it is reported that he has his orders to
this effect from the National Educational
association If the National Educational
association is doing such work as this it il
itself sadly in need Of education.
They are using significant argument in
South Carolina in favor of the COM
mutation of the death sentence recently
imposed upon young oolored girl for
murder. The Charleston News and Courier
says: "Too many mon, white and black,
who are guilty of homicide, Of murder,
escape the gallows every year to warrant
the hanging of girl for that offence, as a
sacrifice that is imperatively demanded
by justice"
The persistent Dutchmen are steadily
damming and pumping out the zuyder
Zee. This big gulf, which broke into the
Netherlands in 1889, is in area about so by
21O miles. fit ia ever all pumped out-as
1t now seems likely to be at no very dist,nt
day-they calculate they will recover nearly
a million acres of valuable land. The salty
quality impaired by the sea water it Is ex-
pected will soon disappear. The cost of
this work is 2,000 gulden $4,000 per hsc-
tare. A hectare is 247 sores. This is fig
ured at total cost of 100, 900, 900 gulden
1856, 200, ,000). But If only CSC, 900 hectares
are recovered, at cost Of. 760 gulden per
hectare, the profit would be s1s5 per acre,
or s45, 100000.
One of the vexed questions with which
the next Hungarian parliament will prob
ably find itself called upon to deal is that
of the religion of children of mixed mar
riages. The matter has been brought once
more to the front by the recent speech of
a Calvinistic bishop, who furiously at
tackled NJ. Tisza for Encouraging the
lower militant clergy to steal Protestant
souls" by baptizing as Roman Catholics
the children of parents of differing faith.
OF course this charge has cansed much
excitement among the Roman Catholics,
and their Primate, Archbishop Vaszary of
Gran, has had an interview with the
Minister of Public Worship, with the pur-
pose, it is believed, of procuring the
abolition of the present law which pro-
vides that, in case of mixed marriages,
sons shall be brought up in the faith of
their fathers and daughters in the faith of
their mothers. The Protestants claim that
the result of this law has been the practi-
cal appropriation of all children by the
Roman Catholics, but it does not appear
what plan they would suggest in the place
of it, There are about three millions of
Protestants in Hungary, and the mixed
marriages are so common that the problem
is an exceedingly delicate one for the gov
ernment to meddle with.

Contentment In Nature.

l would not change my joys for those
Of emperorS and kings.
What has my gentle friend, the rose,
Told them, if aught, do you suppose
The rose that tells me things?
What secrets have they had with trees?
What romps with grassy spears?
What know they o. the mysteries
Of butterflies and honey bees,
Who whisper in my ears!
What says the sunbeam unto them?
What tales have brooklets told?
Is there within their diadem
A single rival to the gem
The dewy daisies hold?
What sympathy have they with birds,
Whose songs are songs Of mine!
Do they eer hear, as though in words
Twas lisped, the message of the here's
OF grazing, lowing kline?
All, no! Give me no lofty throne,
But just what Nature yields.
Let me but wander on, alone
II need be, so that all my own
Are woods aud dales and fields.

he WAS SURPRISED.

One of the most promising of young
American sculptors is Miss Alice Rideout,
a Californian, not yet twenty-one years
old, who received the first prize in the
contest of women sculptors for design
ing the statuary that is to ornament the
Woman's Building at the Worlds Fair.
She has a studio in Horticultural Hall
and may be seen, in clay plsstered ging-
ham gown, very busy upon her models.
She has designed three alleRorical groups
-"Woman's Virtues" ''Woman as the
Spirit of Civilization" and "Woman's
Place in History" These groups when
finished will he ten feet high, and forty
feet long, aud they will adorn the attic
cornice. Eight thousand two hundred
dollars is the sum to be paid for the
work.
OF Miss Rideout her instructor has
said: ''She has the art in her head, and
she knows how to use her hands without
teaching" The love of the art seemed to
have been born with her, and though not
fostsred by her environment, it
has ever growing and strength
ening. She told herself that she would
never be anything but sculptor if she
lived to be hundred years old, but never
cared to confde her aspirations to any
one, because, as she says. "when a school
girl goes airing such ambitions che gen.
orally gets laughed at" 1t was not until
the family moved from Marysville to San
Francisco, about two years ago, that she
began to study the mysteries of the plastic
art under competent instruction, and her
progress has been phenomenal. 1t is said
that there is not trace of the amateur,
not an undecided, hesitating touch, in one
of her studies. Strength, decision, and
freedom are in every curve and furrow.
It is probable that most of us have heard
of her and are interested in her success
But a gentleman, perhaps not we'll posted
as to art matters generally, was so much
surprised at discovering her that he pub
lished his astonishment in a California
paper. 1t would not be thought neces sary
to quote here from Mr. Irish's letter were
it not for its concluding sentence which
has point and meaning applicable to the
time. "The other day, while in the Office
II saw beautifully modelled
bust, which I at once took
pains to secure; and when l asked by
whose hands it was modelled was told
that it was the work of native daughter
of the Golden state, Miss Alice Rideout.
Judge of my surprise, too, when I learned
that this young lady, of whom our state
should be proud, won the prize for the
sculpture work on the Woman's Building at
the Columbian exposition in competition
with the women sculptors of the world.
had never before heard of the fact. 1t had
never been advertised by our press, and
thought that if the father of this talented
girl happened to have a son who was q
prize fighter he would have been known
all over the world" Enough said.

Sweet pastures Of His peace;

Of the State great injustice. The writer
says "The women who want suffrage ere
for the most part women who have no fami-
lilies to engage their attention, or who have
outgrown the homes which they have. "
Similar statements have appeared in other
Vermont papers which has led to an in

From the list of membership in Vermont

there are, at present, exactly II married

without families, one.half are teachers or
students in colleges two are physicians one

before it is granted.
The municipal suffrage bill was carried
through tho House of Representatives. in
manner truly creditable to its able author,
advocates and tho large majority that gave
1T their votes. 1t was a manly expression
of confidence IN womanhood highly com
