A Woman Debator.
x feature of the important intellect-
;otl contest between Cornell and the
:fniversity of Penn. was the fact that
Miss Abigail Laughlin of Cornell was
the first woman who has ever been ad-
mitted to such a debate. It is said
Miss Laughlin presented the strongest
argument in the debate and Cornell
won. Her logical powers were unequal-
ed by any of her associates. The sub-
ject was a clause in the restriCted im-
migration bill which camc up before
the last Congress. And woman has
scored another victory.
Gradually the impression that wom-
an’s propensity is confined within the
narrow limits laid down for her from
times immemorable is being obliterat-
ed. Her proclivity is all for advance-
ment and who will hold her down ’?
More Sauce for the Goose.
Not long ago Sister Charlotte Smith
spoke right out in meeting and said
that old maids who had Tefused offers
of marriage should be made to pay a
tax much as Old bachelors
should be made to pay a tax for being
old bachelors. This noble and just ut-
terance did somewhat to restore a bal-

lage,
the practice of flirting with commercial
travelers, has decreed that no girl
:5 hall be allowed to loiter in the vicinity
of the railroad station unless she can
produce a railroad ticket.
Of course the girls will produce rail-.
road tickets, but the action of the town
council is proper, says the New Haven
Journal and Courier. It is just as prop-
cres the action of the Tennessee legis-
-. lature in passing an anti-flirting law in
which it was assumed that male human
beings are the only oneswho need re-
straint from flirting. It is cheering to
find that in Ohio, the modern mother
of presidents, there is at least some ac-
, curate knowledge of human nature.

War is Not Cheap.
There are too many people in this
country who takes. selfish and ‘sordid
view of war, says the Norwich Bulletin,
- and who openly proclaim that a war
would be a good thing for business.
Does war improve business and make
:he people more thrifty and happy? If

com age the ent1ance upon anothe1 war

It is now thirty-two years since the

reasonable complaint about its burdens,
which we should not be fast to in-

’ The quarrels that are the hardest to
make up are those that spring from the
most trivial causes.
How enviable seems'the lot of almost
every other woman when one grows
discontented with her own. '
Love" in most men would read more
truthfully if spelled “diversion.”
The amiable woman rarely gets any
credit for having a strong character.
Why is it that the persons who have
seats in the middle of the row are al-
ways the ones to arrive latest at the
theatre.
There is nothing so exasperating as
to be told to speak louder over the
’phone when you are doing the very
best you can and any extra effort would
mean a positive shriek.
The only way to keep silk petticoats
absolutely presentable is to own a dozen
of them, but the possessor of but one,
if she wears it constantly, soon shows
dusty ruflles and frayed edges when she
raises her skirts.
The man who always feels that the
. woman who loves him has put too high
an estimate on his character is apt to
be infinitely mOre worthy of her opin-
ion than the one who calmly accepts
her encomiums and thinks she has not
yet reached the height of his perfec-
tions.
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
convincing proof that the kidneys and
bladder are out of order.
WHAT TO DO.
There 1s comfo1t in the knowledge so
often exp1essed, that D1. Kilmer' s
Swamp- -Root. the g1 eat kidney remedy
fulfills even wishb in Ielieving 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
many times during the night to urin-
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,
