For fike thi; vhere even tardy justice is done, there ave a hun- dred cases where no one, outside of a little circle of familiar friends, has ever said a word in recognition of the part which women take so heroically in the government of the nation. Unless a woman is in ‘“‘society,” and in evi- dence all the time there, she is set down as ‘“‘domestic,” and therefore to be comparatively ignored, even thovgh she be the propeller and the rudder of her husband, the statesman. As a rule it is safe to suy that every pubiic man of prominence owes his position largely, perhiaps chiefly, to his wife, There are exceptions, of course, which will oceur to every one. but nevertheless this is the rule. Bright, studious, well in- formed, they not only perform all their own duties. but often their hushands’ as well. They can supervise correspon- dence; they can collect authorities and information; they can draft, correct, or revise n speech, But even when their 2 ministr; of a purely **domestic” char- | gymn: acter its influence is simply caleulable, | of a . Here in Washington, where it is ea 10 go behind the scenes the green room of the great theater of government, we know more than we can tell without violating courtesy about the value of wives to husbands, But it is not indelicate to just enumerate some of the examples most commonly exhibited in proof of all have said and many have thought about the power of wives in public life, Judge Jere Black immortalized his wife in his letters, and Judge Thurman has made his wife famous in his speeches and in- terviews. But their debt was no greater than that of oth. men. Sherman, Al- lison, Ingalls, Morrill, Frye, Vance. Morgan, Co 1 and Brown in the senate, to take the names which come first to mind, aroall in the same blessed indebtedness. So are Reed and Cannon and Burrows, Mills and W.C. P. Breck- enridge and Springer in tho house, to tuke again the topmost names. Few peonle would think of the wives of any of these men as indispensable in their public life, for they are all noted for their self-reliant courage, When one of them is in the full tide of a splendid speech or riding triumphant in astormy debate, he seems ahsolutely indepen- dent and self-sufficient. But over there in the reserved gallery sits a quiot lit- tle woman to whom ‘that success was predicted by the painful preparations which she helped to make—and it is to her and for her he is speaking, men and brethren, flattered though he be by vour appearance in the crowded gal- leries, “One silent look from her aftor it is all over is worth more to him than ull your vociferous applause.

She had never been in a gymnaseum before. As soon as she got her suit on she was trying to pull herself up a hovizontal bar and before I could stop her she had strained the tendons in both arms and couldn’t come back to exercise again for nearly three months. “Girls have to take a much more sys- tematic training than boys. They are not so strong and have to be treated more tenderly. There are hundreds of ways in which a girl can hurt herself in a gymnusium unless she is very careful, She can strain her arms and hands by too much exercise at anything, Si ean sprain her back by jumping 00 f on a spring board. “I have known girls to sprain their toes in the running high jump even when the bar was only a foot from the ground. High-heeled ‘shoes press the the toes downward and girls who wear them always land on their toes when they jump instead of on the ball of the foot.” “What exercises should agirl prac- tice at home?" asked the reporter, “Gymuastics, to be healthful, should only take a portion of the strength of one's muscle, and the constant exercise of these muscles is what develops them, I have seen some delicate girls exercis- ing with five-pourd dumb-bells, when some of the strongest athletes of the country only use two-pounders.

Iam glad to believe that Mary, the mother of Washington, will soon have her monument completed, although she has not had to wait as long for hers as her son did for his, says a Washington letter in the Philadelphia Record. But why does not some one propose a monu- ment to Martha, the wife of Washing- ton?

I have heretofore been in favor of prohibition as a remedy for drunkness. but I have greatly modified my opin- ion upon thequestionand am convinced after a careful swdy of the practical workings of prohibition, that it is not the best means to accomplish the end for which it was designed. The citizens of this state have given the ‘question a careful test and have, if the recent election is a criterion, decided that it is a failure and ask that it be repeaied, The recent election voiced the sentiment of the people and it is the opinion among very abie men of this state, and those who ave in a po- sition to know, that it will be repealed during the next legislature. If the leg- islature carries out the wish of the peo- ple and acts in accordance with the best interest of the state, they will cer- tainly substitute a loeal option, high license law for the present prohibition law, of this state that a law should be so completely overvidden as is the prohi- bition law. The saloons and brewries should be placed under control so that they could be punished for the abuses which they practice upon the people. In Nebraska the saloon keepers c be punished for the abuse of their priv- ile to handle liguors, but over here they nreabove the Jaws, and they pur- sue their business without being ve- sponsible to anyone. 1But, some one may say there are no suloon keepers in lown.

The fact is itis rather the rule. Upon this nuhimrt we quote the following from the Bur- lington Gazette: “Right here in Burlington theve are fully 150 of these places wday.” Now, if we must bave saloons, we should curtuil them by stringent laws— laws that will protect socioty against them; laws that will only allow careful, prudent men to handle and deal out in- toxicants, Some of the ardent and over-zealous supporters of prohibition are very loud in their efforts to make the people be- lieve that since the prohibition law was made,crime has materially lessened.

The silver-hicked brushes ave thrown down just where she left them, together with a tortoise-shell comb in- laid with silver, which a few moments ago threaded the silken meshes of the beauty’s hair. The brushes are of En- glish manufacture and provided with irregular bristles, and the handles are in the likenesses of writhing serpents or lizards with twisted tails, Some- times the backs are of veal ivory, with an interlaced monogram, and the clothes and hat brushes come eu suite, The latter are used to bamsh the fa est speck of dust from the costly cf tions of Louise or Virot, and hesides these is a gaily-colored feather duster, with long silver handle, which seems intended for the use of fairy fingers.
