A WOMAN’S TITOUGIITS ON WOM- AN’S WORK, To the Editor of The Tribwie, Cuicao, March b.—Few women know what they sre undertaking when they propose {o themselves atarcer of work. They are nlways more or less biinded by clicumstances. A woman either works fom necessity, or she does not. If she works from necessity her attention Je distracted by the sasicty the necessity entails, and she cannot do persell Justice, 1f she works for amusement, she Jobeset by othier but equal difficulties, It is usual- Jysome timo before her work brings o price, and pmtil it does this, no matter what tsintrinsicworth may be, it I8 practically of no value, cither to her orany one else, - Peoplo will always pay for what fhoy nead. but if they will not buy work for com- fort, instruction, or amusement, then manifestly it is not needed und had better not be done, Ir a woman protests that people are ignorant of what * they really nced, wo can only reply ‘‘all the worse for you, the fact remains the sawe.

To the Editor of The Tribune, Cricaco, March 7.—A writer in The 1lome a few weeks ago made some statements that must have won the heartfelt approval of many men. She says she only reads The lome, and as to whether the Rosstans or Turks aro to be victorious, she neither knows nor cares. I think ghe is the typical” woman fn whom they glory. Are wero thoroughly incrusted in sclfish- mees, or s it so long since war brought desolation to our own hearthstones, that we should neither kiow nor care whether other countrics are endur- inzs the untold sutfering and privations which war cntails? Must our familics be necessarily neglected, if wo taketime to read and think a liftle about the famine which is destroying thousands? 1f we fecl alitle pity o8 we rewd nccounts of women and children atarving and (reezing to death, who would now be hanpy and comfortable if peace and not war prevailed? Womaw's sphere1sa fruitful subject of discus- slon, and opiniuns are many and diverse upon what does or dack not make woman unwomanly. Deronda thinks women **ioo exalted ¥ They may go down-town shopping every day, spendiug the timo chafiing with the clorks, pricing everytlung, and buying very Nittle; they muy weel undauntediy the siarc of men on’the streets and in the cars; they may mbke speeches in conven- tions and preside at clubs, but to go quietly to the polls with the husband, father, or brothor, ana cast avote for the worthiest candidate would have the slm_uzu cilect of immediately unsexing and un- womanizing them, John Stuarl Mill troly says the opponcnts of aniversul sulfrage huve o argument for toe right of thuir side of the question, and slways fall back upon the long-time eentimental jurejudice which exists agaiustit, Still they do have an argument, They say ull women donot wish to vote.” True, Nelther do all men. Many men are 80 indolent or indifferent as> to seldom 4 or never vote for any one or anything, But that docs mot militate against their right. Men are not ruthlessly torn trom their business, or their pipes, or newspapers, to be burled into the secthing vortex of politics.” No wowman will be torn frowm thie sick hed of her child or from potting gernniums to uitend elections.

Not long ago a geutlenian who was an earnest worker in suci places npproached a group of streot vagrants, und, after cordially fuviling them to s, Mission Sundoy-schiool, saluted them pleasantly upon leaving, maying: ‘‘Good day, gentlemen, I hope you may go to Ileaven.” ‘licy shouted out after him, **I'hope you will go to Hell " 1t it had been a woman they wounld very likely have sald worsc; still we render houor to the noble men and women who endure insults'Tor the sake of saving souls.

Launa EarLe, CATARRIL To the Editor of The Tribune. Srcavor, Iil., March #.—I have heen equally paincd and amused at the many suggestions for the cure of catarrh appearing in your Home de- partment, ranging from salt and sulphur to cubebs and carbolic acid. Having had a large and varied experience with that disazreeable discase, I irnet ¥ may be able to give help to many sufferers from its annoying ravages, First, then, the patient must divest himself at once and forever of the fdea that heistobe cured by the local application of any {rritating drug whatever. Temporary relief may be had by the use of & number of cooling and cleans- ing solutions, the simplest of them all being salt and tepid water; or, what is still better, except, perhaps, in advanced cases, pure, soft water elightly \warmed, applied with the nasal douche, ‘e ‘method of cure applicable to the largest number of cascs, and all ytages of the discase, and followed the more rigidly and carefully the farther the discase hos advanced, isas follows: Confine yourself to a dict_composed exclusively of grains and fruits, in moderate quantity, laken regularly, well masticated, and with no drink whatever with the food or goon thereafter. In extreme casce, only two meals n day of diysw:nuc bread and fresh fruite. The articles of food particularly to bo avoided are meats of every kind, fine flour bread, cake and pastry, milk, butter, cheese, sugar in excess, —in fact, the whole catalogue of spices and condiments. This may scem like o E\\'Ccohll{ll’e- duction of our ordinary bill of fare, but you will be astonishéd at the variety and palatablencss of what 2an be prepared from few and simple materials by fhe cxercise of o little ingenuity. Keep the porcs of the skin open with butns of suchi temverature and duration us are most agrecable: and right here 1 do insist that no one suffering with catarrhshould {ake a cold bath nnder any circumstances that will give the system a shock from which It does notim- ediately recover, Ventilate your rooms night and day in this way if you bave no better plan: A board six jnches in width and of a Jength corresponding to the width of the window is inserted under the lower half of the sash in cach of two windows. Tlus leaves an opening between the sash in the centre that will Yentilate o room nicely, with scarce o possibility of creating & draught. e apoye plan of cure, which, of course, is mercly outlined, has been "teled with wonderful Bheoesa1n my own cose aud many others under my personal_observation, and, while it may require fome se)f-denial, 1 am confident that all who zive it a thorouga trial must be convinced of the truth of the theory upon which it is based, and which mny be stated brmfl{ and unscicntiically as fol- lows: That stimulating food and drinks derange the digestive and secretory organs, rendering mucuns membrané linble fo irritation and inflam- nntion, and degeneration begins tirst in parts most exposed; and fumust follow thuts cure can only Dbe accomplished by getting the whole system back futo its normal, unstimulated, and healthy condi- tion. soi 1 \will take great pleasure in giving fuller direc- tions to any member of The Ifome who may spply {o e, withont further compensation than I may receive from the knowleage that they may be re- Jieved from that annoying and frequently disgust- ing Gisease. ToNiA. HISTORY MADE EASY. Ta the Editor of The Tribtne. BosconeL, March 5.—1I took a walk one day. I wandered along no crowded thoroughfarc, where the car caught, 'meath the rustle of silken gar- Iments and the loud rumble and roar of commerce, the steady monotonous undertone of passing foot- steps, but T went alone adown the paths of History, and yet not alone, for as I advanced, step by step. dead men and women of the long-ago 8prang up along the way, each one with their story of flmbi.- tion and despair, their glory and power, and their overthrow, And 23 1walked I heard the rustle of Jeaves and saw the flash and glitter of the wind- biown waves of the Bospaorus, and came upon the city of Byzantium, whicl: was founded by a b:\m} of Mcgarians from Megaris, district of anclent Greece, before the middle of the seventh centary, B. C. ‘And upon the site of this old city stands the modern one of Constantinople. 1t was destroyed by Otancs, o Persian gatrap, in the the time of Darus Hystaspls. about 500 BA‘ c. After the Perslans were defeated, 476, Pausaniog, {he Spartan Genera), recolonized it and frow that time many a time the sceptre of mecr paseed bick and forth between Athens and Byzantium. and many & time the city was besieged and taken by the Athenians, only to be retaken after months or years by the Spartans. We are told that Pausanios, aftera iife of power and intrigue, wlen abont to be arrested fied to the tempie of Athena Chalcioecus for safety, and, while there, a8 he waited in fear nnd doubt.’ he was walled in, his mother laying the firet stone in the wall that shut him in from dear life and the world. In 408 it was conquered by Alcibiades, an Athenian. e i who bonsted “that he devcended from Ajax (**who wns third in the male descent from Jui- ter"), and through him from Jupiter himself. The ‘shicld he nlwaye carried in warwas fnlaid with gold and fvory, and was embellished with the device of Jupiter hurling o thunder-bolt. The fine position and magnificent harbor soon raiscd 1o great importance, and the wealth und commerce of Byzantium won for the harbor the name of the “¢Golden tlorn.” Once, when besieued by Philip of Mucedon, he had arranged to caplure it by sur- prise. In “‘starless darkness™ Jay the city, un- conecions of the impending danger. Ilid ‘in the black robes of night her sentincls stood on gnued, while through the gloom ~tne ranks of Macedonian warriors crept silently for- ward, The city's doom was, ~almost spoken, when snddenly a brilliant flash 1it up the heavens, and its bright hands swecping back the curtains of night revealed the besicgera. And down the avenue of ages comes 1o us tie sounds of | alarm, the roll of drums, and the rush of defense that sdved the city. *'A ‘crescent wasxlamped npon the Byzantine coins in honor of the miraculons event,” and when the Tarks took Constuntinonle {n the ifteenth century, **they adopted it as their national embiem,” When besieged by the Roman Imperor Severus, it held-out three years, but finlly surrendered 196 A, D., and was Jeveled to the ground. When the Romans, under Constan- tiue, conquered it he resolved 1o make it the Capi- tal of the Roman Emplre, and he built 8 new city 310 A. D., and xo Byzajtium passed away and Constantinople arose, It is raid of Constantine, who embraced Christianity, that he eaw in the arching sky a cross, with the inscrip- tion, **In ‘I'nis Conquer,” and from his time the crosy (the symbol of Christianity), once despised Dy the Romans, gleamed and glittered on their shiclds aud royal banners. Since the Turks con- quered it in 1453 they have been at war almost continually with different uations, and during nearly the whole of the eighteenth centory were ut war with Russia, part of the time with Austrin, also with Eneland and France, and again with Greece, Egypt, and Ruesia, And again, after somne years of peace, the Russian and Turicsh sol- diers have mnsm and died, and again all eyes are turned toward Constantinople. ‘e history of Byzantium and Constantinople has been one of bloadshed. and power. and defeat, aud, when wo think of it, we can but see the fleets of many coun- tries flontiug on the waters of its harbor, their sol- diers fightin through the streets and dying amid the rainy, and know that always the blows ind bullets that fell and flew performed the two-fold mission of killing menand shuttering women's hearts.

WHY, AND WOY? To the Editor of The Tribune. JANESVILLE, Wis., Feb. 27.—W. 0. C., do you not know, can you not guess, why, when girls are **wooed and married and a'," they forget that cunning of the fingers that perhaps helped to *‘thrum ™ aloverinto matrimontal toils? Pianos?

What matter 1f ehe does not know a Mel- delssohn from Yaokee Doodle? The edict is, *‘Play!” and she plays. After what fashion? Like 8 machine, and a poor onec at that. What I mean fs, that girls learn to play the prano, not from n love of musie, not beesuse God has given them genins in the divine art, not because music isin the soul and mast dimple, and glow, and awell to delightfal measures frow their Anger-tips, but because **evergbody plays.” Conscquently, when the zest of girlnood’s game of life has cooled in the cares of matrimony, or her **lottery " in life’s winnings leaves weariness in its train, what cares she for fhie music which **was always o bore,” and the *‘practicing” which was always a punishment?

A woman with *musicin her soul™ will never abandon the expreesion of her love as long as ehe can find an inetrument to interpret for her.

On the river's marein, just at the ter- minus of the bridge on the chief thoronghiare, in a basement hugging the water's edge. is u brewery.
