IN WOMAN'S BEHALF.
A UNIQUE woMAN's CLUB.

| Che Clever Way in Which They Become
| Posted on Leading Questions.
Less than thousand miles from New
York is a woman's club that is unique
! in its methods as well as its aims. The
object of its members is to educate
themselves in what is going on in the
| world, that they may be able to take
an intelligent interest in the vexed
questions of the day.
This is the declaration of their raisoz
d'etre: ''We want to know. We want
to hear both sides of every question
and to decide between them for our.
selves, from the woman's point of view
There is at present no source OF honest
information open to us: we can not de-
pend on the newspapers, for they are
hopelessly one-sided; our husbands and
brothers are likewise strongly partisan
books are too technical, and do not bear
directly enough upon the issues of the
day to Instruct u.s.
In this dilemma they have evolved an
admiral way to inform themselves. In
addition to the usual woman's clut
routine of papers and discussion by the
members, they have instituted what
they call ''open days" when members
may invite as many guests as they
occasions, which attract large audi
cnces of the citizens, the club is address
ed by man-the best-informed on his
subject, and the best known as an advo-
cate of it. He is brought from>New
York or Boston, or wherever he may be,
and asked to explain his views as fully
and broadly as he can, and-here ap-
pears the womanly wisdom-not to
speak of, much less attempt to refute,
those who disagree with him. Guests
and members are allowed to ask ques-
tions, which he may answer; but they
also are required to ignore the opposi.
ton.
In this way the club gets clear view
of one side of some point at issue, and
at the next meeting they import a
prophet of the opposite opinions. and
listen to him in the same impartial
way.
This is the plan, and so far it is well
carried out. The country is secured foI
the best exponent of, say, protection, .
and then for the clearest-headed advo-
cate of free trade" No subject is ta-
booed; politics and religion, universal
suffrage, divorce, and the position Of
women-all are open to discussion in
this tolerant spirit.
The consequence is wonderful awak-
ening in a heretofore sleepy, aristocratic
village. Women are aroused as from
the dead, and flock in crowds to join
the club. When they began, there was
hardly a woman in town who knew
how to preside or conduct meetings; but
women who never did thing outside
their own domestic and society realm
have developed unsuspected capabilities,
and now, though less than year old
the ASSOCIATION has broad and progress
sive constitution, and is well officered
throughout.
The leader of this movement-the
soul of it, in fact-is herself a remark
able product of the century, deeply wise
and utterly worldly.-Harper's Ba

Higher Council of Labor.

A British consular report gives an
account of the new "Higher Council
of Labor which has come into exist
ence in Belgium. The object of the
new body is to form permanent
centre for the local councils of indus
try and labor, and to act as the inter-
mediary between them and the Gov
ornment; it will also advise the ALL
thorities in regard to labor Legislation
aud labor questions generally. 1t IS
composed of AS members, 10 repre-
senting employers and 16 workmen,
while the remaining IL are selected
for special knowledge of economic
questions, all being, in the first In
stance, nominated by the Crown.
They are appointed for four years,
after which time it is hoped that the
organization of the local labor coun-
ellis will have improved so as to be
capable of electing the representatives
of the employers and workmen. The
members during sessions are to re-
ceive S1.20 day and travelling ex-
penses. The first subjects for discus
sion are the application of the law of
1889, regulating the work of women
and children, apprenticeships, tecEni-
cal education, insurance against acci-
dents, etc. The names of the first
members have been published by
royal decree, but it appears that the
Socialists among the workmen are not
satisfied because they think that The
clerical element is unduly represented.
Another Socialist has resigned because
his party, which is in a majority in
the local, is in a minority in the higher
councils. Further trouble from this
source is inevitable.

Restoring Breath in Desperate Cases.

Anybody may be called upon 10 af-
ford assistance to drowned persons
while the doctor is being sent for, and
Professor Laborde's simple method
for restoring breath when all other
means have failed deserves to be uni
versally known.
The other day at watering place
in Normandy two bathers, young
man and boy, who were unable to
swim, went out of their depth and
disappeared, They were brought on
shore inanimate and were taken to the
village. Two doctors were sent for,
but the young men gave no sign of
life. and they were declared dead.
Nj. Laborde, who was fishing at
half an hours distance, came up as
soon as he heard of the accident. He
examined the body and found that the
exuemities were cold and the heart
had stopped. Then taking hold of
the root of the tongue he drew it vio-
)emtly forward, giving it a succession
of Jerks in order to excite the reflex
action of the breathing apparatus.
which is always extremely sensitive,
says the London News. At the end
of few minutes a slight hiccough
showed that the patient was saved.
la addition to the usual restorative
means, Professor Laborde in extreme
cases rubs the chest with towels
soaked in nearly boiling water.

of buildings. He also shows that
their lathe tools were set with jewels,
and that they did work with them that
would puzzle the modern artisan. In
one place he found where the lines of
cutting on a granite core made by
tubular drill form uniform depth
throughout, showing that the cutting
point was not worn as the work adj
vanced.
The regular taper Of the core would
also go to prove that the drill was set
with jewels on the inside and on the
outside alike, thereby facilitating its
removal. In some specimens of
granite lie found that the drill had
sunk one-tenth of an inch at each re-
volution, the pressure necessary to
accomplish this have been at least two
tons. The capacity of the tools and
the skill of the workmen are illustra-
ted by the clean cut they made
through soft and hard materials alike,
there being no difference in the width
of the groove when it passes through
soft sandstone and granite hard as
iron. Nothing is known concerning
the material of which their tools were
made nor how the jewels were set
The diamond was very scarce at that
time, therefore the only logical con-
clusion is that they used corundum. -

NO. l..
To.Morrow.

When Father Time,
Now old and gray,
Was in his prime.
I've oft heard say.
His one quest was tomorrow.
With Eve he talked
The matter DER,
With Adam walked,
His spirit sore
His search was one of sorrow.
From Jordan's tide
TO far Cathay;
BY Tiber's side
In Cnsar's day,
Fresh trouble he would borrow;
For where he went,
Twas all in vain,
Past time was spent,
To-day was plain
But where, where was tomorrow
And so we see
Him gray and DID,
F., And so he'll be
Through years untold,
There's no ease for his sorrow.
Go where he may,
He simply find
Just plain to-day,
Which lags behind
That false mirage-tomorrow.

CRIME IN WORTH COUNTY.

a Man aud Woman Beaten With a
Plow Line and Bludgeon.
From the Albany (Ga,) Neics and advertiser.
Some time ago Thomas Ireland, living in
Worth county near the line of Colquitt, had
some Misunderstanding with his wife, and
the latter becoming enraged, ordered him
away from the house. Mr.. Ireland is a
man about SO or So years of age, while she
is in the neighborhood of AZ.
His wife having disagreed with him Mr..
ireland left home and took up quarters on
his own premises in q different house from
the one in which be had been living with
his family, and being alone, employed Miss
Josephine Champion, a young lady living
neighbor to him, TO wait on him.
For some reason his neighbors in Colquilt
county took up the idea that he had not
acted right by his wife, and on Saturday
night, Jan. %, twelve men approached the
house where he was living, and without
warning subjected him to gross iDdignity.
When the went to the house they beat the
door down with fence rail and gained ad-
mission in this way. Mr.. Ireland, who was
sick in bed, was dragged brutality into the
woods As the men entered they ignited the
wads OF cotton that had been saturated
with kerosene and, throwing these upon the
floor, made dash for their intended vic
tim.
But for the fact that Mr.. Ireland was sick
that night Miss Champion would not have
been with him. She had not gone home, as
she was detained in waiting on him, aud
when the mob entered the house both
parties we're taken violently and carried to
a branch about 100 yards from the house.
There Mr., Ireland was stripped Of all his
