related of this same Cretan, that he had
so completely secured the favor OF the
Persian King that toe latter invited him
TO banquet Of the royal family, an hon

Here is another custom of the Ancients
and one IN which we can see the origin
of Cur menu cards. Each guest, as soon
as ne had settled upon his couch, was
handed paper upon which was written
the name of every article to be served at
the feast and in the order in which it
was to be served-a convenient, if not an
in dis pensable custom; indeed, in the
present day we would be apt to look up
on the omission as barbaroUs, for what
could be more so than to keep man of
moderate gastronOmjc capacity in igno-
rance of some coming delioacy, and thus
allow him, in the dark, to crowd it out
with some previous dish or dishes, which
he may tolerate rather than fancy.

be competed for by the students Of that institu-
ton, was aNar5st tex Miss Edith S. Sheffield q. the
Senior class. There were more than score of

strong argument in favor Of coeducation of the

AN instructive pamphlet on the reclamation of
inebriates has just been published in London by
Mrs. l. Oste, in which she states that the percent
AGE of cures is about 80. With regard to the ale
cation that inebriate women are more difficult to
cure than men, Mrs L 'Oste says; II have heard
a clever medical man say that it was impossible to
ever permanently cure woman. My experience

LIFE insurance for women, which has always
looked upon so unfavoraby by insurance compa-
MES, is gradually growing in favor. 'The Daugh-
tiers of Pocahontas' is the name Of a mutual ben
eft association among the female shoe operatives
of Massachusetts, patterned after organizations of
that nature belonging to the men.
New York has an insurance company whose
president secretary and incorporators are all wom-
en- and who finds its business principally among
women who are self-supporting and have others
dependent upon them.
1t had been supposed always that the dangers
attendant upon women were much greater than
men. and she therefore was not desirable risk.
Statistics show, however, that woman's chances OF
life at any age are better than mans. Chila-bear-
ing and unhealthfu clothing together do not work
the dire results of tobacco and liquor to man, to-
gether with his exposure to outside dangers.
Statistics this subject carry little point with
them that requires no udex finger to travel with it.

We find among the sgners mentioned Lady
Stanley Lady Frederick Cavendish, Lady Churchill
and the Duchess of St. Adams, and Judging the
others by those we should like to ask America,
what possible interest those ladies of fashion, wealth
and aristocratc standing can have in common
with the oyerworked women and their sympathizers
who are now demanding the ballot in our republic?
Does America for a momeut suppose that these
ladies', like the many eolored, gorgeous butterfly,
that adds charm to our bright sunshiny days, but
shrinks and hides from the lowering clouds, can
have any feeling in common with the workers in
the hives of life. No; their sympathes, like their
Lives, are far apart. If necessary, we will admit
that the ballot in their hands would do no good,
and would only be prevented from doing harm by
the paucity of their numbers. What can those
representatives of wealth and fashion know of the
trials, privations and temptations which at every
step confront those workers who are struggling to
perform their duties in t9ose Especial paths" which
those ladies are willing to allow them to follow.
As well might you interview the man who had fur
nished substitute in our civil war to instruct you
in the duties of soldier. One of this class said
he ''fought and bed and died for the starry flag
and his bones had enriched the soil of Tennessee
but upon investigation it was found the bones rep
resented those of his colored substitute. So it is
with these noble ladies' they do their duties and
raise their families by proxy; they lack not only
the pains, but the pleasures of life as represented
in the hives. But what change has come over
to follow the advise and example of these foreign
ers. Can it be possible that after denouncing the
inhabitants of one side of the British channel it
should jump over to the other side and advocate
English influences. To outsiders it appears that
America has dropped her mask, and that the bitter
crusade against other nationaites has degenerated
into fight for ''caste." We intend to pick up her
discarded club, and WELD it in defense of our ma
tionalty, and call upon American women to "stand
on guard" Even now she is doing it, for is not
our recognized guardian, the Goddess Of Lber-
ty," woman? And we advise her to keep
good stock Of oil on hand and her lamp we'll
trimmed, that she may guard we'll our portals
against this foreign influence.

with both sexes tends to prove that the average of
cures is about equal. Women are physically weak
er, and require more strengthening and individual
care than men, but they are certainly more easily
managed in homes, as more suitable employments
and interests be found for them, and once more
having taken the decisive stcpof leaving their own
homes, they are more readily persuaded to stay q
sufficiently long period to gain strength for the flu
ture."
1t is right here that the police matron's work
comes in, and the office is deserving of the position
of great Importance in the estimation of good
people which it holds. There are so few hands
in fact no hand at ALTO be outsretched to the
miserable woman who has become the wretched
victim of an appetite for stimulants. There are
No friends to call carriage and take her home;
no one at home to remove her apparel and then to
believe in her after the remorsefu tears are shed and
she begins to sober up. There is the calaboose,
the courtroom and the work-house, and after that
a virtuous community 10 plant its foot on the back
of her neck and bid her lie in the gutter where she
belongs.
The writer said to the good matron at Little
Rock, Mrs. Harris: sTe me Of one of your ex-
perlences and Of Some one whom you have helped.
The occasion was one Of the Gays OF the W. G. I.
U. State convention at which Miss Willard pre-
sided, and we stood in the church parlors In one
of the doorways stood tidy-looking mulatto wom-
an, and to her the kindly matron pointed. "There
is Lena; ask her. Lena hasn't been sober in four
years till three weeks ago she was brought to me
by the officers, and she hasn't drank drop since.
She's as smart as she can be- she has done all the
work here. She's not going to do wrong any more.
If she falls again, I'm her friend and shall pick
her up again, but she's not going to fall; is she
Lena?" this turning to the girl
"Not as long as / can keep hold of your skirts,
Mrs. Harris" replied the girl. The matron, with
her sweet motherly face, framed with wavesiLof
snow white hair, smiled approvingy toward her,
and when heard two weeks after that Lena had
been dragged into the station drunk I-SSnew she
would find sorrowing friend who would help her
to begin again. to forgive the second time out OF
the seventy times seven allotted to weak, erring
humanity.
The degradation to which drunken creature,
whether male or female approaches, is appalling be-
yond description, and it is because there is no one
at home to receive the woman, no one to forgive,
no one to kindle tiny spark Of sef-respect, that
she falls so ow and then society frowns-yes,
thunders-against her so much more than
drunken man, that her case is considered hope
less one and science pronounces against her. May
the choicest Of heavens blessings rest on the po-
lice matron.
