Another Relic of Barbarian.

Previous to the close of the civil war of 1861 to 1865 it was continually stated that slavery is relic of bsrbarism." Negro slavery in the United States has been abolished, but with all our boasted civilization another form of slavery still exists in this country. Let so-called Christianity hang it's head in shame un- til woman is emancipated. Woman is mans peer, and the quicker that fact is universally recognized the better. The general conference of the Metho- odist Episcopal Church, now in session at Cleveland, Ohio, lost one of the grandest opportunities of the age for putting itself on record as being in favor of emancipating woman, but its action and decision is relic of barbar- ism and is blot upon the fair escutch- con of Christianity. Its action was an e1empli6cation of the supreme hoggish- ness of man who fears that woman will supplant him, not only ID the Church, but in all the educational. professional and business pursuits of life. s'Keep woman down; yes, keep her down, or she Hill stand on an equal footing with us" is the only interpretation that can be made of the action of the men in that conference. That policy is sui cidal one for Christianity. That pol. icy stulifies Christianity and nentra- lizes all it's claims of superiority over human depravity. The sel6shness of politics prevents woman suffrage. but the benevolence and justice of Chris tianity should emancipate woman.
 The action of the conference is brief. ly stated by the Rev T. 8. Bond, of Millerton, N. Y, as follows:
 The great problem after the confer ence was organized was the question of woman representation in the body, and e wordy battle was waged which lasted four days and ended by the woman elect withdrawing, and the matter be. ing sent down to the annual conference to be voted upon the next year. and ii three -fourths of the ministers present and voting are in favor the next general conference, in 1900, will see them, ii elected, seated. It is doubtful If the general conference since the split on the slavery question in lS44 ever passed through a more serious crisis; at times the excitement was terrific, and il seemed impossible to find 8 common ground, but after while each side saw the necessity for some concessions, and finally the fourth day the matter wal settled as stated.

It's Real Beauty Is Felt Only when.
1t Is Seen In All It's Varying As
poets t8s
know the happy time has passed
when the stranger is offered an apart
ment in the palace; probably Washing
ton Irving himself nowadays would
have to put up in the hotel of his own
name, instead Of the rooms Of the fair
Elizabeth of Parma; Gautier, do not
believe, would have a chance to wrap
himself in his blanket, and sleep sin
gle night in the open court of Louis or
the hall of the Two Sisters, dreaming
Of the harems and it's beauties, who
had slept there so many ages before
him. But by day, at least, we, too,
can boast that in our castle Of memory
once our home was the Alhambra. It
was easily managed. We had but to
ask, and we got ticket. This was
supposed to enable us to pursue our
studies, and, in proof of our claim to it,
j. would start out in the morning with
such an imposing assortment of sketch
blocks, stools and ink bottles that the
ever-advertised gypsy king was always
at our heels to assure US that he had
been Fortuny's model and Regnault's.
l, for my part, bought from the
guides the book which Senior Contreras
has written about the Alhambra, and
l carried Gautier and Irving with me
wherever went. But, for all this
parade, our most serious study during
the first days was to adopt courts and
gardens to the passing hours. And
why not? More than half century
ago was not Washington Irving afraid
that the place had been already too
we'll described to stand still another
cription? Has not it's every story
been told it's every ballad sung? Has
it not been sketched and painted and
taken" until the guide will tell you
glibly how Fortuny used this for a
background, and Regnault that, down
to the choice Of the last stray amateur
to come with his irrepressible kodak?
Besides, ours really was the true way
to study the Alhambra, to get to IN
derstand its loneliness. It is no bet
ter than museum, and very empty
one. as melancholy show place
the Roman forum, when you follow thu
guide, stopping, as he bids you, to
whisper for an echo, or to receive a
spriS of myrtle, or to see on the pave
ment the freshly rubbed in blood Of
the Abencerrages.
All! what secrets I could tell of the
Alhambra to archaeologists or archi-
tect, busy deciphering Inscriptions and
measuring arches! It is no better than
labeled specimen. Its real beauty is
not felt until you come to know Just
how each room, each arcade, each
wall space looks when drenched with
sunlight, just how it's effects change
when the shadows fall upon it, just at
what moment a latticed window opens
upon the coolest prospect, or a lofty
hall is most soothing refuge from the
heat.-June Century.

Jakey's PuDt.

Eli there, Jake! Wot yer dreamin'
fur in broad daylight" called jeer-
voice, and a handful Of mud spattered
against his face
This was not an unusual attention in
the alley, where mud was easily found
in the vicinity Of cutters and there
were times when JaEey would have
accepted it with unconcern, but now.
he said, sullenly: "Lemme lone, can't
.yer?" III.
"S'posin' I don't? Wot yer goin' ter
do bout it," questioned the tormen-
tor. "Wouldn't knock me down, would
yer? Oh, I'm afraid! See nue. trim
ble." He swayed with knees shifting
each other as in terror. A laugh went
up from some boys playing at jack
stones with pebbles. ooh; me! oh, me!
I'm afeared Of baby Jake"
The veins stood out on Jakey's fore
head, his hands clenched. He sprang
down the steps and planted his head
In the stomach of the offender. Both
boys fell together, but Jakey was up
first and off down the alley followed
by applause Of spectators and threats
Of the enraged bully, who raced after.
His bare feet carried him swiftly
around the corner, where he lodged
INTO sheltering doorway to watch his
larger pursuer pant by. Tommy Ma
gee had vowed to- wipe the street"
with him, and would fulfill that VOW
were the object of it again within his
reach.
