College Girls md Marriage.

The question of what becomes Of the

importance, and with . view to throw

At a recent meeting of woman's club
the discussion of social customs in Ger
many. following delightful paper read
by Mrs. Bayard Taylor, brought out
from several speakers the opinion that in
n country where the soldier is SO marked
a figure in affairs the status of the wom-
an is not apt to be prominent. She nat
urally suffers by continual, if involun-
tary and scarcely recognized, comparison
with the sturdy and stalwart warrior.
This leads on to the reflection that
the time is going to come in the history
of the world when the standing armies
will be swept from the face of the earth,
and that, too, perhaps, by the banding
together of women. The peace associa-
lions of the world are by no means idle
even now. At the last annual meeting
of the Women's Peace association in
Manchester letter was read from q
prominent English clergyman, in which
he said: women have had great deal
to do with the admiration of military
heroes. They can do much in changing
popular sentiment about soldiers and
soldering" And he ends his letter with.
Il hope that your associations efforts
may be vigorous and effectual against
that wicked and consequently stupid
way Of settling differences by murder
which has SO long afflicted the world. "

The Direct Route East,

The Ohio u Mississippi railway, running
east from ST. Louis, is the short and direct
line to the national capital, and offers o
through train service which is not equsled
by any other line. It is, properly speaking,
the only direct through car line from the
Mississippi river to Washington.
The Ohio i Mississippi railway is the
only line running all trains through solid

being less than ten hours; and the only line
running double daily lines Of Pullman

NatiOnalism and OOnfscatiOn.

Nationalism and OOnfsCation.
Foolish persons, presuming upon the
ignorance Of those they addressed, have
sometimes spoken of nRtiOnslists as peo-
pie who proposed or desired general
confscation OF property. This is false.
The complete triumph Of nstionalism
does not necessitste the confscstion Of
penny, and, If coniscstion takes place, it
will be, as it was in the case Of the en-
reimbursement of the southern slaves,
without compensation, on account Of the
folly Of those concerned, in resisting ln-
stead of compromising in time with ire
sistible forces.
Meanwhile let US observe the scale on
which the present business system car
ries on con6scatien. In the recent break
in Wall street, it is estimated that $780,
100000 went in one stroke Of liquidation,
and since then the process Of liquidation
has been going on at the rate Of $5,OOO,-
600 or $lOOO0OOO day, lost by various
sorts Of bankruptcies and shriuksges. II
we have q general business crisis as the
outcome Of the present troubles, the
losses will reach $1,OOO0OOOOO n a
month or two, and how much more will
depend on how long the crisis lasts. An
estimate Of the general loss in this ooun-
try by the steady decline in prices since
1890 would make the reader dizzy, while
if the circulation be extended to include
Great Britsin's experience since the Bar
ings' failure and the recent colossal
smash in Australia, a still more vivid i'm
preston would be received Of the enor-
nous role which confscation plays in the
modern business system. In Australia
alone the total Of the failures Of the past
two weeks is estimated at $412,000,000.
And these immense losses suffered by
individuals, with the innumerRble per-
sonsl and family tragedies they imply,
are not the price given once for all in ex-
change for better social order, as they
would be if levied IN the name Of benef-
icent revolution like nationslism. They
are not paid for anything. They are
without any compenssting advantage.
They are simply thrown away.
Admit for the sake Of the argument,
what is not true, that nstionalism will
need to use coniscstion as a means.
Even were it 80, would it lie in the mouth
of q defender of the present business
system 10 object to it on that ground?-

The June Arena"


The June ArenG is q mammoth number.
1t is probably the largest magazine ever
published as a monthly issue OF review,
containing one hundred and sixty-four
pages, Of which one hundred and forty
four are in the body Of the magazine, and
twenty pages Of carefully written book
reviews by such well-known critics as
Rev. w. II. Thomas, d. D., of Chicago,
Helen Campbell, Hattie G. Flower, Ham
lin Garland, and the editor Of the ArenG.
Among the leading papers in this nots-
bic anniversary issue are: "Inssnity and
Genius" by Arthur Mcdonald; 1.-THE
Liberal Churches and Skepticism," by
Rev. Marion d. Shutter, d. D.; "Arsenic
versus Cholera" by II. B. Leach, NJ. d.,
is interesting and timely; "Women Wage
earners il the West" by Helen Campbell;
"Does the Country Demand the Free
Coinage Of Silver" by A. G. Fisk; "Save
the American Home" striking scono-
mic paper, by /. E. Dean; "Islam, Past
and Present." by Prof. f. w. Sanders,
one Of the most scholarly religious essays
OF recent times, and should be read by
all interested IN obtaining a correct idea
of what Mohsmmedanism is; "Union for
Practical Progress" by the editor, q
strong plea for the union Of progressive
and reformRtive impulses for educational
and praticsl work. Mr.. Flower also con-
tributes striking paper, entitled "Pari-
sian Fashionable Folly versus American
Common Sense" which deals with the
dress reform movement now being so
vigorously pushed by the National Coun-
Gil of Women Of America. This paper is
handsomely illustrated, containing
twelve or fourteen large photographers
Of Boston ladies in the new reform Co.'S
TUNES. Mrs. Frances E. Russell, chair
man OF the dress committee Of the Ma
tional Council, also contributes paper
on "Freedom in Dress" One Of the
most striking features Of this issue is
symposium advocating the charms OF the
maize as the national flower. To this
symposium a number Of eminent writer's
contribute, and the charms OF Indian
corn are set forth in such a way as to sp-
peal to the reason and sentiment Of all
readers. Altogether this il. a most nota-
ble. issue OF this great progressive review,
and no readers of magazines should pass
it by.

BANKERS
Backing Emperor William in Germany
and Cleveland Backing Bankers in
America,

backing the emperor in his attempt to
destroy freedom in the German empire.
The dispatches from the continent an
nOunce that they are subscribing hb-
orally for the new campaign. This is
not strange. All the instincts Of the
money power are on the side Of despOt-
ism; indeed, no despots Of modern
times are more merciless than the
money powers Of England and America.
The bankers are aiding the emperor to
destroy the political rights Of the people,
and they will confidently look to the
emperor when successful to aid them in
further enslsving the people.
There is a slight difference between
the attitude Of the German bankers and
the emperor, and the president and our
American bankers. In the former case
the bankers are backing the emperor;
with US, President Cleveland is backing
the bankers. This statement is borne
out by the fact that Mr.. Carlisle has
been in close conference with the bank
srs on the present financial situation,
and the daily press seems to imagine
this mark Of good judgment, instead
of q confession ofsubserviency to GLASS;
favored sristocrscy, which is sapping the
prosperity Of the nation.
Mark my prediction; the next four
years will be marked by great failures,
extension of hard times and an increase
in suffering among those who are not
favored by class laws due to the injus-
tice following on the era of special privi
leges, which Mr.. Cleveland represents
no less than Mr.. Harrison represented.
Am unjust? Let us see. Mr.. CleVe'
land is bowing before the gold power in
the most sbject manner, and showing no
quarters to the millions of the rank and
file of his own party who are pleading
for more money and who are driven al
most to the wall by the landlords of
the east. Senator Pugh has pointed out
that the reason the gentleman who fills
the position of secretary Of the navy and
who misrepresents Alabama in the csbi-
net, was chosen because he was the one
prominent Albanian who was opposed
to silver. In the May Forum Mr.. f. B.
Tracy speaks Of Mr.. ]. Sterling Morton,
to whom Mr.. Cleveland gave q cabinet
position, as "the one leading democrat
Of Nebraska who combRts the silver
heresy." Mr.. Tracy adds, however, that
Mr.. Morton's influence In the west 10
impaired with the people, owing to his
having been for years q leading railroad
lawyer.
In Mr.. Morton we have typed the
spirit Of Mr.. CleVeland's cabinet and the
spirit of his administration. Mr.. Olney
is corporation lawyer; Mr.. Lamont is
known chiefly for two things; he was
Mr.. CleVslsnd's private secretary and has
been connected officially with about q
score OF wonopolies, combines, banks and
other organizations which are fattening
of of special privileges. Isuppose there
has never been cabinet in which the
national banks and railroads are 80
strongly represented as in the cabinet Of
Mr.. Cleveland. 1t is melancholy fact,
but the manipulstors Of both the repub-
lican and democratic party to-day are

The first floor on the top side is given

are very large, perfect in shape and
very white. LanRtry and Mrs. Ken
dali have these hands in their perfec-
tion. And neither will conform 10 the
style OF wearing either long sleeves or
loose sleeves, because these detract
from the size and beauty OF the hand.
The aesthetic hand, TO be properly
shown of, must have very small.
tight sleeve. This makes the hand
appear large, and there must be no
wrist trimmings or bracelets. The
nails on such hand must be cut very
long and quite pointed TO lengthen the
fingers, and a ring may be worn on the
first, the middle and the little fingers
TO make the hand appear broader,
says the New York Recorder. Ada
Rehan has these aesthetic hands In
fact, she wears a IL glove, and even
larger sometimes, And when the
Montana statue was cast ia plaster il
was she who suggested that the hands
be made little larger, SO as to show
how perfect they are in shape"
The method of taking care of these
hands is peculiar 1t originated with
Lady Brooke. and was adopted by the
Duchess of Marlborough as soon as
she became engrafted upon English
morning and several times day the
hands are washed in very hot water
and soap, and are then dried, not upon
a towel, but in a box of oatmeal.
Langtry has an oatmeal box cxqnis-
itcly set with jewels, which she takes
with her wherever she goes, After
washing, the hands are rubbed dry in
the oatmeal, and arc then busted of
with soft towel. This is all the
treatment they ever get, and IL keeps
the English type OF hand in beautiful
condition--firm, smooth and as white
as bread.
The American type is quite different
from the English, but il is Just as
pretty in its way. II Is a short, thick
hand, with chubby fingers and almost
no wrist. Mrs. "Willie" X. Wander
bilt has hand of this type, and she is
so proud of il that she has had IL done
again and again in plaster, marble and
bronze. II is the aim OF this hand to
appear small, just as English hands
make the most of their largencss. To
make the American hand appear
smaller very long sleeves are worn,
and they point in n V. which almost
covers the knuclSlos, SO that the chubby
fingers peep forth, as IL the hand
were only half the size that il is.
An American hand properly dressed
appears no larger than pigeon wing,
and the care which is put upon il is all
in the direction OF making it still
