WA STE OF WOMAN'S INTELLECT
UAL POWER

In the series OF papers that is ap-
pearing in The Forum on subjects of
especial interest to women is an arti-
Gle in the July number by Mrs. Schuy-
Ter Van Rensselaer,, on The Waste
of Woman's IntellectualForce," that
is worthy of the most serious consid-
Grafton by every wOmen's club or
other organization looking to the
intellectual advancement of the sex.
Mrs. Van Rensselaer, declares that in
the women of America lies the
nations best hope of intellectual ad-
vancement, because leisure is what is
needed for such advancement, and
our women have leisure in an i'm
measurably greater degree than our
men, From this she goes on to point
out how under our present social
condition not only leisure but wealth
also are at the services of American
women, and all the opportunities
these bring. Mrs. Van Rensselaer's
plea is for the utiliza ton of this
leisure and wealth so that our women
who now generously exert themselves
to raise funds for hospitals and
churches and other such charitable
anu ullSSlOHdly WOI ~ anu lHOSG VINO
spend their time and money in social
display, might, if this same force were
properly directed, become the pa
tronesses of art, of the sciences, and
the leaders of higher intellectual
life than almost any American COM
munity now can boast of.
There is indeed here a prodigious
misdirection of energy. if not posi-
tive waste. Under modern industrial
conditions it seems improbable that
there ever will be any great degree of
leisure enjoyed by men of great capac-
ty, for it is a remarkable fact that
the leisure of forcible men seems to
have disappeared from the world
with the advance of our industrial
system and it is not the less true
that the leisure of women then for
the first time became greatly aug
mented. The conditions for intel

ELEPHANT FAIRS ININDLA.

The great fair in India for the sale
of elephants is held annually at Some
poor, on the Ganges, at the time that
hundreds of thousands of pilgrims
assemble there to worship at the
shrine of silva and to battle in the
sacred river when the moon is full in
the months of October and November.
The same kind Of thieving and swind-
ling goes on amongst the elephant
dealer as amongst the horsv fraterni-
ty. Elephants are brought here from
long distance, some even from
Burmah and Siam. The number for
sale seems to decrease every year, and
the prices rise enormously in conse-
quence. CabOOl merchants are the
principal purchasers of them in the
distant provinces, and from there
they are taken for their long, weary
march to India.
The prices realized by Mr.. Sander
son vary, according to the age and
temper of the captive, from about
e1oO to e4OO, or about $3.50 to
$4,000. Elephants are bought by the
natives for display, and no animal
looks so wellin role for d ton1ahsha;
the pompous pace of procession
suits him to perfection; but for this
only male elephants are used, and
then only tuskers, as they alone seem
worthy to carry the native mobiles;
and the muckna, or tuskless male, is
sent with the females to do work,
such as carrying baggage, wood or
fodder, and, of course, is of immense
value for hunting purposes.-[Har-

INSPIRING "DIXIE.U

81 have just come from a bulletin
window, where learned that when
the band in the convention hall at
Chicago struck up Dixie there was
wild cheering by the 10000 people
present. said George R. Sands, a
keen-visaged Yankee from Vermont,
to the writer. We'll, there is moth
ing unusual about that, though there
is something strange. lam Yankee,
with perhaps a little more inherited
prejudice against the South than the
average among my people, but l
must admit that | never hear Dixie
played by a brass band but that l
feel an almost irresistible impulse to
yell. There is something about the
tune that is inspiring. and l don't
wonder that it cheered the rebel
soldiers into the Jaws OF death many
a time. It's strident strains are greet
ed with nearly as much applause in
the North as in the South. Even in
Europe and in Mexico have witness
ed the same effect on crowds when
Dixie was played. Somehow or
other the tune seems to go right into
you and make you yell. 1t is more
typicallv American than any other
musical production of this country.

idea, and not one of secession either.

THE SONG OF PEACE.

A song is astir in the air.
And l would drink il in
With the scent of the roses rich and rare;
But still the battles din
Rings in ears and deafens me;
cannot hear the strain.
The noise of the world, its misery,
Throbs like bitter pain.
But now and then, as in despair
seek to rend the bonds,
Comes a burst of harmony on the air
To which my heart responds;
And then the echo of the fray
A moment seems to cease;
Though the wondrous harmony dies away
That moment brings me peace.
And then pray may retain
a peacefulness of heart,
Though the warriors 1aurels fail to gain,
Or riches OF the mart.
For that sweet song will give rest,
And Danish all distress;
The flowers of God and the gold of the West
Will be my happiness.

CHANCES IN TON.

Pronuncia ton slowly but steadi-
ly changing. Sometimes it is going
further and further away from the
photography; for example, either and
neither are getting more and more to
have in their first syllable the long i
sound instead of the long sound
which they had once. Sometimes it
is being modified to agree with the
photography; for example, the older
recommendations of again to rhyme
with men, and of been to rhyme with
pin, in which was carefully trained
as boy, seem to me to be giving
way before pronuncia ton in exact
accord with the spelling, again to
rhyme with pain, and been to rhyme
with seen. These two illustrations
are from he necessarily circumscribed
experience of a single observer, and
the observation of others NAV not
bear me out in my opinion; but
though the illustrations fall to the
ground, the main assertion, that
pronunciation is changing, is indis-
putable.-[ Harper's Magazine for

Good ready mixed paints can be
bought by the pint, quart or gallon

used for painting in corners and on
edges. A larger one can be used for
plain surfaces. Before putting on
the paint any rough or scaly places
should be smoothed with sandpaper.

Use the same mixture to fill cracks

ICE WATER IN YOUR CARRIAGE.

A ST. Louis livery and undertaking
firm, claiming to have been the first
to use heaters in carriages in this city,
is now conducting another humane
innovation in the same line, which
is that of supplying ice water with
each carriage and team driven about
the city when the mercury registers
more than So degrees. A ten gallon
can is supplied TO each carriage.
which is filled With ice before start
ing out on a journey, the contents
of which are to be used both for
the horses and occupants of the car
riage. Sponges are used on the
horses heads during hot weather,
and they are saturated with water
from the can as often as necessary.
This happy idea also renders practic-
able the reform that has been agi-
tated by the ministers and others, of
providing suitable watering places
between the city and cemeteries so as
to avoid the necessity of stopping
at saloons for drinks. Under this
method the passengers do not have
to leave their carriages for drinks,
provided they are satisfied with ice

Only Forgotten But Also Vltuporaied
In Many Schools Pray With
Out Ceasing.

New YORK, Oct. 1.-The Times to-
morrow will have the following;
The recent encyclical Of Pope Leo
XIII on the rosary on beads will be
read in every Catholic church through
out the world to-day. IL is one OF the
most important letters that has been
issued by the present pontiif.
In the article commencing the re-
peating OF this prayer during the month
Of October the holy father says: "The
many and various methods Of depravity
by which the wickedness Of the age
treacherously endeayors TO weaken and
destroy human souls In the Christian
faith and observance Of the divine law
which nourishes that faith and renders
itfruitiul, Is already TOO well known,
and now that the field OF the Lord Is
almost eycrywhere Wilderness
as II through the breath OF a
horrid pestilence through ignorance
of the faith and through error and vice.
The thought OF this is made more bit
ter by the fact that those who car and
ought 10 do so, place no limits and Inn
pose no penalties on such arrogant evil,
nay rather the spirit by which this
state OF things is created very often APP
pears to be promoted by their
Incidence or patronage. Hence
IL is when such IS the case
we have TO deplore the establishment Of
schools for the training Of the mind and
the study OF the arts In which the name
OF God is not mentioned or Is vituper-
ated. We have TO deplore the license
daily growing holder OF laying every
thing whatsoever before the populace

equivalent to open abandonment. Of the

consent with the faith. To him who
considers this confusion and destruc-
ton Of the highest interest It win not
certainly be q source Of wonder that
natious are gr0aning beneath the
weight Of divine punishment and kept

greater calamiiies.H
His Holiness then tells the origin o.
this devotion and Of the many spiritual
advantages that may BIO derived by
those who recite the prayers with fer
vor and faith.
