Touching 0 recent symposium (on woman), "Should tho Services of Women Bo Recognized by the State?" is the following opinion from Mrs. Victoria Woodhull-Martin. Mrs. Martin is tho founder and editor of Tho Humanitarian, published in Loudon. "Of course I believe that women should be duly honored, and if they distinguish themselves in any field science, art, literature, politics or any other field the same rewards should be open to them as men.

But I do not approve of a special order or decoration for women only. It would suffice that they should bo eligiblo for all the existing orders for men, from whioh women ore now debarred by a mere acoident of sex. I am in favor of woman competing on equal terms with man in all spheres and receiving equal rewards, no more and 110 les3. Then the best will come to the front without distinction of sex. To me orders and decorations matter little.

They are of no value in themselves. 'Honor, not is my motto, but, all tho same, there is no reason why women should be debarred from receiving tbem. In a country whore a woman is 'tho fountain of honor': this is surely a strange anomaly. The Single Woman. Under present conditions the married woman, even at her best estate, is always morn or less restricted and hampered.

SWIMMING TRICKS. Cow to Float Easily or to Stay Under thl Water a Long Time, Plain swimming, with its attendant living, treading water, floating and rolling in tbe warm sand, is quite good enough snort for most young people, but there are a number of tricks and games in swimming which will help to make the sport more fascinating than it is. Few people realize how very nearly! the human body comes to floating; your arm loosely in the water and will rest near the surface, fcuoyed in itl place by the pressure of the water. If it were not for the weight of the head in proportion to the weight of the body, a man would swim as easily and naturally as a horse cr a dog. With these facts in mind the good swimmer or floater keeps as much of his body under the surface of the water as he can.

On tbe same principle a swimmer may keep himself afloat by holding a very small piece of wood in each hand, provided he allows himself to sink deep into the water in the position shown in tho picture. Any boy or girl may readily test I this plan. It merely requires a littlej confidence in letting tbe body so deep into tho water. I A big Swede named Stromberg, who made himself famouB several years ago. as a swimmer, well knew this plan.j Sometimes in making long practice swims he took with him a compactr piece of cork four or five inches square1 by about two inches thick.

This he' fastened to the back of his head byj means of a small strap which ran' aronnd under his chin. When he grew, tired and needed a rest, he would turn on his back and sink deep into the wa-j ter. The cork float under his head was almost sufficient to buoy him up. A boy who falls overboard from ship, if ho keeps cool and does not tryj to raiso himself out of the water, as many frightened people do, can keep1 afloat for some time by paddling gen-1 tly, his clothing acting as a float until it beoomes well soaked. One of tho greatest sports "in swimming" may be had with a small rub-j ber tube 10 or 13 feet long.

Two large empty spools should be fastened to the' ends of tho tubo by crowding the rub- ber into the holo in the middle of which has first been enlarged with a jackknife. The swimmer allows one ofj the spools to float on the surface of the water or fastens it near a stone or log, on shore or next to a stako driven into tho water. Then ho places tho other! spool in his mouth and sinks out of sight under the water. Of course he can breathe through the tube and he can remain a considerable length of time without rising to the surface. Anyj boy will readily imagine the various pranks that may be played with suchi an invention.

It will also be found use- ful in diving for lost objects. Chicago 1 Busy and Not Afraid. Old Daddy Longlcgs, idling on a log, Greedily was watching a busy little bog. "By the way, I've had no dinner," Said hia legship, "today, 60 I'll catch and eat that crisp, brisk, busy lit-T tie thing." 60 he stirred himself for jumping with a qnick, sly spring, Robin Redbreast, sunning on a rail, All at once with pleasure waggled his saucy little tail. "Now, as I have had no dinner, said the redbreast, "today, I'll surpriso and crackle down Mr.

Longings, round and gray. 1 So he fluttered up aud perked his head in an expectant way, When Hiss Pussy Green Eyes, stretched along a bough, i Caught the fluttering of the redbreast's plumage just below. Bays puss, "As not a morsel I've found to eat today, 1 It's lucky such a nice, plump robin crossed my way." i Co she slowly crept along like a. puss sure of her prey, Tibsn Down bounced an apple from the branch o'er-j head, I And Only Pusjy Green Eyes' heels were seen as in affright she fled. Robin Redbreast looked an atom as through the air he sped, And Daddy Longlegs scrambled under the big protecting log, But This all made no sort of difference to the busy little bng.

Auntie Beth In Christian Work Greenland Boys. Greenland leys are great egg collectors. As scon as the galls and other birds that nest in the. far north appear in the spring the work begins.

iTfY THE WORLD'S W. C. T. U. CONVENTION AT TORONTO.

New England Women Secret of Tying Bows Women Have Never Done tho Really Big Things A Famous Toast Response A Fair Field For Women. Miss Agnes E. Slack, secretary of tho World's Women's Christian Temperance union, is a fair English girl with chestnut brown hair, blue eyes and tho fresh complexion which our cousins across! the water usually possess. Miss Slack is gifted in a high degree with eloquence and logic, which give her great power as a publio speaker. She was in America last year for about four months, during which time sho spoke in nearly every largo city from Maine to Missouri.

Philadelphia had the privilege of ono lecture, which the white ribboncrs greatly enjoyed. Miss Slack is at present a guest of Mrs. L. M. N.

Stevens of Portland, Me. She will remain in this country until after the world's convention at Toronto. An outline of the programme sent out by her announces that the world's MISS AQKES E. SLACK. executive committee will meet Oct.

22 and 87, the convention being from Oct. 23 to 26 inclusive. Each morning there will be a devotional meeting nt 8 :30 o'clock, conducted by Miss Greenwood, the superintendent of evangelistic work, who will also have charge of the devotional hour from 11 to 13 o'clock cu Saturday and Tuesday. On Monday at that hour a memorial service will be held, Miss Wiljard presiding. Lady Henry Somerset will preach the special convention sermon on Oct.

24. Nearly all pulpits in Toronto will be occupied by white ribboners on that day. Miss Willard will give the presidents address on the morning of Oct. 23. Canada is to give a banquet and reception to the delegates on the evening of Oct.

22. On Saturday afternoon notable people and representatives of philanthropic, religious and temperance societies will be received and introduced to the convention. Philadelphia Times. New England Women, New England women, with all their Interest in literary and educational matters, by no means neglect the domestic side. As individuals they maintain the early reputation of tbe New England housewife, and in organizations they are making a careful study of domestic science and household economics.

Tho New England kitchen, still carried on by a group of Boston women, is a practical example of what science ti fny tho hcn2cly crt The latest work undertaken by the ladies in charge of this kitchen is that of supplying wholesome luncheons to the boys and girls in certain publio schools. Five cent and 10 cent luncheons are provided daily to 1,600 children, who otherwise would stay their hunger with the indigestible confections of some neighboring pastry shop. New England women are making constant efforts to introduce cooking into the publio schools, sometimes through one organization, sometimes through another. Boston had the first publio school kitchen in America, and the generosity of Mrs. Quincy A.

Shaw was largely instrumental in having cooking mado part of the public school curriculum. In Providence the same work was accomplished by the ladies of the Domestic Training association. Cooking was introduced into the pHblio schools cf Manchester, N. through the Women's Christian Temperance union, and women were instrumental in introducing tho same branch into tho Concord public schools. The women of Rhode Island and Connecticut, through various organizations, are showing an interest in scientific cooking, and in Vermont good work is accomplished in this direction by means of the farmers' institutes.

Several groups cf women in Now England are turning their attention to the ever urgent servant problem. Tbe belief is spreading that almost the only solution lies in establishing well equipped training schools. The members cf the Bcston Young Women's Christian association for many years have mfiintaiuod an admirable free training school fcr domestics. Tbe graduates from its six mouths' course are always great demand, and its only defect is that limited quarters prevent its havivg core than a score cf students at a time.

"Did what?" "I'm going to tell you all about it. Papa said this morning that he was going to California, to bo gone a month. He said I'd enjoy the scenery and the climate, and ho thought there wasn't any trip that I'd like so much. Oh, he wanted me to go awfully bad, but I just thought that I wouldn't see you for a month, and so I took a stand. I must have made 60 excuses.

Finally I told him that I'd promised to go to Cousin Maude's at Lake Geneva, and that I ju6t couldn't break my promise, so at last he let me off. It was hard work, and I'm almost afraid I made him angry, but I knew you'd be so glad." "Yes um of course," responded Tom. "Well, you don't look half as glad as I thought you would." "No he began. "Then you're not glad." she said in a tone of mixed surprise and disappointment. "Well, no, darling," he said.

"Yon see, I'm to go with him." Chicago Times-Herald. She Wears Her Cross. The up to date woman wears her cross if she is so fortunate as to possess one. As an article of jewelry this symbol of suffering is as popular as it was in the days of the grandmothers. When the grandmothers were girls, tho possession of a handsome bejeweled cross that could be worn as a pin, a hair ornament or a locket amounted almost to a badge of aristocracy.

The black ones, studded with diamonds or pearls, or both, were highest in favor, as they are today. The fashionable cross must be antique looking. Not everybody's grandmother possessed one, however, so tho jewelers have come to the rescue of the woman who did not fall heir to one and are bringing out exquisite designs iu Roman gold. Most of them are studded with precious stones, and many have backgrounds of black enamel. It is by no means a taking form of personal adornment, but the women like it New York Sun.

Bis" Last Law Case. The late William S. Groesbeck of Cincinnati never took another law caso after his defense of President Andrew Johnson. "The brilliant speech which won that case," says tbe Cincinnati Commercial Tribune, "proved the man's remarkable will and intellectual powers. He had been so ill as to be confined to his bed, and on the day of the trial, and while lying in bed, he jotted down on a sheet of foolscap paper the main points of his defense.

He was driven to the tribunal in a carriage, unable to walk, and spoke extempore for four hours and a half. At the close nrticlo 11 was voted upon and the president acquitted without tbe taking up of any of tbe other articles. Since that time Air. Groesbeok had lived a life of quiet and retirement In 1873 he built Elm-hurst, a noble house of superb proportions, commanding a river view of nn-surpassed beauty." Tbey that will not be counseled cannot be helped. Benjamin Franklin.

two ends," she said. "Would you like sis?" And, loosening the knot a little, she again passed the ribbon in and out, forming a couplo more; then, giving the two original loops a jerk, 6he completed the bow. "You can havo as many loops as you like, sho explained, "and the rest of the arrangement depends entirely on the way tho loops are pulled and shaped. Some of tho newest bows have the loops cut diagonally, so as to form a collection of sharp pointed ends. These bows are particularly pretty for hats.

It is also advisable," sho concluded, "to take a stitch in the center knot when the bow is finished, to prevent its untying if the right end is pulled. New York Letter. Have Never Bone the Big Things. Hundreds of college bred women have been and are capibly and efficiently engaged in teaching, and a few have gained a certain distinction as presidents and professors in colleges for women, but no great and original educator has come from among them. Occasionally a determined young graduate gets a foothold in a newspaper office and usually keeps it with credit to herself and her higher education, yet tho few women editors of eminence have not been college bred, and there ia nothing to bo gained by concealing the fact that the college women who have undertaken journalism seem, as yet, to have had no influence in sweetening the flood of sensational and nasty print for which tho newspaper women of the country must bear their share of discredit with the newspaper men.

The number of college women who have taken up medicine is considerable, 6ome of them, no doubt, from a real love of soience, and some for lovo of a career. While their work has been able and their success undoubted it is junt to say that they have not contributed originally to medical science. Thoro are a few women collegians in law. in literature, in the pulpit and iu other professions, and their helpfulness and enthusiasm havo been especially noticeable in educational and philanthropic work. In all these fields of usefulness the work of college women, "taken by and large," has been good, honest, competent work, about like that of the average industrious man, but it hae been derivative, not creative; comple-mental, not brilliant, offering little opportunity for sex celebration on the part of those enthusiasts who believe that women have needed only a diploma and a ballot to be brilliantly equipped for conquering all the world that men havo left unconquered.

Helen Watter-son Moody in Scribuer's. A Famous Toast Response. Some years ago, when the New Century club was celebrating by a luncheon one of the early anniversaries of its chartered existence, a toast was given, a familiar one, but with slight alterations. Mrs. Edward Wetherill replied to it in a neat and witty speech which excited admiration and merriment at the time and which has since become for every now and again inquiries are made as to what the toast was and how it was answered.

The Household is glad, therefore, to offer to its readers the bona fide toast and response, "The men lovely men God bless 'em. "They double our cares, they divide our joys. How generously and unstint-ingly they give us advice! How boldly thoy stand in solid phalanx to shield us from the rude crowds around the ballot box I How gladly they protect us from the contaminating influences of the courtroom! How tenderly they have drawn us from the evils of equal education and have carefully pointed out to us tbe pitfalls in the paths which lead to fortunes. At what cost, at what sacrifice they erect before our admiring eyes their beautiful clubhouses! Here they must meet, day after day, deprived of the presence of her who alono brings light and joy into their lives. No ministering angel to hand the cup of solace, no fair divinity to warm the slippers for the weary feet.

"As fathers they are indispensable; as brothers they are open to criticism; as lovers they are irreproachable; as husbands we know none better; as men we can only say, 'With all their faults we love them A Fair Field For Women. All we women who are active in business or professions want is a fair field and no favor. We ask for nothing on the ground cf sex. We are willing to compete with and work with men on tbeir own ground and desire to be measured by tho sarco standards. We de'-nand no courtesy further than that which prevails between gentlemen.

Wo expect no deference. Iu business life men and vrcmeu are siruply workers, and tbe mcro the element of sex is intruded thegrcctcr tbe interference with the success of women. I know cf a young woman who wont into a new spaper cfiice cu a purely business errand to sell an article, in fact and was indignant because the reporters, all of whem were busy writing, did not jump to their fee and offer her a teat. They wero attoi bed in tbeir work, and most cf tbem wero probably unconscious cf her rrf.ence. Perbsps 25 women enter the office of a great New York daily every day.

You can easily see how it weald interfere with business if the reporters should immediately stop writes and pay theni the little not take away from their dignity; the title "Mrs." cannot add to it. The free, glorious woman herself is beyond all trivialities cf that sort. Eliza Arohnrd Conner. The Principle Involved. The question how women would vote on certain matters whether they would vote for temperance or against it or in favor of gambling or prizefights has littlo to do with the main principle involved.

We ore face to face with tne foot that many thousands of women in this country are thoroughly qualified to vote, and they pay taxes without representation. The state may or may not need the intelligence or moral power which thoy represent. But has it any right to deprive them of this function of citizenship? And are those who are able and willing to perform their duties in this respect to be prosoribed from voting because many women, like many men, place little value on the right of suffrage? Boston Christian Register? Professor of Botany. Miss Bertha Stoneman, a student in the botanic department of Cornell nni: versity for several years, who received the degree of doctor of philosophy there in 1895, has been appointed professor of botany in the Huguenot college at Cape Colony, South Africa. Sho sailed from New York, July 24.

The Huguenot college was established for the education of daughters of the French and of South Africa. Miss Stoneman was graduated from tbe high school at Jamestown, and before reaching her thirtieth year attained the honors of bachelor, master, doctor and professor. She is a niece of Miss Kate Stoneman of Albany. The Next Century Test. Man is not meant to be a creature cf one activity.

The test of the nineteenth century was the enfranchisement of man and ths exaltation of woman. The test of the twentieth century will be just the reverse woman's enfranchisement and man's exaltation. There is no antagonism between the two. One river of blocd, one battery of brain, unites the human race. Every woman is some man's daughter and every man is some woman's son.

Miss Frances Willard. A Brave Woman. Mrs. Florence Sparrel of Boston is one of the bravest women of the century. She attacks all the mediaeval abuses which linger iu tbo prison systems of America, and ia many instances has secured the abolition of "bread and water" and "solitary confinement." She has shown the iniquity of depriving saint or sinner of God's light and of plunging human souls into darkness to prey on their own misfortunes.

No wender so many fellows think that "coeducation is a failure." For instance, 25 of the pupils who reached tho highest grades this year in the grammar schools of Chicago were boys, while 107 were girls. Chicago Inter Ocean.

SEWING ON MEN-OF-WAR. Bow a Sailor May Add Something to His Fay From Uncle Sam. Visitors on board war vessels in the navy yard will very likely see among the sailors scattered about tbe decks stocking, talking and so on a sailor at work with a sewing machine. It is a hand machine and has a pretty heavy base, so that it can be set down on deck and worked easily without shifting its position. The machine is owned by the man working it.

On a big ship like, for example, tbe battleship Indiana, carrying a crew of 400 men or more, there would probably be found as many as a dozen sewing machines. On a third rate cruiser, a smaller vessel, such, tor illustration, as the Detroit, there would be apt to be four or five sewing machines. The machines are oftenest owned by sailmakers and sailmakers' mates, but they may be owned by sailors. Any man on the ship might have a sewing machine if he wanted to. Space is valuable on a vessel, and so only hand machines are allowed, and to bring a machine aboard permission must be got from the commanding officer.

It is not to be supposed that every man in the ship would want a sewing machine. As a matter of fact comparatively few men do, and those who want to take one aboard are not likely to find any difficulty in the way. A sailor who has a sewing machine makes and repairs garments for himself and be does work for others for pay. There are net so many sewing machines on the vessels of the new navy as there were on those of the old. The sailer nowadays makes up less of his own outfit than he formerly did.

He draws more completed articles from the gsvernment, but there is still plenty of work to be done aboard ship with sewing machines, and some money to be made with them yet. New York Sun. SHE MADE A GREAT MISTAKE. Thought She Wonld Make Tom Happy, bat Both Are Now Miserable. Daughters of wealthy men who fall In love with -their fathers' employees are not entirely restricted to novels.

Thcro is a Chicago merchant whose confidential man has for some time been a suitor for his daughter's band. There is another departure from tradition in 1 the fact that his love affair is not as i violently opposed as it might be. He is a thoroughly capable and upright fellow, and his prospective father-in-law probably doesn't see why he wouldn't do just as well as a clubman or perhaps a nobleman for his daughter's husband. Of course the two lovers like to be as much as possible in each other's company and try all sorts of little schemes and inventions to bring this happy state of affairs about. The other evening when the young man, whose familiar name is Tom, called at the home of his fiancee she was perfectly radiant "Ob, Tom, I have just the best piece of news to tell you!" she said to him.

"Indeed was his reply. "Tell it to me right away." fcpoyfjou will be so clad did..
