A man with a mind given to acute

there is but little in literature, ancient OF
modern, with which GLADSTONE is not
acquainted. The different schools OF
philosophy, material, skeptical and
agnostic, are as familiar to him as his
a-b-c's; and yet, though surrounded by
what Mr.. INGERsoLL would admit were
atheistic influences from the time his
mind began to investigate on It's own
account, Mr.. GLADSTONE remains a
sincere and fervent Christian.
He has found enough in his eXacting
studies to prove to him not only the
reasonableness, but the necessity OF
Christianity. The intellectual equip
ment which he has therefor secured
will warrant HIM in dealing adequately
with the fallacious theories and glitter
ing sophistries with which lNGERsoLL
has deluded, honestly, perhaps. multi
tude of hearers who were not disposed
to do much investigating on their own

CHARMoF FEMININITY.

A New York widow who employed a
matrimonial bureau to aid her in getting
a second husband failed in her venture,
and then sued the matrimonial agents
for damages. Her case was thrown out
of court on the ground that all contracts
of this kind are contrary to public pol
icy. The justice and wisdom of this de-
cision will be recognized everywhere.
The world has wagged along with the
old customs of courtship and marriage
for several thousand years, and there is
no special reason why change should
be desirable now.
But there is lesson i'll this decision
of the New York court which merits
special study at this time. 1t contains
a rebuke to large number of women in
this country who have apparently lost
that fine sense of womanlinesS which
formerly distinguished American wom-
anhood. 1t is timely rebule to the
tendency of the girls of the period to be
masculine in their tastes and manners.
According to the old ideas of womanly
propriety it was impossible for one of the
softer sex to do anything in the way of
promoting her own chances of mat
rimony. Then femininity was woman's
chief charm, and as long as she was in
possession of that charm nobody ever
St. Paul daily globe. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1884-1896, 1888-03-04

heard any complaint about the scarcity
OF marriages. The craze for husband
hunting never set in until it got to be
the fashion with large class of women
to express shame of their sex by assum-
ing masculine manners.
Why is it that femininity, woman'S
chief charm, is OH the decline, and that
the tendency of the female of the period
is to be masculine in her tastes and
manners? 1t is possible that the cir
cumstances which have forced so many
women to be bread winners may have
something to do with it. The woman
who has to struggle shoulder to shoulder
with her brother in the race for bread may
be pardoned for catching certain man.
illness of manner. CO-educatiOn has
doubtless had its influence, too. The
girl who studies the same lesson and
recites in the same class with boys
must develop more OF less manly assur-
ance in her endeavor to stand at the
head of the class. Then there is
another self-aSSertive female-one who
is probably not to blame for her mas
culinity. 1t is the girl of geniuS-the
and women Of mediocre caliber. She
attracts admiration by her wit, her
genius, her Self-pOssession. She is not
giddy. Yet she is not feminine. Hav-
ing been born that way, we let her pass.
But there is another class of girls who
affect masculinity, for whom there is not
the least particle of excuse. The girl OF
hnvpn wealth
social position, has been educated in
books and accomplished to the utmost OF
her capacity. Why she should discard the
charm Of femininity and aim to become
masculine in her tastes and manners is
something beyond all finding out.
Everybody has seen her. She bets on
the races, plays pool at the summer
resort. She talks slang even to the verge
Of profanity, is always ready for lark
or anything of a harum-scarum nature.
Although the men call her 'horSy,"
they all like her. And yet there is not
one of them that would marry her.
If these girls have an idea that by
discarding femininity they are improv-
ing their chances for marriage, they are
awfully mistaken. The average man
does not want to tie himself for life to a
female whose petticoats are the only
hold she has on womanhood. The man
of the period thinks the ''horsy" gill
awfully jolly, and can have lots of fun
with her; but excuse him, he doesn't
want her for wife. No man wants a
wife who has more self-assertion than
he possesses. This thing of being called
Mrs. SO-and-So's husband is not the
ambition of the marrying man of the
period. The isms and the olOgieS are
all we'll enough in their way, but they
don't take the place of good dinners or
good suppers. Genius in woman is
admirable enough at a distance, but it
isn't worth a cent to keep household
machinery in good running order. No.
Listen, girls. When it comes to marry
ing, every mothers son of the men will
pick out for wife the wOmanly woman;
the clinging, modest little creature who
will be content to shine in a reflected
light, and whose chief charm is her
femininity.

NEARING THE END.

The plucky crown prince Of Germany
is, without doubt, nearing the end. He
has made gallant fight, and the whole
world has sympathized with him; but
despite the eyasive and ambiguous
bulletins of his doctors, the impression
is general that he has but a limited
time to live. His death will be fraught
with the most vital consequences to
Germany, for it will do much to precip-
itate the inevitable crisis in European
affairs which has SO often of late
seemed near at hand.
The aged emperor, himself extremely
feeble. is not likely long to survive the
death Of his son; and in the near future,
therefore, it is very probable that the
latter'S son, Prince WILLIAM, will be
called upon to become the head of the
state. This young man is understood
to be devoted to the military traditions
of his house-to embody, in fact, the
very sentiment that is involved in the
name which his race bears: Germans,
guerre-men, or warriors.
With BISMARCK, who is impatient of

music is the tramp of German troops,
as the closest adviser of a youth him
self partial to military glory, it is not
likely that. Russia will have to wait
long for the pretext which she seeks
before inaugurating the war. When
to this is added the growing feeling
in France, evinced by the recent popu-
lar demonstration in favor of BOU-
LANCER, for the return of war min
istry and the formation of a Russian
alliance, with revenge upon Germany
as the object, it will be seen that the
peace of Europe is indeed in imminent
danger of being shattered.
Of course, Americas interest in the
coming conflict is purely commercial
one, but to the average American it will
seem that the questions involved, and
because of which the war will occur,
are not so difficult but that they might
be peacefully decided to the advantage
of all concerned by some thoroughly i'm
partial country, such as this, for in

And blind bats wheel above black lagooDs,
Where erocodiles feast upon crazy looms

| United States? Labor is found there
employed at wages and under such con-
ditions as are appalling to an indie
| pendent, free-born citizen. Since
American labor is now PROSTATE under
the tariff, how can it fall any lower if
the tariff be removed?
| 1t is for the workingman to honestly
disabuse himself of the idea that pro-
lection raises his wages or that free
trade will lower them. If he can not do
this he must be prepared to defend the
cries that the wisest minds in America
to-day reject as false.
Hon. WILLIAM CAMPBELL, in late
address before the Algonquin club, Of
Minneapolis, gave the protectiOnist this
nut to crack-that the value of Ameri-
can labor decreased 6 per cent in the
thirty years ending 1880.
That in relation to the total value Of
free trade, received % per cent of the
total products, and in 1880 but II per
cent.
He noted as significant, ALSO, that under
free trade in the decade ending 1860 the
number of manufactures increased
17,400 and their capital 80 per cent, and
that in the decade under protection end
ing 1880 manufactures increased but
1,704 and their capital 80 per cent.
A tariff advocate can tread on no
more dangerous ground for himself
than when he enters the field of labor to
demonstrate that protection raises wages
and elevate American labor.
This much sneered-at labor of free
trade England is not to be despised IN
wages nor condition when all the truth
is known.
American labor averages from &C to
GO hours per week; English labor from
"a to Sc hours. The wages OF the Amer
lean are considerably more, but he pays
IL per cent more for the necessarieS OF
life and requires more food and clothing.
John Bull has nothing to complain of in
this arrangement.
In all candOr, then, let labor calculate
how much it is to be benefited
by a taxation that, while it raises
the cost of the needful things
nearly 20 per cent, has not raised
wages above the level of supply and de-
mand, and in the mines, the mills and
great manufacturing industries has cut
down labor's remuneration almost to the
level of the pauper labor of Europe.
The tariff reformer has but one pledge
to make to labor: and that is, that with
reduced taxation, cheaper living shall
be brought about. The aborer shall be
Tree to buy in whatsoever market he
chooses, and to take every advantage
derived from honest competition.
