: C 7. u PRINCIPLES.
Woman's Education.

We believe that every woman
as every man-has full right to
largest opportunities and to high
est privileges of education, and
likewise, full right to fill any
position and perform any duty
that pleases her and of which she
is capable. Nevertheless, we
quite agree with President Eliot of
Harvard that a part of every wo-
mans education should consist of
knowledge that shall fit her to
train children, or, in other words,
to be a true wife and mother;
since the privileges and duties of
such a position are likely to be
the heritage OF most women.
Moreover, we have such an old
fashioned reverence for mother
hood that we believe it to be the
crown of a woman's life, however
many other honors she may wear,
and however regally. This, too,
in spite of the fact that woman's
sharpest pain and disappoint-
ment often comes through heI
children. We believe that the
possibility Of such pains and dis
appointment will be lessened
when women are taught what
they should know of childhood
and motherhood. For we believe,
with President Eliot, that the
training of children is not inferior
work. but the most intellectual
occupation in the world, and that
sit calls always for great moral
and carefully trained mental
powers" Alas for the race, that
it has so often called for these in
vain!-Union Signal.

An Autumn Drive.

1t is glorious to drive through
the autumn woods when the earth
is carpeted with the crimson and
gold of the fallen leaves. Two
gentlemen commercial travellers
were driving through the coun-
try after the National Convention.
They were congenial and had
many very pleasant trips together,
and when a long drive was before
them they carried a lunch which
they ate at some wayside spring.
One was a total abstinence man;
the other always carried a flask,
from which he drank occasionally.
The morning passed in pleasant
conversation, as they bowled over
hill and dale, the total abstinence
man driving. They halted in a
thickly wooded spot, gorgeous
with autumn foliage, near a spring
to eat-a familiar spot which they
had often frequented. The lunch
was spread and they ate with APP
petites, which belong only to pick
nickers. The total abstinence man
noted that no flask was brought
out. They finished their lunch
and the horse his corn, slaked
their thirst at the crystal spring,
the horse drinking in the stream
below the fountain, and were soon
again on the road. When they
had fairly started, the total absti-
nence man said: "You did not
have your flask with you to-day,
Frank?"
"No," was the reply, ''and I
never will. I've thrown it away
for good and ALL"
"Why, how's that? I'm glad to
hear it,"
swell I'll tell you, Jim. You
see | went to the auditorium one
night during the great convention
of women in Nashville, and heard
the Georgia lady speak"

eyes, and what she said came
straight home to NE. I've quit,
and with the Lords help I'll stay
quit. I've got two boys growing
up you know" and his voice quiv;
cred a little, while he looked away
with misty eyes through the gor-
geous autumn a%isles, "and that
little woman's speech convinced
me that it's wicked to touch it.
I'm done, JIM"
Jim made no reply but his ST.
lence was more eloquent than
words, as they swept along
through the glorious autumn
woods.-Selected.
