him every possible facility to obtain informa-
tion and asking in return that he give through

The offer is open TO Democrat or Republican

the fortunate explorers visit will doubtless bs
a valuable contribution to the literature Of the
pending campaign.

From The Springfield Union.

The PROVIDENCE NEWS has made very
liberal offer to Rhode Island workngmen, and
one that should have excellent practical re-
suits. The plan is outlined as follows:
The News proposes 20 send at its own ex-
pense n representative Rhode Island working
man TO Great Britain TO report upon the con-
dition of workingmen there. IL will ray all
his expenses and furnish him with guide
books and all necessary information and as
sistance In laying out his route. He will start
some time In May, and will have tirue enough
10 do n great deal of sightseeing besides inves-
tigating huts and novels and tenements.
England and Scotland are so compact that
great deal Of work and play, too, can be
crowded into trip of fairly generous dura-
iion.
The choice OF the man who Is 20 enjoy this
Grip is left with the readers Of the paper, the
only conditions being that he be one who
earns his living by daily labor and is compe-
tent and willing to keep those who have
chosen him TO represent them informed by
sandI.s AT. occasional i-ttrr TO the NEws, Bfv-
ing the results OF his Investigations. The con-
dition of European workingmen has been de-
scribed frequently, but II often happens that
reports are biased by the economic views Of
the writers. and the present plan should re-
suit in n report that workingmen and all
Others can depend upon as substantially accu-

what Every Girl May become.

The change which forty years has
brought i'm American social and domestic
life Is nowhere more marked than in the
position which n young girl today occupies
i'm her home Her mother at twenty was
almost sure TO have been skillful with her
needle and ready and able TO help her
mother i'm the management and control OF
the household.
The young girl Of today is rarely in the
old, simple, housekeeping sense, the 'daugh-
ter of the house" She may attend "a scien-
tifc course OF cooking, or know how much
farinaceous food each person should eat
daily, or possibly be "A member of chari-
table or scientific associations, but she is
not fitted TO take command in the kitchen
and send up savory dinner il the cook
takes an abrupt departure. Does she know
how much coal the family use in a winter'
Can she doctor an aching tooth or dress a
burn'
In the struggle and triumph Of the open
ing Of wider careers for women there is
danger that the coming generation will
overlook the fact that the old occupations
are after all the most useful TO the world
and the noblest. A girl may or may not
be qualified to be mn artist, a scholar or to
enter business life, but nature fitted every
woman TO he daughter, wife, IA mother,
and a homekeeper. Outside Of this destiny
many women do lead helpful, noble lives,
but they are not less exceptions to u uni
versal law.
Let the girl who reads this sing or paint
or write or teach If God has given her the
ability TO 10 IT,: but he always gives her
the ability to make the house in which she
lives Il happy home, and TO widen its tender,
holy influence. Youths Companion.

Fashionable Women and Helpless Man.

Fashionable Women and Helpless Man.
During the Roman fashion red fair hair
was bought of the German peasant girls,
and simplicity returned with the invasion
of the Franks. Philip the Fair decreed that
no demoselle with less than 1000 liyres a
wear should have more than one pair OF
gowns year, or more than two with that
income He fixed the price of the stuff
and provided for and against everything,
and the ladies cared not at all. The
husbands demonstrated and the clergy
preached, aud they cared less.
High head dresses-high heels came
later-were preached down everywhere;
and the "escoffion," broad cylinder OF
rich stuff ornamented with jewels and two
horns, said TO come from England, like
many eccentricities. was the object OF the
most sacred invective: and the "hennin, a
tall comic tube in brocaded stuff worked
with beads and tightly fixed on the fore
head denounced even more. But the
ladies would have them, because it was be-
coming and harmonized with the architec-
ture-the day Of slender spires and slim
turrets and lofty clock towers.
In vain did Brother Connecte, Carmel
ite Of Rennes, undertake campaign
against these "hennins." The women came
to hear him wearing them, till he seized
his staff and rushed among them, knock
ing the "hennns" off with the assistance
of an idle mob. When he bad gone on his
way the 'hennins" were made rather taller
than before. The poor man went on to
Rome, but as his fervor had grown upon
him till he attacked the Injuries Of the
church, he was arrested and burned.-Lon'

Editors Netrs:
Your "trip to Europe" idea is by long odds
the best that any American newspaper within
the range of my observation has yet devised.
II says in effect TO the workingmen Of Rhode
Island: CHOOSE your own delegate. Select
from your number the one man you believe
TO be most unprejudiced, most capable of CIV
ing an honest and intelligent report on the
condition of labor in Europe, and send him
there to investigate. The NEWS will foot the
bills and publish the report whatever it may
be-" It's a great idea, and for one / will
watch with more than common interest for
the report. Yours very truly,

NEWPORT, II. l., Jan. IA, 1892.
Editors Of the Providence Ns,rs:
Any effort or any undertaking that has for
its object the broadening of the mind and the
exciting Of a thirst for knowledge, is to be
commended. Travel, more than any other
thing. will accomplish these objects, and the
proposition of the News to aid some one of it's
readers in the requirement of useful informa-
tion abroad. to be disseminated among the
people of our State upon his return, appears
TO be particularly interesting and laudabls.
If the fortunate individual is really fortu-
nate, /. e., If he is the possessor OF An evenly
balanced mind and has sufficient intelligence
to warrant the belief that he will present i'm
partial and readable pen-pctures OF the result
of his enquiries and observations, then the en-
terprise of the NEWS will surely not DO in vain;
ii must be productive of much good. Icer-
tainly trust that such will be the case.
Believe me, yours faithfully,
