CoLoRED NIGHTsHoUTERs.

SOIOINbO hNlSt1Iot1OO1 EMS.
To the Daily Light; ~
A large majority of our colored citi-
zens are respectable and law abiding
citizens, but, there is a certain class
of night bummers who need an occa-
sional reminder that they are living
among white people and must stop
their shouting and noisy behavior at
nighttime. 1t is this class that is fill
ing the jails all over the country for all
sorts of criminal acts, and it is time
that the colored preachers, and school
teachers teach their race the necessity
of becoming quiet and peaceable citi-
zens instead of the loud church shout
ing which does no good but, to the
contrary, is a very annoying object at
night to neighboring white people who
want their rest and not be molested
by such nonsensical loud shoutings; no
other race has such loud religious con-
gregations. Educate your children
the same way as the white people do
and there will be less complaint heard
of, and keep them at home at night in
stead of letting them bum around like
a herd of stray cattle.

Woman and Church Organizations.

1.-The time is coming, " says Tho Con gregationa1ist of Boston, "when organ izations for women only in the church es will be as exceptional as similar or- ganizatiens for men only Tho Ameri- can beafd will have women in its cor porate membership and on it's pruden- tial committee. They will be found ill the executive committees of the 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 of conf1ning their administration to the affairs of their own sex, nor will men wish them to doso We may not all ap- prove of this change which has become so manifest Some of us may study ways of retarding it. The 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.

Tho Anno Parish Club.

It is said that Anne Parish, Quaker
 spinster horn in I7G0, founded the first
 woman's club in Philadelphia 102 years ago Tho 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 tho Hannah Adams theory. The Anno Parish club was composed of 23 young women of excellent families, and they devoted themselves to philanthropic work. They met every week and devised plans for relieving the sufferings and necessities of the poor and afflicted. The grand daughters and great-granddaughters of the members of the original society still carry OH the work Passing down through the oldest daughter, tho present officers of the club are two "clerks, D a treasurer and an executive committee of 13. 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 well.

Many singers fail to realize the im- portanee of distinct enunciation, and the charm of beautiful voice is often lost by the listener who is yainly strug- gling to catch the meaning of the song. A young woman who considers her self an admirable ballad singer one day received severe shock from the crit icism of an old lady who had formed one of her audience Among other bal lads the singer had rendered "Rory 0'More" in her best style and had re- oeiyed much applause
 The old lady, who sat in the front seat in the little hall where tho enter tainment was given, looked at first pug zled and then distressed as the familiar song proceeded, and at tho close of the concert she waited to speak to the young woman.

Scientists Declare That Both Are HIghSg
 Beneficial.
 It is not so very long ago since foT~ eign scientist diseoursed on tho benefits of yawning. This act, which is gener- ally regarded as partalzing of the nature of tired condition, or symptom of such 8 condition, of the respiration and of the need for fresh air, is said to be of great service In clearing the eusta- chian tubes of the ears. These tubes lead from the back of the mouth to the inner side of the ear drum, and yawn- ing is looked upon i'll this light as a structures in question.
 Another scientist has no difficulty in showing that when we laugh we in- crease the play of tension in our lunga One result of this increased tension is to arrest the blood flow in the lungs and to induce the taking of deep in- spirations These latter arc healthful things, for many parts of our lungs arc not called into active use ill ordinary breathing. The apex, or top of the lung, is notably part which docs not active ly participate in the movements Of breathing and as this is the special seat of consumption attack we may reasonably hold that the law of disuse explains tho greater liability of this portion of the organ to the onset of dis sase. The free and active use of part, strengthening and toning it, as it were, is an essential condition for health; hence laughter, by bringing into play tho whole of the lungs, or at least by favoring an increase of lung work, Is to be reckoned an admirable exercise.
 Besides this physical effect of laugh ter we have also to take into account it's mental side. Thero is certain brain stimulus to be noted, psychic result, in addition to the physical effect, and it is pretty certain tho mental phase of 6 good, hearty laugh is, in its way, as healthful as is its physical aspect. Singing is also praised as an excellent lung exercise, and public speaking is as effective a lung tonic as one may wish for The only drawback to the work of the speaker is the foul condition of the atmosphere in which he has often to do his work. .-Exchanga
