The Irish Question.

The conviction of the most careful and
thoughtful Americans upon the question
of sending relief to Ireland in her pres
ent great extremity is "Any amount
that is necessary for humane purposes,
but nothing whatever to aid in political
plans, with which America has no bust
ness to intermeddle." Speaking OF. the
great Irish agitator now in the United
States the st. Louis Globe Democrat
asks "What does anybody know
about Mr. Parnell Who vouches for
him beyond the fact that he is a polit
ical agitator, belonging to the class with
which Ireland has been pcstered for Il
century He has given no evidence of
ability in any direction except that of
raising a row, and making the Irish peo-
pie believe that it is wrong to pay their
debts-a doctrine the acceptance of
which is not, we regret to say, confined
to the Irish at home or abroad Why
should people give immense sums Of
money to this man! If he is giving
sound advice to the Irish people in tell
ing them not to pay their rent, what
does he, or what DO the irish people,
want with all this money!

The Best Plan Yet.

English sense ard English refinement

for the help ard advancement of society,
but none NOR. practical and worthy of
following thai its last effort for the well
being of women. In an article OF ex-
ouisite feeling and sense, the Queen in
PRODUCES scheme which interests the
best men md women Of the kingdom, in
its purposa to train women for light
farming and gardening. With clever
tact the subject is presented from its at
traciiva point. Women farmers are not
inviting subjects Of contemplation, but
to speak of "ladies as cultivators of
land" puts the pursuit in its proper
Light, and ''invests it with the dignity
ana grace which belongs to the Oldest
and gentlest of occupations" " hat the
French call la petite culture OF frait and
flower gardens, poultry yards and dali
RES has always been tie most profitable
part of farming, and calls for nothing in
the way os management or strength not
fairly within feminine limits. As Il
rule, what is true Of the English mar
kets is still more true OF American
towns, where, rs says the excellent
journal quoted, "1bore is Il great need
for more fruit, garden stuff and green
vegetables, more eggs and poultry, more
cream and strawberries, more common,
sweet scented flowers to frcshen the
food and brighten the lives of those in
cities pent." This is especially true of
American country towns, where, as q
rule it is impossible to get any
variety of fruit or vegetables ex-
cept for limited season, and then at
higher prices than they bring in New
York markets. In the occupations of
producing these Injuries strength is
hardly so much needed as minute per-
sonal care and watchfulness, precisely
the want of which is lowering the grade
of the great national dairy products 1t
is thought that q society may be formed
for training women in the best systems
of horticulture and dairying, bee rails
ing and poultry breeding, with the best
results in securing healthy indepen-
dence for and pursuits Of interest Tor

mode of making livelihood,

be ersily persuaded to attempt it. An
association Of practical and cultivated
women Interested in farm gardening in
this country would enroll II very desila-
bic membership, and enter wider field
of usefulness than any social, business or

is an opportunity OF doing real good for
the fortunes and the inner lives of
women which cannot be neglected.

Old Dinner Customs in Sweden

The Swedes have queer way of To-
comoton at their meals. They often
fit about like flies, from one table to
another, and sometimes seem to turn the
menu topsy turvy when they order re-
past. 1t is no rare thing to see them
begin with cheese and biscuit, next pro-
coed to ham and salad, Nth slice OF
meat to follow, and then suddenly start
up in the middle of their dinner to swal-
low, while walking about, plateful of
pea soup. A habit which they have Of
beginning each meal with what they
call ''smorogs," not merely leads to
much untidiness at meal time, but makes
them seem contented to live on bits and
scraps The smorgos consists of little
dishes, such as slices of reindeer, and
caviar. and sardines, with pickles, cheese
and other whets provocative of thirst.
These are fished out with fork Of gen
eral utility, and laid on thumb pieces of
rye cake, thickly smeared with butter,
which serve by way of plate. Then
they are bitten into, regardless of the
fragments which may fall on other dair-
ties (for your true smorgos eater seldom
sits to his repast), and they are finally
washed down with a glass or two of spir-
its which stands handy at their side
Such prelude to a n cal is not merely
uncleanly, but must vitiate the pal
ate, and injure the digestion. Indeed l
feel convinced that, were the smorgos-
bord abolished, not merely would the
cookery in Sweden soon improve, but
very many of the people would be grad
ually weaned from their weakness for
strong drink

Your Father Knoweth.

! was far from my home, and in that
home one of the household lay very
sick. For many weeks the little flame
of life had tlickered, almost gone, and
loved ones had watched tenderly day
and night, ministering to the helpless,
suffering body. Every day | looked for
the news that the end had come, that
the gentle spirit that had lived such a
long, unselfish life was released from its
shattered prisen-house aud welcomed
home.
| knelt in my room for my evening
prayer, and my thoughts went out with
tender yearning to the home friends.
But what should seek for them Per-
haps already the long vigils were over,
and relief had come to the sufferer and
rest to the weary watchers. | did not
know, at that distance, what the needs
of my dear ones might be at that hour.
Perhaps some new sorrow or burden or
temptation had been laid upon them.
But, "YOur Father knoweth," Iremem-
bered, and gladly, trustfully, l could
name their names in the quiet of his
presence, and ask him to do for them
whatever they needed.
This thought has been full of comfort
to me. As my thoughts wander from
one to another whom love, scattered
almost around the world, can leave
them in my Fathers care, asking him
to supply the needs which he seeth, but
which are all unknown to me. The
strength to resist temptation, the pa
thence to wait, the wisdom to decide,
the healing for the sick-''yOur heav-
emily Father knoweth that We have need
of all these things"

Consult Your Wife.

You are man of business and have
no time to show attention to your wife,
few opportunities to converse with her (;
at least you make few. She submits to
this unsocial state of things because she
must; but is she happy? Probably
not. No woman likes to be considered
a cypher. Your wife ought to be your
adviser. She ought to be your most
confidential counselor. There are many
husbands who would as soon think of
taking the advice of their children as
their wives; but it is only the fool who
is too wise to seek counsel. A woman,
you say, knows very little about bust
ness, nevertheless, her intuition is often
better than mans Judgment. Your
wife is your partner. You have earned
the money, but she has saved and sac
riticed and pinched and worried and
worked to help accumulate it. She has
done her fair share toward making your
property what it is; she has right to
be consulted how it shall be used. A
double right has she to have her judg-
ment weighed and measured in all
questions relating to the disposition of
the family and the training and culture
of the children. Talk to your wife on
all occasions. When you come home at
night, tired with the cares of the day,
to find her equally fatigued, bring her
the news of the day, the latest, freshest
thought. In buying your paper, or
subscribing for your monthly magazine,
or renewing your religious weekly, get
what suits her needs and meets her
tastes as well as your own. There is
more in that patient, quiet, silent wife
of yours than you think. Do not freeze
her very individuality by your practI-
cal contempt of wOmen.-Nep York
Witness.

it, without our being conscious of it from
the taste or effect. The women prepare
it with straw and dry it in the sun. You
will see near every house, either guam
titles of it stored for future use or in a
state of preparation, the same as you
see cords Of wood piled up in the rear
of houses in Northern New England, or
masses of peat stacked in Ireland. One
night we camped near cords of it on our
journey, and experienced no disagreed
BILE effect.
Our house is more pleasant than we
anticipated. have bay-window in my
room and three geraniums in bloom,
gladiolus, and beautiful parlOr ivy,
which extends half across the arch OF
my window, thanks to Miss Flavia Bliss,
my predecessor here. Lest you may not
form correct idea of our house, l will
tell you the walls have been plastered
white, but have never been papered ;
the doors and window sashes are also
implanted. The house was built quite
large originally, by DR.. West, the mis-
sionary doctor, as a kind of saBitarium
or health retreat, for enfeebled and sick
missionaries, who came here to be I'M
der the Doctors care and build up their
constitutions by enjoying the air of the
mountains. Since his death the school
has one part of the house, and one of the
missionary families occupies the other
side; but when DR.. Davis and family,
1.-THE new missionary doctor), arrive from
Cesarea, they will require the portion
taken by the school; so we shall be
obliged to appeal at the next meeting
at Constantinople, for an appropriation
to build n school room for the expert
ment of having the school located in
some other building outside, did not
prove fortunate some time since.
We are very thankful that some of
our boxes, via the Black Sea have ar
rived with our furniture and some of
our clothing, which we really needed,
but camels are slow beasts of burden,
and the roads from Samsun, our port
on the Black Sea, are rough. There
are hordes of these Circassians now
roamngin and through Asia Minor since
the Sultan has sent over one hundred
thousand of them, as he feared to let
them remain where they were, lest the
treaty of Berlin could not be kept. They
are very handsome men, quick in per-
ceptions and movement, and one adj
mires them much, especially in the dis
lance.
The next time l should like to tell you
of our school and how much
| feel interested in it and the girls here.
l feel impatient to master the language
so as to do something more for them.
How little one knows the meaning of
poverty in the United States! never
realized the meaning of the word rags
until l came here, nor the value of cot
ton cloth. L. B. C.

Intellect of Brutes.

One evening soon after my arrival In
Eastern Asam, and while the five ele-
plants were, as usual, being fed oppo-
site the Bungalow, observed young
and lately caught one, step up to a
bamboo stake fence and quietly pull
one of the stakes up. Placing it under
his foot he broke piece off with his
trunk, and after lifting it to his mouth,
threw it away. 1t repeated this twice
or thrice, and then drew another stake
and began again. Seeing that the bam-
boo was old and dry, asked the reason
of this and was told to wait and see
what it would do. At last it seemed to
get piece that suited, and holding 1t
in the trunk firmly, and stepping the
left foreleg we'll forward passed the
bamboo under the armpit, so to speak,
and began to scratch with some force.
My surprise reached its climax when L
saw large elephant leech fall to the
ground, quite six inches long and as
thick as ones finger, and which, from
its position, could not be easily detach-
ed without this scraper, or scratch,
which was deliberately made by the
elephant. L subsequently found that it
was a common occurrence. Leech
scrapers are used by every elephant
daily. On another occasion, when trav-
cling at time of the year when large
flies are so tormenting to an elephant,
L noticed that the one l rode had no fan
or wisp to beat them off with. The
mahout, at my order, slackened pace,
and allowed her to go to the side of the
road where for some moments she
moved along rummaging the smaller
jungle on the bank at last she came to
a cluster of young shoots well branch
ed, and after feeling among them, and
selecting one, raised her trunk, and
neatly stripped down the stem, taking
off all the lower branches and leaving a
fine bunch on top. She deliberately
cleaned it down several times, and then
laying hold at the lower end broke off
a beautiful fan or switch about five feet
long, handle included. With this she
kept the flies at bay as we went along,
Tapping them off on each side every
now and then. Say what we may,
these are both bona fide implements,
each intelligently made for definite
purpOse.-Nature.

MOTHER.
Two little Outstretched arms, wee voice pleading
In tender tones through which sweet music ran.
Two sky blue eyes, a little night-gown figure,
And baby Willie whispered, Mamma can"
The tiny form pressed close to papas bosom
Was carried safely bed-ward up the stairs;
And happy mamma, left behind smiled softly
While swaying gently in her easy chair,
Not dreaming that the silvery voice whose music
Still trembling ON her ear in beauty rang
Would soon be hushed God sealed those lips of
ruby;
His last words those just whispered, Mamma
can"
Say, did an angel spy him in his slumber,
And long to seize for heaven so sweet prize
Was it his kiss that froze those lips to silence,
And closed to earth for aye those violet eyes ?
Strange that the words so oft lisped through his
lifetime,
When e'er some task seemed hard for him to scan,
Should be those uttered ON this fateful evening
Were they not most prophetic; Mamma can"
o little Willie, with thy arms up-stretchingl
Thou liftest mother in thy boundless faith,
She can be brave, and all lfes pillows breasting,
Greet thee at last, with joy at heavens gate.
Yes, Mamma can" press back the tears that
choke her,
And make home CHEEKY for the children left,
Yes, Mamma can" speak comfort to some other,
For many are the mothers thus bereft.
Yes, Mamma can" bring in the little wanderers,
Can help to cover little shivering forms,
Make warm the pattering feet small as Willies,
Protect as tender heads from gathering storms;
Do honest noble work where e'er he calleth,
Following behind, or leading in the van; .
Remembering every time that she succeedeth
A child in heaven exults that Mamma can"

Didn't Want to Grow up Bad.

Of all the spectacles of neglect and
want in a tcQld world" none is more
pitiful than that of a child begging, not
for charity, but for Christian care and
moral training. A case of this kind was
recently given by the New York Times
A bright little boy, twelve years old,
who said his name was Tommy McEvOy,
went alone into the Jefferson marke Ell
police court last evening, and said to
Justice Morgan, Judge, your honor, ]
want to give myself up"
"Why, my boy ?" asked the court.
Because" replied the lad, II amt
got no home, and don't want to live in
the streets and become bad boy"
''Why don't you stay at home 2"
81 amt got no home. Fathers been
dead nine years, and mother died be-
fore that"
"But where have you been living
since ~
first street. But she gets drunk, and
she won't let me stay indoors. To-day
she chased me out, and said if l ever
came back she would do something aw-
full to me. Pm afraid of her, and SO
I've got no home.
No body will take me in, because ]
amt got good clothes, and don't look
nice. l can't get any work and can't
get anything to eat unless beg or steal
it; then the cops'll take me in. l don't
want to be arrested. l don't want to
steal nor be bad boy. Won't you
please send me somewhere where can
learn something and get to be man
There's places like that, amt there 2"
The justice told the boy there were
such places for good boys, and taking
the little fellow under his protection,
promised to find him home in some
good institution.

Letter from Turkey

SIVAS, TURKEY, Oct. Z, 1879.
Editor of the CdledOnidn AS find
that our mail leaves here only once in
you, and have ample time to append as
many postscripts us ladies are usually
allowed before sending letters. We
learn that the shortest time for letter
to reach you is five weeks, and often
during the winter months the couriers
who take the mail, are delayed in trav
ersing the plains by the depth of snow
and bad roads.
We reached this city Friday, Oct. 3,
having been between three and four
days on our journey from Cesarea to
this place. AS we approached the base of
a long hill, two or three miles out of
Sivas we saw company of horsemen
galloping toward us, with ladies follow
ing it proved to be the missionaries
Mr.. and Mrs. Hubbard, Mrs. Perry, and
the teachers and converts accompa
nying them. 1t is the custom here, and
y
missionaries to meet, welcome and es-
cort the new ones to their field of
labor.
Sivas is the capital and largest city in
the pashalic or province of Sivas, which
has an area of $4,000 square miles and
a population of 100000. The city of
Sivas is by far the prettiest one through
which we have passed in Asia Minor
Its population is variously estimated !;
by some $4,000 and by others 60, 900 in
habitants. There are many trees and
gardens, and also little brooks or
streamlets which flow through the heart
of the city, feeding the fountains in the
yards and affording an abundance of
water for washing and practical pur-
poses, but the water for drinking comes
underground for some distance. Poplar
and willow trees abound, especially by
the water courses, giving pleasant as
pect to the place.
Shall tell you how the houses in the
Turkish villages and smaller cities are
constructed They are built of brick
made with straw, dried in the sun, and
when used, they plaster the walls inside
and out with the same material, which
gives the house the clay-colored appear
ance; cedar beams, sometimes large,
sometimes small, are placed across the
wall, then stones, and over all earth is
piled up, and often the grass springs up
and grows so that you cannot distin-
guish the houses in the distance scarce
ly, for they resemble green or clay
cOlOred mounds. In larger towns or
cities like this place, there are some
houses that have wooden frames and are
two stories in height but all are plas-
tered with either clay-colored or white
plaster. The bricks used for houses and
walls round them are nearly eight times
larger than those made in the United
q States. Of course the walls are very
thick, aud in the villages the windows
afford but little light, for they rarely
have glass in them, but oiled paper is
used as a substitute.
Their fuel consists of roots of trees,
bushes and dried manure; the latter
substance is odorless and burns like tin
der. Our coffee has been made by its
heat, eggs fried and boiled over fire of
