BY THEIR FRUIT YE SHALL
KNOW THEM.
IRam'S HOrn.l

Drive the devil out Of the family
and he will soon be homeless.
People who are noisy at a church
entertainment are generally very quiet
during revival.
God made the sun to give light but
He gave every man the right to put
I'D shutters on his windows.
You can't always tell how much re-
ligion a man has at home by the way
he shouts at a camp meeting.
There is no virtue in doing what
we have to do, for even the devil will
behave himself when he is chained.
The truth that is aimed straight at
the devil will be sure to make some
highly respectable people dodge.
There are people who think that if
they behave themselves on Sunday
they have done more than enough.
There are people who honestly be-
lieve that the meaning OF religion is
to belong to the church and wear
long face
"Thy kingdom come" doesn't
mean less than dollar a year for
missions and a turkey dinner for your
self every Sunday.
The kind Of religion that tells in
the long run is the kind that never
howls and growls because there is no
pudding on wash-day.
If the devil can only show that the
preachers walk is not quite as straight
as it ought to be he doesn't care how
we'll he breaches.
Put the right kind of good man
in any community and he will soon
make every mean man among his
ncighbors feel ashamed Of himself.
The meanest man in the world will
agree to every thing you say about
him as long as he thinks you are talk
ing about somebody else.
There are church members who
claim in prayer meeting that they are
willing to follow the Lord anywhere
who break for the back seats whenever
an effort is made to have revival.

Another Decision Wanted
baskerville CitiZen.l

The essence of Judge Taft's decision
in the Ann Arbor railway case seems
to lie in the following extracts taken
therefrom
The Interstate commerce law made it
mandatory upon connecting railroads
to receive and deliver passengers and
freight, and to afford equal facility for
the interchange of traffic. Corporations
can act only through their officers, agents
and servants, SO that mandatory pro-
visions of law which apply to a corpora
ton apply with equal force to its officers
and employees. An act
when done by an individual in the exer-
else of right may be lawful but when
done by a number cOnspiring to I'M ure
or improperly influence another, may be
unlawful. One or more employees may
lawfully quit their employers at will, but
a combination of q number Of them to
do so for the purpose of iniuring the
public and expressing employers by I'M
justly subiecting them to the power of
the cOnfederates of eXtOrtiOn Or for mis-
chief is criminal.
Very good ; this clears the air i'm
mensely. Now let US have a decision
to the effect that employers who COM
bne to keep out of employment men
who have LETT their employment or en-
gagged in strike-blacklisted them
in short-are also guilty of conspiracy
for the purpose of depriving the dis
charged men Of means of livelihood.
After the last great strike of telegraph
ers, strike that failed, hundreds of
men who had done nothing but CON-
bine for the purpose of attempting to
secure living wages, were blacklisted"
and driven into other employments.
1t will also be refreshing to see judge
take a special train to fly to the rescue
of men who may call for such de-
cision as we have indicated. A Judge
was accommodating enough to do this
in the Ann Arbor case, and it was
proper that he should-provided he
paid for the train and was not there
fore under obligations to the railroad
company-for the public interests de-
handed immediate action. But it
will only be fair to show equal zeal for
individuals as we'll as corporations.

cheaper than England or New Eng

The competition of the South with
the South is the very thing to check
the growth of cotton manufactures.
Certain lines may be temporarily over
done from time to time, but in the
general field the way is open to the
South to 60 ahead for long time to
come.
Think of fifteen million spindles
standing idle in Manchester alone,
when as yet, in the three States of
North and South Carolina and Georgia,
there are about four and half mil
lions of spindles all told. The South
can start many mill and yet before
its influence is very much felt and es-
pecially in lines of finer goods. Even
though the South is in position to
survive in the competition with other
sections, when it comes, that compe-
tition for existence is long way off
yet. D. A. TOMPKINS.

The pangs Of piercing sarcasm, the long

TO ENRICH INTELLECTUA
LIFE IN THE COUNTRY.
baltimore Sun.

A new development of the I" unlver-
sity extension" movement in England
contemplates the extension of means
of culture to 'sladies resident in subur-
ban districts, jewellers in rural localities
members of work!ngwomen's cubs,
Institutes and night schools" The
purpose is to utilize for the propaganda
the culture disqualified but unemployed
lady students. The organization is
supplied in England by "the Associa-
ton of Women Pioneer Lecturers,
which undertakes to provide lectures
by women who have passed examlna-
tons stringent enough to assure their
efficiency. Into localities already we'll
provided with lectures and other like
stimuli to useful thought the Women
Pioneers will not enter, but neglected
neighborhoods that are intellectually
stagnant will receive, it is thought,
much benefit from their labers. The
lectures are to be delivered on such
subjects as literature, art, history,
science, economics, &c, the object
being to facilitate the higher education
of persons not reached by other agen-
cies. The association sends out thirty
lecturers from its four centres of work.
The idea is an admirable one and
if judiciously carried out will doubtless
do much to brighten the intellectual
life of sleepy rural communities. In
almost every locality there are women
Of excellent education whose time
hangs heavily on their hands for want
of occupation. They would be glad
to turn their culture to use for the
benefit of their neighbors if suitable
machinery for the conduct of the work
were provided. The dullness and
desperate gossiping of the average viii
lage is proverbial-all arising out of
the want of rational mental employ
ment. The frequent introduction by
lecturers of topics of general interest
would widen the horizon Of the villager
and thus enliven his existence. Were
their system once set in motion over
an area of some extent it would pro
badly soon be self-supportlng and
people would wonder how they got
along at all in the old way. Every
one has noticed the difference between
"live" community, in which every
body is interested in some line OF
reading or study, and " stupid" one,
in which nobody is rejecting upon
anything outside the dull routine OF
his or her own uneventful life.
The benefit of getting members of
communities together for lectures, dis
cussion, &C., is illustrated admirably
by results achieved in some of the
counties of this State. At Sandy
Spring, in Montgomery county, for
example, there is an active and agree
able intellectual life, due largely, it
is believed, to the systematic attention
given by the people to the advantage
of constant interchange of ideas on all
sorts of economic, scientific and liter
airy topics. Interests are diversified,
existence is frightened and the hum
drum of country life is broken up.
The farming of Montgomery is all the
better, it is believed, for the discussions
at periodical gatherings. What is
good in this way for one community
is likely to benefit another. Country
life cannot but be impoverished if the
city is relied upon for all entertain
ment of an clevating character.

Souvenir Quarter Dollars.

The 10000 souvenir quarter dollars
which congress authorized to be minted
for the Board of Lady Managers Of
the Worlds Fair, will be issued, it is
expected, about May I. These coins
are of peculiar interest for several rea
sons. In some respects the Isabella
quarter is a much greater novelty than
the Columbian half-dollar, as the coins
bearing the Spanish Queens portrait
are much more limited in number.
The act of congress authorizing their
issue only provides for the minting Of
$4,000 or 10000 quarters, hence
there is every reason to believe they
will be extremely rare. They are GER
tain to command the attention of
women the world over, since they are
the first recognition by government
of the position that women are attain
ing in art, industrial and social move
ments. Undoubtedly the women Of
the country will regard this as their
special souvenir, and, as so few will
be minted, the demand for them will
be proportionately great.
The coin itself will be a work of
art. The same care and painstaking
attention will be devoted to this issue
as succeeded in making the Columbian
coins such marvels of the mining art.
The full desi On has not been announced,
but the diverse side is to bear the por-
trait of Queen Isabella of Spain.
One of the special features of the
new coin is that it is the first issued by
this government to bear the portrait
of woman. Other coins bear ideal
lied representations of the fair sex,
but this is the first to be honored with
the authentic reproduction of a par
ticular feminine face. The coin is in
tended by the national government to
commemorate two important events
the aid given by Queen Isabella to
Columbus which enabled him to make
the voyage of discovery to America
and the first special provision made
by the United States government for
the adequate participation of women
in an enterprise of worldwide i'm
portance.
Apart from the general interest i'm
parted to the coins of national legisla-
ton and historic associations, their
market value will be augmented by
the fact that every coin collector in
the world must have one. The Cath
olcs throughout the world and the
people of the Spanish race will be in=
terested in the souvenir in apprecia-
ton of the honor extended to the
memory of their greatest Queen by
this government.
