While no one who knows Governor
Mellette for i moment believes that

Prenatal Influences.

The world is not yet aroused to the i'm
portanee of prenatal influences upon the
child. The condition OF the mothers mind
during the few months preceding its birth
is almost controlling factor in determn-
ing the mental status of the child in after
life. Scarcelysany regard is paid TO this
by mothers, or even by physician The
attention OF the public is seldom called TO
this subject Of paramount interest.
Stockmen are greatly concerned in the
best methods Of improving horses. cattle
and even dogs, but children, who are to
govern the world, are allowed to come in.
to existence at hap-lazard, with no regard
paid TO the influences of heredity or envi.
ronment The result is that, while the
breeds Of poultry, dogs, cattle, sheep and
all manner OF domesticated animals are
rapidly approaching perfection, men, wom-
.en and Children make little ii any progress

towards perfect physical ami mental
organization. Those who breed
the trotting horse expect that
every generation of horses will be superior
to their sires. The most careful scrutiny
is given to the mixing of different strains
OF blood. a deficiency in any respect is
provided for by appropriate crossing OF
breeds. This has been done for hundred
generations, until the we'll bred horse of
to-day is a beauty, but its owner will very
likely give scarcely thought to the child
that is soon to be born to him, to see that
all the elements that enter into that child S
life, the nourishment that it receives, its
nervous supply. and all the influences
which go to form that soul, body and mind
be such as to achieve the best results. He
does not understand that all the factors
that combine to make the everyday life of
the mother, enter into the formation of the
being of the child. II beautiful child is
desired, letthe mother, during its pre- natal
life, be surrounded by beautiful portraits
and pleasing pictures; If yon wish the child
to be Geyout, or with mathematical or
poetieal mind. let the mind of the
mother at this period specially and largely
dwell upon the subject with which she de-
sires to impress the mind of the child.
There is scarcely doubt but that in this
way, parents of the PLANES features can
obtain the most beautiful children, and
that the child mind can be bent in almost
any direction, and people of very inferior
minds can have children greatly superior
to their parents in any given direction to
which attention has been paid.

4 GuestiOn For Wen.

Rev. Charles G.. Ames said, at the recent
annual meeting of the New England Wo-
man Suffrage Association
''Woman suffrage is really 4 mans ques-
ton as we'll as woman's question. Men
should be interested in if, for man should
associate with his equals if he wishes to
preserve his dignity as a man, just as it is
important for States, if they would hold
commercial relations with other nations,
to have the latter as highly civilized as
mans dignity, but an intelligent selfish
ness on the part OF men would demand that
their companions shonld be their equals in
order that their society may be enjoyable.
A friend Of mine says that his pet aversion
is a strong minded woman. If had any
aversion Of that sort it would be for a
weak-minded woman. | have never yet
discovered what degree of weak -mindedness
is necessary to the making Of a companion
able woman for 4 man of my friends opin-
ions, by the way.
'AIen never will be wise till they have
been fools forever says Festus; and if
this is true it implies a good deal of wait
ing on your part. You will remember that
group by Rogers which represents wom-
an waiting with more or less patience,
while the slow postmaster inspected every
detail Of the letter which she knew was for
her have often thought that this repre-
sants the position Of man towards women
in political affairs. A right Withheld is a
wrong inflicted. And when an acknowl-
edged right is still withheld it becomes an
outrage, crime, a dishonor. | can only
say in our defence that men are so slow,
and you women are so quick. The trouble
is that tradition is so strong with u.s. and
the love of power is characteristic of both
men and women. But men mean we'll
You may have heard of the man whose
employer gave him a certificate of good
character which stated he was honest in
dustrious, and sober. Cant you
make that little stronger ?" asked
the man; ''can't you say that | am fray

quently' mean well, we believe. Amcri-
can men are really pretty good sort after
all. 4 foreign-born lady told my wife
that America had the ''best oysters, best
dentists, best pianos and best husbands in
The world'' and we hope you agree with
her. America does not apply its own
principles Of freedom and equality. Wo-
man suffrage is infolded by implication
in existing and accepted principles A
wcll-known judge has said the right to
own property implies the right TO legislate
concerning that property. All arguments
for free Institutions at all are arguments
for woman suffrage, and all such argu-
ments rest on an insecure basis till they
are made to apply to all, as a chair is not
well supported if it stands on only two or
three legs, instead Of four.
There is an apocryphal saying of Christ S
that the millennium would come when
men and women should meet together and
should forget that they were men and
women. There is a deep truth in this say

of st. Paul, there is ''neither bond nor

the Canatical Maslem, the heather Chinee
and the dwellers beyond the sea, do these
good people (intent on eyangelizing the
world purpose to give over the task and
conclude that missionary work does
not fulfill its mission? We rather think
not. but are sure that year after year they
will buckle to the work. more earnest than
before, aud this too in spite of the fact that
hundreds, even thousands, of protesting
christians have bnt small faith in its value
as a christianizing agent, when the expend-
iture of time aud money be connected with

Patrick Gayan Duffy, one Of the Judges
of the Circuit Court in New York, in
touching on the efficacy of the law in re-
claiming criminals, incidentally remarks:
Every year millions are expended for the
conversion of moral and we'll behaving
Buddhists, Moslems, Brahmins and Con-
fncians. who would be unexpectedly bet
tered if they were converted, which they
never are, which might and would convert
thousands of savages in this city who are
fiercer. wickeder and worse than any
heather known. The most horrible tale
of paganism never eqGaled the case of The
People against Smith in my own court, in
which a Christian-American so-called, was
convicted of having rubbed fuming nitric
acid in the arms of little boys in order to
increase their value as beggars by having
the limbs rot off in the presence Of the pub
lie. What is needed is the regular vista
tion of the poor and suffering. the improve
ment in living quarters. the reduction OF
rents to conform with the reduction oil
wages that has gone on during the past
decade and a greater care and scrutiny oy-
er the training and nurture Of the child.
And yet does any one suppose that be-
cause of the apparent failure OF mission
work to reclaim the heathen that its promo
ters will throw uptheir hands, and say s'oh.
we'll, it has been true so long and with so
small results, suppose We place the heather
under ban and regulate the system of idol
worship by plan of taxation or high li-
cense?" Give them restricted privilege
of idol worship say. What roaring farce
that would indeed be, and how ridiculous.
Christian people purpose nothing of the
kind, but will continue their work on the
old line and trust the Lord for results.
Can Prohibitionists do less? Who else
can suggest a better plan than total and
eternal prohibition? And If it don't come
Immediately should any one lose faith in
its coming To your tents, oh Israel.
