self, nor will it work well with anti
quated methods. Things move rap
idly these days. Methods that would
answer even five years ago may be of
little value today. New blood is
needed and a constant supply of it.
No delicacy or false modesty should
prevent our securing that much
needed article. 1t will send new life
into the whole body.
Third.-More organizing and evan
gelstic service in the field. Besides
live president, who should be every
where present SO far as mortal can
be, there should be half dozen
workers in the field, holding meetings
and organizing unions. If this work
is properly inaugurated, money will
flow into the treasury abundantly.
Five or ten thousand dollars is not
too much for great State like ours,
and instead of less than a hundred
there should be over thousand
unions.
rth.-More literature of the
right kind. The WoMAN's CHRONICLE
and the Union Signal should be in
every house in the State. No one
will long read these papers without
becoming interested III the work.
Let us at our next State Conven-
ton see to it that we are well equipped
for the fight, and then raise the stand
ard and on to victory.

What Do We Need in Arkansas?
1t is evident to the thoughtful that
we need something. 1t must be APP
parent to all that with a great State
fertile in resources, that our W. G. L.
U. does not make the showing it
should. A comparison with other
States would make this clear. Penn
sylvania raised over sixty thousand
dollars during last year. This, how
ever, was during an amendment cam
paign and is exceptional. Many of
the States count their unions by the
hundreds and have no lack of money.
Our State has less than one hun
bred unions, and the State officers
have not been paid in full for nearly
two years. Many States are so well
organized that they hold county con-
ventions IN nearly every county, that
in numbers and enthusiasm excel our
State convention.
What is the remedy?
First-Better financial methods.
Pledges should be secured by the
unions at the beginning of the year
to carry on the years work. Faith,
prayer and conservation on the part
of members is taken for granted.
Money, however, must be had, and
plenty of it should be secured. Ask
men to subscribe their five, ten,
twenty-five and hundred dollars for
the years work just as churches do.
Second.-Better executive manage
meut. No business will run of it.

Epoch.

The transition from long, lingering
and painful sickness to robust health
marks an epoch in the life of the in
dividual. Such a remarkable event is
treasured in the memory and the
agency whereby the good health has
been attained is gratefully blessed.
Hence it is that so much is heard in
praise of Electric Bitters. So many
feel they owe their restoration to
health to the use of the Great Alter
alive and Tonic. If you are troubled
with any disease of kidneys, liver or
stomach, of long or short standing
you will find relief by use of Electric
Btters. Sold at SOC and 81 per bot

And because the chief cornerstone
of the State is the hearthstone, we
also urge you to visit our colleges for
women, and we rejoice that you saw
at Ann Arbor, Mich, the chief of
our eo-educational universities where
women are trained for professional
life as well as drilled to habits of
scholarship, for it is, as you know,
the United States idea that home can
only come to its true dignity and
power when the wife and mother is
an equal partner in all that appertains
to the sacred interest of the larger
home of society and government.
The mothers and daughters of the
Republic, confederated by means of
our societies in ten thousand towns
and villages, send you their greeting.
Within a year your countries will all
be traversed by Mrs. Mary Clement
Leavitt, our "round-t he-world mis-
sionary," who has already invested
seven years in temperance work in
Australia, Asia, Africa and Europe.
She will tell your people of our total
abstinence pledge, of scientific tenn
perance instruction in the public
schools, work for prohibition-State
and national, and of our Woman's
Publishing House in Chicago, that
circulated 1870, 100000 pages in 1889.
We bespeak for Mrs. Leavitt the well
come that her mission of goodwill to
your homes will render certain if it is
only understood, and we pray that
God may crown with success the
three great movements of our time
which are fast passing out of the
hands of philanthropists and into
those of statesmen, VIZ: The tenn
perance, the woman and the labor
questions, all of which are equal
fractions of that one mighty whole
the human question.
Yours in the fight for clear brain,
and praying for the triumph Of uni
versal brotherhood.

HoNoRED BRoTHERs-The National
Woman's Christian Temperance
Union greeted your arrival in our ma
tive land with great goodwill, and
has watched your travels with pro-
found interest. We were glad that
the peaceful panorama of this Re-
public's material civilization was un-
rolled before you, and sorry that its
higher and more enduring forces
could not be equally displayed. We
read with regret of the almost con-
tinuous banquetings in which intoxi-
eating liquors held place so promi-
nent, for such customs are but relic
of European, and not an indigenous
feature of our Western civilization.
A distinguished Englishman returning
to his country after careful study of
our own, on being asked what he had
seen that was most unlike England,
answered, "The wineless dinner ia
bles of the great middle class" We
are glad that in the home of that
typical citizen of the United States,
Clement Studebaker, of Indiana, you
saw this most hopeful of our national
sights.
Life insurance statistics show that
the average longevity of the moderate
drinker is thirty five years and half,
while that of the total abstainer from
Intoxicating liquors is sixty-four
years.
A nation that has made the sale of
alcoholics crime against constitu-
tional or statutory law in seven of its
forty-two States, and by local enact
ments over nearly one-half of its
populated area, fails to illustrate its
distinctive national features when it
places Intoxicating liqeors before its
guests
As patriots, proud of our country
and devoted to its development we
desire to bring to your attention the
foregoing facts for the sake of those
beautiful countries south of us, the
interests of which are equally sacred
in your sight.
Hon. James G.. Blaine, our hon

The following extract from pri-
vate letter, written by delegate to
the National Suffrage Convention, is
very gratifying to the members of the
W. G. 7. U. in the State of Arkan-
sas, since it refers to their Core
spending Secretary:
"Mrs. Hart was much admired,
though she had so little time. She
was well received when she addressed
the convention.
The Springfield Mass Republican
gives its opinion of the W. c. T. U.
in these words: The Woman's Chris
tian Temperance Union is undoubted-
ly a considerable factor in the pres
ent confusion of political party lines.
1t is continually deepening public
sentiment against the liquor traffic.
This has thrown the Republican party
into confusion, for while one wing of
the party is ready and willing to stoop
lower than they already have to
placate the saloonkeepers, the other
holds this tendency in check, and the
party is between two fires. Saloon
men vote against it because of its
temperance principles, and temper
ance republicans are ready to leave
it if it does not assume more pro-
nounced attitude; and in the mean
time the temperance union women
work on.

Artistic Furnishings.

"One of tho most essential points In
furnishing" remarked careful house

and that will not soon 90 out OF style.
This, of course, is ON the supposition
that you do not propose to change your
carpets with every slight change of
fashion, but may desire to practice a
perfectly comfortable economy. Good
wearing quality and good taste do not
necessarily mean that the carpet must
be expensive. In choosing, take subdueL
colors-neither extremely light nor
Oakland small patterns are best in
the long run. Then come the curtains,
which are very important, because you
have to think not only Of interior but
also of exterior effects. When curtains
and carpets are bought, if your means
are moderate, you can then buy your
furniture slowly. adding to it carefully,
redressing aud covering old furniture,
thus economizing as much as you
please"
Tapestries and ingrains seem to be
the best carpets for people of modcr-
ate means; and now that all grades of
them are so beautiful in design and
colorlngs, the housekceper of refined
taste, though not wealthy, can easily
crafty them i'll this direction.
Among curtains, especially among
the richer fabrics, there is n great deal
of brocStie, and the flowers are quite
rs apt to be overshot as woven into the
goods. Old roses and pink tints are
much used this season, and they COM
bine finely with grays and browns. In
colors there is nothing better for wear
and good general effect than Madras.
1t comes forth this season as popular

been added. One handsome Madras
