There is so much that is good in the al
dress that it is a difficult matter I'd SelecI
any one line of thought to the exclusion OF
others. 1t is like having tray of diamonds
placed before one of equal size, Drllllancy
and finish aud telling him to select one or
two and leave the rest. But, as choice
must be made, t ere Is one toplc WHICH
Mrs. Eys;er has CONSIDERED that may DC
mentioned and that is: Criminal Adver-
Using and How to Suppress It." With ref
erence to this matter she says: THE lnhu-
euce of every newspaper woman should
be concentrated upon preventing entrance
into the business columns OF anewSDaper OIL
advertisements which are deceptive, fraud

immunity from the results of immortality.
In her perOrdtion she advises women

THE INTERESTS OF WOMEN.
The Natural Field OF Feminine Courage
According to Frances Z. Cobbe.
Every one will remember the famous line
of Terence at which the old Roman audi
ence rose in a tumult of applause: Il am
man; nothing human is alien to me-" L
would have each woman add 20 this, in an
emphatic way: 4 am a woman; nothing
concerning the interests of women is alien
to me-" Take the sorrows, the wants, the
dangers above all, the dangers of our sis
tiers closely to heart, aud, without ceasing to
interest yourself in charities having men
and boys for their objects, recognize that
your earlier care should be for the weakest,
the poorest, those whose dangers are worst
of all. Think of all the weak, the

tie children, and the harmless brutes;
and save and shield them as best
you can; even as the mother-bird Will
shelter ana fight for her little helpless fledg-
lings. This is the natural field of feminine
courage Then, when You have found your
work, whatever it may be-, gtva yourself to
it with all your heart, and make the reSolu-
ton in Gods sight never to 20 to your rest
leaving a stone unturne1 which NAV help
your aims. Half-and- half charity does very
little good 10 the objects, tnd is miserable,
Siovenly affair to the workers. And wien
the end comes and the night closes in, the
long. last night of EARTH when no man can
work any more in this world, milk-aud-
water half-hearted charities will bring no
memories of comfort t. you. What thought
for those last days when we know ourselves
to be going home TO GOd-Gud, whom at
bottom, after all, we have loved and shall
love forever-that we might have served
him here, might have blessed his creatures,
might have done his will on earth as it is
done in heaven, but we have let the glorious
chance slip by Us forever
