I discontent with hom life ami mother
iiwd. and all the consequent labor and
sacrifice He regards them hi auxiliaries
In the movement to secure for women the
rlRlit to vote and otherwise participate In
publle affairs. Mr. Cleveland sty:
"I.ft It here be distinctly understood that
no sensible man has fears of Injury to tlia
country on account of auch participation.
It la lt dangerous, undermining effect on
the character! of the wives and mothera
of our land that w fear. At a recent meet
ing of these radicals a high priestess of the
faith declared: 'No matter how bad the
crime, a woman commits. If she c an't vote,
and Is classed with Idiots and criminals and
1 un h ties, she should not be punished by the
SHtn Jaws as those who vote obey."
This was said when advoeutlng united
ac tlon on the part of the assembled body
to prevent the execution of a woman
proved guilty of the deliberate and aggra
vated murder of her hushand. The speaker
In reported to have further announced us
apparently the keynote of her addressi: "If
we could vote we'd be willing to be hanged.'
"It is a thousand pities that all the wives
found In such company cannot sufficiently
open their minds to see the complete fitness
of the homely definition which describes a
good wife as 'a woman who loves her hus
band and her country with no deal re to ruin
either.' And what a blessed thing It would
be if every mother and every woman could
realise the everlaatlng truth that 'the hand
that rocks the cradle is the hand that rules
the world.'
"I do not include In the club movements
those which amount to nothing more than
woman's association or co-operation In
charitable, benevolent and religious work.
T speak more especially of the woman'
clubs of an entirely different sort, so nu
merous that In the Interests of their consol
idated management a 'National Federation
of Woman's Cluba' has been created.
"I speak also of the vast number of asso
ciations less completely organised, but not
lesa exacting of time and attention, whose
professed purposes are In many Instance
Hie intellectual improvement or entertain
ment of the women composing their mem
bership. "The danger of self-delusion lies In their
supposition that they are consulting the
need of relaxation or the duty of increased
opportunity for Intellectual improvement,
when In point of fact, and perhaps Im
perceptibly to themselves, they are taking
counsel of their discontent with the hum
drum of their home life.
"Iriqurstionably thie tendency is partly
due to the widespread and contagious fever
for change or rearrangement which sowns
to leave no phase of our people's life un
touched. I believe it has also been largely
provoked by the Increase of club life among
the husbands and fathers, resulting In tho
neglect of wives, thus creating a condition
of man's guilt which tempts retaliation in
Kind.
"No woman who enters upon such a r
tallatory course can be sure that the man
she seeks to punish will be otherwise af
fected than to be mad more Indifferent to
home, and mora determined to en largo the
are of his selfish pleasures. Cheerlessness
will Invade her home, and children will bu
deprived of the wholsoraeness and delight
of an atmosphere which can, only be created
by a mother's loving presence and ab
sorbing car.
"it must be abundantly evident that, a
agencies for retaliation or man's punish
ment, woman's club are horribly misplaced
and miserably vicious."

If the youth ran be led to settle on soma
future 1 if purpose and bn Induced to plan
und prepare for It, half the battle is won.
A worthy life aim Is a beacon light which
will guide the young Into the safe haven
of good health and good habits.
The mother's work for her daughters
should be to teach by precept and example
self-control and the need of dlreating life's
words and acts by rule founded on correct
principles instead of the Impulses and emo
tion.". Teach them to respect themselvss
too much either to mutilate their bodies by
wrong habits of dressing, eating, drinking,
idleness or dlsetpatlon, or their minds and
morals by vain thoughts and Imaginations
or giving away to nervous hysterical out
bursts of passions and emotions. Tell them
of the terrible life destruction and disasters
that have resulted from scrtamlng at fires
and raising a panic, even when there was
no rauxe for excitement.
Encourage t lie bewildered youth to speak
freely of his doubts, fears and skepticism to
futhor and mother, and don't make him
feel that they and the Lord both look upon
him as a doomed, Incorrigible reprobate.

Premiums on Babies' Mvea.
The new mayor of Huddersfleld, England,
has promised to give to the mother of every
child born during his year of office a prom
issory note for 1. payable one year after
birth, If the child lives so long. His object,
aays a writer in the World of Today. Is
to prevent the wastage of child life by
making It worth while for the parents to
be careful about their children. After con
sidering the French system of offering a
premium to children who had lived a year
he hit upon his present plan, because the
"proper time to secure the child's welfare
Is to have the mother's help from the very
first. I could not at first see quite how 1
could make a premium effective In prevent
ing the child's death, which was what I
winhed to do. Then there came to me the
happy thought of giving to the mother, as
soon as the child was born, a properly legal
promissory note, payable twelve months
after date; and on the note I thought I
might get In some good advice."
The promissory note Is prepared in due
legal form and Is accompanied by "The
Goldan Rule for Babies," the whole docu
ment being printed In colors and the shape
of a certificate. The following is a copy of
the note and the Instructions following It:

THE OOLDEN RULE.
For the Life and Health of the Baby.
"Feed with the Mother's Milk: The

Twelve months after date I promise to
pay to the parents or guardians of the
above named child the sum of 1 on pro
duction of proof that said child haa reached
the sge of 12 months.
Signed
Mayor of Huddersfleld.
For every baby fed on Its mother's milk
who dies before the age of 3 months, fif
teen babies die who have been fed by other
means-
RULES FOR THE WELFARE OF THE
BABY.
When the mother cannot suckle the child
it should be fed on new milk and water
mixed in certain proportions according to
as.
At first half milk and half wster. with a
tc-sspoonful of cream and a little augur
Thji, as the child grows older, lesu water
to be added. When cream cannot be ob
tained a small piece of suet may be shred
ded Into the milk.
WHAT TO DO.
Alwaya feed the baby at regular intervals
every three hours.
Always keep the baby very clean.
Always batha (or sponge all over) the
baby once a day In warm water.
Always let the baby sleep In a cradle or
cot; a wicker basket makes a good cot (er
even an empty packing case).
Always use fullers' earth to powder the
baby, not starch or flour.
Alwaya attend to the baby when It cries.
The baby cries for one of three reasons:
(1) The beby is hungry, or
(2) The baby Is uncomfortable or some
thing hurts, or
(3) The baby Is ill.
WHAT NOT TO DO.
Never give tho baly aooimng syrups,
fever powders or anything of that sort.
Never give the baby bread, or sops, or
gravy, or any other food except milk, till
it Is more than 7 months old. .
Never give the baby skimmed milk or
milk that is not perfectly fresn and good.
Never use a feeding bottle with a long
tube. Nobody can keep the Inside of the
Never carry the baby "sitting up" until
It is 6 months old.
Never neglect to send for a doctor if the
baby Is 111. Babies are soon overcome and
easily die.
Flreleas stove (or Housewives.
Every housewife, says George H. Mur
phy, United States consular clerk at Frank
fort, Germany, knows that a pot of coffee
can be kept hot for a considerable time
without the aid of Are, simply by wrapping
It In a dry towel In order to hinder the
escape of heat. A tireless stove, or hay
box, is a further development of the same
Idea, which Mrs. Back, wife of the di
rector of the Industrial school at Frank
fort, recommends 43 a most serviceable
article of kitghen furniture.
At first Mrs. Back used the box merely
for the purpose of keeping finished food
warm, but It was not long before she dis
covered that the process of cooking con
tinued in tuc box. She thereupon extended
Its use, making a series of experiment
which resulted in pleasant surprises. She
soon found that she could rtnish in the
box all boiled and roasted meats, sauces,
fish, soup, vegetables, fruit, puddings, etc.
Of course the box cannot be used for beef
steak)', cutlets, pancakes, and the like, ar
ticles whose chief attraction lies In the
crlspness resulting from rapid cooking on
a hot fire, but when food of this kind is
being prepared it Is a grest comfort to
the housewife to know that the rest of the
meal Is ready and hot In the box.
In grneral. It Is found that two or three
minutes of actual boiling on the fire is
amply sufficient for vegetables, while
roasted meat requires twenty to thirty
minutes. Most articles should remain
tightly closed In the box for two or three
hours, though they can be left there to
keep hot for ten or twelve hours. If neces
sary. Rice, drted beans, lentils, dried fruit,
etc.. should ilrst be well soaked in cold
water. After being allowed to boll for
from two to ftve minutes, one to two hours
In the box will prepare them thoroughly
for the table. Cabbage should be prepared
the evening before It la 10 be used. It
should be placed in the pot with very
little water, cooked well In lta own Juice,
and put ovcrnlg.it In the Imy-bux. Just
Uefurn dinner cat the following day it
should he warmed on the stove. Cauli
flower and other soft vegetables should bu
merely brought to a boil and then placed
for an hour or two io the box. Soups
are greatly improved by being allowed to
develop for two or three hours In the hay
box. The hay-boxes now being offered for sale
In German stores are usually lined and
partitioned with hay, felt, etc.. and the
receptacles are furnished with covers
which can be securely locked. Such box. -a
are useful when food is to be transported
for Instance, from restaurants but there
Is una serious objection to thuiu their im
movable felt und uplioUtery may become
moist und mouldy. A home-made hay
box alll usually be found cheaper and
more practical. Any kind of pots can be
used, although earthen ones hold the heat
best. When the pots have neon placed in
the box wlihout lifting the lide, they
should bs covered alth a pillow and the
lid t once securely closed.
The chief advantages of th hay-box may
be summarised as follow ;
1. The cost of fuel can be iediuel four
fifths or even nine-tenths.
2. The pots are not made difficult to
wash: they are not blsckencd, mid they
will lait a long time.
I. The food is better cooked.
4. Kitchen odors are obviated.
8. Time and1 labor are saved.
6. Men and women working In the fields
or having night employment can tuke with
them hot coffee, soup or an entire meal.
7. When different employments make it
necessary Mr the various members of a
family to take their meals at different
hours this can be arranged.
8. The kitchen need not be in disorder
half of the day.
9. Warm water can always be had when
there Is illness In the house.
10. Milk for the boby ran be kept warm
all night In a pot of watar.
II. Where workirgmen's families live
crowded In one or two rooms the addi
tional suffering caused by kitchen heat Is
obviated by the hay-box.

no mention was mads of tho material. It
was simply stated that the goods were to
be according to sample. A few months
later they came on, barrels and barrels
of bolts and screws made of wood puinted
black. They were according to sample
and had to be paid for.

III the buildings, Ordinary cottnges stand
un costly cement foundations. At tho An
con stables there is a bath tub made for
the borate which Is 15 feet wide, 75 feet
long and 4 feet deep. It Is o arranged
that water can be easily let into it. It
was the custom of the French engineers to
have their racing ponies washed off in this
way Instead of currying them. There were
also costly chicken coops, and what t
Judge is the costly hog house on record,
Hiding up Ancon hill the other night I
discovered it. I had passed the hospitals
and took a road that led off into the
jungle, supposing It would bring me down
the .hill on the other side. The road was
paved ar.d guttered, and Mr. Johnson, who
was with me, estimated that it must have
cost at least $11,000 a mile to build. We
followed it, and its end was a pig pun. And

feet wide and built entirely of concrete,
with lion bupports upholding a gal vanned
roof. Tho peii was divided Into compart
ments, each of which had Its cement trough;
and it waa, all told, large enough to Jiave

asked Mr. Johnson utrnt It would cost to
build such a structure, and he implied
that a low estimate would be tlu.Oco. Ulmilar

Speaking of roads, the commission Is rap

will construct a highway to the Savannas.,

on Is through an old stone crusher, which
tho supervising architect has erected on the
side of Ancon hill, below a natural quarry
Tho rocks are rolled down the hill onto a
receiving platform, and thence fed Into the
jaws of tho crusher, being distributed by
a shaker Into the several sizes needed for
rock foundations and road work. Tills
crusher was made up out of old material
left by the French. The jaws came from
ouo place, the steam engine from another
and the pucauvllle. cars and track from a
third. ' Altogether, they form an excellent
machine, which works quite as well as

"By lufhority of the 7niud State '
AWARD
" For the excellent character of the designs; the execution of
14 the work in the delicate and artistic shading, shown in figure and
" landscape; the expression of faces and attitudes, produced with
"the accuracy of the artist's brush; the perspective observed the
"wonderful fidelity of detail in the reproduction of dress. The
" flesh tints in the faces and the light in the eyes; the hair and
"the features arc so skillfully depicted as to warrant the belief
"that it is the work of the brush and not of the needle. The
"high quality of the work merits the most unreserved praise; the
"advance made in applying to artistic creations what was first
"intended simply for the useful, marks an Era in the World's
" Progress as weH as in the development of the Sewing Machine."
"The advance in this regard in these machine tapestries is both
"notable and gratifying, creating a new industry that maybe
"claimed as distinctively American and reviving a classic textile
"decoration formerly restricted to the few, but now available to
"the many."
