creamy white color and is nearly pure

trace OF other minerals. The bricks are
strong and when burnt are nearly white

tested in the hottest fires and put to
practical use in some Of our furnaces

We are informed that negotiations are
now pending With Mr.. Ksssler to sup
ply his brick yard with several hundred
tons OF this clay the coming season.
The clay and brick made will supply oar
furnaces with all needed fire clay and
brick and thus stop the importation OF a

the importation OF one expensive item

a VIEW or rHE wouAN QUESTION.

IL has often been said: "Our boys
are the hope OF the country" There is
no doubt this has the color OF truth
For our boys will make the men and the
men will manage our railroads, facto-
ries and stores, workshops and farms,
make our laws and execute them, COM
mand and man our our ships, command
and al the ranks OF our state and ma
tional armies. What. then, is left for
the woman TO do? Make the men. She
also makes the women who will mike
the next generation OF men. 20 yes =
eays Mrs. Stanton. "you leave all the
home cares and drudgery to US women,
while you men enjoy the pleasures OF
the world and become great"
Let US see how this Is in mans high
a., professions. The Hon. Mr., States-
man goes on the stump, takes bad
drinks, goes to congress and makes laws
10 punish swindlers, thieves and muir
derers. Then the judges and lawyers
send the poor devils to prison and the
gallows
Farming may be made dull and sordid
or pleasant and higher than all other
professions. Webster was greater as
tie farmer at Marshfeld and the patri-
otto citizen at Bunker Hill than he was
hanging Crowningshield at Salem or
castigating Hayne in the United States
senate.
But the wives Of the statesmen,
judges and lawyers have none OF these
disagreeable things to do. Their work
is with the Sweetest darlings,' manly
loys and lovely girls, whom God in his
infinite love has given them.
Once again, let us see what the good
wife is doing at home. She is training
that boy to be a mana citizen-king-
and that girl to be the mother of men
who make presidents. and women who
mould the makers Of presidents.
While doing all this the wife rules the
home empire, enaots and executes the
laws which make boys and girls great
men and women.
Who then, is in the highest calling
she who enaots laws 10 mako men greai
or they who make laws to imprIson and
hang men She makes the laws which
lead TO noble lives, and they those
which lead 10 ienominious graves

bank charter?
