Tbe old spirit of religions intolerance and TMrnecntion which has been manifested in Kew England a number of timea in its history, is yet aliTe in the Massachusetts House of KepreaenUUyes, which hu declined to grant the petition of the officers of the First Congregational Church of Nantucket that it! nrin ister, Louise M. Baker, might perform the marriage ceremony. Under a resolution oßered by Representative fcta.ey of Frankfort, tbe following membei or the Houte were cn last Tuesdsy ap jH;-.Ltdcn the joint con. mittee on women s cU'rrs: Messrs. Staley, Toner, Jameson, Xtnsday and Brownlee. This committee is new complete and ready to consider the natters which Indiana women may desire to bring before the Legislature.

The meeting y ill 1 held in the club room at Plymouth Chuith at 3 o'clock. In tbe hands of lire. Elizabeth Boynton Herbert, Our Herald has been metamorphosed into the New Eta, a monthly of tbiity-two pages, with illustrated qover. Tae Jsubaiy itsue.

The $ew Era is published at Chicago, but Mrs. UarDeit should be addressed atEyanston, IiJitois. At the recent Washington Conyentlori Ihe National Woman fcuffrsge Association ?t solutions were adopted requesting Con ss to pass the bill for the submission of the Sixteenth Amendment to the Legislaluiee of the several States and declaring that to make sax a qualification for the exercise of the light of bu drape is to degrade one half of our people by disfranchisement and to deprive the other half of the very power necessary to their success as builders of a republican form of government.

The last resolution we quote in fall, "That we note with great satisfaction the pro wth of sentiment favorable to woman suffrage in the W. C, T. U.. and that we thank them heartily for the recent memorial to Congressn in beaalf of the 26th amendment. Urs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton presided over the public sessions, and despite her advanced age exhibited no loss of mental vigor. She opened and close! the convention Tilth forci ble speeches, made a strong argument on the theological resolution and gave cn able address on the "Limitation txnd disabilities of sex." The religious resolution which after spirited discussion eliciting a variety of opinion, Tras laid ovar for farther thought and investigation, and which has excised considerable comment, reads as follows: Whereas, the dogos inculcated in religion cieeds derived from Judaism, teach that woman was an afterthought in creation, ker sex a misfortune, marriage a condition Of subordination and maternity a curse are contrary to the law of God as revealed in nature and the precepts of Christ; and 'Whereas, these dogmas are an insidious poison, sapping lhe vitality of our civilization, blighting women and laying their palsying hand npon humanity; therefore Resolved, That we denounce these dogmas Wherever they are enunciated, and we will Withdraw our perso nal support from any organization or person so holding and teaching; and kesolved, That we call npon the Christian ministry, as leaders of thought, to teach and enforce the fnndamentrl idea of creation, that man was made in tne image of God, male and female and siren equal dominion over the earth, but not over each other. .And farther we invite their co-operation in securing the recognition of the cardinal point ot our creed that tn true religion, there is neither male nor female, neither bond nor iree, but all are one." Mrs.8unton explained that this resolution is not an expression of antagonism to religion bat a protest against false teachings and ran enunciation of the doctrine of equality. bs objected to theologians who persisted in quoting texts which seem to give men authority over women instead of consulting Jen . 1 21, 28. It is important,she said, that women eboald study tbe position assigned them in creeds and canonical law, and should understand the danger of ecclesiastical control. Alisa Francee E. Burr of Hartford, Connecticut wts the stenographic reporter of the convention, and the proceedings will be published in the New Era for February. The convention was notes largely attended by western women ai heretofore. Indiana having no representative and Hanois but one. Dr. Alice B. Stockham. Mrs. Hav Wright Sewall was re-elected chairman of the executive committee. A private letter from Mrs. Matilds Jwlyn Gage says: "The convention was as usual quite a success in movie? thought. Our women grow broader as they see more clearly tbe causes of woman's degradation. !Tbe resolution for a sixteenth amendment rill be brought np by the Senate committee having it in charge sometime soon, and will be pressed to a vote. We hope at least 1c compel the 48th Congress to put itself on Jecord. If the Republican party is wise and hopeslfcr a resurection in 'S3 it must submit the intendment, but I doubt its nifedom. Should it cot do so, the Democrats will bare a splendid opportunity for retain Jcg themselves in power by adopting vociq'i cause aa their own. Should they 'S ret do eo, the time is i.ear at h&cd for tbe forn .ilinn rtf a new r.artv whnA ha! shall General News Notes. Jkpiaka. Mrs. IL A. Larimer, assistant Jitor oj the Lawrenceburg Press, has taken tire control of the paper during the abcceofher husband at Washington city, na u earning laurels amor;2 the fraternity.

Tbe New Albany Exchange far Woman's

Work, which opened a few weeks agD, is succeeding, and solicits consignments of werk. iLLirois Mrs. H. M. Tracy Citier will edit a column entitled "Woman at Home" in the Fruit Growers' Journal, of Cobien. Texas. The bi.l to require chiefs of State departments to employ Jadies for one-half their clerifbipa. psssed the Senate Jan. 27, by a vote of nineteen to ten. Op.igox.-A bill to extend the elective franchise to women was introduced in the Senate, Jan. 21, on the ground that under the State Constitution the Legislature has power to enfranchise women. Vkbmout. Tbe first annual meeting of the Slate Woman Suffrage Society was held at iJsrton'a Landing with a large attendance, pood addresses and resolutions Mr. C. W. W jman, of Brattleboro, was elected President. Massaciiusitts The annual meeting of tbe State Woman Suffrage and the School Suffrage aiiociaticns were held at Boston last week. Tbe series of meetings in different tarts of tbe State will be continued through Februsry. About sixty meeting! have been held since Oct. 13. Miss Anna Jsques. who by a gift of $25.000 established the hospital in Newburyport which bears her name, died at her home in that town a few da j s ago. New Orleans Miss Katie Blackman has cempesed a musical morceau called Carni val Chimes," which will be played by the Mexican Band at the Exposition. Miss Blackman has donated the proceeds of the sale ot her music to the Woman's Department of Louisiana. A department of literature of the New Orleans Exposition has been opened in the Woman's Department' and it is daily increasing in interest and importance. Contributions are desired fron female authors, their publishers and their friends. Publications should be sent by mail or express, addressed to Mrs. Jnlia Ward Howe, Woman's Department, World's Exposition, New Orleans Mrs. Howe hopes that the newspapers of the country will give this announcement wide publication, as there are many States from which no contributions whatever have been received. A department of science, under Mrs. Ordway, has been inaugurated, and for this a similar appeal is made. Kaüsas. The State Woman Suffrage Association convened in Topska, Jan. 16. On the following day Mrs. Helen 11. Gaug&rand Mrs. Johns, of Saline. Vies President of the btate Association, addressed a large andience in Bex xesentatives' Hall. On Jan. 3, Mrs. Uoup-r addressed the House, giving them a brief . ketch of the progres of woman sufliege in other Statts and "erritories, particularly in Wyomiug aad Washington Territcries. She explained that a bill would be introduced later in the Kansas Legislature asking municipal suffrage for women in the Slate, and (he proceeded to give the BouEe reasons for adopting the bill and by it was desirable to have such a biil i a sä. She claimed that the introduction of fem aid suffrage in municipal po,litS would have a tendency to banish political ts well as moral CCircVÜoa, and wo.ili Jfttls a great many difficult and dangerous questions in the political economy ot this btate. Her addrcs: was listened to atten"ve'y throughout by the members; and she recmed frequent manifestations of appro?I J, ihorgh ii was nstced that oat few memLf?WCiea ver efiCdSragi. sml when 6be ttuched more directly upon tfcS P3JaSe of a woaan suffrage bill. Ineffectual effoits have teen made in both hoaxes to secure a committe on woman suffrage. The House however has given women some practical Cognition by employing fonr girls as pages, Mies M. Lulu Slough as Docket Clerk and Miis Nora M. Shaffer, assistant postmaster. Four of the pages re boys. Fobeign. The following Act has received the sanction of the King of Denmark, con ferring the right to vote in municipal elections on women in Iceland: "Widows and other married women who are householders, or in any other manner occupy an independent positions, are invested with the vote for tbe election cf the magistrates for the 'sysier and 'hrappar (districts and sub-districts into which Iceland is divided) town conncillore, and at parochial meetings, if they ere twenty hve years of age, and, moreover, have fulfilled all legal conditions for the exercisu of the above rights." Olga Fialka was the hrst woman to receive an order for interior decorations in competition with men. She decorated a theater in Berlin in a masterly manner. One of her pictures has been secured for tbe New Or leans Exposition. Mrs. Marshall, the wife of Mr. Alfred Marshall, who succeeds Mr. Fawcett as professor of political economy at Cambridge, assisted her husband in writing ' Fconomici of Industry," and has for several years taught political economy in connection with the Cambridge correspondence cl&sees. Mme. Nilsson has been decorated by King Alfoneo with tbe cross of the Civil Order of Beneficence, founded by his n ot her. I'byslcal Training of fjllrls. Lucy M. Hall, in the last number of the Popular 8cience Monthly, in the course ef an article on the "Physical Training of Girls." repudiates the theory that we must begin with the mother or grandmother. On the general question of training she says. If the little girl is to be reared with a view to perfect physical development, she should be dressed in as substantial clothing as her brother, and all trimmings and accessories necessitating extra care and stimulating a tendency to self-consciousness and the impression of sex should be avoided. If the boy is provided with a bicycle, the girl should be given a tricycle, and so with all the -inducements by which he is stimulated to seek recreation in the open air. She should there them. If, from the exbuberance of health and vitality which this course engenders, the cirl should chance to make as much noise as a boy, ehe ahould not be checked and repressed, while he is sent out of doors to have his frolic out. Above all, should the following of that routine custom in the education of girls, piano-practice, be avoided. The piano is tbe family vampire which has sapped the vitality of thousands of young girls by keeping them from the healthful recreation and exercise which they so much nerd. It should be a rule of every educator that no girl should be allowed to take a course of music lessens while she is punning the regular routine of her echool-worr. As the girl approaches womanhood, let it be remembered that the need of healthfal mental work is never gTeater than now. Muscle and nerve and intellect do cot develop and grow strong upon sensational and fancy work, and this is why girls at this age often grow morbid, sentimental, and selfconscious. Those instincts which should be kept in abeyance are stimulated into activity, and nervous, hysterical, or chlorotic conditions result. Where the mind has been healthily directed, the system fortified by unstinted out-of-door recreation, and the muscles trained to endure prcloged effort without fatigue, the above conditions will be looked tor in vain. WalkiDg. running, horseback-riding, tricycle-riding, lawn tennis, swimming, rowing, skating, bowling, hand-ball and general gymnastics are the exercises best adapted to girls, and, for that matter, to any persona who wish a healthful and well-balanced rather than an abnormal physical development. (Tbe harmful and disfiguring accidents which often result from the rougher games practiced by young men, as well as the graver injuries which are the direct resalt of heavy lifting or a sudden severe striin npon certain eeta of muscles, are matters to be deprecated, not emulated, and perfect physical training does not require such sacrifices.) Where the girl has been allowed to grow to early womanhood neglectful cf the requirements for proper physical culture, the Question of what she mar then undertake is a more eerlcns one. If she be in collets, the college physician should ascertain if there

are soy organic defects, and, if any exist, regnlate her exerciie in accordance with the requirements of the case. In nearly all cssee, if the work is begun carefuUy, increased gradually and sustained systematically, the best results will follow. ALL AROUND TIIS HOUSE.

Orange Pie A Cobvsalept Kitchen Home I'lants. Miss Juliet Corson in a recent cooking leaton at Baltimcre gave directions for an orange pie. The Görden pie crust is the kind that husbands refer to when they tell their wives my mother's pie crust would melt ia the mouth. Sift a level teaapoonful of salt with a pound of flour; rub quarter of a pound of butter into the flour with the hands, as I am doiog now, until to thoroughly mixed as to present the appearance of meal; stir with them pt enough cold water to make a xostry t ..t can be rolled out, and then use it. This a one of the simplest pastries, easily nade and delicious. For Florida orange pie make a nice pastry like that I have just described Grate the jellow rind and squeeze tbe juice of four oranges; beat the yolks of eight eggs to a cream; beat to a cream quarter of a pound of butter and half pound of sugar; mix all these ingredients to a smooth cream; then quickly beat the whites ot the eggs to a stiff fioth and stir them lightly into ths other ingredients; put the mixture at once into the plates lined with the pastry and bake tbem half an hour in a rather hot stove oven, take care that tney do not barn. The pies may be used hot or be allowed to cool, and then made quite cold on ice. If the bottom of ; oar oven should be too hot cover it with tied an inch thick and let it stay there. A CORVKNIEKT KITCHEN. The kitchen ought to be large enough to admit of the necessary work to be carried on thei e comfortably ; it ought to be well lighted and yet shaded from the burning rays of the sun. The floor should be painted, either of a uniform tint or by staining every alternate board light and dark. This is done by painting every alternate board with umber (which may be procured already mixed with oil), and leaving each alternate board the natural oolor of the wood, giving them simply a dressing of oil. Steps, and often needless steps are what tire housekeeper, and wear them o ut when they oogbt to be in their prime. It really seems 89 if some of our houses were built in a way to mske jnat as many steps as possible, instead of saving them. The pantry is often separated from tbe kitchen by the dining room, and there being not evn a cleset in the kitchen, all the cooking utensils are at least twenty feet from the kitchen. The pantry shou'd open out of b)th kitchen and d njng 199m, acd in every Jv"93?ü Ui&i height to te a small cio3et near .e cook stove for heldiog a few plates, bowle, cupe, kniyei, forks ard spoons. There thculd be sl'o space in the cupboard for salt, lepper, spices, usar. molasses and vinegar: aiid room in tbe bottom of the closet for potp, pans, skillets, eto How many steps scch an arrangement would save a housekeeper in one day, to say nothing of the cumber saved in a month or a year. There should always be a pump in the kitchen, then a few feet of rubber hse will enable one tc fill the rervoir on the cookfit0Tei or the rinsing tub on washing dy, without 6ieP?Usg from the pump or lifting a bucket cf water. Ihere are many other conveniences which any woman can contrive I t save steps In the kitchen, and, dear husband J. let me jast whisper e word in your tar. it will pay yon to spend some tnongnt acd labor upon this subject. Try it, and leeif your wives ard daughters are not enough brighter and happier to repay you. They will not be "tired to death" all the t'me. but can do tbe work so ranch easier Ibat tbey will be fresh and bright,-and with time to practice up the long neglected music, or to read the last new book with you in the evening. WIK DOW GARDEEINO. Dust is a great obstacle to successful win dow gardening. Ivies and all other smoothleaved plants may be kept clean by washing tbe leaves with a eponge or soft cloth. Plants with downy leaves should be set in a bathtub or sink, and freely showered by water from a pot with a fine rose, held high above them. When the room is swept the plants should be covered with a thin cloth or with newspapers, kept from resting on them; these are to remain over them nnttl the dust eel ties. No plant needs so much moiature at the r ct when in an inactive state as while growii g But such sorts as the hyacinth, when puthing rapidly, are less liable to be injured by over wateriDg than by too little water. See to it that the balls of earth are saturated to their centers on alternate days. A little liquid manure or soot-water, if applied as the flower-shoots develop, will be helpful to the bloom. The calla ought now to be growing with vigor, and if so, will require an abundance of water. Water standing constantly in the saucers while it is making its growth will be beneficial rather than injurious. When plants are the least vigorous, insects on tbem are the most destructive. For getting rid of tbe green fly on the foliage we have great faith in a vigilant eye and the ue ot the thumb-nail, or a sprinkling of powdered tobacco-retuse to be procured at the cigar factories, will destroy tham. Against scale and mealy-bug a tooth-brush and warm soapsuds are the beat equipments for doing effective battle. FASHION AS IT FLIES. Economy in Dress New Fancy Work Roller-skating öults-Noveltles. There are ladies who go into good society who dress on f50 a year, upon an average. They buy the material and make every article they wear themselves. The best drees is cashmere instead of silk or satin. There is not a new bonnet or bat with every change of season, but a re-tonching of the 'negative" of last year. When it is remembered that a good cloak that will last for three winters, can be bought for $12, a very neat, becoming bonnet made for $3, a handsome, stjlish, serviceable dress for $3, it will be seen that with only $50 and a small left ever ward robe to b gin with, a lady can dress like a lady, and i avt several changes. But it demaadb Nai oleonic courage to face the exigieacie of the situation, the rigid economy in evf ry unall detail, the planning of the annual campaign, and the harassing minutia of the pence and half-penc3 to be strictly accounted for. Upon $100 a year an expert needlewoman ought to be well dressed. THE AP.ASE5E EMBROIDERY work is destined to usurp the crazy quilt em ployment of its regal crown. The results of thin needle work are certainly more satisfactory than that which comes from the barum ecarum putting together of different pieces of silk and then making cross tracks over tbe seams, which is very incorrectly called "embroidery" by crazy quilt lunatics, A very handsome mantel drapery has a border of pond lilies in arasene, worked on black satin, The lilies, of course are white, with the yellow centres, and the leaves are in shaded olive green. The work stands out like painting on its black background. Above the satin is set a strip of pale olive plush, and the edge is finished with olive colored plush pompons. Netted guipure again takes its place in the list of faccy work, worked for the most part in colore with gold intermixed, and very elegant wall decorations are made for ladies' eitting icoms of auch guipure squares arranged between wide Insertions of coane pillow lace, or plain double stripes of cambric harmonizing with the netted ground ot cream, and lined with a color to agree, a frit gs being generally added below. Diraed

lace squares put between Insertion also look very nice for young laJieV apartments aad dainty dre'sing-rootcs.f urnished so that early callere may be received sans gene. ADCient kinds of embroidery seem tabs gaining more favor every dav, and everything antique is hunted up with the greatest avidity ; painters too of note are employed to compose designs after old specimens, and we have been astonished at seeing patterns reminding us of old heirlooms in the shape of chair covers worked In diminutive tent and eloping Gobelin stitch, eta, in dead colera, diepltped at soma of the first rng shops cf some of our large capitals, side by side with Chinese. Indian, or Jatanese embroideries in bright, sometimes flaming reds and jellows, and bizarre, grotesoue ''gns; yet this strange contra? ?u.City :uuuingtö the eje. AT A EOLLE' .vATIXG EXHIBITION in New York the other evening a lovely yeung girl wore a dress of amber corded siJk. kilt-pleated above a four-inch ruffle of tbe same fabrio eet en in box pleats. With this wss worn a jaunty cutaway French guard coat of black velvet, lined with royal cardinal and edged all around with pleatings of cardinal satin, which showed some inches beyond the edge of the leng-paneled fronts. There was a full Fedora vest of the amber satin, which showed in fine contrast against the black velvet coat, and the draping in the back was caught up with royal cardinal satin ribbons. A Turxish fex of dark red velvat completed the costume. Another stylish and pretty roller-skating costume made this season is formed of amaninth red and golden brown India cloth. The skirt has a band of natural beaver around the fcot, the waterfall drapery in the back is slightly hemmed, and the front of the very long apron tunic is bordered with the same far and looped with golden brown satin ribbons at each aide. Tbe short Louis XIV. coat of plain golden brown India cloth has a shirred vest of amaranth red 6erge, and above this is a pelerine of natural beaver, with muff and Rob Roy cap to match. CIIAT. Aurora pink, a warm gclden rose, in the latest shade of this fashionable color. Even the fine ribbed knit or woven merino ahirts for babies have long sleeves. Heliotrope, which is as fashionable for a color as for a perfume, cornea in seven different shades. Blondes affect black tulle ball dresses with embroideries of jet. The navy blue blouse suit for little girls is revived for spring wear. The sleeves of all babies' dresses for all occasions are de riguer long. Cloth in small soft, colored checks is becoming more popular for tailor-made dresses than plain cloth. These dresses are now, no matter of what eclor, invariably bound with black silk braid. The new plaided flannels for childieu are in charming shades of red, blue, green, brown, and oeing, with dashes of yellow and black, all tbe combinations of color so arranged as to produce the most delightful harmony with the contracts. New tailor-made jscieti are quite short Jth straight rotin! baiqueä about six or set en inches in depth. A few are made perfectly plain, but the majority are elaborately braided or trimmed with Astrakhan or maraboLt. Presses for midwinter are belog made of a heavy ronge-eurfaced serge.delightfully warm ard clinging in its nature, and made up with velveteen of a deeper cr contrasting shade. Very comfortable and protective are theae heavy suits, but they must be very cautiously put off for the lighter gowns which this season are so generally adopted for fall dress. The danger to health caused by wearing a heavy dress during the daytime, and then discarding it for one totally inadequate in respect to warmth, is declared by prominent physicians to be the most hazardous trifling with life and health since the general abacdonment of thin-soled shoes and the practice cf tight lacing. EDUCATIONAL NOTE.

The Harvard Divinity School has seven proleesors and elven students. Tbe University of Pennsylvania is trying to raise money for a gymnasium. Of 30,000 desired, $10,000 has already been secured. Countess Bose, of Cassel, has left as a legacy to the University of Berlin the sum of T80.CC0 marks, nearly $200.000, for the benefit of poor students of medicine. Professor Martin L. DOoge, of the chair of gieek of the University of Michigan, has received tbe appointment of director of the Anerican SchocI of Classic Studies at Athene, Grs ece, for lSSösndlSSG. He will be granted a leave of absence for the above period. Schcol Trustee Joseph Strauss, of College Toint, L. I., ordered the discontinuance of cr-an ting tbe Lord's Prayer in tbe public achcols. The mothers of children held an ir.digLation meeting and threatened to boycott him. The objectionable order was rescinded. That education is making rapid strides in the South is shown by the fact that in Florida alone the number of public schools has increased from G7G eight years ago to 1,479 at the present time, while during the same pericd the number of pupils in attendance has increased over SO per cent. The preliminary programme of the proceedings of tbe International Congress of Educators, to be held at the New Orleans Exposition, February 23d to 23 tn, has been published. President Arthur is named as the honorary president, and Commissioner John Eaton, of the Bureau of Education, as acting president. The list of vice presidents includes the names of a number of gentlemen connected with edocational institutions. The Board of Regents of the Wis:ousin State University met a few days ago and ap proved plans for three new bnildinga to replace science hall, lately burned. Tbe cost of buildings end equipment is $293,000, which sum. together with $43,000, will be asked of the present Legislature. A new agricultural course was mapped out, to consist of two winter courses of twelve weeks each, and with moderate requirements for admission. This is arranged as a eom promise with those farmers demanding a separate college. An English school teacher holds a most important position in England and is much better paid than here. A master, corresponding with our grammar school principals, receives from 51.500 to 13,000 a year, and headmasters of such Echools as Eton or Rugby are credited with receiving from $12,000 to $15,000 a year. But, per contra, women are rarely employed, and if they are, must be content with what would seem a mfsre pittance to our primary school teachers. Taken by and large, as the sailors say, the Ameri can system is the best A "model" school bnildirg has been erected at Hartford. Conn., and as model school buildings are rare, this one deserves a description. It is a brick, with stone trimmings, is two stories high, with an attic and bssement, and ia surmounted with two towels the watch tower being 12ü feet high, and the astronomical tower ninety-eight feet high. The structure is intended to oe fireproof, and the walls, twenty inches in thickness, have an air space four inches wide, extending from the ground to the rof. The boilers are in a separate building, too, to add to the security. But most nneque of all are the play-rooms, where tbe cnildren may spend the recess in inclement weather. A hall with seating capacity for l,200,a lectureroom, a chemical laboratory, and an observ atory equipped with a large equatorial tele scene ccmplete the conveniences for instruction beyond those generally given to chil dren in our public schools. The total c;st cf the building was $255,000. The strawberry market Is not troubled with over-production, as was shown in New York on Friday, where twenty-six quarts of the luscious fruit, from Florida, were sold at the rate of (3.50 a quart.

WHAT 1YILL THE HARVEST BE I

The ETolving of a Neu Civilization for the Nations. Will it Be An Adraoce Or a Retrograde? What Relation Shall America Sustain to It? Is There to Be a CarnlTal of Rloodsbed in the Old World ana Whnt Wilt We Do About It? C. H. EEEVX, PLYMOUTH, ID. Written for the Sunday Sentinel. "Affairs in Europe seem tobe assuming the form of very serious complications. Do you think the Nations there will drift into war?'' said a friend to me lately in the couise cf conversation. The question brings forward a view of conditions worthy of the most serious consideration. , The nations of Europe do not feel like going to war. None of them see a prospect for gain in any war, while the end of war is entirely beyond the bounds of any calculation. Modem tendency is toward arbitration; but that tendency will have its peri 0 1 of dominaLcy and be followed by one of bedigerency. The reasons for. and expediencies governing alliances, are constantly changing; and in case of war between any of the Nations in Enrope, the change of conditions would be auch, that change of alliances wonld be inevitable, and a general war would be likely to result. No Nation in Europe will engage in war if it can avoid it. But, there are forces in operation that can not be controlled. What the result of their action will be is beyond all possible divining or ary probable guess. The world has entered upon the beginning of a new civilization, and its character and progress can not be prophesied. Centnriej ago, the forces leading to civilzation began in the Orient and have spread to the Occident, culminating in the civilization ot today. It has relied around the earth and completed a circle. In tbe Western world, on a part of this continent it has brought civil and religions liberty. On the Southern continent, former tarbarlem is succeeded by a condition of chronic anarchy religious superstitions combatting all efforts to secure liberty. In the East, the strngzle for civilization is beginning anew, and when the wave shall lave again rolled around tbe earth, what kind of civilization will exist in the place cf that now existing? "Tbe brotherhood ot n au" bas been the basis of ethics in later generations with us. The equilibrium between good and evil has been maintained, vice and immorality seem to have been g?lded rather than lessened. As the world Iah been brought into close neighb3rhood by stram and electriciy the moral sensibilities have become eomewbat deadened in certain respects probably a result of the meeting and conliict of ethical creeds and moral practices aa the different peoples come to know each other. Great disasters and gieat crimes do not shock ns or only momentarily. They follow each other so rapidJy we have not time to contemplate them SDd tbey are passed with a glance. Ttey create some pity which we evince by givirg practical relief in the one case, and a distrust of all men entrusted with execation or the Jaw, and we call in Judge Lynch in the other esse. Are we retrograding? Has Materialism obtained the ascendency? Have the lorces that brought ns to oar present civilized condition spent themselves and are we falling into the shadows as did all progressive peoples before us, who reached their zenith and passed away, leaving ruins which it has taken centuries to resurrect from the covering heaped on them by uncivilized successors? It loots like it. Oa the extreme Eastern limits Progress has begun working with new material and is presenting s?me phenomenal results. The praying machines of Japan are being neglected and hundred 1 of her Baddhist Teaiple l ave beed converted to secular uses. Even ti e government has appointed a commission to inquire into the Christian religion, with a view to the adoption of it or so much ss may be found to be an improvement ou Baddhitm! What have we here as a phase cf the new material? Individuals and nations have suffered annihilation rather than yield one moment to a demand that they change their religious opinions. Nothing Iras so stirred men and woaaen as an attack on their beliefs and customs of a religious tature, and nothing has been sohardtoovercome. Bat here, we have a people the votaries of a faith for hundreds'of years who treat it as a matter ot business. Isolated from tbe world until within a generation or two, tbey come face to face with new religions and new practices, and they set to work as a matter of business not only for the individual, but for the public policy to investigate, with a view to adopting the new if it appears to be preferable to the old? What kind of a mentality is it that gives the first impetus to tbe new civilization? At the same time, the struggle between despotism and liberty grows fiercer in Asia, Africa, and Eastern Europe. Slowly, bat sorely, ths spirit of Revolution moves onward, becoming sensible to more and more people daily. Among tbe lower classes, slowly but surely do the numbers increase who iain in knowledge, in canning, in courage, in desperation, in feelings of indifference to banishment, imprisonment and death! Slowly but surely terrorism Is making the reign and the life of mighty rulers and tneir counselors more and more uncertain; and the invisible hands that kill grow more numerous and more skillful every day. Your space will not permit me to refer to other nnnsnal conditions. Take the mentality of Japan, China. India, Egypt, Turkey. Afghanistan, Persia ond eastern Russia, and other social and political conditions of tne people there governed and govericg; and with the civilization of Western Earope on one aide and the moral forces flowing thence, and from America on the other, starting active operations through the mentality of such a people as tbe Japanese, what will be the moral and political philosopny that will rise as a wall on either band? When fie mentality aa well as physical results flawing from the millions in Central Africa, who are being brought into the arena an unknown force shall become a factor of monstrous power, and the conflict of Interests now beginning, in the efforts of the nations of Western Europe to apportion the dark continent among themselves, wnat will bs the cutgrowth? What ideas of human rights will obtain? What beliefs as to a hereafter? What doctrines as to mine and thine? While the West retrogrades and the East advances in civilization, in the centuries to come, what will be the bais for ethics and the forms for government? How far are we to be held responsible for any failure there may be in any of it? Having reached the highest level men can attain in seeking liberty and still have government and order, we fiod ourselves moving toward centralization; restraint cf the individual ; curbing.the prerogatives of the suldiv?iocs and lesier agencies in govern rxent; society seperating into the aristo erat end the plebian, with public control rapidiy passing Into the hands of th ar stocrecy, and that the aristocracy of weilth cot brains and morality. With a growth like fungi we find among us thousands who advocate communism, and tbey draw to their ranks tha vicious, the reckless, tbe Idle, and the criminal classes; who, being clothed with the franchises of

citizenship, have became a power that s dangerous even cow, and capable of irreparable mischief Gradually, more or les of their pernicious dectrine is fusing iato be lief in the mtndi of the honest laboring clsisec, aid the latter possess tbe power to paralize every industry at any moment by negative action by merely folding their bands and ref asing to do anything. If they would eo act, as a unit, they could prevent anything being done for a sufficient length of time to produce National ruin, from which, there could be no recovery sive under a Military Government, where.individual liberty cou;d have no existence. Ccmbcstible elements exist for a universal war ard are ready for ignition. A sligh t thipg could precipitite it. Where would it end? In the years to come perhaps the near future aerial navigation will bs acccmplhed. Armies ou the earth will be attacked by forces sent from the air high above. Air ships applied with destructives will be guided over armies, fleets and fortifications and the deadly missiles will be dropped upon them. Evea rival aeronauts may attack and destroy each other and their ships in mid-air, armed with electricity in forms that human invention will evolve. Attack and defense have, 3) far, nearly kept even pace, and it has not deterred war. New discoveries of subtle forces in nature, will give contrr 1 to men for unlimited destruction of human life, and with that knowledge will come new ideas ot morals and new civilization. It is net possible to educate the barbarian entirely out of humanity and no civilization will ever accomplish it. From the Rjyal pageant, the Presidential State dinner, the parade of civic societies, the ouitit of tae cow-boj s, the trappings of the Indiau, down to tbe cumbersome and revoltiag adornments cf the naked savage, all along the line the barbarian is manifest. The trappings are dictated by the same influence and they are differences enly in degree. One is the creation of lhe highest powers of genius, fc ence and ait; and thence on down to the coDceptiocs of the lowest intelligence; but it is all tbe cropping out of the barbarisn in man, which always has and always will dominate evrythirg else, and his highest attainments will be used for its gratification to a greater or less extent. In this country we have now entered upon one of tbe greatest revolutions ia the nistory of the Nation; and if Grover Cleveland lives to complete his term, we shall have made an advance into a world of new ideas and political propositions that will prevent a return to the woist and least practical of those we have favored up to this time. Whether we will continue to move onward, or whether we will tarn aside after more evil methods of a new kind after his administration shall be passed, is yet io be learned. Four thousand yeats ago, thirty thousand workmen at the dictttion of one man, withrevenucs raised by bis direction, biilt the mighty pyramids It has taken forty ceatariebto replace the civilization of his day with cur own. Forty centuries hence rxore or less and our own civilization will be replaced by cne ss different from it as that is different from the one existing when the pyramids were built. Between, will be mere dark ages. Tbe people of the United States have it in their power to shape the civilization of the world for centuries and elevate it to the highest level. If they would leara the power, tbe value, and proper uses of the rights they have as citizens and then properly rse them, the perfection of life could be reached and the security of knowledge and order be assured. The wise, the honest ard the orderly would rule and the ignorant, tbe dishonest and turbulent woaki be restrained. Under ocr Government the first claLce is given to hnmanity to establish and perpetuate civil and religious liDerty which icclude knowledge arid order. Is the inherent barbarism going, finally, .0 so far dominate ts to throw aside that chance, in the greed for gain, and for ower in the individual to rule his fellows? And tn tbe misuse and abuse of the rights of citizenship will there become fixed a code of ethics under which we will go back to despotic rule and the dwarfing remits that belong to !t? We J ve reached the turning point, and the mo.sl forces born cf our acts until now are sohing that question, with the chances in favor of the retrograde result As with other thirds, we shall rajs throagh many crises sometimes forward, sometimes backward ; but unless we hold to tbe better elements now at the surface acd that will continue to be prominent during tbe revolution that will exist for tbe next four years, we shall advance less than we go back, and tir.ally cease to advance at all. I am impressed with the opinion that we have reached the level of perfection permitted to us in the Infinite economy (not tbat we can not improve, but that we will net) and that, starting from our own a new n 1 zaticn creating a new mentality has trendy begun on the eastern shores of the KCif c. ana will move to the western in e tture of time That one of the effects t present conditions will be an almost universal war in the not far distant future. We nave tbe means if we will use them to "rape it" evils, profit in many ways during its progress and perpetuate liberty for many generations. Will we do it? Are not the chances in favor of our beisg drawn into it to be the greatest sufferer? Our statesmen will be wise if they heed the signs of the times and shape the public tolicy fcr safety. And we, the people, will t e wise if we see to it tbat none bot our belt n en are entiusted with the direction of j ublic affairr. A WOMAN'S CUBIC

How It Ha Followed a Gambler Over Laud and Oce n for Ten Years. I San Francisco Alta j "If yen want to hear a slraDge story," sa;d a gentleman to a reporter of the Aha, veterdav, in Golden Gate Park, "engage that gray-haired man in conversation and get him to tell yon his history. It will repay you for your tirxe," and he indicated a prematurely agf d man with a sad face sitting in tte sun on cue of tbe benches of tbe pirk. Tie reporter needed no second invitation, and was seen tested by the man with the strange history. 'T am told," said the seeker af ;er facts, that you have a life story strange in the extreme, and that you are not averse to relating it," The eyes of the man were turned on the p peal er for a moment, and then folding his white hands in his lap, he said: "Yes it is a story. I am a murderer and a reformed gambler; but you need not shrink so from ne. Ten years ago I owned the largest and meet popular gambling parlors in the city of Chicago, snd cn Saturday nights I dealt my own faro game, in wfcich oain!s, of coarse, I made a great df-al of money. Many unpleasant it cidents grew out of my busines. bnt I always excused it on the ground tbat men did not have to play my came 9 anv more than they were obliged to drink po"ieon. I fiDally got to noticing and expecting ere yoi.i-g man in psrticular, who always came when it was my night to deal. At first he played boldly, and as a consequence, lot heavily ; but as he grew ruo-e iamiliar with the game he played carefully, and acted as though life depended on his winning, which in fact was the cas, as it afterward proved. I got acqcainted with bim, addressing him as Brown,' but knowing tbat was not his true name. I think he followed the game fcr months, winning a little eometimes, but gee erally losing heavily. At lait be carte one night, and I saw by his rt shed face tbat he tad been drinking, alUoch Le looked apparently cool. He sat dcwii to the table, drew out a email roll cf n oney, and, laying it down before him, said: 'Ther- is in that little pile my fortune, my hci.or. slid my hfn. I either win all or lese all tL is neht. Begin year game; lam ready." Others jcined in at first and played fcr Mobile, but withdrew from the game and watibed the strange y ouDg man at iay ribt. He played to win, but fate was agiirst Lim, for r,e lest, won, and lost aain. and finally after two hours of playing, evidently tn the mcst ftarful astpente, he loit his last doli r.

Lrsnlng back fn bis chsi', with CiTip'Mf'l iipa and fate blanched tj a deat i!j otinf?. Le looked ice in tbe eve a moaien. SLd, risirg. said: ' My money, honor, an I bappintsi baw gene over the table, never to return. I laid my life would go with thai, so it shall. Tell my wife I have gce too far to return." Before we could prevent it he put a derringer to his breast and shot bimtelf throcgh the heart, falling upon ths table that Lad been bis ruin and death. "His wife came, awful in the majesty of her gref, and, after satl'yine ber:e.f tht her husband was dead, she afced: 'Whre is the Beeper of this dreadful plc? I was pointed out and. atriding upto me eo that her finger aln.cst touched my pallid fare, she exclaimed in tones that are ringiog ia my eats yet, Oh. you soullees wretch, with heart of stone! Yoa have lured my husband from rre. sent him ;to i r tition, wiaowed me and orphaned my :uldren. Y01 are h:s murderer, and may Goi'a curse rest neon you eternally!' And, with a wi!d scream, Oh, my husband! my child T she fell fainting on the body of the corpse 'I lingered for weeks In a brali fever, that curse seeming always to be the burden of my mind. On my recovery I bnrned the fixture of mv den and closed the place, and have cbvcted mcst of my time to travel with thsr hope of escaping that woman's just curse, but I can't. I believe it is on me forever, and I feel that I was the man's murderer. I an rich, and my first attempt wa to get the dead man'a wife to accept an annuity fromme, but she refused all aid, and tried to sapport herself by her own labor. I relieved mr mitd to some extent, however, by settling a certain sum on ber and her children, which raws through her father's hands and ostensibly ccmes directly from him. Her children aie receiving a line education by this means, and my will, safely locked in her father s office, bequeaths to her and her children my entire wealth, some SlOO.COu. My life," concluded he, "is devoted largely to visiting; gambling dens, where I meet young men who are on the highway to bell, and wara them of their danger. Thanks be to God, I have succeeded in many cases in saving then ; and now, young man, remember this ttcry and let it always stand np as a white spec- er between you and the gambling-table. Eee tu it that the poison does not enter your veins;" a; K pulltd his hat oyer his moistened eyes t 1. strode silently away.
