POVERTY: ITS CAUSE AND CURE.

The millionaire senator from California, being
interviewed on the subject of poverty, gives three
causes, which being abolished, beggars will become
an extinct race and begging a lost art.
|. Ignorance of how to save money.
2. The sale and use of liquor.
3. A lack of manual training.
So heartily do we agree with him in the last
which we make first, that we hereby beseech the
powers that be in our public schools to give us
less Latin and higher mathematics and more man
nal training, less discipline for the mind and more
for the hands, less theory and more practice. less
" what" and more how, less of that which is
of no practical value to nine-tenths OF the pupils
after they leave school and more of the everyday
business of life.
OF his second premise he says, GAS long as
there are ten times as many saloons in this coun-
try as there are of both schools and churches and
they are supported mainly by the very poor, the
sources of misery are pretty obvious.
Shall we in Arkansas suffer in our midst with
out mighty protest, the presence of this prolific
source of crime, misery, poverty and beggary!
Shall we in this fair Eden of the Lord, where pur
pie hills reflect the wealth below, smiling valleys
invite the herds from thousand hills, and from
vast forests the murmurng pines and the hem'
locks F." but await the woodman's ak and saw to

storm that has recently visited their own vicinity
has probably gratifed their curiosity, and they
cease to wonder how strong men should lose their
way and yield UP their lives before the terrible
snow laden hurricanes of the northwestern praries.
The storm in and about New York city is described
as beyond anything of the kind ever witnessed be-
fore by the oldest inhabitants of that section.
The wind blew with savage fury and so laden with
snow that it became impossible to face it, and
public travel was greatly impeded by the for

Our Letter.
GOOD WISHES FROM ST. LOUIS.

EDITOR WoMAN's CHRONICLE: Dear Friend >
Your favor to Mr.. w received; also copy of
WoMAN's CHRONICLE, for both of which we write
in thanks. Please find enclosed subscription for
one year, and accept our earnest wishes for the
success of your venture upon the stormy sea OF
journalism. May it live long and prosper. "
Mr.. W proposed answering your letter, but
put on my fighting clothes and proclaimed my wo-
mans right Gas mother in IsraeD to be better
qualified to advise in the matter of nursing an in
FAINT during its first two years than man who has
had no experience. And then, you know, advice
is so cheap-t doesn't cost even one dollar year
so | fear you are in receipt of more advice than
dollars. 1t is indeed rather serious matter to
nurse an infant through the teething season, and
requires all the patient virtues possessed of Job,
together with dose or two of Mrs. Winslow's
soothing syrup, pure atmosphere, healthy, di-
gestable diet, courage and tact. All these | be-
ieve are at your command, and combined with
your womanly instincts ought surely to make a
success of launching your little nursing out into
the world of critics.
That the years may bring to yourself and your
journal health and prosperity is the earnest prayer
of Your friend, -
Mrs. W.
MARCUS AVE, ST. LOUIS MO-, March II, 1888.
We are truly grateful for the sensible, womanly
advice contained in the above letter. We consider
it worth much more than one dollar year, and
coming as it did, accompanied by the very desir-
able dollar, is doubly welcome. -EDToR

A COSMOPOLITAN WOMAN.

She went round and asked subscription
For the heather black Egyptians
And the Terra del Fuegians,
She did,
For the tribe round Athabasca,
And the men of Madagascar,
And the poor souls of Alaska,
So she did,
She longed, she said, to buy
Jelly cake, and jam, and pie
For the Anthropohagi,
So she did,
Her heart ached for the Australians,
And the Borrobooli- Ghalians,
And the poor, dear Amahagger,'
Yes, it did,
And she loyed the black Numidan,
And the ebon Abysinian,
And the charcoal. colored Guinean,
Oh, she did
And she said she'd cross the seas
With ship of bread and cheese
For those starving Chimpanzees,
Sure, she did.
Now she loved the cold Norwegian,
And the poor half melted Feejeean,
And the dear Molucca Islander,
She did;
She sent pie and canned tomato
To the tribes beyond the equator,
But her husband ate potato, -
So he did,
The poor helpless, homeless thing
my voice falters as sing)
Tied his clothes up with string,
Yes, he did,

The Dolls Reception.

Owen, Moore & Co.'s spacious store was
crammed all day Saturday by the visitors to
the dolls reception. SO great was the rush
that the public could only be admitted by
sections of such size, as to comfortably fill
the great basement, and as one sectien left
another was admitted. There were dolls OF
every conceivable size. make, value and ma.
terial, a number of them dressed superbly as
for court drawing room, others less extrav-
agantly, and so ON down the scale until the
primitive creation was reached.
Almost every one wanted to see the dolli-
phone, but Mr.. Rollins stated that none
could be procured for love or money. A
large toy dealer in New York went to Mr..
Edison to see what he could do and that gem
tleman said he should take no order of less
sum than 100000. The person giving tina.
order could then put the dolliphones on the
market and supply the trade.
