Of 40 minutes the fire was over as
far as the ice houses were con-

time the slaughter houses burned
brightly, the flames rising above its
top. and being lavishly fed by the
grease with which such a building
becomes impregnated. and by the
contents OF the cooling room.

upon Mr.. Thee. Upon the ice houses

THE ADVANCE OF WOMAN.

Apart from any question of right,
would it be for the best interests of
civilization to grant women a wider
sphere of activity9 The trend and cur
rent of the social evolution is surely in
the direction of larger liberty for all,
in the degree that they are able to use
it. It is in the direction of the re
movaI of barriers and needless re-
straints. Every attempt at such re-
moval in the past has been greeted by
loud prophecies of disaster. The
aroused watch-dogs of church and
State have started in full cry upon the
track of the innovatOr with angry
yelpings of alarm. But that was what
might have been expected, and should
brighten no one. We all inherit a re
sidum of antediluvian sentiments
which remain suspended in our minds
like mud ia water, and interfere with
the ~clearness Of our thinking. It is
only when it has had time to settle, and
we recognize it for what it is, that we
gain full command of our intellects.
Now, l do not pretend as yet to have
full command of mine; but for all that
l seem TO have G. few tar-gleams of in
tuition which manage TO struggle
through the turbld medium Of anti
