Mrs. Hanaford said that the question
was not the supposition that philan'
thropy was not practical, but which had
the preponderanee, the theoretical or
practical side.
"Where, = said she, lis the evidence
that theory has reached practice, or that
practice has fulfilled theory? The phi
lanthropy Of the present day ia ineon-
plete. The goal is not yet reached. The
theory is expressed in the golden rule.
The poor man may he more philan-
thropieal t'Gn the rich man. The bright
smile, the kind word, are true philan-
thropy. The philanthropy Of everyday
life would be good theme for some
oue"
Mrs. Hanaford condemned the present
tendency in the education Of children.
Making them early risers, as she termed
it, in classes was productive OF making
them coDceited all the forenoon Of life
and sleepy all the afternoon, the energy
which should have been stored to meet
the trials OF later years being ali dissi-
pated ia their youthful days,
The present conception Of philanthropy
"a TO help people to help themselves,
she said SorOsis, in it's love for woman
hood, deserves to take commanding
place in the crusade at present being
made for moral purity.
Mrs. Hanaford expressed the hope
that in the future women would have
the ballot, which meant protection and
education, was the synonym for power
and would aid materially in making
philanthropy more practical
Others who expressed their opinions
on the question presented were Mrs.
Hoffman, Mrs. Morse, Mrs. Foote, Mrs.
Seofeld, Mrs. Croly, Mrs. "a, + Thomas,
Mrs. G. II. Gushing, ex-pFesident OF the

ly. On the third afternoon il made o
faint effort to open again, but was un-
able to do SO, and then sank below the
water to become seed pod. This has
been the history Of succeeding blossoms.
It is the nature of the plant
The plant has great, round leaves,
with edges which turn squarely up.
They are filed with veins and q net
work of air cells, which makes them
very buoyant. soneof these which have
appeared at the botanical garden are
nearly If not quite feet in diameter.
This leaf forms yeIitable boat, and
the turned up edge keeps II as dry as
tie bottom Of the finest launch. u pro
teoted BY frame to keep 1t from being
punotured, it would bear up good
sized man.
But without frame il will support
IN thewater q considerable weight. Mr.
James Gurney, the gardener, made the
statement the either day that be was
sure itwould bear the weight Of baby,
and out of curiosity the trial was final
" made. Tho infant was carefully
wrapped up ia blankets. GENTLY the
little one was laid on the huge lily pad
IL weight hardly caused detection ~
tbe great leaf, and for several minutes
the baby hoated about in its fairy boat.
The pads of the Victoria Regia eon'
tinue to grow after the blossoms are
gone. There are several Of these leaves
which will sustain fully % great 9
weight as the enc with which the exper-
iment was made st Louis Post-Dis'
match.

WASHINGTON, d. O., Nov. 2, 1894,
Senator Faulkner Is more eonldent
than atany time during the campaign
that the democrats will elect majority

concerted the republican campaign man

ticular attention to tho congressional
end Of the New York campaign and,

ing the party in New York city to as
great an extoat as he wished he con-
siders the democratic outlook much im-
proved within the last few days. He
had conference with President cleve-
land day before yesterday, and it is pre-
