TFINF-BINDER AND HARVEST
ER

Since the TWine-binder Harvesting
machine has been pronounced sue
cess, it has had an extraordinary de-
mand. A meeting of the association
composed of the firms engaged in the
manufacture of these machines was
held few days since at Niagara Falls
and from the reports made by the diff
ferent manufacturers it appears that
about 10000 were put into the market
the present season. The association
say this was an over production for
the market, and it was recon.
mended to put $4,000 into the
market next season. But this
shows the wonderful popularity of
this labOr-saying machine on the farm.
1t is twenty years since inventors be-
gan experimenting for such desirable
aid to harvesting; much time and
money was unsuccessfully spent to
bring it to perfection for practical use,
but ingenuity and perseverance finally
accomplished what m1ltitudes believed

CYCLONE ON THE OCEAN

Tempestuous winds on the ocean
have not been uncommon in all past,
years, but that character of wind
storm known as the cyclone has been
infrequent on the seas. 1t has been a
tn cory that the presence Of great wa
ters is protection to those sudden
visitations Of the tornado or cyclone
which have lately occurred in various
parts of the country with sue de-
structive consequences. The steamship
arrivals from Europe during the last
week in August and later report the
prevalence of terrific tornadoes on the
ocean, similar in character to those
which have lately visited the United
States, particularly in the northwest.
One of the Lloyd line Of steamers,
which reached New York September /,
reports fearful encounters of different
steamers with revolving hurricanes.
If the tornadoes which have been let
loose the past few months on land
are being transferred to the ocean, a
voyage over the Atlantic will not be
pleasant to contemplate.

THF DEMAND FOR SERTANT
GIRLS.


ing more perplexing every year; and
how the problem for the obtainment
of female help is to be solved is not
easily answered. The American girls
have nearly all gone out of the bust
ness of doing domestic work in the
kitchen for a compensation. Some
have taken. to teaching; some while
away their time by reading and
playing the piano. 1t does American
girls no injustice to say that majority
of them are engaged in no employ
ments which add to the general stock
of wealth; the state is none the richer
for their labors. The annual value of
property, as taken by the assessor, is
seldom or ever increased by the addi-
tions made to it by American girls. A
little more than half century ago it
was just as respectable for girls to en-
gage in domestic employments for
wages as to teach for wages. Have
the modern reyealments of science
made it clear that work for wares by
part of our population is no longer
creditable? That the universal GUS
tom of our forefathers, which required
labor from every member of the family
who had the strength and ability to
perform it, was unreasonable?
The neglect of girls to engage in ac-
tive industries has physical disadyan-
tages. 1t will not be claimed that the
great proportion of American girls,
who are now emerging into mature
Womanhood, have the strength and
power of endurance of the women in
the earlier part of the present century
1t is within the memory of many yet
living when not one family in forty in
the rural districts kept a servant girl
Then the housewife, if she had not the
assistance of daughters, attended to
her household duties alone, and in the
season of haying and harvesting Tpro
vided meals for dozen field hands
She also spun her wool, fax and tow
and prepared the garments for the
family from homemade cloths. Ma.
chlnery has come to the aid of ON
modern women, and what the women
OF generations ago were capable of en-.
during and accomplishing is only re.
ferred to to raise the question whether
the young women of modern training
would possess the physical endurance
for such an amount of labor, should
emergency arise requiring it.
The chief reliance now for female
servants is from foreign families; those
OF foreign birth constitute more than
nlne-tenths of the supply in northern
cities, and nearly the same proportion
IN the country districts. How long the
supply can be drawn from this source
is uncertain. Much the larger proper
ton of our foreign population of al
natlonalities, after becoming sAmeri
canized and prosperous, adopt the Am
erlcan notion that house servant labor
outside of the family is mental and de
grading. If, by some not improbable
change, the tide of immigration to the
United States should !cease, or be di
verified to some other part of the globe
the foreign families now here would
in few years, to a large extent, adopt
the American idea in relation to house
hold servant labor. What the condi.
tlon OF American families then would
be is not difficult to understand

WHO WILL BUILD A HOTELf

The suggestion of the desirability OF
summer hotel in that part of this
city known as Washington Island con-
tinues to have favorable mention.
There is perhaps on the entire lake
shore no better location for a hotel to
accommodate those seeking pleasant
summer resort. The island is nearly
surrounded by a deep channel; at the
north end there is a sand-bar connect
ing it with the main land. The area
of land is amply sufficient to give
space for avenues and walks and rem
dering the surroundings attractive.
The island is not mere body of sand,
as some suppose; it was originally
covered with a thin turf of delicate
grass, which has been disturbed by the
treading of horses and cattle. 1t is
capable at small expense Of being re-
stored to its primitive beauty, as seen
by the early settlers Of this town. The
original forest trees have been but lit
tie invaded by the woodlands axe. A
most desirable consideration of the
island for a summer hotel is it's quiet
ness. Although within few minutes
walk of the business part Of the city
it is out of the way of all annoyances
The first settlers here regarded Wash,
ington Island as a sort of earthly para
disc; they entertained the belief il
would be the centre of attraction in all
coming years. 1t may yet fulfil the
expectations of the first inhabitants.

EDUCATIONAL REFORM.

|
Man cannot live by book education
alone, hence. the defect in the present
methods of school instruction. He
must be prepared to do something use.
| full for which there is demand. Book
knowledge alone has no particular
value in the market; it does not pur-
chase food and clothing. A good
education must not be moderated, but
to make it available for securing the
necessaries of life it must have con-
nected with it some industrial pur-
suit which is remunerative, Bows
should not be allowed to grow up to
manhood without having gained a
knowledge of some trade or occupation
to fall back upon in case of necessity !;
this knowledge should be inn arted in
the schools. Whenever the expert
ment has been properly tried Of COM
bining trades with school education, it
has proved advantageous. To such
people as have not given this subject
any attention it will strike unfavor-
ably. So most innovations on long es.
tablished usages are regarded unwise
or impracticable. Changes in the
kinds of instruction given in public
schools will be likely to meet with
strong disapprobation and perhaps de-
nonnced as visionary. Reforms are
apt to move slow, so it will be in this
matter. But there are evidences that
many of the leading educators are Civ
ing it thoughtful consideration, and
that ere long it will be brought more
effectively before the people.

The opponents of woman suffrage
have frequently made the charge that
In the event Of the ballot being allowed
to women, the husbands opinions
would be the wife's rule of action
hence it would be only duplicating the
husbands vote. This charge has been
repeatedly repealed in suffrage conven-
tons, as well as disproyed by practical
tests. 1t is strange reflection on any
woman of common intelligence to say
she has no opinions of her own-has
no INDEPENDENCE of thought, and that
she is the mere echo of her husbands
sentiments. If there be a woman who
is content to let her husband do her
thinking on all the great and vital
questions of the day, while she sits
passively by, awaiting his conclusions,
she is to be pitied for her obsequious-
ness. There are ladies so extremely
modest they hardly dare express their
minds on the important issues before
the country, for fear they will be
ranked with those who are derisively
called "strong-minded women"
A case in point, furnishing an exam
pie of woman's freedom Of thought, is
now presented in Iowa. The law of
that state, like that of several other
states, makes women eligible to the
office of School Superintendent. The
election in Iowa occurs in October
next. In Green county, Mr.. H. II.
Turner and Mrs. H. H. Turner are
both candidates for the office of Super
mtendent, one on the Republican tick
ct and the other on the Democratic
ticket; they are both highly respectable
and entertain different views on the
political issues of the times. They
quietly submit their claims to the two
political parties. TO this case in Iowa
probably many DIRECTORS will reply,
"Mr. and Mrs. Turner can't be of
much account"

We take the following criticism
from the Inter Ocean on the excessive
use of the word "lady." If woman
and "lady" mean the same-if the two
words are synonymous, then why not
call washer-Women and house servants
ladies'? The word lady" in these later
days has probably been much perVert-
ed from its original use; it is applied
to the illiterate as well as the educated
WOMEN VS.. LADY.
A lively discussion has been lately
aroused in the pages of several daily
journals over the use of the word
"a ady." Correspondents properly COM
plain that it is now so universally ap-
piled as to be absolutely meaningless,
and our ears are constantly offended
ny rs.-s-ls +ss-sss 81 -sln - ote- Tho
whole matter can be easily settled. In
the most refined and intelligent por-
tions of society, the word lady is sell
dom ever used, the good old Saxon
word woman being employed instead,
and to hear persons speak of "my lady
or gentlemen friends" stamp them now
quite as quickly as does the expression
lust elegant" The word gentle
man." also, is often misused as noted
above. One may say. A certain man
is a gentleman" but should never say
gentleman FRIEND" society gentle
man." etc. A prominent morning
journal lately headed an obituary no
tice of prominent person in social
life, Death of Society Lady" How
much better "Death of a Society
Woman" would have looked and
sounded. If writer's and takers would
only stick to the plain "man" and
woman" and use "lady" and "gen-
tleman" only when absolutely necessa-
ny, there would be no further trouble.
