None of the Home Influences
on That Side.

This is the way it was done in
Iowa. We clip from this from the
Signal in reference to the Prohibi-
tion election day in iowa:
"Out Of the mouths Of babes came
wisdom, for the children marched
and sang inspiring temperance songs.
Little girls gave button-hole boquets
to those who voted for the Amend
ment, and the little boys with hands
full of tickets went into the throng
of voters about the polls, asking men
TO vote for the Amendment. No ten
der little hands or pleading childish
voices were on the other side. The
men who voted for the saloons were
alone. They had none Of the home
with or about them. The hopes and
prayers Of their own wives and chill.
dren were not with them.

Betrayed Themselves.

A detective declares that men will
talk and give themselves away. If
they could only hold their tongues
they would be safe. An American
vessel was mysteriously set on fire
at sea and abandoned; but the fire
was smothered, and it was after
wards found that her cargo, which
had been insured for large sums, was
fraudulent all the way through, the
wine casks being filled with water,
etc. The sailors swore that the
matches had been closed, and there
being no other way of getting into
the hold the cause Of the fire baffled
everybody. But the captain and
mate, who were both arrested, soon
began to talk. The mate was given
TO understand that the captain had
made a confession, so he was ready
to tell all he knew TO get out Of the
scrape himself; and with the mates
confession to show the captain there
was no difficulty in bringing him
out. The thing. was SO well con.
trived, if these men had not given
it away it could never have been
found out. In the cooks galley, un.
der each of the four feet Of the stove,
they put round block Of wood, as if
to raise the stove. Under one Of
these blocks was hole opening di'
rectly into the hold. Under the hole
was lot of inaamable stuff, well
soaked with turpentine. One day,
while the cook was out Of his galley,
the captain and mate raised the
stove, took away the block, dropped
q lighted match through the hole,
and the FIRE was started. These two
men not only talked themselves into
prison, but put their employers in
pretty scrape.

Women and Religion.

The moral and religious degener.
acy of the times is feature so mark
cd that even the most casual observ-
er is unable to overlook it. The
fragments of old forms and creeds
mark every step Of modern progress,
until one sometimes is tempted to
ask if the world is TO be left wholly
without formulated beliefof any sort.
On the one hand are to be met mega
tions, unbelief, agnosticism; and fire..
quently on the other a construction
Of ancient creeds that is practically
an abrogation and denial.
To propose q remedy for this epi-
demic Of unbelief is beyond the wis
dom of any man, and nothing short
Of time can effect cure.
1t is not impossible, however, to
discern some of the causes that have
produced this state Of things. Per-
haps most effective among them is
the development of what we are ac-
customed to call "the woman ques-
tion;" in other words, the turning of
the attention and thoughts Of women
into new and broader channels. In
modern civilization the existence Of
a religion depends upon the faith
and fidelity of women. Left to men
the church would become either sys-
ten Of moral ethics or an organiza-
tion striving for temporal power
through its hold upon spiritual in.
stincts. The religious element is
essentially feminine attribute, and
religious systems as distinguished
from moral PHILOSOPHERS have been
the outgrowth of the minds of women
or Of men whose character was mod.
i6ed by asceticism.
In our day women have largely
abandoned religious for social ethics;
not upon faith but upon knowledge
has their attention been centred, and
the inevitable result has followed
A nation learns its faith by the fire.

A Girls Room.

A look into a girls room will give
one an idea of what kind Of o woman
she will probably become. A girl
who keeps her clothes hung up neat.
ly, whose room is clean, will be very
apt to make good wife and a sue
cessful woman. Order and neatncss
are as essential to our comfort as well
to that Of others about US. A girl who
throws down her things anywhere
will do things in a slovenly, careless
way. A girl who does not make her
bed till after dinner, and she should
always make il herself rather than
have a servant to do it, and throws
her dress down in chair, will make
a poor wife nine cases out of ten. II
all the world could see how a girl
keeps her dressing-room, many up.

Always be tidy about your person
and your room as if your friends
could always see you. Get into the

loss society sustains in the resulting
neglect Of their office as religious in
structors to the race. There is, it
seems to US, no more wefghty consid.
Grafton than this connected with
the tangled problem of the condition
of the sex today. We believe fully
in woman's rights TO decide the ques.
tion for herself, but We believe at.
tempts to evade IL TO be as dishonest
and cowardly as they will ultimately
be futile.
OF course we would not claim that
the unsettled state Of religious
thought today is wholly owing to
the cause indicated. The broaden.
ing of modern thought in all direct,
ions, the wonderful development of
knowledge,the rapidity Of ofnineteentb
century life, are all important fact
ors in thecase. We do believe, how
ever, that no element entering into
the problem is SO important as the
position and intention of women,

Dow Discovering a Thief.

After Lorenzo Dow had retired TO
his room after q hard days travel, in
the western part of Virginia, a nuns.
Der Of persons collected in q bar-room
to enjoy their usual revelries, as was
the custom in that part Of the coun.
try. At a late hour, the alarm was
given that one of the company had
lost his pocket-book and search was
proposed, whereupon the landlord
remarked that Lorenzo Dow was in
the house, and if the money was
there he could find it. The sugges.
tion was instantly received with ap-
probation, and accordingly Mr.. Dow
was aroused and brought forth to find
the money. AS he entered the room
his eyes ran through the company
with searching inquiry, but nothing
appeared that could fix guilt upon
any one. The loser appeared with a
countenance expressive Of great con-
cern, and besought Mr.. Dow for Heav-
ems sake, to find the money.
"Have any left the company since
you lost your money!" asked Mr..
Dow.
"None," said the loser.
"Then," said Lorenzo, turning to
the landlord, ago and bring me q
large dinner-pot."
This created no little surprise
But as supernatural powers were
universally conceded, his directions
unhesitatingly obeyed. Accordingly
the pot was brought forward and
placed in the middle of the room.
"Now," said Lorenzo, 'go and
bring me the old chicken cock from
the roost."
This was also done, and at Loren
zo's directions, the cock was placed
in the pot and covered over with a
board.
"Let the doors now be fastened and
the lights extinguished," ," said Dow.
"Now," said he, "every person in
the room must rub his hands hard
against the pot, and when the guilty
hand touches it, the cock will crow"
Accordingly, all came forward, and
rubbed, or pretended to rub against
the pot. But no cock crowed.
"Let the candles now be lighted" +"
said Lorenzo, "there is no guilty per-
son here. If the man had any mon.
ey, he must have lost it some place
else. But stop, let us now examine
the hands"
This was the most important part
Of his arrangement. For on exami-
nation, it was found that one man
had not rubbed against the pot. The
others hands being black with SCOT
from the pot, was a proof of their in
nocence.
"There," said Lorenzo, pointing to
the man with clean hands, "there is
the man who picked your pocket"
The culprit, seeing his detection,
at once acknowledged his guilt.
