All over this country, north, south,
eas. and west, 1t is dawning on the
minds of men that We are on the eve of
a mighty social and political upheaval.
If one will exercise only common intel
ligcncc in viewing the condition of
things as they now exist, the conclusion
is irresistible that something is wrong
with our economic system. 1t requires
no broad -guagcd craftsmanship to COM
prehend that paupers are increasing as
we'll as mlllionaires, and it does not re-
qaire an cruditc mind to understand,
that If all the wealth in the country
were equally distributed among the peo-
pie, and the present laws were to remain
the same as now, not many years would
elapse before the wealth Of the country
would again be in the hands of the few.
As things now exist, the producers toll
aud spin for the non-producers. They
who add nothing to the worlds store,
who fashion nothing that will benefit
mankind, enjoy the choicest fruits of
the labor of the millions, and yet when
the advocates of equality demand that
this order Of things shall be changed,
they are brande d as traitors John L.
Sullivan s name is synonymous With all
that is rcpulsive in the minds of those
who deprecate the breaking of laws and
who love what is commonly called fair
play. He is possessed Of magnificent
muscular developement and he takes
full advantage of its powers to domi-
neer, bully and beat those who have in /
cured his displeasure. But corporal
punishment of an individual is misde- |
meanor before the law. We have ad |

If the practice Of offering big purses
for prize fighters has been killed by the

That two british fellows. who can earn
barely 81, 900 year in any honorable

$50, 600 for an hour or two of mauling

Here is q costume taken from q French
fashion journal for September, 1891.
What fault is there to find with it? Isn't
it simple and sensible and pretty and at
the same time elegant 1t il made to
wear over Il corset, no doubt, but the
corset need not be tight. Very few wo-
men Iace nowadays. High heeled and
narrow pointed shoes are not considered
at all in good form.
The high collar has been cut down and
opened in front, so that d woman can
move her head freely Tennis and boat
ing dresses and tea gowns form an i'm
portant part Of every woman's ward
robe, and they are always made SO as to
allow perfect case Of movement. There
are no senseless hoop skirts, no uRsightly
bustles. no ridiculous shapes in hats,
and isn't all this i'm the right direction?
Then why not admit the progress and
encourage it, All dress reforners call
upon us to study Tho exquisite figures
left by Greek gculptors, and they have a
great deal to say about the graceful
draperies worn by tile Greek women
2,000 years ago.
Well, these marble woman are unde-
niably beautiful, but all sculptors Of all
ages have followed the same model for a
perfect figure. NO one ever dreamed Of
reproducing as work Of art the fash
ionable figure Of the period
An artist follows the design Of the
Creator, not Of the modiste. And we
have no reason to conclude that all
Greek women were like The Greek Slave
or the Venus Dc Milo. The time when
the women Of Greece were supposed to
be SO artistic was before the era of the
newspaper press, and fashion writers
were not numerous in those days, but
tle little that ancient history does tell us
about these matters proves that the
women in those days spent most Of their
time 1T their toilets. "A Grecian dame Of
high degree was attended by a whole
retinue Of slaves, whose sole business il
was to keep her precious body in order.
Cosmetics were used to an extent never
known in any other age. Mental culture
was almost entirely ueglectcd-the end
and aim of Greek womans education
was the anointing Of her body.
It is a mistaken idea that the Greek
women did not wear corsets, they did,
but they were most carefully made, and
followed the lines of tha figure instead
Of making the figure conform to the cor
set. They were Of leather and came up
high under the arurits and far down
over the hips. being laced in the back
A Greek womans corset was nodded
upon her figure very much a. a surgeon

told that the wearing 81 this broad

women of Greece from having large
breasts and abdomens. Everybody knows
that both these undesirable results will
follow tight lacing

ment Her professional career is briefly
told She began writing when about
fifteen, learning how" on the Rochester
Daily Union and Advertiser, and being
the first woman Of this, her birthplace,
to enter the field of journalism. Later
she became assistant on The Catholic
Union and Times, Buffalo, where she
was one of the pioneers of her sex in her
profession Later she taught literature
in the normal school of Nazareth con-
vent, Rochester In 1883 Miss Conway
met the late John Boyle O'Reilly in Bos-
ton and was asked to become one of his
assistant editors on The Pilot.
Aside from regular duties Miss Con-
way has always done large amount of
special correspondence and anonymous
work, such as literary criticism and COM
piling She says, II always try to find
time each day for purely literary work"
That takes form chiefly in short stories
and poems, Of which one volume has
been published and another promised.
She has also found time for public read
ings Of her own papers, notably ''The
Blessed Among Women" before the
Womens Educational and Industrial
union, Boston, where she was the first
Catholic to appear i'll that way, and
''The Literature Of Moral Loneliness at
the Women's council in Washington
last February, also ''Ideals Of Christian
Womanhood.
Her papers on timely professional sub
jects before the New England Womens

committee she was for three years chair
man, are always well received. Among
her subjects are obstacles to the Sue

ways has something to say that is worth
listening to, and is delightful compan-
ion Mr.. O'Reilly's statement that she

While one is amazed at her wise and
witty thoughts one cannot be long with
her before discovering the store of en-

she is always ready to draw supplies for

The lectures upon dress reform that
Mrs. Parker has been giving at Chatau-
qua have revived interest ia that some
what worn subject.
The Womanis council, which met last
winter in Washington, spent nearly a
day discussing various plans for COS
tuning business women. Miss vii
lard's sole idea about the matter was
pockets. "Have at least six good, big,
stont pockets, She said, and then build
the dress around them" This sugges-
ton Is doubtless good, but not very
definite.
Mrs. Parker offers O number Of plans
for reform dresses, but they are not par
ticularly new, nor would they be pretty
on all women.
There are women SO blessed by nature
that nothing will disguise their lowell
ness, but unfortunately these happy ones
are not in the majority, and the indi-
vidul who offers a new scheme for
dressing women must evolve something
that is pretty and becoming as well as
comfortable, otherwise the great mass Of
women viii not have it. There is some
thing radically wrong with d woman
who doesn't want to l6ok as well as she
can, and SO far all the dress reform COS
tunes that have been offered are unInis-
takably queer.
Now, with all due Difference to Mrs.
Parker and the other good women who
are striving to make their sisters moro
comfortable, they certainly 90 lose
sight Of the fact that the dress Of today
is q very great improvement upon any
style that has been ia vogue during tho
last hundred wears.

Of gold must be the monarch whose mag
nificent city and gorgeous palace, Gov
cred with plates Of gold, had been ex-
tolled ID such splendid terms by Marco
Polo.
The island where Columbus had thus
for the first time set his foot upon the
New World was called by the natives
Guanahane. It still retains the name OF
San Salvador, which he gave to it,
though called by the English Cat island.
The light which be had seen the evening
previous to his making land may havs
been on Watling's island, which lies d
few leagues to the east San Salvador
is one Of the great cluster Of the Lucayos
or Bahama islands, which stretch south
east and northwest from the coast of
Florida to Hispaniola covering the
northern cost Of Cuba.
On the morning Of the 14th Of October
the admiral BET of Ut day break with the
boats of the ships to reconnoiter the
island, directing his course To the north
east. The coast was surrounded by a
reef Of rocks, within which there was
depth Of water and sufficient harbor to
receive all the ships in Christendom.
The entrance was very narrow Within
there were many sand banks, but the
water was as still as in pool
The island appeared throughout to b
well wooded, with streams OF water and
a large lake in the center. AS the boats
proceeded they passed two or three vii
lagos, the inhabitants of which, men as
well as women, ran to the shores, throw
ing themselves on the ground lifting up
their hands and eyes, either giving
thanks to heaven, or worshiping the
Spaniards as supernatural beings They
ran along parallel to the boats, calling
after the Spaniards and inviting them
by signs to land, offering them various
fruits and vessels Of water Finding,
however, that the boats continued on
their course, many threw themselves
into the sea and swan after them, and
others followed IN canoes. The admiral
received them all with kindness. giving
them glass beads and other trihes
which were received with transport as
celestial presents, for the inyariable idea
Of the savages was that the white men
had come from the skies
In this way they pursued their course
until they came to a small peninsula
which with two or three days labor
might be separated from the mainland
and surrounded with water, and was
therefore specified by Columbus as an
excellent situation for a fortress. On
this were six Indian cabins, surrounded
by groves and gardens as beautiful as
those Of CASTLE. The sailors being
wearied with rowing and the island not
appearing to the admiral Of sufficient
Importance to induce colonization, he re-
turned to the ships, taking seven Of the
natives with him, that they might ac-
quire the Spanish language and serve as
interpreters.
Having taken in a supply Of wood and
water, they left the island of San Saliva
dor the same evening, the admiral being
impatient to arrive at the wealthy coun-
try to the south, which be fattered him
self would prove the famous island Of
Cipango
