Arranging Pansles.

You must pluck pansies every day if you would have them bloom continually There is not so great a field for their ar rangement in the house as with many other flowers. 1 have low. shallow, fiaring basket of amber glass in which lay them.
 A pretty way to arrange them is this; Along the edge of shelf, bracket, man. tel or whatever it may be, put in a row of small vases straight up and down, little yellow match jars shaped like a mug without handle (which you can find in any store where Japanese goods are sold), and into these put your pan sies with faces upright looking over the edge, only three or four in each. There is room for all sorts of delicious com binations and contrasts of colors in this arrangemsnt.--Mrs. Celia Thaxter.

A Persian Mode of Punishment.

An extraordinary punishment is now in vogue in Persia. It was introduced by the present shah with view to put ting stop to the petty pilfering that had had unbridled sway for hundreds of years. It consists in taking the culprit through the following "course of sprouts and is said to be very effectual, especially when it has been applied to one guilty of the third offense:
 The first time man is caught in the act of stealing he is bastinadoed" (beat- en on the soles of the feet with an iron rod) and made to sign paper declaring that that will be his last offense. If he forgets this when the soles of his feet quit burning and tries it again, the sec ond offense calls for the amputation of his right hand, If he is still obdurate, and goes at it left handed, the third and of course last resort is decapitation. - St. Louis Republic.

LIGHT UPON ISLAM.
ABoLo DEFENSE OF THE DOCTRINES
 OF THE KORAN.

Lucid Comparison of the Essential
 Points of the Religions That Have for Their Foundations the Bible and the
 Koran-Isiam Democracy.
 M Misner could not know the east any better than he does if he had been born there, and we copy from his new volume, Souvenirs du Monde Mussul- man" a few novel views and considera- tions addressed especially to statesmen and thinkers;
 The greater portion of the precepts of the Koran have meaning which es- capes us, because that meaning is at variance with our ideas and our man. ners and this is what gives rise to po' htical errors of an incalculable reach. The Mussulmans do not fail to return the attacks that are made upon them. Conceding to us the advantage in ma terial and scientific point of view, they hold that the riches and learning of the few do not make the happiness of the many, and they claim superiority for their moral and social constitution.
 Essentially democratic in it's origin, Islam has sumptuary law which puts a tax of 21s per cent. upon the jewels oi women and upon all objects of luxury, This money has served for centuries tc assist poor tradesmen and to buy them tools, Thanks to the prohibition oi wine and spirits, the social problem if solved for them. On seeing the dangers that hover oyer our civilization, the Mussulmans compare it to the smoking remains of burned tent. They think that if it should disappear in the flames of anarchy for want of an organic prin ciple il would be incapable of rising agafn rum its ashes. while their faitf

the use of a COW, a dozen hens and six turkeys for one year. At the end of that time she had accumulated enough money to enable her to purchase a mod est printing outfit. Then she devoted several months to the work of acquiring the rudiments of the printers art.
 When she considered that she was sufficiently proficient she went about the neighborhood soliciting orders for job printing. Her office was located in one end of the woodshed, and when it be- came known that she was trying to get together enough to enable her to study medicine she received more orders than she could execute, and money flowed into her cOfIsTs. As soon as she had the necessary funds she paid her uncle for the use of his COW and fowls. When she was eighteen years old she began to take the seminary course, attending the school during the winter and spring and working in her printing office throughout the summer. She sets the type, runs the press and delivers the job work herself, and she has accumu- lated snug little sum which will en- able her to begin the study of medicine shortly. She has charming manners and is therefore immensely popular in New Haven county.
 A woman who possesses the attributes of determination and business sagacity in marked degree is Mrs. Joseph E. Mcdonald, widow of the distinguished ex-United States senator from Indiana. When "Old Saddlebags" died he left all his earthly possessions to his widow, who was many years his junior. h. cluded in this devise was certain piece of real estate which the senator's chil- dren, by his first wife, alleged that he had intended to leave to them. The will was typewriter and it was claimed that several sheets referring to this prop erty had been taken out and others in- serted. This allegation was made the basis of Q contest. Mrs. Mcdonald, who is we'll preserved woman of distin. guished appearance, won the everlasting gratitude of the newspaper reporters and correspondents by insisting at the preliminary bearing that they should be admitted, When the opposing conn- sel demurred, she and her attorney de- clared that unless the proceedings were to have tho publicity which could be given to them only by the newspapers they would refuse to remain. After a protracted discussion and consultation the defendant carried her point.
 Bloomington, Ills, has just had cam paign ill which the determination of a number of women to carry out a pet purpose played an important part. Two members of the SCuDua uO..ad were to be elected, and as it waa the first occasion in Bloomington upon which women had been permitted to vote without objec- ton, the contest naturally attracted a great deal of attention. especially as the fair voters wece engaged in a campaign upon the issue that more male teachers should be employed in the public schools. The ladies held a mass meeting a few days before t6o election at which every point was thoroughly canvassed and dis. cussed, All questions bearing upon the law of woman suffrage were referred by the convention to Miss Fife Henderson, particularly brigbl yoprg lady, who is

mend that Mrs. R. l.. Stebbins be held to the grand jury for undue influence as practicing Christian scientist physi- elan and healer" Mrs. Stebbins has not been frightened by her incarceration and is as impressive as if she were free to go and come as she wished. She has a kindly, motherly face, and does not ap- pear to be at all apprehensive as to the outcome of her present entanglement with the law. She usists that she has done no wrong, and her determined na- ture prevents the fits of depression which usually come periodically tO persons i'm prisoned for the first time A very good index of Mrs. Stebbins' character is af- forded by her response to the question of a reporter who wished to know whether she had yet employed law yer,
 "Lawyery" she asked. What do want with lawyer? Has Jesus asked us to hire lawyers? Did he not say, Take no thought what ye shall say, for in that hour will be with youy" Mrs. Stebbins objects to being called faith healer. She says that she is Christian scientist, and was in the last class taught by Mrs. Mary B. c. Eddy, of Boston, the leader of the sect. While differing in its main lines from those of the three

Miss Henderson was moving around in cessantly on electioa day, and had any attempt been made to interfere with the rights of her sister voters she was pre- pared to resist vigorously. It might be just as well to mention that the Bloom ington women carried their point and triumphantly elected their two candi- dates. They were not interfered with and all of Miss Hendersons opinions as to the intent and practical operation of the law thus received unqualified vindi- cation,
 Mrs. R. l.. Stebbins, who calls herself a Christian scientist, IS locked up in Chicago on charge which is decidedly out of the ordinary. Mrs. Jennie Nich- ols died short time ago, and the cor oner's jury in it's verdict said that life would have been prolonged under prop CT medical treatment, and we recom-

be placed As long as the world wags along comfortably for her, the average female never gives any indication of the remarkable aptitude for taking care of herself which she undoubtedly possesses. But once let the necessity present itself, and the promptness and confidence with which she will rise to the occasion, be it ever so lofty, must compel the admira- ton of the sterner sex. Perhaps the most pronounced latent quality possessed by woman is determination. To set her heart upon thing is to have it; to wish for a profession is to acquire it and, in a majority of cases, to shine in it in after years.
 Miss Grace Wells, whose home is in the western part of New Haven county, Conn.,, exempliies in her own person the correctness of this proposition. Miss Wells seven years ago, when she was only fifteen, was anxious to be permit ted to prepare herself for the study os medicine, which it was her desire to take up when she had reached the age of eighteen. Her uncle, who was also her guardian, discouraged her by in forming her that he could not afford to pay even for the preliminary course at the seminary. Every one except the girl thought the accomplishment'of her desire an itnpossibility. But not so Miss Wells. She borrowed from her uncle
