RECENT LlTERATuRe.

There is neither sense nor sentiment
in the mass of comments which the
newspaper press is making upon womens
clubs. Whatever may be the purposes
with which some men resort to clubs,
women have thus far organized only
that they may converse on subjects of
mutual interest; there are no gambling
clubs drinking clubs or even mere din
ing clubs in the feminine world Such
general organizations as women
have formed are almost all in cities,
where intelligent women, as a rule,
know more members of their
own sex than they can entertain, in
women's customary way, without pro-
viding q rapid round Of lunches, teas
and parties Until women's clubs were
organized there were many intelligent
and sympathetic women who were abso-
lutely obliged TO avoid increasing their
list of acquaintances, because scquaint-
anceship implied an extent of entertain
ment and calling" to which time and
money were inadequate. City men
escape this embarrassing situation by
distinguishing beteen friends and ac-
| quaintances, meeting the latter at clubs,
where chat without subsequent
social responsibility is possible AT a
club the man Of modest income in the
peer of the millionaire, if matters and
! intelligence are equal; similar privi-
lege and right should be conceded to the
many thousands of women who hRve
more sense and character than money.
/ To many men the club is the only place
at which they can meet others who in
turn wish to meet them; neither busi-
ness, social nor religious organizations
answer the purpose so well. What is
/ true of men in this respect is true also
of women: what's sauce for the goose
is sauce for the gander. -Godey's Maga-

placed in the Magdalene Home and Miss
Brown under the care of the Home Mis-.

The girls left their homes to see the

afterwards furnished lodgings for them
in a hotel.
Mr.. Stout ordered both of the girls to
be kept there for one year.

EVERYTHING that has been done for
the advancement Of the negro i'm this
state has been done by Democratic legis-
lation. Everything that has been done
TO humiliate him and debauch him has
been done by Republicans. II is signif
cant that the legislature of 1889, with
Republican majority in the lower house,
did nothing to increase the appropria-
tion TO colored schools. 1t is likewise
significant that both Democratic legisla-
lures, the one preceding and the one
following, increased the appropriations
for colored schools The Republicans
furnish excuses, apologies and make
promises, but the Democrats have passed
laws by which the colored people obtain
S20, 600 per annum. All the Republican
legislature of 1899 accomplished for the
benefit of the colored people was

There are several sorts Of political

The election Of Cleveland and Steven

! danger is that if the Democratic presi-

there is no telling TO what length the

efforts to undo the great work which the
Republican party has been doing for the

This writer admits that the Democratic
party, with Cleveland as president and

chief adviser, might not do anything a.

An Accurate Description.

Mr.. Joseph Pegg-Joe Pegg, as his in
Inmates call him, and Captain Pegg, as he
delighted to be called on the strength of
his owning a 2-ton catboat-is man of
some wealth and great deal of leisure.
Recently Captain Pegg made trip to
Europe, and in order that the officers of the
state department. might earn their money,
as we'll as to show his own Importance, the
captain secured assport-secured it per-
sonally in Washington, SO as to make sure
that it was all right.
In the passport description of the per-
son is always written but this the captain,
in the hurry of preparation, neglected to
read.
One day, while dining at a restaurant in
Berlin, an official entered, and tapping the
captain on the shoulder said:
beg your pardon, sir, but am in search
of an escaped convict, and as matter of
form you will oblige me with your pass
port''
''Do I look like convict?" demanded
the captain.
POSSIBLY not, but in any case must
see your passport"
In his confusion the captain, instead of
producing his passport. handed the officer
the bill of fare. The latter commenced to
read:
Sleeps head, neck of mutton, pigs
feet. Very good, sir, the description tai
lies; you must come along"

studying the Glaciers.

The number of people, not being pro-
fessed scientists, who take an interest in
glaciers grows more numerous year by
year. It should interest us to learn that
the Alpine glaciers are in fair way of be-
ing regularly and systematically studied
for the future DR.. Forel tells US that the
glaciers of LIE Valais in particular, and gla-
ciers elsewhere at large, are subject to va
riations in shape. 1t is added that most Of
the great Alpine cstastrophes have been
caused by such variations; hence the inn
portance of the study Of these ice rivers.
Glaciers extend, lengthen and arrive at
their maxima; they invade fields, destroy
chalets, barricade valleys, stop the flow of
rivers and create lakes, which later on
burst their barriers and inundate whole
district.

Beating the Captain.

D6AtAuS UhO CaPeaAhs
When / was an apprentice on board a
New Bedford whaler, said my friend, Cap
tain Carey one day. when we were having
an after lunch smoke on board his ship,
the Monowai, I often realized the truth If
not the beauty of that line in Coleridge's
poem of the Ancient Mariner" which
speaks of water, water everywhere and
not a drop to drink.
Frequently on our cruises the water sup
ply got so low that the crew had to be put
on short rations, and this always happened
in the tropics where the intense heat made
the men perspire freely, and frequent
drafts of water were as necessary as breath
ing to the comfort and health of the men.
/ recall one old New England captain
who kept barrel of water on deck for the
use of the men, but he adopted very
novel method to prevent their drinking as
much as they wanted and as often as they
would like. A rusty tin dipper was kept
fastened to the barrel when water was
abundant. but when there was a scarcity
the old fellow adopted curious plan to
keep us from drinking.
He made it rule at such times that the
dipper should be kept tied at the top of
the mizzen mast. If man wanted drink
he had to climb up to the masthead, bring
the vessel down, quench his thirst and
then climb up, under boiling sun, with
that abomineble thing in one hand or held
between his teeth.
As you may we'll believe, d man had to
be very thirsty before he would 60 to all
that trouble to get a drink. Of course we
could have taken turns about going up for
the dipper, but as only one man was per-
mitted to drink after each trip this did no
good.
We set about beating the skipper, as is
ever the case when men feel that they are
being deprived Of right. About our ship
every day there were docks of giant alba
trosses, and these were frequently caught
by means Of hook and line. The wing
bones made excellent pipe stems, but we
found another use for them when the
water famine was on. By splicing two OF
these bones together we could made tube
of considerable length, which enabled us
to suck up the water when the captain or
officers were not looking.
laugh now as recall the wonder of the
captain at the disappearance of the water.
He declared that the fluid disappeared
more rapidly than when there was no re-
straint on the men, and as the opening in
the barrel was always kept covered with
piece of tarred canvas evaporation could
not account for the rapid disappearance of
the water.
The mystery to him was cleared up one
day at Tahiti, when we were laying in
supply Of water, and the drinking barrel,
which had always been kept on deck, had
to be cleaned out. Among the debris and
dirt found at the bottom was about peck
of albatross wing bones, which had become
detached when the thirsty sailors were
sucking up the precious fluid.

Sorry He Broke His Rule.

ST have made it rule through life,"
he said at the table the other day to a
man at his left, "never to NEEDLE with
another mans business"
''That's right-perfectly right" was
the reply.
"But l see you have new confden-
tial clerk"
eyes, sir-yes.
'He's hard looking case; Ihave seen
him intoxicated dozen times, and
wouldn't trust him out of my sight with
q sixpence. Took him out of charity,
eh?''
well, not altogether, you know. He
happens to be my eldest SON.
There was period Of silence so pain
full that both wished some one would yell
