HG-" Something for women better
than the ballot" was the title of a
paper read by Miss Catherine f..
Beecher, before the teachers and deli
egates in attendance at the National
Educational Convention at Trenton,
n. j., list week. Her plan is, in
brief, to have women trained bv
their own sex for the practical duties
Of the family, and to some business
that will secure to them an independ>
ent home and income, in case they
should not be married. This trains
ing is to be done in institutions,
which rich women are expected to
endow, instead of giving all their
money to colleges and theological
institutions for men alone, and
whore highly educated women are to
be supported as teachers by endow-
ments. An association has already
been formed at New York, to start
these institutions, and one is to be
commenced soon, en- a small scale
to be enlarged as circumstances war
rant. 1t is to embrace literary de-
partment, domestic department, a
health department, a normal depart
ment, especially to teach the duties
Of teacher, fine arts department,
and an industrial department. The
chief object of which will be to train
women to out door avocations suit
able to their sex. Miss Beecher's
plan is certainly a noble and philan-
thropic one, and we hope it will be
carried out till every girl in the land
will be able to have the benefit OF
surh an institution" as she proposes.
But we do not see why there would
not be just as strong reasons for CIV
ing women the ballot as before. Nay,
more, for women would then be much
better fitted to use it wisely.

GETTING Our OF THE SHEEL-Some
one who has had leisure to study
the life Of the hen house, offers
these curious facts concerning the
arrival of young chicks on the stage
Of scratching action:
The chick until liberated from the
shell by outside aid, is as incapable
of motion as if it formed solid with
the7egg, which it nearly does You
might as well enclose a man in an
iron boiler, and tell him to get out
without tools, as expect a chick to
got out of the she'll without help
The chick grows and swells inside
CT the she'll, until at last the ex-
cressence on the point of the beak of
the bird presses against the inside of
the shell, and bursts up small scale;
of course when it does this, it at the
same time breaks in that spot the in
side skin of the egg. This admits
/ the air. In short time it breathes
aud getsstrength to cry loudly. The
hen then sets to work to liberate it..
Sbe brings it forward under the
feathers OF the crop, and supporting
it between the breast bone and the
nest, begins the work of setting her
progeny free. She bitches the point
OF her beak into the hole formed by
the raising of the scale by the chick
ems beak, and breaks away the egg
skin or she'll, round the greatest
diameter of the egg. The joint efforts
Of the hen without, and the chick
within, then liberate the prisoner,
and he struggles into existence, and
gets dry under the feathers and with
the natural heat of the hen. All
female birds which sit on their eggs
10 hatch them, have the hook of their
beak strongly developed. Even the
broad-bllle duck and the goose have
these hooks specially developed, and
with them they liberate their young.
The hook on the beak OF the ordinary
cock of the common fowl is quite
different from that of the hen-it is
adapted for wounding in fight, but
not for the Matching of eggs.

THE TRUE CHURCH We are talk
ing about what is going TO save the
world, and how religion is going TO
be advanced, and which is going to
get ahead. You never can tell by
looking at birds tail feathers which
is going to fly highest; and you cans
not tell by looking at churches, and
their ordinances, and their outside
apparatus, which is going to take the
lead. | tell you that church which
has, first, the most power with God,
and then, next, the most sympathetic
power with men, is the truest church.
The spirit of the gospel is contained
in the words, eve pray in Chrsts
stead, be ye reconciled with God"
This is the whole of it. We are to
use everything that we have, in the
divine work Of persuading men to
become sons Of God. That ought
not to be very operose thing. 1t
ought not to be difficult to be under.
stood. 1t ought net to be so per-
picked and confused as it is. Re-
ligion is the simplest thing in the
world. A child that knows how to
love father and mother, and to say
"Dear father" and "Dear Mother"
knows how to worship God. A child
that knows the economy of the
household knows he whole economy
of true church government. Moth
ing can be simpler than that

LEWIS IL. sTElNEl
Another Convention.

The following, from the Portage
City State Register, explains itself:
By Geographic dispatch from
Governor Fairchild, we learn that
another Convention, similar to the
ono held at Prairie du Chem last year,
for tho parpose of considering the
question Of the improvement OF our
rivers and the canal connecting them,
80 shat river boats of the largest
size may pass from the Mississippi
river Lakes, will be held in this city
on the Goth of October. 1t was first
contemplated to have the convention
on the 18th, but that being the day
on which Iowa holds her election, it
was properly postponed week
later.
Gov. Merrill, of Iowa, calls the
convention and will undoubtedly be
here TO participate in its deliberations,
Gov. Marshall. of Minnesota, and
Gov. Fletcher, of Missouri, are also
expected to be in attendance as are
also a number of the Western con-
gressmen. Gov. Fairchild will be
here, Of course, for he is always on
hand when matters connected
with the river improvement are to
be considered. Our senators and
congressman will also be expected
and the candidates for the State eff
ces will be invited. Delegations rep
resenting the principal cities aud
towns and the counties bordering on
the river, will be here, of course. Tx
convention will be most important
one, as it is to consider the meas
ure most largely affecting the mate,
rial interests of this State and The
States west of the Mississippi-tha,
of cheaper freights for western pro-
duce. What other question is taere
of such momentous interest to the

it is packed, if possible, into cart

Lay Painting Person Down.

Says q physician in Hearth and

especially to keep the head erect

the brain the heart ceases to act
with sufficient force to send the usual
amount Of blood to the brain, and
hence the person loses consciousness
because the function Of the brain
ceases. Restore the blood to the
brain, and instantly the person re-

propelled to all parts of the body by
the action of the heart, yet it is still
under the influence of the laws of

the blood ascends to the head against

whose heart has nearly ceased to
beat, his brain will fail to receive the
