4 HoMAN,s CHARMS.

The Rev. DR.. Morgan Dix has had
a great deal TO say in his new work,
"Lsntsn Lectures about the per-
sonal attractions Of woman, and Ia
msnts that they give more thought to
thsss charms than to tho salvation OF
their souls. Perhaps the reverend
gentleman is right, but it is exceed
ingly doubtful, though we hesitate
about putting our judgment against his
own. He says n effect, that he un-
dsrstands woman. II this be so he
has not lived in vain, he stands apart
from other men, for he is the only ons
of US who has ever admitted so much.
But waving the question as to
whether or not woman does think less
of her soul, it is no reproach that they
should think great deal Of their per
sonal charms. In them i. their real
strength; with their help they can get .
hearing that would not otherwise be
given them; and thought coming
from woman, careful of her charms,
will be moro attentively listened to
than the same thought coming from
one who does not think 30 much OF
them. By her grace, her beauty and
her wit woman has ruled in the past
and by them she Will continue to rule.

4 NEW ROADWAY.

This is indeed an iron age and now
comes q proposition to build an iron
track on the highways Of tho country.
The Pennsylvania Legislature have
appointed special committee to in
quire into the prscticahility Of the
scheme. Tho idea is to lay broad,
concave iron track and pave between
with stone or gravel. 1t is to be in
the nature of sort of street car track.
The iron trenches will maks heavy
load much more easily haele, and it is
expected that this will solve the road
problem beautifully. Once laid it is
easily kept in order and it is said that
it is great Improvement over the
plank road.

It may be agoed thing for the farmer,

The latest of these efforts to redeem is Of
recent growth, but it promises to be a success
1t was brought about largely by the murder of
Officer Crippen and by the death of the two
colored men who were also concerned in that
startling tragedy. Mrs. Duffield, a well-to- do
widow lady prominent IN church and temper
ance matters, came to the conclusion that
something must be done by colored Christians
to help the especially sinful of
their race; something was necessary
to remove the stigma resting on the
dark-skinned residents of the national
capital. The result of q little thought
considerable consultation and much PRAYER
was the organization. on March 10
last OF the National Christian Association
That was a big name for a small number of
workers, but they were enthusiastic and be-
heved their society would grow: they were lay
ing foundation as broad and deep as possible
for other years than the present one. Ii was
distinctly understood at the outset that the
elevation of the HelPs Bottom colony was the
primary work. But Helrs Bottom did not want
to be elevated; it wanted to stay as near the
basement it could 1t objected to any force
that was simply moral and when the time came
it displayed Its feelings in a very annoying and
discouraging manner.
THE READING ROOM OPENED.
Simultaneous with the organization of the
association was the opening of u free reading
room for young colOred men. This was estab-
hshed in the front room of 1911 18th street
northwest. Immediately adjoining a place
known as the Forest City Hotel" Up to that
time there was such thing as a reading
room Of any description in alI the region round
about and for while it looked as though the
new venture could not last long, lantern
was placed in front of the room and on the
front glass was an invitation to all young men
TO avail themselves of the privileges Of the
reading room.

A Case of Somnolence.

From the Medical Record.
On March last was asked TO see an old
lady in Minneapolis, eighty-two years OF age,
who had enjoyed good health.
She was comfortable, lying in bed, pulse 30,
tongue clean and temperature normal The
following day when made my visit to her she
was sleeping, and as this was quite late a.-the
day, and she had slept all the time since Dad
seen her the day before. ! feared she had been
taking some narcotic. but of this there was no
other evidence save sleep. / saw her day after
day for three weeks. during which time she
continued to sleep day and night, constantly,
only when awakened 10 take some liquid nour-
ishment, ana then she would. perhaps, partly
answer a question and fall into a sweet and
apparently pleasant sleep. No abnormal con-
dition appeared present otherwise. When the
second week came on thought she would be
aroused more readily and at the end of the
third week she could be kept awake by talking
with her for perhaps an hour at a time in the
afternoon only. From this time on size gradu-
ally slept less and soon gained strength, her APP
petite returned and she was in a short time
around the house as usual
During this time of sleep the pulse and tenn
perature remained normal. When she came
out Of her sleep she was impressed that she
was in a hospital and could not reconcile her
surroundings with what she was accustomed to
while she had occupied the room in which she
had slept for q long time in the house Of her
daughter.

body in the house had birthday there was
SO much noise in the adjoining saloon one
evening that persons in the library were unable
TO hear each other speak. Members of drum
corps assisted in swelling the noise by ii tot

skins. The reading room continued to prosper
In spite of these interruptions, and it even
kept open when it was discovered that some of
the mlscreants had been in the room and had
scattered cayenne pepper all over the books
papers, furniture and floor. frequently Mrs.
Dufields life was threatened. it is alleged, be-
cause the reading room was injuring the bust
ness Of neighboring saloons.
AN EVICTION.
Then the proprietor of the house in which
the association was located was influenced to
move his tenants. This was the most critical

The boundaries of HelIs Bottom are gradu-
ally contracting and the tough element that
for so long dominated a considerable portion
of the northwestern section OF the city is being
dispersed, some of it scattering around the
outskirts of town, some of 1t taking up
temporary residence at the work house, the
Jail and the penitentiary. The condition of
things out in Helrs Bottom has changed very
materially during the past four or five years,
but it is still a better field for missionary
effort than the iungles Of equatorial
Africa. Two-thirds of the murders which
blscken the criminal record Of this city take
place within its limits; vice in its most de-
graded and repulsive form resides there; i'm
morality ia supreme. Faithful work on the
part of the police has removed many Of the
vicious and the immoral, but it has failed to
improve the quality of those who have so far
evaded the strong hand of the law. Another
force was necessary. The churches saw the
situation. and at various times efforts TO reform
the homemade heather were put into prac-
teal operation In spite Of the heathen's Oppo-
Bition.
