WANTS TO BE A SLAVE.
A Young Married Woman Who Refuses
20 BE Emancipated.

a Young Married Woman Who Refuses
20 BE E~mancipated.
Very often when a young married wo-
man starts housekeeping she is favored
with a circular from the Women's
Emancipation league as we'll as with
various more or less tasty literature
dealing with sexual matters from an
advanced point of view. The Emanci-
pators address her in this strain:
Recognizing that the slavery Of sex
Is the root Of all slavery, and that in
justice to w~omanhood, especially injus.
tice within the family, is the perpetual
source OF all other injustice, it (the
league seeks the legal, political, SO
cial and industrial emancipation of wo-
men, as the vital and Indispensable con.
dition of all other true lasting reforms,
and afirms these claims as paramount
to all personal, sectional or party con
sideration whatever

requires the business world to deal with

A Russian Province.

The rapid progress in the construc- ton of the Siberian railway lends a special interest to an account, in Peter mann's Mitteilungen for September. of the province of Transbaikalia, The larger, northern part is still clothed with dense forests of pine, cedar, fir, larch and beech, and it's six hundred thousand inhabitants (about equally divided between natives, Russians and Cossacks) are scattered along the val leys of the numerous southern streams. Its seven towns and seven hundred and fifty villages have been built by di- rection of the government so as to sep arate the native settlements from each other, the Cossacks being placed along the Chinese frontier. The chief occu- patton of the people is agriculture, though mining is making some pro- gress. Nine thousand men are gold miners, their annual earnings for the eight years preceding 1890 being 3,5O0,- 00o roubles, Besides gold, which is ap- parently found in all the streams, there are deposits of silver, lead, tin, iron, quicksilver, coal and salt in various places. The silver and lead mines are. worked chiefly by convicts, who are paid regular wages, of which forty-five per cent. goes into the provincial treas ury, forty-five per cent. into the prison fund, and ten per cent. is given to the convict when his term of hard labor is over. If his behavior has been good, he can then become a farmer. There are now sixteen thousand of these pa roled prisoners. the yearly average of fresh arrivals being twenty-two hum dred. Another occupation, principally of the natives, is the transportation of tea, of which twelve million roubles' worth pass every year over the two great trade routes from China west ward, The return freight of the cara- vans consists mainly of skins, gold and silver.

 PINK SIN.
 What will the scientists discover next? is question that may well perplex the public. One of these inqiusitve gentle men, Dr. Gates of Philadelphia, former ly of the Bureau of Ethnology connected with the Smithsonian Institute, in his study of the human brain has found that each definite emotion experienced by the owner of the brain produces it's characteristic good or bad chemical pro- duct. The evil emotions, for instance, produce secretions that are literally poisonous to the health of the person ex- periencing them, while happy emotions generate life-promoting compounds. These products may be detected in the perspirati ton of the individual by chemi- cal analysis, and pr. Gates has already found forty good products, and, alas! as many more that are poisonous or bad.
 In these experiments the doctor claims to have discovered the true color of sin. If a small quantity of the precipitation ia consciously guilty person be placed in a glass tube and exposed to contact with selenic acid it will turn pink. No other poison, similarly generated, ex- hibits the same phenomenon. But he does not tell us the color of happiness, or mirth, or sympathy, or affection. Why does he not prepare us a "eolor card" so that we may refer to it, matching our emotions as we do em- broidery silks? It might be interesting while experiencing intense emotion, to know what shade it is, or what tint it would reveal upon experiment. At prss- ent, however, the scientist only tells us that sin is pink.
 From the scriptures we have gathered the idea that sin is of a more vivid color. Though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool" This Dr. Gates calls rhetorical exaggeration." As to this We take issue with him. The phrase is intended to ex- press the utmost of iniquity; it is in- tense. but not hyperbolical. Since pink is a compound of pure red with more or less white, why should not the color deepen with the degree of sinfuIness? Has Dr. Gates ever experimented upon an atrocious criminal, if not, how does

ator to his feet. and ellcited one of the best speeches he ever made,


 The growth of the Lutheran Church in this country during the last few years has been phenomenal, especially in the States of Wisconsin, Minnesota, North and South Dakota, Washington, Oregon, Idaho. and Montana, It has been said, indeed, that "every fourth person one meets between Chicago and Seattle is by birth or baptism Luth- eran." Recent statistics show that in the eight States named, out of total communicant membership which in- cludes all denominations, Protestant and Roman Catholic, numbering 1,419,- S95, the Protestant bodies have a total of 766,219, and of this number S52, ,196 are claimed by the Lutherans. The census of 1890 proved that more than one-half of the Lutheran strength in ministers and members lies west of Chicago. Ac- cording to that census the aggregates for the entire country were as follows, but, of course, the figures are now much larger: Ministers, 4,591; organizations, S,595; church edifces, 6,7O1; seating ca pacity, 2,2O5,6S5; value of church prop- erty, $S5.06o,S54; communicants, 1,2S1,- 072.

THE DIFFERENTIATION CRY.

Adlai Stevenson says President Cleveland can have the renomination if he wants it." This means, we take 1t. that MT. Stevenson doesn't want it.. Wise man. It may also mean that a plan has already been made to give President Cleveland the distinguished honor. That such a plan has been formed is indicated in a Washington dispatch to the New York World. In this dispatch it is related that Demo- cratic leaders more or less in the con- fidence of the Cabinet circle are quiet ly including William c. Whitney among the supporters of a third term for MT. Cleveland. The recent meeting in New York between the president and the ex-secretary, the first in many months, has given rise to no end of basis of the third term story apparent 1y is something more than idle conjec-
 
 the president, MT. Whitney and Secre- tary Lamont had a frank and free ex- change of opinions and convictions re- garding the political situation and the outlook one year hence. After all this, the story that is told is that MT. Whit ney repeated what he said in an in- terview some months ago, that MT. Cleveland was the most popular man among the Democratic masses, and that the situation promised to call for his nomination again. Mr Whitney, the story goes. informed the president that so far as he could see there was no other Democrat in sight who could hope to win under existing conditions.

The usual skirt needs no under st1ffen- ing, however, but hangs full and beau tiful because of the way it is cut, and not because it is stiffened or hair clothed or anything but made by a skillful dressmaker.
 Such was the making of this pie tured skirt, which was of pale blue woolen suiting striped with darker blue and sprinkled with tiny white silk dots, and lined only with blue silk. The blouse waist had a wide center box pleat of white silk dotted with three valenciennes lace rosettes, and deep pleated yoke of the same silk with bre- telles edged with lace. A white silk collar was finished with a jaunty bow, and the same was used for the belt. The front was draped as shown and a short, ripple basque completed it.
 Looking over the offerings of new materials shows that majority of them are crisp, stiff and heavily woven, the dropping crepes being no longer allowed except in loose fronts for bodices. Taffetas and broeades that stand alone are the favorites and she whose style suits the clinging crepes needs a lot of courage to stick to them.

FASHION NOTES.
Hoops Latest substitute.

The possibility for fashiona.bleness for hoops still hangs over us, though its latest threat need not alarm. At hoops first onslaught, substitute was found for them in crinoline that was but an undesirable alternative, and how the wire bird cage did threaten until crinoline was superseded! The latest threat is in inviting guise, the pill being sugared by coming in the shape of silk petticoats, which are worn as much as ever, Some of these are shown with at least seven rounds of very delicate wire set in from the knees down. Happily, this is as near the hoop skirt as we are likely to come.
