RELIGIOUS MATTERS.
A PRECIOUS GIFT.

Lord, who hast done all things for me,
What have now to offer Thee?
Thou knowest my daily bread is won
Only by toll from sun to sun;
Yea, that when suns are long time set
Belated travellers look upon
The lamp that lights me, toiling yet.
Others with full hands to Thy shrine
Have brought sneIr corn and oil and wine
INTO Thy treasury have paid
Their gold and silver duly weighed.
Two mites, two mites, and nothing more,
Have I, down hearted and afraid,
To add, o Masteri to Thy store.
"Wilt Thou despise me, Lord, for these?"
/ ask Him, trembling, on my knees;
And sweet, sweet as the suns warm light
After chill darkness of the night,
His answer came: "Her gift so small
Is the most precious in Gods sight,
Because she freely gave her ALL"
Now welcome, want and poverty,
That show the grace of God to me;
And, heart, go slnging-for the word
That all Thy depths o-day has stirred,
Still thrilling from the voice divine,
Down the long ages shall be heard,
And lift up other souls than mine!

women graduated. Then the opponents
made new attack. The board Of visit.
ors, in 1877, thought the health Of the
young women deteriorated in tho
university; they were deeply Impress
ed with the appearance of ill-health,"
which, in their opinion, was caused by
undue mental strain.
The discussion of the subject brought
out the fact that the record of excuses
kept by the president showed that the
number of absences on account Of ILL
health was relatively greater among the
young men than among the young wom-
en-; and more than this, it was shown
that the absence of the young women
were almost exclusively in the lower
classes, while those Of the young men
were evenly distributed through the en-
tire course.

GIRL STUDENTS.
Their Influence Upon the Standard o
Culture In Universities.

Their Influence Upon the Standard of
Culture In Universities.
The fact that girl students will not
harm university, nor the university
harm the girl students, has been mat
ter of controversy in the history of near
ly every leading educational institu-
ton. A pamphlet published by the
Bureau of Education entitled Higher
Education in Wisconsin" gives an ac-
count of the effort that was required to
secure equal opportunities for women in
the State University.
The first Legislature of Wisconsin
made provision for the establishment Of
the Wisconsin University, but not until
1856 or 81 did the question of admitting
women trouble the university author
tiles. Up to that date no woman had
been thought of in connection with the
university, but in taking steps toward
normal training it was evident that
women teachers would seek instruction
in the art of teaching. AS soon as a
normal department was opened, which
was accomplished in 1868, seventy-six
women at once took advantage of the OPP
portunity. After two years the faculty,
in 1865, reported:
''The faculty are of the opinion that
the normal department has made the
university more useful institution,
during the past three years, than it
would have been. 1t is not, however, to
be disguised that among many former
students of the university, and among
leading ones now in the institution,
there has been strong feeling of oppo-
sition to the department, mainly on the
ground of its bringing females into the
university.
1t was feared that the STANDARD of
culture" would be lowered. but the fac
ulty endeavored to allay the alarm by
declaring that there had been no such
''mingling of classes in the higher and
more reconcile subjects as to render this
possible, even if it would be the result"
When the normal department was es-
tablished, it was intended that women
taking the three years course in that
department should enjoy substantially
the fail privileges of the university, and
in ISL the three years term was ex.

1t is clear that the saloon is form Of

how much money saloon must take in

saloons in the city; multiply this in
turn by the 1865 days in the year, and
you will have before you the sum wasted

that the saloons prevent the earning OF
nearly as much money by destroying
the capacity for work. The drunkard

WHAT is WANTED.
A Demand by Women for Equal Pay for

Equal Work.
Said Susan B. Anthony in recent
speech: "What we want in the world of
work is not that women be allowed to
do this or to do that, but that they may
get the same pay that men get for doing
the same work. The trades and profess
sions are practically open to women
now. Medicine and law both have wom-
en- practitioners. Elizabeth Blackwell
was the first woman doctor in this coun-
try. She graduated at the head of her
class in Geneva College, yet on the day
after her graduation the faculty voted
to admit no more women. Now, all over
the country women are practicing medi-
cine and doing the work of killing or
curing, as the case may be. There has
been the same change in the trades, in
official employment, and in the depart
ments at Washington. But as rule
women receive only two-thirds of mems
salaries. When was in Kansas found
a woman superintendent of schools with
man assistant. The woman received
81, 900 and the man $500. l wept for joy.
But that was rare exception.
"When men elect women superintend,
ents of schools, as the law allows them
to do, they do so because by electing
women they can get better talent fol-
less money. And in all the States,
much of the old injustice Of the common
law is still in force. Everywhere hus

false teeth made. The dentist declared
them a fit, but the woman said they
were not fit, but on the contrary il
gave her fits to wear them. Well, the
husband went into court about it. The
lawyer tried to have the woman testify
but the Judge said no. A married
woman, he ruled, could not testify IL
