A W0man's Life.

Woman ''in her hours of ease" has
frequent moments of envy for the larg-
er opportunities which come to man.
His life is SO much freer, so much
broader, and appeals to her in par
ticular manner when her own horizon
seems to be somewhat circumscribed.
But woman's activity need not be con.
fined to the home. In a country like
this woman's field is not bounded by
matrimony. They should be SO edu-
Gated that If nccdful they may be en-
abled to earn an honorable livelihood
for themselves, dependent solely on
their own brains and their fingers.
The results of university examinations
show most strikingly that in intellect
ual competition there is perfect equal
ity between the sexes. 1t is her mis-
sion to cherish also the quality Of COM
passion in the human heart and by her
trained skill and intuitive tact to make
the ministratiOns of the community to
the poor and ignorant a blessing and
a joy. But in all her undertakings the
handspring of her deeds and words
must be the fear of God, the love and
reverence of Him, and earnest, deep
and ennobling sense of piety. There is
one thing which the new girlhOod
must never give up-true and genuine
wOmanliness. She must shun as rig
orously as ever before unworthy COM
panionship, unwholcsOme words and
degrading environments. On her lips
They must never be disgraced by
malicious slanler or even idle gossip.

Cost OF Living.

| 1t is an old saying that although
figures never lie, liars often figure,
| says the Irisll-American. One of the
| preliminary efforts of the coming
presidential campaign is government
| document dealing with the cost of liv-
ing and wages. We are supposed to be
basking in the sunshine of an era of
prosperity, and enjoying the fruits and
pleasures thereof. Ordinary people
who find that the cost of the neces-
stiles of life has increased enormous
ly during the last decade, and out Of
all proportion to the advance in wages
during the same period, are asked to
be satisfied with the tables of this re-
port of the department Of commerce
and labor and it's average claiming
that the cost Of living has increased
not over 1G.1per cent. One interesting
fact disclosed by the bulletin is that
while the cost Of living has increased
in the North Atlantic, North Central,
South Atlantic and South Central
States, it has decreased in the Western
States. In 1890, when the average
cost per family in the United States, as
a whole, was $31s.2O, the average cost
per family in the Western division of
states was s322.61. Now, with the
! average. cost in the United States, as a
whole, $344.G1, the average cost in the
Western States is only $322.43 Ac-
cording to the report, in 1890 it cost
more to live in the North Atlantic
States than in any other part of the
country; and that section of the coun-
try still holds it's place as the most ex-
pcnsive in which to live. The North
Central is a close second while the
South Atlantic, South Central and
Western States have an average con-
siderably below that for the United
States as a whole. Another interest
ing bulletin which of course won't be
published. would be that showing how
if the exactions of the tariff-protected
monopolies which the Republican par
ty has fostered and its pet trusts were

abolished how much lower many of

A Priests Dtscoyery.

A German priest named Vincent
Scheil, making excavations in an an
cient Babylonian city, has unearthed
school just as it was 1000 years ago
in the time of King Hammurabi 1t
is a small house of sunburned brick
and stands in the midst Of the most
populous district of the city of Zapur,
just opposite the great temple 1t has
many inscribed bricks, from the cunci-
form inscriptions on which Father
Scheil reconstructed the life of an an
cient Babylonian school. One brick
says: "He who learns to write we'll in
the school will shine as the sun"
There were seven small rooms in the
school, each with its various kinds of
brick. In one room were found bricks
with grammatical exercises. The
scholars evidently sat on the ground
in rows with soft clay bricks in their
hands painfully forming the hard
cuneiform letters. Father Scheil says
the thumb-marks of the teacher are
to be detected where he smudged over
the scholars mistakes. There was
room where advanced scholars learned
TO write the elaborate and highly
poetical forms of adulation often seen
Oh Babylonian monuments. Much i'm
pOrtance WAS attached to learning
weights and measures, to arithmetic
and geometry, but the chief branches
were grammar, writing and the eX-
preston of adulatory forms.

sight of the mines. Now, from one
end Of our ground the mine could be
seen in the distance through the trees,
but we had not assumed that this
ground was included in the injunction
and assumed that the meeting place
prohibited was only Immediately
around the mouth of the mine.
II do not object to injunctions N.Y.
self, SO long as they are not abused.
Trades unfOnfsts should have the same
rights as other men, and they should
not be sent to Jail for technical VIOLA
tions of an injunction without having

what is the most important work
that the Mine Workers now have on
hand?"
"Unquestionably the calling of a
strike throughout the West, including
Colorado, Wyoming, Utah and New
Mexico. We demand there an increase
in pay and reduction Of the hours of
work to correspond with the rates and
time in other states. One of the de-
mands is for the privilege to belong to
an organization without fear of dis
charge.
Wages in the western coal mines
are relatively and actually less than
in Pennsylvania, and the cost of living
is out Of all proportion. There has
been no Increase in the wages paid in
the western section in the last four
or five years, while in the East there
has been an increase all along the
line.
"1n Colorado under the law the
mine operators are supposed to pay
the men in semi-monthly cash pay
ments. This law is evaded or ignored.
The men are paid in what amounts to
scrip-an order on the company,
which they can have cashed at Il dis
count at the company store, or they
can obtain at the store goods for what
purports to be the full value. They
are kept in debt, so that they rarely
see any cash. In Pennsylvania the
old grievance of company stores has
been practically eliminated, as the
men have money and can purchase
where they please"
1.-THE Mine Workers have added to
their membership 10000 or 100000"
continued the leader. "They now con-
troll substantially all the men in the
country except few in parts of Vir-
ginia and West Virginia and some
sections of the far West. The num-
Der enrolled in local unions is about
$4,000, making it the strongest labor
organization in the world. When 1
joined the United Mine Workers the
membership was confined to four
states. When was vice president the
number Of members was 1900 and
when l became president there were
only $4,000.
I'm our strikes we have not called
upon any other organizations to help
US by sympathetic strikes, because we
did not find it necessary. The only
assistance we received came in the
form of contributions. In the big an
thracite strikes we did not even call

Mr.. Moody as a Waiter.

A good story is told on Secretary
Moody while visiting San Juan, in
Porto Rico. While the Dolphin was
IN the harbor of San Juan, she was
visited daily by the natives. One OF
them. feeling thirsty, turned to a man
In white and wearing sort of naval
cap, and said: IN have a drink of
water" The man hurried away with
out word, and soon returned with
the water. which the native drank.
The man in white then took the glass
back to the cabin. While he was gone
an American. who had seen the whole
procedure. said to the native: You
ought to have tipped that fellow" The
native fumbled in his pocket for a
coin. but mildly protested: why
should II" and the American said:
Because that was Mr.. Moody, the
secretary Of the navy" 1t was true,
and when the secretary emerged frcm
the cabin, the natives profuse apollo
gies were made as only one of the
Latin race can make them, while the
secretary. laughing, tried to put the
Porto Rican at his ease.-New York

THE TOMB OF RIcAEllEU.
Last Resting Place Of the Great cardl
nal in the Magnificent Sarbonne.

~ AiS V&Ag'N~Ste ~
Although a stern edict has gone
forth to no longer bottle up the new
wine Of science and letters in the old
receptacles of Richelieu, even official
iconoclasts have spared the familiar
dome which covers the great cardinals
tomb. The new Sarbopne. however
elaborate, would hardly be the Sar-
bonne at all without Richelieu's splen-
did chapel as its heart. Students and
professors no longer have to bow be-
fore the altar, and no Sarbonne doc
tors fill the pulpit; but who SO chooses
can enter, and either find a service
or at least view the beautiful sarcoph-
agus beneath which lies the dust
Of the great Armand Jean du Plessis
himself, in the midst of the institution
he builded anew, lavishing the millions
OF his private fortune thereon, and
even mortsaging the estate of his
heirs. Above the tomb has in recent
years been suspended his carefully
preserved cardinals hat, while the
head itself, savagely severed when
the tomb was violated in 1898, has also
been miraculously recovered and re-
placed on the embalmed remains.
Even the tomb itself was carted away
and kept for many years at the mu-
