The deal WOMAN.
Men Give Their Ideas Of what
She Ghauid Re

Prominent Men Give Their Ideas of what
She should BE.
A number of prominent men have
given their idea of the ideal woman in
the Union Signal. Two from Hartford,
Ct, are particularly interesting. DR..
Crothers says:
The ideal woman is the one who,
from conditions unknown, has caught
the spirit of the ages and joined its
great evolutionary march. She
is the woman who never stops growing,
mentally, morally and physically, and
who is always above the low levels of
the present, and always struggling TO
higher conceptions and higher ACTIVE
ties, and who makes the present step
ping for the future
John Hooker, husband of Isabella
Beecher Hooker, says
No man ever grew up with more
reverence for Il fine woman than |.
have never lost that reverence; but my
idea of what constitutes fine woman
has materially changed. used to think
her essential qualities in youth were
sweetness, delicacy and modesty, and
in after life, home-loving wifeliness,
and Madonna-like motherliness. Fifty
years of observation and reflection
have taught me that a woman grows
nobler and truer to herself and all her
obligations who, still faithful and
loving in her home relations lfor her
heart will always be thera1, is yet
full of intelligence in all matters
that are interesting the public, full OF
sense of the value of her sex IN it's re-
lation to social progress, full of an
appreciation of her rights as human
being, inspirable by inspiring thoughts
and influences, and a power for good in
the community in which she lives, and
perhaps in that larger community that
makes up the nation to which she be-
longs. She is to me the noblest woman
who, without mere personal ambition
or self-seeking of any sort, and with Il
great spirit Of helpfulness toward all
the wronged and suffering, limits the
field of her work only by her ability
and opportunity, making these, and
not any conventional rules, the test OF
what God meant that she should do.
That woman may be all this, and yet
not lose particle of her wifeliness OF
motherliness, or of her sweetness and
delicaey, is matter of absolute knowl
edge with the writer.

sowing In the Public SCHOOLS.

The course Of study in sewing in the
Boston public schools is interesting for
an amateur of sewing to consider To
read of "thimble, emery, scissors, set
off neatly as articles of study, and to
gaze upon a printed curriculum of
blasting, hackstitching, overcasting,
Misunderstanding and combination of
one running and one-half backstitch,"
Is to realize most intensely tile adj
vantages Boston offers to her dangh-
tiers. In the fourth year are taught,
among other things, stocking darning,
straight and bias telling, whipping
and sewing on ruffies, hemstitching,
blind stitching, tucking if not taught
previously, gathers overhanded to a
band, sewing on hooks and eyes and
buttons, eyelets, loops, and in the fifth
year there is a system of dress cutting
by which girls are taught to take
measures. draught, cut and fit a dress
waist.

is a story full OF pathos and human

/ that requires the most artistic hand
ling in order to render its production
thoroughly appreciated Domestic
unhappiness unfortunately exits, and
such scenes as the author depicts are
frequent, but they appeal SO strongly
to the soul oil mankind that they are
better unseen unless portrayed by
true artists in every sense of the
word. ln=the hands eli Nelson Wheat
croft, Henry Miller or William Nor
ris, the charae ter OF Sir Geoffrey
would show us the most hallOwcd I
feelings III humanity without our
own feeling that it was Il saerilegc To
see such things. The players last I
night did well with a piece that is
very difficult. One other point; The
scene is weakened BY its ending. The
true climax is WHOM Lady. Gwendo-
line finds the tiny shoes OF their dead T
baby boy. Reconciliation should
have taken place then. The CONVEX
sation following that scene tended
to detruet from rather than add to
the dramatic effect.

P. P. HEREsIES.

The third party, misnamed peo-
pies party, as we have often said,
is full of heresies. It's platform is
made up partially Of heresies,
and its leaders, speakers, writer's
and office holders, are saturated
with heresies. Below we extract a
few of these heresies for the public
consideration, and ask the Popu-
lists if they can defend them:
2. 2. Representatives in Congress
are introducing all sorts of bills for
extravagantapprOpriation of special
classes. Senator PETER now has a
bill before the Senate asking an ap-
preparation of sixty-fve million dol
lars for the paupers of the United
States, which according to Stats
tics, would be $1,000 each for every
pauper in the land. If such legis-
lation could be secured what an in
ducement it would be to pauperism.
If such men as PETER had control of
this government they would bank
rupt it in twenty-four hours. Not
many months ago this man intro
duced bill to loan the farmers of
Indiana one hundred million dollars,
and he, with his colleague,
Senator Allen, of Nebraska, opposes
the passage of the Wilson tariff bill
because it takes the protective tar
iff off the sugar beet industry of
Kansas In the house of Congress
not many months ago out of ten
third party members seven voted to
increase the pensions of the federal
soldiers one hundred and ten mill
ion dollars, and just the other day
Congressman Davis, populist of
Kansas, introduced bill in Con-
gress asking an appropriation of
fifty million dollars for Coxey's army
of tramps, yet these are the fel-
lows who claim to be opposed to all
class legislation, and to extrava-
gance in government. They are
the fellows who holler themselves
hoarse about the tax-burdened
people, and yet they seek to fasten
upon them greater burdens by Civ
ing to certain classes and interests
hundreds of millions of dollars
Such shameful mockery of true
economy and reform should be
frowned down by every man who
loves honesty and consistency in all
men.
