signers to the call for the first meeting fifty

o. D. BALDWIN, president of the Fourth
National Bank, of New York, delivered an
address at banquet given by the New York
Stock Exchange, on Monday, in which he
said Il regard the New York Stock Ex-
change as acivilizing power, as second only
to the gospel of Jesus Christ" Very strange
ly the report says this remark twas received
with general laughter" Mr.. Baldwin must
certainly be right. ii we were to catalogue
the great civilizing agencies we should prob
ably rate them about this way: First, the
bucket shop second, the Chicago Board of
Trade; third, the gospel of Jesus Christ; and
fourth the New York Stock Exchange. If
the faro bank were permitted to have legal
existence we should be inclined to put that
at the head of the list, but heathendom has
made an unfair discrimination against it.

A NEW FIELD OF REFORM.

The Secretary of State of Illinois has issued
a license to the Woman's Mutual Benefit
Union, without capital to promote "frater-
nal sympathy, mutual help relief protection
and economy, wifely, daughterly, sisterly,
and motherly love" This is an association
which will undoubtedly be "a success from
the start" and FILL long felt want" How
they are going to work to promote fraternal
sympathy does not appear; but perhaps the
women of the union propose that all men
shall be their brothers, and with this under
standing will teach them to sympathize fra
ternally. There are some objections to the
brotherly dodge that individuals of either
sex have encountered in private expert
ence, but the scheme may be made
to work satisfactorily if judicious-
ly managed under a code of rules
1t is probable, however, that "fraternal SYM
pathy" will not be promoted to any great ex
tent without capital" Are the women not
aware that fraternal associations require for
their success handsome halls in which to
banquets and gorgeous regalia? And do not
such things require money? A man may be
moderately fraternal if the grips and pass
words are sufficiently numerous andinys-
terous; but it is to be feared that the bonds
will not hold him long if no parades or brass
bands are forthcoming, so that he may dis

but we fear the society must wait to be en-
dowed by some philanthropist before the
fraternity is on a sound basis.
AS to the other purposes designated, moth
ing could be more commendable. If there
is anything the public welfare demands more
than another it is the promotion of economy,
and of wifely, daughterly, sisterly and
motherly love. Short-sighted persons may
not have remarked any falling
off in these various phases of feminine affec-
ton; but, nevertheless, they must be pro-
NOTED, aud we wish the Union good speed.
We do not know how they mean to bring
the reformation about but the plans will
probably be disclosed later, and will be laid
with all haste before our readers. Nothing
is said about the promotion of the love of
sweethearts. which is singular omission,
when one considers the cold and heartless
manner in which young women who bear
that tender relation to members of the other
sex are prone to conduct themselves We
trust the Mutual Union will incorporate
sweethearts in the list of those whose love
needs reviving.

HOW WATCHES ARE MADE.

II viii be apparent to any one, who will
examine SoLID GoLD WATCH, that aside
from the necessary thickness for engray-
ing and polishing, large portion OF the
precious metal used, is needed only to
stifien and hold the engraved portions IN
place, and supply the necessary solidity
and strength. The surplus gold is actual
ly needlss so far ss UTILITY and beauty are
con cerned. In JAMES BOSS PATENT
GOLD WATCH CASES, this WASTE Of
precious metal is overcome, and the SAME
soLrpTY AND STRENGTH produced at from
one third to one half OF the usual cost Of
solid cases. This process is OF the most
simple nature, as follows: plate OF nickle
composition metal, especially adapted to
the purpose, has two plates OF SOLID GOLD
soldercd one on each side The three are
then passed between polished steel rollers,
snd the result is strip ofheavy plated
composition, from which the cases, backs,
centres, bezels, &c., are cut and shaped by
suitable dies and formers. The gold in
these are sufficiently thick TO admit Of all
kinds OF chasing, engraving and enamel
ing; the engraved cases have been carried
until worn perfectly smooth by time and
use without removing the gold.
THIS Is THE ONLY CASE MADE
WITH TWO PLATES OF SOLID GOLD
AND WARRANTED BY SPECIAL GER
TIFICATE.

SuNttr Rooms No article of furniture
that will not stand sunlight should be put
into room. for every room in dwelling
should have the windows so arranged that
at some time during the day a flood Of sun
light will force itself into the apartments.
The importance Of admitting the light Of
the sun freely to all parts OF our dwellings
cannot be too highly estimated Indeed,
perfect health is nearly as much depend
ent on pure sunlight as it is on pure air.
Sunlight should never be excluded. OK.
cept when so bright as to bo uncomforta
BILE to the eyes. And walks should be 10
bright sunlight, SO that tho eyes are pro.
tected by veil or parasol when inconyes
iently intense. A sun-bath is OF more ip.
portance in preserving healthful conat
ton Of the body than is generally under
stood. A sun-bath costs nothing, and
that is misfortune, for people are deluded
with the idea that those things only can
be good or useful which cost money. But
remember that pure water. fresh Air and
snnlit homes kept free from dampness
will secure you from many heavy bills OF
the doctors, snd give you health and vigor
which no money can procure.
II isa well established fact that the peo.
pie who live much in the sun are usually
stronger and more healthy than those
whose occupations deprive them OF sun
light And certainly there is nothing
strange in the result, aIee the same Law
applies with equal force to nearly every
animate thing in nature. II is quite easy
to arrange an isolated dwelling so that
every room may be flooded with sunlight
some time in the day, and il is possible
that many town houses could be 30 built
