The admission of Dakota is still be-
ing discussed in the National Capital
but no one suppOses that it will come
in on its own merits free from political
bias. 1t has more population than
some of the States now in the Union
and at the rate it is filling up will soon
lead many of them, but it will not come
in until Montana and possibly Wash
ington are admitted also, as a political
balance. Dakota is certain to rise in
decade or two to a rising position in

FUN AT HOME.

There is nothing like it to be found
no, not if you search the world
through. l want ever possible amuse-
ment to keep the boys at home eve
nings. Never mind if they do make a
noise around, with their whistIing
and hurrahing. We would stand
agast if we could have vision of the
young man gone TO destruction for
the very reason that having cold,
disagreeable, dull, stiff firesides at
home, they sought amusement else
where. Don't let them wander beyond
the reach of mothers influence, vet
awhile.
The time will come, before you
think, when you would give the
world to have your house tumbled by
the dear hands of those very boys !;
when your heart shall long for their
noisy steps in the hall, and their rud-
dy cheeks laid up to yours when you
would rather have their jolly whistle
than the music of all the operas when
yon would gladly see dirty carpets
aye, live without carpet at all-but to
have their bright strong forms beside
you once more.
Then play with and pet them. Praise
Johnnie's drawing, Betty's music, and
baby's first attempt at writing his
name. Encourage Tom to chop off his
stick of wood, and Dick to persevere
in making his hen-coop. If one shows
a talent for figures, tell him he is
your famous mathematician and if
another loves geography, tell him he
will be sure to make great traveller
or foreign minister.
Become interested in their pets be
they rabbits, pigeons or dogs. Let
them help you in home decoration !;
send them to gather MOSES, grasses,
and bright autumn leaves, to decor
ate their room when the snow is all
over the earth, and you will keep
yourself young and fresh by entering
into thier joys, and keep those joys
innocent by your knowledg of them.

WOMAN'S FIELD OF USE
FULN ESS.

A few years ago the admission of a
woman to practice at the Bar of the
Supreme Court of this State would
have been regarded a very notable
event, but now the gradual invasion of
the sex into whatever employment any
member of it chooses to select is
looked upon as mere m after of detail.
1t does not follow from this that the
percentage of woman in callings for
which men are better adapted will
ever be larger, but simply that there
shall be no Instructions placed in the
way of the exercise for work, where
it exists, on account of sex.
1t is not in the professions that
woman are making their principal adj
vances in elf-support and usefulness
but in other callings. The human tide
which goes to its business In the morn
ing is plentifully interspersed with
women in these days. They are sales
women, typewriters, typesetters, tel
egraph operators, bookkeepers, cash
iers, etc. The percentage of female
teachers is larger than ever before, and
more women are in business for them
selves, A quarter of century ago
the CRATER proportion of these would
have been not wage earners, but de-
pendent on the labors of others. The
world is much richer under present
conditions than it was, and there are
just as many good wives and mothers.
The tendency now is for woman who
is not exclusively occupied in the
wife and mother business to engage
in some useful occupation, pending
the wedding day, or not, as the case
may be. 1t is to be regretted that the
failings OF the other sex so often COM
pei her after that event to support
her family, but in that case her OPP
portunities are better than formerly.

INTERESTING TO WOOL
GROWERS.

The importations of manufactures |
of wool into the United States for
the fiscal year ending June 80, 1885,
were valued at $35, 776, 500, and not
only displaced that amount of our
domestic wooden manufactures, but |
also deprived our wool growers of a
market for at least 100, 100000 lbs
of fleeces. 1t has been estimated
that the amount of wool contained in
the finished wool fabrics imported in
to the United States in 1885 was not
less than 100000 pounds. The
amount of raw wool of all kinds i'm
ported in the same period was but
70,000,000 pounds, of which 6,000,-
600 were coarse carpet stock, which
our wool growers do not care to pro-
duce, leaving only IA, OOO,O 600 pounds
of foreign clothing and combing
woods imported during the year.
Hence the amount of wool imported
in the form of finished fabrics was
seven times as great as the amount
imported in raw state. If the full
measure of compensating duties were
granted upon worsted fabrics, we
have the authority of President Will
lam Whitman of the National asso-
citation Of wool manufacturers for
saying that within five years and
possibly within three years, from the
passage of so wise and just law,
we would add 100000 capital to
the permanent investment in the
wooden manufacture we would fur
nish additional direct employment
for not less than 10000 persons ex-
elusive of the large number Indirect
ly employed; we would add to the
national wealth productive indus
try amounting to S30,000,000 annu-
ally, and we would provide market
for the fleeces Of 100000 sheep"
The wool growers are consequent
Iy far more interested in correcting
errors in the worsted tariff than in
striving to secure an advance of the
duties npon wool. A leading wool
grower, Mr.. w. G.. Markham has
said: "Whatever manufactured WOO
is imported is more detrimental to
the wool grower than the same
amount imported in the raw state
for the operatives here engaged il
manufacturing az the same time con
sumers, and increasing the demand
for wool" The maintenance of s
profitable wool growing interest IL
the United States depends who'll.
upon the success of our nanufactur
ing industries. Boston Advertiser.
