the evidence we have that E
any knowledge that God had
that commad. What person. acqua
ed with the iDstinctiyely self-deny
cautious nature of woman, can beliS
that Eve, who Mr.. Ta1mage tells b.
was an immaculate daughter OF
God" would have eaten that apple
had the Creator himself commanded
her not to eat! Or had her husband
condescended to explain to her the i'm.
portance of the matter? On the other
I hand, there can be no possible doubt
of Adams guilt. When Eve present
ed the apple to him, he quietly took il
4 ard ate it without word of rebuke
( or remonstrance; yet to him had been
/ given the express command not to eat.
Had he had the smallest desire to obey
the command, would he not have said
to Eve when she handed him the APP
pie. "Oh, my dear, throw that thing
away 1t is an awful sin to eat it!
God himself forbade me to eat it be-
fore you were createdI'
Instead CT acting thus, as any well
disposed, prudent woman would have
acted had she been in Adams shoes,
he placidly took the apple and COB
bled it up without word. Yet Mr..
/ Talmage has no word of condemna-
ton for Adams sin of disobedience,
and breaches long homilies about poor
Ewes!
AS this false charge has been made
against Eve Tor more than thousand
years, some people may fancy it not
worth while to attempt to correct it
at this lata hour. l think it very i'm
portant to the welfare of women that
it be corrected, as it tends to prejudice
male minds against women, and great
ly increase the male Idea of mans
natural superiority, mentally and
morally, to woman. This is evidence
ed by the case of boy of II years old
who, not long since, listened to q ser
mon which traduced Eve as Mr.. Tai
mege did, and next week, being order
ed by his school teacher to write
composition, chose woman for his
theme, and wrote and read the follow
ing:
WOMAN.
"By woman was Eden lost and man
curst. If you trust her, give up all
hope of heaven. Woman cannot love,
because she is too selfish; she may
have fancy, but il is fleeting; her
smiles are deceit, her VOWS are traced
in sand: she is thread of candor with
web Of wi:es; her charity is hypoc-
risy-complexion, heart, tongue and
all. OH how l hate you, We cold COM
position of art"
In this we see the evil effect of Mr..
Talmage's false ideas about Eve and
the apple. Mr.. Talmage, in this same
sermon, bids godspeed to the science
of geology. Does this mean that Mr..
Talnage accepts the teachings of ge-
ologists? If he does, how does he
reconcile the directly contrary ac-
counts of the introduction of death in
the world? Biologists teach that
death was in the world millions of
years before Eve lived. Mr.. Talmage
says Ewes disobedience brought death
in the world. Does Mr.. Talmage bg-
lieve both statements? If so, how
does he reconcile the two? If he be-
lieves only one, which one? All of
which is respectfully submitted to Mir.

CLEVELAND's SOCIAL LIFE
The ProspectiveiLady of the White House
Under the New Administration.

The ProspectivefLadyo of the White House
Under the New Administration.
From the Albany Argus.
Here it is regarded as settled that
Gov. Cleveland is the next president,
and already the gossips are busy with
conjectures as to who will be the lady
of the White House, says an Albany
special to the Philadelphia Times.
There is well defined belief among
his friends that there is young lady
in Western New York who will soon
be led to the altar by the president
elect. Others who have known him
long and well say that he will never
marry, and that this talk simply comes
from the fact that b. has paid this
young woman some slight at
tentions since he was elected gov
ernor. Early in life his hopes
and ambition tor wife were crushed
by the hand of keath, and his affection
for the lost one has kept him treading
the wine press of life alone. If the
reports that he is to marry are not
taue. then his own immediate family
will furnish the lady to do the social
honors of his administration.
1t is generally believed by those who
know him best that there will be less
festivities during his term of office
than there have been for many years
past. He has been a hard working
governor and will probably continue
his Industrious habits as president.
Bachelor as he is, the White House
will, however, have most creditable
mistress. There are four ladies in his
immediate family, either of whom can
well do the honors of the household.
His eldest sister in this country, Mrs.
W. E. Hoyt, CT Fayetteville, would
grace any position with credit. Sheis a
middle-aged lady, of pleasing address,
who has spent good deal of time at
the executive mansion here since her
brother has been governor. She has
made many friends here in the capital
of the state, and will doubtless do the
same IN Washington, where she will
probably go the 4th of next March.
| Miss r. E. Cleaeland is the maiden
sister. She still resides in the little
home cottage at Holland Patent, just
above Utica. A good public speaker,
a quick conversational1St, and gene
rally plain woman of intellectual
force, she would do her share in enter
tanning her brothers guests at the ma
tional capital. Mr.. Cleveland has a
sister who, for twenty years, has been
a missionary at Ceylon. She has two
charming young lady daughters, Mary
and Carrie Hastings, who hegovernoI
has for years been educating in this
country. He has given them every
advantage, and they have improved
them. They will no doubt be part
of their uncle's family circle at Wash
ington. as theY have been at times
here.
With Mrs. Hoyt, or any one of the
the three other ladies spoken of, thu
social end of the first democratic ad
ministration for a quarter of centu
~ will be well sustained, even should
the president-elect continue bache

No family in Texas or anywhere

water is impure. There are several
ways of purifying bad water. One is
by distillation, the surest method; an
other by fltering through sand or
charcoal; by boiling, which kills all
animal or vegetable organizations
suspended IN the fluid; and, again by
chemical substances. Of the latter,
alum is often used, three grains to a
quart. 1t causes impurities to settle
at the bottom of the vessel.

Ready-made houses, imported from
America, are selling as a novelty at
BueDos Ayers. The demand for habi-
tations at that price has been so great
that the provincial government could
not wait for the slow process of brick
and mortar, hence ready-made houses
had to be imported. The price charg-
ed for them is said to be so reasonable
that should they meet the expecta'
lions of the Argentine people it is an
ticipated that large trade in them
will be done. The only fear seems to
be that, owing to the heavy southwest
winds which attack LA Plata" the
ready-made houses may be blown
away.

Physicians recognize Iron as
the best restorative agent known
to the profession, and inquiry of
any leading chemical firm will
without doubt substantiate the
assertion that therearem oreprep-
arations of iron than of any other
substance used in medicine. This
shows conclusively that Iron is
acknowledged to be the most inn
portant factor in successful med
ical practice. 1t is, however, a
remarkable fact, that prior to the
discoveryof Browns Iron Bitters
no perfectly satisfactory iron COM
bination had ever been found.
Browns Iron Bitters does not
injure the teeth, causeheadache or
produce constipation az other
IRON medicines do. Browns Iron
Bitters cures Indigestion, bilious
ness, weakness, dyspepsia, mala-
ria, chills and fevers, tired feeling,
general debility, pain in the side,
back or limbs, headache and nell
ralgia for all these ailments
Iron is prescribed. daily.
Browns Iron Bitters, however,
does not cure in a minute. Like
all other thorough medicines, it
acts slowly. When taken by
men the first symptom of benefit
is renewed energy. The muscles
then become frmer, the digestion
improves, the bowels are active.
In women the effect is usually
more rapid and marked. The
eyes begin at once to brighten;
the skin clears up; healthy color
comes to the cheeks; nervous
ness disappears; functional de-
rangements become regular, and
if a nursing mother abundant
sustenance is supplied for the
child. Remember Browns Iron
Bitters is the ONLY iron medi-
cine that is not injurious.
