The House of Delegates passed res
olution to-day to give to each member
copy of the Code of West Virginia.
As the Codes sell for about $500 each
and there are 20 members, here was
another lunge of about $3.50 at-the pub
lie crib. This was Immediately fol-
lowed by the adoption Of another res
Olution giving each member copy Of
the Acts of 1898 And there went an
other hundred dollars or so. Immedi-
ately thereafter was another resolu-
tion to pay the cloak-room keepers,
two of them, one dollar extra a day
each for the entire session.

With the close of the first Republi-
can Legislature in this State for
twenty-five years the fact goes down
into history that the Republican
party of West Virginia is the enemy
of the laboring man. cannot recall
single measure advocated by the work
ing people that was not defeated, nor
do I know n single measure asked for
by corporations that was not granted.
The power of corporate wealth has
been exercised in an unblushing man
ner. and successfully, too.
The labor lien law went down un-
der the demand of corporations led
by the Standard Oil Company intiu-
ence. The different bills relating to
miners and mining and intended to
protect the working miners went down
under the avalanche OF corporate op-
Dosition. Ii seemed as if there were
behind the throne a power that was
irresistible in the interest OF combined
wealth.

are wonderfully beautiful. At the end of a dreary ride by unadorned rock the traveller suddenly finds himself among green fields and shady orchards, with smooth fresh turf under the shadow of the mulberry, walnut, april cot, or plane trees with which the vil- lages abound. A Chitrali has very good idea of the pleasing in outdoor life. The interior of his house is dull and cold, but his garden is always charming ,and he loves to tend his smooth green patches of turf and lie under the shade of fruit-trees These village lands are not, however, very extensive. Chitral, the largest, is only about three miles in length and one mile broad, while most of the villages are not more than 8 mile long. The country is, therefore, but a poor one in reality. and a blrd's-eye view of 1t would show that only a very small fraction of it is cultivated.

NnTHTNG SPEOTFTn

Commissioner Gilhuly is all right. That is, twelve members of the board of aldermen have decided that he is. Of course everybody knows now, as everybody knew before, that he ought not to be a police commissioner. But twelve members of the board of alder mem have not discovered anything "spe- cific" enough in the evidence they have heard to warrant them in considering the matter further. "Specifc's" the word, and has been from the beginning of the whole remarkable affair Con- sidering all the circumstances 1t is per haps surprising that even seven of the aldermen found anything at all "spe- citlc" in the testimony. They must have beem hunting for it.

ing him instantly. Now if @ railroad had killed the man, his family could have recovered $5,000. The saloon kills him and goes scot free, Yet the saloon is of no greater benefit to the public than the railroad, and deserves no more favor. Does any oGe suppose that the family who suffered this loss could re- cover from a liquor indemnity fund, they would need any outside prompt ing?
 Here is woman, let us suppose, who under the proposed law goes to the selectmen and says: My hus- band was drunk three days last week and could mot work. He was getting $25O day" The employer says: T was paying him $2.50 @ day and wanted his work, but he was drunk" Would the family go for that $750, of which they were in need, or not? And would not the public sympathy be as much with the family as with the saloon?
 But 1t is needless to multiply in- stances in which such a law would have a beneficient and helpful effect Suf- flee 1t to say, it would supplement the present license law in all the three POinon "t WutCh liS liSCliSV AbN ID S9@ pecially weak. It would operate as a wholesome restraint upon liquor sellers whom high license prompts to reckless selling; it would apply the indemnity, or part of 1t, where the principal dam age is done; and it would array the private interest of those who suffer, against the private interest and greed of the saloon keeper, and carry with it also large share of the public and it would still leave enough for the gentlemen of the Law and Order Leauge to do,
 Would not these gentlemen do well to consider whether such law would not make their task easier and promote the success of their efforts?

stead of having it made easy for him by finding them at the bars. He wanted ease in the matter of cow-finding and
 cow-driving and so he besought God to give 1t to him. Sometimes he got it and more times he didn't When he got it he thought God had heard and answered his prayer and when he didn't get 1t he didn't know exactly what to think,
 Some of those who effeetually and fervently pray with faith are curiously obvious to some of the limitations which may exist. They assume that what they want Is the thing they ought to have and they assume that God knows that they ought to have it. The careful prayer asks for what he wants with the idea in his mind and in his words that he wants 1t if God in His complete wisdom thinks 1t is we'll for him to have it. He does not dare to assume that what he wants is the thing he ought to have. He leaves the decision with God. If his prayer is answered" he is thankful. If it is not answered he is not sure that 1t ought to be. And he does not know that God ought to interfere with the working of natural laws in order to "answer" his prayers.
 Evangelist Moody is a righteous man who can pray fervently and, as he sometimes thinks, effectually. A recent prayer of his reveals some of the ditfi- culties which may confront a righteous man who prays fervently and effec- tually. He was at Fort Worth, Texas, and the people needed rain, He fer vently asked God to send it. The rain came and the wind blew and beat upon the tabernacle at Fort Worth so that it fell and forty or fifty of MT, Moody's hearers were injured. One poor man was killed. We haven't heard whether MT. Moody feels that God interfered with natural laws in. order to send rain in answer to his prayer, or whether he feels that God let natural laws take their course in regard to the people who were injured by what appeared to be an answer to his prayer. He got the rain he prayed for. He didn't ex- pect and didn't want the extra wind, the fall of the tabernacle and the in jury and death that resulted from 1t.
 An interesting question for debating society would be, Was the answer to MT. Moody's prayer a rebuke?

ignorance, superstition and idolatory.
 The word home has no sweet meaning
 for them, Their natures have been
 warped, their hearts starved, their af-
 fections repressed. undisciplined, un-
 loved, unhappy, they have no memories
 of a joyous childhood. Such are many
 who seek the shelter of the Sharada Sa-
 dana. The words that involuntarily
 spring to ones lips in attempting to
 chide, soothe and guide one of these
 girls in her wilful moods must not be
 spoken lest they be construed into
 proselytizing intentions. How many
 anxious days and nights, how many
 tears, they have caused Ramabai, how
 many midnight prayers have gone up
 to the Father for these, her chil- dren, the Father only knoweth. But
 her patience is inexhaustible, her love the unselfish, unbounded love of a true mother and her courage in indomitable. To us the task of training these girls might we'll seem a hopeless one; but Ramabai looks beneath the surface, she sees the rich germ in their natures and the great possibilities before them, and she puts her whole heart into the work of uplifting them. Day and night she is their constant companion, for she oc- cupies the dormitory with them. Sit ting in her room or walking in the gar den, they are at her feet or by her side And is it strange that they almost wor- ship her? She is opening a new world for them-a world of beauties they had never before seen, of joys they had new CT before tasted-and a new life of love, happiness and usefulness" It also ap- pears that Ramabai is not only an in- spring teacher and most helpful friend, but that she is an excellent woman Of busineSs-her word as good as her bond. And just now she is greatly in terested in agricultural methods and the stocking of farm which she hopes will be the future support of the school from which the pupils will go out as teachers, nurses and physicians, or sDs and thrifty home-makers.
 Educated and candid Hindus acknowl- edge that child marriage and child wid- owhood are two of the greatest obstacles to the social and political advancement of India. Such schools as that of Pun dita Ramabai offer perhaps the most effective remedy against these evils. The highest ambition of many of her pupils is to take up her work and go on with it. helping their sisters as freely and lovingly as they have been helped. There should be such schools all over India, since there could hardly be more potent factors in the uplifting of India's girls. and through them of the whole 1 ace.

Some of Its Facts and Fancies.

 THE "SHARADA SADANA."
 At the annual meeting of the Ramabai association, held in Boston last month, an interesting report was made by Mrs. J. w. Andrews, who spent some months in Poona, India, where is located the school of which the Pundita Ramabai is manager.
 Missionary and educational reports are sometimes rather dull reading. This one has all the charm of a romance. No reader could fail to feel an intense in- terest in this devoted Christian woman. and the noble work into which she has thrown herself body and heart, and soul. "The work she does" wrote Pro- lessor Max Muller, Ifs the work of h1- manity, and not of any special relig- ion" It is true that it is only begin ming, but such beginning is like the pure, clear spring, that shall be the source of mighty river of regenera- tfon for the women of India.
 mere are now nIty-SeYen pupils in Ramabai's school--the "Sharada Sada- na." Forty-three are girl-widows, and all are of high caste. Some of them are in a Kindergarten training class in charge of the Kindergarten children of whom there are twenty-six This is what Mrs. Andrews says of them and their beloved teacher:

THE SOUTH CAROIINA CONTEST

THE SOUTH CAROLINA CONTEST. There are many encouraging hap penings in the South in these days but none more encouraging than what is going on in South Carolina. A writer in the Worcester Spy is reminded by it
 of Wendell Phillips memorable oration
 before the Phi Beta Kappa society at a
 Yale commencement. Two years be- fore the oration was delivered some
 member of that society proposed that
 he be invited to deliver the oration the
 next year, but by very decisive ma-
 jority the proposition was voted down.
 During the ensuing twelve months a
 tremendous change was wrought in
 public opinion by events in Kansas,
 and when the society met and the pro-
 posal was again made, the society,
 by a still larger majority, voted to ex-
 tend the invitation. MT. Phillips rose
 to speak before the largest audience
 that ever listened to Phi, Beta Kappa
 oration in New Haven. He folded his
 arms, looked his audience into almost
 painful stiffness and calmly said:"The
 world moves. I repeat it. The world
 moves" After another pause, he con tinued, and in a few sentences he told
 how the march of events had so revo-
 lutionized their opinions that the same body of men that two years before had refused to listen to him had one year ago invited him to come at that time and to speak to them of the principles involved in the great contest which was then in progress. The Spy writer feels that the world does indeed move, when distinguished ex-confederate major generals like Wade Hampton and Matthew c. Butler participate in an appeal to the United States court to protect the suffrage rights of the Afro American citizens in South Carolina against a conspiracy organized to de- stroy them, and to maintain that prin- ciple of the constitution of the United States which guarantees to every state a republican form Of government, as against the governor and other State of South Carolina, who are the conspirators who have plan ned to change the constitution of the State so that practically 1t may annul the great amendments of the national that were enacted at the | close of the civil war as safeguards | of American freedom, and for the per- petual preservation of the national l Union.
 It is especially significant that this sign of progress Has cropped out in | South Carolina. The %sTse of the con- test that has begun there will be watch ed with deep interest by true patriots.

hat that has yet been devised. Most
 of the new headwear of the smaller siz-

 that account the ample picture here

 The very latest fashion of doing the hair is to part it from forehead to nape of neck and brush till glossed. Twist each half of the hair into coil and cross the coils at the nape of the neck, bringing them around the head to cross again at the top of the head. This style gives the much admired effect of width to the head and the clasping coils hold the side locks In place even though they be drawn extremely far down over. the ears. Side combs grow longer and longer, and now the really elegant possession is a pair that reach from the temple halfway back. They should be set with sparkling gems and wealthy ones make the pace by using diamonds. It must be evident that a we'll shaped head gets full credit when the beauty of its outline is thus em- phasized. It should be understood that 1t is good taste to wear jeweled and elaborated side combs only at dress oc- casions. For ordinary and morning wear, very simple shell or amber should be used to hold the hair in place, but not 4n oonsfit11ta ornament Tshara ie a report that nets will again be worn over the hair, but the wise woman won't be fooled into adopting the English bun.

---------------------- THE PR4YER or FAITH,

"The effectual, fervent prayer of a
 righteous man availeth much" Thus
 somewhat tautologically saith the
 Scripture. In all ages there have been
 those who have felt that their God
 or their gods have directly answered
 their prayers. And even in thes scien- tific days there are many who pray with faith. And there are some who importune God as if he were bound to answer their prayers, regardless of the wisdom of so doing. These people will pray that the sick may be made well when it is not at all plain that it is best for the sick to live. They will pray for prosperity for themselves and others when they cannot tell what effect prosperity will have upon them. They pray for everything they want and if their prayers are in any case answered" their faith is strength ened, They take their wants to God in prayer just as a little boy known to the writer of this was wont to do. When he went after his cows and was in hurry or little afraid of the dark he would pray that his cows might be down at the bars instead of over in the corner of the mile-wide pas ture. That little boy didn't stop to think that he might learn lessons in patience, perseverance and several other virtues by pursuing elusive cows to the extreme limit of their pasture in

In view of the fact that Egypt was once the center of civilization and learning, whence science radiated to every corner of the globe, vestiges of Egyptian lore being found even in this hemisphere, it is somewhat painful to think that the only item which the Land of the Pharaohs now contributes to the world is onions. which are being shipped in huge quantities to the United States And to make matters worse, we are informed that the popular ''baeli," as the Egyptian onion is call ed, owes its fine flavor as well as its sizes to the fact that the fields in which it is grown are fertilized with the powdered mummies of the sages who fourished on the banks of the Nile three and four thousand years ago.
