We have had a few exceedingly
warm days this week.
Captain Jos Boudreaa brought to
our Office yesterday week several
cotton hollis ready to open, which
came from Cheinere au Tigrc. The
crops in that section Of our parish
arc reported in excellent condition,
and the yield promises to meet all
expectations.
Wcnotice with pleasure the enter.
prise Of our worthy towneman, Mr..
John Brookshier, whoae cotton gin
was burned some months ago. In
its place he has erected q large iron,
sheetcd house, and is fully prepared
to meet the demands Of the coming
season with much greater facilities
and promptness.
On Thursday morning we had 8
good shower, which some of our
planting friends tell US they were
Glad to receive. The excessive wet
smell of a few weeks back was fol,
lowed by such hot, dry weather that
the ground was baking and the
crops burning, and it il thought that
this season will make everything a.
it should be. There is an immense
corn crop already made, and the
prospects for the other crops are
exceedingly favorable.

An Abstruse vagabond.

A tramp walked back and knocked
on the kitchen door of North Sidney

doctor whose coming was expected.

Women Ministers.

On the resurrection morn, the commits

former did not apply to the latter. /

Christ's commissions were given to
women and men alike. Men have too

church is very important Let us not
array ourselves against the Holy
Ghost in women, lest we be found to

a Saving Measure.

Il will hardly be claimed that law can
do nothing toward discouraging vice or
encouraging virtue. This being the
case, it is not wonderful that women
who find the law exerting a direct in
fiuence for harm upon their children
should wish they had the power them
selves to exert a direct influence upon
the law. II is possible to strain legis-
latiOn too far in the effort to check
vice, and it is probable that women, II
the making of the laws were committed
entirely to them, would err in that di-
rection. In the matter Of discouraging
immortality by law, the tendency OF
women Is too severe, as that Of men -
to be too lax. By letting them both
vote, we should be likely to arrive at
the golden mean.-Aiice Stone Black
oeu, in Christian Union.

A Ola IDdustry and tne h ward 81 Zero
thsaeAt and Ente prise.
Some thirty years ago . young girl
was working in . factory in Connectt
cut Il was Just before the tide Of for
eign immigration had set in to tie fac
tories, and she was one ri q very nice
circle Of American girls, who had .
pleasant life among themselves and .
very friendly relation with their en-
ployerA
She went away, however, and finally
married shoe manufacturer in Lynn.
Her husb.nd was of an inventive turn
Of mind. aud made many Improvements
in machinery for making shoes. One
day. when In a toy store. Mrs. - at
tention was drawn to some dolls shoes.
She examined them carefully. and said:
II think / could make those" She
bought a pair. took them home. and
consulted with her husband. He th0ught
he could adapt his improved machinery
to the tiny workmanship, and accord
ingiy set about 1t. The result was sue
cessful. For some reason. they wenttO
New Jersey to set up their factory. The
wife took the entire charge Of the BUSH
ness of the concern. and made it very
profitable. Her husband died some
years ago. and she has carried it on
alone, with increasing success. She is
now possessed OF q handsome fortune,
and, rs she is growing old, she feels that
she must soon give up the business. bus
would like to put it in the hands of soma
other woman. who will learn the work
thoroughly and be equally faithful
TO it.
This is . small industry seemingly.
bu. as every child must have adolf. and
as every doll must be in the fashion and
have pair of shoes, it is evident that
our big country requires large num-
Der in one year. The amount she
makes is fifty thousand pair in a year.
She makes all varieties-slippers. boots,
walking-boOts, with heels and without.
and the sizes are regularly graduated
as in ladies' shoes. She has had the
field nearly to herself, but there IA be-
ginning to be some competition from
France. so that, although she has never
been a pronounced suf1ragist, she will
probably feel as II she would like to
have vote on the question Of the
tariff.
Why will so many intelligent women
waste strength and time in complaining
Of low wages. instead Of looking around
diligently to see what the world wants
to have done, and doing it with all their
might? Many woman would rave

saw what other people wanted. waich
