IDfniiesimal Penmauship.

John j. Taylor, Of S~treator, Ill.,, once
wrote 400 words on the blank side of
a rostal card. This was sent to a Chi
cago paper, which beralded the story to
the world as being the most wonderful
piece of pen work eve executed. As a
matter of fact Mr.. Taylor's effort has
been discounted on several occasions.
Beedle the Penman, of 0ttery ST. Mary,
Liverpool, once wrote the following
pieces entire, without the slightest abb
brevlation, all upon a piece of white
card board 31x31 inches in siz3: Gold
smiths 'sTrayeler, y ssThe Deserted vii
lage,' ESSAY on Education" distress
Of a Disabled Soldier" "The Tale of
Aim" .'Justice," generosity" cir
resolution of YOUTH" .sFrailty of Man,"
s1Friendship' and the aGenius Of Love-"
IN the center Of the card there was =
perfect picture o, ttory Ghuren, all of
the shades ar lines being formed of
parts Of the writing. Is a kind of tail
piece he added the anthem of stGod
Save the Queen embellished it with
seVenty-two stars, fftv-one creseents and
nineteen crosses, finishing the whole by
drs wing a picture of a serpent which in
closed the whole of the miraculous pro-
duction. Ii you wish to ascertain ex-
actly how much Beedle's effort exceeded
that Of Mr.. Taylor, count the words in
the Goldsmith pieces ~catalogued above.

LOVE MUST BE WON.

Love is not free to take, like sun and air:
Nor give away for naught to any one.
1t is no common right for men to share
Like all things precious it is sought and
won.
So il another is more loved than you
Say nok ut is unjust" but say: .If
she
Has earned more love than / it is her due,
When I deserve more it will come to
me-"
But If your longing be for love indeed
I'll teach you.how to win it-a sure way;
Love and be lovely, that is all you need,
And what you wish for will be yours some
day.

ward way that the environment of busi-
ness prepares for them.
Nor are we saying that only in domes-
tic service is tit employment for the
daughter of the suppositious mother who
asks the question that perplexes so many
anxious parental souls. The arts, the
sciences, several Of the trades, whole
line of skilled occupations calling for
women's softness. gentleness, deftness of
hand and nicely Of taste, offer for her,
without destroying that instinct of do
mesticity which in full flower makes
every true mother the ruler of sovereigns
and the keeper of honorable manhood.
We lift our eyes to broader horizon
than the mere present, and conceding
that the expulsion at one stroke Of the
women now in business employment
from the positions they hold would work
Ill and woe, we still hold that the true
| bread-winner and care-taker is the male,
and the true mistress of the home
is the woman, and that whatever
tends to unfit either for his or her proper
place is worthy OF all reproach.
The so-called emancipation of woman"
is fad that is doing to-day immeasur-
able harm. 1t is bringing wifehood and
motherhood into disrepute; it is making
the home mere boarding place; it is un-
sexing one sex and making of the other
clubmen, saloon habitues, tramps and
good-tor-nothings in large degree. 1t is
taking from young womanhood the
bloom of innocence and the gentleness Of
her sex and replacing it with those feat
ures that are foreign to her nature, and
that repel men whom she displaces.
Let the wife of the wage-earner'' dis
abuse herself Of the idea that earning a
living in the higher spheres Of life'' means
earning living in business, which often
est means living at the expense ofdomes-
ITCHY and womanliness. Ii her daughter
now justities the faith of her mother in
her that sue is morally strong" let her
not put her where temptation may test
the strength OF the moral sense unduIy.
If she would have her remain pure,
morally strong" and womanly, let her
not emancipate her from the influences
that have resulted in the character that
now adorns her. Better that she scrub
and rub; better that she dust and cook;
better that she toll in the household Of
even the uncongenial than that she shall
go down into the rough, and dirt, and
hardness, and cruelty, and uncharitable-
ness Of business life. from which men
themselves delight to escape for the re

plished housewife who is unemancipated

the introduction and sale of diseased
meats in the markets. Why is it that IN
the other food branch referred to it is
apparently impossible to keep up inspec-
tlon and to report for publicity the dairies
that are so conducted as to make their
milk supply dangerous? The simple
publication of the fact would be enough
to secure reform in every case Indeed,
the knowledge that impurity, i'll health of
animals and adulteration of the milk
would result surely in destruction of the
dairyman's business, would be sufficient
corrective.
In the meantime the people of the in
terror who visit San Francisco may pro-
tect themselves by refusing to use the
milk there supplied, until the authori-
ties demonstrate their capacity to deal
with the subject as Philadelphia does, for
instance.
AS for the dairies of the Interior we be-
lleve that there are very few if any
abuses in them. The food is better for
the animals; distillery slops are not used,
save IN rare cases, and if there is adulter-
alton, it is very limited. But on the
score of uncleanliness there may be some
causes Of complaint-just how great, can
not be known except there is official and
periodical inspection, and at times when
the dairymen least expect it. Nor do we
know how far it is true that country
cows are afflicted with disease. AS a
rule there is less disease among them
than among stable and shed animals and
those with restricted ranges. 1t would
be only common prudence to have ex-
animation made as often as quarterly
under shelter Of the local authorities. As
most dairies are located outside of city
limits at this point, the Board of County
Supervisors would certainly adopt an or
nance giving authority to the city in
spectors to enter and examine any dairies
III the county. Indeed, if any dairyman
resisted the inquiry it would damn him.
50 far as we can learn all the dairies
supplying Sacramento are entirely ready
10 submit to examination, and the pro-
prietors state their readiness to have the
milk supply tested at once and as fire.
quently as the city authorities may de-
sire. This would indicate confidence on
the part of the dairymen that their estab-
IIshments are without reproach. Still, it
may be that animals in milk herd may
have tuberculosis and the owner not be
aware of the fact until after fatal injury
has resulted to milk consumers.
The REcoRD-UNIoN renews the sugges-
ton made sometime ago that the dairies
be inspected, the milk supply Of the city
tested. and the public made aware OF the
results. Only u thoroughly competent
man should be employed to that end; and
one whose character is above reproach
He should be aided by an assistant or
two, and they be required to act in con-
junction and at the same time to remove
to the turtherest the liability of charges of
Partially and fraud being entered, and
also for the protection OF the inspection
against attempted bribery.

APPROVING REPORTS OF CABBAGE
CREMATION.

IKE VI ALIDN.
Lowell, Mass; Allegheny, Pa; Savan-
nah and Brunswick, Ga; Wheeling, w.
Va; Richmond and Norfolk, Va: Find
lay, o.; Des Moines, Ia; Butte, Mont;
Salt Lake City, Utah, Los Angeles, LaI.,
each respond to the inquiry Of The Phila-
delphia Record: rs garbage cremation
with you successful?' and each re9lies in
the affirmative.
70 the questions whether the bodies Of
animals can be disposed OF in a garbage
crematory, and whether the furnaces
give off disagreeable or foul odors, the
responses are first, yes, and secondly, no.
Some Of the places reply that on days
when the atmosphere is heavy slight
orders are noticeable, but not enough to
occasion complaint from even those re-
siding near TO the furnaces. Most of the
cities report no odors at all, no matter
what is cremated in the furnaces.
Los Angeles reports the use of crude
petroleum for fuel costing 40 cents a barrel
and that three barrels are used daily. In
Georgia pine wood is used and nine cords
are used every six days. At Salt Lake
City coal is used and seventy-one tons
week are needed to dispose of $50 cubic
yards OF garbage.
From Brunswick, Ca, the report is
made that in one instance the bodies of
eight horses were cremated in nine hours
and quarter with the use Of pine wood.
The reports from some points indicate
trouble in disposing Of the ashes, and Los
Angeles is experimenting to ascertain
the economic value OF the ash. But in
Sacramento we would have no difficulty
whatever in disposing of the ash from
the furnaces. Even if it remained in
heaps for a long time it would do no
harm as it is free from offensive smell
or any foulness whatever.
All the reports indicate entire satisfac-
ton with the garbage crematories-indeed
full approval of them as infinitely supe-
rior to any dumping or burial system.
There would seem, therefore. to be no
reason whatever why Sacramento should
not follow the example of Oakland and at
once order the city garbage disposed of
by cremation.

corruptly and scandaIously voting away

Why not have indicted them? They can

care nothing. Evidently Brooklyn is

The Oakland Enquirer asks: "Will
San Francisco and Sacramento news
papers please give as wide publicity to
the quick abatement of typhoid fever in
Oakland as they gave to its spread?" So
far as the RECORD UNION is concerned,
yes. We believe in even-handed Justice.
We despise.all efforts to build up one citv
by pulling down another. From the out
set we declared that Oakland ought to be
by all natural conditions a very healthful
city, one of the first in the world in that
respect, and we repeat it. Municipal
neglect, the ''wsit" policy, the "put off
until tomorrow" system Of government.
brought upon Oakland her fever ills.
Now that the epidemic is abating, will
the city profit by the lesson offended ma
ture has taught her? Will she do as every
one of her local sanitarians has warned
her she must do? Or will the old style of
neglect usurp the office of duty, until an
other epidemic sweeps over the city?
What will Oakland say to those who have
suffered; what to the friends Of those who
have died, because there was no food in
spector, no flushing of sewers, no pre-
vention of the clogging of drains, no
proper disposition of garbage? For what
has been there can be only regret. So
ciety is too large a body to hold to re-
sponsibility for the suffering that has
been-but it is not too large nor too well
hedged in at Oakland, or anywhere else,
to prevent the fixing of blame directly
upon the officers of the city, if there is
again visitation by epidemic disease,

CHAPLAIN MORRIS of the Victoria lost
his life in the effort to save the men in the
"sick bay" He had opportunity to es-
cape, but refused to do so, went to the
rescue of the sick men and enabled some
honor upon the whole line of his pro-
fession. Every sincere clergyman in the
land feels lifted up, bettered and prouder
to-day because of the nobleness of Chap
lain Morris. He honored his calling: he
placed his light upon hill; he died bet
ter than he could have lived; he swelled
the sum of goodness; he made Of his life
an example Of Christian heroism to which
a monument should be erected.
