ENGLAND'S WOMEN.
The Difficulty They Experience In
Obtaining Means of Earn
ing n Living.

One fact which stood prominently
out in the statements made at the an
nual meeting in London of the Society
for Promoting the Employment of
women, because, perhaps, of the en-
phasiS given it by the chairman, Sir
Owen Roberts, was that there were
2,OUO,GOU more women in this country
than men, says the London News. OBJ
riously, therefore, the difficulty of OBJ
tanning work for such of them as had
Of necessity to earn THAR own living
was greater even than when males had
to be dealt with. And this was increased
by the comparative difficulty hitherto
experienced in providing the necessary
technical training for them. On this
point, however, Sir Owen Robert point
ed hopefully to the effort now being
made by the county council in estab-
fishing schools of domestic economy
The chairman also pleaded for special
consideration for grntlewomen who
had reached middle life without having
acquired skill in work of a definite
kind, these being the saddest cases
that come under the notice of the
society. Lady Knightley, of Fawsley,
who moved the adoption of the report
which dealt with the work OF the for
tieth year of the society, pointed out
that the market for women shorthand
writer's and typewriters was over
stocked, and suggested that women
should turn their attention to dairying
and the direction of laundries.

On all kinds of soil clover, when fully
grown, is benefit. It's roots break up
the heavy clay soils and make them per
mcable to air and moisture. But On
sandy soils clover growth as often as
every two or three years is a ncccssi-
ty. 1t is only thus that what vegetable
matter it contains can be kept from
being washed or burned away and
wasted. 1t is often difficult to get a
clover catch on sandy soil. Glover needs
mineral fertility, both potash and phos-
phate Of lime. In both these sandy soil
is generally deficient. There is no bet
ter single manure for sandy soil than
wood ashes. If from hard wood these
will also furnish some lime and phos-
phate.-Prairie Farmer.

FRIDAY NOVEMBER 8. 1893
Principles NOT MEN.

In the Danville Register we iino an ar
tiole on next Tuesdays election which we
oo,,r,end 70 the consideration of every
democrat In treating of the election III
the State at large, the Register says;
DESPITE the fact that far less interest
Is taken in this contest than IN lhe h"
tional election it Is OF Vastly Hloie III,
,ortance and should be q matter OF more
concern 10 the citizen than the choice Oh
a President. True, there is no opposition
"a the Democratic candidates IN many
cities ana counties. and IN otheIs ti0
opnosition Of independents ana kepuo'i
cans is generally regarded as insishiioalll.
Owing probably. to this lack OF strong
onnosition. there is considerable apathy
IN many quarters. 1t is very Dad policy
10 underestimate this opposition ana ldl
into the error Of ovcrcOnfidence. over
confidence has beaten more democrats
in virginia than strong opposition ~ -
The duty of every Democrat to cast MS
vote for the candidates of the party
yvhefher thcy are opposed 20 them or not
thereby givne them strong endorsehlenl
and maintaining the strength ana ei"-
cheney OF the party as an organizauoh'
nh surest way 20 discourage future he-
rublican or independent opposition is 10
crush II at every opportunity.
There is no gainsaying any proposition
the Register here lays down. Next our
contemporary turns to the election IN
pittsvlvania and Danville, and remarks;
"It is the duty Of every Democrat TO
support the ticket as "a whole without
scratching any name thereon. Personal
nreiudices or preferences should cut no
figure: they are all Democrats and regu-
larly chosen REPRESENTATIVES OF the party.
The man who only votes Tor man
on nersonal grounds or refuses 10 vote Tor
one on such grounds, Is not a thorough
going Democrat"
Forcibly put. that. And the contention
and the reasoning Of the Register are as
pertinent i'm their application TO all other
sections of the State as they are 20 Pitt
svlvania and Danvilie In the face OF
what depends upon the maintenance Of
Democratic ascendency and Democratic
marty discipline in Virginia, no true Dem
ocrat can Justify allowing personal pre-
iudioe or personal preferences to inhu-
ence him 10 vote against the regular nomi-
nees OF the party. In conclusion the Re-
gister says:
zone should support the ticket because
II comprises the nominees Of the party,
and not merely because ne happens TO Ike
or dislike the men in nomination
Precisely. That Is the test OF loyalty
TO the party. and considering what sad
experience teaches Us would result from
the control Of affairs passing out Of the
hands Of thd Democrats. it is also test
of loyalty and devotion to the best inter
ests of the Commonwealth. The issue
now, as It has always been, IS principles
and continued good government, not men.

Kipling's latest poem, "The Absent
Minded Beggar," is by no means up to
his usual standard and. indeed. lacks
both dignity and strength 1t is an ap-
peal TO the British nations "to pass
around the hat" for the widows and or
phans Of the Englishmen who are fight
ing the Beers and every now and then
at regular metrical intervals. we sup
pcse-the general public is requested to
"pay, pay, pay" The verses are designed
as patriotic poetry. but they lack that
deep-toned harmony which characterized
the "Recessional," and yet are not sufii-
GENTLY rnelodious TO be classified with his
barrack-room ballads Somehow or other
they impress us as a sort of silk hat and
neglgeo shirt combination--an unhappy
mixture Of the didactic with the frvol-
ous. Even the preachers have to apollo
gize when they ask for such a sordid
thing as money. but Mr.. Kipling persists
in urging his readers to "ante up"
He begins tAe poem in the following
way:
When you've sung God Save the Queen
When you've finished killing Kruger
with your mouth.
VIII you kindly drop a shilling in my lit
tie tambourine
For gentleman In khaki ordered
South?'
While this popular and TO our mind
gifted. poet is warning the British nom
combatants TO quit killing Kruger with
their mouths ne should take care not to
kill himself with his pen. Even the great
est minds are halted when they assume
IA comment on every current event and
10 constitute themselves almanacs with
something wise TO say for every day In
the year. Tommy Atkins" is doubtless
very wholesome, plucky, bull-headed
fellow. but Mr. Kipiing takes occasion in
his poem to hint that he Is not always so
conscientious when defenceless women
are concerned. Verify, some of his aliu-
sions TO the girls and kids" are almost
vulgar. and when not that. they are flip
pant. We would say, "Try again. Mr..
Kipling," but we believe the best advice
10 offer is not TO try again-at least, for
g little while
And II widows and orphans are TO be
considered what about the wives and
children OF the Beers?
A Chicago paper, in commenting on
''The Absent Minded Beggar," says the
EDITOR who paid s.. POO for It, must have
money 10 shovel into the sewer.
