THE PROGRESS OF TEMPERANCE.

The meeting of the Worlds Woman's
Temperance union at London is an
event of decided interest and impor-
lance. 1t represents the steady
growth of the temperance sentiment,
and the wonderful service that has
been rendered in that relation by the
women OF all civilized countries. There
was time within the memory OF many
persons yet living when the feminine
sex was not permitted to take part in
the promotion of this or any other
reform, but only to bear burdens of
privation and sorrow, and to be exam
pies of the necessity of improved con-
ditions. Lady Somerset cites the cur
ious fact that in 1910, when Garrison
and Phillips went to London as dele
gates to great anti-slavery meeting,
Mrs. Lucretia Mott, also an accredited
delegate, accompanied them; but her
credentials were rejected because she
was woman, whereupon Garrison and
Phillips declined to sit as delegates.
Now shipload ofwomen are welcomed
to a convention in the same conserva-
tive city, and more than POO churches
and mission halls are thrown open for
the proclaiming of their convictions
and purposes. Such change has his
torical scope and significance. 1t stan dis
for splend story of progress in intelli-
gence, justice and morality, and no
matter what we may think of the COM
ing woman, we are bound to acknw-
ledge that the woman already here de-
serves respectful and grateful considera-
ton.
There is abundant evidence of the eff
fective service of women in the cause
of temperance. 1t is hardly too much
to say that in the last twenty years, the
period of its greatest advancement,
they have done more for it than has
been done by men. In. sense they
have made it the cause of their sex, and
thus have provided themselves with
a public mission. They have fought
the evils of the liquor traffic with re-
markable vigor, perseverance and self
reliance. The work has heen of kind
peculiarly fitted to them, by reason of
it's close association with the interests
of the home and other safeguards of
society. They were drawn to it by
their charteristic sympathy with mis-
fortune and their quick prescriptions of
it's opportunities for increasing the
common joy as Miss Willard ex-
presses it. The suffering of sthe famil-
les of drunkards appealed to them with
irresistible force and aroused their in
dignation against the source of such
Indebtedness. When they began to
participate actively in the contest, the

Never before in the history of sport has
coaching and driving been SO popular as
this season.
Rain or shine, any afternoon in n cOun-
try neighborhood one can see four-in-hauds
tourneying to and fro with merry passen-
gers, or tandem teams. T-carts, tra-laIas,
and every conceivable style of vehicle, and
in many cases it is the fair woman who is
the whip.
Indeed, to be up to date to-day 1t is abso-
lutely necessary for a woman to understand
the handsome art of driving. Nearly every
woman has awakened to this fact and set
about remedying the deficiencies OF her edu-
cation in this line.
LEARNING TO DRIVE.
While in town, probably. she went twice
or thrice a week to one of the few schools
where driving, four-in-hand driving par
ticularly, is taught.
In a month or six weeks she acquired
the rudiments and some of the nuuTishes.
In two or three months time, If clever
and possessed of well l-trained nerves,
wrists of steel and light hands" she
graduated with honors, feeling quite equal
to the tasl. of guiding four horses, spike
team or a tandem a t least safely through
the park, il not through the intricacics
of cutting the figure S''-an accomplish
ment which every man who drives four
horses thinks he understands, whether he
is eve. bold enough to try it or not

meeting was yesterday held OF the
Parking Commission for the purpose of
| discussing the condition of street shade
trees. At the conclusion of the session
the following report was transmitted to
the District Commissioners:
Experience proves that in previous
years caterpillars have existed in fully
equal numbers to,be followed the next year
by compa ratively few.
THE wood at this season is too fully
matured to ssstain much damage, and
the commission advises that as little money
as possible be spent this season in trying
to abate the nuisance"
In justification of the opinion expressed,
an extract was given from a former re-
port, submitted under date of June 80.
1887, as follows:
Notwithstanding the ravages of cater
pillars last year, the trees have never ap-
peared in a healthier condition than they
did last May. Even those which were al
most denuded of leaves last August by the
breods OF insects showed no symptoms of
injury.
I'VE have in previous years noted that
after the yearly shoots have about finished
their growth, a partial loss of leaves causes
no material injury"
