The next thing on the programme is the
advancement of women in the church
I'm not one Of those unevangelical REFORM
ers who think that we can make our way
without ecclesiastical aid. Let the church
recognize women. and 10 won't be long be-
fore the state will do so too l believe that
every good thing comes from the church,
and therefore l want women who have so
long done the greater part Of that body's
work To have voice In It's proceedings
and to bo permitted to- enter the ministry,
which, you know, In most denominations
Is yet tahooed. That is what / am turn
ing my attention 10 just now; that Is what
/ believe should be our next step. There
L. no stronger testimony to tho truth Of
this belief than the tremendous work ac-
ooinplishcd by women In fields in which
tho church permits her tn labor, ms in mis-.
sionary work, for example. .--Elizaheth Is.

Some Curious Customs.

Hindoo women are forbidden to read or
write Indeed those who dare to indulge
in such luxuries are often accidentally"
missing.
Hebrew women of the higher classes
were secluded from public life and passed
their timo with the distaff and spindle.
AT marriage tho ceremony lasted seven
days.
In China wife is never seen by her fu-
ture master. Some relative bargains for
tho girl, the stipulated price is paid, and
she is afterward n submissive slave.
The women of ancient Rome were treat
ed with the greatest respect. Still they
were not allowed to inherit property and
could DO divorced by their husbands for
counterfeiting their keys and for drinking
wine.
In Turkey woman is held in the most
rigid seclusion. She must always appear
yelled With pigs and dogs she is forbid
den to enter a mosque, and the Koran de-
clares woman who Is unmarried to bo in
state of roprobation.
Siberian women are raised as abieot
slaves untidy in dress, and are bought
with money or cattle. The most capricious
whim of her husband Is law to the Sibe-
rian woman, and should he desire divorce
he has only to tear tho cap from her head.

There is but a slight difference between
q reception and an evening gown, the cos
tune which is considered proper for any
evening affair being counted in equally
good taste at a reception, writes Isabel A.
Mallon In The Ladies' Home Journal.
The difference only consists in this-that
one may wear rather heavier gowns-that
is, velvet, brocade or silk--at "A reception,
while tulle chiffon and light qualities Of
silk would be dedicated to an evening
party. Tho hostess at reception aims at
having her dress give tho impression of
dignity, while at a dance she will look al
most as frivolous, as far as material Is
concerned, as does her daughter. The
short train noted at the reception Is not
seen at tho dance, and, although oil the
laws of fashion and good taste forbid the
wearing of a bonnet In the evening at a
private house, STILL IL an elderly lady ap-
pearcd with one at reception, IL would bo
considered quite proper.

When sending In batch OF votes IL is
not necessary tc write the name OF the or
ganization voted for on each separate bal
lot. Do up your votes in n bundle, Sc
curing them together by pin or string,
and write the name of the lodge they are
intended for on the top ballot. That will
be sufficient. Only be sure that the bal
lots are secured SO that they will not get
astray.
Voters do not have to make any pur-
chases of the donors OF the piano in order
to vote. Every body Is entitled to vote as
often as they please. All they have TO do

ter OF fact this price Is 25 cents a hundred
cheaper than the Wholesale price of a

have an equally fair show
TO secure their ballots without any dis
elimination in favor OF those who con-

Any and ell papers returned and sent to

rectly or indirectly devoted to current ex-
penses and s67,672,172 which had been
converted into notes by the process of
redemption, were still on hand.
''It Is proper to state in this connec-
tion," says the secretary, "that when
1890 were redeemed in gold, they were
received into and held as part of the
general cash assets in the treasury the
same as any other money belonging to the
Government and under the acts of May 81,
1878 and July, IA, 1890, they are
paid out when necessary to de-
ray the public expenses. Whenever it has
been possible to do so, the redeemed notes
have been used to procure gold coin by
