Concerning Sorosis.

Twenty-four years ago the womens
club called Sorosis was founded IN New
York city. Its objects were social recrea-
ton and mutual improvement. Incl
dentaIlv in the course Of its existence it
has done considerable philanthroplc
work and at its meetings has discussed
educational, economic and scientific
topics 1t has no fad or hobby of any
kind. Woman suffrage and theological
topics are expressly forbidden to be dis
cussed at its meetings AS Il society II
has no reformatory views to urge, not
view. It is simply what have said,
womans club for social recreation and
mutual improvement. This ought to be
sufficiently understood by this time.
That blessed woman, Jenny June, its
founder, has explained on an average
100 times a year ever since it began
Just what kind of a club Sorosis is. But
now, after twenty four years, comes a
writer in st. Louis Globe-Democrat and
says: THE society called Sorosis ex-
lists, as is generally understood, for
the purpose of solving problems that
touch the relations of the sexes.
Hear, heart At a recent meeting of
the club the committee for the day
brought up the question of how best to
establish unity of feeling between hus-
band and wife. From the utterances
made quote as follows: Mrs. Yardley
says, "The arts which enslaved the lover
are never wasted on the husband" Eliz-
abeth w. Champney said this, Love
and tact are the best lubricants for the
domestic wheels" Other expressions
were to the same effect But the writer
in the CD, after exploiting the power
of love and giving it as a means of
making things go smooth in the family,
sapiently remarks: The strongminded
women of the Sorosis type are unable to
rate this form of virtue at its full worth.
They have no faith in love and no re-
gard for the wife who smiles and holds
her tongue" Dear, dear! | don't see
how any mortal can lie like that. Worst
of all, the CD. writer proceeds to
make out the average husband more
contemplate brute than | am sure any
Sorosian alive or dead ever dreamed of
his being Sorry indeed | should be to
think that the men, whose force, intel
lect and big heartedness | so admire,
were the foolish creatures this anti
woman's rights person sizes them up
to be. ELIZA ARCHARD CONNER.

Footwear for Winter,

The question of the ventilation of the
foot has been seriously considered and
various plans have been formulated by
which air may be admitted to the sole,
but no matter of practical value to any
large number of people has resulted.
There is, however, shoe in market with
a ventilated sole, arranged SO that the
air is admitted through small openings
in the heel, and the makers claim that
the feet will not get wet, but the shoe
seems to be hardly the thing to be de-
pended upon in any depth Of snow, and
would probably be chiefly useful in fair
the low shoe that is generally worn by
ladies at present, even in winter with a
CATER, is not more whole )me foot
covering than the high, close boot.
Every one agrees that rubbers are most
unwholesome, yet at present there seems
to be no practical substitute for them.
The best that can be done is to wear
them just as short time as possible.
The small footholds of rubber which
merely cover the bah of the foot and
protect it almost as much as the regular
rubber are not as Objectionable. A sub
stitute for a rubber shoe is thin layer of
rubber introduced between the layers of
the sole. This protects the foot suffi-
GENTLY from dampness, and if the boot
be made of stout calfskin and be prop
erly oiled before the wearer goes out it
will not be necessary to use the rubber
overshoe. We believe most shoemakers
make shoes with soles of this kind to
order.-New York Tribune.

The Difference.

The difference between the Chicago
and the New York girl is the difference
between the sweetbriar and the orchid.
One is a bit of nature, the other the per-
lection of Horticulture. There's an odor
md freshness and a willful little sting
about the sweetbriar which are mex
pressibly charming and refreshing.
There is velvety polish, patrician
,oftness and big, big price about the
orchid which no other flower possesses.
One has the tang of the prairie, the other
.he atmosphere Of the dollhouse.
Several days ago child was bitten In
the finger by black spider at Madison,
Ind. A few hours later the little ones
arm began to swell, and death ensued
on the following day.

LAWS CONCERNING NEWSPAPERS

The following are laws laid down
by the United States government for
the protection of newspapers:
l. Subscribers who do not give ex-
press notice to the contrary are CON
sidered az wishing 20 renew their sub
scriptions.
2. IL subscribers order the discon-
tinuance OF their periodicals, the pub
Usher may continue them until all ar
rearages are paid.
3. II subscribers neglect or refuse
to take their paper from the Office or
place TO which they are sent, they are
held responsible until they settle bills
and give notice OF discontinuancs.
4. If subscribers move to other
places without informing the publish
er and the paper is sent to their for
mer direction, they are held response
BILE.
D. The courts have decided that re-
fusing to take paper from the office,
or moving and leaving it uncalled for
is prima facie evidence OF intentional
fraud.
8. Any person who receives news
paper and makes use of it, whether he
has ordered it or not, will be held in
law to be subscriber.
Z. If subscribers pay in advance,
they a@e bound to give notice to the
publisher at the end of their time If
they do not wish to continue taking it;
otherwise he is authorized to continue
sendingit, and the subscribers will be
held responsible until an express notice
with payment OF all arrears is sent to
the publisher.
8. The latest postal laws are such
that newspaper publishers can arrest
anyone for fraud who takes paper
and refuses TO pay for it. Under this
law the man who allows his subscrip-
tion to run slong for some time unpaid
and then orders it discontinued, or
orders the postmaster to mark it RE-
fused, and have postal card sent
notifying the publisher leaves himself
liable to arrest and fine, the same as
for theft

L Is said that New York commits
SION houses are overrun with bank
messengers aad money brokers OIL
tefing TO lend them funds at almost
nominal rates and on almost any
sort Of collateral. The Union Trust
Company has decided to reduce the
rate Of interest on deposits to ono
per cent per annGru, and some Of the
banks are decliaidg new accounts:
they cannot find profitable employ
mcnt tor the balances in their bands.
Net deposits in the New York banks
are almost S534,00O 600, about 80
per cent more than at this timo last
year. The surplus is about three
times as large as one year ago and
SIX times as large as it was two

The Greenville Democrat says, s'the
law governing the state revenue agent
is probably the most outrageous of
any Of the many severe laws put in
force by the work of the Legislature
This law IS not only retro active but
inquisitosial, and places in the hands
of the state revenue agent the unheard-
of authority Of setting at naught the
WORK OF the tax assessors, the boards
of supervisors and tax collectors of the
various counties of the state, and OF
saying to the taxpayer you are q ras-
cal and have swlndled the state by
failing to list your property at It's
proper value; your tax receipts Will
avail you n6thing, and you must Pay
to thes revenue agent an additional
sum, - per cent, of which is plaoed
in the pocket of the agent himself. 1t
is not presumed that the state revenue
agent will attempt to exercise tie
autocratic powers given him; indeed
many members Of the Legislature cyl
dently supported the law expecting
that the agent would only exercise his
powers SO far as the same applied to
the corporations of the state and that
the land owners and small taxpayers
