MSS Ella Wheeler Wilcox, in re.
cent letter to New York daily, urged
the bringing out Of the utility wom'
an" This woman is the need Of our
civilization. Mrs. Wilcox wrote from
locality where there are a hundred
summer cottages, but only two, women
who can be got for any extraservice.
She suggests that for this particular
locality the utility woman should be
able to give thorough rubbing to the
bather after bath; that she should
know how to dry the hair by the use OF
brush and fan; be an expert at clean
ing lamps; know how to run a sewing
machine, and be able to manage but
ler's pantry through dinner party.
One Of the constant problems that
we face continually in our civilization
is how to bring the demand and supply
together. Capable women are met
frequently who have general all
round skill, but no training in any one
line; they can not find any work; and
on the other hand are numbers ofwom-
en- ready to pay for just such SER
vice as these very women
could render. 1t seems comparatively
eaSy matter to establish bureau where
the work and the worker might be
brought together Services could be
paid for by the hour. In the summer
season the managers of women's ex-
changes might easily arrange for the
placing of as many workers as each
locality might require in that locality.
An anxious mother would be glad to
pay for the services of an intelligent
woman for few hours while she went
on drive, or to town, or to an evening
entertainment. There are cases OF
sickness that do not require trained
nurse, where an intelligent woman
might render great service by relieving
the family for a few hours each day.
There is the work, and there are the
workers waiting; where is the medium
of communication?
Certainly this is an opportunity for
our philanthropic or women's business
organizations. Union.

DRINKING MEN NOT WANTED.

The Feeling Against Them Growing
Stronger In business and SOclety.
The progress of barring out from po-
sitions of trust and profit all men who
indulge in intoxicants is becoming
more widespread every year With
some occupations it is almost an abso-
lutte rule that drinking men are not
wanted. All the leading railroad COM
panies of the country refuse to employ
men who drink, and this practice is en-
tending even to streetcar lines. A
short time ago. the Fourth avenue
street-car company, of New York city
one of the principal ones in that city.
issued an order to all its conductors and
drivers notifying them that it would
thereafter be considered sufficient
cause for immediate dismissal for any
of them to visit saloon at either end
of the road between trips. The officers
of the road frankly said that the mott
fication was issued to insure discipline
among the men, some of whom were
in the habit of leaving their cars
and horses unattended while they loi-
tered in saloons at one end or the other
of the line. The men themselves got
up some little excitement over the or
der, and even talked of organizing a
strike to have it rescinded; but wiser
counsel prevailed, when they reflected
that there were plenty of men in the
city who were perfectly willing to take
their places, and who did not make a
habit of visiting saloons
The growth of the feeling can also be
seen in many secret societies, which
condemn the liquor traffic and exclude
liquor sellers from membership. In
this case the objection is to the mans
occupation. One who makes it his sole
employment to minister to a debssed
appetite among men is not considered
worthy of fellowship with the gentle.
men composing the order. 1t will be
remembered that the grand lodge o,
odd fellows Of the state Of Indiana re.
GENTLY decided hereafter TO exclude all
liquor dealers from the organization.
Similar action has been taken by the
masonic order. and by the Knights Of
Pythiss, In different states Every such
action reveals the deepseated condem
nation among the intelligent masses Of

A DEBASlNG TRAFFIC.
Evils Arising from Furnishing Drink to

Evils Arising from Furnishing Drink to
the Native Races.
A member of naval lodge of good
templars on board one of the British
naval vessels on the west coast Of
Africa, in letter read at the late an
niversary meeting of the Drink and
Native Races association, writes:
We are out here on the spot and can
see for ourselves the immense evils
arising from this devilish traffic. In
the steamer which brought us out to
the Cape Of Good Hope to join our
ships were two missionaries with cases
of Bibles, etc, to bring the glad tidings
of great joy unto the poor bcnighted
heathens, and down in the hold of the
same vessel were twenty-one hundred
gallons of Holland gin and fifteen hun
dred gallons of rum intended for
the selfsame heathens Now, my
brothers and sisters, please ask
yourselves what good is it send.

as it were, on the scene Of battle, are
helpless to do anything in this matter
except TO urge tho poor blacks 70 alb
stain from the drink; but when we
speak to them on the subject they tell
us: white man bring it, white man
drink it, and black man drink it." And
black man does drink it and dies in
consequence. One of the objects for
which our ship is stationed here is the
suppression of the slave trade, but the
ships of all sorts that pass in and out
of the rivers have on board that which
binds the negroes with worse chains
than those which Wherefore broke
asunder, which holds them in stronger
bonds than Abraham Lincoln united in
America, and which binds them in

ing and more damning than any for

states went to war with their southern
brethren to abolish National Tenn

THE POWER OF EXAMPLE.
A Practical Illustration OF Its Beneficent

A Practical Illustration OF Its Benefcent
influence.
A well.known Christian merchant of
this city not long ago had an urgent
telegram calling him to see an old
friend residing in a suburban town.
When he arrived at the house of his
friend he found the latter very i'll and
only expected to live for few hours.
The friend asked to see him alone,
and when by themselves, said: my
doctor tells me that | can live at the
most but twenty-four hours. l want
ed once more to see you and say to you
something that have never told YOU
In early life, as young men, they had
met in this city in business relations,
and it was at that period that the
close bond of personal friendship was
formed. They went much together in
society. and had great happiness in
each other The one who was about
to pass away had in their young man
hood a cousin, beautiful young lady
in this city, in whose society both these
friends passed much time. On one
occasion she gave an elegant party,
at which both were in attendance.
During the evening when refreshments
were served, she came to the friend OF
her cousin and asked him to drink
with her glass of wine. Very fond
of her, the young man was sorely per-
picked, but finally declined, saying:
II will do anything for you that /
properly can, but cannot drink the
glass of wine" Turning from him
with somewhat Of an air of displeas-
ure, she said: "Well, will 60 to"
| (her cousin), she will drink it with
me-" She crossed the room to her
| cousin, extended the invitation tOhim
with the air of confident expectation,
but he also declined, greatly to her as
constituent, and not little to her cha
grin. In this last interview, many
years after the party in question, one
thing which passed between these two
old friends was the statement of the
one who was about to die, which he
wished to make as something of con-
fession, to the effect that he was at
that time an observer across the room
of what transpired with his cousin, and
although he had never before thought
of abstaining from Intoxicating bever-
ages, to the social use of which he had
always been accustomed, influenced by
the example of his friend In declining
he also determined to decline. He
wished now to make acknowledge
ment of his gratitude for this eventful
incident in his life, which he had nj
doubt had saved him from excesses ant
ruin which, in his case, would have al
most certainly followed the confirm
ance of the drink habit.
In this incident may be seen prac
tical illustration of the power of RICH
example. Its influence is sometimes
more potent and farreaching than word
Of counsel alone, however good the.
may be. May every one, young an
old, realize in the light of this dyin
statement of one friend to another, thu
great value and Importance of the all
stainer's example to others. -Nationa

All the prosperity enjoyed by the

prosperity, without any reservation
whatever-from the foundation of the
United States Governmentdown to the

of Protective principles; and all the
hard times suffered by the American
people in the same period has been
preceded either by a heavy reduction
of duties on imports or by insufficient
