FAITH ERLY.

Perhaps the CZar of Russia hasn't heard just what some of the Russian students think he ought to do, or if he has he isn't yet ready to do it. He has addressed long rescript to his Ministry of Education with regard to the general principles upon which a reform of the intermediate and higher education ought to be conducted. In referring to the recent disturbances among the students, he says: My fatherly heart has been comforted to learn that a considerable majority of the students towards the end of the present academic year themselves rec ognized what their duty was and re- turned to the orderly pursuit of their studies. hope and believe that during the summer holidays the students will take tranquil counsel with their own consciences and, following the advice of their parents and friends, will hearken to my voice calling upon them and all my. faithful subjects to return to their work and to obey the law. For the sake of the nation intrusted to my care, an end must be put to the dis orders, which are a disgrace to science and to the universities, once the just pride of Russia, and which cause the ruin of so many young lives, dear to the fatherland and to me.
 This doesn't give much encourage ment to the student revolutionists. If they don't walk straight the fatherly heart of the Czar will move him to pun- ish them, even if it hurts him worse than it does them.

SUFFERING SOUTHEIN CHILDREN.

It is estimated that there are more than twenty-two thousand children un- der fourteen years old at work in the cotton mills of the southern States. At least eight thousand of these children are under twelve, while the lower ex- treme of the age limit is down even to the point of six years, the fact being we'll established that children as young as six to eight and nine years are to- day working in some of the southern mills.
 What can be done about it? Not much yet. The attempts which have been made to induce the legislatures of some of the southern States to properly protect the health of these helpless per- sons have been met by the statements of the manufacturers that it would be bad policy for the legislatures to at tempt to interfere with the development of a growing industry; that the South wants to establish manufacturins plants, and if this wish is to be realized it must give to those in charge of these establishments free hand to do what they consider best for the we'll

neighbor. One of the most noticeable characteristics of the former is the love of exercise which she has recently ac- quired, and in which she can now with impunity indulge. Tn Spain, on the other hand, not only do women take lit- tie or no exercise, but they have a strong aversion to taking it. Spanish girls are never, in their childhood, taught to appreciate open-air life, and they have no opportunity of acquiring the taste later on. An endeavOr was made short time ago to introduce bi- cycling into Madrid as a feminine amusement, but the attempt was a failure, owing to the obstructive atti- tude of both sexes. The new idea was only taken up by few votaries of for eigh fashion,
 One result of the position of the Span ish woman is the easy solution it offers of "conjugai problems. The explana- tion of this fact is to be found in CO., rollary to the following general propo- sition offered by the author: ''One of the most essential conditions of conju- gal happiness is that the views of the contracting parties as. to their respec- tive spheres of action should be in per feet harmony. In Spain there is never any question of what a woman can or can not do or think. She is a domestic slave, but she is perfectly contented one, and no more devoted wives and mothers are to be found than in that country.

PooR WEATRER FOR CORN.


 Everybody has enjoyed the uncom- monly cool summer weather we have had, but has there not been somewhat of selfishness in such enjoyment? While human beings have had an al most continuous performance of de- light, corn has been languishing. At this time and before this time last year corn was waving Annie dear and flour ishing like the green bay horse spoken of in the Scriptures. Now it is doubt full and uncertain. It doesn't know whether to continue to face frowning world or give up a discouraging strug- gle. Its situation is pitiable and calls for the sympathy of those who like Johnny-cake, or corn whisky. Those who are buying corn at ninety cents in Chicago to cover their "shorts" can also sympathize with the slow growth of corn. They are wishing that it would grow as fast as the price is growing.
 During the last day or two there have been slight indications of better weather for corn. If it should come and con- tinue we hope that thoughtless and sell fish human beings will not bewail their sweaty lot without giving a kindly thought to the lots where the pleased corn will be laughing and dancing in the sunlight, glad of chance to do its appointed work as the friend of man.

being of their industries. This argu- ment seems to have proved more potent in its effect on the legislatures than the protests of those who believe that un- protected human beings have some rights which the community is bound to respect.
 It took a long time and much talk and work to get the little children out of New England cotton mills. It will take time and talk and work to get them out of the southern cotton mills. But they will be got out. even though the mills are not as profitable as they would be if they could be kept in.

WOMAN's POSITION IN SPAIN.
Little Better Than Domestic Slave,
 But Satisfied With Her Lot.

Little Better Than a Domestic Slave, But Satisfied With Her Lot.
 Woman in Spain has had no part in
 the emancipation of the sex that has
 | taken place in most European countries
 in the last century, says writer in the | Fortnightly Review: "As a factor in social life she stands entirely in the | background; man has the predominant | influence, and the position of woman is an entirely subordinate one. To the foreigner the first sign of this is visible | in the absence of that easy and honely spirit of hospitality prevalent in other countries, and which owes so much of 1 it's character to female influence. In 1 this matter the ideas of the Spaniard retain flavor of Orientalism which the progress of time and the general ad- vance of civilization around him have l been unable to dissipate. He possesses what we should call most limited views as to the sphere in which woman 1 should move. He thinks that a good wife should have no interests which | may distract her from the duties of her household, and hence these duties-the chief among them being the care and bringing up of children-form the chief occupation of the Spanish lady.
 Any unusual development of intel | lect in a woman is held by public opin- | ion to be unfeminine, and the propor- \ tion of intellectual women in Spain is | remarkably small. The majority of 1 Spanish girls are quite uncultivated, in 1 our modern sense of the word, except as regards hand embroidery, music and dancing, for which the race has consid- erable aptitude. Half a century ago | the orthography of a large percentage of Well-born Spanish ladies would not have come up to the standard of one of | our elementary school boards The ed- ucation of Spanish women has indeed improved during the last thirty years, owing chiefly to greater facilities for | travel and certain Altering through of foreign habits of life. But this has only taken place within the recognized lines of communication over the country. Physical training plays as small a part ! in the education of Spanish women as does intellectual culture. In this, too, I there is wide distance separating the Anglo-Saxon woman from her southern

ENCOURAGING,

This isn't such heartless old world after alL Andrew Carnegie is making strenuous efforts to avoid the disgrace of dying rich. John N. Burke has just given s4,OOO,O0O to help the sick and de- serving poor, and now it is announced that Abraham Simmer of Waverly, Iowa. is going to give away his fortune of s1O,00O.OOO. My possessions are a trust fund" he says. T accumulate them from the masses and back to the masses they shall go.'
 It is interesting to think what may happen if benevolence and be- neficence continue to grow in rich human beings at the rate they have been growing. Perhaps their good will and their good deeds will solve many of the problems that have been and are pressing. At any rate it is en- couraging to see what rich and power full people are trying to do for their needy brothers and sisters in the way of education, hospitals and other helps. Herbert Spencer thinks that evolution will ultimately bring an altruistic state of society. The progress in that direc- tion just now is rapid in spite of the fraud and piracy that are still carried on even in so-called civilized lands.

The sum of $45,00O is in the hands of Secretary Shaw, waiting the claims of the doctors who attended the late Pres- ident Mckinley at Buffalo, and of the persons who had charge of the funeral ceremonies. This money was provided by a special appropriation that was passed during the last days of congress
 and the Secretary of the Treasury was charged with the duty of disbursing it.
 So far no claims have been filed, and none of the doctors has submitted a bill
 A time limit of two months is placed on the appropriation, and if the claims are not all in within sixty days the money is to go back into the treasury

The report submitted to the Ameri- can Library Association showing that while there have been a greater number of individual gifts to libraries this year the average amount, as well as the grand total, is below last year, is some- what astonishing at first glance. Prob abIythe popular misapprehension on the subject arises from failure to distin- guish between libraries and library buildings. While the gifts to the for mer aggregated s3,O75,247, the money given for library buildings amounted to no less than $S,312,55O, of which amount MT. Carnegie gave more than three- quarters. It may reasonably be doubt ed if the years gifts for library build- ings have ever been exceeded in amount within the same space Of time.
