members of the Salon parted for

feel that much benefit has been derived
from the practice OF conversational

Scholarships for Women.

The women of Providence are evidently
awake to the value of the privileges which
Brown University has recently offered to
women, the Rhode Island Women's Club
and the Women's Educational and Indus
trial Union having each founded partial
scholarship for the benefit of girls study
ing in Brown. The Women's Club Schol-
arship is a memorial to Elizabeth X.
Churchill In times past numberless
clever young men have been helped to fit
themselves for the thing they wanted to
do and were able to do, by means Of the
scholarships which are literally provided
in all colleges. Girls ought to have this
same sort of aid offered either as prem
ium on hign attainment, or to encourage
them to pursue special branches Of study,
them with the mere "sinews of war. b
Doubtless the work begun by the
Women's Club and the Women's Union
will be supplemented by other organize
tions which desire the true advancement

The FARMERS Side.
"Where we are, hon. ne got here,

BY Hon. w. A. PETER,
o. 8. SENATOR FROM KANSAS.

There Is q demand for a comprehensive and
authoritative book which shall represent the
farmer, and set forth his condition, the infu-
snces surrounding him, and plans and prospects
for the future. This book has been written by
Hon. w. A. PETER, who was elected to the

SIDE, and this indicates the purpose Of the work.
In the earlier chapters, Senator PETER de-
scribes the condition Of the farmer in various
parts of the country, and compares it with the
condition of men in other callings. He carefully
examines the cost of labor, of living, the prices
of crops, taxes, mortgages, and rates of interest.
gives elaborate tables showing the increase
Of wealth in railroads, manufactures, banking,
and other forms of business, and be compares
this with the earnings of the farmer, and also
wage-workers in general. In q clear, forcibls
style, with abundant citations of facts and fg-
ures, the author tells how the. farmer reached
his present unsatisfactory condition. Then fol-
lows an elaborate discussion of "The Way OUT
which is the fullest and most authoritative pres
entation Of the aims and views of the Farmers
Alliance that has been published, including fun
discussions of the currency, the questions Of
interest and mortgages, railroads, the sale Of
crops, md other matters Of vital consequences
This book is the only one which attempts 70
cover the whole ground, and it Is unnecessary
to emphasize It's value. It is q compendium Of
