Talking recently to scholarly friend
he led us into his sanctum sanctorum
where his work was DONE Growing old
in the service and delight of study, this
has been to him constant and growing
privilege. The manuscript, revised, re-
revised, and revised again, which is the
result of his ripe scholarship, is volumi-
nous, and will appear in book form the
coming year. He remarked to us that
instead of accommodating sum of money
to leave his heirs, it was his intention
to leave the world an idea. That of itself
appeared to us good idea. While often
inherited wealth proves curse instead
of a blessing, an idea may contain the
germs of an uplifting power which will
spread its blessing and benedictions
through the ages. The man with an
idea which he is willing to turn loose, is
a public benefactor; and we shall watch
with eagerness the appearance of the
printed volume to which we have re-
ferred

The trusts have suffered one blow. In
a decision handed down the other day
by the Court of Appeals in Albany, n
y, the Donnelly antitrust law, which
was attacked by the American Ice Com
pany last year, is held to be constitu-
tioDal. A contrary view expressed by
the Appellate Division of the Supreme
Court, is thus overturned. Among other
things, the law which has been sustain
ed declares that every contract, agree
ment or combination whereby monop-
oily is created, is null and void, and that
persons engaged in the same shall be
fined or imprisoned. The case will now
be carried to the Supreme Court of the
United States.

England has long had the reputation
of being country of drunkards. But
Exeter Hall, London, has just witness
ed the formal launching of the greatest
temperance agitation ever undertaken
in Great Britain. The movement is
called the Free Church Million Pledges
Temperance Crusade, and has the Or
ganized support of seventeen non-con-
forming religious bodies of the United
Kingdom. The Rev. Frederick B.
Meyer is the leader of the crusade
forces, and his principal active lieuten-
ant is DR.. j. @. A. Henry, superinten-
dent OF the Anti-Saloon League of New
York. The entire country has been divid-
ed into districts and placed in charge
of organizers of the free churches, the
object being the acquisition of million
total abstinence pledges. OF the move
ment DR.. Henry says:
'The most powerful preachers and the
greatest Christian laymen in the king
dom have dedicated themselves to this
holy war against alcohol. Addresses
will be given in the chief cities and
every town and hamlet of the islands
during the next two months. The need
of the movement is imperative. Mr.
Chamberlain, when Mayor of Birming
ham, said that England must conquer

AN Stuffed Up

That's the condition Of many sufferers
from catarrh, especially in the morning.
Great difficulty is experienced in clear
ing the head and throat.
No wonder catarrh causes headache,
impairs the taste, smell and hearing,
pollutes the breath, deranges the stom-
ach and affects the appetite.
To cure catarrh, treatment must be
constitutional-alte and tonic.
Il was afflicted with catarrh. I took
medicines OF different kinds, giving each
fair trial; but gradually grew worse until
could hardly hear, taste or smell. then
concluded to try Hoods Sarsaparilla, and
after taking five bottles 1 was cured and

OCCUPATIONS BY WOMEN.

An article in, an exchange exhausts
itself and its readers on the need of
finding new spheres Of employment for
women. The spheres" are already suf-
ficiently numerous, more SO to-day than
those open to men, as careful consid-
Grafton would convince any candid
mind But how would it do for women
to learn to cook and the art of house
keeping? How many girls, eighteen
years of age, know how to make decent
bread, or even to boil eggs properly?
The government is slow in it's publ
cation office, but when we get the CEN
sus returns of 1900, showing the numbers
of women engaged in the different pro-
fessions and trades, they will probably
be surprise to all of us, and especially
to those who are clamoring most loudly
for what they term 'women's rights"
In 1890 returns showed that in the
entire list of gainful pursuits and occu-
pations there was not one in which
women were not then employed. Ex-
cepting the army and navy, they are in
all the professions. They are large
majority of our musicians and musical
teachers, of our public and private
school teachers, of our professional
nurses and of our stenographers. One
doctor in every twenty-five is woman.
One pulpit in every eighty eight is occu-
pied by woman. One college profess
sors chair in every eight is likewise
filled. One journalist in every twenty
one is woman. One-sixth of all our
telegraph and telephone operators, one
tenth of all our clerks, and one-fifth of
all our retail store employees are all
women.
And, God be praised, all our mothers,
and the shapers of the destinies of our
homes, are women.

The Little Church Back Home.

When the big pipe organs swellin' an the
city choir sings.
An you almos' hear the swishin' of the
iovin angels wings
An the congregations musin' on the
proneness for TO sin.
Sort o leanin' listless, waitin' for the
preacher to begin;
In that holy hush it happens that l clean
forget the place.
An again I'm meek an lowly fore throne
o savin' grace:
A throne that wasn't nestlin' meath spire
or dome.
But the sinners sought their Savior in that
little church back home.
When we had protracted meetin's why
twould done you good to hear
The congregation singin with a blend O.
voices clear.
How the Rock O. Ages" lowered like a
sheltrin sort o wall
An our souls scared up to glory since the
Rock was cleft for all.
Ev'ry face was wreathed with sweetness.
an we always had a smile
For the stranger. saint or sinner in the
pew across the aisle
For diamonds often gathered from the
commonest Of loan.
An we didn't mind the settin' in the
little church back home.
There were weddins where the neishbors
gathered in from far an wide
An the boys looked on in envy while their
sisters kissed the bride
There were tun'rals, too. where neighbors
didn't feel ashamed to cry
When they laid to rest the sleeper in the
little yard close by.
Each pew seem5 sort o sacred. an the
lowly pulpit there
Pears like holy gateway to a armament
that's fair;
Where the sweet. supernal sunshine softly
scatters sorrows gloam
An lets us enter heaven from the little
church back home
The city choirs voices rise in cadence so
sweet
AS they sing about the river where the
sainted ones shall meet.
An the preachers voice is pleadin as he
asks us. soft an low.
To treat all men as brothers in this weary
vale Of woe.
This city church is handsome an the
congregations large.
The preacher doin' nobly with his heaven
seekin' charge.
The choirs swellin' anthems soar to heaven
through the dome.
But my old heart Is sighin for the little
church back home.
