if it involve no loss of the qualities in
which woman excels. Such a loss
would deprive her of the influence
which she yields in the home, and
eventually defeat the very purpose for
which she has entered the public
arena. The evils that result from
wrong political practice must surely
arouse apprehension, but what we
have chiefly to fear is the growth of
division that tends to breed hatred.
The remedy for this lies not in the
struggle of parties, but in the diffu-
sion of good will. To reach the hearts
of men and take away their bitter
ness, that they may live henceforth
in fellowship one with another-this
is woman's vocation in respect of pub
lie affairs, and the service which she
by nature is best fitted to render

WOMAN'S INFLUENCE.

In society as in the home, the in
tiuence of woman is potent. She
rules with the power of gentleness,
and, where men are chivalrous, her
will is the social law. To use this
power and fashion, this law in such
wise that the world may be better be-
cause of her presence, is a worthy
ambition. But it will not be achieved
by devices that arouse the coarser in
stincts and crafty vanity at the ex-
pense of decency. There will be less
ground to complain of the wrong in
flicted on women, when women them
selves maintain their true dignity.
Favor is deceitful and beauty is vain ;
the woman that feareth the Lord, she
shall be praised" proverbs XXI,
30.) .-M..
The present tendency in all civilized
countries is to give woman larger
share in pursuits and occupations that
formerly were reserved to men. The
sphere of her activity is no longer
confined to the home or to her social
environment; it includes the learned
professions, the field of industry and
the forum of political life. Her ahil-
ity to meet the hardest of human con-
ditions has been tested by the expert
ence of war; and the world pays trib-
ute, rightfully, to her patriotic spirit,
her courage and her power of restor-
ing what the havoc of war had we'll
nigh destroyed.
Those same qualities are now to un-
dergo a different sort of trial; for
woman by engaging in public affairs,
accepts, with equal rights, an equal
responsibility. So far as she may
purify and elevate our political life,
her use of the franchise will prove an
advantage; and this will be greater

THE CHlLDREN'S HOUR.
SLEDS.

Near small village in this State,
one Saturday afternoon, party Of
merry boys were engaged in riding
hill. They drew their sleds to the top
of the long hill, then, guiding them by
a strong cord, they descended the hill
together, each striving to make his
own sled go swiftest and farthest.
Loud shouts of merriment burst
from the happy group, as they passed
each other in ascending or descending
the hill. Some times a luckless boy
would be thrown from his sled into
the snow headlong, which would cause
them all to shout with glee.
Joseph stood at the top of the hill,
near the place whence the boys start.
ed and, with sad face and fearful
eyes, he watched the joyous lads.
How happy l would be-" thought
he, IF l could have a sled!" AS one
of the larger boys came near him,
he said, Please, Rufus, let me take
your sled; for, l must go home soon,
and l have not had one ride today"
mol" said Rufus, roughly; Il want
| it myself. Why don't you have one of
your own" and before Joseph could
reply Rufus was nearly at the foot of
| the hill again; not, for a moment,
thinking of the pain his unkind an
swer had caused the little orphan boy.
Joseph turned his steps towards
home, his little heart swelling with
grief.
eff my father had not died." said he
to himself,"he would have bought me
as pretty sled as any one has; but
l have no father or mother to buy me
any such things" and the tears fell
thick and fast as he returned to his
home.
Joseph had kind sister who loved
him very much, and who did every
thing she could to make him happy.
But this sister lived many miles away,
in another village, and could 60 to
visit Joseph only two or three times
in year.
She was at that time, going to visit
him, and thought the prettiest present
she could carry him, would be a new
sled. She bought one which was
painted a bright red color, with
stripes of white and blue around it,
and the name "Swiftsure," painted in
yellow letters on each side of it.
Oh, what joy filled little Joseph's
heart, when his sister gave him this
beautiful sled! The next Saturday
afternoon, he was permitted to go to

THE LAD WORTH WHILE.

Wanted at once, by the busy old world
A lad that is brave and strong,
One who will shoulder his load with
a smile
And bear it away with a song.
The world has place for willing
lad
Who is not afraid to work,
But it turns away with averted eye
From the laggard and drone and
shirk.
Wanted, a boy who is clean in his
thoughts,
And who is true as truth,
Who can work and wait till his dreams
come true
With the blessed faith of youth.
For the world has need of those golden
dreams,
And the dreams of the boy who holds
it fast
Become the truth of the man.
Wanted, a boy who can roll up his
sleeves s.
And help the old world along,
Who shoulders his load with a merry
laugh
And bears it away with a song
For the world has need of a smile,
So here's to the laddie who brings it,
The lad who is worth while.

QUEEN is PATRON OF SHOP
WHERE DECENT TOGS ONLY
ARE MADE.

Italy provides way to solve indie
cent styles: Twenty-one years ago an
initiative was started in Turin by
three Italian ladies, sisters of very
good family and excellent Catholics.
When the idea came to them they
were doing nothing more than holding
catechism classes for certain num-
thing more for the girls and they
started, first, of course, on quite small
lines, a dress making establishment.
They put all their work into it and it
grew Now they have two houses in
Turin, one in Genoa, one in Rome.
The number of girls they employ in
Turin runs well into three figures;
in Rome they have, on and off, about
fifty.
The small lines on which they start
ed have extended. Their manageress
and chief buyer go to Paris every
year and return with the latest mod
els. They make frocks for their
clients in the very latest fashion, with
workmanship as good as any to be
found only the frocks are shorn of
everything that is not decent. Obvi-
ously it is easy for an expert to do
this: to make nice frock fully as
good and as fashionable as the indie
cent ones that the other crowd force
on their customers. And that is just
what is done in the Roman atelier
that | have seen.
The small clientele first secured at
Turin grew so that the business could
be extended to Rome and Genoa. La
dies of the queens court patronize
it, the queen mother buys frocks
from it.; ladies of the Catholic, and, if
not necessarily Catholic, of the we'll
thinking aristocracy find that to be
dressed decently they need not wear
badly and unfashionably made
clothes The profits made go to ex-
tend the business, so that not only
may more ladies be well. and nicely
dressed but more and more girls may
be we'll employed.
In the Roman atelier there are
bright airy workroOms, the girls are
paid the current rate of wages, work
the current spell of hours, the bust
ness is run on business lines; all that
is different from other places is the
atmosphere which is not pagan, ire
| ligious, immoral, as unhappily it is in
some such places, but Catholic. The
girls do not live in the house. They
come in to work in the ordinary way
| but the life is a Catholic life. There
is a charming little chapel: wher
there is a feast of the Church the
| feast is kept.

PRICES AFTER THE CIVIL WAR.

The high prices which prevailed in
this country after the Civil War are
frequently quoted in an effort to
justify the exorbitant prices which
we are compelled to pay for the ne
cessities of life today. The compari
son is unjustifiable, however, for in
1865 and the years Immediately fol
lowing the war, the economic condi-
tions were vastly different from those
of our day.
The climax of Civil War prices was
reached at the close of 1864 and lasted
for only short time in 1865. The
highest point touched showed an
average increase we'll past 100 per
cent. Many articles by this time were
selling for three. and some for four
and five times what they brought at
the beginning of the war
Early in 1865 -four was selling at
So a barrel; sugar had advanced to
80 cents a pound, butter to IS cents,
and vegetables, canned goods, teas
and coffees had doubled in price.
Pork had moved up from $40 barrel
wholesale to $50. Coal was selling
for $40 a ton, kerosene for 80 cents
gallon, a spool of cotton thread for
80 cents, and muslins that had sold for
from to cents a yard in 1860 were
hard to get at ~ cents a yard.
But people who had to buy COM
modities near the close and immedi-
ately after the close of the Civil War
had an experience that has not yet
come to the present purchasers.
Prices began to fall early in 1865 as
it became more and more apparent
that the war must end soon. By the
time Lee surrendered in April of that
year there had been a"decline Of TWEEN
ty-seven points in the general plane Of
prices.
By 1866 the decline was arrested
and a slight upward movement began
that continued for two years, although
the peak prices of the war were not
again reached For another year
prices hesitated, and then with 1869,
four years after the ending of the war,
a steady decline set in. For the three
years from 1871 to 1S74-including
the panic years-the decline paused.
1t then began once more and contin-
ued until 1878, thirteen years after
the close of the war, when specie pay
ment was resumed and the pre-war
level of prices was reached.
What caused the decline, according
to Professor F. w. Taussig, of Har-
ward, was the increase in population
and wealth, so that there was a grad
ual growing up to the currency.
Prices fell as goods became more
abundant through the increase of pro
duction. Obviously the prices were
largely controlled by supply and de-
mand," a condition which exists only
to limited extent at the present time
The high prices in our day are due
primarily to manipulation and profit
eering. Instead of a gradual decline
since the end of the war, we have wit
messed a further increase in all nee
essaries of life during the past eight
cen months. Uncurbed in any way
by the government, the profteers have
become more bold in their efforts to
extort all they can from the pockets
of the masses.
