IN W0MAN'S BEHALF.
WOMAN'S SPHERE.

"Kccp to your sphere" said the liquor men,
AT home is a womans place
Take care Of your children cook and sew,
And cherish your wOmany grace
These forward women who war on US
Disgrace themselves and their sex;
Plungins in filthy politics,
The peace 0! the land they yen.
80, gentle mother sit still at homo,
And Groom to your baby boy,
While monster turks in the street without
Waiting his chance to destroy.
Soon as those little feet can pass
Out of the garden gate,
He'll be fair prey; but sit you still,
Sing him to sleep. 'Tis fate.
Love and cherish your winsOme girl,
Train up the fair, sweet life
70 every pure and gentle charm
BETTING the drunkards wife.
Make her so fair and sweet and wise
She will win some careless love
So pure that drunken stab or shot
VIII only send her above.
What, dropping your song, and starting out
With eyes and heart atire,
md striving. with your soft, white hands,
To throttle the monster dire?
Why not? The hare for the young will fght
The tiny bird grows wild
Defending his nest; and dare you thin
A woman cares less for her child?
Yes, home is woman's truest spher
Its spoicr her dcadlest foe;
II viper coil by your sleeping child,
Is the gentlest too mild for blow?
Because you are womanly, tender and true,
And your home is your chosen sphere,
Fight, fight as for life, If you shrink or fail
You may lose all life holds dear.

PUBLISHED WEEKLY.

instances have occurred of those who
have prepared themselves against great
odds for work outside the prescribed
lines. They had to work far harder to
attain their purposes than men. and the
praise accorded them has too often been
embittered by unjust ASPIRATIONS.
Nevertheless, through them has come
the proof that certain things could be
accomplished by women, and the evil
donce thus shown has carried stimula-
tion and encouragement to other women
to an extent simply incalcuable. Tho
sex owe it to these pioneers thatit is no
longer necessary for women to marry
for other considerations than the high
est and purest; nor for mothers to re-
gret that all their children are not boys.
Head and hand education now offer the
means of employment to girls and boys
alike, and honorable occupation makes
life fully as interesting TO maids as to
matrons.
But there are still antagonistic Opin-
ions Of public, rooted in carly preju-
dices, to be met These oppose the in
dependence of women, and by filling
their hearts with bitter sense Of in
justice makes unequal, and sometimes
unwomanly, growth that would other
wise be noble and symmetrical. The
British artists declare that only one
woman in long period of years has
shown herself capable Of such work as
would entitle her to membership in tho
academy. The nature of the tribunal
entities this Judgment to very little
weight, when it is remembered that
artists, noted in their day. whose names
are fast fading into oblivion, were in tho
habit Of speaking superciliously Of the
claims of Rosa BOnhour to distinction,
and that her sun is still climbing to its
zenith. 1t bchOoyeS readers to weigh
artists opinions Of contemporary work
carefully. If true, this assertion Of the
British artists only proves how much
moro necessary it is that all possible
means Of study should be open to women
since, by their nature and perception, it
is now clear that they are destined 10
become artists in the full sense Of the
term.

Another hydriatic method, which acts
by removing the cause of disturbance
is the slipping of hot water an hour be-
fore meals, in dyspepsia. The hot-water
craze, which now has taken firm hold
upon the lay public, is but the leglti'
mate outcome of valuable therapeutic
application of water whose simplicity
commends it at once to the Judgment OF
the intelligent physician. Brought into
prominence by Dr. Salisbury, who COM
mitted the error of most enthusiasts OF
regarding it as panacea for most dis
eases, it has now been adopted by the
profession as most valuable agent III
MANY gastric troubles. By removing
the products of fermentation, by cleans
inc the mucous membrane of mucus, 1t
restores tone and vigor to the gastric
lining, and enables the natural forces to
come into play. 1t is important to OBJ
serve strict compliance with the rule
laid down by the originator, viz; that
tn water should be slipped as hot as pos
sible. and that an hour should elapse be-
fore n meal is taken Examples of fail
ures due to neglect of this rule are n'l-
merous in the experience Of medical

termlned to shed no blood unless il
should be absolutely necessary, as wo
were anxious to be on friendly terms
with our black neighbors.
The station was in the center of A
clearing, so that no one could approach
1t without being seen. In little while
we saw in the moonlight mass of dark
hgurcS crossing the open space to the
south, and, Judging by the ground they
covered, there We're at least a hundred
OF them. They advanced quietly about
halfway across the clearing. and then
come forward at a run, while they filled
the air with yells.
Ihey were armed with spears and
boomerangs and as soon as they came
within reach Of the building they flung
their spears at it-a very foolish per-
tormance, as the weapons could do no
harm against the thick sides of the
structure. We made no indication of
our presence, and this cmboldened the
fellows 50 that they rushed up close to
the building and began to dance in front
OF it, all the time keeping up their
frighffnl yells.
Bring me rocket" said to Chat
ham, who was nearest to me.
lie brought the rocket, and | fixed it
so that it would go just above the heads
of the crowd of yelling blacks. Then !
touched match to the fuse, and away
the rocket sailed through the air.
The fellows had never seen any thing
of the kind before, and to say they we're
taken by surprise is to express it very
mildly. They could not have been
more astonishcd if the moon had fallen
among them, and with one veil more
unearthly than all the others that pre-
cedcd it, they fled to the forest with
the speed of drove Of frightened an
telopes. They ran for miles, not even
daring to stop at the place where thcir
was held.
We saved the station and ourselves
without shedding drop Of blood. 1t
was reported far ard wide that we had
shot star" at them, and we took
pains to make it known that we had
power to bring sun, moon and stars to
our aid at any time we wanted them

CHINESE HUMANITY.



The great officials of Chino h"'y,o- -"l'
scholars of the Kingdom, are able to
write their proclamations in the most
approved style, and often drop into
poetry" in formal state documents.
This official poetry is not rhymed, but
is kind of sixsyllabled blank verse.
The Governor Of Ningpo, one of the
most beautiful and picturesque, as well
as one Of the most learned, of Chinese
cities, has recently issued very inter
eSting proclamation Of this sort. 1t il
addressed to the farmers upon the ricL
plains about Ningpo, which are famous
in the history of Chinese agriculturo,
and a very humane and delightful proc
lamation it is, 1t runs as follows:
Frogs are produced in the midst Of
your fields; although they are little
things, they are small human beings in
form.
"They cherish lifelong attachment
to their native SOIL and at night they
mclodiously sing in concert with sweet
voices. Moreover, they protect your
ClUpS DI SdIlit5 lOtuoto, llluo oCoCl tlIt5
the gratitude of the people.
''Why go after dark with lanterns,
scheming to capture the harmless and
useful creatures? Although they may
be nice tlavoring for your rice, it is
heartless to tay them. Henceforward
it is forbidden to buy or sell them, and
those who do so will be severely pun
ishcd.
"Sparrows, too, sing at their season
sweetly in the trees. They are not like
wolves, tigers or leopards, which may
take to injuring men when they grow
large. Why go out with nets to catch
them from the hills and woods?
"Know that for the strong to slay the
feeble for food is the way of wild beasts
and rapacious birds. Resist the desire
Of your mouths and stomachs for savore
meats, and thus act in harmony with |
Heaven, which loves to preserve life.
Both these kinds of creatures you
ire forbidden TO catch henceforth. Do |
1ot fatter yourselves that after this |
warming the punishment for diSobedl'
,nce will be mild. ."-Youth's Companion,

WOMEN IN ART.
They Are Destined to Take Rank with Men
in the Profession.

Looking back, and not so very far
either, we see chat little by little women
have won their places in the different
branches of art, as in various profess
sions and occupations the world over.
1t is safe to say now, says the Boston
Herald, they may do almost anything
they can do Women have taken the
stand to which they are entitled, that
of individuals How much they have
suffered from being considered as a sex
merely, fit only for maternal and domes-
tic duties, who can tell! Talent knows
no sex, but it is unlike genius in that it
may be crushed out. No doubt the
women, as well as men, are innumerablc
who. for lack of opportunity, have suf-
fared themselves to do badly for life
time tasks for which they had neither
tasta nor training. OF course, single

How the Mink Catches Fish,

While engaged in geological work on
the Cedar river Iowa, my attention was
attracted bya mink engaged in fishing
for her young. On the ripplcs in the
center of the stream, where the water
was not more than two feet in depth,
was a fat bowlder rising a few inches
above the surface. On this rock the
mother mink took her position, and
watched for small fish to approach, when
she would dive into the water, be gone
for moment and reappear usually with
fish in her mouth which she would
deposit in the center of the stone, stop
ping its struggles by quick, sharp
bite back of tho head. The process was
repeated until seven fish were deposited
On the rock. Then, taking one of them
in her mouth, she swan to the shore.
climbed the steep bank, and ran hastily
to her young in burrow under an old
stump.-C. L. Webster.

The Russian Government has made

President Harrison signed the
Tariff Bill nj 3:22 p. M, Oct. lst.
A resolution 10y Mckinley was
passed for q joint committee to in
form the President that Congress
was ready to adjourn.
The conference report on the Ia
riff Bill was adopted by 80 to %.
Only three Republicans voted
against the bill. Allison, in reply
to Gibson, said il it were true that
all Louisiana planters spurned the
bounty and denounced it, and de-
clared it unconstitutional, they
might find Congress that would
take them at their word.
The conference report adopted
provides n bounty Of two cents n
pound for domestic sugar not less
than 90 degrees polariscope test,
and II cents for that between 50
and 90 degrees test. Imported SUI
gar up to 16 Dutch standard is free
of duty. All sugars above l6 Dutch
standard will pay duty of five
tenths of one cent a pound, ano
onc-tenth of cent additional il
from q country that pays bounty
on the expectation of such sugar
: greater than is paid on sugar of
lower saccharine strength. Maclin
, erv for making beet sugar is to be
, imported duty free. The confer
ence fixed on April lst for the su
,, gar schedule and bounty provision
to go INTO effect.
The reciprocity section may b
put into effect by proclamation iron
Q and after July |, 1892. This give
fifteen months absolute free trad

cannot apply against any sugar pro
