1907, when he was sixty-three years old.
 John Marshall was secretary of state in John Adams cabinet, and when Chief Justice Ellsworth resigned, and Jay refused to again take the position, President Adams appointed Marshall. Marshall was at this time forty five years old. He was tall, meagre, and emaciated, and one authority says that his joints were SO loosely connected as to make him appear disqualified for any exertion of the body. He was 8 shambling, awkward man, careless of his dress, as a description of the time states, as far removed from the graces of Lord Chesterfield as any other man on earth. His head and face were small in proportion to his height, and he looked older than he was.
 Other descriptions tell somewhat different story, but none pronounce Marshall handsome. Judge Story says that he was dignified, though plain, and that his dress was very simple, but very neat. He says that he had small, black, twinkling eyes, a low forehead, but harmonious features. He was good laugher and was full of humor. Daniel Webster said, while he was member of congress, that he had never seen man of whose intel- lect he had higher opinion than of that of Judge Marshall.
 As for Marsh&lrs physical abilities, his form, though it may have been

became drowsy, fell asleep, and, under successive inhalations of the purified gas, expired. It was evident that, in breathing, the oxygen had undergone some change unknown to the chemist. What the change is can only be con- jectured, though Dr. Richardson has found that if the exhausted oxygen be electrically charged it is revitalized, and will again support life.
 BURNING HE DEAD.-Cremation was proposed in Italy in 1866, experi- mented upon in 1872, illustrated at Vienna in 1875, and advocated by Sir Henry Thompson a desirable sub stitute for burial in 1874. One ere mating at Breslau and one at Dresden took place in 1874; and two at Milan in 1876. It was shown in 1879 that the human body can be entirely con- sumed, without smoke or effiuvia, in about an hour. In the ten years end ing with 1886 there were 461 crema- ti0ns at Milan; and at Gotha 473 bodies were burned between January l, 1879 and October 3l, 1887. There are now cremation societies in Den- mark, Belgium, Switzerland, Holland, Sweden, Norway, France, England, and various parts of the United States. Cremation is especially rec commended where death has occurred from small pox, scarlet fever, or diph- theria.

sphere, no man can consistently say it is not also
her sphere to remove any and all obstacles that
arise in the way of her so doing, provided they who
should do it, refuse to. Inasmuch as this
monster evil, intemperance the great destroyer of
all peace and happiness, has been by law let free
in our country, to seek whom it may devour and
to do its work of devastation and ruin, by the law
it must 90 out Who will drive it out; these men?
These men made the laws which let it in, they will
hardly be the ones to make the laws to drive it out
They say woman's sphere is the ''home circle; -
then they make the home circle for thousands and
tens of thousands of women place of such sorrow
and poverty and sin and woe that it beggars des-
cription, and say she cannot help herself, because
it would be outside her circle, and if any of her
more fortunate sisters strive to make better state
of affairs, they are out of their sphere. Isn't this
kind of reasoning most senseless and unsound? yet
we hear it almost every day. But in the sunset of
this nineteenth century party has arisen in its
manhood and power that recognizes the injustice
done the women of our land that recognizes the
fact that our Iaw-abdng, peace-lovng mother
should have the right to make the laws by which
herself and her children are governed as well as
has her party-loving, law-breaking husband. A
party that recognizes that women's sphere should
embrace politics or anything else that tends to the
uplifting of the race and the welfare of her
posterity. To this party do broken-hearted
women look for succor, and through this party will
come the woman's liberty. God speed the day

The Brave Engineers.

TO the locomotive engineer there is no mute OBJ
ject so dear to his heart as his engine, in whose
cab he is accustomed to sit, the constant friend
and companion of each trip out upon the road,
whose whistle is to his as the voice of trusted
and cherished associate, and he is ever 10th to see
any other hand than his own upon its lever.
From the earliest days of railroading the engin-
eer has held proprietary interest (by courtesy
in the engine he speeds along the track. "My
girl he will often call it, or g she is next to my
wife and babies" they are frequently heard to say.
But, now, like all the pleasant little romanees and
bits of tender sentiment in real life, this custom
is likely to be reegated to the past-wiped out by
the mighty tide of progress Already one or
more of the great railroads are said to have issued
orders e that hereafter all engines must be sent
out in turn" and the engineer will be obliged to
take whichever falls to his lot.
No longer will his trips be made in company
with his dear friend and companion in danger, for
whom he holds genuine pride and affection, but
only locomotive, a huge, irresponsible machine,
belonging to the company. Amid the rush and
roar of business interests in this progressive age,
there seems little room for romantic sentiments Of
any description, little time for pleasant adorn-
ments of the inner life, the cultivation of heart and
imagination, which often brighten the most COM
monplace existence and render life better worth
the care and vexation Of living.

west Of u.s. in the northeast great black cloud
came up and we were entertained with the most
vivid and varied lightning for an hour or more.
The cloud then drew near and we were treated to
a heavy shower which soon passed on to the south,
leaving clear, star-lit sky. An hour or two wore
on and the moon came up from beyond the plain,
looking as though she had not recovered from the
eclipse of a few nights previous part of one side
being invisible. 1t must have been somewhat like
seeing the moon rise on the ocean, only lacking
the shining pathway. We should have missed that

The Home.

Two people are set apart in every home to make
q new world and direct the issues of it, Upon
what does the character and influence of these
homes depend? Is it only to make world for
their own selfish enjoyments? Does not the fact
of such an institution old as the known history of
the human race, point to specific duties in it?
Does not the act of laying the foundation for this
possible heaven upon earth involve a responsibility
to all that come into it? How many homes fulfill
the trust? How many may be called manufacto-
res of men and women in the highest sense of
nurture? How many in which everything else is
made secondary to this primal object? Is it not
the rule that children are constantly sacrificed and
postponed to the other interests of life TO the
pleasure and convenience of the parents, or even
TO their own rational pursuits of sef-culture? Is
it not the prevalent feeling that children are mere
debtors to their parents, instead OF being regarded
as creditors to whom are due all that the parents
are, and all that they can command? And before
the age when children make demands that have to
be met, and which at any age are set too much
aside, is not the feeling very general that there is
time enough, and if they are only kept bodily
comfortable and passably happy, they can be put
off.
That the home can do everything that is desir-
able for young children, if the right spirit pervades
it, who can doubt who believes in God, and real
ICES that He has left it for parents to do? He
does not interfere even when the saddest possible
consequences ensue from parental neglect. But,
as do not believe any evil is infinite | would not
be supposed to forget that there is selfrecupera-
tive power in spirit, which will save all humanity
at last for the immortal life that is its manifest
destiny. 1t is only this world that is virtually i'll
the hands of the human race, and we know that
neglect of its duties often makes it heritage OF
woe to man, no matter whether the neglect is vol
untary or the fruit ofgnorauce. Mary Mann, In
the kindergarten.

Handicapped.

EDITOR WoMANs CHRONICLE: In recent
preachers meeting a brother desired delay
in regard to proposed action on a temperance
motion because convention of Prohibitionists
was about to be held in the place, whose action
might handicap him in temperance matters Such
remarks frequently heard from Christian temper
ance men give rise to a few suggestions. l. Is
not the temperance question political as well as
moral? That it is, no well-informed person Of to-
day will deny. As moral question we may
preach and sing and pray in its behalf but when
we have done all this, no advanced temperance
man will for moment claim that all Of duty is
done. The question now before the country is
not shall we drink or let it alone but shall we
license or prohibit; and these are political ques-
tons, demanding political agitation and action;
and how any man can be handicapped by the
formation of Prohibition party is past all inteli
gent comprehension. The church and ministry
are supposed to be on the side of prohibition, and
therefore the action Of all political parties is just
the thing they need to watch in order that they
may know what to do. 1t is this persistent OBJ
lvlousness of party attitude and action that
handicaps temperance workers. Afraid of politics?
Why, that is just what the saloonsts most desire.
They know that if the church comes to understand
this thing and unites against them their doom is
sealed. An out-and-out Prohibition party is what
they hate and fear. 2. Is there more than one
such party before the country? This is question
for us to consider, and not to dismiss with impa-
tience. That there may be parties favorable to
temperance is not the question. Is there party
unequivocally, out-and-out for prohibition? that
is the question. This studied, and the facts
learned, we know where we belong, and can only
be handicapped by remaining with the saloon or
quas-temperance parties. That there is but one
out-and-out Prohibition party is as plain as that
two and two make four. All other parties save
the Prohibition party are avowedly against us, or
favor high license or have some other prominent
issue that reegates this to the rear. There is one
party, and one only, that dares to come before
the people announcing as its supreme purpose,
"The saloon must 60" Which, then, shall the
consistent Prohibitionist encourage? Which shall
the Christian espouse? 3. Is not this really the
supreme issue before the nation? Granting that
questions of tariff reform, protection, civil service,
disposition Of public lands, capital and labor, i'm
