women's clubs.
Mr.. Moody does know says Belva Lock
wood. that these womdn's clubs are to an
extent depicting the prayer meetings and the
class meetings, as well as his many week
day meetings. and he should have noticed
long ago that the Epworth league and
Christian Endeayor. the largest and strongest
mixed clubs in the country. sapping up
the very life of the churches. because the
churches themselves have lacked the elements
of progression. and have endeavored to force
obedience to stereotyped forms and antiquated
creeds that lacking in the very essence
of religion The women have found that good
works as well prayers are necessary to
feed the hungry and clothe the naked, to re-
!, form the laws and encourage morality. with
out denying the efficacy<of the former. With

must have forgotten himself when he as

Feminine Fencers Known In the

Feminine Fencers Known In the

In view of the fact that women have taken
to fencing a recreation and profession.
Col G. W. Willocks short sketch of feminine
feneers, in the New Illustrated Magazine, is
both timely and interesting Among other
things he says:
Two well-known pictures by Rayard, en-
titled "Une affaire q honneur' and La Re-

During the sixteenth century such hostile
meetings actually did take place at the French
court, where it quite fashionable for
women to be past masters in the art of fenc-
ing, and where, no doubt insults offered
to sighted beauty frequently did inspire
heavenly minds with such resentment, and
were not seldom the cause of these affairs
of honour.
A story is told of the famous and beautiful
Mon d'Enclos. who, stung by the spretae
injuria formae, donned manly attire and pub
licly slapped the face of young noble who
had affronted her. There was not the slight
est suspicion that this most deadly insult had

THE REV. M00DYS PLIGHT.
Attacked by the CIubwOmen Who
Resent His Denunciation Of Their
Organizations.

That the Rev. Dwight l.. Moody is a brave
man enc doubts, for he has never f,rched
moment in his lifelong battle with the
devil and all his agents, but that lie fully
appreciated his peril when he rutalessly at
tackled wcmen's clubs we question very much
1t was but short time ago that he said in
Denver: "A woman s place is at home and
she cannot be at the club and ~ home at
the same time, and almost il the same
breath: Il don't know anything about these
women's clubs-I do not even Know what
they claim to he doing but they are clubs
and they demand a large portion of me time
OF women and that is enough to condemn
them"
One might call this remark somewhat ig-
nerant and bigoted, but no one would con-
slider it especially vtriolc. Yet three pages
CT protests in the Denver Times and twenty
nine single column pictures of prominent
club women of the country appear as a DOW
erful antidote for the poison injected into
the ears of the public through Mr.. M,ardy,s
words
Says Mrs. Westover Alden, editor Of the
womans department OF the New York Trib
une:
l am not surprised that Mr.. Moody disan-
proves OF women's clubs. He has the shirt

a relic of idolatry the ''Kreutzer" sonata is
what it was to Tolstoi, the ''Son of Solomon,
soulless parable; Fielding, corruption in
carnate; Byron, an abomination. and shake
speare mass of demoralizing frivolity. Mr..
Moody has the energy, the power of a steam
locomotive. He moves along a fixed track to
a given point. 1t would be as absurd for him
to daily with literature OF the fine arts as FOR
the locomotive to stop to admire wild roses
by the roadside, attempt to wander from
the rallied track to gather trailing arbutus.
Now the ignorance and narrowness of moth
ers has done more to retard the physical and
mental development of the human race than
any other influence, and the ignorance and
narrowness of mothers has sprung naturally
from the isolation of the home In the
womans club mother compares her ideas
with those of other women, on diet, hygiene
. family discipline and practical education. That
makes her better mother. She learns to
distinguish between real art, and the tawdri-
ness of imitation between good music and
musical clap-trap, between good literature
and bad literature. These distinctions she
will make clear to her children as they grow
older.

Minnesota Federation, sends the following

PASSING OF SONG BIRDS.
Importation Resorted to In Order to
RepIenish the Woods With Song


Our native song birds. says. the Household,
have been so hunted and destroyed, that many
varieties becoming rare in our woods
ana parks, few being even threatened with
extinction
The protective measures. while working for
good, have not resulted in any material In
crease of numbers, and the question of multi
plying the number by artificial means has
come up.
There has been movement started among
the bird societies to restoek the woods with
imported birds. There has always been a
large importing trade Of birds calculated for
cage life. and in Europe song birds, such as
canaries, bulfnches nightingales and linnets,
have been raised on a large scale for this
purpose.
on foot to determine whether birds of these
varieties, but semi-wild, could not be i'm
ported to be turned loose and multiply In
our forests
song-birds were procured from Germany, and
after being kept in cages, until they had
rested few days, were set free in the woods
The result was closely watched by bird
lovers all over the United States. and the
following summer the birds were not only
found in the woods and fields but many were
building nests; before another winter they
had doubled their number.
The most interesting thing about the birds
was their migration. During the cold months
they were reported in Mexico and even Gem
trail America, but when spring came they
travelled back, not stopping on their way
to breed until they reached Oregon. They
then built their nests not for from the place
where they were originally set free.
The skylarks, WOODLANDS, linnets and
thrushes withstood all the righoors of the
climate for better than the nightingales
This great number of birds did not mean
an immense expenditure, as they not
so expensive as the cage variety being semi
wild. trapped for importing, and shipped i'm
mediately.

THE STORM.

From the Icelandic of Mr. Hannes IIafstein.
y! storm, l adore thee when over the ground
y GU gladly rush through all the leaves with
a bound;
The gray rotten brambles you bend before
breaking,
The birches you trust as you rush through
them shaking.
You scrape off the snowdrifts from hollow and
hill.
You whisk the dark sky from the sun at
your will.
You brighten the spark to great blazing
fires,
And outline the landscape with glittering
tires.
You bulge out the sail that bears forth the
ship,
Bracing and fresh round the world make a
trip;
The stagnant malaria away with you taking
The life giving work to activity waking.
And when you victorius run over the world,
feel as If strength iIhme grew and injured ;
Fer I love the power that raises the billow
| love thee, adore thee, thou eternal strife,
My blood effervescing with odes to the rife
You unfettered air-sailor while onward speed
ing,
My mind boldly follows thy track swift and
feeting.
