should ruin it, and, privately, we DO
not believe that that is the case. The
funniest of these arguments Is per
haps that homework takes a woman's
thoughts from higher things. For
heavens sake, what are the lofty
thoughts which the average wife of an
average man would give to the world,
and which she cannot entertain while
washing the dishes? Is it not time to
admit that the majority of people are
rot suited to produce works of genius,
and that the woman Is just as profita
bly, and suitably employed in sweep
ing a floor as her husband Is In keep
ing books, tending a telegraph wire,
or selling goods? If a woman has
higher capabilities with which house
work interferes, she viii probably be
able to convince the world of that fact
without legislation on the subject, but
most women have not.
1t may be that homework brings IN
no remuneration, but let us see. The
average servant costs her employer at
least $50 a year in cash, besides her
board. One hundred and fifty dollars
q year is worth saving, certainly,
when the family income is not more
than 81 800. Of course, if the house
wife can earn $3.50 a year at anything
else, the case is different, but the fact
is plain that the immense majority of
women cannot, without negleeting
their homes. earn that sum half as
easily in any ether way as they could
earn it in household work if they
knew how to do that work scientif-
cally.
The last srgument-that house
keeping shows 10 results to which
woman can point with pride-is pitt
full, pathetic, tragic 1t may be that
III some homes there are such results
homes in which the housekeeping is
siovenly, the family ill-bred, the worh
all done under compulsion, without
pleasure or skill. But what about the
home which is remembered by son or
daughter IN after years as the one lit
tie spot of peace and comfort in
which mother" reigned, the home
which Is pervaded by a nameless
spirit Of cheeriness, optimism, and
thoughtful care, the home IN which
children learn the rudiments of bet
ter industrial training than they ever
get IN the schools, and better moral
training than the Sunday school car
give? That Is the kind Of result tc
which any human being ought q
point with pride, and it Is not toe
much to say that the right kind Of
woman can make that sort of home on
any income big enough to support
life. If woman can no longer point
with pride to creations of this kind
their pride needs to be fumigated. o,

were carried on There is a theory,
which has much reason IN it, that the
years of which the Bible makes no
mention we're spent in India, IN study
among the priests of that land, and
that in this way the striking differ
ence of the religion taught by Jesus
from the sterner Mosaic law may be
accounted for.
Those who hold this theory poinr
cut the extraordinary resemblance of
the gospels TO the purer forms of the
Hindu religion, and call attention to
the well-known fact. that Oriental
thinkers of a religious turn of mind
commonly did travel on foot, as beg
CARS from one place TO another, talk
ing with the wise men to be found
there. 1t may be that Jesus went to
India, and it may be that he studied
and meditated among the thinkers of
bis own country, but there is no way
Of knowing exactly what he did ex-
cept by inference from the general
customs of the time Certain it Is
that life was less complicated then
than now, and that, in Oriental eoun-
tries, it was comparatively easy for a
religious student or teacher to live
without working at trade.

Bureau of Statistics.

When a gentleman from anoth-
err section of country happens in
some roundabout way TO hear Of
Mississippi. he at once begins to
look about for Information con
corning her natural resources
and present development. He
looks through half-a-dozen geog-
raphies, two or three aliases. and
one or more encyclopedias, but
the most he can learn is that we
raise lots Of cotton down here
and that the greater part OF our
population is composed OF ne
groes. He then writes our gov
eruor or some other officer OF the
state to please send him some lit
e%raturc about our state, but his
reply is not at all satisfactory.
Why is such the case: Because
Mississippi has no Bureau OF
Statistics and IMMIGRATION.
