WOMAN AND HOME.
TO HELP Ex-coNvIcTs.

Mrs. Ballington Booths Novel Plan to As
sist Released Prisoners.
Mrs. Ballington Booth has new
scheme to help ex-convicts.
The finger Of scorn is no longer to be
pointed at them. Men who have been in
Sing Sing prison and who desire to live
good and upright lives will in future
have chance to do SO. They will have
chance to start life all over again.
Mrs. Ballington Booth proposes to
welcome such convicts right at the gate
of Sing Sing prison. She will offer them
home, friends and employment.
The first thing necessary for carry
ing out this plan was means Of trans
portation for released convicts from
Sing Sing to the Volunteers place of
refuge. She will have steam launch
In commission as soon as the purchase
money has been secured. The boat will
be called the Omer Sage, In honor of
Warden Sage, and will be manned by
ex-convicts. A pretty Volunteer lassie
will be in command. The captain that
has been selected is an expert sailor, and
with her at the wheel, the little vessel
filed with earnest Volunteers and hap
py ex-prisoners, will soon be seen dart
ing over the neighborihg waters on its
mission of mercy and succor.
Among the Volunteers the men who
are earnestly trying to live down their
past will be given every opportunity not
only to help themselves, but also to help
Others Of their class. Mrs. Booth be-
iieves that men who have been prison
mates must have more or less feeling for
each other, and that the influence OF
men who have for some time been free
in their treatment of o recently dis
charged convict can only be for good.
Another reason for using launch to
receive the men, instead Of allowing
them to leave Sing Sing by train is that
they may avoid all possible chance OF
recognition. Then. again, the sail down
the Hudson river is trip likely to be
impressive by the grandeur OF the
scenery. In the estimation of Mrs.
Booth, If ever man can be in a position
to appreciate such scenes, and SO open
the way for serious thought of the past
and future. it is just after leaving the
tomblike cells Of Sing Sing and sailing,
q free man once more, down the grand
est river in America.
On leaving Sing Sing the vessel will
set out for "Hope Hail." which is the
name selected for the commodious home
over which Mrs. Booth has supervision.

Tho whole Globe . Graveyard.

The Partisan doctors and speculative
philosophers are great fellows for maxi
ing odd calculations on all subjects. One
of the very latest in one concerning the
human family since the beginning Of
time. 1t is long magazine article and
gives much that is interesting in the
way Of human family statistics, but the
most striking portions are those which
give figures on the number of human
being that have inhabited the earth and
have died and been buried in it since
the first man was created. According
to these curious figures, the earth has
been peopled by no less than Ct, 6,627, ,s42,-
3s7,075,2G6 human inhabitants since the
beginning of time. To bury this vast
number the whole landed surface would
have to be dug over 120 times. Had you

LETTUCE FOR SOUPS.
1t Il Much Better Than the Average
Housewife Thinks.

1t IL Much Better Than tho Average
Housewife Thinks.
Lettuce, according to Twentieth Cen
tury Cookery, forms much better soup
ingredient than the average American
housewife imagines. 1t also makes an
excellent vegetable, especially the large
headed and coarse-leaved varieties,
which are now both plentiful and
cheap.
Wash the leaves free from grit, break
them into pieces, put into frying pan
tablespoonful of beef dripping; when
hot, add tablespoonful of chopped
onion; let it color slightly; then put
into the pan as much of the torn-up
lettuce as it will hold; add no water;
cover and stir the pan to prevent burn
ing; the heat will cause the lettuce to
exude moisture. Season with salt and
pepper. When the lettuce has boiled,
or rather steamed down, and looks
cooked-which will be in IS or 20 MIN
utes-turn it into two quarts of soup
stock. Simmer Is minutes longer, and
serve with croutons or toasted bread
dice.
Or. instead Of soup stock. add two
tablespoonfuls Of liquid extract of beef
to two quarts Of water.
II you have 1t handy tablespoonful
Of chopped cold chicken may be added
to each quart Of soup.

Those who are not In good health, ow.

from whatever cause, will be given en-

banks of the Hudson.
''In thinking of the hopelessness of
the future Of the great army of dis
charged criminals who walk out of
prison gates every year, branded as enc
mics to society and law, believe have
at last conceived a plan," said Mrs.
Booth, "by which l hope to in great
measure remove the ban from this class
of unfortunates. Many man on his
return to freedom means honestly to
try and redeem his evil life, to be, in
sfort, u man. But how to go about it?
What cnn he do with the stain of prison
bars upon him, to earn an honest living?
Who will employ man whom the law
has caused to be confined because he is
a menace to the lives and property Of

Booth to New York journal reporter,
''that the feeling Of self-reliance which
congenial toll will inspire in these out
casts will serve to arouse their self-re-
Npect and restrain them from ever fall

THE DAWN OF PROSPERITY.
Restored Confidence VIII Bring . Busi

Restored Confidence VIII Bring . Busi-
ness Boom.
Free silver is defeated. What will
follow?
First-The paralysis of trade and en-
terprise, due to the threat of change
to the silver standard, is now removed.
There will be an immediate movement
all along the line. Men are no longer
afraid to risk their money in laying in
stocks of goods, in new building enter
prises, in a thousand avenues of activ-
ity. a business boom will begin ut
once.
The millions of gold which have been
boarded by timid people will speedily
come out of it's hiding-places. There is
10 longer any fear Of the stability of
our currency.
Millions of the money Of European
investors will at once seek profitable
investment in American securities. A
boom in stocks is therefore coming, and
millions more will be invested in manu-
featuring, and mining, and other indus
trial enterprises.
All this means q return of general
prosperity. And it will be prosperity
for the whole people. The farmers will
prosper, not only because of the recent
rise in grain-whichh has not yet reached
its limit-but because of the increased
purchasing power Of the great consum-
ing class, due to the increased demand
for labor, and the activity in all lines
of industry and trade.
The boom will begin before President
Mckinley takes his seat. Every acute
man of affairs discounts the future in
his business go soon as what the future
viii bring resolves itself into certainty.
Every one understands what the policy
Of the new republican administration
will be. Certainty takes the place Of
doubt, and the future, for four years,
Is bound to be one of marvellous pros
perity to the United States.-Toledo

THE PEOPLE INDICATED.
American Patriotism Ovsrwhelms sedl

American Patriotism Overwhelms 6edi-
| ti0us Endeavors.
The result Of the election is splcn.
did vindication of the wisdom and pa.
triotism of the American people.
Incendiary and seditious appeals were
made to them. 1t was assumed they
were suspectible to influences that, il
continued to be exerted, would result
inevitably in the overthrow of repub-
lican institutions, though of course it
was denied that this would be the ef-
feet.
But the American people have reject
ed, emphatically and overwhelmingly
these appeals. Their manhood and
their patriotism have been manifested
in manner that will end for all time
the possibility of a recurrence Of the
danger that has threatened the repub-
| lie.
For this we should give thanks. The
country has escaped great peril-how
great, the majority Of those who cast
their votes for Mr.. Bryan have little or
no conception.
The appeals that were made to the
people were insidious and destructive.
1t was assumed that class hatred ex-
listed, and that it could be famed into
flame. 1t was taken for granted that
since this class hatred existed it would
be easy to lead majority of the peo-
pie to espouse doctrines un-American
and revolutionary.
This was antagonistic tc American
sentiment, and while it never disturbed
the serenity and equanimity of those
whose faith in the American character
is rock-ribbed and steady, still it pro-
duced uneasiness and public trepida-
tion.
The result Of the election will
strengthen the republic, since it will
deepen faith in the character of the
American people. 1t proves that the
spirit of discomfort which has been con-
jured to alarm the timid is not so strong
as it has been described. 1t shows that
the free silver theory which has caused
politicians to shake for years, has no
strong hold on the American people. It
proves that the American people indig-
nantly refuse to be divided into classes.
They refuse to recognize the superiori-
ty or the inferiority in political sense
of any of their fellow countrymen.
From every point of view the result of
the election is reassuring and comfort
ing; it strengthens the government; it
causes us to look into the future with
confidence and hope; it sweeps away
terrors which we now see were imagi-
nary. and places us on firm and substan-
tial footing.
But greater than all is the exhibition
which has been made Of the intelligence,
patriotism and frmncss of the people.
That is the best of all.
Some of our English contemporaries
appear to think that the election marks
the beginning of social revolution on
this side Of the Atlantic. That is mis-
take. 1t is the end, not the beginning,
that has now been marked.-Albany

Takes Place of Ice Cream.

A choice cold dessert that may be
served at dinner or tea in place of ice
cream is made by using layers Of fruits
and nuts in lemon or orange jelly
made from gelatin. Make the jelly
and have ready sliced figs dipped in
sherry. sliced stoned dates. and chopped
almonds or English walnut meats.
When the jelly has begun to thicken.
pour layer in mold that is wet, and
use q layer Of the jelly, and so on until
the mold is filled. Serve very cold with
whipped cream. Candied fruits may
be used If one prefers them to the dateu
and figs.

LANTERN LAMP SHADES.

They're Not Very Pretty. But Popular ON
Account of Their Novelty.
The new lantern shades promise, II
not to supersede the umbrella and
pagoda shades, at least to run them
very closely in popularity. The new
shades can scarcely be considered SO
pretty or so graceful as the ordinary
large shades with their fussy frills Of
silk and lace, or silk and gauze, yet they
are novel and smart. In some posi-
tions, too, they are more suitable than
the huge shades which up to now have
been prime favorites. They help to
give variety Of effect when used in
rooms with circular, square and tri.

MOVING TO "THE STATES.


Census Proves ThsS Canadian Emigrstios
To This Country IL Great.
We learn from a dispatch dated at
Toronto and published in the London
Advertiser (Ontario) that the popula-
tion OF the city Of Toronto on January
l, 1895. was 176,05s, and that on the
list of January, 1896, it was 17s,1s5,
showing gain for the year of 1927,
or shade less than ten per cent. for
ten years.
The annual death rate for all Canadf
is very low, less than ten per 1000
while the natural increase is very high
not less than two per cent. Without
any immigration the increase in pop
ulation in Canada should be not less
than rs per cent. for ten years. A largt
number Of immigrants land in Canada
every year and look about for place
to establish new home, and then come
to the United States and find what they
want, although the Dominion has 2O0..
000,00 acres of arabic lands which can
he he'd for settling upon them, small
bonus in cash being thrown in. The
climate is healthful and the resources
of the country in timber, minerals,
water power, navigable rivers
and lakes are almost unlimit.
ed and the fisheries of the
Dominion are the best in the world,
but those who have lived under
monarchical institutions in Great Brit.
ain and the continent of Europe will
not settle under the British flag in
America, and IL they come to Canada
1t is because transportation charges
to Montreal are less than to New York,
and besides the government of Cam
ada has been paying for some years
a large proportion of the costs of ocean
passages for immigrants to Canada.
Toronto is the most prosperous city
in the Dominion of Canada, the finan-
cial, commercial and the industrial cen.
ter of the great province of Ontario,
which has an area of nearly 200,O00
square miles, or four times that of the
Empire state of the republic. II is also
the chief horse, cattle, sheep, hog, wool,
grain, butter, cheese and lumber mar

of educational institutions, including
the arts and sciences, theology, law
and medicine. II is also the center of
the charitable institutions maintained
by the province, and in addition is the
capital of Ontario. No less than nine
railways enter the city, and it has the
best harbor upon the great lakes. The
area of the city is SO great that there
is no loss OF population from the CEN
ter to the outskirts of the city, as 10
the case with New York. Neither 10
there flow Of population from To-
ronto to the country; on the contrary,
the tide is from the country to Toronto.
If under these conditions Toronto
has only gained seven-tenths of one
per cent. in population, it proves be-
yond all question that the emigration
from Toronto to this country is very
great.-N. Y. Sun.

Prejudice Overthrow.

A campaign like the one just closed
we are not likely to see again. At least
not in many years. 1t has in many re-
spects been the most significant CAM
paign in the history Of the country. The
issues were all important and far reach
ing. The forces in favor of sound
money and sound government had great
odds of prejudice and discomfort to
work against. 1t is remarkable that
such victory should have been won
out of such conditions. Nothing but
the intelligence and the patriotism of
the people saved the country in this
emergency. That intelligence and pa
triotism can still be relied upon in emer-
gencies. AS we said the other morning,
we can best estimate the Importance of
this victory by contemplation of what
defeat would have meant. Thoughtful
men and patriotic men must almost
shudder when they think of what might
have been. 1t is what we have escaped
quite as much as what we have won
that makes us thankful as people for
the verdict which was rendered in the
ballot boxes. 1t took q long cam
paign and hard fight to achieve what
we have and that fact ought to make
what we have achieved all the more
dear.-Iowa State Register.
DEre the smoke of the great and de-
cisive conflict has cleared away, prep
arations have begun to resume work
in the mills and the factories and new
spirit of enterprise and activity per-
vades the whole country. From all the
centers of this country and Europe
comes the news that the result of our
election has inspired confidence in
American honor and American credit.
