beautifully. They contract the
waist too much. A perfectly healthy
woman ought to breathe as deeply as
man, Can most women do 1t? We
think not. They rest the weight of
the clothes upon the hips; they wear
thin shoes with paper soles, aud often
have cold feet, with a congestion OF
blood about the trunk. We like to
see pretty feet; but we really wonder
how many lives pf ~ feet cost in
these United ~ S's! What of
woman's hous9S work? In the
first place, it q monotonous work.
No man would ever endure it. So
little change of scene or faces, with
day after day the same endless toll,
with the same apparently barren re-
suits. Most women become inyalids,
not so much from overwolk as from
nerve tire. We hear great deal
about the poor workingman nova
days; but who thinks Of the working
mans wife? Then, TOO, think of the
farmers wife, and, above all, Of her
environment. We once examined a
poor woman for lunacy. As we
entered the house, and found a mis-
cradle rag carpet upon the floor, and
upon the dingy walls, besides the
usual chrome of some che erful death
bed scene, we noticed the picture of
a cemetery, with an unhappy indi-
vidual under weeping willow, she'd
ding tears over dismal tombstone.
Near this was framed memorial, in
a black border, of some dear departed.
A framed marriage certificate made
the col .ection very appropriate and
and complete. The woman's solitary
diversion was saving pennies and at
tending the country prayer meeting
We dined with them. Our bill OF
fare consisted of some tough, stringy,
boiled beef, some soggy boiled pOta-i
toes, a heavy dark material called
bread, and some celluloid pie. With
such surroundings bad family his
tory-living on innutritious, ill-cook-
coming insane? We think not. How
shall we prevent the i'll effects of
women's work? /. BY intermittent
periods of rest. Every woman should
provide herself with lounge upon
which she can throw herself at inter
walls during the day, and permit no
amount of prospective work to inter-
fere with her daily rest. ,. Women
need exercise. Even after a hard
days work, let her take long walk
in the open air. Women need more
variety In their work. The introduce
tion of lawn tennis as a populargame
will produce a generation of stronger
women. For healthy women, horse
back riding is unsurpassed as
| an exercise. Dancing, in modera-
ton, is likewise excellent. Rowing
is an admirable stimulant of the Cir
culation, and, strange as it may
seem, the homely art Of sweeping is
not to be despised. When you take
walk, have an object. Take up the
long. neglected study of botany, geol-
ogy or photography. Have some
charitable work, and don't watch
your little aches and pains. 3. Dress
sensibly. Your husband will agree
with me that you never look so sweet
and lovable as when you wear your
tea-gowns. You don't need to appear
slovenly. The most artistic dress is
that which shows the true shape OF
the human form, without exaggera-
ton or distortion, and is far more
healthful.-Health Record.

The Minister'S BARNS New
Clothes.
BY Rry. .. rREEMAN AsnLEr.

The Rev. William Washington was
the pastor of small church many
years ago in Port MouioD, an obscure,
isolated hamlet in tho southeastern
part of Nova Scotia. lie was tho
father of two daughters and eight
sons. Ills salary was 50 small hat these
children were not like those (which are
"gorgcously apparcled and live deli
cately," or ''live in kings courts"
What was left of the mothers gar
mcnis were made over for the girls,
and when the father got through with
his coats and trousers what was left
of them descended in true apostolical
succession from father to SONS, from
the eldest to the youngest. SO little
was left at the end of the succession,
the raging was chronically empty; it
couldn't stand up even when propped
in corner, but hung on nail in the
dark closet as fl It aud as thin as a sun
dried Goldfish.
But Mr.. Washington had so much
trust in the wisdom of Providence,
and so much confidence in tho rccli-
tude of his own purposes, that he
gave himself little trouble about the
descent of ministerial clothes. In
ferior things of this sort were left en-
tirely 10 the care of Mrs. Washington,
whose practical mind aud patient fin
gers at times threatened to make use
of the ragbag itself for the repair of
breaches in the family wardrobe.
Many time had The boys good reason
for saying: "There is a divinity that
shapes our ends-rough-hcw them as
we may;" for the miracles she
wrought over the posteriors of panta-
looms were marvels of maternal in
genuity. Still, there was a limit even
to her resources, and there were times
when needle, wheel and loom were In

The service ended summarily; young
and old rushed for the door and the
Like, leaving the minister to follow, if
he chose, which he did, and at no
leisurely pace either. Uncle Sol was
left far in the rear, saying to himself
with a chuckle: "The meenister hae

True, there is point at which
outside interference comes in; at
which mercy takes cOgnizance of
the child's helplessness and comes
to his rescue. The mother may
raise him where she will, and how
she will. She may corrupt his
morals and provide for the ruin of
his soul; but she must not kill
him. If she should be cruel and
unnatural enough to put an end to
the little life which is so helpless
in her hands, then indeed she comes
within the purview of an offended
and outraged law, and will be held
sternly to account fer her inhuman
deed. Unnatural, truly, and horri-
BILE beyond belief; and yet, is it
more unnatural than to let the
child live, and ruin it's life? How
inadequate are all human laws,
which reach so far, and over-reach
so much.

SOUTHERN PACIFIC WORK.
Some of the Beauties of Monopoly
ExempIified.

VALLEJO, July Now that the
steamer Rosalie has been pulled off the
Vallejo route with no prospects of further
interference Piper. Alden & Co. announces
tonight that on and after july 10 the fare
to San Francisco on the steamer Sunol will
be 80 cents. This move on the part of
Piper, Alden & Co. is generally understood
here to be the outcome OF an agreement
entered into by the owners of the steamer
Sunol and the Southern Pacific, by which
it has been agreed that Piper, Alden &
Co. relinquish all right to passenger traffic
from Vallejo to San Francisco on demand
Of the Southern Pacific. Piper. Alden &
Co. do not frankly deny that they were
supported and urged into carrying pas
sengers during the late opposition for it is
known that the Sunol coaled adlibitum
from the Southern Pacific sheds at Vallejo
Junction, and that Piper. Alden & Co.
were given handsome bonus to push the
Sunol in making fast time as we'll as in
assisting to defray the cost Of extra labor.
Tonight Vallejoites will denounce the
action of Piper, Alden Il Co. ad there is
talk of giving the owners Of the Sunol the
cold shoulder in freiRhts as well as pas
senger traffic by combining and charter
