A Fitting that Units.

There is one phase of the ques-
ton Of our girls education that
seems a most deplorable one, but
though often seen has never, |
think, been written up.
1t Is the selection Of an unpracti-
cal education for very practical
needs. A young lady who must
make her own living: is sent to the
same school with one who has new
err lifted her finger, Or had an hours
good honest care in her life. For
the latter, an expensive, snowy
boarding school is chosen, and the
father Of the former, melted, per-
haps, by a wife more ambitious
than wise, saves all he can rake
and scrape together to send her to
the same place, simply that she
may not lose her social status.
He questions its suitability,
though, when he places her there,
and meets the elegant and accom-
plished lady principal, who has
much to say about "cultuah," and
looks down a little, he can't help
feeling, on his homespun coat and
character.
He expresses his fears to his wife
when he gets home, but she silen-
ces him with the reminder, Judge
Thayer's daughter goes there, and
we are as good as he is any day"
So he settles down to an unsatis-
factory hope that twill come out
all right, because Della is a sensi-
Bile girl, and won't have her head
turned as some would.
By and by the matter of studies
comes up, Here the plain father
comes to the front again, declaring
she shall not study the languages
and music, she must take some
thing she can use. But the better
half contends and conquers. "If
Judge Thayer's daughter takes
French and German our Della
must" and so the matter is COM
promised by letting Della take mu-
sic and the languages two terms
and bookkeeping one, resulting in
the thorough knowledge of neither.
She has a good time, of course !;
it is a private school, SO that the
girls are not under very strict dis
cipline, and can have elegant re-
ceptions and cosy but expensive
parties.
Della, who is fond of society, en-
tiers into it with heartiness, gain
ing at the same time pretty So
ciety manner ard knowledge of
the world of fashion, but alas gain
ing little else. Now and then, be-
ing as we have said, sensible
girl, she feels this herself; is con-
scious on rainy evenings of a "blue-

Men do not Die for Beer.

Bob Burdette, in the Burlington
Hd,ekeye, says: "Men have fought,
bled and died, but not for beer.
Arnold Winkleried did not throw
himself upon the Austrian spears
because he was ordered to close his
saloon at 9o'clock. William Tell
did not hide the arrow under his
coat to kill the tyrant because the
edict had gone forth that the free
born Switzer could not drink key
OF beer every Sunday. Warren
did not die that beer might flow
as the brooks ripple and murmur

harmless, etfeminate, much sneered

brighter, more glorious figure in
the history of the noble struggle.
for human liberty than beer. Man
liked it, but they fought rather
than take it. The fights around a
whisky barrel do not pass into his
tory; they pass into the police
court records. Even the battle of
Brandywine was not fought that
whisky might be free. No clause
in the declaration of independence
declares that Sunday concert, gar
den with five brass horns and six
ty-eight kegs of beer are the in
alienable rights of free people and
the corner stone Of all good govern
ment. The battles of this world
have been fought for grander
things than free whisky. The he
roes who usually fall in the strug-
gle for the supremacy Of rum are
usually shot in the neck, and their
martyrdom is generally clouded by
the phantoms of the jim jams.
There will be no temperance war.
Whisky makes men fight, it is true,
but they usually fight each other.
And if they don't the chances are
all in favor Of the sober people 1t

can't get away with drunken

ness" not at all commensurate with
the weather, and, after every visit
home feels more and more the diff
ference in her surroundings, and
looks forward with sickening
dread to the time when she must
leave it all and work for living.
Her idea of what that work will be
are too vague to be comforting, and
when she tries to get advice from
Mrs. Airtop, the elegant principal,
she receives the reply given with
eondescending dignity: "You need
have no fears, child; after gradua-
ting from our school you will be fit
ted to fill any position"
She tries to be content with this
and pinning her faith to the roll of
paper and the blue ribbon which
ushers her out into the world, she
puts the first genuine hard work of
the course into her graduating es-
say, and makes a success of it. 1t
is praised great deal too much,
perhaps, as such efforts are apt to
be, and she takes it with her diplo-
ma as stock in trade" feeling it is
powerful enough to conquer all
things. 1t isn't though, and the
articles she produces later are re-
markable for nothing but the
promptness with which they are re-
turned by the polite editors. She
can get no assured position as
teacher, because of her unsystemat-
ic methods. She attempts office
work but finds it too irksome, and
comes home at last to keep up a
desultorv course of homework ard
sewing.
Her society friends have long
since fulfilled the mission for which
their school life fitted them--mar-
ried rich husbands and are settled
down to ease and luxury-while
she, untitled for work by the very
means which should have been its
highest incentive, has settled down
to the same idleness in the face of
urgent calls to duty.
That this is a truthful picture
all will affirm who have seen the
result Of choosing school for the
present enjoyment and social
standing it will give its pupils,
rather than the future usefulness
for which it fits Them Christian at

The Gazette says:

ing marked blending of benigni-
ty and intellectual strength. She
is never nonplused, never sur
prised. She holds the reins with
IA firm hand, is always courteous
and always fearless. Her predom-
mating purpose seems to be to
push the business forward as rap
idly as possible in the most APP
proved parliamentary way. In her
intense application and incisive
utterances she reminds one of
Judge Hoadly as he appeared at
the last Democratic National Con-
vention, and almost any one else
filling her place temporarily APP
pears to nearly as great Il disad-
vantage ny contrast, as dld Judge
Stevenson on that memorable oc-
casion. This remarkable woman,
is perfect genius, a true heroine,
has unquestionably been raised up
by God to bear rule in love over
her Christian sisters and to lead
them to victory. AS an organizer
Of the work, and in her practical
contact with the masses of her
Christian sisterhood, she is just as'
successful as in the management
of Il national convention, it being
almost wholly due to her tact and
ability that the w. c. T. U. has
made latterly such rapid progress
in the South.

Old Time.

From Mrs. A. D. T. Whitney's Mother Goose
for Grown Folks-after "Tafy Was
Wclshman."
Old Time came into my house of clay
And pilfered its pride of flesh away;
knocked at the door Of the years in vain,
To ask for its goodness again.
Old Time came to me yet once more
For crueler theft than he thieyed before;
Stealing the very marrow and bone
That the strength of my life was builded on. e.
Old Time! at last thou shalt lie in thy bed
And thy years and days be buried and dead !;
And the strength of the life to come shall be
In the great revenge l will have OF thee!

Children and Temperance.

The women and children exer-
cised direct influence in winning
the great temperance victories in
Iowa and other Western States.
Miss Frances e. Willard, President
of the National Women's Christian
Temperance Union, has collected
some truly pathetic stories about
the children, "whose hearts and
songs were the sunshine that never
left the banner of the amendment"
"On the voting day in Iowa" it is
said "barefooted urchins went tim
idly up to well-dressed business
men, saying: please, sir won't
you vote for mother and me ?-my
father is a drunkard." Little boys
marched up and down through the
crowd Of voters with banners
wreathed in evergreen, wherein
were the words: "Please vote for
the home" or tremble, King Alec
hol, we shall grow up" Little
girls went out two by two, with
baskets heaped with button hole
bouquets, and while at a little dis
lance fond motherly eyes watched
their proceedings, they SAID to the
voters: won't you putin a ballot,
sir, for the amendments" and if
they say they had or would, the lit
tie fingers handed up dewy bunch
of flowers Rough men carefully
pinning childhood's sweet gift of
'posies' on their checked shirts !;
Germans and Swedes fastening a
sprig Of mignonette in their old
hatbands and colored men tying a
full blown rose to the only button
left upon the threadbare coat, and
saying Yes, honey, dis chile is fur
de 'men'ment cherry time y
"In one Of the river towns the
Mayor brought in a bloated Ger
man beer drinker to vote the 'whis-
ky ticket when the Germans
children, fresh from the Band of
Hope procession, hurried forward
the little girl throwing her arms
around her fathers neck, and say
ing, with tears: Papa, please vote
for US at home? and the boy, who
was cripple, taking him by the
hand, with the same plea. 'Ach,
mein Colt, dis vas too much ex-
claimed the German, breaking
away from the man who had count
ed on him, and going up to the
ballot-box with the vote his little
daughter gave him, while she held
one hand and the lame boy hob
bled on the other side as guardian.

How to Save the Boys.

Women who have sons to rear,
and dread the demoralizing infu-
ences of bad associates, on ght to un-
derstand the nature Of young man
hood. 1t is excessively restless.
1t is disturbed by vague ambitions,
by thirst for action, by longings
for excitement, by irrepressible de-
sires to touch life in manifold
ways. If you, mothers, rear your
sons so that their homes are asso-
ciated with the repression of natur-
al instincts, you will be sure to
throw them in the society that in
any measure can supply the need
of their hearts. They will not 90
to the public houses at first for love
of liquor-very few people like the
taste Of liquor; they go for the ami
mated and hilarious companionship
they find there, which they discov-
er does SO much to repress the dis
turbing restlessness in their
breasts. See to it, then, that their
homes compete with public places
in attractiveness, Open your
blinds by day, and light bright
fires at night. illuminate your
rooms. Hang pictures upon the
wall. Put books and newspapers
upon your tables. Have music and
entertaining games. Danish de-
mons Of dulness and apathy that
have so long ruled in your house
hold, and bring in mirth and good
cheer. Invent occupations for your
sons. Stimulate their ambitions in
worthy directions. While you
make home their delight, fill them
with higher purposes than mere
pleasure. Whether they shall
pass happy boyhood, and enter
upon manhood with refined tastes
and noble ambitions, depends Upon
you. Do not blame miserable bar
keepers if your sons miscarry. Be
lieve it possible that with exertion
and right means, mother may
have more control over the destiny
of her boys than any other inhu-
ence whatever.-Appleton's Journal.

to Salt Lake week ago. Jim does
not come to town very often, so when
he was here he struck good many
of the boys, went through the sA-
