For be II remembered that Iowa sent
something like $1,000 troops to the war
10 per cent. Of Its popula tlon--and
these men, like CrOmwelrs irOnsides,
were jealous for cause, not for glory.
They fought principally In the West,
and they made an illustriOus record
In every battle In which they were en-.
gagged. They fought at Wilson's Greek,
DonclsOn, Shiloh, Iuka and Vlcksburg.
They gave battle In Louisiana, Mis-.
souri, ana Arkansas. They carried the

western State and marched with Sher.
man to the sea. One brigade was with
Sherman In the valley, ana wherever
they were placed they fought with such
an admirable steadiness as to win the
encOmiums Of their generals. For this
reason the Iowa monument should rep
resent the ideal Iowa soldier and by
appropriate inscriptions preserve the
memory of his heroism and his gal.

The Business Of HOme-Maklng.

Study and drill are required for every
profession and for every responsible
position in life except the one Of home
making.
No person applies for the situation Of
typewriter, teacher or pharmacist with
out preparation, and il she did she
would not be accepted, says Fl. E, H., in
New York Voice. Yet persons Of reco-
gnized intelligence in most things will sp-
ply for the situation of home-making
without a knowledge Of even its rudi-
ments.
"Not qualified" is the secret Of many
discontented, embittered lives, and keeps
to the front the great question:" Is
marriage a failure?" New homes are
daily formed; the young and hopeful and
loving are assuming untried reponsibili-
ties. They enter upon them in the full
faith in their ability, with their mutual
love, to turn aside the calamities that
have wrecked 80 many homes and lives.
But how sad, to many, is the reality
stripped of its glamour and its gloss.
The woman in whom "the heart Of her
husband doth safely trust" is surely to
be priced far above rubles. Upon her
wise management, her care and economy,
largely depend their mutual success and
happiness. She is the center Of the home,
its light and life, the angel spirit that
infuses homo love into the hearts Of her
family.

Each one Of these kitchens has a public
dining room, comfortably warmed and
furnished, and supplied with the daily
papers. Each one supplying from 300
to 400 people with daily meals, is man
aged by local committee, the whole
scheme being under control Of central
council. Waste Of any kind is absolutely
forbidden. A subscription Of s., ,250 was
sufficient to start the scheme. The re-

kitchens increases each year, while the
council pays fair wages and is able to
pension off its old servants. For sum

Let Up On Kansas.

Let Up On Kansas,
Two great and virtuous journals pub
lished in the highly moral cities Of New
York and Chicago continue to assault the
state of Kansas, because that common
wealth preferred at the last election the
Populism Of Lewelling, Leedy and DOster
to the Republicsnism Of Cy Leland and
the editor of the Emporia Gazette.
In answer to the Suns sneers at "the
bad eminence Of Kansas, it might be said
that Kansas provides school buildings
for her children, which is more than the
city Of New York is doing. About 50,-
600 boys and girls Of school age were
turned away from the school doors last
September in our great metropolis be-
cause there were no accommodations for
them. Now, while we regret that the
Populists have carried Kansas, it is only
fair to say that Kansas provides we'll for
the education Of her youth.
Out in Chicago, that model community
by the lake, the Times, Herald also has
fling at Kansas, saying that "she stands
condemned at the bar Of public opinion
as no State has ever been since the union
was formed" And all because she
elected, the Popullst ticket. It might,
in simple fairness, be we'll to remind
Chicago that, Populist though she be,
Kansas is years behind Chicago in breed
ing class of thinkers who throw dyns-
mite bombs at the police.
Other points Of comparison between
Kansas and our two imperial cities
would be interesting. For example,
there is four times as much church
going in Kansas, in proportion to the
population, as there is in New York and
Chicago; four times as much sobriety,
and four times as much moral cleanliness.
II more than half OF the people Of Kansas
want cheaper money they have not de-
veloped "6nsnciers" who become million
aires by railroad wrecking and breaking
the laws. If Kansas has her Pe6erg,
New York has her Jay Goulds. Any
observer with half an eye can see all
these things.
So let up on Kansas. She will worry
along with as little infraction Of the Ten
Commandments as New York and
Chicago. .-Sprtng1aegd (MoSs.) RepubS'

OTHERS OPINIONS OF US.

Something OF the Impression EOrel8neES
Have of Our Manners and Customs.
Perhaps there is nothing more enter
tanning to all mankind than hearing OF
the manners and customs of the people
of foreign countries. We take an espe-
cislly vivid interest in what they eat, and
do not like to have our enjoyment dis
turbed by the assertion that certain
cherished beliefs are without foundation.
We have been so long accustomed to
give ourselves shivers Of horror over cer-
tain Chinese dishes that we feel some
thing akin to resentment when we read
in "The Chinamsn at Home," Tcheng-
Ki-Tong's positive denial that his
oountrymen live upon the extraordinary
dishes described by certain travellers.
"Never in my life," he says, shave l seen
or heard Of any one who ate cat or dog" ."
A like mistake, we are told, once
brought great embarrassment to q
worthy host and his guests. 1t was be-
fore the Revolution, and a French
SQUADRON was anchored in Boston HarbOr.
A gentleman Of Boston invited the Ad-
mirRl and his officers to o sumptuous

his guests with one Of their own national

The world has at last conceded to
woman equality with man in education
social, national, religious. Then there
have been open to her many avenues for

arts and classics. But with the higher
education of woman, Of which 80 much

an American lady told him that in her

A few years ago two Japanese gentle
men Of high standing were travelling In

places visited a large and widely-knoWn

invited by the senior member Of the firm
to lunch with him. Colonel M. was
also of the party. 1t happened that the
first food placed on the table was dish
Of fried potatoes, and as the msnufact-
urer enthusiastically explained his
business to his guests, he unthinkingly
took piece Of potato from the dish with
his fingers, and ate it. A second and
third piece followed The Japanese
listened politely, but Colonel M. observed
that they were closely watching their
hosts method Of eating. The colonel
has keen sense Of humor, and he at
once decided that he would follow his
friends example and see what the others
would do. He did SO, and instantly both
japanese made dive for the dish, and
thus they sat eating potaotes with their
fingers, presenting, it is to be feared, the
appearance of four men who had had
nothing to eat for q long while, and
expected never to get anything again.
