SWEDISH WOMEN IN A CLU3.
l Chicago Said to Have the Only Organiza-
tion of the Kind in, the United States.
Chicago boasts the only club of Swe-
dish women in the United States. There
Swedish parentage. Of these fully
100,000 are residents of Chicago, mak-‘
ing it- really the second Swedish city in
the world, ranking next to Stockholm.
According to the Chicago Times-Her-
ald 40,000 of them are women, and, out—
side of the sewing societies and Sunday
school associations connected with the
Swedish churches, they have only one
organization of their own, the Swedish
American Women’s Equality Associa-
tion, which combines political, literary,
and social features. The Swedish-
American newspapers and preachers,
and the men generally, look on this
society as a huge joke, though the two
years of its existence have been most
successful. The men cannot associate
It with their old country idea of a we-
man’s place in the world.
Strange to say, the idea of organizing
this club originated in a New York wo—
man’s mind. That woman was Mrs.
Carrie Chapman Catt. Two years ago
she delivered» a lecture at Grace Eng-
Iish Lutheran church, and the club was
the outgrowth of the lecture. A great
many prominent Swedish women were
present, and Mrs. Emmy Evald issued
1 call for a meeting. Ten women re-
sponded and enrolled themselves as
members of the present club, and for
:he first time Chicago Swedish women
voted for candidates _ for the School
Board and the University.
The purpose of the club is “to obtain
ior the Swedish-American woman wid-
er opportunity for advancement, spir-
atllill and intellectual culture,_and so—
:ial progress.
The club has only seventy members,
out these are representative women,
and they intend to branch out and make
their organization a nucleus for similar
:lubs in not only their city, but also in
all cities where Swedes are to be found
11 large numbers. The club meets
nonthly, when a paper is read by a
member, and is followed by a general
liscussion. l
E ()LUTION OF SOUTHERN WOMEN.
Have Gained a. Self-Reliance NESOI'
Dreamed of Before the \Var.
in 1860 there were only about half
. million females in the United States
ugaged in gainful pursuits, almost all
t' whom were women and girls at
ark in the factories in the New Eng-
Z;:.rl States. Few or none of them
ccrld have been found south, of Mn-
.cn and Dixon’s line. In this year of
grace, 1897, there are five million
rage-earning women in our country,
of whom the South has its full propor-
tion. This evolution had its inception
when the war closed and the South lay
prostrate and impoverished, its fer-
tile fields a desert waste, its four mill-
ions of slaves liberated, itson-e million
of splendid men dead or disabled, and
its fair women and their children half
naked'a‘nd half starved. These women
had been reared in the lap of luxury
and were distressingly helpless, lan-
guid and dependent. Thousands of
these were left self-dependent,- with
young children to‘raise and educate.
However much they shrank from do-
ing men’s work, they had to do it,
and did it well. The necessity that
seemed a calamity has proved a. bless-
ing., The evolution or development
lhrough which the Southern women
have passe-d has resulted'in their re-
markable growth, and in no way im-
paired their attractiveness. They are
stronger physically and mentally.
They are vastly more self-reliant, and
more independent of men. They real-
Ize their superiority to such men as
are thriftless, self-indulgent, or dissi—
pated, and look upon them with pity
3r contempt. They have discovered
in themselves possibilities of which
they never dreamed.-—Godey’s Maga-
zine. , ,

President Kruger‘s Widow.
President Kruger’s now famous de-
iision in the case_ of a dispute be-
tween two sons as to the division of
their father’s property—it having been
willed equally between them—mas
gained the Boer President the title of
the “South African Solomon.” Presi-
dent Kruger said to the eldest son:
‘You are the eldest, are you not?”
‘Yes,” was the answer. “So you shall
iivide the property.” This pleased
the elder immensely. “You are the
younger,” continued Kruger to the
other, “so you shall have first choice.”

HOW TO FIND OUT.
Fill a bottle or common glass with
urine and let it stand twenty-four
hours; a sediment or settling indicates
an unhealthy condition of the kidneys
When urine stains linen it is evidence
of kidney trouble. Too frequent desire
to urinate or pain in the back, is also
I
convincing proof that the kidneys and
bladder are out of order.
‘ WHAT TO DO.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer’s
Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy
fulfills every wish in relieving pain in
the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and
every part of the urinary passages. It
corrects inability to hold urine and
scalding pain in passing it, or bad ef-
fects following use of liquor, wine or
beer. and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled to get up
ate. The mild and the extraordinary
effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized.
It stands the highest for its wonderful
cures of the most distressing cases. If
you need a medicine you should have
the best. Sold by druggists, price fifty
cents and one dollar. You may have a
sample bottle and pamphlet both sent
free by mail. .Mention THE GAZETTE,

ELECTRICITY PHOTOGRAPHED.
[Lord Armstrong 'fAccomplishgs Whal
., Scientists Have Triedfog Years.
Lord Armstrong, 'ongnglaiid, has?
succeeded in accomplsihing something
that scientists have tried in vain to do
for years—that is to photograph an
electric spark. It was done 'by placing
a camera and a powerful electric ma-
chine in a darkened room. There was
a plate in the camera cover-
ed with a light fine powder,
which, when the spark was dis-
charged, would be driven about by the
electric‘ streams and the electricity
would thus give the luminousity which
would enable it to be-‘caught in the act
of setting the duSt in motion.
The photographs taken by Lord
Armstrong prove that there is really
no such thing as electric fluid. Elec-
tricity is a vortex movement, like the
smoke—rings which the smoker blows
from his month. That is, electricity
moves round and round the circumfer-
ence of a ring, being sucked in by one
face of the ring and shot out by the
other. ,
One of the photographs taken by
Lord Armstrong shoWs the electric cur-
rent when two opposite discharging
poles are brought near one another.
This shows a marked difference be-
tween the current at the positive and
negative poles—New York World.
BETTER THAN LIGHTNING RODS.
Leaves Are the Most Effective Conductor
, of Electricty.
The green leaf is the best conductor
of electricity that most powerful and
destructive of all the forces of the
earth. To guard our homes and pub-
lic buildings from its destructive ac-
;ion, we erect our lightning rods, whose
sharp points quietly drain the clouds,
or, failing to do this, receive the dis—
charge and bear it harmlessly to the
earth. But ages before Franklin point-
ed the first lightning rod to the storm,
God has surrounded the dwellings of
man with a protection far more effect-
ual than this for since the creation of
organic life, every pointed leaf and
blade of grass have been silently dis-
arming the clouds of their destructive
weapons.A twig covered with leaves,
sharpened by Nature’s exquisite work-
manship, is said to be three times as
effectual as the metallic points of the
best constructed rod. And when we re-
llect how many thousands of these veg-
etable points every large tree directs to
fihe sky and consider what must be the
efficacy of a single forest with its in-
numerable leaves, or of a single mead-
ow with its countless blades of grass,
we see how abundant the protection
from the storm is, and with what care
Providence has guarded us from the
destructive force—London Echo.

Amusing \Vay in Which a Goat Showed
Its Contempt. . _ -
While walking the streets some years
since, says a writer in Current Litera-
ture, my attention was attracted by 'a
loud' barking,~and then" by the sight
of an immense Newfoundland dog
which had attacked a very large -goat..
I‘he goat stood strictly and warily on
the defensive, and was evidently alarm-
ed, though he bravely kept his ground,
until the dog, remembering some other-
engagement, suddenly departed.
. .No sooner had he start-ed than a lit-
tle whiffet of a dog that had been
watching the scene with great interest
irom the other side of the street dashed
furious across, and, to the extent of
his ability, emulated the example of the
Newfoundland. The goat surveyed him
for an instant, then deliberatelyturn-
ing his back, vigorously butted an ad-'
iacent awuing pole with an expression
of great disgust. I did not hear what
Mark Twain calls “biblical language,”
but no doubt the valiant warrior
ble.
A Cemetery Story from DIa‘ine.
In a quaint old cemetery at Bass Har-
bor, Me, lies an aged couple who were
ioted in their life for their piety and
their active interest in meetings and
other good works. The old gentleman
n his exhortation would often speak of
wearing the crown, while the old lady
often spoke of blossoming as the» rose.
After .the.tombstones had been erected
it their graves with their names and
iges duly chronicled thereon, there ap-
aeared on his tombstone distinctly out-
lined the figure of a crown, while on
11ers appeared the figure of a full blown
--ose.
nany people who have visited the cem-
etery on purpose to see this wonderful
;ight.-—Deer Island Gazette.
