Woman and Church Organizations.

.The tine is coming, says The Con gregationalist of Boston, "when organ izations fer women only in the church. es will be as exceptional as similar or ganizations for mon only The Ameri. ean board will havo women ill its cor porate membership and on its pruden- tiai committed They will be found in the executive committees of tho other societies They comprise about two thirds of the membership of the church es, and they will assume their part in the management of the work of the churches. They will no longer think o4 confining their administration to the affairs of their own sex, nor will men wish them to do SO We may not all ap- prove of this change which has become 90 manifest, Some of us may study ways of retarding it, Tho Congrega- tionalist would not be understood as positively advocating it. It cannot af- ford space for the controversy that would follow. But if others hasten the inevitable we shall not condemn them. {"

The Anne Parish Club.

It is said that Anne Parish, Quaker spinster, born ill l760, founded the first woman's club in Philadelphia 1O2 years ago. The Federation of Clubs has been immortalizing Hannah Adams and hailing her as the pioneer clubwoman, but this story of Anne Parish will somewhat interfere with the Hannah Adams theory The Anno Parish club was composed of 23 young women of excellent families, and they devoted themselves to philanthropie work. They met every week and devised plans for relieving the sufferings and necessities of the poor and afflicted. Tho grand daughters and t-granddaughters of the members of the original society still carry on the work. Passing down through the oldest daughter, the present officers of the club are two "clerks, D a treasurer and an executive committee of Is. The membership supports a homo, where nearly 100 old women who arc poor and needy go every day And read sew, knit and darn and are paid for their labor and get wholesome meals as we'll.

 A small hamlet across the river from Coalburg, W. Va. is known as Shrews- bury. Its only distinguishing feature has been the multiplicity of it's widows. Some were old and some were buxom. There was 15-year-old and one of 50.
 Most of them were childless, but sev. eral had one or moro renembrances of the ono dead. Two grass widows were in the group, and one other had glass eye. Several had money, two or three 8 farm, one owned groeery store and five or six had pension.
 There were others who only had ex- perience and hope, but today there il not widow in Shrewsbury. One died of old age Another went away to ac- eept position as second cook on Big Sandy pushbont, and of the others every one is married
 There was one elopement A girlisl widow of 40, with bangs, went dowr the river with boy coal miner, but shs was determined not to be left. Squire, caught eight or ten couples, and minis ters had few who gave 25 cents for th' ceremony.
 A lot of rooms with board for eligible widows can be had cheap at Shrews bury, and number of unincumbere, men, weary of single life, are willing to exchange their forlorn condition fo the smiles of not too old or exactin widow.

After Reaching 10 They Usually Retire
 or Enter Another Occupation.
 Did you ever notice, said a veteran tonsorial artist, who had shaved New Hayeners since 1873, to New Haven Register man, "that you only sec few old barbers?"
 Why is it?'
 There are a good many reasons, i" answered the veteran knight of the blade. T suppose the chief one is that a barber's hand becomes unsteady after he gets to be about 40 years old and he has to give up. A good many barbers drink hard, and that makes their nerves and hands unfit for service, and they retire before they cut their customers threats Still, will say that in all my experience of 37 years I never saw Q man badly cut by a barber, not even by an accident for which the barber was not responsible. "
 What becomes of the barbers after they retire?'
 "Oh, some of them go to the poor house, he replied, with a twinkle in his eye, land some of them, who have saved their wages, buy little places and live on them, perhaps running a farm. Some of them, of course, go into other business, perhaps bookselling or else be- come insurance agents. have heard of barbers whs gave up the business and became butsagrs.

4 Pretty French Yoke.

Says a New York Fashion writer A pretty French yoke, en jabot, is made to fit around the neck like an or dinary yoke, which is also taken in with the shoulder seams. On each side of the collar is narrow box plait, and this deseends and widens to the lower edge of the yoke, which is partly hid den beneath the shirred top of the full waist below. On this yoke the lower edge is left to fall en jabot, and this unconfned portion is edged with ribbon or insertion and narrow lace
 when does high priced wheat benefit the farmer, is a question variously an swered. It does not do so at all seasons of the year. If the rise in wheat comes suddenly in the spring, just when the old stock of grain is low and the new is not yet in sight, spectators and grain dealers get all the advantage of it. If. however, sharp advance comes about hary est time, when eight out of every ten aericulturists sell their wheat, then the farmer will get his share of the good prices. II
