AT THE BIENNIAL.

The diversity cf subjects to be dis
cussed at the Biennial at Boston next
month is exemplified in the program
for June 80, when there will be a
discussion of club problem which
offers one of the greatest difficulties
to the average club woman. The
subject has been divided into four
sections, Justice in Journalism, !"
"The Sunday Supplement" "The
Personal Appeal" "The Telephone
Interview" In addition to this sub
ject there will be considered under
the general head of Social Ameni-
ties the question of ethics, such as
wedding Gifts christmas Gifts"
and Perverted Hospitality"
After these sessions there will be
an experience meeting to record the
efforts of the club women who have
been active in legislative work. Re-
personalities of each state will give
en- account of their success or failure
in dealing with their state legisla-
ture in securing the passage of laws
which club women have advocated.
Sessions for the consideration Of
such practical subjects promise to be
very popular, and many club women
who cannot find time for the whole
of the convention have selected these
dates for attendance, in order to get
the views of club women from all
sections of the country.
Tuesday. June %, one Of the most
important meetings Of the General
Federation of Woman's clubs will
open at $50 a. m. This will be the
council of presidents, held at Chick
ering hall; the following topics are to
be considered; DUTY Of the General
Federation toward Other National
Organizations" Delegates and Their
Duties" Transfer Of Memberships"
Business Obligations of Clubs" and

ing phrenology after she left.
In 1872 she attended a convention
of women suffragists in Chicago, and
came in touch with the work and
thought of such women as Lucretia
Mott, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Susan
B. Anthony and Francis Willard.
While there she was the guest OF her
favorite brother who had fine IL
brary and was a great student in the
simple things of nature. In con-
sequence of that very pleasant and
profitable visit to Chicago, she al
ways retained a very esimable opin-
ion of Chicago and Chicagoans.
Politically, she was Wing, and
Abolitionist and a BLACK Republi-
can" and when her boys expressed
sympathy for the Democratic poll
cies in the campaigns of 1889, and
'93, she reminded them Of what she
had seen the Democrats do to the
country in the long ago and assured
them they would be mighty sorry If
they helped elect Democratic Ma
tional ticket. She worked incessant-
ly for equal suffrage in Idaho, and
was so tired of the struggle that she
scarcely ever voted since. One thing
she deplored was that young ladies
who ridiculed the equal suffrage
movement were among the first to
ask for office after they became
eligible to vote and hold office.
When Grant was elected president
she was exceedingly disguised, and
never quite forgave the Republi-
cans for acting on the presumption
that a good fighter was necessarily
a good statesman She is person
of strong prejudice and has no pat
fence with men who drink, gamble
or use tobacco. She would be more
at ease with rattlesnake hiding in
her room than to have the odor Of
tobacco there.
She lives at Mackay, is member
of the Woman's club, and Is looking
forward to pleasant time when the
federation meets there this fall

Mrs. M. A. Trego is a native of
Illinois and is " years old on the
7th of June. Her maiden name was
Dean, and much of her childhood
was spent at Rock Island, Illinois,
where her father and brothers were
engaged in boat building. She re-
cived only magre education in
school, but read and studied a great
deal at home, and gained much in
foramtion in this way She early
became interested in the abolition
movement, and for many years was
quite close student of politics, tenn
perance, equal rights, dress reform,
and the science of phrenology.
During the closing days of the
Civil War the family moved to Iowa
and had several crop failures, the
land in their locality being fiat and
the seasons very wet. Sick wheat"
was one of the peculiar products of
those years, and all experiments at
attempting to convert it into palat-
able food proved futile. 1t would
sicken anything that ate it in any
form. Mr.. Trego had series of i'll
nesses covering much of the period
of crop failures, and Mrs. TrAgo sup
ported the family through several
winters by lecturing on phrenology
in school houses and churches in the
country towns in Iowa and Illinois.
In many instances she was denied
the use of halls and churches be-
cause she was woman, the Opposi
ton generally coming from minis
tiers and doctors. In such cases she
took especial pleasure in making a
campaign of education, speaking in
private houses, hotel parlors or any
place where she could seat an audi
ence, until the friends of education
and fair play came to her with Of
fers of halls and churches. She
would then give series of lectures
that would bring the preachers and
doctors in as respectful listeners or
leave them arrayed against large
part of the people who were study

MUNICIPAL HoUsECLEANING.

1t will be remembered that a day
in the spring devoted to this purpose
has been extremely stimulating ard
in many towns has been marked
success.
The lack of neatness in front
streets and back yards, is no more
noticeable in Idaho than in other
places, but equally undesirable. A
day set aside for remedying the con-
sequences of neglect might do much
to prevent similar neglect on future
occasions and to encourage the self
respect of citizens.
An effort to beautify the town by
removing unsightly rubbish piles, by
planting vines, ETC., could be an &C
companying feature, and possibly In
the evening festivity or meeting,
with an illustrated lecture on Civic
Improvement or an address on Citi-
zenship.
Will not the executive board of the
Federation consider this further, and
the different clubs express an opin-
ion on this subject? The public
schools should give half-holiday to
both teachers and children on condi-
ton that all join earnestly in the
work, and the morning session of the
schools should close with appropri-
ate exercises, with a direct bearing
upon civics, preceded, when possible,
by addresses within the comprehen-
sion of all the children on the Duties
of Citizenship and such subjects as
Forestry, Bird Protection, the Purifi-
cation of Streams, etc. A whole day
or day divided between theoretical
instruction in and practical appli-
cation of good citizenship cannot fail
to make a distinct impression upon
any community.

Like all the gossip or adverse crit
icism has cause for being and
birth place. 1t is not of spontaneous
origin, breaking out, Minerva-like,
full-grown; but is of slow, steady
growth, coming so stealthily that it
assumes gigantic proportions before
we are aware of it's existence.
Upon examination we find that as a
rule, gossip or adverse criticism does
not flourish in the ranks of the work.
ing people. Persons who work eth
er mentally or physically, have an
aim in life that crowds out the petty
and low in proportion to the great
ness of the aim.
1t would seem then that the mis-
chief in this instance arises among
the idle classes. This is true. Idle
ness breeds discomfort, envy and Cos
sip to great extent. This comes be-
cause men and women living in this
drone-like condition, have nothing,
to think of but dressing, eating and
making small talk. None of these oc-
equations are uplifting or soul-inspir-
ing. None are satisfying
The human being is so created that
in the average person the spiritual
predominates oyer the animal. If
the spiritual is cultivated by study
and privation we find the man Of

If the animal is cultivated by sens
ual indulgence the person degener-
ates and we have the stupid, stolid
individual who is most bovine in ap-
pearance or else we have the degeher-
ate person who is all animal in real
ty. The girl who is reared to see
no beauty in life and no ideals high
err than the commonest in life, devel-
ops into the worn animalized woman
who, in lifting her mind can see no
higher than her own dishpan or her
neighbours clothesline. The boy who
is reared to see and care for nothing
but facial beauty, ornament in dress
and the Sporty" life, develops into
the man of neither heart nor good
sense--a creature who lives but to
eat, dress and have what he calls
"jolly good time"
1t is in this latter class that the
evils arise. The stolid, Supplied man
or woman finds all of his or her ener-
gies are taxed to the utmost in pro-
viding food for the family. It is then
with the more leisurely class that
gossip and envy thrive. These per-
sons minds are developed to a GER
tain degree and are then left lying
idle. To work is considered dis
graceful and so they gossip to pass
the time.
Unfortunately for them, the wo-
men are given most to unkind crit
icism. Hundreds of women are
bright intelligent girls who live tcl-

their marriage. Their husbands are

election of officers, adjourned on
May 26th, until the last Tuesday in
September. The study of the Brit
ish Isles of the Bay View study
course, and English literature, with
curtain twice devoted to current
topics, will be taken up next year.
The three prizes offered school chill
dren for best kept yards, and gar
dens showing most careful work, will
not be awarded until little later on
account of lateness of season.
The first of the pictures intended
for the school rooms of Washington
and Lincoln, have been received and
are very beautiful. They measure IS

Our cooked food sale on the day
of Salmon river land opening was
very successful. The closing of the
year found our limit of membership
(20) full.
Our club would have liked to con-
tribute to the university scholarship
fund this year, but did not see its
way clear to do so. We adopted a
"club ward" some time since in the
person of an orphan girl of thirteen,
whom circumstances were compelling
to leave school for lack of support,
and enter a life of service. We have
pledged her clothing, sewing, school
books and all expenses for one year,
and have given several days to fit
ting her out for the summer.

COLUMBIAN CLUB NOTES.

The German Conversation section
met with the chairman, Mrs. Heusch-
KEEL, Wednesday afternoon, for the
last meeting of the year. 1t was a
most enjoyable occasion. Members
who listened to Mrs. Heuschkel's talk
on "The Women whom Goethe loved,
beginning with his mother, and the
influence exerted over his different
works." compliment Mrs. Heuschkel
most highly on the charm and in
terest of her descriptions. There
was the usual German converse, and
after the talk, the delicious German
coffee and accompanying refresh
ments. The decorations were very
beautiful, the parlors being, lovely
with carnations, the library with
snow balls and the dining room with
other flowers. The refreshments
were served from daintily arranged
table, a low bowl of lilies of the val
ley forming the centerpieee.
Mrs. Beatty and Mrs. Brandt were
guests of the class. The hostess was
assisted by her two daughters, the
Misses Heuschkel and two Of her pu-
pills from st. Margaret's school, the
Misses Boyle and Heer. Miss Heer
is especially proficient in French and
German.
This closes the meetings of the
German section for the year, and
forms one of many pleasant occa-
sions of the kind. Owing to Illness

it, according to the latest maps and
