during few months stay. Her broad
statement is to the effect that the good
service one can get in the east is suf
ticient recompense for staying there,
rather than go without servants here.
She pretends, and alleges, that the
Chinese servant will not do what is re-
quired of him, and the ones she knew
about wanted all their afternoons to
go to the joss-house-required this in
dulgsnce, in fact.
The article, on its face, is both unfair
and untrue-indeed devoid of every
thing that is valuable on the score of
information. And the worst of it ia
that, being found in reputable pub
location, it carries some weight of worth
with it. The substance of it. or rather
it's conclusions, furnish text for a
short editorial in the last London Illus
trated News, and the opinion is ex-
pressed that not even the sunshine Of
Southern California is worth the price
one must pay for it in they way of 60
ing without domestic sprvice. This only
illustrates how fast and far untruth-
fulness travels.
It will be readily admitted that the
question of house help is a serious
one everywhere, but he who has latterly
lived in the cities-or country towns
of, say, New England, knows that the
problem is about at its worst there.
Good service is practically impractic-
able to find there, as compared with
former times, while wages are con-
stantly advancing. What the future
has in store for the mistress of the
average household is not pleasant to
contemplate. 1t is true that wages are
still higher here, but it is also true
that while the whole problem is grow
ing more troublesome and threatening
there, it is somewhat improving here.
Already is there a great gain over
"boom" days, and any household able
to afford it can be furnished with do
mestic service here that is vastly more
relistle than is obtainable there. The
Irish servant of the Atlantic states
cannot for moment be compared
with the Chinese servant here for eff
cheney and faithfulness, and to gratui-
tously slander the latter for the sake
of saying something smart, is only an
other proof that there are certain per-
sons who love to carry large load,
and if they do not have one they make
one.
The Atlantic Monthly for March
has an especially attractive table of
contents. Two articles, however, will
lead the others in popular interest.
One is John Fiske's A Seminary of Sc
dition, being another paper on the
early history Of Virginia, and the
other is devoted to the considera-
ton of Secretary of Agriculture Nor
toms possible presidential candidacy.
The sketch of the man is very interest
ing while the circumstances surround
ing his selection to I'LL this latest
cabinet place are given in full, and will
be news for most people. The Atlantic
has always been strong in this class of
political writing and seems bent on

versy in the volume, but once in a
while the author takes occasion to take
up some of the prejudices against the
church. For instance, he shows that
it was not alone the inquision that pro-
nounced against Calico and the Copper
nican theory, but the whole system of
philosophy that dominated the world
at that time, and this is made compre-
hensively clear.

THE ROUsING OF MRS. POTTER, AND
OTHER STORIES. BY GERTRUDE SMITH.
Houghton Miflin & Co. Boston. For sale
by Stoll & Thayer.
A great many readers of HE HERALD
will recall the story of The Rousing of
Mrs. Potter, which originally appeared
in the Century magazine, as did an
other charming one in the present vol
ume. A Theft Condoned. or the others
we have no very distinct memory,
though several we're published, we be-
lieve, in the Cosmopolitan.
Besides the ones referred to above,
the list included in this very handsome
volume comprises A Lone Old Woman,
Weighed in the Balance, A Hope De-
ferred, On Pawnee Prairie, Colonel
Paddington's Nurse, Dams Little Girl,
An Only Son, At the Spring, and
Gardi.
The Rousing of Mrs. Potter will be
accounted the best of all, and has in
deed been given very high place
amongst famous short stories. In
delicacy of touch and skill of plot and
purpose, it reminds one of Miss Jewett,
and is not whit behind that famous
little New Englander's efforts. AL
though this volume is not new it is
having a steady sale, and will never
grow old.
Miss Smith is now a-sojourning in
Los Angeles, but for how long time
we are not able to state.

THE GERMAN LANGUAGE AND GERMAN
LITERATURE.
Prof. Isaacs of the University OF New
York has this bold and fine thing to
say of German literature. as distin-
guished from mere study of the lam
guage
"Unless the teacher be a true inter-
prefer, the study of German literature
will always be sealed and the great
names on its rolls be as mysterious as
the primitive writings on bark. It
must be studied, not AZ fragment, but
as whole. 1t is record of continu-
GUS thought, not insulated or isolated,
but in contact with the great world
without, and in harmony with the laws
of individual and national develop
ment. The American needs the vital
izing lessons that the German thought
masters lmpsrt he cannot, save at the
risk of dwarting his mental stature,
exclude himself from their hracing and
liberaliZing influence. Hence our col
legss and universities should not relax
in their efforts to promote the study
of German literature as literature, and
utilize every practicable method to in
terest and encourage the student

This is the season when there are
few new book. In fact, the general
book trade is duller now than in any
other time of the year. While the
publishers are always putting out
something, there will be small buying
till the warm weather comes, the sum-
mer time, the travelling and camping
time. Then the summer novel will be
in every shop and on every train.
Meantime, though there are few
books to write about, there are always
some literary matters of interest; and,
as rule, The HERALD will serve up the
freshest of these every week.
This little homily is worth remem-
bering, if not pasting into ones hat,
or posting on the mantel:
We have careful thoughts for the stranger,
And smiles for the som etime guest.
But oft for "our own bitter tone,
Though we love "our own" the best.

And here is something to cheer us
on rough days when we grow dull of
sense and low in hopelessness:
There is no blast owe'e er so fierce it blows
Across wild moorlands leaguered fast by

The thrush will carol in the heart OF June.

From Bishop Potter's great discourse
at the dedication Of Grace chapel, New
York, we select the following trumpet
blast:
"The growth of wealth and luxury,
wicked, wasteful and wanton, as before
God declare that luxury to be, has
been matched step by step by deep
ening and deadening poverty which
has left whole eneighborhoods of people
practically without hope and without
aspiration. At such time, for the
church of God to sit still and be con-
tent with theories Of it's duty outlawed
by time and long ago demonstrated to
be grotesquely Inadequate to the de-
mands of living situation, this is to
of God! Take my word for it, men
and brethren, unless you and and all
those who have any gift or stewardship
of talents or means, of whatever sort,
are willing to get up out of our sloth
and ease and selfish dilettanteism of
service, and get down among the people
who are battling amid their poverty
and ignorance-young girls for their
chastity, young men for their better
ideal of righteousness, old and young
alike for one clear ray of the immortal
courage and the immortal hope-then
verify the church in it's stately splen-
dor, its apostolic orders, it's venerable
ritual, its decorOus and dignified con-
ventions, is revealed as simply mon
strous and insolent impertinence!"

Worthy of Confidence,

All the testimonials published
in behalf of Hoods Sarsaparills
may be implicitly relied upon as
though they were written by
by your most trusted neighbor.
1t has often been Said and it is
perfectly true, that the testi-
monials telling of cures by Hoods
Sarsaparilla, are not purchased,
nor are they written up in our
office, nor are thep from our EN-
ployes. They are from our ems
Iloyes. They are from people
who have actually been cured
and who not only voluntarily,
but gladly and gratefully, be
cause they have been relieved by
suffering aud cured.
Hoods Sarsaparilla does not
perform miracles. 1t acts ac~
cording TO natural laws in effects
ing cures. It is the great blood
purifier. and it is because it pur>
ties the blood that it is capable of
curing SO many forms Of disease.
With the blood loaded with i'm
puritits or circulating through
the body when impoverished or
robbed of its life giving qualities,
there can be no such thing as
good health Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla gives vitality. richness and
purity to the blood and thus en-
ables it to supply every nerve
organ and tissue Of the body with
which health and vigor depend.

RUSSELL ON THE PRESIDENCY.

The New Hork World prints
a signed statement from Elk
Governor William E. Russell, of
Massachusetts. regarding the
action Of the Massachusetts con-
vention and his Endorsement for
the Presidency. The Ex-Gov-
ernor states that he is neither
seeking the nomination nor is
DESTROYS of being the candidate,
nor does he wish any movement
made in any State in his inter
eet. On the contrary, he states
that he has already earnestly re-
quested that no such movement
be made by any of his friends.
Mr.. Russell says;
1.-The important thing now is
to make every effort to have the
Democratic party take ali abso-
lutely sound position on the
money question, without evasion
or compromise. I believe this is
of vital consequence to the party
for it's present and it's future. [
am firmly of the opinion, as !
have already said, that our ma
tional platform ought explicitly
and emphatically oppose the free
coinage Of silver, DR. its compul-
sorry purchase, or any compro-
mise legislation in that direction,
and that it ought to indorse and
commend the administration Of
President Cleveland for his res
olute work in maintaining our
present gold standard and in
preserving the credit of the ma
ton. I think it would be neither
right nor wise to attempt to
avoid or straddle this question
by an ambiguous or meaningless
declaration. The time has passed
for that. The issue must be
made and fought out trust to
a sound conclusion"

THE WAGE-EARNER.

The New York Herald declares
that the wage-earners of the
United States would do we'll to
study the speech of Secretary
Carlisle delivered last week to the
workingmen of Chicago. The
Herald thinks a careful reading
of the speech would convince any
fair-minded workingman "that
the free coinage of silver would
fall with crushing effect on labor.
He calls especial attention to the
recent gathering of protectionist
manufacturers in an eastern State
to favor free silver upon the
ground that if we continue to
maiutain the gold standard of
value the silver standard countries
Gas India, China and Japan will
soon be able to undersell us in the
markets of the world"
Mr.. Carlisle said on this sub
ject:
"Reduced to its simplest form,
their proposition is that the manu-
facturers of a certain kind OF
goods in this country <
insist that a monetary system
of a certain class of manufacture
ers, but asks how the working
men would fare, and adds:
"The moment a free silver coin.
age law is passed manufacturers
will make fabulous gains, but
their workingmen will have to be
content with short commons,
American workingmen have beer
so often betrayed and tricked by
protection that they may now
we'll reject it even when it comes
in it's new silver mask"
There is nothing in free silver
for the wage Garner but the eA
change of 100 cent dollars for 81
cent dollars and the compulsion o.
paying higher prices for what h'
buys after his wages have thu
been cut down.
The Herald admits that fret
coinage might increase the profit
shall be adopted here which vii
give them the advantage of pay

and revenue legislation, may moi
seem hopeful; but the present con
ditions are but temporary, and
there can be little doubt that the
present depression will be follow
ed, as all previous ones have been,
by a great industrial revival. =
y y In other branches of manu-
featuring, similar changes have
taken place, although, perhaps, to
a less degree.
The Southern cotton manufac-
ture threatens the existence of
many New England mills, and
there is a general tendency to
migration Of manufacturing to-
ward the West and the South. x
In the near future, a. we
have already stated, there will be
in the United States a great de-
velopment of manufacturing in
dustry, and a great increase in
the number of new factories,
while at the same time there will
be a struggle for success between
the old and the new, in which
many of the old ones will be driven
out Of existence.
As in the past, so in the fu-
ture, the success of a factory will
depend upon your principal con-
ditions: l., abundant capital; 2,
good location; 3, the most modern
machinery; 5, good management.
= = The building of large
cotton mills in the South is al
ready inaugurating a new struggle
for existence between the cotton
mills Of the North, of which no
outsider can predict the outcome.
< In general, the ten

more to aspread of manufacturing
industries more generally over the
country. So far as local condi-
tons and supply of raw materials
will permit, each section is .likely
to tend more and more to estab-
fish its own manufacturing indus
The modern nation is content to
export raw materials and import
all its manufactured products, and
this same principle is already be
ing acted upon by the various
of the Union. The days
when the manufacturing industry of
The United States was conferred in
New England and the Middle
States have gone never to return.
The South's day is dawning, and
n this section we IRE to see a phe-
lomenal advancement of indus
