Injured by Gas.

Gas consumers often complain that
books, furniture and pictures are in
jured by the small quantity of sulphur
which, despite all precautions, passes
through the burners. But DIR. Odling,
+. II. s., and Prof. Lewis, in giving
evidence b fore Lord Sandfords Com
mittee on the Crystal Palace gas bill,
declared that this idea was an error.
The damage was not due to the sui
phur, but TO the heated zone of the at
mosphere above the chandelier. The
sulphurous ingredient was so small
that four ordinary lucifer matches
struck in the course of six hours would
yield as much sulphur in n room as

The Woman PREACHER.

There seems to be no objection what
ever 10 women taking control of Sun
day schools, benevolent institutions,
church fairs, festivals and all other
means Of caring for the tlocks and I'LL
ing the ecclesiastical eNchccQuer, but
when it comes to women IN the pulpit
there is trouble at once. This is only
another of the relics of barbarism.
In old times If the church could get
cont oil of the women and little chit
dren they felt pretty sure of their abil-
ity to manage the rest of the human
family.
Half century ago woman doctor
was scarcely recognized in reputable
circles, and woman lecturer was u
monstrosity. Contrasting that date
with the pi esent, and taking note of
the change in sentiment from one dec
ade TO another, it is scarcely too much
to expect that by another fifty years
we shall see IA most wonderful revolu-
ton in matters of this sort. 1t is safe
to predict that, before the end of the
first decade of the next century, the
woman preacher will be no more of u
novelty than the woman doctor
now is.
Woman is specially fitted for such
work, and even were she not so it would
only be the strictest kind of justice
10 give her some of the honor as well
as u st of the hard work OF the church.
When once it dawns fully upon the
m nds of the people of this generation
that there Is no Sex in intellect or

How NottoE Exterminate the Indians.

Let us not vigorously crowd the lndi-
ans to abandon tribal organization. If
this is done before they are ready for it,
they will surely lapse into degradation.
Let them remain in compact bodies on
reservations to help one another over the
change and do not compel them to com
mingle and compete with the white race
in struggle in which they must be hope
lessly doomed. Slowly by law and by
instruction teach them the value of our
property laws. Do not force citizenship
upon them, but let them sue for it. We
should hold ourselves ever ready to a ant
it, but let them first discover its benefits.
If such a policy is maintained for two
generations more, the problem will be
solved-the remnant of the Indians Will
be saved and absorbed in modern en-
lightenment.- Major }. w. Powell i'll
