The knights of Labor owe SO much of their
present strength TO the puplic favor they have
gained by practical good sense In their meth
DDS that some of the series of demands which
they are pressing upon the attention of Con-
gress will cause a surprise. Perhaps the worst
OF the lot Is the call for the passage of national
usury law and the establishment of a national
loan office. In the first place, the constitution
Of the United States stands in the way OF such
q performance. The states have the exclusive
right to determine the rate OF interest which
shall be lawful within their own borders. In
the second place, the business OF government
pawnbroking il carried on now only in parts OF
the world where the mass of the people are
desperately poor and their social condition
capable of little change. The paterna1 charac-
ter OF the government is at once a cause and a
symbol of the paupersm of the people, and
there Is not a reading man among the Knights OF
Labor who does not know this
On the other hand, the knights are doing
public service by directing the attention of
Congress afresh. and in a forcible manner, to
the way in which the public lands have been
stolen from their legitimate owners and passed
into the possession of monopolists. There Is no
reason why the settler in good faith should be
turned away in his quest for a homestead in
order that some great railway corporation or
land company should be unduIy enriched nor
Is there justice in taxing the poor In dispropor-
ton TO the wealthy. In their requirement that
Congress shall repair 10 the fullest possible ex-
tent the damage 1t has done in this field, and
cease doing any more OF like sort, every
honest citizen will approve the stand taken by
the Knights. II is very unfortunate that so
wise and equitable demands as these should be
yoked in the manifesto with the crude
and impracticabie propositions first alluded to.
The public will doubtless, however make its
own distinctions, and not condemn the whole
on account of the badness of u part

Girls and Exercise.

1t has been suggested that the effect of
the athletic exercises now common among
girls. if these are really beneficial, should
have begun to appear in the physique of
women of the present day, and to show it
self in greater fitness for the duties of ma
ternity. Medical men in practice might. no
doubt. throw some light upon this question.
The London Lancet still maintains its be-
lief in the generally beneficial effect of all
such means of educating muscular power.
if they be used in moderation. Besides
their intrinsic property of increas-
ing yigor and agility, they necessitate
a greater freedom from the rigid restraints
of dress which we're used twenty years ago.
They imply. moreover. liberal allowance
of fresh air, and by encouraging vital
changes throughout the body, combat that
dislike of food which is so common among
young girls of listless habits. Thus in vari-
Gus ways their tendency is to strengthen
and stimulate the whole system. There
can. we think, be but little doubt that the
woman who has grown up under this whole
some training is the filter in consequence to
bear the lot of her sex in married life. Her
nerve will be stronger. her muscle power
greater. and each natural function proper
tiOnately more active.

WEAKLY WOMEN.
The Kind That il Not a Matrimonial
Prize.

Hundreds of thousands of women are
wearing themselves out in cities sewing for
a beggarly pittance, that being the only EN-
ployment of which they are capable, while
comfort and responsibility are within their
reach if they had spirit. independence and
gumption enough to conduct household on
what self reliant. sober and industrious
man is able to earn, says the Pittsburg
Dispatch. Many thousand men know from
bitter experience that 81. 900 year is not a
sufficient sum to support family with the
present average American woman at the
helm, and yet the average earnings of
skilled mechanics in the United States do
not reach $500 year, so that sober second
thought causes every prudent young man of
limited income either to marry a woman
who is his inferior mentally, but a jewel in
the kitchen, or defer marriage until he has
amaSsed a competence or can marry
a fortune. If he be of an emotional
nature he may throw aside prudential con-
siderations and wed pretty face, smat-
tering of music. ETC.. and pretty foot, and

Gently Closing Doors.

Once called with friend upon sick
person whose nerves had become so pain
fully acute through suffering that noise
tortured her. A screen door opened from
her room into the hall, and as callers or
members of the family passed in or out. a
quick. sharp slam of this door followed
close on their egress or ingress. The tor
ture of the noise sent spasm OF pain
across the sick woman's face but
she bore it uncomplainingly. think
ing it more endurable than flies
and mosquitoes, and no one had
noticed or thought to lessen this annoyance
until my friends kind heart and quick eye
prompted and planned remedy. She
called for tacks and cotton batting. and
making firm little cushions of the batting,
she tackled them up and down the casing
where the door would strike. and the sharp
slam-bang was instantly softened as the
door swung to. The grateful language and
glance of the sick woman made me wish
that L, too. had eyes that could see ways to
be helpful toward others.

THE KIND WANTED.

The girls that are wanted are good girls
Good from the heart TO the lips;
Pure as the lily is white and pure,
From its heart to its sweet leaf tips.
The girls that are wanted are home girls
Girls that are mothers right hand.
That fathers and brothers can trust to,
And the little ones understand.
Girls that are fair on the hearthstone,
And pleasant when nobody sees;
Kind and sweet 10 their own folk,
Re ady and anxious to please.
The girls that are wanted are wise girls
That know what TO do and to say;
That drive with smile or d soft word
The wrath of the household away.
The girls that are wanted are girls OF sense
When fashion can never deceive;
Who can follow whatever is pretty,
And dare what is silly, to leave.
The girls that are wanted are careful girls,
Who count what thing will cost;
Who use with a prudent. generous hand,
But see that nothing is lost.
The girls that are wanted are girls witt
hearts:
They are wanted for mothers and wives;
Wanted to cradle in loving arms
The strongest and frailest of lives.
The clever, the witt the brilliant girl,
They are very few understand;
But o. for the wise. loving. home girls
There a constant aud steady demand.

Fled Miles Not to See Her.

Russia's choice for king of Bulgaria.

boldness to marry the daughter of Count
Adlerberg. She had for years been sort
of ''Katisha," from whom the objects of
her fancy fed in CONSERVATION, and it was
considered happy dispatch" when the
young savage from the Caucasus agreed,
in consideration of round sum of ready
cash. to make her his wife and not seek to
be divorced from her for year. The bar
gain was conSummated, but the year had
not long been elapsed when the couple sep
arated forever. Now he has squandered all
the marriage portion-more properly bride
and all the $3.50. 900 for which he fold his
alleged princeshIp, and is now heels over
head in debt. so that he would naturally
like to get job at reigning over a country
which he could squeeze tor his own gain.
Princes in Mingrelia. by the way. come
very cheap. There are whole tribes com
posed of nothing but princes and princesses.

phrases at her fingers ends. 81 keep
house." she said. land l also belong to
half a dozen charitable associations for
helping women. and l assure you the
results of my observations in both
spheres fill me with amaZement. On the one
hand l am called upon to devise means to
aid whole armies of women why are pain
fully destitute. Our new ideas of charity
discourages giving money, and We must de-
wise ways and means to make them self
supporting, to help them TO some kind of
prosperity. In the various avenues of
labor open to them they average from SIS
TO 50. so week. When they are economi-
cal they manage to live; the moment they
get sick and lose place they are horribly
destitute, and then the charitable societies
have to help them to their feet again. All
this while l am constantly worried about
servants. / give them salaries ranging from
So to Sc week. They have 10 heavy
labors to perform, the work is all light,
clean and healthy. They have comfort
able rooms and luxurious food and
no expense except for clothes, which. at
least in the house. insist shall be SIMPLE.
and l furnish the aprons and caps. treat
them with civility. they have their regular
days and evenings out, and all winter they
have bright. warm kitchen in which to re-
ceiye their friends. In spite of the contrast
of all this with the cold. mean little apart
ments that working-women live in, their
walks to and from their work in all kinds of
weather, and their meagre insufficient food,
l can scarcely find servant when l want
one. They come in answer to my advertise
ment and in lofty, hectoring tone make all
manner Of stipulations before condeScending
to accept the place. Now why is it that
women will choose the hard life in prefer
ence to the easy one. Can it be possible that
women prefer precarious existence and a
very certain resort to charity at some time
to the vastly superior position of servant
maid simply because she objects to saying
yes and no ma'am, to wearing cap and
preserving respectful demeanor? 1t is
