A Sermon for Women.

For too long n time has woman
thought that the inside of the house is
the limit of her responsibility. II the
rooms are clean and in order, if car
pets are taken up in the proper season,
walls washed or busted, as the ma
terial decides, she has done her duty.
TO her husband is left the care of the
mechanical appliances of the house,
and usually he Is too busy or too care
less to give the matter personal atten-
ton, and takes the word of agent or
owner as to its sanitary condition.
A wife and mother should be in the
highest sense home-keeper, and this
means more than being the moral and
aesthetic force in the home. 1t means
that she shall care personally for the
entire surroundings, as well as for the
internal comforts; that she shall have
practical knowledge of the laws of
health and hygiene, for without this
she cannot be in the highest sense u
hOmc-keepcr.
More than four years ago DR. B. W.
Richardson, president of the British
Medical Association, said: II want 10

on whom fun sanitary light requires to
fall. Health in the home is health
everywhere; elsewhere it has no abid.

deed, by experience to the conclusion
that the whole future progress of the
sanitary movement rests for pcrma-
ncnt and executive support on the
women of the country. When. as 4

is 4 contagious disease, am, of
course, primarily impressed by the
type of the disease, and the age.
strength, and condition of the sick
person. From the observation made
on these points, form n Judgment of
the possible course and termination of
the disease, and, at one time, | should
have thought such observations suf-

partially sufficient. A glance at the
appointments and arrangement and
management Of the house is now ne
ccSsary to make perfect the Judgment.
BY this glance is detected what aid
the physician may expect in keeping
the sick in condition most favorable
for the escape from death; and by this
is also detected what are the chances
that the affection will be confined to
one sufferer, or distributed to many,
As Il rule, to which there are the rar
est exceptions, the character of the
judgment hcrcupOn is dependent on
the character of the presiding genius
of the home, or the woman who rules
over that small domain. The men of
the house come and go; know little of
the ins and outs of anything domestic;
are guided by what they are told, and
are practically of no assistance what
ever. The women are Convcrsant

Architecture in America.

The Montreal Witness pays this tri-
butte to the progress in architecture in
this country: "The United States is
soon going to take the lead of older
countries in the matter of modern
architecture, as 1t is natural that it
should. A rapidly developing coun-
try, constantly requiring new con-
veniences, offers the most promising
field for the ablest men OF the age,
and scarce week passes that the
American illustrated papers are not
adorned with pictures Of some new
public building, grand in extent Of
original design and of SURPRISING
beauty. The young Western cities
which have sprung up within the
esthetic era are fairy lands as compar-
cd with the new towns Of thirty years
ago."

Worth Her Weight in Gold.

Mrs. Jusus Castro, an aged Mexi-
can lady, now residing at American
Flag, in the Santa Catalina Mountain.
is perhaps the only woman who, liter
ally speaking, ever cost her husband
her weight in gold. 1t is said that in
the early gold-digging days of Cali
fornia, when about the age of seven
teen, 4 patcrnal uncle but few years
her senior returned with his compan-
ions gold-laden from the FL Dorado
of tho West and became desperately
enamored of her. He sought her
hand in marriage and was accepted,
but the Church refused, because of
the near relationship existing between
them, to solemnize the marriage.
Persuasion being in vain he tried
the power of gold to win the Church
his way, aud succeeded only by the
payment of her weight in gold. She
at that time weighed III pounds, and
against her in the scales the glittering
dust was shovelled. Her afliancod hus-
band still had sufficient of this world s
goods to provide a comfortable home,
and they were married. Tucson Star.

SnoP signs were introduced into
England from France in the reign cf
Edward ILL.,, and they became so gen.
eral that nearly every shop-kecper in
London had one displayed outside his
shop. Great ingenuity was shown in
the invention of signs calculated TO
prove most attractive to the passer
by, and large sums of money were cx-
pended in this species Of advertising.
These signs were not affixed to the
houses, but were placed on posts, or
thereon on hinges, at the edge of the
footpath. So largely did these in
crease that they absolutely obstruct-
ed the free circulation of air, and are
supposed to be among the causes of

The increase of the criminal class
in England has by no means kept pace
with that OF the general population.
In the fifteen years from 1869 to 1874
the population of England and Wales
was augmented by nearly 100000
souls, but the prison population had
actually fallen BY more than 1900. If
England had gone on producing Grim
inals at the .ate at which she was
turning them out in 1869, she would
have had prison population in 1884
of something like lI,O0O, instead of
one below 10000.

The 80 - nonvantlen.


Charleston News ana Ueufier.
| 1t Is proposed to hold a meeting in
Columbia Of all persons who are In
favor Of free trade, or Of an early and
thorough revision Of the tariff.
Col. Dargan has very properly taken
the initiative, and there are
many good reasons why the meeting
should be well attended.
South Carolina is tradition a free
trade or low-tariff State, but the low
tariff sentiment In South Carolina to-
day is not based, we think, upon tradi-
tion alone. 1t has its foundation in the
inquiries and Investigations Of the
younger men of the State during the
last eight or ten years. There has been
a steady demand for economic litera-
ture, and the number of well-informed
revenue reformers is steadily increas-
ing.
1t is but natural that the study of
economies should lead to differences of
opinion, and it is not unlikely that
there are in South Carolina to-day
many who believe that the protective
system is beneficial and even neces-
sary. But State is stronger, and in
better condition. when the opinions
held and enforced are the result Of
individual study and inquiry than
when particular dogma is accepted,
without question, because it is hoary
with age or comes from those who are
in authority.
The low tariff party have nothing to
fear from discussion. Their position
is impregnable, and it must not be for
gotten that, at this time, the manufac-
turers themselves-the very persons
who are supposed to be most benefited
by protection-are demanding the
revision of the tariff, in order that pro-
duction may be cheapened and the
market for American manufactures be
enlarged.
1t is to be hoped then that the meet
ing proposed to be held at Columbia at
the nd of the month will be successful,
so that South Carolina shall be properly
represented at the National Conference
in Chicago.

that any man who styled him that,
would do so at the peril Of the extreme

A Colony of Women.

From the Denver Trlbune-Repubiican
Mrs. Olive Wright, of Denver,
says that there is to be a woman colo
ny in Colorado, end talks in this way
about it to reporter Of the Tribune
Republican: "ln the first place there
are great many Eastern women who
have capital to invest, and who desire
to put it into something which will
benefit women. They can't do any.
thing like that in Eastern towns, be-
cause prejudice is against it. Getting
out here will grant them room and
liberty; they can do what they like,
and l think they would like to do
considerable. l have the authority of
several gifted and wealthy women in
Boston and New York on this ques-
ton. know whereof Ispeak."
"Where do you propose locating this
colony?"
"In the beautiful, smiling valley of
the San Luis. That is where l want
to pitch a tent, the work in which
shall rebound to the honor and glory
of women. Rich women will build up
the colony, and poor women will come
here and establish industries by which
to support themselves. They will
likely engage in bee culture, silk cul-
ture, the raising Of small fruits, the
raising of domestic animals, the man
ufacturing OF preserves and jellies, and
various other similar industries"
Somebody asked her the other day
if men were to be excluded from the
women's colony in the San Luis val
ley. She replied that that was the
queerest question ever put to her; said
she didn't think barbed wire fences
would have any effect in keeping men
out of that colony and she had no idea
of keeping dozen sturdy AmaZons on
watch, as the fair ladies did in "The
Princess" 1t is understood there will
be plenty of men on hand in the i'm
mediate vicinity of the sunny San
Luis about the time the famous colony
is started.
This rather knocks the poetry out of
the scheme. but its practical advan-
tages may thus be enhanced, Men
won't have any glory down there any
way; they will have to resign them
selves to being overshadowed from the
beginning. They will do nicely to fill
in the background, and may sometimes
be entrusted with the duties Of under
stewards. AS for figuring extensively,
their sex is against them, and they will
be kept down.
