A Wonderful Book.

An enterprising Buffalo man
has got out q wonderful book,
in which he runs in, in short
lengths, the fifty best books Of
the world. The book is design
ed, he says, for "busy people. !"
By busy people presumably
meaning such persons as arc
able to do their reading and get
their culture only in snatches
as they go; persons who want
the fruit of the gods, but who
haven't time to pluck it ripened,
and who will take it therefore
boiled down and canned, as fit
for the delectation of persons
whose main business in life is
getting something better than
mere culture. This is American
enterprise. When Gerald Mas
say made his latest visit here a
few years ago, the question was
asked him, what one feature in
our intellectual life he found
most striking. With a laugh,
he answered: "Your libraries
Of universal knowledge in five
volumes. Then he went on
seriously to say: "But it is per-
fectly appalling, you know, the
way you people fancy you can
take down your culture as you
do your food, in great gulps,
and the demand there is among
you for knowledge of every
kind in its abridged and con-
densed form" That's true; ev-
cry word of it. We're not will
ing to wait for that distilling
process which must 60 on in the
mind before knowledge can be-
come culture. The impatient,
almost indecent haste with
which we snatch our learning
does not develop certain quail
ties Of the mind. Perhaps il il
the secret of the fact that the
American writers have written
some of the best short stories of
this or some other time. But we
shall never quit being a smart
people and begin to be a learned
people until we stop trying to
know about things instead of
learning them.

TO.the Alliance.

Lear brethren: we nave eS-
lpoused a noble cause-wc want
to elevate man! To accomplish
lany great design, there must be
co-operation, we must combine
together, act in harmony with
each other. "In union there is
strength" King Solomon saw
this 5000 years ago when he in
stituted the mansonic order with
all its grand symbolic teaching;
and David, no doubt, belonged
to some social order when he
wrote that beautiful and inn
pressive Psalm: "Behold how
good and how pleasant it is for
brethren to dwell together in
unity" / will not repeat the
whole Psalm. God made man a
social being and the Devil is
striving to destroy every thing
that is good and noble in man.
Dear brethren we should strive
to raise the standard of public
sentiment in reference to good
morals. 1t has pleased the SOW
ereign disposer to cast our lot in
a period of mighty plans and of
high moral efforts for the bene-
fit of the world. Remember the
brevity of life; that we shall
soon pass from the stage of hui
man action. Be kind to all.
kindness is like a calm and
peaceful stream that reflects
every object in it's just proper
ton" You will be sure to meet
with difficulties; but if you go
forward these difficulties will
vanish away just at the right
time. Take, for instance, the
Children of Israel at the Red
sea. Just behind them was an
army under strict discipline,
well drilled, we'll armed, a set of
bloodythirsty heather, who had
just been deprived of their prop
erty and of their firstborn. To
tell into their hands was in
stant death. Look before them
and they see a storm battling
with the mighty waves of the
sea; for we are told that the
Lord caused a strong east wind
to blow all that night. But to
make this august scene look
still more frightful, the heav-
ems above them are being ap-
parently consumed by fire (for
we are told that the cloud that
led them by day was a piller of
fire by night and while the
Israelites, panic stricken with
fear. stood gazing on this august
scene, they hear the command
given to go forward. What, is
Moses going to dive them in
among those angry waves? but
just then they see a mighty
wave sweeping the bottom of
the sea; it rolls up like a noun
tain, it is held quivering in the
air by the finger of God uutil
the last Israelite is safe on the
farther shore. Then tits turned
loose to deal out death and
destruction upon their enemies.
Then dear brethren let us press
forward in the discharge of our
duties feeling assured that those
difficulties which beset our path
on every side will vanish away
at the proper time.-A. VI c., in
Sanford Express.

iona working women's Wages.

1t is probable that New Yorl
represents both extremes o.
wages, high and low, for botl
men and women workers in thil
country. But even in this cit,
of the east, where the condi
tion of life for working womer
are supposed to be much harder
than they are in the west, thert
are some ladies who get at least
enough money to supporta hus,
band handsomely. A few in.
stances will show that this ID
the case. lG
The highest salaried woman
in America, apart, of course,
from a few actresses and sing
ers, is Nine. Cottrelly, the stage
directress, who received at
Palmer's theater $40, 400 a year,
The woman editor of a New
York fashion monthly receives
$50 a weck--over $4,000 a year.
Cynthia Westover, the linguist
and mathematician, got 81, 800 q
year as private secrtaery of the
New York street commissioner.
She resigned from this place to
take entire charge Of a retail
business which will paw her
1000 a year. The reputation
she won for shrewdness and
financial capacity in.the street
department gained for her the
other situation.
The New York World men
tions a number of ladies who
get wages that might make
some men want TO be women.
Mrs H. NICK. Twombly pays her
housekeeper $4,000 a year and
her nursery goyerness $40 a
month. Mrs. John ID. Rockefe-
her pays the young woman tutor
Of her daughters 50, 1000 a year.
Nine. Clara Neymann is well
known throughout the couRtry
as a speaker and advocate Of
woman's rights and various re-
forms. Nine. Neymann re-
duced her advanced ideas to
practice by educating her tai
ented daughter as a dentist, and
now the bright young woman
gets $40 for filling q tooth. In
the journalistic world perhaps
fifty women in the big city re-
ceiye from Sl5 TO $75, a week.
Contrasted to these are several
hundred newspaper women
writers who are paid all the way
from nothing TO $l5 a week.
Business pays better than
anything else. ifa woman can
reach a place at the top, which
some few have succeeded in
doing. There are foreign buy
ers and managers of depart
ments who get from 81 900 TO
SO 900 a year. Those who are
able 10 design and originate
new styles are best paid. At
least one woman in a great dry
goods house receives 81, 900. In
a fashionable dressmaking the
leading filter is worth 10 her
employer $65 a week, and gets
il. But for every one Of these
highly paid working women
there are at least 500 who work

Less Law and More Sense.

Agood man who wants to re-
form the evils of society calls
attention TO the number Of muir
ders the past year arising from
the pernicious practice of carry.
ing concealed weapons. The
array is something ghastly of
these souls that were put out of
the world through pistol, knife
and razor. line reformer there
upon demands that more laws
shall be passed against the
carrying Of concealed weapons,
especially by minors. Let them
be heavily fined when caught,
and made an example Of, says
he.
Very good. But IL our rsfcmer
will look on the statutes Of ev-
cry large city in this Union, il
he will examine the laws of the
states, he will find already stiff,
doubled and twisted laws
against the very thing he COM
plains Of, carrying concealed
weapons. What law can do
law has already done. IL our
reformer would diminish the
number Of murders by razor
and pistol, let him 20 among
the people themselves and teach
them that if they never carry a
pistol they will never murder
anybody with one. Teach them
that in q civilized community IL
is only the coward and the
sneak who carry a weapon; the
brave man defends himself
with his fists, when defense is
necessary, which is not eften.
Let our reformer teach q COM
munity TO be good natured and
honest and then the laws against
carrying concealed weapons
can be enforced. It is the only
way.

The Latest Born Giant.

Some writer Speculates or
what would have happened il
the inventive genius Of James
Watts had been directed to the
Development Of electricity in,
stead Of steam. 1t is a fact
more OF less. well known that he
had constructed an electrical
machine previous to making a
ego" of the steam engine.
1T may be that steam delayed
fora $50 years the Towering out
Of the greater, subtler force.
But at the rate at which cleo
trical invention is progressing
now the younger giant will
speedily oyertake and pass the
elder. 1t is quite probableIthat
for street railways in a few
years there will be no motor
used but electricity. There are
in the United States at present
$50 electric street railways in
place Of only three five years
ago. The storage battery sys-
tenn, imperfect as it is, has been
demonstrated, it lis claimed, by
actual experiment TO be z per.
cent. cheaper than horse power.
The electric elevator in build
ings is so rapidly taking the
place of that propelled by steam
or water that there are already
4, 900 such elevators in use in
the country. Printing presses,
sewing machines and innumer-
able light manufacturing es-
tablishment use electricity as a
motor. fgsr5 s@s,g .-za-,sss~

In his great speech at Brook

this comprehensive sentence:
"The party we oppose, rest

timent and depending for sue,

of selfish interests and popular
misconception, can not endure
the sight of a community which

Representations"
Never, perhaps, have a few
skillful stroke completed a more
perfect picture, a more speak.
ing likeness, than this. Every
line is mercilessly true to the
original. is@@s 80
The Republican party rests
upon no fundamental principle.
1t advocates y tariff to make
certain lines of business prof.
table, and yet surenuously con-
tends that its policy makes
prices lower. "a 4s@s-
1t advocates a revenue sys-
tenn for the purpose of checking
imports, and at the same time
claims credit for the increase of
imports.
1t condemns free trade as lit
tie short of treason, and then
goes before the people and
boats that it has given the coun-
try the largest measure of free
trade which it has even enjoyed.
1t claims to be the friend of
civil service reform, and yet
tramples it to death whenever
it has the opportunity, and car
ries partisanship even into the
work of enumerating the peo-
pie and preparing statistics; a
thing that was never done or
attempted by any other party.
In its national platform it at
tacks the Democratic party for
being the foe of silver; in its
State platforms, in editorials
and in speeches it attacks the
same party for being too much
the friend of silver.
1t processes a consuming zeal,
an unwavering devotion, for
the purity of the ballot, but
persistently votes against bal
lot reform in Republican States.
It deprives States of self-gov-
ernment, steals Senatorial and
Representative seats and Gov
ernorships with unvarying re-
gularity whenever it has an op-
portunity.
The precarious existence of
the party is dependent entirely
upon its ability to mislead the
public as to its aims and pur-
poses. It is all things to all

Bashful Men.

Are there any bashful men

among the rising generation of

But let the etiquette lover meet
one of these recluses on his own

be he who would be the bashful

opinion, which will no doubt be

Its Queer World.

Nothing Of recent occurrence
has so stirred up the indIgna-
tion of the quidnuncs as the
discovery that a Chicago tive
year-old baby smokes q pipe
with evident relish. Hands are
held up in holy horror in every
circle of moral mugwumpery at
the picture Of parental indul-
gence thus presented. Carica-
lures have already been made
of this latest Chicago monstros-
ity with a dudeen in its mouth,
and the few good people who
are doing missionary work in
that wicked western metropolis
cry "shame" and threaten TO
haul the offending parents up
With a judicial round turn. OF
course this wave Of indignation
is not inexcusable, but is strikes
the Sun as simply another evil
dence of what a queer world we
live in, or what queer people
live in the world, il you like
that better. Now IL that child's
parents had transmitted to il a
disease of some other sort, a
consuming appetite for whisky
to be developed later on, for in
stance, or an unconquerable
tendency to crime or pauperism,
nobody would have concerned
himself about the case at all.
Verify, the ethics Of some
would-be moralists are wonder
fully warped, and mountains
and molehills get sadly mixed.
