Things which they don Understand.
Anybody who has led a domestic life knows how
common such things as the headache, and pains in
the chest, are among the women who do the work.
Often, and perhaps generally, the distresses are
borne without much complaint. The women get
about and the machinery of the house goes on.
Beyond this those coarse grained animals whom
New England women call the men folks sell
dom look. So long as their wives or daughters are
not actually in bed, under the doct,r's care, the
average thick skinned husband and father gives
the subject no attention At the same time the
poor household drudges-who deserve q better
fate-creep arohnd, broom or utensils in hand, up
stairs, down stairs and out-of-doors, doing that
woman's work which sis never done - Losses of
loved wives and fair grls--losses whose sudden
ness and unexpectedness astonish those wooden
pated husbands and fathers-fal, seemingly out
of clear sky, and form the logical sequel to the
story of neglect.

he cherishes in Il peculiar degree the
sentiment which requires that the final
resting place of the body should be
made an agreeable subject of contem-
plation to the living soul. According
ly. while other rich men have been
putting up gaudy palaces in which TO
enjoy this life, Mr. Gould has been
engaged in planning the abode in
which his body will remain when he is
done with it. 1t Is in appearance an
iron temple, Of the variety styled in
auiis; that is, it has columns in front
only, and the side walls are carried
forward to help with the columns in
forming the vestihule or pronaos. En-
gagged pilastcrs with Ionic piIastcrs are
built into the side and rear walls.
Being about thirty feet long and wide
in proportion, with flight Of s,cps in
front, it will be cxteriorily, the hand
soonest ediiicc Of its kind in Green
wood cemetery, if not in America.
The in .erior is divided into two long
blocks of arcosolia, the openings of
which will be sealed up as they are
filled, and n narrow passage between.
At the end of the passage there is to
be fine stained glass window, in which
crowd OF angels and saint, are rep.
resented singing. The interior roof Of
this par, of the temple will be formed
Of bronze raftors, with panels of glass
mosaic in classic designs between.
similar panels will occupy the trian-
gular spaces above the door and win
dow. The design for the stained
window is by ,lr Herbert H. y.
Pierce; and in its general composition,
and particul1 .ly in it, scheme Of color,
it reminds one Of certain works of Fra
Angelica. The architect Is Mr.. !. II.
French. Mr., Gould has not yet chosen
his particular niche.

Land for Actual Settlers.

Government Nofo OiDus-No More
Grants t0 Ruro1&.

The disposition Of the public land Is
certainly to be a very prominent sub
icct Of discussion, and it may ere long
become one of the test questions IN
national politics. The prohibition OF
land grants was long ago demanded,
and no congress will hereafter dare to
give away any part OF the public do
mrin 20 a corporation. But there is a
popular demand for still more -trln-
gent regulation than the prohibition
Of land grants The sale Of vast tracts
to foreign capitalist, has excited in
tense dislike, and the adoption of
measure, to prohibit the establishment
Of immense landed estates on wha. Il
nos government property Is an urgent
requirement. The sale Of vast tract
in Tcxa-, known as tho Pan Handle,
10 an English company for grazing
purposes, has provoked the most re.
cent outbreak Of public opinion n 10
reform Of the government land system.
The total land area OF the United
Staty-, not including Alaska, 1900.
100000 acres, and the total amount
in farms, according to the last census,
is J3Gu~l.s3j acres. The number 1t
acres owned by the government at the
time that census was taken was l,2,5,-
9IG,33S. It therefore appear that
"O,I1l,I21 acres are now IN the pos.
session Of corporations, and railway
claims are pending torucar,y a- much
more. 1t should be borne in mind,
too. that many Of the best farms have
been purchased of railways. and the
total amount Of land received by the
latter from the government exceeds
2ODOOU.OOo acre.. OF the land owned
by the government in 1850 at least
100000. 600 acre, was worthlo--, either
Tor culture or for timber, 50 that the
public domain was really but "tj,"i",-

would take more than sixty yaar- to
dispose Of the public land, even at the
rate Of last year, I5,G'a,~iN acres.
But no one can doubt that it would
promote the welfare Of the nation "a
reserve the whole public domain for
actual settlers, and it is also desirable
TO restrict the amount sold 20 each
person. Experience ha. shown that
the country Is most prosperous, agrI
culiurally. whose surface is divided up
into small farms. The average area
of the 100, .9o7 farms Of the United
states is a fraction more than l5s
acres each, and the increase in the
number of farms j. now confined al
most entirely to those exceeding fifty
acres. 1t Is wise for the government
to adopt measure to insure the diyi, oi
Of it, remaining lands into small farms
for actual settlers. and congress will
undoubtedly be asked 10 enact laws
for that purpose at its next session.
