A Cry For Freedom.

In her sermon at the meeting of the
en- at Chicago Rev. Annie Shaw said:
"All the women who have spoken at
these meetings have voiced the one cry
to be free" Very good. But it must
DO admitted that they are getting their
freedom about as fast as reasonable
beings could expect. Surely the pre-
cept that st. Paul laid upon them is not
now regarded as an immutable principle.
At the meeting referred to 1S pulpit
women sat on one platform. Among
them were Revs. Mrs. Upper Wilkes
and Mrs. Mary Stafford, Unitarians; Mrs.
Florence Kollock, Universalist; Miss
Annie II. Shaw of the Methodist church
at large Miss Caroline j. Bartlett, pre-
siding minister of the meeting, also a
Unitarian minister; Mrs. Mary Moreland
and Miss Jeanette Olmstead, Congre-
gationalists; the colored evangelist, Mrs.
Amanda Smith, who short time ago re-
turned from missionary work in Africa;
the Rev. N. Armine Brighman Of the
Seventh Day Baptists; Mrs. Jane S.
Richards, Sarah n. Kimball, Isabella
Horn and Elmira S. Taylor of the Latter
Day Saints
No better evidence than this is needed
to show that the sex has got pretty
good range of the religious world. That
they have an equally clear range Of the
moral and social world goes without say
ing. AS for the civil and political realm,
the reason why they have not occupied
it with the men is chiefly because ma
jority of them does not wish to do SO.
Concerning the business world, there
is nothing to restrain the free exercise Of
their powers in it. They already do any
thing in the industries which their health
and strength will permit. True, they
have never cut much of figure in the
fine arts and sciences, but this can be due
to no restraining influences at present,
even were it SO in days gone by,
The women? God bless 'eml They may
have the earth if they want it. But
looking at the question squarely, Rev.
Annie Shaw's cry for freedom is just
a bit like taking Goals to Newcastle.

Only Rich omcers Need Apply.

1t is somewhat hard to find suitable Of
fcers of the army and navy to occupy
the places Of military and naval attaches
to the United States legations in foreign
countries. To satisfactorily fulfill the
duties Of these posts plenty of money is
an essential requisite. A man attached
in such capacity to the embassy at
Paris or at London needs private for
tune to keep up with the social require.
ments of the situation. He must move
in the most richly gilded swim and must
meet all sorts Of unusual expenses. 1t is
expected of him that he shall live like o
gentleman Of rank and wealth, because
the attaches at the legations Of other ma
tions are rich and noble.
A clear understanding of these facts
would lessen the number of applications
for these places which are sent In by
young officers to the departments Of war
and navy at Washington. They desire
the appointments for the sake Of the
agreeableness of the duties and the So
cial prestige belonging to them, not real
izing that they could not keep up appear
ances decently on their pay alone

A bit of timely advice is given by
the New York Times, which notes
that the Fourth of July is approach
ing with its accomplishments of fire
crackers, toy pistols and other deadly
weapons, and says it may be well for
the careful mother to recall the fact
that the little cotton frocks of her
daughter may be made fre-proof by
adding an ounce of alum to the last
rinsing water. Proper protection of
the little tots on Independence Day
is of the first Importance, and the ex-
pertinent is well worth trial.

Tho Promise to Obey.

The promise to obey ought no longer
to be either asked orgiven. Men as well
as women are learning to regard it as a
relic of barbarism. One young man Of
my acquaintance acted as "best man" to
a friend who was married by the Epis-
copal service. He was scandalized by
the BRIDES promise to obey and wrote
to his own sweetheart letter Of in
dignation and dismay. He said he
hoped it was not customary with other
denominations to use q similar form,
for he should dislike exceedingly to have
her promise to obey him. She answered
that he need give himself no uneasi-
ness; she had not the smallest intention
of promising anything of the sort. They
have been married 10 years and are II
very happy couple.
Methodist ministers are now forbidden
to exact the promise to obey, and it Is
fast going out of use in all denomina-
tions that are not tied to fixed ritual

Soul Communion Day.

The last of the II days set apart Dy
the Worlds fair management for ''the
parliament of religions" is monthly
whole world soul communion day and
the sixth anniversary of its institution,
Sept. 81.
The first whole world observance was
on the 9th of September, 1886, when
"there was silence i'll heaven for the
space of one-half hour" when greater
Or less number of the worshipers of all
the great religious faiths of the world
united for 30 minutes (time at all points
corresponding with the half hour inter
vening at Salem, Or, between 10 merid-
ian and 1890 past meridian) in invoking
universal peace and new and higher in
fiowings Of spiritual light.
OF course the Worlds fair manage
ment did not know In setting apart the
II days between and including Monday
the 11th and Sept. 81 that ''the parlia-
ment of religions" would terminate its
session on the anniversary of this the
most universal religious movement ever
instituted among men, but such is the
fact, and being so it is eminently proper
that the brief universal prayer season of
half an hour should on that day be ac-
corded to soul communicates and all
who will unite with them in invoking
with unifc soul impulses 'peace ON earth
and good will among men," Soul com
munionists will ask no more of the fair
management, as they are silent workers.
The time Of observance in Chicago will
be from 2:2O to 2:50 p. m, when there
and then will be gathered worshipers
from all the shrines of earth, and some
of all of whom will have been divinized
by continuous previous observances in
the most interior spirit Of the movement.
This is "the universal prayer gauge" "
which distinguished English scientist
some years ago called for, and its proofs
of the efficacy of unity of thought and
aspiration for the common good have
been wonderful and will be more Won
derful.-H. N. Mcguire in New York

Easy riting.

Another so called "true story" of the
conception of Buchanan Reads famous
poem, "Sheridan's Ride" is told since
the death of James E. Murdoch. 1t is
evidently founded upon more or less of
fact. Murdoch had engaged to recite
something at the great sanitary fair in
Cincinnati, and the day before he met
his friend Read at the Burnett House.
Standing at the newsstand, they saw
picture of Sheridans dashing ride to
Winchester in one of the illustrated pa
pers. Presently Read said, Jim, do you
think you will have time to learn some
thing new to recite at the fair?"
Murdoch promised to try, and Read
ordered a pot of tea sent to his room,
and over it he wrote the stirring poem
now so familiar to millions and found
in so many school readers, beginning;
up at the south at break of day,
Bringing to Winchester fresh dismay.n
He submitted it to Murdoch in a few
hours, and the latter read it the next
night as he only could read it. When he
had recited the first stanza, the vast au-
dience remained silent, but at the next
there was whirlwind of applause that
settled the question of its popularity in
popular assemblage.
Read might have written the poem In
a few hours, as stated, but it was doubt
less done with the same limitations that
nearly always accompany similarly re-
ported feats of rapid composition. That
is to say, it was well outlined in his mind
before he saw Mr.. Murdoch.
Some one called upon Eugene Field
one day and said he heard that he was
poet. eyes" said Mr.. Field, 81 some
times write verses. And, by the way, 1
am just about to write one now. Would
you like to see me?' The man thought
he would, so Mr.. Field Immediately
dashed off a poem that he had been
months preparing and knew by heart.
He then sent it to the composing room as
if it were common occurrence, and his
visitor left profoundly impressed with
the ease Of writing poetry.

The Telegraph In China.

In recent report United States Min
lister DENLY of Peking says that by vir-
tue of the Russo-Chinese telegraph con-
vention the Chinese land telegraph lines
have been connected with the Russian

all parts of the world from any telegraph
station in China.

With the Sunday closing snag out
of the way, the Columbian exposition
at once moves on at rapid rate.
Public confidence in the management
has been fairly won, and it is the
manifest disposition of the people to
make the fair as notably successful
from a financial point of view as it
has been in other regards. The
childish and trivial threats of boycott
ting the fair because of the Sunday
opening decision, which have been in
dulged in by few jealous sectarians,
are the mere froth and eflervesance
of disappointment, and will speedily
be forgotten. 1t now rests with the
trunk line railway companies to con-
firm the bright prospects of the fair
by establishing liberal excursion rates
to Chicago.

Tho Largest Block of Coal.

An enormous cob of camel coal was
recently raised from the Abram col
lieries, Wigan, and sent by train to the
Alexandra dock, Liverpool, for shipment
to Boston. 1t is said to be the largest
block of coal ever dug from the earth
and weighs over 12 tons. 1t took nine
months to hew 1t out of the seam. It is
said that the cost Of obtaining 1t was
$1,000, or about eS3 per ton. When
raised, the cob was inclosed in a case of
planks, the weight of cob and case being
10 tons IL hundredweight. From Boston
the coal will be conveyed by train to
Chicago for the Worlds fair. There
have also just been shipped from Liver
pool several large blocks of salt rock from
the Cheshire salt district. Someof them
are skillfully carved into figures. Lon

There are yet in the north and
south some newspapers which dill
gently seek to fan the embers of sec
tional strife and to renew the bitter
ness which preceded the collision of
armed forces. Luckily, the seeds of
mischief scattered abroad by such
publications mainly fall upon barren
ground. There are but few men so
ignorant, and still fewer 80 unpatri-
otic or degraded, as to willingly lend
their aid to q renewal of fraternal
strife. The writers engaged in stir
ing up the buried animosities of the
past are mainly disappointed men
who have failed to impress the public
with any adequate notion of their own
personal greatness. No parsonage of

Fan-tan is truly a hideous iniquity,
fouling the fair fame of cur Christian
land in the tail end of this most
blessed of all the centuries. None
but predestined reprobate heathen
could fall so low as to gamble with
buttons for a fve-cent stake. The
innate virtue of our nation cries out
for the suppression of depravity so
awful by prosecutions for felony as a
mild means, but we must not stop
short of persecution and extermina-
tion if need be. How pure and
reraphic by contrast appear our own
innocent delight characteristic of our
high Christian civilization; to wit,
horse-race betting, stock exchange
gambling, monopoly competition, bank
wrecking, prize fighting, and pistol
fun.

Clean UD.

Summer is here. Now clean up. Do
not delay another day, Begin with the
cellar. See that there is no decaying
vegetation in it and that it is well ven
tilated. Coat the walls with whitewash
and cast out the cobwebs from the cor
ners.
Rugs are cheaper, cleaner, healthier
and more easily aired than carpets. Air
the closets and pack away the winter
clothes; you will not need them again
this season. Keep the garret windows
open the season through.
Burn up the kitchen scraps if they are
not fed to animals. Beware of those In

The eucalyptus tree is the greatest de-
stroyer of sewerage system known to the
municipalities. The fibrous roots will pen
citrate the smallest possible opening at the
pipe connections, and once into the sewer
pipe will grow. and expand until the sewer
is entirely choked up, and in a number of
cities it has been found that the pipes have
been broken. The planting of trees of this
variety should be discouraged In some
cities ordinances have been passed compell-
ing property owners to cut down all trees
of the gum variety for the protection of the
