Miss Willard writes: Mrs. Meriwether's inmit-
able address of welcome at Nashville has inspired
an artist to make one of the brightest political car
toons of current history, He represents Uncle
Jonathan decked out in the United States flag,
seated with long pipe at his lips, and with his
feet on the hearth of stove that is ''stil, and
has " Congress No. 90 on the side. ''Corn juice "
is cooking with vim and being handed through
window to the boys" The National Kitchen is
in terrible disorder and the American eagle is on
its back drunk, with whisky bottle in its talons
Meanwhile ''Aunt Columbia" decked in dress
like Josephs coat of many colors (Which is being
interpreted, the United States flag AGAIN., appears
in the doorway with looks of sorrow and astonish-
ment, and with several of our National w. C. I.
U. leaders, broom and mop in hand, proceeds to
give ''Hail Columbia" to her easy-going spouse.

Mrs. Ella Wheeler Wilcox, the poetess, is firm
believer in Christian science and regular con-
tributor to The Truth the organ of the scientists
published in Chicago by Mrs Mary H. Plunkett.
But Mrs Wilcox objects to the name by which the
new theory is known, and says that it should be
called mental SCIENCE In an interview with
St. Louis reporter she said: eyes, | am inter-
ested in mental science, but | don't think my
opinion on that matter is worth very much to the
public. am only babe, rocking in the cradle
of that belief. | don't think that there is any
person but who has regard for mental science after
having studied the question 1t is grand, beau

physical. 1t contains all of the good things and
none of the obnoxious features that the churches
give to Christianity; containing all love and no
fear. God is merciful being, and does not want
to be worshpped through fear. The many mira

Rev. Frederick L. Hosmer, of Cleveland, Ohio,
preached last Sunday to deeply-interested con-
gregation from the text, "There is neither Jew
nor Greek there is neither bond nor free, there is
neither male nor female; for ye are all one in
Christ Jesus" (Galations, 3:29.) He reviewed
the great change that has taken place in the con-
dition of women, and said in conclusion: ''What
is to be the outcome of this fuller recognition of
woman's part and claim in all that pertains to the
general interest and welfare through the last half
century of our American life? Will she reach
limit beyond which no more advance towards en-
tire equal right and privilege with her brother
will be allowed, and she will ask no more? Or is
the logic of this larger and larger recognition to
break down barrier after barrier of long-inherited
usage, until at last Abraham Lincoh's definition

shall come full-orbed in the social sky, and in
every hand over which the law holds sway there
