one to which she would respond
The searching friendliness, the plain
advice, the needed reproof, perhaps,
would be taken from such a saurce
when it would raise insurrection
from another, and the influence to-
ward settled habits, to propriety in
dress, quiet manners and good prin-
ciples would be felt and needed.
There are unframed, untriended
girls of fairly good education and
family whose relatives are no more
fit to advise or help them than immi-
grants newly landed-girls whose
impulses are docile and good, though
manners and habits are not what
they should be Ito whom the per-
sonal training has been denied
which, in better families, begins in
the nursery, but who would simply
adore the hand which offered it to
them.
A task more delicate and divine
never was .profiered fine-minded

Following is an extract from an
address delivered by Ruth B. Ha-
vens, of Washington, D. c.. at the
recent Woman's convention at
Washington:
A Government clerk, a gentleman
in the same division and doing no
different class of work than the la
dies, once hazarded the remark that
"a woman in Office ought to be
ashamed if she did not make every
article of her own wearing apparel
except her boots" The reason for
this exception has been a problem.
1t is easier to make pair of boots
than a dress, and we have the re-
spectacle precedent of Hannah
binding shoes" He was asked if
he made his own pants, and said of
course not; and at once grew so
fractions as to discourage argument.
Yet tailors have always been men /;
and il woman should build her own

Good women are in the habit OF
taking charge of missionary pupils

providing for their education, clothes
and their start in life. They know
these pupils by name, write to them
pray for them, advise them warmly
and unselfshly.
Whv do not women of leisure
take such interest in American girls

ABNER AND JAY.

Now, Abner, shet your mouth,
please,
And bark spell TO me.
You've ben cussin' old Jay Gould
AS loud as loud could be;
You've ben tellin' all the folks
AS would listen to you boiler
That Jay was jest a robber
AS would steal mans last dollar.
II know Jay wasn't no snowy saint,
And I've said SO more than once,
But the pint want IT, make is this:
That he want a laundering Ounce.
He dind't go round snifflin
Because the times was tight,
And then turn in and vote tor them
AS robbed him day and night.
"Before Jay cast a ballot
He knowed just what it meant.
His votin' eye was open
To mighty wide extent;
And you've voted jest t suit him
And to shove his little cart.
Yet you give him fire and hankins,
And think your mighty smart.
Whatever you can say of Jay,
One thing is sartin' sure
He voted for his interests
And his ideas, simon pure.
And Abner, if for all these years
You'd jest done the same,
They wouldn't be no>milionaires
For you to cuss and blame.
You've voted for jays interests
Stead o. votin' for your own,
And so there amt no reason
For you to sigh and groan,
And until men learn to hustle
After laws and rulers true,
There'll be lots of millionaires like
Jay
And hungry chaps like you"

dresses, which is feminine work, af-
ter the days bread winning. why
should not a man spend his evenings
cheerfully cutting and making his
bifurcated apparel ? Simply because
he does not consent, and the woman
of the present does. Aud then it is
made matter of far seeking, scien-
tific lnvesti cation why women grow
old faster than men, and the Aedge-
lings of the Y. Nj. G. A debating
societies devote their long evenings
OF unbrOken leisure to dredging for
a.reason why women so seldom dis
tingush themselves in any one line
of achievement. The explanation is
provokingly near at hand. The wo-
man OF the present, though she
speak with the tongues of men and
of angels, and have the gift Of proph
esy, and understand all mysteries
and all knowledge" diffuscs her en-
ergies and spreads her talents over
twenty of the commonest avocations
and has not enough to go round.

JRFFERsoNyILLE, Ind. March o. -
Fire started In the saddlc-trcc shop OF
the Ipdiana state prison south, at II
.oeloek Thursday morning, and for q
time the entire prison was in imminent
the fire was an overheated furnace 1t
was some time before 1t was discovered,
and owing to the delay the flames
gained much Roadway They soon
spread TO tho new coalhouse in the
southern end Of the building. The
structure Is of brick, stone and iron,
but so intense was the heat that the
interior caught FIRE within half m
hour.
II was then deemed necessary to send
to Louisville for assistance and two en-
gines were sent over. There were over
six hundred convicts in the prison and
the excitement was intense. Instead Of
making an effort to escape the convicts
did what they could TO qucnch the
flames, and by o'clock the fire was UNI
der control The two dining rooms used
by the convicts and also the kitchen,
where dinner was being prepared. were
destroyed. The saddle-trec shop was
consumed. It was operated BY the
Clagget Saddle-tree Co.. Of Louisville.
They estimated their loss at go, 600. on
which there Is an insurance Of s25, 600
The loss BY fire and water TO the state
Of Indiana, as near as can be estimated,
will be $4,000. which i fully covered
BY insurance.

The wheat in the Valley is not near
so far advanced as it was this time
last spring. In many localities it is

is much better than that sown late,
which is very Indifferent. The drought
