A member of Methodist church
"raised row." "stirred up quite a
breeze" by objecting to theatrical
exhibition gotten up in the interest
of the church finances. He was 'a
prominent member" and insisted
that the show was not suitable for a
religious body, and if such perfor.
mances were persisted in he must
withdraw. Hence the breeze. But
where would he go? The thing is
common-too common. And the
argument which was launched at the
"prominent" .objector by a lady Is
simply unanswerable in tine minds of
a good many: at put over hundred
dollars into the church treasury"

hundred dollars can condene for Is a

The Woman,s Exchange.

The New York Exchange for Wom-
ans Work has been in existence
eleven years land its growth and pros
perity have been steady and contin-
ued. 1t is the pioneer Of such enter
prises, and not only has it become
successful itself, but can now count
up sixty-four exchanges in different
parts of this country and Canada
which have been modelled after it and
have started out with the same by
laws.
The object of the exchange has been
from the first to aid impoverished
gentlewomen, who through misfor-
tune have been obliged to become
bread winners. There are now 1900
names of consignors enrolled on its
books, and it has paid out to these
consignors, whose numbers steadily
increase, almost million dollars, be
sides the salaries paid to its employees
at its rooms, No. 329 Fifth avenue.
There are now fifteen gentlewomen
employed at the rooms, and these re-
ceive better salaries and better treat
ment than women in similar positions
in the city shops. The hours of work
are the same, but the conditions are
infinitely better, and each one is given
months leave of absence on salary
during the summer
The consignors, as the women who
offer work for sale are called, have a
most kindly 'middleman, for this is
precisely the position the exchange oc-
cupies. Its affairs are managed by a
board of forty women, divided into va
rious subcommittee. Although the
exchange conducts its business on a
business, not a charitable, basis, it is
not wholly self supporting. The rea-
son is that it has steadily refused to
charge more than 10 per cent. com
mission for the sale of goods, rate at
which merchant would expect to
face insolvency in six months.
Although desirable, self support is
not held TO be the most important work
of the exchange. That is the opening
of market for the work of needy wo-
men, without grinding down the
worker, as is done by the slop cloth
ing shops; to give each consignor a
chance to sell her work at a living
price fer her labor.-Agnes B. Orms.

A Tale with a Moral.

'Some young fellows" said Gen.
George A. Sheridan, were telling
stories and having a hilarious time.
An old gentleman sat a little apart,
and seemed unable to join in their
merriment. He was rallied on his
moroseness and requested to tell a
story.
az don't know any stories in your
vein, my young friends, said he, but
will relate a little incident with a
moral. There was once little bird.
He had flown about all one long, cold
day trying to find something to eat.
But his search had been complete
failure, and late in the afternoon he
flew home, weak and disconsolate,
and climbed feebly onto his perch,
about ready to drop with fatigue and
hunger. He was nearly ready to drop
when he detected dead sheep which
Providence had placed over in the
bushes. He climbed down from his
perch, hoped over and managed to
climb up on the sheep. There he
pecked and pecked and pecked away
until his little craw was filed with
nutritious, if unsavory, food. Then
he felt much better. He tapped his
wings and hoped nimbly about, and
finally flew back to his perch. Then
his little throat swelled with gratitude
and he sang all the songs he knew and
tried to sing several he didn't know,
when a hunter came along, leveled
his gun and shot him.
1.-The old gentleman seemed to have
finished his story. But the moral
What is the moral2' asked the young
man.
The moral, my young friend, is:
If you will eat carrion, don't crow
over it. '"-Washington Post.

Sunday he had only two trains on his
division, an express train westward

hard work to keep awake. He knew
that as soon as he made the meeting
point for the two trains he could doze,
and he impatiently awaited the time.
When the trains were close enough to-
gether for him to figure a meeting
point he sent an order to the passenger
train to meet and pass the stock train
at little station called Willow Val

To the stock train he sent an order
that it could have until / :25 to make

hence gave the stock train thirty-fve
minutes more time than he should.
Bill saw his mistake ten minutes after
he had made it, but there being no tel
egraph station between the points
where the trains were given the orders
or at the meeting point, he could do
nothing to rectify it. He sent for the
superintendent and ordered out the

pale as death, the cold perspiration
running down his face in streams,
awaiting news of the collision.
