THE WORLDS HOUSEHOLD.

The world is a great household, and woman is
the mother of it. But it has never been rightly
managed. Man has been trying to do alone what
woman should have had a hand in. The Divine
Creator never intended man to have full sway, but
he took it, and possession is everything.
Who ever heard of a household prospecting with
out a mother at its head? Who attends to the
details when mother is away, and what home with
a good mother at the head ever went to ruin?
Father may be ever 50 good, conscientious and
efficient, but he can't help the bread souring. The
world has had unwholesome bread for such a long
time that the tempers of the children are well nigh
ruined. Now, mother knows nothing is so
%ruinous to the dispositions of the family as sour
bread; but she has been powerless.
For centuries woman has been doing her duty
in that state of life to which it has pleased man to
call her, imagining it to be the station to which it
had pleased God to call her. But she is awakened
at last to the true condition of affairs. She sees
how much she is needed, and her wit and energy
and persistence will straighten things out at last.
Man has not an idea how smoothly will run the do
nestle wheels when he allows woman to assist in the
oiling. The worlds children are to be looked after
in a different way. Mother will let the sunshine into
the nursery and put flowers in the windows. Their
t~asteless broth will be made palatable with the
condiment Of sympathy which has been sadly

DOES MUSCLE DENOTE SUPERIORITY?

Society at large e~ntertains a notion that physical
endurance and muscular development, weight and
size decide the matter of superiority of the mas
culine over the feminine world. While this rule
is applied between man and woman, we rarely
think to apply it in comparing man with man. We
know that the most intrepid spirit is often bound
up in an understood frame, and the slender, wiry,
nervous man, small in stature, can put his large
sized antagonist to shame with his courage. The
same elements employed in comparing man with
man produce a very different impression in COM
pairing the sexes. Surely no one would think to
compare a pugilist with a book worm to the dis
comfture of the latter. There is one glory of the
sun and another glory of the moon and another of
the stars, and shall a woman be set down as in
ferior because she cannot lay a brick walk? But
probably she could make a brick walk.
There dwells a few miles out in the country from
this city, a woman who supports a family of six
small children and a husband by coming into the
city on foot daily with fruit and vegetables to sell.
A very beast of burden, she loads the bags and
baskets onto herself and trudges on in dust and
heat for the few cents daily that puts the bread
into the mouths of the family, ''During the
winter, what do you do when there is no fruit or
green things to sell to provide for necesslties?"
said the writer to her one day. "Then, l take
my ak and go into the woods and chop replied
Woman's chronicle. (Little Rock, Ark.) 1888-1???, 1888-08-11

she. Now, here is an instance of q brave woman
who not only bears the children but provides the
bread. But does the fact Of her being able to chop
wood prove any superior ability above the making
of the same living with her needle?
Now, here's woman who could make a brick walk
or carry mortar up a ladder. What does the physical
endurance prove? Nothing. One would think that
some day when she started for the woods, ak
over her shoulder, she would be waited on by q
vigilance committee and ordered back because she
was out of her sphere. But it is noticeable that
so long as she is keeping out no men with axes,
who are also anxious to chop, nothing will be
mentioned about 'pnwomanliness' and "spheres."
This much for the Rev. Buckley!
Suppose, instead of always comparingt the superior
men and the inferior women, we compare the in
ferior men with the superior women. This would
be such a change and the variety would lend spice
to the suggestion and novelty to the result. In
searching for the great woman, let us not go by
her weight or the weight of her husband, or his
brains or money bags. Because she may be a
little woman physically and not weigh more than
a hundred and ten pounds bodily.
When we are all put on the scales for our true
and final weight, many a little woman, whom the
world has never suspected of it, will bear the
scales down. down, evn, and the imitation
feather-weight soul of a big three-hundred-pound
man will go up, up, up, so high you never will see
it. In the next world true soul weight will be APP
parent, and in this world, right here, which will
some day be better than it is now, the day is not
very far distant when greatness will be a matter
of soul and not of sex.

IANSWER YOU HERE.

We broke a link from the golden chain
OF our lives, dear. You bid me mend it again
(But the link was lost)-I have sought in vain
To find it.
Friend of my youth, the past is dear;
But DER it has grown, for many a year,
A grave so lone, and far and drear,-
Seek not to find it
You ask me look back at our childhood years;
And l do. But tits through a haze of tears,
And shadowy valleys of clouds and fears
Divide us.
Seek not, pray you, the mist to dispel,
Lest midst the verdure of rocky dell
Some unearthed skeleton caft aspell
To deride us.
We rest in the present peacefully,
The middle distance we shall let be,
Wrapped in a blue mist. We only see
Dim outlines.
Only shadows of long ago.
Turn we then to the future, where all aglow
In the sunset of life, Love leads us through
Earth's confines. N.

wanting. The salt has lost its SAVIOR, and the
milk Of human kindness has turned to curds and
whey. The children have grown quarrelsome, and
everything is in an uproar.
Before now, in times of war and pestilence, she
has been called to the scene and materially aided
in cleaning things up, neither receiving nor
expecting glory therefor; but now, unlimited, she
steps in and asks to be allowed to put things to
rights and to help keep them so. She asks to be
a mother in authority and not merely a house,
keeper. The children need her. The dust of in
justice and intemperance needs to be wiped up,
and the windows are dim with prejudice so the
sunlight of truth cannot shine in.
The hearth fires need tanning with pure air and
the ashes of old-time false principles need taking
up. The broom has stood unused and on the
wrong end so long it refuses to do its work, and
the old political platforms are sadly in need of
sweeping. The mother stands. at the threshold
waiting-with a bran new broom and duster. The
world needs her, not alone to clean up, but to
keep 1t so.

BRAIN CAPACITY.

Science has watched the progress of woman very
jealousy. Science has declared against her capa-
city and has ever set itself up as a guard to see
that maternal duties are not neglected. Physicians
declare that woman is incapacitated mentally and
physically for the duties of the office OF medical
attendant, and with silent scorn they have watched
her presumption in pushing ahead to a place in
their ranks.
When faced in an argument, science is compelled
to admit that a good deal of bluff has been en-.
ployed in putting her down. In school work girls
show better application and average a much higher
grade of scholarship than boys. A girl often car
ries off q medal in the face of many male COMPETE
tors and an eastern college faculty not long since,
after deciding on a prize essay, which it transpired
was from a feminine pen, refused to award the
prize on the ground she was not in the race.
Statistics point to some more or less astounding
facts as to what she can do in the field where she
completes favorably with men and their mental
capabilities. Science announces itself ready to
dlsprove these facts, and the world accepts the

Helen Gardner read a bright, %succinct paper on the
subject NSex in Brain" before the International
Council in Washington. After treating the subject
in a very lucid manner she winds up by stating the
following extraordinary fact. The brain of no re-
markable woman has ever yet been examined.
The only brains of women that have fallen into the
hands OF the profession for comparison were those
of hospital subjects, tramps and unfortunates.
While man is represented by the brains OF the
Cromwells, Cuviers, Byrons and Spnrzheims. BY
this method the average of mems brains is carried
to the highest level and women's brains to the
lowest, and there is claimed to be 100 grammes
difference. This magnanimity on the part OF
science puts Minerva to the blush. Science, it
would seem, must employ something besides weight
to prove the immense superiority of the male over
the female brain, although weight has always been

Elder s. M. Smothers delivered his
lecture, as was announced, to full
house. The audience was spell-bound
from the beginning to the close. The
ministerial College," upon which he
lectured, is a new institution in the
world and is having marvellous growth,
especially in Indiana, Ohio, Illinois and
West Virginia, and its managers are
figuring on suitable place in which to
publish paper, which President
Smothers thinks may come to Hillsboro,
if there seems to be general favoring
it by our citizens and friends. Elder

HIll.boro M. e. Church.

The conference year as 1t draws to Z
close finds the Methodist Episcopal
Church in HiIlsboro in flourishing con-
dition. This is gratifying not only to
the members OF the society but to the
community at large. Our best citizens
are those who rejoice when our churches
and schools prosper. There have been
upwards Of 1870 accessions TO the mem.
bership during the present pastorate.
The Sunday School enrolls over 400
pupils. 1t is graded school and sup
piled with competent officers and
teachers, under the superintendent Of
l.. Detwiler. The music is excellent,
having piano, organ, flute and cornet for
accompaniment Plans for the increased
efficiency Of the school are being matured
and the cooperation OF the public is
bespoken.
Last Sunday was Missionary Day in
this church. DR.. Runyan, the Presiding
Elder, preached an able and inspiring
sermon, after which the pastor, Rev. d.
W. Clark, aided by the Disciplinary
Committee on Missions, Of which Judge
Meek is Chairman, proceeded to take the
collection. S4l3-the largest sum ever
raised in the church was subscribed. It
is hoped that by the diligence OF the
Sunday School this may be increased to
5000. Friends who were no, present to
share in this offering will soon be invited
to contribute toward the other benevo-
lent enterprises, especially the one..which
appeals strongly to sympathy, the col
lection for the relief OF disabled minis
ters and widows and orphans of minis

Close of Miss Mary Gailey's cho,


Yesterday was the last da& of our
spring term OF school at thiA place,
taught by Miss Mary Galley. Tn house
was decorated for the occasion with
flowers, and everybody seemed TO put
on their holiday dress. The evening
was spent in recitations by the small
scholars, who did credit not only to
themselves but to their teacher.
The teacher gave a reading school at
night in which all took a part and made
things lively for couple of hours,
after which some vocal music was in.
troduced in the programme, which was
well rendered. This is Miss Gailey's
first term OF school at this place and we
will say that she is a good teacher and
we'll "worthy of her hire" After a
short speech from I. r. Vance the choir
sang "God be with us till we meet again. !"
Then we were dismissed and all felt
that it was good to have been there.

BASE BALL.
Black Stockings-New LexingtOns.

DsesSh csVchhukb-NcW hUAsHBsVnbs
The Black Stockings played the first
game Of the championship series with
the Lexingtons last Wednesday after
noon, on their grounds near the gas well.
II was u closely contested game, unde-
cided until the last man was retired.
The Lexingtons, although recently or
ganized, had out strong team, most Of
their men belonging to the old nine.
The batteries were jenkins and McCon.
naughey, and Ursell and Horsman. The
visitors we're unable to solve the drops
and curves Of jenkins, the large score
being attributed to wild throws. The
home nine outbatted, outplayed and out.
fielded their opponents at every point,
but were very reckless in throwing to
bases.
The game opened with the Blacks at
the bat, securing two runs in the first
inning. The Lexingtons were retired in
one-two.three order. Neither side scored
in the second inning. McConnaughey
(Chs rley) hit to right for a base and
stole second, and could have scored on
Chaney's long hit to center for three
bases, but was put out on Elwood's fine
throw to the home plate. The visitors
were retired on easy plays. The third
inning opened very auspiciously for the
Blacks, securing four runs, but in the
last half their wild throwing allowed the
visitors to pile up six runs, tieing the
score. In the fourth the Blacks drew a
goose egg, the visitors securing one run.
In the fifth the Blacks secured two addi-
tional runs. The visitors were retired
on flies to Jenkins. In the sixth the
Blacks were again blanked, the Lexing.
tons securing three runs. BY fine base
running in the seventh inning the home
team piled up three more runs, the Wis.,
itors not scoring any more until the last
half of the ninth. In the eighth the
Blacks went to the bat ard hammered
out six runs and the game. They jump.
ed on Ursell's curves and batted them
all over the field. McConnaughey hit
to left for two bases, Chaney flew out
to Horsman, Patton reached first on
Adams tumble, and Immediately stole
second, McConnaughey going to third.
Charley McConnaughey got his base on
balls, filling the bases. Then Gamble
lined one to left for three bases, McCon-
naughey, Patton and Charley McCon-
naughey scoring, Gamble scoring on Kel-
ly's single over short stop. Kelly scored
on North's hit to right for two bases,
Jenkins was retired at first, North stole
second and came home on Fullerton g
single. McConnaughey struck out, thus
ending the run getting. In the
ninth the Blacks were retired in one.
two-three order. The visitors made a
grand rally in the last half to save the
game, but were prevented from it by
sharp fielding, securing but three runs.
Mr.. George Lawrence, of New York,
umpired the game. The score:

Black StOckings-Dudes.

In accordance with arrangements
previously entered into, the Black
Stocking Base Ball Club and the
"Dudes" played last Monday afternoon
the second OF the series OF games that
are to determine which OF the two clubs
shall carry the belt. The game was a
walk-over for the "Dudes," the score
standing 20 to ~ in their favor. Eb and
and Ed Lemons were the battery for the
"Dudes," while Patton and North did
the work for the Black Stockings. The
Lemons boys are a great battery and we
believe can not be excelled by any team
in the county. Hard batting by the
"Dudes" was feature of the game that
brought sorrow to the Blacks.

NOTES.
1t was a great game.
Brilliant fielding was the success OF
the Blacks.
jenkins pitched great game, and if
he keeps up his gait will make an ex-
cellent amateur pitcher.
A number OF LeXington's hard hitters
failed to find the ball.
About five hundred people saw the
game. The people have taken consider.
able interest in the national sport.
Mr.. J. Y. Dean, OF the firm of II. w.
Wolfe & Co., has the most sincere thanks
and best wishes OF the boys for the five
dollar donation that he made to the
club at the close OF the game. Come
again, Mr.. Dean.
Gamble had on his batting clothes,
and is credited with winning the game.
With the bases full, he hit the pig skin
fair In the face for three bases.
The Blacks are undoubtedly the finest
fielding team in the county; also the
the best base runners. Their only weak
point is at the bat.
SLEEPY" Fullerton, on first, knows
how to stop the ball to the best advan-
tape,
