ThU story com prise Iwenty-flve chapter, I of a quaint, peculiar and original atyle aod carrlee:the cbaractera-throughtlie different phases of . English law and custom with strict fidelity to. fact. It commence with the marriage of the' heroine, and follow her through the numerous vicissitudes that may be fall any woman, even In many parts of America, if her husband Is disposed to take ad vantage of the Common Law.

It combines the fascination of novel with the attractiveness of history. AVOMEN DOCTORS EXCLUDER. THE PEOPLE WHO ARE SUFFRAGISTS. There 1s a cfasa of people who suppose the advo catduand upholders of the Woman Suffrage movement are eccentric, fanatical, and totally different In appearance and dress from the aver age run of humanity. They person who make this supposition nave not' Improved their opjor tunlties for observation, or they would know that the suffragists comprise , if. hat msy,W termed the staid and better ortlon of the people; not the "low," debated and dangerous' elements nor the ''high,' -exeeyi vely faliionable, and geuerally worthless set but the industrbius and thought ful profesftlonal,agrieultural, buInew and me- I ehanical clauses, who give to the nation the great ;ei names mai auorn us nittiory. ,i some ui uie earplng opponcutC7)f the movement, who assume that the suffrage Journals 'get: their subcrners from lrratloni-teople, could exaraiue the Xkw NoktiI wwt'h nal ling twoks, a revelatlon wou Id come-tothginZi. They would find therein the names of a large portion of the 'leading men and women of the cities' and towns of Oregon and Washington. ' ' - ; ' We" took the trouble recently to puncture the ffed-up importance. of , a conceited individual, who Invaded our oftlow and stated that "promi nent men gave the movement no recognition or support.1- We-lndueetl him to mention numer ous gentlemen whoni- he thought "took no titock in, iinna in lour-mui ot-in. cases we aireeteu his Attention to their names on our its, show ing them to have been steady subHcribers for years.; Toe man was surprised. - A ynew llgnt ap-i Iearel.

Rut we are dis appointed and amazed at Queen Victoria's posi tion. It displays marvelous Intolerance and big try.

The union of crusty put bachelor or. widower ami . a young woman is certainly none the less reprehensible than that of a "grandmother" and a "boy."
