Tho Trust Committed to Women.

1t must be conceded that in our time
women read books more than men. Men
are too absolutely absorbed in business, in
invention, in investigation, to read much
more than thenewspaper or the book per
tanning to their particular profession.
The multiplication of women's clubs is a
wonderful incentive to reading, for there
must be exhaustive study and thorough
research, by some Of the members at least,
to produce the truly admirable papers that
are often read before us.
Granted, as some assert, that women lack
in inventive faculty, may we not claim
that the service we are rendering is no
trifiing servicei We women, and the few
men who love these things, are keeping
alive in this practical, scientific age the
rare books that we cannot afford to lose,
and the literary. poetic faculty and insight,
without which the world would be blind
indeed
Let it be our care, then, to appreciate this
sacred trust, to conserve literature and
never to betray it by galvanizing into life

Intellectual Development of Women.

intellectual Development of Women.
The truth has been told so often that it
hardly needs repetition. Woman has been
developed intellectually, as all acknowl
edge, later than man. The reason is sim
pie. During the period of physical despot
ism this influence carried with it mental
despotism as well. and the more finely or
ganized sex inevitably yielded to the
coarser Over the greater part of the globe
to the present day women cannot read and
write. 1t was only in the time OF George
nv that there was abandoned, even in Eng
land, the old law of benefit Of clergy"
which exempted from civil punishment
those who could read and write-the as
sumption being that no woman could read
or write, and therefore that no woman
should have benefit of clergy.
A hundred years ago, in our own coun
try. we know by the letters of Abigail Ad
ans that the education Of women in the
most favored families went little beyond
reading and writing. All this is now swept
away; but the tradition that lay behind it,
THE Shadow of the Harem, "as it has been
called, is not swept away-the tradition
that it is the duty Of woman to eface her

There are some parts of Arizona that

Away down in the southeastern sec

within about two hundred miles where
wild turkeys abound. but then there are
enough of them in the narrow valley to

Thanksgiving, prospcctors, miners and
ranchcrs como into the canyon from us
much as one hundred miles away to
shoot turkeys for dinner on the great
day. For 4 day or so the slaughter is
tremendous. but the birds do not seem
to be thinncd out much by it, for they
are almost unmolcstcd during the rest
of the year. The place is SO far from

body will brave the hardship of miles
of desert hills and rocky cliffs except

they have to make ''jcrlly" of the

OUR BUILDING EDITION.

THE TIMES BUILDING EDITION is
making rapid progress toward the day
of publication. 1t will be splendid
exposition of the still more splendid
growth of Roanoke in 1892. We believe
that it will forecast strong revival of

the prediction.
No city of any considerable spirit re-

has been confined to speculative real
estate operations, and the monetary
Btringency due to the necessarily enor.
nous use of money to pay real estate
notes, which would have otherwise re.
NAMED in the regular channels of trade.
Still it will be found that the real estate
transfers of 1892 have been largely in
excess OF the demands for building lots
for that year, showing that the demands
the future have been anticipated to
large extent.
The plans for operations for 1893 are
Bull largely formative. 80 much de-

that it is too early to come down to de-

1892 and probably considerably in excess.
