You will agree with me that there are
tricks in every trade and profession. A
mother who steers the domestic ship
through all sorts of seas must be an
adept at the business. Her busines is
tact. She studies every member of her
family and applies her rules of tact to
every one. She has tricks of her own,
and she keeps them to herself. When
the children are small, if she wisely
forbids them certain thing which

sometimes applaud the woman who
hOrSewhips her traducer, but even the
most passionate advocate of womans
rights must dimly perceive that all this
may be carried too far.
Woman'S weakness has hitherto been
her defense. and when she elects to
substitute some other defense she must,
far served her so well. Veneration
for women is probably carried nowhere
upon earth SO far as in our own South
ern states, and the Southern woman is,
as rule, the most helpless of her sex in
the presence of violence or of such prob
lens as she has been accustomed to
leave to the solution of men. Yet two
Southern women have just been
lynched by mob of men because they
elected to abandon the softness of their
sex and to make themselves part of the
outlaw band composed of their father
and brothers.
Young women today find it irksome
that simply because they are women
they may not visit without escort EN-
tirelY reputable places, and NAV not
venture forth at night alone and un-
protected. 1t is highly probable that
should young women genera lily take to

they might presently find themselves
nearly as safe as men are in going about
the streets by day or by night. But.
should women thus appeal to physical
force they would surely miss the thous-
and and,one attentions and the delicate
consideration that they now receive at
the hands of most mel, and they must
speedily find that they had made poor

to youth carefully watched and guarded,
and admirably trained, amid surround
ingS lovingly adapted to the develop
ment of the best there is in him.
Parents are learning more and more
every day to appreciate the advantage
of physical as we'll as mental training,
and to understand that the two go hand
in hand. And very fortunate are the
children who have been born into the
new order of things.
Five Such little people are sthel chill
dren of Mrs. Richard Watson Girder,
the wife of the editor of the Century.
Mrs. Glider is deeply interested in the
subject of the training and education of
children, and sine tries to put her theor-
les into practical execution in her own
family: She believes very thoroughly
in kindergartens, and all of her children
attend one for two years, from the time
they are three OF four years old until
they are five OF six. After that thew
study at home for a few wears with n
governeSs, and, as they grow to be large
boys and girls, they will all be sent
away to school.
Mrs. Glider thinks that an exclusive
home training is apt to be narrowing in
its effects, and she liked to have her lit
tie ones brought into contact With COM
panions of their own age, that their
minds and sympathies may be broad
ened by learning early in life to under
stand how many needs and interests
there are in the world besides their own.
The oldest of the family is Rodman, q
boy of fourteen, named after his mater
nal grandfather; then Dorothea, who is
nine; George. who is six; Francesca,
three years old, a namesake and god
child of Mrs. Grover Cleveland, and a
baby, KoSamond

who is still in the nursery. At 1890
they go for walk. On their return
they have dinner, and this meal Mrs.
Glider considers of great importance.
1t consists of carefully cooked beef or
mutton, the different vegetables in sea-
son, and plain pudding of some kind.
Fork and veal they never have to eat,
and they are allowed no sweets before
their early dinner. After dinner they

as one is sure to go to some other part

must necessarily lie neglected on some
vacant chair during the greater part of
the evening. This is a clear case of
sweetness wasted on the desert air.

When they give party, that delight
of the childish heart, it is at 4 o'clock In
the afternoon, and their refreshments
are cake and ice cream.
All mothers like their babies to have
pretty things to wear, and Mrs. Glider
is no exception TO the rule, but she is
careful that it shall not be hainperng

herself with great care. and endeayors
always to have it not only comfortable
but picturesque. and for that reason she
avoids, for her girls at least, ready-made
garments, with their sameness Of de-

not want them to, but like to indulge

with boys, though; they prefer to look
like other boys, and are unhappy if
they do not"
Nine-year-old Dorothea has little
playroom, all her own, in which she
takes great pride and delight. In it she
keeps her dolls and books and other
girliSh treasures. 1t was there that
Mrs. Glider received me the other morn

me something of her children's lives
and their manner of education. While
we were talking. Francesca. Mrs. Cleve-
lands namesake, came into the room.
She is winsOme baby with big brown
eyes, sunny, chestnut hair, cheeks and

''Of COURSE" Mrs. Glider said, IF one
of my children were to show a strong
special talent in any direction, its edu-
cation would be modified accordingly,
but, in general way, it is as l have
told you. They keep regular and early
hours, spend good portion of each day
in the open air, eat all they wish of
simply prepared nourishing food, with
not too many sweets, and devote mod
crate amount of time to studies, varied
so that their bodies may be trained as

Mrs. Glider is a good mother, in the
best sense of the word. She is a mod

things that other women are doing in
these latter days, but she feels that her

4 stATERIAL roINr WITH snUrEs
The Weak Point in the Club Man
spend all is the strong Point
with "His Friends"

NEW YORK, June 28.-For some time
before, and ever since the death of Mr..
Astor, Mrs. Astor, mother of Mrs. Dray-
ton, has endeavored to bring about a
reconciliation between her daughter and
Drayton.. She was trying to do this be-
fore the recent scandalous publications.
1t is thought Mrs. Drayton is not par
ticularly anxious to become reconciIed
to her husband, nor has John Jacob
Astor any great personal desire to see
this brought about, but Mrs. Astor feels
that it IS absolutely necessary, and her
strong will dominates the whole family.
The impression seems to be general that
Mrs. Astor confidently expects that a
reconciliation will be effected, and this
is the reason why she left her daughter
when she went to Europe. The gossip
includes the fact that Drayton is very
obstinate. At first he would not hear to
the matter at all. He said that recon-
Citation was not to be thought of for a
moment; but now, it is said, he is being
persuaded to look upon the affair in
different light. Club men cay Drayton
has little to gain by a reconciliation
from material point of view. While
he has no money of his own, he has at
his disposal the income of the money
left his children by William Astor. No
one who knows anything about the
trouble has the least doubt that it was
upon Drayton's representation that
William Astor disinherited his daughter,
but it is whispered that there may be a
change in Mrs. Drayton's financial af-
fairs. Her share in the estate should
have been $3.50, 900. Now the story goes
that her brother, John Jacob Astor, will
give her this amount, and that he will
even increase it to around million. But
one man said: .'If this is done, no one
will ever know anything about it; you
see, it would place Drayton in rather
uncomfortable position to say that
reconciliation was effected upon this
basis

The Christian Church.

A very important convention of the
Christian church is In session this week
in Memorial hall, at Turner, Marion
county. 1t is estimated that 10000
people will be in attendance. Yester-
days session was devoted to Sunday
schools. Today is devoted to the Y. P.
S. G. E. Tomorrow will be the Chris
tain woman's board of missions day !;
Thursday, Friday and Saturday, Oregon
Christian missionary convention days.
Sunday, July 8. will be the closing day
of the convention, and will be given up
to preaching and praise services.
As this church has an organization in
The Dalles, and is carrying on good
work, it may be interesting to the public
to learn that the denomination will
count up about 5000 in Oregon, stand
ing at least third, perhaps second, in
numerical strength in the state. They
number almost 1000, 900 in this country,
and their growth is more rapid in pro-
portion TO their numbers than any re-
ligious body ON the continent. They
have no legislative body among them.
Their conventions are delegate meetings
of the churches for work and worship,
such as laying out plans and raising
funds for preaching the gospel in desti-
tute places, and discussing the questions
that affect the life and progress of the
church. They have about thirty col
leges and universities under their con-
troll, publish twelve to fifteen weeklv
papers, a large number of monthlies and
one quarterly. They have missionaries
in China, India, Japan, Turkey and At
rica. They claim to hold to simple New
Testament christianity, and believe that
they occupy the ground toward which
the christian world is rapidly tending.
They eschew all theological speculations,
and affirm that religion is a life Of
obedience to the Lord Jesus Christ, IN
spired by faith in Him as the divine
Savior.

LONDON, June 2S.-The Spectator has

by which young men may get rid of

creditors. All they need do is to enter
a monastery and become monks The
supreme court of the German em pire
has just issued decision to that effect,
the case brought before it being that of
Prince Edmond Radziwill. The latter.
several years ago and while still an ex-
ceedingly rapid member of the golden
youth OF Germany, contracted loan for
the amount of $50 900, which the lender
has never been able to recover. Some
time ago he entered holy orders and be-
came Benedictine monk, the pope APP
pointed him at the same time to be
member of his household with the rank
of monsignor. The supreme court has
now decreed that by becoming monk
and taking the vows the prince became
dead from q civic point of view, and
therefore can no longer be regarded as
party in any legal proceedings.
