The Charm of a Sweet Voice.

"a low sweet voice is an excel
lent thing in woman, Or any
body else. Nor is this charm in
compatible with public speaking.
Illustrate One of our most eloquent
women (and most easily heard by
large audiences, please notice. was
travelling in Maine. 1t was
warm summer day, and she wished
the window Of the parlor car opened.
Her request was conveyed to the
porter in the low pleasant tones OF
her conversational voice. A cul,
turedCanadian lady who was seated
behind her was attracted by these
musical and winning tones, TOR
more than anything else the voice
betrays inherent nature, resolved
to make her acquaintance. THIS
led to engage ments to speak IN
Montreal, Ottawa, and other chief
towns, and opened Canada to our
national organizer, Mrs. Emily
Mclaughlin, of Boston.-O'aaom S'9'

CHALK TALKS.
What Are They =!

Well, they are lectures illustra-
ted with large crayon pictures,
large enough to be seen across the
hall, Mrs. Bayley has been "chalk
talking" for the National Women's
Christian Temperance Union for
long time with great success, and
was here in indianapolis last win
ter" But perhaps it is not known
that we have "chalk talker" Of
our own in Indiana? Mr.. A. H.
Hutchinson has been lecturing in
Indianapolis for some time, and
has spoken at four of the leading
churches of indianapolis to the en-
tire satisfaction of large audiences.
His lectures are of nature to hold
the attention and interest both
young and old; his pictures are
bright and well drawn, and he
could be employed to advantage in
any town where it is desired to
arouse an interest in the temper
ance question. He is only nine
teen years old, but his lectures
would do credit to older and more
experienced lectureres. His terms
are S. and expenses. Address him
at 81 Carlos street, indianapolis.

The Temperance Physiology.

The introduction of the Tenn p er-
ance Physiology by Mrs. Mary
Hunt will mark a new era in
temperance and school work.
Forewarned is forearmed; and
when our boys come to an intelli-
gent understanding of the effects OF
alcohol and tobacco upon the sys-
tenn, before those habits have been
contracted, the best safegu ards
from their ravages have been Sc
cured. The book itself is a thing
of beauty, and will prove joy for
ever to the mothers OF the land, If
not to the teachers.
Our City Superintendent, Prof.
A. L. Purinton, says: ut has the
best arrangement md is the most
work on physiology for the
grade he has examin-
ed and he would recomm end It's
in all the schools Of the
land.o

our hearts, kindling christian char
ity and forgiveness? Are there
not common aims and desires, NOV
ing us to 60 forward? Is not the
wretchedness and misery of homes
about us; the blighted lives of
loved ones, for whom we yearn
with an anxiety born of agony: a
call to us to forget differences as to
methods and stimulate renew ed
zeal to Danish from our midst this
fountain-source of crime and mis-
cry?
AS Christian women let us forget
the things that are behind, and 60
forward carrying the gospel of
peace and good will to those who sit
in the shadow of gloom and despair.
Let US trust the ruling of events
to God. He purpoaeth and execu-

Him. The duty of the hour for u s,
is to go forward in his strength,

that the same could be said of this

EDITORIAL LETTER.


Dear Sisters OF the W. C. T. u:
I cannot resist the moving of the
Spirit to drop the editorial "a0e, y
and talk to you out of my heart, of
matters pertaining to the interest
of our special work
We have just passed through a
season of unusual excitement that
has been a severe test of our faith
and OF our work. There have been
differences believe honest differ
ences-and for the time we seemed
to have lost sight Of the prize of
our high calling" Has not the
time fully come to clay aside every
weight" that has been hindering
us, and fixing our eyes anew upon
the goal for which we have been
striving, 'forget the things that
are behind" and press toward
the accomplishment of that for
which our hearts are knit together
in the bonds of Christian sympa-
thy?
I realize as never before the re-
sponsibility laid upon me in speak
ing to the women of our State.
And never before have | SO earn
estly asked God to guide my
thoughts and direct my pen. If
in the past | have seemed to
speak the things that did not make
for peace, l have spoken out of hon
est convictions, and with the light
I had; and in the interest only of
God and Home. And to-day the
assurance comes to me that if l
have failed to speak wisely, God is
able to override my mistakes, that
they hinder not His work. If any
have felt aggrieved, let me say to
them, none but feelings oftenderest
regard are in my heart for any
member of our united Sisterhood,
and no word of mine has been
spoken to wound, but to lead into
the light of truth as shown to me.
And while with Martin Luth-
er l say, "Here I stand, l can
do no other; God help me-" l dc
feel that l am bound to respect the
differences of my co-workers and al
low the same liberty of choice in the
conduct of life that | claim for N.Y.
self. This [ have honestly tried
to do, and there is not one of our
band whose hand | cannot grasp
with loyal trust, and say, "Let US
journey together, for our aim is
one"
We are human and prone to err
but is not the Divine spark within

Details of GOrdOn's Battle.

LONDON, March 31.-Later advices give
the details of Gordon's engagement near
Halfyeh on the 10th inst. The rebels pur-
sued the Egyptians two miles after the battle.
The confusion during the retreat was fearful
to behold. The Egyptian regulars and the
Bashi bazouks kept shouting out that their
generals had betrayed them. The wounded
received no attention for seven hours. The
the troops had been clamoring for three
weeks before to meet the enemy. In
the early part of the encounter
the Egyptians were successful and
the enemy was actually in full retreat when
their cavalry made a dashing charge. De
spite the reverse, the inhabitants still remain
staunch friends to Gordon. One Arab lent
Gordon thousand pounds, as his treasury
is empty. Another Arab equipped 200
blacks for him. Two black pashas have been
arrested for charging into the ranks of their
own troops, thus allowing the enemy to enter
the gap made.

EGGS AND RuTTER.

SHIPPERS TAKE SPECIAL NoTICE.-There is q
practice in vogue among some shippers of pro-
duce which tends greatly to demoralize the pro-
duce market and break down prices. 1t is the
penny wise and dollar foolish plan of producers
shipping butter and eggs direct to the retailer.
In doing this they enable the retailer who re
ceives their consignments to sell these commod-
tiles cheaper than their neighbor; their neighbor
looks about for as cheap market aud if he can
not find it ceases to sell those goods the conse
quence is the commission merchant has to re-
duce prices and the shipper loses more on what
is sold through the commission merchant than he
gains by the retailer whereas if all shippers OF
eggs and butter were to consign only to the com
mission men, the commission men would be able
to obtain for their clients better prices. 1t is OF
course an interest of the commission merchant
to obtain as high price for the goods consigned
to him as possible.
