THE ST. PAUL BROTHERHOOD.
Aside from the announcement that j.
W. Wiedrick had returned to the Western
Union the reports at the Brotherhood
meeting yesterday were all of an encour-
aging character. Several more contrlbu-

Oft toe, was veil chosen. Some women,
she argued, were brought up to be
mere humdrum mothers Of families;
others were educated to be the slaves
nf mans caprice, beautiful, it may be,
bat S ayes; whereas others-and heie
the speaker took off her bonnet anu
proceeded TO show what an enlightened
woman should be. Nor did these
views differ in any way from those
which have been expressed from time
10 time at st. James Hall and else
where by Englishwomen.
What is meant by a woman" the
speaker argued has never been defined.
Without a definition the raison d'etre
Of womankind could not be discussed
The fair sex and such other titles
she very truly remarked could not be
regarded as accurately describing all
women, being rather complimentary
insults and eilded chains, for, women
werer really slaves. In some countries
they were slaves Of force, in others
Of established right. But they
we're slaves none the less, and
their tyraDts must expect them to
show the vices of slaves-peTidy, COS
quetry, etc. Some women were val.
ued as objects of luxury, others as
articles Of domestic utility and house
hold drudges. All that she claimed
for women was, not superiority to men,
but equality with men. She confessed
TO being a fanatic. Asa girl-about
the time, we presume, that she killed
the %viper-shc had been a fanatic Of
Catholicism; now she was a fanatic Of
humanity, and so on.
Madame Micheis lecture may be
considered as neither better nor worse
than hundreds of others. She did
not express a wish to suppress any
OF our statesmen, nor did she advocate
teaching the young female idea to
shoot with revolvers. Fad she done

even death might have been intro>

tention. Once during the lecture a
member, more audacious than his
thirteen fellow sufferers, shufied with
his umbrella upon the floor, as if he
needed only a little encouragement to
break out into applause. No one en-
couraged him and the catastrophe was
avertcd. Even when Madame Michel
ventured on a little pleasantly with
reference to the fact that sho-Louise
Michel-should be speaking Of
Michelet, the remark was received
with chilling silence. In fact, the
GOODNESS of the audience was only
equalled by the GOODNESS Of the room;

NInnhinerY nnd b

Mr.. Edward Atkinson says that it
takes 100000 men, women and chill
dren to make the cotton cloth, theuse
of which is now enjoyed by the peo.
ple of the United States, who are the
best clothed people in the world. II
those who do this work were obliged
TO use machinery no more effective
than the spinning wheel or hand loom,
it would require, be computes, 1900.
600 persons continuously employed
ten hours q day to do the necessary
work.
According to the view Of a certain
class Of s~elf-called labor reformers,'
Of whom we hear less now than for
merly, aud less than We 7 likely to.
when hard times come again, modern
labor saving cotton machinery must
be depriving 15,84O,000 men, women
and children Of steady work; the res
formers" would assume remunerative
work.
Where are they, and what are they
doing? In every department of pro-
ductiye labor, machinery has been and
is having q corresponding effect. The
displaced millions Of mythical hand
workers cannot have starvedto death,
or have been otherwise exterminated,
for there has been a rapid increase OF
population in all manufacturing coun-
tries, and the average length Of human
life is greater than it used to be.
TIE obvious truth-obvious, that is,
to all who can see things as they are
is, that SO far from displacing labor,o or
the demand for it, labor saving ma
chinery furnishes more and more
varied opportunities for r~emunerativt
work, larger pay for the worker, and
cheaper products for the worker to
enjoy.
Machinery increases the cotton
workers capacity a ~huudredfold, cot
ton cloth is oheapened; and, as a nat.
ural result, a hundred times as many
people can afford to use cotton and
more of it. And a similar effect il
produced in every other department,
Of productive labor.
The anti machinery argument hold
good only on the assumption that saw
agery-which 10 our climate mean
incessaut toll with Dakednoss, hunger
indifferent shelter and general MISERY
lis better than limited labor, mad
efficient by steam power and machiner!
aud surrounded by all the comfort
that labor brings where labor is aided
as it is with us, by the fruits Of q ecu

Intemperance and improyidence, tn

OF Attention, St. Louis county, who
has been acting as special agent Of the
forest department, under appointment
Of Prot: Z. s. Sargent, of Harvard, for
the collection OF data for the Tenth
United States census. Continuing his
Introductory remarks, he stated that
the novel shipment OF acorns had
been ordered in connection with
~ bushels Of pig nuts by Thomas
Meehan, Of Germantown, Pa. Pig
nuts, he explained, grew on a species
of hickory tree, but were not edible
on account oil their bitterness. These
acOrns and pig-nuts were TO be ex
ported to England snd Germany,
where they would be planted during
the coming spring. Experiments 10
those countries with various kinds Of
hard wood trees indigenous to North
America have proven these varieties
to be the best adapted to the foreign
soil and climate. In their adopted
land they will be planted on barren
hillsides and such other untillable
land as a only be utilized in the pur-
suit OF forestry. Acorns are not a
nerohantable article. Neither can
pig-nuts be procured in the
market; for these reasons there
vas no little difficulty . in

one fall and spring, otherwise ID would
be worthless. 1t was with considera.
bic misgiying that Mr.. l.etterman un-
deTtook the contract. His knowledge
of forestry enabled him to select the
desired varieties, but the trouble be
anticipated was in finding them in
sufficient quantities. and in inducing
parties to do the gathering. Searchs
ing in the forests about Attention, he
found a great many red oak and pig
nut trees. Encouraged by his discov

ing he discovered a man walking along
the track, about one hundred yards
ahead. A fireman and brakeman
were on the engine at the time and the
hell was rug by one of them, but the
deceased did not seem TO pay any
attention to it. The whistle was then
sounded, but the engine struck the
man before he could get out Of he
way. The engine was going at the
rate of twenty miles an hour at the
time. but was stopped and the body
brought back to the city.
A verdict of accidental death was

We print 10 another column the
story Of Missourian who is on his
way TO Florida with 100 hives Of bees,
that they may make honey Of the
winter flowers Of that summer land.
II Is strange that this man BRINGS bees
zOOO miles to sip the sweets of flowers
that our own people never think Of
turning bees into, They prefer 10 wait
till the Missourian gets his honey,
takes il back home, and then buy Il
from him. On the Mississippi there
are many bee boats that carry hives
up and down the river, keeping pace

the first example OF 100 colonies being
carried 1000 miles By rail in search Of
