jail who desire to do lh. work of
i Christ In the spirit of Christ. So far

mi s l.rrause they prefer to work for
, a good which Is nigh rather than to
Si rain after a good which Is higher,
; but more remote not beyond the
i .iinsp of Iheir desire, though to their
thinking beyond their reach. "The
i forbearing man." says Aristotle, "Is
he who ilo.'s not insist on his rights
to the damage of others. " Modern
', lion prompts to the tempering ol
strict Justice bv considerations which
may lead Io what we suggestively rail
equitable concessions. From Chris-
ilan service the spirit of vainglory
and of part li.iinship w ill be exorcised
, when "intense moderation" is our an
imating motive. The prinriple under-
lying "mtiderai Ion" Is the repression
i of self assert ion ; and this Is no mere
passive virtue. "Kven Christ pleased

are ihe outward and visible sign that
I Hie inward life is dominated by that
"intense moderation" which puts ef
fectual restraint on the clamorous do
mauds of self. J. 0. Tusker.
The Path to Life.
Death is the path to life; and we
must, not forget this In our modern
ami proper zeal for positive, rather
than negative, leaching. "Not repres
sion, but eleva'Ion. Would that thia
could be repeated a thousand times
over," lightly exclaims u teacher. Hut
It. Is a poor philosophy that does not
realize that there can be no perfect
elevation without repression. The
iiiii Hi ion of our lord Is as vttal a

life is the pel feet type of all t"ue life.
The saint com eg to know the fellow
ship of Christ's sufferings, as well as
the power of Christ's resurrection. Ho
is crucineii with Christ to the very
end that he may live In Christ and
Christ In him. "Set your mind on the
things that are above. Put to death
your members which are upon the
earth." The rapacities which are In
nocent in themselves, hut which wo
apply to wrong uses, need elevation,
not repression. The evil Is within us,
and that no philosophy can long Ig
nore or deny wlihout breaking clown,
needs not elevation, but extirpation.

The Real Touchs'one.
The highest achievement of charity
Is to love our enemies; but to bear
cheerfully with our neighbors' failings
Is scarcely an Inferior grace. It Is
easy enough to love those who are
agreeable and obliging what fly is
not attracted by sugar and honey?
but to love one who Is cross, perverse,
tiresome, is ns unpleasant a process as
chewing pills. Nevertheless, this is
tho real touch'itone of brotherly love
Ihe best way of practicing It Is to
put ourselves in the place of him who
tries us, and to see how we would
wish him to treat us If we had his
defects. We must put ours-dves In the
place of buyer when we sell, and sell
er when we buy. If we wont to deal

Susan B. Anthony and Her
Work for Equal Suffrage
SuBiin 11. Anthony was one of I furnished tutertainlng stories for fit
America's famous women. She was ly years.
known In every staio lu the Union, nnd I
her fame reached to all tho great
capitals of Kurope ns the most able
leader in the woman stiff rage move
ment In the world. She was known
for her earnestness, her singleness of
purpose, her courage, and her cheer
fulness under defeat. She gave wom
an a place in the I'niled States that
woman did not occupy In 183:!, when
she Kcamliili.ed a whole community
by daring to speak in public of the
wrongs of her sex.
To-day American women are envied
by those of all other nations, and
stand comparatively free Individuals,
with the exception of political disa
bilities. During tho fifty years which
have wrought Hits revolution, just one
woman In all the world (Susan U.
Anthony) gave every day of her time,
every dollar of her money, every pow
er of her being to secure this result.
She was Impelled to this work by no
personal grievance, but solely through
a deep sense of the Injustice which,
on every side, she saw perpetuated
against her sex, and which she de
termined to combat. Never for one
short hour was the cause of woman
forgotten or put aside for any other
object. Never a single tie was form-
"d, either of affection or business.
which would Interfere with this su
preme puiHiK0. Never a speech was
given, a trip taken, a visit made, a
letter written In i.ll this half cen
tury hut that was done directly in
the Interest of this one object. There
was no thought of personal comfort,
advancement, or glory; the seir
abnegation, the self-sacrifice, was ab
solute and unparalleled.
Many Chances to Wed.
Next to woman's suffrage. If there
was one live question In tlie world
upon which Miss Anthony had decid
ed opinions It was upon matrimony.
She had so many chances to wed that
she didn't remember all who asked
her.
Miss Anthony had one beau who
wore a green waistcoat, but that is
about all she does remember of him.
Once, In telling of other chances to
marry, she said:
"Oh, they'd come shining around.
It was the thing to go to meeting with
them, nnd to all the socials and spell
ing bees, nnd sleigh riding and buggy
riding, and tho girls counted how-
many horses ami buggies were hitched
In front of another girl's house at one
time. What do you call them now?
Oh, yes scalps. In those days men
In general were ufrald of a woman
who wrote a book, and one who
taught school was only n little better
off. If a woman got the reputation of
having brains It was had for her mat
rimonial chances. The men were
afraid of petticoat government, and
It took a good many smiles anil bright
colors and curls to overcome this.
"Still, I had my share. I'll tell you,
I've always been busy, and men were
always secondary.
"They are all dead now, so none of
them can feel hurt. I would have
been a widow, no matter which I had
married."
Her First Convention.
Miss Anthony attended her first
woman's rights convention In Syra
cuse, N. V., In 18.12. At that meeting
she displayed the tendency to speak
.out her exact thoughts, which have
Kaiser's Daughter a Favorite.
The only daughter of the German
emperor Is the youngest of seven chil
dren. She Is 13 years of ngo, and Is
"tall, angular and pale." This young
lady Is called affectionately Princess
schen by the people, and Is said to
be tho only one of the kais
er's children who ever dares to
take any lihortfas with the august
head of the family. It Is said that on j
one occasion the emperor -hM: "My j
daughter often forgets that I am Gor- j
man emperor, but sho never forgets i
that she Is princess royal."
Itlrs. Oakos Smith, a fashionable
Huston woman of the day, was named
for president. Mrs. Smith appeared
at the convention in a low-necked,
short-sleeved white dress with a fancy
Barque of pink delaine.
Quaker James Mott nominated hor
for the office, and this was more than
Quaker Susan H. Anthony could stand.
She rose In her place and said bold-
'ly that no woman dressed In the friv-
olous fashion of Mrs. Smith could
; represent the earnest, hard-working
' women of the country, who, Miss An-
thony believed, were asking the bal
j'lot. She carried the day, and Mrs.
j Lucre! ia Mott was elected president
of tho association.
Not long after that Miss Anthony
attended a second woman's meeting,
at which the speakers had such weak,
piping voices that they did not reach
beyond a few front seats. Miss An
thony got up and said: "Mrs. Presi
dent, I move that hereafter tho pa
pers shall be given to someone to read
who can be heard."
Squelches Horace Greeley,
From the beginning of her work
Miss Anthony had the friendship and
support of Horace Greeley. He en
Joyed, however, an occasional contro
versial tilt with her, and In one nota
ble Instance she had much the best
of It. "Miss Anthony," said Greeley,
In his drawling monotone, "you know
the ballot nnd the bullet go together.
If you vote, are you ready to fight?"
"Yes, Mr. Greeley," Miss Anthony
retorted Instantly. "Just as you
fought In the late war at the point of
a goose quill."
At the Empress' Reception.
When Miss Anthony was In Berlin
several years ago she attended a re
ception given by the empress of Ger
many. Miss Anthony Insisted on
standing. The empress was stand
ing. Why shouldn't she stand? Every
body else sat down, but she stood up
under her 84 years and said she In
tended standing until the empress
took ber seat. A moment later a court
functionary, splashed from head to
foot with brass and gold braid, came
up to the suffragist and said:
"Her majesty requests that you will
be seated."
Miss Anthony sat down, but pres
ently bobbed up again, and explained
to the others present (hat maybe It
wasn't respectful to sit in tho pres
ence of royalty.
But no sooner had the kind old
"Aunt Susan" arisen lhan the "major
domo," as she called him, came bow
Ing buck, and In tho choicest German,
said:
"Her majesty says she will be much
distressed If you do not sit."
Miss Anthony sat. down and re
mained sitting until the empress
came up to her, an 1 bidding her good
by, wished her a pleasant stay In Ber
lln. After Miss Anthony had
"escaped" from tho place and had re
turned to her friends at the hotel
they, having never seen an empress
outside a picture nook, began asking
what she looked like. One said, "Did
you kiss her hand?"
"Kiss her hand?" asked Miss An
thony. "No. Should I have done It?
I Just bowed my head and told her I
was a Quaker, and dldn t know much
about court etiquette, and she gently
told nie to follow my own customs."
Two Clever Retorts.
Archbishop Temple had a ready wit.
A fussy curate once asked hlni If an
accident which prevented the curate's
aunt from taking a ship, which after
ward sank, was an Instance of provi
dential Interfere nte. Here's the re-
t tort "Can't tell; didn't know your
! mint." More unkind Is the reply
which Talleyrand Is reported to have
' made to a friend who was lying on a
j s'ck bed, "I am suffering the tortures
j of the damned." sal 1 the afflicted man.
What, already?" saU Talleyrand,
with polite Incredulity.
AUSTRO-HUNGARIAN DISPUTE,
Something About the Cause of the
Parliamentary Trouble.
The cause of dispute between Aus
tria and Hungary Is of long standing
and must be settled by complete sur
render on one Bide or the other, says
the New Orleans Times-Democrat. It
was brought about by opportunists,
who, after the manner of that school
of politicians. In reaching the compact
In 18C8, left disputes which they had
not the courage to settle to the set
tlement of posterity. When the com
pact was formed In 18G8 there were
several points of disagreement, the
chief of which referred to the military
prerogatives of the crown. In the
drawing up of that compact, from
which was born the dual monarchy,
Koloman Tlsza, father of the present
Count Tlsza, one of the Hungarian
leaders, Insisted on the Introduction
of tho Hungarian language of com
mand In the army and the develop
ment of a separate Hungarian army.
But the king was unalterably opposed
to this and Deak and Andrassy the
elder, great men of Hungary at that
time, saw that the compact was about
to bo wrecked, nnd they made a
bridge of the word "constitutional,"
which was meant to bo ambiguous.
Ambiguity has always been the
mother of strife and It has proved to
be so In this case. Hungarians were
to understand that the royal preroga
tives In respect of the army were to
be exercised under "constitutional"
that Is to say, parliamentary' control,
while the king was expected to be
lieve that these military prerogatives
in respect of the Hungarian part of
the army were constitutional in the
sense of being recognized by Hungar
ian constitutional law, but not essen
tially different from the military pre
rogatives of the emperor of Austria.
This Is a statement of the case re
cently made by M. Kossuth, according
to the London Times. The Hungar
ian leader admits that the phrase was
Intentionally made ambiguous, and
he added that Hungary had since
been living In a constitutional fool's
paradise and now she saw the consti
tution tumbling about her ears.
It seems a small thing to demand
that the words of command In an
army shall be In one's own language,
but it is to be remembered that the
Magyar language Is not the language
of Hungary, though It Is the dominant
one, as the Magyar is the dominant
race. There are Czech. Polak and
other races who constitute about one-
half of the population to whom the
Magyar language is anathema, and
who would much prefer that the Ger
man words of command should be
used In the army. The Magyars and
the Jews of Hungary are In close com
bination and stand firmly together on
all political questions. Together they
elect a majority of the members of
the diet, because they possess more
generally the privilege of tho fran
chise. When the parliament meets
Its temper will be such that it will
probably be dissolved by royal com
mand, or at least by order of Premier
Kejervary, who has already received
authority from the emperor-king to
that end. Then Is expected to come
a revolution.
This Is one of the sticks of dyna
mite which have been lying around
loose In Europe for a long time, await
ing the spark which is to set It off.
The aged emperor, while naturally
conciliatory, has fully made up his
mind on this subject, and It appears
that the Magyars have as fully made
up theirs. Should revolution result,
the trouble would not be confined 'o the
limits of the dual kingdom in all
probability, for the neighboring na
tions have long since had an eye on
the prospective carcass of the ciiplre,
upon the death of aged Frans Josef,
and Russia, Germany, Italy and per
haps other slates would demand a
hand In whatever settlement Is to be
reached.

upon women ia

More than three
fourths of the
patients 1 y I n g
on those snow-

are awaiting or recovering from opera
tlons made necessary by neglect. '
Every one of these patient had
plenty of warning In that bearing down
feeling, pain at the left or right of the
abdomen, nervous exhaustion, pain ia
the small of the back, pelvlo catarrh,
dizziness, flatulency, displacements or
Irregularities. Allot these symptoms,
are indications of an unhealthy con
ditlon of the female organs, and if not
heeded the trouble may make headway
until the penalty has to be paid by a
dangerous operation, and a lifetime of
impaired usefulness at best, while ia
many cases the resulta are fatal.
Miss Luella Adams, of Seattle, Wash.,
writes:
Dear Mrs. Plnkham i
"About two years ago I was a grwit suf
ferer from a severe female trouble, pains anil
headaches. The doctor prescribed for mo and
finally told me that I had a tumor and must
undergo an operation if I wanted to get well.
1 felt that this was my death warrant, but I
rnent hundred of dollars for medical help,
but the tumor kept growing. Fortunately I
corresponded with an aunt inthnNow England
Mates, and he advised me to take Lydis K.
llnkham's Vegetable Compound, ax it wa
said to cure tumors. I did aoand immediately
began to Improve in healt h, and I was entirely
cured, the tumor disappearing entirely, w ith
out an operation. I wish every sultiTinj;
