Sir Herbert Oakeley, in a recent address
to the Edinburgh Association for Uuiver-
sity Education of Women, said, relative to
women's sphere and work in music: an
depreciation, rather than composition,
should be your aim. Anything remark
able in the way Of creative art has not en-
anated from lady-composers. Your work
is rather to expound." tits, indeed, VERY
bold man who, in this age Of surprises,
thus fixes the limitations of women's pow
ers, If George Eliot could create 'Mid-
dlemarch" and Mrs. Browning display the
finest imaginative quality, there seems
more reason, in view Of the comparatively
scant educational opportunities heretofore
accorded women, to believe that women
may become conspicuous as composers than
to deny the possibility or probability.

Mortality on the Panama Canal.

An engineer who had been employed
on the Panama canal said to New York
Times representatives.: There are 40, 600
men employed on the canal, distributed
all the way from Colon or Aspinwall to
Panama. The distance by rail is not
over thirty miles between these two
points. I was machinist and engineer
and made, by working overtime, $3.50
per month. but l could not stand the
climate. The wages for skilled workmen
is SIS. so per day and for laborers So to
81 per day. The latter arc recruited
among the natives and runaway sailors,
who will leave SIS u month and take
chances of sickness and death for the So

tally? Well, that is frighttul. Hun
dreds die monthly, and the hospitals are
constantly filled with the sick. 1t is said
that nine out of ten patients who arc
sent to these hospitals die there. If the
dead man has money or influence, he is
put into a pine box and buried; other
wise his body is dumped into a pit and
quicklime thrown over him. There is an
old saying that every tie of the Panama
railroad represents tombstone for some

FARM, GARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD.
Winterlng Young Pigs.

Pigs born later than the first of Octo-
Der will need good care and skillful man
agement to keep them in thrifty, grow
ing condition through winter. This is
particularly the case if you keep them in
large numbers, and it is a good plan to
sell all you can before winter sets IN.
People who keep only two or three pigs
to eat up the slops from the house can
handle their late pigs to better advan-
tage than the large farmer or breeder.
Such young pigs need milk, greasy
water, or broth and bread, or cooked
potatoes, with corn meal pudding; these
are more likely to be liberally furnished
from the kitchen when you have only
two pet pigs than when you have two
score or two hundred.
Whatever method of feeding is
adopted, let it be liberal. Let them have
all the good feed they will eat-no more,
no less. Let them have good, dry, com
Portable quarters to sleep in, and disturb
them as little as possible. Pigs are in
part alternating animals. The more
they sleep the better for them and their
owner. We do not want to fatten pigs
in winter. We simply want to keep
them in healthy, growing condition, and
the fatter they are when winter sets in,
the easier it will be to carry them through
the winter.
Pigs we'll wintered are in good condi-
tion to thrive we'll on grass and clover
next summer. They will do far better
on pasture alone than young spring pigs.
We are not now advocating having young
pigs come in the autumn, but if you have
them and cannot sell them. or do not
wish to, then take the best of care OF
them, and feed literally. The most
profitable pork we have ever made, was
from young pigs which had been we'll
cared for through the previous winter,
and the next summer fatteued on clover
pasture.-John Harris, in american Agri-
csllturist.

minutes the address Of President Richard
son OF the exposition to the President was In
the hands Of Commissioners General More
head. 1t recited the history Of the undertak-
ing, spoke of it's benefits, and concluded: ~
now present to you this exposition ready as
our best efforts with the brief period of time
at our command have been able to make it,
and for the degree of success attained we ap-
peal to generous judgment"
When Mr.. Morehead had read the address
President Arthur read in clear voice the
following reply:
"In the name of the people of the republic
I congratulate tine citizens Of the Southwest
on their advancing prosperity as manifested
in the great International exposition now
about to open. The interest of the nation
in that section Of our commonwealth has
found expression in many ways, and no
ts in n appropriations for the the %proySs mp tSs
national loan to promote the pres
ent exposition. Situated as it Is, at the gate
way Of the trade between the United 8 ates
and Central and South America, it will al
tract the attention of the people Of the neigh
boring nations Of the American system, and
they will learn the Importance Of availing
themselves Of our products as we will OF
theirs, and thus not only good feeling but
profitable intercourse between the United
America will be promoted.
"The people also Of our own country, thus
brought closer together, will find in this ex-
position of competitive industrie, motives for
strengthening the bonds Of brotherhood. Rail-
roads, telegraph lines and submarine cables
have drawn much nearer the nations Of the
earth, and an assembly like this Of the repre-
sentatives Of different nations is promotive
Of good will and peace, while it advances the
material welfare Of all. The United
States extend to those from foreign coun-
tries who visit us on this occasion cordial
welcome.
"And now, at the Executive mansion in
Washington. in the presence Of the assembled
representatives Of the friendly nations Of the
world, of the president of the Senate, Of the
Speaker of the House Of Representatives,
OF the chief justice and associate justices
Of the supreme court, Of q committee

the members Of my cabinet. I
again, and in their name, congratulate the
promoters of the exposition upon the auspi-
cious inauguration of an enterprise which
promises such far-reaching results. With
my best wishes for tho fu1flment Of all its
great purposes. now declare that the
Worlds Industrial and Cotton Centennial

The address was Immediately telegraphed
to New Orleans. Then Senator Logan read
an address rendering the congratulations of
Congress to the exposition.
This address was telegraphed to New Or

was sent from the president and director-gen-

CONGRESSMEN INJURED.
Two Carloads Of House Member
Upset by q Runaway Car.


An accident which resulted in injurie1 to
several Congressman is described in the fol-
lowing dispatch from Washington:
It began to snow here before noon, and
this afternoon by 1 O'Clock, when members
uegan to leave the House, the Pennsylvania
Capitol Hill upon the south side Of the
sapitol had become very slippery. Tie
grade here is very steep and is nearly -n
eighth of a mile in length. The tram
way company was unprepared for the storm
lnd as all Of their horses were smooth .shod
tney gave orders to have the horses un' ooked
from the cars, so as to let the cars slide down,
locked by single brake upon the front OF
each car It was very safe proceeding fol
the horses, but, as it proved, the risk Was
transferred to the passengers.
Just before o'clock single car, contain
M number Of members, slid down safely.
1t had to wait at the foot Of the hill, how
aver, as there was double car stuck upon
the turn just beyond Down followed q
double car packed with members. 1t slid
down at quite rapid rate, but the brake
held it very well, notwithstanding the
it was about three.quarters Of the way down
a third car, double one, and crowded, left
.he top of the hill. The brake slipped before
it had gone but few feet, and it came down
like flash of light and crashed right upon
the second car and droveit with tremendous
force upon the single car. Two OF the
cars were upset aid badly smashed. Mr..
McAdoo, Of New Jersey, had his head driven
through car window, and had his face cut
open by glass. One of his fingers was broken.
He was badly shaken up beside and had to
be carried home. Mr.: Hempe, of South Caro-
lima, was knocked senseless. Although no bones
were broken he sustained nervous shock.
Mr.. Leedon, the sergeant-at-arms Of tn
House, had one finger cut off, an artery
opened and his knee badly bruised. Mr.aCobb,
Of Indiana, received q very severe shock,
but had recovered this evening, al
