Home Dutiea of woman.

The man who considers that the home
duties Of woman are inferior to the
political work Of man must either be a
bachelor or blind The very highest
qualities Of the heart and intellect may
be exercised by mother, a sister, or an
elder daughter, in watching over the
physical, mental, and moral growth Of
the children in their care. Heroic pa
tience, vigilance that never tires, an
adaptation Of means to the end, careful
study Of individual traits, keen psycho-
logical insight, may find ample room for
exercise within the four walls Of even a
humble home.

More About Appeals.

Your correspondent in a late issue OF
the Central, singing himself AZ writes
upon subj which must concern others
than himself, and 1 for one plead guilty
and admit that for long time, when
seeing the heading, and glancing at the
signature, of a communication from one
of our worthy Secretaries, at once
divine its purport and skip the article.
Although l read almost every other word
in the Central, even the big lines show
ing the comparative merits of the differ
ent Baking Powders.
This is out of no disrespect to the
Secretaries, or from want of interest in
the causes for which they appeal, for
while l have kept no account of the
direction in which the sums have gone,
and have not come up to "H's" standard
OF giving, viz: one-seventh, have, for q
good many years, and before knew the
names Of the present Secretaries, given
annually one-tenth of my income, what
ever it might be, and it was quite small
some times, to objects coming, as
thought, within the range of those which
Christ would approve and l have for a
long time noticed with regret the fact
that our Secretaries felt called upon to
present themselves as mendicants before
the public, and l think that there must
be something radically wrong about a
system which almost nauseates, if I may
use the word, a man who annually Civ es
one-seventh of his income to benevolent
objects, and we are disposed to ask
whence the Assembly's Committees get
this authority for contracting debts
which they have no means of paying.
If the General Assembly authorises
the creation of these debts, then she
should provide means for paying them
and lay assessments upon the Presby.
teries, if that is lawful, and prevent the
necessity these brethren feel themselves
under of making such constant appeals
for aid.
The writer had tie misfortune of com.
ing under the censure of the then Secre
tary of Foreign MISSIONS several years
ago, on occount of 4 Communication sent
to the Central on very much the same
subject, though the reason then given by
the Secretary for his position in the mat

taries on the Importance of sustaining
the Christian enterprises of the Church,
or of exercising the grace of liberality in
contributing to them. But we believe
that the method of putting Christs work
before the people by these constant pub
lie appeals is unworthy of the great
cause in which we, with the Secretaries,
are co-workers, and we feel as ''Hi." says,
that these officials should leave this
matter of giving to the conscience of the
people, and their responsibility ceases
when they have used, to the best advan-
tage, the means committed to their hands.

~ ANNIE = MILSoN.

In one of the afternoon services at the
Moody Tabernacle, Louisville, KY, near
the close of the half hours song service,
Mr.. Moody said, "Mr. Sanky will sing
The Lily of the Valley"
1t was evidently favorite with Mr..
Moody himself, and very decidedly so
with the congregation, but Mr.. Sanky s
singing had not as yet made the impress
sion which had been expected, so the
nearly FIVE thousand people who were
assembled found the hymn somewhat
listlessly. Mr.. Sanky generally did his
own playing, and we could not wonder
that he preferred it for nobody could
make the organ talk as he did.
There was standing beside him on this
occasion a striking face and figure,
shadowy, sad young face, with great
eager wistful eyes peerlng out from a
quaint, oddly fashioned bonnet. AS Mr..
Sanky began she joined in, at first with
a shy uncertainty, watching anxiously
every expression, movement, tone and in
donation, like one who was tuning one
instrument to another.
Ere they reached the chorus of the
first verse she had gained full confidence,
and her soft, full alto melted into his
clear rich soprano, and formed tide of
such sweetness and power as left no
Iietless ear in the audience.
In sorrow He's my comfort, in trouble He's my
stay;
He tells me every care on Him to roll;
He's the Lilly OF the Valley" the bright and
morning star;
He's the fairest of ten thousand to my soul
Thus she sang, throwing back her
head, her whole soul in her face, and evi.
IDENTIFY forgetting everything save Him to
whose praise she sang.
As she took her seat every body turned
to everybody else.
"Who is she p
Whence comes she?'
What is the story of her life?
For all we're convinced she had his
tory and a remarkable one, though only
bits of it came to us now and then. She
was a converted Jewess-had come over
from Europe with Mr. Sanky, etc.
When the meeting was over and they
were all gone-Mr. Moody, Mr.. Sanky,
and the young stranger friend said to
us
Haven't you heard then I must tell
you ali aOOuJ IL.
And this was the story she told. Her
home was in England, her family wealthy
aud nearly related to Sir Moses Mont

everybody knows, and to the Rothchilds
They we're Jews, the father, l believe, a
strict Jew in every sense Of the word, but

Strangely enough, though it is quite
common, this young convert says, they

They secured one, lovely character

from any effort to proselyte her young

life among them, and thus preached

BLOOMING MEADOWS
Promising Wheat Fields on the RencI,
Lands-Rich Pastures

The country around Great Falls is now
IN the full bloom of early summer. The
grass on the bench lands is luyuriant.
Far as the eye can reach rich pastures
may be discerned. The neighboring fields
are full of cattle and horses, all in prime
condition. The wheat fields are very prom
lsing The field sown to wheat bv Messrs.
Gibson and Vaughn on the bench land
back of the town shows uniformly
strong, healthy plants, which are
growing rapidly owing, to the
temperate weather which is making up for
the backward spring. Judge Rolfe has a
promising oat field. Ii general wheat
and oats are looking well. There ought
to be more land devoted to market gar
dening. 1t is still time to do more in that
line which would pay well in view of the
growth of the town and the supplies
needed for the workmen at the smelter,
There is a great deal of money sent away
for vegetables which ought to be kept at
home.
MIR. Bartholomew, who has had much
experience in Dakota farming says: 81
like the country on the bench lands. 1t
is much better than that met with on the
hill leading to Sand Coulee, which is
sandy. Large wheat crops ought to be
raised here. Mr.. Gibson's wheat is thriv-
ing, The pastures are rich and speak
well for the soil which | see is
underaid by brown clay. The cool
weatheris good for wheat Y ou have all the
conditions here for producing as good
No. l hard wheat as we raise in Dakota
In Dakota we break the ground in the
spring, turning the sod to Il depth a few
inches. Then we back it in the fall
and are ready for seeding IN the spring
In this way we cultivate Il great deal Of
land, for we are not delayed by plowing
in the spring. The same method can be
pursued here. As for the town, can see
that 1t is growing wonderfully. The num-
Der of new houses on the south side is
surprising. There are more large stores
on Central avenue than ! have ever seen
in town of this population"

RAILROAD GROWTH.
MIR. BARMAN PREPARING FOR THE
SPEEDY ERECTION OF THE
FREIGHT DEPOT.
The Wool Warehouse to be Built Quickly
also----Where it is to be Located---
Eight More Railroad Tracks
to he Laid,

1t is the intention of the Manitoba rail
road to provide Great Falls with terminal
facilities on an extensive scale in order
TO accommodate the large passenger
and freight traffic that is naturally ex-
pected from the development of trade
and industry here and the surrounding
country. Already the Manitoba and
Montana Central railroads have here the
most extensive terminal facilities in Mon
tana, but these are intended to give place
to spacious, permanent buildings at this
side of the river. #.
Mr. Barman, the Manitoba engineer, is
preparing for the construction of the
buildings and the necessary grading. He
is now receiving bids for the latter work
which will be begun at once.
The freight depot will stand at Park
drive and Fourth avenue 1t will be 200
feet long and 40 feet broad. This build
ing will be provided with the ampest
means for handling goods at a tritling
cost. 1t will be readily accessible from
the business center of the city and will
be adapted to receive Or distribute goods
over the four railroads which now meet
here. Bullion from the smelter, coal and
ore from the Sand Coulee and Belt noun
tain railroads, general freight from the
Manitoba and Montana Central lines, will
be received or dispatched at this large
building without difficulty Or delay.
The wool warehouse will be built first
because ii will be needed first. 1t will be
24515 feet long and 40 feet wide. 1t will
be lofty and secure. 1t will be provided
with weighing scales and so arranged
that wool may be received from the
platforms at one side and readily shipped
from those at the other side which will
adjoin the railroad track. More build
ings will be added to these so as to rem
der this railroad yard equal to any in the
northwest.
These warehouses will be connected
with the bridge by two main tracks in
addition to the present one. These tracks
will converge above Myers saw mill,
where they will meet the Sand Coulee
branch line. They will be mile long.
There will be six other tracks, nearly
as long, to provide for the incidental
traffic and the general movement. of
cars.
The material for these buildings is ar
irving. A large force of men is also eX-
pected. When Mr.. Barman has conplet-
ed the plans he will return to the head
quarters at st. Paul and another engineer
will be sent here. Busy times may be
looked for when all this work is in pro-
gress.

LONDON, May 24.-The colossal military
preparations in Russia are still the theme
of general speculation. Austria has
awakened to the obvious intention of her
big neighbor to reap her harvest in the
Balkans, and is hurrying troops forward
to the Galician frontier with feverish
haste. Early hostilities on the border
will surprise no one acquainted with the
situation, and the evident anxiety of the
Russian troops to exchange camp, garrl-
son and barrack for active service. Re-
volts are reported to have taken place in
several Bulgarian towns on Saturday, in
two cases. at least, with the result of put
ting to flight the troops sent to quell the
disturbances Russian agents charged
with the duty of fomenting discord among
the people Of the Balkans, have done
their work thoroughly, and its sequel will
undoubtedly be a Russian invasion of the
disturbed districts within short time.

this morning created decided sensation
on the West Side by Disgusting herself as
a man, putting on false moustache, tax
ing up her place at the corner of Fulton
and Ann streets, and when p. ] . Bolander,
prominent real estate agent, passed ell
deavoring to kill him with revolver. A
policeman had been watching her ner-
vous movements about the corner for some
time and becoming suspicious started to-
ward the supposed young man just in
time to strike up the revolver and detlect
the shot which would doubtless have end
ed Bolander's life. As it was he was only
slightly wounded. When taken to
the station Miss Richmond cl iimed she
had been living with Bolander. They
were married according to her belief by
legal contract. A couple of months ago
he deserted her and she learned he had
been married long time and lived with
her while his wife was away. Brooding
over this she determined to kill him.
She claims he first imposed on her by
drugging her and then deceiving her into
the belief that their common law marriage
was valid. Bolander admits he roomed
with the girl during his wife's absence,
but denies drugging her Or using decept-
ion in the contract matter.
