Associated Homes for English Ladies.
1.-THE Ladies' Associated Dwellin:

"The Ladies' Associated Dwellings
Company" propose to erect building
of about two hundred rooms. which are
to be let out singly. or in sets. to ladies
of small incomes or who are earning
their own living. The idea is that the
ladies. while preserving privacy and
independence, would be able to live ut
less rental. in better neighborhood.
and under generally better conditions
than in the often expensive and COM
FORTRESS London lodging. The rents
would begin at 2s. Cd. per week.
1t is suggested that the building
might be near q restaurant, or Nigh
contain one. from which the chief meal
of the day could be obtained.
The prospectus of the new company
states that two such buildings but ON
a small scale and defective in arrange
ments. are already in existence; that
for every vacant room there are many
applicants. and that they pay a small
dividend. 1t is thought that bigger and
betterdwellings would prove good in

THE wIFE'S EARNINGS.
II Women Can Earn Money Before They
Are Married, Why Not After:


Are Married, Why Not After:
When hear a woman say that her
husband gave" her ten cents, or
that he "let her have quarter say
it without a blush or apparently a
thought of her own degradation in be-
ing obliged to say SOL feel ashamed
for womanhood. and almost discour-
aged, and wonder sometimes if one so
dependent upon another will ever
make an independent voter. So in
grained into society is the feeling that
woman is supported" by her hus-
band, that women use these terms
without thought, and most people re-
echo them as thoughtlessly. So few
women value their services as they
ought, they forget that a housekeeper
would receive good wages for the labor
she performs, and would not use half the
care-would not save nearly so much.
Men know that this is SO when they
stop to think. but habit is so settled
with them that few stop to think. and
so we hear some of the best men say:
I'm let you have so MUCH" rs if the
money were any more his to let her
have than hers to let him have. Too
often it is the case that the wife feels
obliged to account for every cent
spent by her. while her husband
spends as he plcascs and renders no
account to any one. instead of each
keeping strict account of all money
which should belong equally to them.
1t is well that so many girls and
women earn money before marriage
nowadays; that helps them to APP
preciate the value of their labors; but
more is needed yet and l hope the
ballot will bring the more-will make
women respect their own value, and
through their self-respect will come
the respect of man.--Alurd Collins

Where the President's Tariff Ideas Receive

There is no denying the fact that
President Cleveland now receives very
strong support from public journals

say concerning him or his Administers
ton. They like his economic ideas and
are bold in expressing their approba-
ton, believing that the interests of the
people would be vastly promoted by
the policy Mr.. Cleveland recommends
to Congress. Here is one paper say
ing: 1.-The tariff reform which the
President urges goes so far. ut least,
as the abolition or reduction of the
duties on raw materials. Should Con-
gress give effect to this proposal. its
immediate result would be an enor-
nous Stimulus to cur industries"
Fully as vigorous an Endorsement
is the following from another
paper, which, by the way. is
any thing but Democratic: 1.-The
President proposes radical reduc-
ties in the duties on raw materials, or
even their free importation. as way
of compensating manufacturers for the
sacrifice which they are asked to make.
The free importation of iron, coal and
wool would be great boon; if it were
accompanied with reductions in the
tariff upon cotton. wooden and other
u.nufac tures the artisans of this conn.
try would derive marked benefit
from it," Picking up another leading
journal We find this opinion in its
editorial columns: If the Presidents
policy shall be carried out We may
look to an impetus being given to our
home trade that will so far to make

they were every winter threatened with
this dire calamity to greater or less
extent ARE grossly exaggerated. They
may have pinch or two each win
ter during the prevalence of lcng-con-
tinued stormy weather. and every five
or six years they have to so through a
siege of real hardship. which most ac-
counts would make us believe to be the
usual state of affairs in the arctic vim
ter. Another error is that the Eskimo
make no provision for winter; and
while they are far from provident they
are not wholly wanting in this virtue.
and doubt not in the least that if we
were to have the siege of weather that
usually bring on such calamities with
them we would fare but little better.
Unite about four Dakota billiards with
couple of Kansas cyclones, and then
give it the persistency of the American
office-seeker, and one can have faint
idea of the weather the Eskimos some
times have to deal with. All their
cases of privation arise from protracted
stormy winter weather, and stormy
winter weather here would be balmy
| zephyr there. When the food supply
of an Eskimo village is reduced to that
point where physical weakness ensues
among the members the distribution of
it among the people is no longer
equal. The good, able-bodied hunt
ers among them still receive from
the amount enough to keep them
in strength, and when this is no
longer sufficient to go around among
all of them the better of these even yet
are on full rations until it gets down to
the best hunter, who is kept in good
physical condition until the last NOR
sci disappears. l do not want the read
er to infer that. with the beginning of
this arrangement of distributing food.
all issues to the weaker people. as the
women and children. are stopped: they
are only proportionally curtailed.
Cruel as it may seem at first sight to
take the food from the mouths of weak
women and crying children and give it
to strong men, there is undoubtedly
much to be said in its favor from a
strictly practical, unsentimental point.
as there are very few persons, or ut
least oHe person-and that person the
best one-fully ready to take advantage
of the weather's change and procure
food if it be at all procurable. when,if all
were physically weak with the equal
but small amounts given them. the best
hunters might not be able to procure
food at once, and this would be fatal if
the cessation of the storm were only a
temporary one. All of the Eskimo of
my acquaintance could narrate in
stances where this plan had saved VIII
lagos or parts of them that would have
wholly persisted by any otler.-Free'er-

sLEsr IN BLESSING.

The uttered wish, or beaming look,
More than the wish revealing
On that glad morn when rill and brook
Were singing while. congealing;
And into every shady nook
Some sunbeam would be stealing
The busy hours so blythely spent
On souvenir and token.
Perchance across the wide sea sent
To prove old vows unhroken.
With this new test sweet toll had lent
When no word could be spoken
All this was prelude TO the Song
OF bliss in blessing others.
So strange unto the selfish throng
Whose greed its music smothers-
But by the cradle lingering long
In lullaby of mothers.
Grand noble lives the song have sung
Who found its glad frci:ion
The poor and low;y ones among,
Though regal their condition:
While sweet as roses lavish flung
Came thanks for their loved mission
There is a bliss which gold doth buy,
Though from the rock hard r1ven-
The prize for which. meath every Sky,
Men have through ages striven:
But-oliss in blessing bringeth nigh
The bicssedness Of Heaven.
