DR.. Huntington, rector Of Grace
church New York, delivered an ad.
dress to the New England society of
New York on the influence of women
and the demoralizing effects Of bridge
whist which is PLAYED at private
houses for stakes. OF women he said:
Il draw my illustrations from the
lives Of women because they are the
custodians of mems morals. Ien are
what the women make them. The
more men desert the church for the
clubs, the more woman as the arbiter
of morals becomes accentuated. In
the life Of the Puritan. the matron
and the maiden stood out spotless.
The spirit Of discipline made them
what they were. We must have that
back il We would have life."
1t is strictly professional and min.
isterial pointof view that men are what
women make them. Women respond
quite as readily to the influence of
men. But from time immemOrial the
pulpit. like Adam. has charged woman
with beginning whatever wickedness
was most Objectionable in the hour
when the sermon was written. There
are only few women preachers and
only here and there few newspaper
women to refute the charges. So the
accusation has become an indict-

The German Kaiser understands
the art of dress and the influence it
has upon others. He gets himself up
in the robes Of royalty oftener than
the other kings. He rides out sur

the public by state which fairy lore
has bred in us an appetite for. A
man In sack coat and a derby hat,
undecorated, inspires no particular

considering the twentieth century
uncertainty in regard to the perma-
nency of their jobs. in not oftener
dressing for the part. The people do
not get 70 very much for their money
aud their royal employees should be
willing to occasionally wear a crown
aud an ermine-lined gown and assume
an air of hauteur strong enough to
satisfy the cockneys that they are
looking at real king. King Edward
VII. rode to his first parliament in
regular Barnum coach, immense. and
gIlded with real gOld-leaf where he
sat folded in an ermine robe in
glittering solitude that nearly drove
London wild with delight. Among

and ears. that compose the faces OF
the mOnotonous multitudes we have
seen ever since we were born, there is
not enough difference to quench the
longing for variety and romance that
fills every wistful human breast. A
new king, with fabulous crown con-
tanning jewels, for which the world
has nc match. should give his subjects,
more than half seduced by the prom
ises of democracy. sight Of a real
king, in a priceless crown. riding in a
gold coach drawn by horses caparisOn-
ed in cloth of gold, and decorated in
gold-mounted harnesses. GorgeOusness
such as this is worth the price to the
populace and though the simple
hearted, unaffected King Edward the
VII. may be averse to making show
OF himself. an occasional exhibition OF
pageantry is essentially gratifying to
all people.

A Summer School.

Superintendent Gordon of the city
schools proposes to establish sum.
mer school. The outlines of his plan
are printed on another page. In Chi.
cago and New York such schools have
been conducted by private subscrip-
ton. 1t is proposed here to charge
tuition of six dollars for the two
months. A fund might be raised by
subscription to pay the tuition Of
pupils whose parents are unable to
pay it. Everyone should read what
superintendent Gordon has to say
about the summer school. Prolonged
idleness, especially the idleness Of a
child, who has no richly stored mind
to stimulate him. is demoralizing.
Botanical excursions, manual-labor
lessons. language lessons and retreat
into paths already trodden but not
sufficiently explored. will solve the
problem, Of what to do with the boys
and girls in the summer time.

difficult to amateur kidnapers.

A Visit to the Country

rice farm WAS enjoyed Sunday al
ternoon by Prof. T. 2. Barbour,
j. b. Butler, Esq, and the Ed
itor, with Il. K Goodrich. Esq. /,
who invited them to drive with
him. They found that Mr.. Ratcliff
has everything on the farm IN APP
pie pie order, just ready to plant
His farm is about six miles from
town, aud he has cleared and laid
off abOut two hundred acres of his
land for rice. 1t is all leveIed and
ditched, and his machinery is in
readiness TO flood it with water at
the proper time. He will soon have
it served and then will only have
to await developments. This was
all raw land, covered mostly with
brush, so that Mr.. Ratcliff has ac-
compIished great work in prepar-
ing it for his rice experiment.
On the way, a visit was paid to
E. H. Goodrich's farm in the same
vicinity. This is one of the pref
test farms in the county, being al
most entirely surrounded by deep
resaca which never goes dry. Mr..
Goodrich has machinery for irri-
eating, and will in time have
very fine farm. He already has a
great many bananas that are bear
ing this year.
A visit was also paid to j. V.
Adams irrigated farm, mention of
which was made recently in The
HERALD. This IS one of the most
productive truck farms in the coun-
ty, and it presents a most flourish
ing 'ahd inviting appearance,
speaking well for the industry of
its owner, who combines intelligent
of modern agricultural
methods with active work, giving.I
personal attention to his crops. He
gives a practical demonstration of
the property which industry, ener-
" and intelligence may derive
from this rich, alluvial soil.
