A Discouraged Sister. I nat last week in converation with a typical white-libboner, typical in loyalty, zeal, good work, faith, hope and love. She is president of a local union, a superintendent of prison and jail work, active in mothers' meetings and evangelistic work. After years of untiring service this is hei testimony : "The union of which I am president is a Wge one and I love the work, but I believe the Lord wants tne to devote my time and strength in some other portion of his vineyard." 1 expressed mv surprise and she explained: "Well it is just this the women will not or cannot, at any rate do not attend the meetings of the union regularly enough to make any of the work consecutive and satisfactory. Suppose we wish to arrange for n important public meeting. This week out of a large membership there will be perhaps ten women present. There is not time to wait for a larger attendance, ho we formulate plans to be developed more fully at the next meeting, when to the destruction of all our hopes, the first week's representation are nearly all of them absent and a group present who have to hear what has been done and, more than likely, want to change the action of the week before. At meeting number three, still a third lot are present or possibly only two or three not enough to transact any business satisfactorily or to give representative expression to the union's thought and desire. . . I cannot afford to waste my time and energy in a continuous effort to get grown women to do their duty or supplement their failures. The Lord's fields are white unto the harvest and I am going where I may garner the wheat to better advantage. The members of the union do not mean to do so, but they tie my hands by their failure. I must fcet loose and work!" The above article came to my notice from a wo.ran in V. C. T. U. circles who is excusing herself for dropping the work and it has caused me to study it carefully and between the lines and I wish others to do the game. The local constitution provides for the main point in her complaint, which she seems not to know anything about. It is as follows : "Such members as may be present at any regular meeting of the Union, or such members of committees as shall attend committee meetings, shall constitute quorums for transaction of business."

POPE LEO'S ODE TO THE XXTM CENTURY.
Andrew Lang, poet and critic, has made a translation of to: pope's "Ode to the Twentieth Century." It will also be the first metrical rendition of Leo X Ill's nupurb effort to be published in the English 1 nguage. Mr. Lang's vigorous verses con ey with a master touch both the spirit and rhythm of the Latin original. Renowned in letters, famed in art, The age recedes ; of many a thing Won for man's good from nature's heart, Who will may sing. The glories of the faded years I rather backward glancing mourn The deeds ill done, the wrong, the tears, Of the age outworn. Red wars that reeked with blood of man, Wide-wandering license, scepters rent, Fierce guile that threate the Vatican These I lament. Where is thy glory, stainless, free, City of cities, queenly Rome? Ages and nations ki.eeled to thee, The pontiff's home. Woe for a time of Godless laws' What faith, what loyalty abides! Torn from the shrines the ancient cause To ruin glides. Listen, how science wildly rav. s Around the altars overthrown ; Brute nature, with the world for slaves, Is God alone ! Not made in God's own image now Is man 'Tis thus the wise dispute But aprung from one same cell, they vow, Are man and brute. Oh blinded pride on chaos hurled ! Ob night proclaimed where light should be! Obey thou Him who rules the world, Man, and be free ! He only ia the Truth, the Life; Ha only points the Heavenward way ; He only frees the Soul from strife. If men obey. 'Twas He who led the pious throng But now to Peter's dust divine ; Of faith to live through ages long, No empty sign! Jesus, the Judge of years to be, Direct the tides the tempest still ; And make rebellious people free To work Thy will. Sow Thou the seeds of happy Peace, All Evil drive from us afar; And bid the rage and tumult cease Of hateful war. The minds of Kings and People mould ; Thy word may ali obey with awe; Be there one Shepherd and one Fold, One Faith, one Law. My course ia run, long ninety years Thy gifts are mine ; Thy grace retain ;
Let not Thy servants prayers and tears Be poured in vain.

(from Our Btgular Correspondent.) WASHINGTON LETTER. Washington, D. C, Feb. 11, 01. By standing together in their opposition to the Ship Subsidy bill,
the democratic and populist senators have forced the republicana to
change their tactics. They tiegan the fight last week by blua'ering and! bragging about how easy they would
tire out the opposition by night ses
sions. Alter holding two night sessions, at neither of which a republican quorum waa maintained, they abandoned the night sessions, and are now seeking to cajole the opposition into agreeing to set a time for
voting on the bill. While it is impossible to say with any degree of
certainty what the result of this change of tactics will be, Senator
Jones, who is leading the opposi
tion, says the bill will not be voted
upon at this session, and that if the republicans are determined to pass it, they must do so at an extra session of the next congress. Mr. McKinley is pulling for an extra session, provided, of course, that a valid excuse can be put forward for calling one, and the republican leaders in the senate are pulling to avoid an extra session, by leaving no valid excuse for one. An amendment has already been offered to the army appropriation bill, by Senator Spooner, giving Mr. McKinley authority to establish a civil government in the Philippines, and one is now being prepared setting forth the conditions that Cuba must comply with to get the U. S. troops withdrawn. Representative Lentz, of Ohio, president of the Jefferson, Jackson ana Lincoln league, recently organized with headquarters at Columbus,
Ohio, was in charge of the congreeaional party which left Washington
to day, to attend the big banquet to be given at .Columbus, by the new league, Tuesday evening. The party included Senators Psttigrew and Kenney, ex-Senator Towne, Senator-elect Cammack, Representatives DeArmond, of Me., King, of Utah, Claytun, of Alabama, all of
the democratic members of the Ohio
congressional delegation, Hon. Geo. Fred Williams, of Masd., and other democrats of prominence.
Three of McKinley 's nominations
to be Brigadier Generals, Wood, w it a j a
eil ana urant may be held up
permanently. All the other nominations for generals, including that of Miles, to be lieutenant general,
have been favorably reported to the
aenate and will at onoe be confirmed, but the Committee on Military Affairs, after several members
had expressed the opinion that these
three officers had not seen sufficient service to entitle them to promotion over many older and mors experi

need for any debate. These bills are sent to us by the President, and he tells us that he wants them passed. When he lets us know that
he is in favor of the bills, we are all
in favor of them, too."
A proposition to make Cuba pay
the expenses incurred by this coun
try during the war with Spain, has
been put forward by Representative
Levy, of New ork, but probably
with more desire to fuddle the situation than to seriously push the idea of trying to make Cuba pay
our war expenses.
The administration received a
broadside from its own ranks, when
Representative Brown, of Ohio, a
republican, made a vigorous attack upon the present Philippine policy, and offered a resolution declaring that "It is the purpose of the U. 8. in retaining possession of the Philip
pine islands is to aid their inhabitants, when they submit to the authority of the U. S., in establishing
a capable and stable free govern ment, and when this purpose shall be fully accomplished, the U. 8. under such reservations and conditions as may be wise and just, will relinquish sovereignty in those islands." Incidentally, Mr. Brown referred to the idea held by some of breaking our pledge given to Cuba aa the "climax of creed, and the
doctrine of freebooters and pirates."

had decided simply to non coneur

ana instructive story of methods ol
legislation in the Mexican Congress methods which the republicans
have to an extent already introduced in one branch of our Congress. Speaking of his visit to the Tower house of the Mexican Congress, Senator Bacon said: "I went there day after day and never saw a mem

Beauty is a gift, but tact is a talisman. Silence may be a vice as well as a virtue. There never was a prude who was modest. Why isn't a good wife a woman possessed? A fine action is often spoiled by a bad manner. Women grow gray from fear of becoming so. Time pulverizes pretension and rewards modesty. Loyalty can vanquish both Mammon and Persuasion. As long aa we have an object in life we can laugh at ennui. Some engagements end happily and some end in mar ri ige. More misery haa come through indolence than through anger. Of all the gifts the gods can bestow, the beet is opportunity. Between a babbling friend and a silent foe, there is small choice. A tactful woman never threatens, nags or weeps. She just waits. Why does a girl seldom attempt to extinguish the spark of lovs? When a woman opens the door to Reason she closes it upon Love. Men are kind only to be cruel ; women "cruel only to be kind." To instruct it is essential to know. This simple fact is often forgotten. Cold cash melts lots of hearts
that are not affected by warm love. The most foolhardy thing a man can do ia to make an enemy of any woman. Diamonds and small men please woman only when they are highly polished. Some bachelors voluntarily join the ranks of the benedicts and some are drafted. The realities of matrimony ars usually less pleasing than the illu
sions of love.
Conceited people are usually well
content. They worship themselves and are happy.
A woman's beauty is never con
sidered a good recommendation by
another woman. If a hostess serves flattery in very delicate quantities, her larder will always seem full. Giving others an opportunity to show their wit is to accentuate our own wisdom. Superstition is not commonsense, bot, is decidedly more common than sense. Sluggards are sent to the ant for
example. Slovens would do well
to watch the cat. Many a man who suddenly rose
to emmrnoe neglected to take a parachute with him.
A man who neglects his own business can't be trusted to look after
other people's affairs.
