Chrlst's Standard for Women.

We once heard a smooth-tongued gentleman
say, "Women were last at the cross, first at the
sepulchre,' and then he deduced that they should
not vote, because cit would take them from their
homes, and "Ther husbands represent them"
Strange conclusions from such premise! What
was Christs standard? Did he set the example of
ignoring the cause of evils, and spending endless
time in trying to avert results? Not at all Sins
OF omission were as sternly rebuked as sins Of
commission; and if we refuse the weapons needed
for effective service, what will be our answer when
the Master asks, '"Where is thy brother?" But
one woman did Christ reprove, and that was
Martha who was so ''careful of many things
that she had no time to develop intellect and soul
Flesh has its claims, which should be met con-
scentiously; but the ''other things" should not
be left undone. Mary had probably done enough
and when the Master came, instead of useless
offerings which would not promote his comfort
she gave her heart, her attention, her sympathy.
to the great issues which make for righteousness
and He expressed His approval of the woman who
consecrated herself to noble things, by saying:
"Mary hath chosen the better part" The sub.
ordination doctrine is not of Christ, and inyolun.
tary subordnation is not consistent with personal
responsibility. All worthy people subordinate
their time and preferences to the good of their
families and the common veal; but the subordi.
nation must be voluntary to be beneficial; make
it legal, and the individual ceases to be free

how difficult it is for the most radical of thinkers
to free himself from the tradition Of the past and
how deep-rooted in the masculine heart is the
tendency to value women only for physical charms,
and for these only as they are plainly devoted to
the purpose OF attracting the male sex.-Woman,s

prepare the brightest for the professions, lawyers,
doctors, preachers and merchants, while the dull
est are reserved for the farmers" II such is the
case we are sorry for it, as the last are the prop
and stay of the nation, and are the foundation of
all our prosperity But we begin to doubt the
accuracy of the information when we see the de-
termined stand lately taken by the farmers against
the monopoles trusts, etc., which all admit is now
the danger Of the nation. But, il it is fact that
they are the foundation, it is in harmony with the
received idea that all reforms originate below and
work upwards. Let us hope that the upper stratas
will soon catch the infection and aid all such re-
forms, not excepting the one which will emancipate
and enfranchise their wives and sisters.

THE school board of Cincinnati have proved
themselves very human, though not humane. One
of the meplbers presented the application of a

on the ground that she had husband and they
did not intend to elect married women in the flu
ture to serve as teachers. Thereupon the gentle
man who had preferred the request in her behalf,
notified the other members that if his candidate
could not serve, neither should those teachers who
had husbands and were already IN the employ of
the board continue to teach. A vote was taken
and a majority of one was passed in favor of dis
continuing the teachers who had husbands This
looks like child's play and exhibits spirit of pet
ulance in officials who should be far above and be-
You'd such petty feelings. Had the board been
composed of women, and had they for one mo-
ment evinced such a spirit, every one would have
been ready to cry for shame. 1t is to be hoped

Rev. DIR. RINGGoLD, rector Of st. Johns Epis-
copal church at Knoxville, Tenn, in recent SER
mon, made some grand arguments in favor of
the enfranchisement of woman. He said:
"There never was time, there never was

Old Time Moral Laws.

This was period when the so-called
''Blue Laws were most vigorously en-
forced not only in Connecticut, with
which tradition associates them, but in
Massachusetts,. In the former colony no
food or lodging could be given to a
Quaker, Adamite or other hereto. No
one could run on the Sabbath day or
walk in the garden Or elsewhere, except
reverently to and from meeting. No one
could travel, cook victuals, make beds,
sweep house, cut hair or shave on the Sab
bath day. No woman could kiss her child
on Sabbath or fasting days. Whoever
brought cards into the colony paid fine
of e5. No one could read the Book of
Common Prayer, keep Christmas or
saints days, make minced pies, dance,
play cards or play any instrument of
music except the trumpet, drum or jews
harp. Liquor drinking was regulated
and tobacco was tinkered incessantly.
No one under twenty-one years, nor any
ono not previously accustomed to it,
could take tobacco without n physicians
certificate. No one could take it publicly
on the street or in the fields or woods,
except on journey of ten miles. Nor
could any one take it in any house
in his own town with more than one
other person taking it at the same time.
This last injunction was leveled at the
so-called Tobacco Parliaments. About
1915 the Massachusetts, magistrates were
greatly troubled that the people would
tell lies. II Weeden's First One Hun

Remembered Their Master

When the celebrated animal trainer
Martin, who died lately, had retired to
private life, one day he took notion
that he would visit his former large men
agerie, which he had not seen for FIVE
years. 1t was in Brussels, and he started
for that city from his country seat near
Rotterdam. At o'clock, the time for
feeding, he entered the menagerie. He
mingled with the crowd and waited un-
til the animals would receive their food,
for which they were waiting with wild
impatience.
While they were eating he began to
cough. Suddenly the animals paused in
their treat and listened, then broke into
wild howls of JOY and tore at the iron
bars, so that many of the timid visitors
fed from the menagerie.
Then Martin stepped forward. With
a movement of his hand and with his
powerful voice he commanded silence,
and suddenly was quiet. He swung
himself over the bars which separated the
visitors from the animals, and put his
hand into the cages to fondle the ami
mails. A mighty tigress showed more
JOY than any of the others, When Mar
tins hand glided over her magnificent
fur, her limbs trembled nervously, she
uttered weak, tender grunts, and
through the iron bars with her rough
tongue, she licked the face of her for
mer master When he went away she lay
down without eating any more food. -

Agriculture in Ancient China.

In 100 (B. c. the Prime Ministe; of
the Emperor Wou-Weng, Tcheou-Kung
constructed norias, or hydraulic machines
of simple design and working, by which
water was raised to height to which it
had never been carried before, and made
reservoirs and canals for irrigation.
Water was conducted by means of mach
inery, from the wells, to the dry hill tops,
and water provision was assured for
times of DIR ,ught Agriculture, in con-
sequence, fourished. Other measures
of Tcheou-Kung comprised the promul-
cation of laws respecting the boundaries
of properties and the prevention of tres
passes. The fields were divided into
squares called wells, from their resem-
blance to the Chinese character signify
ing well, surrounded and furrowed by
bitches so arranged that eight farmers,
each tilling his own tract. united in cul-
tivating the ninth interior tract, which
belonged to the State, AID the produce
of which paid their rent.
The system succeeded to a marvel
Each tenant was proprietor of about tif-
teen acres, the whole product of which
belonged to him, while the State was
really proprietor of the whole, and had,
as landlord, the income of the ninth
tract. Besides this, each farmer had some
3, $50 square metres of ground for his
farmyard and his mulberry trees. Thus
he always had surplus of provision, of
pork and poultry for food and silk for
clothing. No one at this time was richer
or poorer than another, but complete
social equality existed, and every one,
they say, was satisfied. Popular Science

What a Man Eats.

A St. Louis restaurant keeper says in
the Globe-Democrat: made calcula-
tion the other day of the amount of food
an average high liver-that is, man who
always has a good appetite and treats
himself well-would consume during d
natural lifetime of sixty years. Suppose
he eats pound of beef, mutton or other
flesh day, in year he will consume 365
pounds and in sixty years 21, 900 pounds
of meat. He will eat the same weight
of vegetables and quite as much bread,
so here are 43,S00 pounds more. He will
drink every day two quarts of coffee, tea,
wine, beer or water, making total of
10, $50 gallons, or about 175 hogsheads
of liquid. This estimate does not in
clude the probability that he will eat
forty or fifty lambs with mint sauce, a
couple of thousand spring chickens,
about FIVE hundred pounds of butter and
10000 or 50,00O eggs, and four hogs
heads of sugar. If all this supply were
piled up on the scales it would weigh
over forty five tons, and if stored would
fill cotton warehouse from floor to cell
ing. Yet, give man time and he will
eat and drink it all, and pay for it. too,

There seems to be little going on
III musical circles of late, but there
is much talk, among musical people,
of the marvellous cure of Miss B,
the high contralto singer, who has
long suffered from a severe throat
or bronchial affection, superinduced
by Catarrh in the Head, and who
has been perfectly cured by the
use of DR.. Sage's Catarrh Remedy,
coupled with the use of DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. For
all bronchial, throat and lung affec-
tions, and lingering coughs, it is an
unequaled remedy. When oompli-

IT was once common belief that
the frosts caused the changes in the
colors Of leaves and gave the rainbow
tints to Northern forests; but it is not
the truth. We have seen the richest
coloring of leaves in Canadian and in
our Northern State forests when the
leaves had not been touched by frosts.
The change in color of leaves takes
place in their ripening, though the
processes of the change are not fully ex-
planned by botanists. Frosts and
changes in the color of leaves are
merely condolences and one is not q
consequence Of the other.
