Bob Bnrdette Gives Seme of His Geod Advice to a Young- Man. My son, your brow is clouded; some thing has happened that didn't and doesn't agree with you. Were you neglected in the invitations? Didn't you get on any of the committees? Were you overlooked in the conven tion? Hasn't the secretary written you a personal letter asking your ad vice upon the campaign? Have you been coldly passed over for men of less ability? Do you feel that an intention al slight has been put upon you? Can you see clearly that every thing is going wrong because you have not been consulted? Have you been di rectly snubbed by inferior people? I thought as much. At your time of life such things are very liable to oc cur. They used to happen with me now and then. You will grow wiser as you grow older, unless you take the other chute; then you will grow more fool ish, and there is only one cure for an old fool, my boy that is, death. Or dinary death won't cure him. either. "Though thou shouldest bray him in a mortar among wheat with a pestle, yet will not his foolishness depart from him." See how awfully dead he has to be killed! Smashing him only makes him worse. But now, if any or all of these slights have been put upon you, listen to me, my tender Telemachus. Don't show your sores. Oh, don't show your sores. They are not pleasant things to look at, nobody wants to see them and they will heal much more rapidly and natr rally and healthfully, if you don't expose them. Keep them covered. Don't show them to any body but your Eurgeon, and don't show them to him unless you have to. And, don't look at them yourself. Leave them alone under the healing plasters of time and the cool compresses of forgetfulness, and you'll be surprised some day when you do happen to think of them, to find that they have healed by the first intention without a scar. Don't tell people when you are hurt; don't tell every body how keenly you feel a slight when, perhaps, there was no slight intended. Don't get yourself snubbed by people who never see you, and who don't know you and never think of you. And if you really are hit, and hit hard, it belittles your manhood and it drives away human sympathy when you lift up your voice and howl on the streets. Keep quiet about it. Don't whine; don't yelL One day, at the investment of Vicksburg it was on the memorable 22d of May during a lull in the desultory skirmishing that preceded the assault, while I was lying close to tho surface of the great round globe which we inhabit, and wishing I could get a little closer to it, we heard a tremendous howling and shrieking, and down the dusty road from the front came a blue-jacketed skirmisher on the trot, holding one hand up in the other, and the hand he was holding up had no thumb on it. It hurt like the mischief, I have no doubt, but it was only a thumb after all, and how the fellow was howling about it He was a brave man or he wouldn't have been where he could have lost that thumb. But you would think it was tho only thumb in the whole United States army and that no one else on the skirmish line had been hit that morning. So the soldiers saw only the funny side of the picture, and a perfect chorus of howls, in vociferous imitation of tho man's own wails, went shrieking up from the sarcastic line of the men who were waiting their turn to face death. In a minute another soldier came walking back from the skirmish line. Ho was walk ing slowly and steadily, never a moan fell from his compressed lips, though they were whiter than his bronzed face, and he held hie hand against his breast. The silence of the death chamber fell upon the line in an in stant, as the figure of the soldier moved along tho road with the air of a conqueror. Half a dozen men sprang to his side. Tenderly they laid him down in the shadow of a great oak; his lips parted to speak a mes sage to some one a thousand miles away, and the lino was short one man for the coming assault He died of his hurt; but he died like a king. Oh, my boy! don't yell the lungs out of you over a mashed thumb, when only three files down the lines a soldier sa lutes his captain before he faces about to go to tho rear with a death bullet in his breast You can't help getting hurt There isn't a safe place in the whole line. There are cruel people in the world who love to wound us; there are thoughtless, heedless people who don't think; there are people who don't care, and there are thick-skinned peo ple, who are not easily hurt them selves, and they think mankind is a thick-hided race; in fact, the air is full of darts and arrows and singing bullets all the time, and it's danger ous to be safe anywhere. But when you do get hit as hit you certainly will be don't "holler" any louder ihan you have to. Grin and bear it, the best you may. There are some people so badly hurt they must moan; do you forget your own hurt in look ing after them. Burdette, in Brooklyn Eagle: The value of the garden as an ap pendage to the farm is seldom or never over-estimated, but often under-iralued WOMEN IN POLITICS. How the Wobwb of Kansas Ceadaeted Themselves la the T-ate StateKIectleas. The reports of the recent municipal elections in Kansas show that women of the State exercised more generally their privilege of jyoting than at either of the other elections which have ta ken place since it was granted to them in 1887. In that year they cast about 30 per cent of. the whole vote polled for municipal officers. In 1888 the ra tio was about the same, but this year it seems to have been much increased. At all the town elections women came out in large numbers and took the deep est interest in the contests. In some of the larger places they were more zeal ous politicians than the men, and yet we fiear nothing of scandals like those that marked tho first elections in which they took part As the novelty of vot ing for municipal officers wears off they seem to preserve their self-control bet ter, at the same time that they are more earnest in performing the duty. So far from following the political direction of their husbands, wives in many cases took the leadership into their own hands and the husbands were the followers, while in others husband and wife voted in opposition to each other without producing serious family discord. The women voters, too, ex hibited both political independence and political conservatism, not hesitating to vote for candidates not of their own party if they deemed them better fitted for municipal offices. They also did a great amount of electioneering among men and women both, and displayed much aptitude for it There is no doubt that if women generally were allowed to vote, and they were waked up to a lively interest in politics, very many of them would make politicians with whom men would find it hard to com pete; and the wife might have more 3 do in determining the political faith of the family than the husband. At any rate, tho experience in this instance proves that the Kansas women do their political thinking for themselves. Feminine interests is aroused in municipal elections moro particularly, of course, because they involve moral issues with regard to which women are sure to have an opinion. Where wo men are allowed to vote on school questions, as is the case now in four teen States, they seem to be indifferent to the privilege, though such partial suffrage was granted them on the theory that they would have a peculiar solicitude concerning the education of children. The only time they exer cised it in Boston to any large extent was when a mischievous religious issue was imported into the canvass, But as municipal officers have committed to them some sort of moral supervision in the enforcement of the laws against liquor selling and the punishment of vice, the Kansas women, high and low, turn themselves into active politicians on election day. However it might be in a community like New York, in the Kansas towns tho feminine vote is al most wholly cast on the side of Puritan restriction. The women are the re lentless enemies of the drinking sa loons, and the small minority of their number who violate the strict code of morals, receive little consideration at their hands. They are uncompromis ing in these respects, and probably the same would be the case elsewhere, for tho vast majority of women will toler ate no departure from moral purity in their own sex, and they would gladly break down the competition of the rum shop with the home. Prof. Goldwin Smith therefore is alarmed at the prospect of admitting women to the suffrage in England, for It looks now as if at least widows and spinsters would gain the privilege there before long, and with that entering wedge women generally would prob ably get the vote in due time. His fear is that men would come under tho power of women, and petty social tyr anny would be the result The fem inine voters would be in the majority, and, therefore, could determine the policy of the State, making it a fem inine policy in place of the existing masculine policy. If they took the bits in their teeth, as the Kansas women 3eem to be doing in the municipal elec tions, there might be some reason for bis alarm, if such a transfer of power affords occasion for misgiving. Turn over to them the authority which lies in their majority, and they might ex ercise it with an independence of mas culine restraint which would surpriso the people who oppose woman suffrage on the ground that women would vote simply as they were instructed by men. Perhaps they would and perhaps they would not As it is, they usually have their own way, and if they became voters they might carry the same dis position into politics. The extent to which women interest themselves in public affairs is now great as compared with what it was when the agitation against slavery started the demand for women's rights forty years ago. Then, and long after, the appearance of a woman as a speak er on a public platform excited general ridicule, and most among women. But now, both here and in England, women are welcomed as efficient allies in poli tics and philanthropy. They are ad mitted to colleges and school boards, and large numbers of them are in the public employment Millions of women, too. are working in competition with men in all except the rougher indus tries, and their modern occupations are drawing them away from the seclusion of homes and into the strife and turmoil of outside life. Thus they are learning to throw off their ancient reserve, and they are in a road which will be likely to lead them eventually to the goal of the suffrage; for whenever they rise to demand the right of voting, they are jmra to gat it The woman suffraga bill has just been defeated at Albany, where it had only jocose consideration, but it would not have been so if its ad vocates had represented the great body of women. Some day, probably, the measure will have that backing, impos sible as it is at present to interest wo men in the subject N. Y. Sun. A NOBLE SACRIFICE, Hew the Womea of Massachusetts Paid for the Privilege of Voting for the Geed of the Public We felt proud, says the Boston Wo man's Journal, of Kansas women, and of the women in Wyoming and Wash, ington Territories, who used their right to vote so wisely as to win the com mendation of the best men in their re spective localities. Now we are proud of Massachusetts women who, under difficulties that are never opposed to men, secured assessment to the number of twenty-five thousand in this city, and of hundreds in other cities and towns where the results are not fully known. The immediate cause of this increase was an interest in the public schools, whose welfare was supposed to be men aced. Nothing like this uprising has occurred since the war of the rebellion. Then it was the welfare of the country, now it is that of the schools and at what cost! Women whose small earn ings, saved up for old age or sickness, had never been taxed, now were re quired by law to give in under oath a true list of all their property, and to be taxed on it before they could vote. A man may refuse to do this and yet vote all the same. But in this case women, who earned their daily bread, paid some five, ten and thirty dollars, that they might vote for school com mittee. This shows how truly women are to be trusted to sacrifice for what they deem the public good. The registration of twenty-five thou sand in this city virtually gives them the control of the school board election. It changes the whole aspect of the woman question, and, as the Boston Globe says, "the municipal election next De cember will be the beginning of the end of tho long struggle for the enfranchise ment of women." Victorious Women. The Chicago Evening Law School has had a lively fight over the question of admitting women as students. The school is incorporated under the State law, and was opened a short time ago in the appellate court room, with Judges Moran and Bailey of the appel late court as faculty and seventy young men as students. Miss Emma Baumann and Miss Baker applied for admission. Both are stenographers, and wished to perfect themselves in legal technical ities to enable them to do court report ing. Strong opposition was made to their admission. Mrs. Myra Bradwell, of the Legal News, and other ladies took up the cause of the young lady ap plicants. The sentiment of the students is said to have been against their ad mission, but Judge Moran sensibly said: "Let the ladies be given equal privileges. If young gentlemen are mentally superior, let them demon strate it by proficiency in their studies." The directors were divided, but after some discussion, and a postponement or two, they voted that women shall be admitted. This scores one more vic tory for justice and common-sense. s INTERESTING TO WOMEN. A. J. Drexel, the banker, is about to found an industrial college for women at Wayne. Pa., at a cost of $1,500,000. Mr belief in the wisdom and justice of the demand that women shall be ad mitted to the ballot grows stronger every year. Geo. F. Hoar. Mary S. Sxow has been elected to the school committee for three years in Bangor, Me. She received the unani mous vote of the city council. Dr. Amelia B. Edwards is now call ed upon to live up to the reputation of being the most learned woman in the world. Even she, however, in the opin ion of the many hod-carriers, does not know enough to vote. Boston Com monwealth. We agree with the woman suffragists on one point: The argument that women should not vote because a ma jority of them do not desire to is weak. The question is one that is to be decid ed chiefly, if not entirely, in the inter est that the State has in the subject Boston Herald. J. Edward Pfeiffeu. who lately died at London, was a warm advocate of collegiate education for girls and also of woman suffrage. He left nearly $500,000 to his wife, Emily Pfeiffer, the English poetess, with the request that at her death it should be used for the advancement of women. The relative standing of the pupils in a public school does not depend wholly upon their ability, but partly upon their application. It is our im pression that girls are generally more diligent and studious than boys, during their school life. We should not claim that the higher standing of the girls in their studies is a proof of their absolute intellectual superiority; but it certain ly ought to silence those who have hitherto asserted their hopeless inferi ority. Lucy Stone. Mrs. Zerelda G. Wallace said that the righteousness of woman suffrage was so self-evident that to argue in its favor now seemed almost humiliating. One point at least has been gained. The advocates of the movement were no longer criticised and ridiculed in the public press, and it has' become under stood that there could be no thorough development of the race until woman should be entirely free. Men could not work out the problem of self-fov OBf - ENGINES OF DESTRUCTION. me Part 1UMa by Americans la theDa atgalBff ef War Materials. The world "moves so fast and im provements follow one another in, such rapid succession that the work of original designers is often lost amid a maze ef modifications, and the imitator becomesfamed above the artist If we turn to modern war machinery we shall find apt illustrations of this, and in most of the effective material in the great European armaments behold the cunning fashioning of the Yankee in ventor. Admiral Porter has told us that the guns at Hampton Roads the Monitor and Merrimac fight re sounded through the world and an nounced to the British that their great steam fleet the finest in the world at that time was obsolete. The great iron fleets of to-day have been devel oped from this Monitor germ. The liquid compass, that makes it possible to navigate iron and steel ships, is the invention of Mf. Ritchie, of Brookline, Mass. The world talks of the Krupp gun, yet how few are aware of the fact that it was only through the in vention of the American, Colonel Bradwell, that Herr Krupp was enabled to make his guns effective? General S. V. Benet, Chief of Ord nance, U. S. A., speaking on this sub ject, says: AH modern steel guns are of one or two sys tems, either the Krupp bolt system or the in terrupted screw used in the French service. Our guns are of the latter system, which seems to offer the greatest advantages. Like all good modern inventions, it is an American one. So, for that matter, is the Krupp, or rather what gave Krupp's invention the practical value. The great trouble with the Krupp gun was the escape of gas at the breech. This was over come by the aid of the "Bradwell plate," the invention of Colonel Bradwell, an American, who sold Krupp the invention. It consists of a thin steel plate, with elastic edges, that fits in the breech; and the pressure of the gas wedges it tightly against the sides and pre vents the escape of gas. The machine gun, that terrible weap on now so important apart of the great European armaments both on land and sea, is primarily an invention of the American, Dr. Gatling; the French mitrailleuse is a modification of it, so is the Nordenfelt In June, 1883, Nor denfelt brought suit against Gardner, inventor of the Gardner machine gun. for infringement Gardner showed that the principles on which the Nordenfelt gun was constructed nau iuug ue u ueveiupeu in the American Gatling machine gun and Winchester rifle, indeed long before 1873. whoa Nordenfelt got his English patent It may fairly be said that this principle has found its highest development in the automatic gun of the American, Hiram Maxim, a gun which will fire 600 phots a minute; the recoil being utilized to load and fire and to keep a stream of water moving about the barrels far cooling. The disappearing gun mechanism is also his invention. The screw propeler, an invention that makes it possible to sink the motive power of a war ship, within and without, out of range of flying shot, though first tried in British waters, found no favor till Captain Ericsson came hither. The revolver, now in universal use, is, as every body knows, the invention of Colonel Colt, of Connecticut We may add to the list the dynamite gun, yet in the in fancy of its development, and the dynamite cruiser, intended to make up for its shortcomings in point of range, of which an English authority recently said there was not, probably, a ship afloat that would be safe before it. The torpedo, now holding so impor tant a place among war material, was first made practicable and effective during our last war; its cousin, the automobile torpedo, of comparatively recent designing, is tlso American, though there are several foreign forms of the same. Scientific American. VASE, NOT VAWZ. A TJttle Word About Whose Pronaacla tlonMuch Has Ben Written. If three of our most celebrated poets Pope, Byron and Moore may be cited as orthoepists, then are, or were, "case," "face" and "grace" correct rhymes to "vase," in proof of which I append a quotation from each poet: Pope. "The Rape of the Lock," canto v., ad fin.: There heroes' wits are kept in ponderous vases And beaux in snuff-boxes and tweeter cases. Byron, "Don Juan," c viiL, s. 96: A pure, transparent, pale, yet radiant face. Like to a lighted alabaster vase. Moore, "Odes of Anacreon," v. and lxxviiL: Grave me a cup with brilliant grace, Deep as the rich and holy vase, etc. Ode lxxviiL has the name rhyme. The question is, was such pronunci ation of "vase," the "pure well of En glish un defiled," or was it only "po etic license," or caprice, fashion or custom? Of course, many words alter their pronunciation from age to age, and "vase" may be one of them, as at present, I think, the word is generally pronounced as though it rhymed wit! "stars." Nuttall, in the preface to his dictionary, says: "The standard of pronunciation is not the authority qi any dictionary, or any orthoepist; but it is the present usage of literary and well-bred society." If this be so, such sage seems to be the "safest Ltand-. ard" we have for our pronunciation.

New j patterns are just received, which are i moPe than ever temDtine and desira- Sble first from their most beautiful i and varied coloring and wonderfully- delicate finish, and again from the fact that they are everlasting wear, and neither wrinkle nor crease like many of the grades in Henrietta cloth and other fine wool fabrics. The fresh in voices have some charming features, among others the dainty qualities of figured patterns on pale-hued grounds, with fine foulard designs in delicate colors. These fancy cashmeres are specially adapted for watering-place wear, and their various colors and de signs give a wide choice for both young women and their elders. Turkish batiste is the name of a new cotton material that is finer than cam bric and more opaque than lawn. There are plain and gaily-figured goods in this material. New French muslin in exquisite qualities repeat the beautiful patterns and tapestry de signs of Persian and French foulard silks. Shirting cambrics fcr neglige waists are shown in pretty new checks, stripes and Pompadour devices. French cotton cheviots in Oxford goods with plain surfaces, and in Cam bridge fabrics with finely-twilled face are also used for fancy morning waists. Some of the stylish gowns noted among the fair promenaders on the avenues are marvels of fit and finish, braiding still being a favorite decora tion. Many in Directoire fashion are simply wrought, but the smartest are elaborately decorated with a new sort of silk soutache or gimp, which gives the pattern the effect of heavy rich applique work. Next to the braided and magnificently-bordered gowns, , large plaids and stripes are popular. Most of these this season have a redin gote of the same, or a bodice every where bias, opening over a stylish vest of some description, with deep Crom wellian cuffs to match. IlDon other I n.B , ,tw.,t,c , I evei and also in tho display-rooms of leading modistes, are deftly draped plaided skirts with very elegant jer seys above in monochrome these va riously decorated and quite often very oddly trimmed with some of the plaid ed goods. Jerseys are popular still, in spite of their want of novelty. Of course these are never seen on dres occasions, if those are excepted which are made of marvelously fine and flexible silks aud rare open-work tex tiles studded with gems, superbly em broidered or lace finished and sleeve less. But the jorsey pure and simple, yet elegant in effect, is a good invest ment, as a perfect fit is always assured in advance, and so far as economy goes it can be bought for less than the mak ing of an equally well-appearing bod ice often costs, with, in a sense, the material for nothing.

Successful Methods of Treatise All Kinds of Breeding Animals. The shy breeder is a too frequent exception on the stock form. The suc cessful methods of treating such ani mals are not numerous. In fact the usual remedy for this trouble is com plex in its application. While the diet of the plump animal is readily con sidered and understood to be a fault, many farmers do not appreciate the part which steady, judicious, exercise holds in reducing flesh and in impart ing "condition" for breeding. The horse is not a flesh-growing animal in a practical sense. When not properly fed and "handled," however, the equine animal may impair the reproductive functions. The mare worked steadily and carefully, maintains a normal con dition, as a rule conceives and nurtures a foal to maturity. The "loose," idle mares and fillies and the one driven occasionally (too often violently), given thus the extremes of rest and exercise, make the trouble. On a large "horse breeding farm" it will pay well to employ one man in the work of ex ercising the mares (as well as the stallions), if there is not the regular daily work for them during the breed ing season. This is especially desira ble in the case of draft mares. The trotting or road mares do not so much tend to the fleshy condition. The cows, swine and sheep, too claim a full share in this directio During tho summer and fall they should be wa tered if possible in a remote part of the pasture, salt (rock salt) should be kept at some distance from the water, then hay-racks and feed-boxes at still other places, so that they may have the travel desirable to 'ensure repro ductive vigor as well as bones, tendons and muscle! There is certainly no ad junct of reduction of feed that equals exercise for breeders. Special atten tion to difficult animals will, of course, be required. Orange Judd Farmer.

A Secoad Daniel Discovered la u t California Town. At last we have got the printer where we want him. Since the es tablishment of printing the compositor has held the whip hand over the news paper writer. More brilliant efforts of genius have been ruined by the man who has the putting of them in type to do than have been lost by never being printed at all. And there has been no law to punish him. There has been more trouble over how matter has been put in the paper than over what matter has been put there. The compositor is my natural enemy, and it is with a glee I can not and do not care to hide that I get this in on him. Civilization in its highest form has developed it self in a small town of California.
