LAS every woman and housekeeper
can appreciate, much of the pleasure
of the afternoon. comes while sitting
around small tables at luncheon, en-
joying free social intercourse. In fact.
this personal contact, this communion
should be me ntioned first as the foun-
dation, the philosophy of our work for
women. The practical lessons, the
specific instruction given. are only
means to an end. and cannot compare,
in value. with the exchange of conf
dences, the advice-giving, the burden
sharing, which we enjoy in the capacity
of an afternoon tea. This is entirely
reciprocal and untrammeled by nation
alfty, rest or social position. Poverty,
the most cruel and anxious. excludes
none; neither wealth with it's added re-
spOnSibilitieS and temptations.
1.-THE ideas made most prominent at
the mothers teas, are those of self
help and helpfulneSs to others. 1t is
certainly true that some have been
deferred from seeking aid. especially
those seeking 1t for the first time, and
that there is a growing reluctance to
acct pt something for nothing, even
from the Bethel workers. 1t is also
true that gentleness and helpfulness
increase.
THE exact prosperity of the mothers
teas cannot be computed nor reported.
We can only speak Of seed own-we
may never know where it fell, much
less if it brings forth fruit. To encour-
ase each obscure, forlorn life, to create
ideals where more exist, and to make
possible the fulfillment OF aspirations

we'll organized, then they began to
organize their work, and as a result
there developed under their fostering
care, the industrial school and the
mothers teas. A little later, with their
help. the English coffee house was
opened. All have done excellent work.
but the move that struck the vital
spark from the f1inty facts of poverty
and drudgery was the institution Of
the mothers teas. Man is a social
being and woman is more so, and the
women of toll, as much, if not more,
than the women Of leisure, needs the
diversion and inspiration that come
from social intercourse, and the educa-
ton and healthy mental friction that
come from lectures and practical dis
cuSSiOnS.
1t was Mrs. r. M. Newport who saw
this need and acted upon it in Novem-
Der of 81. With the sturdy and eff
cient aid of others she has stood by
the growing department. To present
more clearly the method Of this mother
work an extract from one of the re-
ports of Mrs. Higbee, superintendent
of mothers teas is submitted:
From Mrs. Higbee's Report.
'"The meeting is opened at 2:3O p. m.
, with singing and the Lords prayer,
led by Mr.. Morgan. This is followed
by a practicl talk upon some one Of
the many topics of interest to women,
or by practical lesson in some de-
partment of woman's work.
''Of the talks, we know not how to
speak, they have been so tender. so
helpful, so suggestive Of things women
need to know. There have been d.
rect and thoughtful talks by lady ply
sicians upon the care of children. the
home, habits Of living, cleanliness,
manners and morals. There have been
addresses on duties of motherhood,
the training of children, on temper
ance and on helpfulness to others; a
talk on the public schools enlivened
by a high school orchestra and an ex-
hibition and explanation of the pho
nograph. These are only a few of the
topics touched upon, and are merely
mentioned to indicate the variety.
Music and recitations of a high order
have been enjoyed.
THAT no one may be neglected, the
women are seated in sections, there
being six in number. Each section,
has its own superintendent, whose
duty it is to keep a record of the at

in which place it was deposited in
great quantities, which process is,
still going on. Now, in order to be
located in a belt, two of those
metamorphic strata are inclined in
ward toward each other from, as it
seems at least 100 miles in width
on the surface, coming much closer
together in the interior, and this
oily substances runs down the sides
of these impervious strata toward a
common center until it reaches
impervious layers at the bottom
and gradually saturates the strata
above, until they become wholly
saturated and are transformed into
what is termed the oil sand.
Where the impervious bottom is
uneven and in some places elevated
above the common level, gas will
rise from the oil and with great
pressure, will rise in those elevated
parts, and where wells are sunk
and drilled into those elevated parts
gas is procured in great guam
titles with very heavy pressure;
and when they are drilled into the
depressed parts, they produce oil in
great quantities, sometimes as much
as S, 900 and even 10000 barrels a
day. When the wells commence
to run down, the operators explode
large quantities of nitro-glycerine
in the bottom OF the we'll, which in
many instances soften the sand and
causes an increased flow of oil.
There are quite a pumber of oil
sands, generally known by the
name OF the man, who owned the
farm upon which it was struck,
such as Dunkard, Maple, Lynn,
Gordon, etc.
The first oil found was in Penn
sylvania, and was drilled in by a
spring pole, and found at COM
paratively shallow depth, which
process continued for many years,
but eventually fine and permanent
machinery was invented whereby
the work was operated by steam
and became a much easier process.
The distance to the sands varies
with the localities, ranging from
100 to 1000 feet, and the oil gen.
orally flows out by its own pressure
or by the gas pressure, and when
they run down and the gas pressure
is insufficient 10 force it out, they

Ballot reform in New York was
necessary says an eminent iurist,
because mere politicians by trade
who had no interest in government
or politics except to enrich and ag-
frandize themselves sought perpet-
ual control. There are other ex-
celient reform beside that of the bal
lot. Conspicuous among them is
the reform, promptly and thorough
ly effected, in dlsordered physical
system by Hostetters Stomach Bit
tiers, which counteracts tendencies
to serious disease, bred by a defci-
ency of vital stamina, irregularity
of the bowels, stomach, liver or kid
neys, and inqu:etude Of the nerves.
This sterling medicine, which has
for near half a century won because
it deserves popular favor, is COM
mended by physicians of eminence
who accord it their approval, not
only for its excellent qualities in a
remedial capacity, but also for its
serviceable properties as medicinal
stimu1ant. It sooths and strength
ems the nerves, and is far preferable
to the heady, unmedicated stimuli
of commerce.
