ODDS AND ENDS. 
To Keep Comfortables Clean. —Have 
you adopted the wise plan of sewing a 
wide piece of cloth over one end of your 
comfortables, to be used always at the 
head, and removed when soiled ? Ask 
grandma to cut out a number of blocks 
about three inches square, using many 
pretty, odd, and gay ones. The little 
girls learning to sew will be glad to sew 
them into strips six blocks wide, long 
enough to reach across a comfortable ; 
and grandma may delight herself in the 
belief that the good old art of “ piecing” 
quilts, is not fallen entirely into disuse. 
MBS. N. 
Women in Politics. —Word comes from 
Colorado, says Harper’s Weekly, where 
women are now fully enfranchised, that 
a legislator stood up in the legislative 
hall and spoke of certain women as 
“ hatchet-faced things.” Three women 
who were sitting as representatives 
heard him, and each took vigorous ex¬ 
ception to his epithet. Thus we see how 
promptly the softening influence of 
woman in politics shows itself after 
once the franchise is granted. The Col¬ 
orado women doubtless will presently 
break the Colorado legislators of the 
habit of calling names in meeting. A 
Colorado man discloses his opinion that 
women as office-holders are not in favor 
in Colorado, and that it is unlikely that 
more of them will be elected. Which is 
interesting if true, but it is possible 
that the opinion of a Colorado man in 
such a matter should be taken with salt. 
Lightening Woman’s Work. — May 
Maple, in an article in The R. N.-Y. for 
December 8, makes the statement that 
at their county fair “there were many 
pieces of machinery to help lighten the 
labor of the housekeeper on the farm ; 
but only in a secondary way, for they 
were all agricultural implements, made 
to do work which, without them, would 
require numerous hired men. Not one 
single piece of machinery for woman’s 
work was exhibited.” Are not the ma¬ 
chines which do away with a gang of 
hired men, the greatest of all lighteners 
to woman’s work? Are not men planning 
cooperative creameries and creamers 
which not only take all the work of mak¬ 
ing butter from the farm house, but also 
do away with skimming milk and the 
tiresome task of washing numberless 
milk pans ? Are not men running cheese 
factories and cloth factories which are 
labor-saving institutions for women ? 
Men, not women, have abolished the 
spinning wheel, cheese press and old 
dasher churn. Men have invented sew¬ 
ing machines, knitting machines, carpet 
looms and factories, etc. While planning 
and inventing machines to lighten their 
own labor, they have, perhaps unwit¬ 
tingly, lightened woman’s work also. So 
let us give them their due. 
ALICE E. PINNEY. 
The Right Remedy Found. —C. R. re¬ 
turns many thanks to all those kind 
people who, through The R. N.-Y. 
interested themselves in her efforts to 
“rub out that dread of the cold,” and 
especially to the editors who made her 
plaint heard through the land. She is 
particularly pleased — but surprised— 
that the M. D.s did not advocate heroic 
measures, as cold baths, cold room, etc., 
for she does like her warm room and 
tepid bath. As she was already taking 
plenty of exercise, both indoors and out, 
eating- wholesome food only, and doing 
everything else advised in The R. N.-Y. 
save to consult a local physician, she did

that, and found that she needed “ a 
tonic.” Of course such consultation 
ought to have been done first, and saved 
several people trouble, but then all those 
excellent health hints would not perhaps 
have been given to R. N.-Y. readers from 
Maine to California ; so C. R. comforts 
herself with thinking that she is an in¬ 
direct factor for public good. c. R.

... .Plato : “ Better to be unborn than 
untaught, for ignorance is the root of 
misfortune.” 
... .F. A. Reynolds in the Housekeeper: 
“ Every girl ought to have an independ¬ 
ent way of earning her living, so she will 
not be tempted to marry except for love. ” 
... .E. G. Robinson : “ Never forget that 
any success in life won by disloyalty to 
truth and disregard to duty, will be a 
fatal defeat ; that any gain wrought by 
a sacrifice to duty will surely be a fatal 
loss.” 
-The Household : “The English girl 
from her birth is taught to comprehend 
and observe the laws of health, especially 
as regards outdoor exercise. This is the 
fundamental basis of the training of a 
girl. Let her understand the human 
mechanism, and at the same time realize 
what is required of a woman, and how 
essential it is for her to be perfect in 
health.”
