Homes for 0verworked Girls,

was making collars. At the end of tho
day she was told that her wages were
twenty-five cents, but that five cents
must be deducted for thread used
she had worked all day at a sewing
machine. She had the good sense to
tell the policeman that she met of her
mistake, and was sent home. She
knew nothing of the expenses of the
city and her funds were exhausted
What IS there before a woman who
works for company or for one who
counts his employees by the hundreds
IN crowded city? Especially if she is
SICK or worn out? She has nothing

and with the return of health. such os
she IS likely to possess, another weary
search for work, insufficient food and
clothing, and no time for rest.
There are many who are alone who
could, through the help of their phvsi-
0i .ASNSA0i CA4 plOy CI0 OE reliable
persons that 60 to the country every
summer, find homes where there wouId
be plenty to eat and to wear and a
sum laid up monthly to buy a little

can save nothing. She has a weary
existence. Only in the country there
is real life and living.
=. Take the average shop girl in an or
binary second or third class store. She
has no chance to sit down; eats her
lunch where she can, usually in a cold
place, and is thankful for anv place
where she can rest for few minutes
TO relieve her aching back and feet.
On the other hand there are manv
oover-warked and constantly tired-out
farmers wives, who work almost inces-

til late Saturday nighS and if there is
company for Sunday dinner-and there
Is rest perhaps for an hour or two in

Temperance in Politics.

We are not of those who think tha
the temperance question should not b.
dragged into politics." We thinl
that 1t IS properly, to large extent, :
| political question /; and that, with The
intense interest in the subject which
has been aroused, it can be "kept ou
OF politics" is not to be supposed. w,
are very ready to see it recognized a.
one OF the issues of the hour.
1t is well to keep our ideas clear anC
definite, hewever; and when we saw
that the temperance question is a
legitimate political issue, let us under
stand just what we mean by the TEN.
perance question" Political issues ore
always, of course, questions of law.
making A political question is as to
whether certain laws shall be made
IL IS not as TO whether certain CHS
toms are wise or good, or whether par
ents ought to teach their children Ger
tain things, or whether certain things
are or are not hurtful; all such
matters as these, important as thew
may be, do not come within the
sphere OfpOlitics. The most important
issues on which men differ and divide
are not political issues at all. Religion.
the matter Of all others on which men
differ most widely, can never. in a re-
public, be political issue. However
deeply men may feel upon it, however
Uenaclously they may hold to their
opinions, however jealous for them
and anxious to advance them they NAV
De, still they never think of making
laws for or against them. They are
not, ana IN our country cannot be,
political issue.
When we say, therefore, that tenn
perance IS to some ertent a real political
issue, 1t is equivalent to saving that il
Is IN part matter of law and in mart
not. SO far as it is a matter of person
al choice, or habit, or conviction. or
training it is no more a political oues-
ton than is religion. No one ever
dreams otmaking laws forbidding men
TO drink. 1t would be as imp0ssible
TO get men to take sides on the oues-
ton whether such a law should be
made, as on the question whether
law should be made forbiddinp men to
run INTO debt Clearly, in these re-
spects temperance Is not and cannot be
made a political issue. But in SO far
as the selling Of liquor is concerned.
lhe manner and extent of its sale, the
tax TO be paid thereon, the restrictions
placed upon 1t, and the wisdom of for
bidding 1t entirely, men will and do
take sides; and they are doing so now
10 an extent which interests every Cit
zen, and makes it seem quite possible
mat this may become one of the main
political questions of the hour.
This arousing of public interest in
he political aspect of the temperance
question is great point gained. When
IN issue has gained such prominence
hat party leaders recognize it as a fac
or in public opinion which NAV split
lp old parties and bring about a radi-
'al change in political affairs, it has
made its greatest step forward. Home
