away. The Infanta of Spain, Mies
daughter, of only 7 years was bargaieed
for by thee Regeut of Nance for the
wife of Louis XV. The conditions of
the contract then made by Philip,
who was a, rigid Catholio, were first,
"that the Balla Unigenitus should be
forced into the unaniinons Acceptance of the
clergy of France, and secondly, that the
coziseience of the young King should be
con6ded to the eare of a Jesuit coufessor."
These conditions being complied with, the
poor little girl was eeist to !earls to be eche,
eateel for her position. For some reason
the proposed maaeie.ge became distasteful,
and the Infanta was seal -mine to her father,
much 1.0 his wrath. Another bride for
politzcal reasons was selected—no love a.bout
it. The ill-fated Marie Antoinette was
rs
traded. off in the settle manner for state
reasons, and marriage was thus degradedas
r a ;natter of diplomacy. To this day royal
daughters are held in ownership to be be-
stowed m suarriage as bestsuits the interest
and schemes of those in power.
"Another part of the ebureh service that

Frazier in his speech noefinet it, said that

to have money in their pockete to spend ail

time he wanted some, he would be able to
see it.
Another thing in the marriage /service
that needa to be revised ia that requiring
the woman to obey her husband. That 18 a
relic of the same old liarbaroue conditions
that were under the old common law, ana
that in practice have been largely outgrown.
If a wife is to solemnly pledge 'herself
to obey her husband she cennot be called
a free woman. The failure of many nearrieee can be traced back to the tyranny
that exercises coercion under cover of this
promise to obey. In this matter of ma ;ti-
nge the church service needs revision as
much as dm the Westminster Confession of
Faith. It is surprisingthat ministers no
not see that they impair the solemnity of
marriage when the form used requiresprom-
hies that have no binding forco on the con-
tracting parties.
Airs. Alice eicatcherd, of Leeds, who was
a delegate to the international Council ef
Women held in Washington, said that the
low of iuteetacy in Eng.and is unjust to all
women, There if a inn dies without a will
•his male relatives get a larger share than do
hisfenialerelatives; if a woman dieswithout
malting a will her male relatives gee a
larger share than her female relatives.
If a man dies without children, and
he haa no near relatives, it would
naturally be suppesed that his money
would go to his wile; not so—she is only
allowed one-half. W119 gets the other hall?
The Crown. But if a wife die', without
making a will and she bas no children or
near relatives the husband gets the whole
of it. This partiality and Inequality are
as plainly sot forth in the intestate laws of
this countty.
"Women have great need to know
something of the laws which have been
made for them. Through the loving care
of good husbands they are largely pro -
Meted from the hardships imposed by the
survival of statutes that are now a disgrace
to civilization. But where is the sense of
allowing laws to remain that every fair-
minded man knows are unjust and that seem
to be only for the interest of mean men and
rascals ? In Mrs. Devereux Blake's report
upon the "Legal Condition of Women in the
United States "she says that in spite of all
the prating about home being the sphere of
women, in a large part of the country a
married woman bas no legal home. After
her husband's death the widow may remain
40 days in her husband's residence—so runs
the law in more than half the States. In
the knowledge of all are tragedies in real
life that surpass tbe most vivid pictures of
fiction, that have been caused by the
"inhumanity of man." Conscientious and
considerate husbands protect their wives
from the hardships ot the law, but such
hardships should not exist. Such laws should
be blotted out.
In the South a woman may be deprived of
every cent she has in the world by her hus-
band, and submit to sec her own property
squandered by him on immoral companions.
Self sacrifice is ever the preaching to women.
It would be better for all if they would
let thatgo a little, and study upthe making
of equal and impartial laws. It would be
for the interest of all women if the good
sisters would let the heathen rage for
awhile, to let the Indians have such a taste
of" wholesome neglect" as would force them
to work rather than be forever on the beg,
and take up the time in such study of the
law as would prepare them for the coming
Constitutional Convention, when the repeal
of unjust laws could be urged with good ef-
fect. Notice may be given right here that
there should be representative women in
that convention, It needs the wisdom of
both men and women to make marrriage and
divorce laws that will be fair alike to hire
band and wife.

te know bow the law affects women in the

" Women know so little alma law that
when in the course of business they run up
againat an enactment menifeatly unjust to
them, they nem to suddenly wake up to
the idea that they Imve some stake in the
country and some rights that the law-
makers should he bound to respect. A
woman in Texas las found out a thing or
o recently, as she relates. that it would be
wellfor many to itnow. She owned in her
own right a valuable lot, a.ud she desired to
meow mow Alpine it to build a Wm. On
her riait to a money lender, (ho firat gnee-
gen we; "Were yen born in the Uuited

gotiation, much to her surprise, Was ended.
Inquiry brouAt out the faettliat an "alien
law" reeenitly pissed in Texas WaS tO the
effeet that wine hut a eitizee, or one who
had declared his intention to become a citi.
could loan rnerary on or own any real
estate in the State ot Texas.
With this law confront ing her, she aeys,
o saw plainly that she must declare her
iutenUun to become a citizen if she wanted
to ietain her property, or borrow money
upou it, She then went to the proper A-
ocr to Ise naturalized. The first question
II00O was: "Are you a male 21 yeara or up-
ward t" Of couree the answer could be
nothing but "no,' with the additional re-
mark that as the Legielature had passed e
law confiseating her property if she did not
take outpepera, au4 become a citizen she
was anxiotte to do so,
"Her application was met with smilea of
derieion, and the clerk told her that in the
great State of Texas women were notnatur-
alized as citizens; that, if her husband was
a citizen shelves one too, and if he was not,
then he would have to take out papers and
make her one in his name. To this she re-
plied that iOni had earned this property by
her own labor; that it was recorded in her
own moue and that she paid the taxes on it.
The law did not allow her to hold the pro-
perty unless she became a citizen, and the
law would, not permit her either to declare
intentions or to take out papers as a citizen.
After a vast deal of trouble andeonsidemble
expense in lawyer's fees, she anceeeded in
securing the money she desired. Such an
experience epoxied her eyes to the inequality
of the law,. and she endeavored to have it
in
shown up the newspapers, but not ono of
them, as she relates, would publish an item
upon the subject. This shows they have
very one-sided ideas as to what constitutes
fair play in Lone Star State.
"In South Carolina, which is held up as
idle model State in which no divorce can be
secured, it may be supposed that domestic
felicity is assured, that men and women
knowing that marriage for them meant a
sentencefor life accommodated themselves to
circumstances, and in ease of mistake, set-
tled down to the acceptance de bad bargain,
the parties taking each other literally and
truly "for better or for worse," as the
church setvice prescribes.
"The hardship of this law falls upon the
wornen in most cases. They are utterly de-
peuden t upon their husbands for everything.
Food, clothes and the comforts of life can
be doled 'out to them either liberally or
scantily, at the husband's option. Wives
in that state are held subordinate by both
church and lasve as were (be negroes before
the war. One woman who before her mar-
riage nasi inherited a plantation from her
father and some houses in a neighboring
town, which produced a good income, said
she was as poor as the wife of any laborer at
a dollar a day.
"Her husband collected and pocketed the
proceeds of her estate for his own gratifica-
tion, while she lived a sad and narrow life,
with only the hope of heaven to give her
comfort. "To go to God in prayer, to cast
her burden on the Lord" was all the advice
she got from her pastor. The church cora-
mended her to be obedient to her husband—
her lot in life, sad as it was, had been or-
deined for her by decree of Providence for
some wise and mysterious purpose. So said
her spiritual teacher. There would be a
lot of °oinked in this, if she could acquire
the faith of St. Lawrence,who got himself
up to the point of despising everything in
the world that was delightsome, and suffered
sorrow patiently es a forerunner of eternal
bliss. Millions of people sing,
When I cn,n road my title clear
To mansions in the skies
Illbidfarowell to every fear,
And wipe my weeping eyea
but it is not borne in upon the mosb of them
to submit cheerfully to misfortune and
smile where there is cause for tears. .
"Although our spiritual teachers are con-
tinually teaching submission and promising
no end of compensation in the future, it
would seem more to the purpose to stir up
such agitation as would move men's nunds
torepeal laws that are manifestly unjust
add injurious, and in which are exhibited
the barbarism of past ages. The idea of
ownership by a man, and subjection upon the
part of a woman is presented in the marriage
ceremonyby the question of the parson:
"Who giveth this woman to be married to
his
man." This, which is only a form of
eerds in these days when a woman has the
right end poweato enter into such contract;
of her own,,fgee will , is a survival of the
old eivilie n which held that wives and
duughte ' owned by men. What

A plan was formed to frighten to death a
certain Tim Casey on his return from mar-
ket by night past the churchyard. As he
passed, the usua,1 turnip, white sheet, and
lanthorn of the conventional ghost were
submitted to his gaze with ,the customary
weird howls. Tim however simply looked
fixedly ot the apparition for a moment, ano
remarked, " Arrah, now, and is it a gener-

Inumbeil themselves together the light was

rays frequently shot to the zenith aud as
they rolled together, formed beams of throb-
bing green „ht like that of the early
gloaming iu point of luminosity. It suggest-
ed indeed that the Nicer of Odin and the
clubs of the frost mane were brandished

absorbed by it. Frequently the lights
asumed the form of drapery, a curtain

Dress Reform.
In reading the opinions on dress reform
for women, current in the papers just now
have.been thinking thatwhatwe reallyneed-
ea was to reform ourselves, and dress reform
would follow naturally. I do not agree
with the editor of the Arena that a general
discussion is necessary to any change of cus-
tom, but rather with Emerson that one is
"weaker by everyrecruit to his banner,"
and Thoreau that "the true reformat does
not need time, nor money, nor corporation,
nor advice," and that a reform may be
begun any morning, without 'unbolting the
doors.' The reformer that is afraid, or
leans on somebody else—what kind of re-
former is that?—particularly when there is
nothing to be afraid of. We are forever
clamoring for more rights, more rights—let
us stop a minute and think -whether we
use the rights we have. There is no law,
there is not even prejudice against a woman
dressingsensibly, as she will very soon see
if she tries it. Said 1 to my dentist one
day: "If I were to come into this office
with my skirts as short as those of a four.
teen -year-old girl, you would nob have me
here. "No," said he, "it would cause
comment." But they have always cleared
the ground by six inches mei neither he nor
his fashionable clientele has ever even
noticed it.
We need not jump to extremes Miner -
vas do not spring forth full -armored nowa-
days, not even from the heads of the Joves,
as witness the above dentist, who bemoaned
to me his stiff linen cuffs, which hindered
the free play of his muscles. Don't follow
the fashions, and they will follow you. I
always wear full, gathered, light -weight
skirts and as surely as the seasons come
round, sooner or later such skirts "are
worn," and lo, I am in fashion. I wear
comfortable blouse waists in which I can
breathe, and again does fashiondom adopt
this style, anct the stone that the builders
rejected becomes the head of the corner. I
can walk in my short skirts and breathe
through my twenty-six inch waist, yet so
far as I am aware I am nob" talked about"
and never get into the papers unless I walk
M. I venture to say none of you have ever
seen me on the streets, have you? Yet I
walk many a mile in my easy shoes. Don't
think I am setting myself up .as a pattern—
heaven forbid. Don't follow me—don't fol-
low anybody—follow yourselves, and see
how emya path ibis. These mighty agita-
tions remind me of soine horses on moonlight
nights, who raise their feet very high to
step over great obstructions which are only
shadows. 'The way to resume 15 10 resume,'
said John Sherman, and did so. It was
worth more than all the bankers' Conven-
tient.
"I beg your pardon," remarked a man on
his svey homeat 3 a.m. ; "are you a police-
man ?"
" Yes, sir," responded the officer confi-
dently.
"Excuse me," continued the man. "I
wasn't sure, seeing you were awa ke."
TSMPEn.—It is temper which makes the
bliss of home or destroys comfort. It is not
in the collision of intellect that domestic
peace loves to nestle. The home is in the
forbearing nature, in the yielding spirit, in
the calm pleasures of a mild disposition
enemas to give end receive happiness.

Mr. Finkeiabinderti reply was a awingliag
*ght-hander. It lit squarely on the red -
whiskered party's goggles, knocking them
all oat of shape, and breaking the glesee.e all
to fragments.
The next two or three minutes seemed like
a dream to Mr. Finkenhinder. He dimly
remembered that he experienced sensations
as of a man being tossed, from one aideof
the as, to the other, flattened against the
roof, janueed under seats, whirled round on
his own axis, opened and shut like a jack-
knife, and used a4 a football.
There was a roaring in /de ears, sparks of
Ike danced before Ina eyes:, and an oiler like
that of brimstone filled the air. Women
screamed, mon dodged and there was a
general rush for the doors.
At the expiration of his engagement with
the rod -whiskered party Mr. Fiultenbinder
found himeelf sitting on the.. ground. Re

about him to take his bearings, and the re-
collection of what it was all about came to
him by degrees.
Ho went slowly back to the crossing where
his wife was waiting for him. His hat was
gone, his coat was split Ilp the back, his
nose was twice its natural size, one end of
his shirt collar was loose and dangled mourn-
fully over his shoulder, ono eye was alined,
and he was covered with dust and humilia-
tion from head to foot.
"Did you demand satisfaction from
the brute, [Am? asked Mrs. Finkenbinder,
as lier husband hobbled t nvard her.
" 0, yes 1" lie replied, glaring at her with
his only visible eye. "1 demanded satisfac-
tion from him. And I got it, madam—I
got it flop° you aro as well satisfied as
I am. Has there been any other giant,
that has stepped on your skirts or dared to
look at you since I have been gone? If so,"
he wont on with horrible calinness. "I'm
ready to go and paralyze him, madam!
Want me to go and whip anybody else?
Any other seven -foot man with a fist like a
canvas -covered ham that you'd like to have
me go and knook down for daring to live in
the mune ward you do ? You don't happen
to think of any? Then come on, madam.
With your permission your champion will
escort you home."
And followed at a little distance by Mrs.
Finkenbinder, he hobbled on down the
street, somewhat demoralized, but thorough-
ly satisfied.—Chicago Tribune.
Sleep for Young: People.
A German specialist, Dr. Cold, hat recent-
ly pleaded for giving young people more
sleep. A healthy infaent sleeps most of the
time during the first weeks; and in the early
years people are disposed to let children
sleep as much as they will. But from six or
seven when school begins,there is a complete
change. At the age of ten or, eleven the
child sleeps only eight or nine hours when
he needs at least ten or eleven; and, as he
grows older, the time of rest is shortened.
Dr. Cold believes that to 20 a youth needs
nine hours' sleep and an adult should have
eight or nine. With insufficient sleep the
nervous system, the bridn especially, not
resting enough and ceasing to work normally
we find exhaustion, excitability and intel-
lectual disorders gradually taking the place
of love of work, general well-being and tbe
spirit of initiative.
Many vegetables are better or not having
the skin cat before being cooked. For this
reason, as well as ease in cleansing, a vege-
table brush is a necessity.

Of the threeprincipalgrains—corn, wheat,

total yield this year is estimated by the
Department of Agriculture at not less than
3,400,000,000 bushels. That is equivalent
to more than fifty bushels for every man,
woman, and child in the country, or about
fifty pounds a week apiece, When due
allowance is made for infants, who do not
count for much, it is easy to see how plenty
of seed grain can be saved out of each

The eager racers and the successful com-
