs In water glass they could make the trust cry, "Alas, alas I" A genius Is raising poultry, growing mushrooms and running a frog pond. What a list of delicacies 1 Gather tho goose eggs quickly, lest they get chilled, and keep the ducks In till 10 In the morning, or they will lay In the water. A man Is not to bo blamed for al lowing his wife to trim the Incubator lamps. Just us It takes a good worn an to keep a fool man straight, so It takes u woman to trim a lamp wick straight. The Incubators are working double time to get out the early chicks. Nev er run a machine with a smoking lamp or one thnt leaks. It's a good plan to have extra lamps, thermometers, etc, on hand for accidents. Make a resolution In the spring that 'ou will cut out sloppy cornmeal for chicks. Feed them dry ground mixed grains to get the gains. Be sure when you order eggs or birds to mention where you saw the deal er's advertisement appear. Nearly all the journals, If this Is done, refund your loss and help bring the guilty party to Justice. Tlie Insurable incubator is now for sale. Whether the machine Is fire proof or uot depends on the man who tends the machine. Always have sev eral fire extinguishers iu your incu bator nnd brooder houses for emer gencies. Ono reason for such poor hatches Is tho mating of a male to too many hens. This Is often the trouble on the farms whore sucli large flecks are kept. One male to fifteen hens Is correct. Tho next time you go among the chickens play rooster and crow. Every timo you crow the hens will nod their heads. So ought all tho sisters applaud man when he does something com mendable. You must take tho cat iu hand when tho chicks appear. Introduce them. You will be surprised how quickly Tab will understand. Cats do not bother white so much as colored chicks, as the latter look like birds. In hatching season feed meat to the cats, nnd they'll only 'bother the long tailed rats. It is a criminal offense to poison cats nnd dogs. To make dumb nntiuals suf fer tho lingering death that such pol Bon often infllcls is heinous. If your neighbors' pots bother you, have a quiet brotherly If Ik with him, nnd all will come right. "My wife Is n lecturer, and I am an entertainer," said Hobbs. "Indeed! I knew your wife nppcared In public, but I did not know that you ever did." "Oh, I don't appear in public! I stay at home nnd entertain ' tho baby." London Fun. isriOKEi BOB" HAMILTON 10 CENT CIGAR.

Mr. Hoghmore, to whose mem ory is a slab In the church at Cats-, hoge, Leicestershire, England, was "a little queer." It seems that tho rev erend gentleman died in January, 1880, leaving nil of his property, valued at $3,500, to a railroad porter. This queer old preacher kept one servant of each nex, whom he locked up every night. His last employment of an evening was to go the rounds of his premises, let loose the dogs nnd fire oft his gun. He lost his life In a curious manner. Starting out to let out his servants, the dogs fawned upon him and throw him Intoa pond of water. The servants heard his cries, but, being locked up, could not render assistance, so the old man was drowned. When the Inventory of his property was taken, he was found to be the owner of 80 gowns, 100 pairs of trou- Hers, 100 pairs of boots, 400 pairs of cfcoes. 80 wigs (although he had plenty of natural hair), 50 dogs, 00 wagons nnd carts, 30 wheelbarrows, 240 razors, 80 plows, 50 saddles and 222 pickaxes and shovels. He surely was "a little queer." After Waterloo. This morning (four dajB after the great battle) I went to visit the field of Waterloo, but on arrival there the sight was too horrible to behold. I felt sick in the stomach nnd was obliged to return. The multitude of carcasses, tho heaps of wounded men with manglcil limbs, unable to move nnd perishing from not having their wounds dressed or from hunger, ns the allies were, of course, obliged to take their Rurgcons nnd wagons with them, formed a spectacle I shall not for get. At Hougomont, where thero is an orchard, every tree is pierced with bullets. The barns nre all burned down, and in the courtyard It is said thev have been obliged to burn up ward of n thousand carcases, an awful holocaust to the war demon. From "Reminiscences of European Travel, 1815-1810," by Major W. F. Frye. A Monument to a Horse. There are some very curious monu ments to animals scattered over the countryside. Tho one with the most remarkable story crowns Farley mount, near Winchester. Underneath it lies burled, as an inscription on the exterior records, "A horse, the prop. erty of Taulet St. John, Esq., that In the month of September, 1733, leaped Into a chalk pit twenty-five feet deep a-fox hunting, with his master on his back,, nnd In October, 1734, won the Hunters' plate on Worthing downs nnd was rode by his owner nnd en tered In the. name of Beware Chalk Pit." This Inscription, which Is n copy of the original, was restored by the Right Hon. Sir William Ileathcote, Bart., in 1870. A duplicate is In the Interior, which Is provided with three Beats intended for the accommodation of wayfarers. Wide World Magazine. Tho Treatment of Erysipelas. Aspinwall Judd of New York rec ommends tho uso of strong carbolic acid painted on tho surface in cases of erysipelas until the surface Is whiten ed and then followed by swabbing with alcohol. The treatment must go a half Inch beyond the border of the eruption to destroy all tho germs. The unbearable Itching, burning and throb bing are relieved at once, fever soon falls, and general symptoms are re lieved. Tlie author has treated suc cessfully sixty-seven cases and five cases In which It failed. No scarring results. The superficial layers of the skin come oft ns Hi mild sunburn, and the complexion Is improved. Medical Record. Underground In Paris. Underground passages for pedes trians are to bo built at various points beneath the Champs Elysees, which the constant stream of motor cars now renders impassable from morning till oveulng. Tho congestion of other Par- Is streets also has grown to an alarm lng extent, nnd all thoroughfares around the Opera are blocked with traffic for hours, morning and after noon. If tho Champs Elysees tunnels proyo a success others will be exca vated in the center of l'nrls, and foot passengers will In future cross not over streets, but under them. If women will make practical poll tics wireless, men will gladly leave the whole field to them. Of course trade in possum meat is now looking up. PROFESSIONAL CARDS.
