If that Baptist Association
in Indiana really desires to
benefit the negroes of the
south it can invite them to
the north and help the south
to educate them. The white
people of this section are
taxing themselves to furnish
the negro the means to edu-
cuate his children. They
are doing it ungrudgingly
and criticism from other Sec
tions comes with poor grace.
1t would be a serious draw
back to the colored race if
the white taxpayers of the
south should enforce a law
STIMULATING that taxes paid
by white citizens should be
used exclusively in educating
white children. Attempts
have been made to enact such
a law in some of the southern
states, but the press and
board, liberal minded citizens
have discountenanced the eff.
fort. We shall continue to
support the present system,
but our kindness to the ne.
gro should be recognized by
our northern neighbors. -

Women Workers in England.

The prevalent idea has been for some
time that the typical English woman
is. above all things, domestic. and 1t
has been mentioned that the pushing.
bustling, fin de steele American girl
might profitably study the shrinking,
clinging femininity of her English
cousins The American woman has al
so proudly claimed that she was the
pioneer in women's occupations and
that there are more trades and profes
sons open to women in America than
anywhere else on the globe.
A book just published in England
upon perusal, will soon take this con.
ceit out of her Among the numerous
occupations may be noted the follow
ing:
Feminine architects, farmers, plum
bers and gardeners. Women divers, cal
drivers, pilots and letter-carriers fig
ure conspicuously. There was n time
when n thirty mile tramp would have
terrified any woman not bred in Eng
land. but the present rage for golting
has altered all that. and we may sooI
see American girls valiantly earning
their living as letter-carriers. having
received their training on the goli

Hints for the Economical wearer of Xxi,
Gloves to Profit by.
Economy in all things is often over

which a large number of ladies trea

and perhaps the following hints ma.
serve to show how the reasonable carr
of kid gloves would result in reduc
ton of expenditures
In the first place, it may be pointet
out that rough handling is special!
disastrous to kid gloves, and it yer,
often happens that new pair is spill
and ruined by jerking them on in {;
careless fashion. Always put on /
new pair of Eid gloves for the frs
time long enough before they are TO b.
worn to allow in due deliberation il
the task When a pair of fine glove
are bought the purchaser should inSiS
that they be fitted on in the shop
then if there are any flaws they will b,
detected before the goves are paid fo
and taken away.
In putting on Il glove be careful t.,
get each finger straight. Coax eacl
one on by rubbing gently with tn,
thumb and first finger until the finger
are down to the very ends.
In taking the gloves off turn th,
wrist over the fingers and take hold o
the ends of the fingers through thu
wrist. 1t wears IA glove out badly tt
pull it off by catching hold of th,
finger tips. Pull the glove into shap,
and lay aside carefully. Silk shoulC

gloves should be mended as soon as /
break appears, for the old proverb ~

appropriate to these articles of attire
Glove mending is delicate work, which
requires both skill and deXterity, anC
when well done pays admirably for the
