Let her not go in vain For the great art

And whose in her eyes would iain grow strong
Must WOO her with the mind as with the heart.
Not less Of plying tenderness has she.
The woman armed with learn ings triple shield,
Who fronts the powers OF pain and misery,
And OF her lofty courage scorns TO yield
Full armed with knowledge yet woman still,
woman in quick thought and plying eye,
woman with soft hand ana accents mild,
To sOOthe the pains of age, the timd child.
Filled with deep, uniailng sympathy
For the poor thralls of iate's mysterious will.
Raise we a Hospital, therefore, which shall give
Woman unto woman's need.
Not the rude force of man is all, nor themes and

But those fine spiritual blooms which live,
Within the woman. Not the body alone.
Out the soul, too she heals. Go forth brave

Slaves through their lives and bid them under.

matter, on the ground, that it is currently
reported that personally you are in favor OF

POORLY PAID CLERGYMEN

The failure i'll business of a prominent
Clergyman suggests the fact that very
few preachers ever succeed in making
money When they do the religion
generally ooZes out as the dollars come
in, and they eud by giving up ministerial
work altogether. Preachers, particu-
larly Methodist preachers, are almost
always poor, and the next to them in
point of poverty are the Baptists. The
majority of Methodist preachers in this
country receive less than six hundred
mands for charity greatly diminish their
incomes. Presbyterian clergymen are
better paid, while the church of England
ministers, both here and in Great Britain
fairly roll IN wealth by comparison.
Methodist bishops are poorly paid
Those of the Methodist church south
have three thousand six hundred dollars
salary, while those of the church north
have little more, but none of them lay
by anything OF his salary. Bishop War
rem of the church north is rich, having
married the widow of a rapcbman in
in Denver But Bishop Hendrix of the
Methodist church south enjoys the dis
tinction of being the richest bishop in
America, having inherited IA fortune
which by careful management he has
greatly increased. He has the reputa
ton of being both benevolent AMI rich
To schools and colleges he is especially
liberal, and the Central college, in this
state, owes its present prosperity to his
generosity. All the other southern
Methodist bishops are poor.-S LOui>

CURIOUS FREAK OFRAZORS

The finest grades of razors are so deli
cate that even the famous Damascus
sword blades cannot equal them in tex
ture. 1t is not generally known that the
grain of Swedish razor is so sensitive
that it's general direction is so changed
after short service. When you buy a
end to the outer point in diagonal
direction toward the handle Constant
strapping will twist the steel until the
grain appears to be straight up aud
down. Subsequent use will drag the
grain outward to the edge, so that after
steady use for several months the fibre
of the steel occupies a position exactly
the reverse of that which it did on the
day Of purchase. The process also affects
the temper of the blade, and when the
grain sets from the lower outer point
toward the back, you have razor which
cannot be kept in condition, even by the
most conscientious barber. But here's
another curious freak that will take
place in the same tool: Leave the razor
alone for a month or two, and when you
take it up you will find that the grain
has assumed it's first position. The
operation can be repeated until the steel
is worn through to the back.

RUNAWAY HORSES,

| heard an interesting distinction made
the other day by an experienced driver
of horses, not a professional, as to the
degree of danger to which person was
exposed from a runaway horse. The
distinction made was between the horse
that runs away from fright and the orse
that runs away because he is out of tenn
per. In the former case the animal is
said to be perfectly reckless he is as
likely to dash across the street as he is
to go straight ahead, and the only safe
guard for team approaching him is to
get as far away from him as possible.
But the horse who is the victim of an

for the brutal murder Of his aunt and grand
mother, spent the last hours of his life in
debating letter of warning to his father,
who is also a victim of the drink curse In
that letter Blaney declared that whiskey
