THE MINISTER'S WIFE's DUTIES.
She Should Decide Uer shnre, and Not be
Tytannized Over
(Ladies, Home Journal.)

Every minister's wife is deeply in
terested in the work of the church,
but no one should attempt to decide
for her how much Of that work is
her share. The undue binding of
burdens upon shoulders wearied with
much willing service has caused
some of us to raise onr voices in pro-
tost, if not for ourselves, for tho
overtaxed bodies and brains of our
less fortunately situated sisters. Let
a clergyman's wife decide not to be
tyrannized over by circumstances.
She, more than many, needs to think
out her life with care, and como to
definite conclusions by which she is
willing to abide. No regulations con
be laid down for all alike, for wo.
man must bo herself the Judge of hor
abilities. Lot her SEQ to it, however,
that she remains uninfluencod by
those who would seek to ditcct her.
1t may be laid down as part of tho
remedy that no minister's wife should
be at the head Of more than ono or
ganization, and if her homo cares
are many sho should not attempt
even that. If she desires to take a
class in Sunday school sbo need not
DO given tho worst class of boys, nor
tho most difficult class Of little chill
dren.

(Ladies' Home Journal.O J


There was a story many times
told, but entirely without foundation,
to the effect that an English Iectu-
rercr once informed his hearers that
the men in America wero smaller in
size than Englishmcn, and asked any
Americans who might be present to
rise in confirmation Of his statement,
whereupon Bishop Brooks and two
other Ameicans of equalling impos
ing stature rose in different parts Of
the hall. This story had no founda.
ton, but it is true that Doctor
Brooks was once travelling in tho
south Of France with another Bishop
of the Episcopal Church somewhat
surprising Doctor Brooks himself in
size and another man equally large.
The three mon went one after an
other to the proprietor Of a little
bathing establishment, and with
serious faces asked to be fitted to
bathing suits. The surprise of tho
proprietor by the time the third gi-
gantlo man appeard can readily be
imagined.

Filming TIE PRICE,

Tho association being in possess
sion Of the facts, and knowing tho
amount Of cotton to bo produced,
based upon tho best and most roliu-
bic set Of statistics over obtained
from any source, will bo in position
to fix fair prico for the raw mate
rial delivered at tho ports. Boforo
fixing the price, however, we propose
to find ont tho truo amount Of Amer
icnn cotton required for consumption
in II months, and tho price for
which tho finished fabrics is offorcd
for salo. With correct knowledge
of tho amount of cotton to be hur.
vested, tho number Of bales required
for consumption by tho mills, and
the prico Of cotton goods, it will be
an easy matter to determine fair
plico for tho raw material.

OBTAINING THE PRICE.

In order to forco tho payment of
tho inst price by the buyers of our
cotton, it Will DO necessary to furnish
tho supply commensurate with the
demand. This can be dono only bv
marketing tho crop through Il longer
period Of time, and furnishing our
splnncrs with stock rs needed. Here
Is where we seek tho cooperation of
our bankers. Cotton, properly ware
housed and injured, is rs good secn-
rlty as Il government bond, and is so
recognized by our banks. A farmer
can store Il portion Of his crop in
warehouses;, using warehouse receipts
for collateral security with which to
borrow needed funds to meet matur.
ing obligations thousands of indo.
pendent farmers can hold their crops
nt home. This will give strong
hoalthy market to those who aro
compelled to sell, and they will be
corrrspondingIy benefited.

unit in favor Of the moyoment
They wonld prefer to pay higher
price FOR cation and obt ain thoir snn-
plies rs needed than to bo forced to
buy Il IL months supply in so DAYS
at low prices. They aro forced into
tho market as spectators and arc
compelled to uso al their capita]
stock and borrow money bosidce
with which to buy cotton for which
they have absolutely no mood, and

They must have a big margin in or.
der to moot any adverse fluctuations
Of the cotton goods market so manv
months ahead. We might rs well
take n business Wow Of tho situation
in forcing people to buy our cotton
when they do not want it, we mus,
accept tho penalty which the pur
chaser attaches to tho sale, that is, {
price far below its true value.
