The modern ideal home is just as much an
intellectual and emotional work as an essay
or n poem. A book is a collection of
thoughts. Such also is dwelling house,
and the woman who has in some degree
fashioned it is as much an intellectual creator
as is the masculine toier whom we call an
essayist or poet or dramatist. While, there
fore, the new home Of our age is the result
of the great and free woman, it is also the
cause and has made woman the possessor of
an intellectual power which she could not
claim in the cabin and tent period. The
house has helped to create the new woman

There dwelt, some time ago,
A person whom know,
Called in this way:
''Senor Don Rodrigo

When we got through with IL,
If fools or wise of wit,
Not one in ten could hit

Not one in twenty could

If one had time, he would
Think it misSpent.
So when we spoke this man,
This titled Mexican,
We all pursued this plan,
Thinking it meet;
Dropped every el and del,
Jose and Don as well,
AL names We couldn't spell,
Just called him Pete"
He, with his wealth of name,
Took this one, just the saIne,
And thus his card became

At the Social Science League Meeting
 A Small Audfence-Ekesortt to the open
 Air For Future Meetings.
 The lockout of Herr Most of New York, who was to speak under the auspices of the Social Science league at the hall in Exchange building some time ago, and the leagues not being able on the Sunday previous to secure 8 speaker, seems to have shaken the faith of a great many of the regular attendants and members, for at 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon, when Mr. Solotoriff of New York was ready to begin his lecture on "Russia and Ameri- ca," there was an audience of about half @ dozen present. They were all his country men, who were anxious to hear the speaker compare the great empire with this country. Before o'clock, however, there was an audi ence of about twenty present. MT. Solotorif has been great student and talks from a scientific standpoint, and it was greatly re- gretted there was not 8 larger audience pres- ent.
 Last evening at TIA Chapel street he made an address on the same subject in Russian, which was listened to by quite number of his countrymen.
 Mir. T. w. Curtiss, the prime mover in the league, made an announcement that the next meeting would probably be held in the open air-from the State House steps or some other convenient place

An Impressive Appeal by Rev. |. \
 Foster,

An Impressive Appeal by Rev. |. M.
 Foster.
 At the St. John street Methodist Episco~ pal church last evening the Rev. I. NJ. Foster took the following subject for his text: ''The Christian citizen in his relation to the rum traffic." In the course of his remarks Mir. Foster stated that no matter in what respect excessive drinking was looked at, it meant always O curse in itself and the foundation of woes. and griefs to mothers, wives and daughters It was asserted that the sale of rum was lawful. So said men about slavery thirty yeafs ago, but the hand of God took away slavery although there were millions of dollars invested in it. A Christian man be- lieved in God and the Bible; he asked no questions beyond his relations to God and truth. MT. Foster said it was the duty of every Christian man to abstain from assert ing that the present state of matters could not be remedied and that crime could not be lessened. Saloons were so numerous in this city that hold could be taken of the e.door knob of one with one hand and of another saloon door with the other. The sale of in toxicating liquors as beverages was illegal in China, but in this enlightened country, whence missionaries were sent thither, such trade was permitted. In conclusion. he en- treated ali Christian men to help in lessening crime by decreasing the liquor traffic.

HAxDN's oRAToR1o CREATION

At she st. John Street M. E. Church.
 The sale of reserved seats at Loomis' Tenn pie of Music on Saturday gives promise of a good audience at the oratorio concert on Thursday evening next. Every seat in the church has been reserved, and the diagrams are being rapidly filled with check marks It is now probable that few if any seats will re- main to be sold at the door.
 The sale of tickets justifes the opinion that the love of oratorio music. has not en- tirely died out in New Haven, even though the expected rendering will he a vocal per- formance, pure and simple, without the usual accessories of grand orchestra.
 The soloists of the occasion are Mics May H. Mansfield of the Dwight Place church choir, Mr. Frank H. Osborn of the Center church choir and MT. Ericsson F. Bushnell, who has just entered upon an engagement in which it is said he commands the largest salary of any choir singer in New York. Much interest is manifested in the debut of these young artists in oratorio roles. Of MT. Bush- nell it is confidently affirmed by metropolitan critics that he will not suffer by comparison with Whitney, the great exponent of oratorio music.
 The soloists will be well supported by cuOlE OL uIIy rOtC6S, A4OsU OA WAOk4A A0FO DoOA educated and trained in music from child hood by our veteran public school music teacher, Prof. B. Jepson.
 The libretto printed for the occasion, now lying before us, is an exceedingly neat and tasteful arrangement. We note the absence of all advertisements from it's pages as one which the patrons of the entertainment will no doubt appreciate. The grand Mathushek piano to be manipulated by MT. Harry Jep son is the same used at the recent graduating exercises of the High school.
 The corps of ushers from Yale university to ofieiate on the occasion are as follows:

 There are probably 200 available seats yet untaken, which may be secured by obtaining an advance ticket at Peck's book store, to be exchanged at the Temple of Music. The price of tickets is fifty cents. M :.

Vulgar Fascination For Police Court
 SceRes-Our Lives Are What We
 Make Them-Pastor squires GIves
 Some Wholesome Advice.
 The Rev. L. H. Squires preached an elo-
 uuent discourse in the Church of the Messi-
 ah, Orange street, last evening on the sub
 feet of People who make themselves miser-
 able" The reverend gentleman first asked
 if it was possible that there were people in
 this world pursuing evil. It would seem that there were some, who not only pursued it. but took delight in it as if there was something to be gained by such conduct. Proceeding to indicate few of the ways in which people made themselves miserable, he referred to the fascination which crime had for criminals, and the police court for the vicious, vulgar crowd who took g peculiar delight in hearing the sentences pronounced on their own kind. Sometimes these crimes were committed in delirium, intoxication or the intensity of passion, but too often delib- erately or premsditated. Thus the offenders were stupidly and knowingly bringing mis- cry upon themselves. Then there were oth- CT crimes punishable only by natures law, which was memorable, such as eating too much People often overfed themselves, | and that against their consciences. Then the difficulties of domestic management. How often did people submit to little inconve- niences which might be reetiied by very it- tie trouble and the work made easy. In business how many men were lowering them selves to what might be called the tricks of the trade which was just the way to pursue failure If things went bad in business a man should take good account of himself, and if hs fancied that all creation was out of time let him take heed that it was not him self who was out of key. Self examination would be profitable exercise for multitudes. Suspicious or jealous people never lived at peace Blind credulity was better than sus- picion, and it was better fer us to think all mankind saints than to think ourselves swindled every day of our lives. In conclusion he entreated those present to practice self action. He who trusted in man enjoyed the things of the world Better to dwell in a poorhouse and dream of paradise than in a mansion and dream of purgatory.
