II we may draw an inference from GER
tain discussions which have recently in
terested readers here and abroad the
new woman whoever that nebulous
parsonage maybe, intends to frown upon
the large family. One child or two at
most it is gravely asserted, should sat
isfy the mother heart and fill the mother
arms, so that she may have time for
drlfes. and pleasures and the pursuit
of ambitions in which child bearing and
child rearing play a very subordinate
part. She around whom the large family
gathers, the family numbered by six or
seven or nine children. sons and daugh-
tiers growing together in beauty devel-
oping in the world of the home as only
brothers and sisters can, is regarded as
an object of pity, if not of contempt.
With a lofty disapproval of the inten-
tons of the Creator, who made the race
man and woman cne the complement Of
the other these latter-day champions of
woman. written with a capital, look
scornfully on the wife who is satisfied
with quiet home work and ways and who
accepts motherhood as her crown of CORY,
her highest dignity and her dearest joy.
They forget or ignore in their compass
sion for the woman who bears more than
one babe, that with every little one whom
she cradles against her breast the moth
er's whole self is renewed. so that she
puts on beauty like a garment. and is
literally blessed among women when she
broods over her child.
In the old days and the old races the
chfldless, not the many-childed, woman
was the object of conmiseration. Am
not better to thee than ten sons?" ex-
claimed the husband of Hannah, as over
and over she implored with passionate
entreaty the gift from God of the child
so long withheld. Dear as the husband
was, the bond between him and the
woman drew more closely when they
called a little child their own.
One has frequently noticed sometimes
with wonder that the m!ddle-aged
mother of a. large family actually looks
and certainly feels younger than her
contemporary, who has either had no
children or only one or two. Strangely
enough, the large family is as easily
brought up and educated, ard in the
end turns out usually as well, as the
small one. The more crowded the nest
the closer the fedgelings presENtogether.
Self denial, family love, family loyalty
thrive better where there is reason for
their exercise and growth
There are good times in the family
circle large enough to have enjoyment
within itself and not depend altogether
on outsiders. The mirthful dance, the
games, the evening songs. the studies,
the mutual pride. the protecting of the
younger by the older, and the uplookinS
of the younger to the older are pos
sible in the large as they are not in the
small household. And she who stands ut
! the helm. guiding, influencing, controll-
ling, molding her sons and daughters,
need long for no wider privileges nor
4 yearn for greater responsibility.

THE LOVERS COMING.

I have waited for your coming, as the
blossoms
In the plghted buds of winter wait the
spring.
AS the robins with the red upon their
bosoms
Await the sweet and loving time to
sing.
I have listened for your footsteps as the
meadows
Low listen for the dewfan in the night
AS the parched plains droop and dream
toward the shadows;
AS the leaves in darkness listen toward
the light
There is never any rose without the kisses
OF the spring upon its leaves of red and
white;
There is never any meadow if it misses
The dewfall on its bosom in the night.
There is never any robins breast that.
cleaning,
Shall feel the thrill and futter of a
wing,
And set the world loving and to dream
If there never comes sunny time to
sing.
Let the dew the meadows violets discover.
Let the robin sing his sweetest to the
closet
There is never any love without lover
You are coming, and the world blooms
like a rose.

1T CAN BE ENFORCED.

No paper has more violently assailed
the commissioners for enforcing the Sab
bath law respecting saloons than the
New York World, yet from that paper
we clip the following:
at shows you what the police have
accomplished said Acting Inspector
Brooks. There never was a time until
recently when the Tenderloin could not
be counted on for big batch of arrests
and police cases of all kinds. With the
saloons closed crime decreases and ma
turally arrests are fewer. l never knew
of such a quiet Sunday before in the
Tenderloin as yesterday"
This one sentence of Inspector Brooks
has more weight than a ton of anti-pro-
hibition theories: with the saloons
closed, crime decreases. What is true
about Sunday closing would also be true
for every daY in the week.

EASTERN HANDS ON THE THROAT
OF THE WEST.

But a few years ago the west was an
mbroken wilderness. 1t required great
energy, perseverance and self-denial
to develop it. Its settlement and civil
iZation were accomplished amid scenes
of indesoribable danger, privation and
trial. The early western settler was a
hero. He took the lives of his family
and his own life in his hands and went
among the rowing bands of savages
and, by singular self-denial and indom-
liable energy, established a home and
laid the foundation of the marvellous
civilization that followed. Having
faithfully and conscientiously per-
formed this prodigious work, and hav-
ing opened the way to profitable in
vestment of large sums of eastern cap
ital, he naturally had a right to think
that at least in all national affairs he
would be treated on terms of equality
with his casters brethren. Much of the
development of the west is due, doubt
less, to a large use off eastern capital.
eastern and foreign money has largely
aided in the construction of our rail-
ways and materially assisted in OPEN
ing our mines and farms. 1t has lsK--
wise been instrumental, in some meas
ure in building our towns and cities
and IN these respects we are the debt
ors of the east. But it should be re-
membered that the obligation is not en-
tirely oneSided. The west thus afford
ed an enlarged opportunity for eastern
enterprise and capital, and large and
secure returns on investments that
could not otherwise have been made;
and we have, in fact, offered very
fruitful field which the east has Quilt

wealth, and would be productive of a
prosperity that has hitherto been I'M
known. if eastern greed could be held
in check long enough to accomplish the
work.
A sentiment exists in the west that it
is the purpose of the eastern money
loaners and capitalists to drain our
industries OF their profits by unfriendly
legislation and that they do not in
tend to permit an enlarged volume of
money, and by this and like means
1t is their purpose to increase the ma

STRAY SHOTS AT THE SALOON.

A liquor journal says: Drunkenness
is crime that deserves punishment"
Why not also punish the producers of
drunkenness-t manufacturers of drunk
ards?
Drunkenness is not only the cause of
crime, it is a crime, and the encourage
ment of drunkenness for the sake of
profit on the sale OF drinks is certainly
one of the most criminal methods of as
sassination for money ever adopted by
the bravoes of any age or country.-John
Ruskin.
Liquor is at the bottom of all our pow
erty. If the tax for it were lifted there
would not need to be man, woman or
child without bread. There cannot be a
more pitiful or contemplate sight than a.
man quarrelling over and bemoaning his
taxes while tickling his palate and burn
ing up his stomach and his substance
with glass after glass of whisky G.
Holland.
l know much is said about the prudent
use of ardent spirits, but we might as
well speak of the prudent use of the

troduced prudently into our dwellings, to
glide about as g. matter of courtesy to
our visitors and of amusement to our

and fret about it; when if we would only
accustom ourselves to thinking that we
can live but one day at time, what loads
of unava1ling care we might escape. En-
erson gave his daughter some advice on
this subject that is applicable to ALL He
says: Finish every day and be done with
it. For manners and for wise living it is
vice to remember. You have done what
you could; some blunders and absurdities
no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as
you can. Tomorrow is a, new day; you
shall begin it well and serenely, and with
too high spirit to be numbered by your
old nonsense. This day for all that is
good and fair. 1t is too dear, with its
hopes and invitations, to waste a moment
on the rotten yesterday.

COLD IN THE EYES.

This generally begins with feeling of
irritation in the eyes, which is increased
by rubbing. The eyes are red and watery,
and strong light causes a sensation OF
pani Sometimes the lids are found to be
stuck together in the morning.
In this case try bathing the eyes every
few hours with alum water, made by dis
solving six grains of alum in half tea
cupful of rain water. To keep the eye
lids from sticking together, a little sper-
macetu ointment may be rubbed over
them on going to bed. The eyes should
be rested. and the patient should remain
indoors, If possible.

1t is remarkable thing that Paul
Du Chaillu, who in his earlier years
gained such fame from his explorations
in Central Africa and from the thrill
ing recital of his adventures, has not
cared in the period of his mature man
hood to renew his experiences in the
same field. He enjoys talking about
lions. tigers, elephants and gorillas and
other big game. but is we'll content to
leave them in the forest or jungle while
he treads the pathways of civilization
and enjoys the life of great cities. AL
most equally remarkable is the indiffer-
ence of this thorough Frenchman to
the charms of Paris and his own coun-
try, and his decided preference for the
western continent. He likes Americans
better than Frenchmen; he likes New
York better than Paris, and. as place

London better than any spot on earth.

Chaillu has hunted one all day unsuc-
cessfully, although sure that the ape

life or death combat ensues. 1t is
terrifying thing to see gorilla make

covered with reddish hair thrown for
ward from the black body, it's features
convulsed with rage, the small, deep
set eyes cleaning Indignantly, and the
fangs of the heavy jaws showing be-
tween tensely drawn lips. What adds
to the excitement is the necessity,
owing to the denseness of the jungle
where gorillas are found, of holding
ones fire until the last moment, a
hunter never discharging his piece
from a longer distance than eight
yards, while from fourteen to eighteen
feet is the ordinary gorilla range.

"REMINISCENCES

Finding myself beside NJ Du Chaillu
at resort in better Bohemia some
time ago, I finally, but not without diff
ficulty, drew him away from his IA
vorate topic of the Vikings, and in
duced him to tell me something about
the big animals of far-away lands
which he has hunted so many times.
He spoke fluently in English, but with
Gallo animation. and If was a fine
sight to see this little man. brown
skinned, we'll preserved, and full of
kindly humor, light up as he called to
mind those stirring times of long ago.
We talked gorrillas for while and
he expressed no sympathy with the
DarwiniaE theory, regarding the dis
lance between man and these big apes
as too great to be spanned by any
step of science. To his notion there is
little that suggests the human form in
the anatomical structure of the gorlI-
la, the animal having great difficulty
in maintaining his equilibrium on its
hind legs and always going down on its
launches, almost sitting down. when
about to attack. And yet he admitted
that the animals remarkable facial
resemblance to man, in spite of its re-
pulsive hideousnesS, always made him
feel certain sinking of heart on kill
ing a gorilla. Nor could he look with
out feeling upon dead gorilla. M. Du
Chaillu remembers killing gorilla
that stood nearly six feet in height,
and had a reach of the arms of nine
I feet. It's large toe was as thick as a
mans wrist, while the hands, with
their great claws. had strength to
crush a mans skull or disembowel him
with a single blow. He had heard

Meneleli, the Emperor of Ethiopia
and Negus of Abyssinia, is radical
reformer. The correspondents write
that lately he has promulgated several
sumptuary laws. Among them is one
forbidding any woman to wear jewels
of gold. This privilege is reserved eX-
clusively to Empress Taitu. Another
law prohibits tobacco-smoking. This
is explained by the fact that Menelell
noticed one day that a tobacco plant
had grown over the grave of one of his
ancestors.
