resolved that the lady should have the ten
minutes given to discussion Tor further
effort In the course of her remarks she
said:
In the relation of sex with sex as between
men and women the great trouble Is that we
have. like eating and drinking. made it an end.
GOD has so created us that the supplying OF
our natural wants gives US certain pie asurabe
emotions. We have been serving our ntellects
in order to satisfy our bodies. We have made
il an end instead OF means; we have forgot
ten ha. It is a means by which GOD has given
III he greatest blessings on earth--the family
and home. We have made the simply pleasure
bic emo ions to be the end, and men have
sacrificed themselves and their honor on the
altar OF vice. Ii beer Kills 10000 men, lcen-
IioRsness kills 100000 lie has been said
that 1.-The hand that rocks the cradle rules the
world" and if ii were true / hope that that
hand and head will have the grace TO be
ashamed Of ITSELF II our present Government is
any example.
The influence OF the man is Just as potent as
the influence of the mother. Much has been
said about prenatal Influence which cannot be
verified. and II Is fact that no matter how
much HE mother may pray she has the seed OF
some man within her, and this she can modify
but not change. If IL were true twins would be
always alike, which they are not. Girls who
think Of marrying should not think they can
reform the men they marry. Let them consider
that their little ones are his. and be sure that
no man can sow his wild oats ami not reap
that if you are the mothers OF Your children
the men who sit at your sides are their fathers,
and their character will be pprpeuated by the
children. Purify in the heart of woman and pur-
1iy in the heart OF man Is what we must have.
Never mistake ignorance, however, for Inno-
cenee. every son ana daughter should learn,
the one from his father and the other from her
mother. The relations OF man TO woman.
Mrs. Ella F. Hubbard of Los Angeles
read an interesting paper on Household
Reform" She thought that because there
was an enlarged sphere for the activities of
woman that was no reason TO suppose that
marriage and homes would be thrown
aside. Love still rules The world. The
speaker touched on the housekeeping
problem and the difficulty of obtaining
good culinary artists. Cooks ara hard to
obtain, and notwithstanding the i'm
portance of sclent ific and hygienic cuisine.
the cook was despiSed quantity in labor.
In fact, the cook has so fallen from a once
proud position that at a recent dinner in
New York given by laboring men to work
ingwomen all were invited except cooks
and housemaids. There are signs of
reform in this respect, the speaker thought,
and she advocated the establishment OF do
nestle training Sch00ls,
Mrs. Mccain of Santa Cruz suggested
that women had better study the home
stead law. and another lady said that so
long as things are as they are she did not
domestic service. She said she had been
housekeeper for several months here and
afterward lived on 10 cents day, and that
so far as she was concerned she would
rather have the 10 cents a day. Mrs.
Helen Campbell of Madison. Wis.,, advo-
Gated a chair OF domestic science ln uni
versities as the panacea for domestic
evils. Until mistresses are trained it is
absurd to expect that servants will be.
Mrs. Hannah Otis Brown of Stanford
University read paper on the "LawleSs-
ness of Housekeeping" in which she said
that among the things which helped to
''lawlessness" were the failure to recog-
niZe laboT-saving devices and the absolute
ignorance OF time value.
Mrs. Galpin in discussing this said her
remedy for a good deal of trouble in the
household Is the substitution of the pro-
noun "our" for "her." instead of saying.
Mother is washing her Dishes" 1t should
be our dishes" Then grumbng hus-
bands growing out. Maria. have you
try as they might. they could not say

and much qualification among the ladies.
Mrs. Mccain of Santa Cruz said il was
all very well to train housewives. but the
first time she cooked a chicken she had
five cookbooks and not one told her
chicken had craw. She cooked it craw
and all. She was glad to see that woman'S
congresses would teach the rising genera
ton Of young women that chickens had
-craws and where to find them. This set
the congress off in TO commissions.
Mrs. Charlotte Perkins Stetson read a
paper by Mrs. Ellen Battelle Dietrich Of
Boston on Wisdom for the Home-maker,"
contendiug that the women Of ancient
Nile were after all more free than the
women of today. The resurrectng of
Egyptian lore shows that the home-maker
was the political equal of the men and
that there was q reverence for the mother.
of which the American nation has not even
a conception. One hardly sees to-day
American congressman or Senators boast

chastity and justice.
