When they do, it is a goad thing for
philanthropy.
A Buffalo woman bas embarked in a
new work which will excite wido inter
est because it is one of practical reform.
The Deed for it is a need of the boor,
and the woman is Dr. Sarah Howe Mor
ris, known by thousands to be giving r
lifetime to loving, earnest work for the
good of the world.
For years and by degrees Dr. Morris
bas been getting to this Fpecial task
the scientific and effectual raising not
of the dead, but of those sometimes
more hopeless, the inebriate. She has
endeavored to reach them through the
Woman's Christian Temperance union;
she bas looked into prohibition; she
bas labored with drunkards individu
ally and in the Jails. Twenty-five years
ago she established in Brooklyn the
famous Morris borne, where hundreds
of inebriates were cured simply by the
power of good hygienio living and
wholesome teaching. But there has al
ways been something lacking nntil the
year of grace 1896. What that some
thing is and bow she found it make a
very interesting chapter of their own.
"Thirty years ago Horace Greeley
said, 'Drunkenness is a disease, cot a
crime, ' and be was roundly abused for
bis idea. The habitual drunkard was
the cherished target of the pulpit, the
press, the reformer and the judge, and
these powers refused to have their bulls
eye knocked out in that easy way. The
drunkard wa) jailed with enthusiasm,
and he bas beu kept jailed most of the
time since at large expense to him and
to ns. It is only cf late that Greeley's
advice has struck home, and by the help
of scientists we are finding that it is as
wise to imprison a man for drunkenness
as it is to 'cage' him for rheumatism.
His disease may be, often is, bis own
doing most diseases are the result cf
our own mistakes but a disease, dipso
mania, remains, and we now rightly turn
to the physician for the solution of the
great temperance problem. "
Dr. Morris was one of the first to
come out and agree with Mr. Greeley,
and ghe has ber half of a very interest-

ing correspondence which the two car
ried on over the situation. The inebriate
was a sick man. He needed medicine.
Man cannot live by bread alone nor can
the drunkard be cured by moral suasion.
After awhile the borne in Brooklyn
was given op, but through all these
long years of heavy and varying labors
Dr. Morris never gave rip her hope cf
finding a remedy, a specific, for the
liquor babit
Strangely enough, for many of us
look for nothing practical from a re
former, the suggestion that led to Dr.
Morris' new work came from Francis
Murpby. While visiting at her Buffalo
borne be told ber of a liquor cure which
van tx-inrr ncprl with preat mfrpfift Sh I
immediately went to Chicago, investi
gated the remedy and was convinced
that at last the lacking something was
iu ber band.
With this remedy at ber command,
with a determination to begin anew
the work of raising broken men and
women from worth lessness to useful
ness, and with a preparation, an expe
rience and a personality extraordinary.
Dr. Morris bas opened a home here for
the cure cf dipsomania and the morphine
babit. She will not bave it called an
institution." It has none of the ear
marks, or ball marks, ote might say, of
an institution. It is a home in every
6ense of the word.
She is decided about another phase of
the matter also. It is not a cure for
worthless creatures, but a veritable door
of hope for men men worthy of the
name who bave fallen through drink.
There is no shutting our eyes to the fact
that there are thousands of these brainy,
educated, valuable ruea and women
drifting round like wrecks. This is tt
class she chooses to set back into pros
perity and peace.
It is interesting to see the borne life
under her regime It might be copied
in all homes to advantage. There is
proper living without too mnch rule,
there is earnest direction without dicta
tion, there is encouragement without
palaver and goodness without cant Of
course there is good cheer, for while ',

In these days when all fields of work,
especially woman's work, are said to be
overcrowded it is a relief to find one
exception. This exception is the profes
sion f trained nursery maids, the de
mand being from tO to 100 per cent
greater than the supply.
"We can graduate only about 23 girls
a year." said the superintendent of the
N.'w York Training School For Kursery
Maids, "and we bave applicants fcr
sevirnJ hundred during that time. The
suLjct of training nurses for the care
cf children is receiving each year more
attention, and intelligent parents are
tacisrjHig to feel that the old idea that
r.ny person could mind the baby is
about exhausted.
"In our training we do i:ct attempt
to give medical knowledge, for we con
sider 'a little knowledge a dangerous
thing,' but we seek to make them
capable of taking a bealtby baby and
keeping it healthy. The terse learns
nursery hygiene in its broadest sense
with the rudiments of kindergarten. As
a life work for women this profession
seems mnch to be preferted to that cf
a shop or a faertory girl. We have appli
cants for our graduates fre m ereiy state
in the Union and almost c very country
in the world. Several cf our graduates
are abroad now as nurses in the fami
lies of the nobility. Of course, as I re
marked at first the demand is greater
than the supply, so we are forced to
answer 'No' many times where we
would be only too glad to scpply c r-ood

we bad an application from the West
ludiea, and the place was an admirable
one, but we bad no oue to send there.
Every girl graduated is already engaged.
"During the last two years there
bare been similar schools founded in
Montreal. Newark, Brooklyn and De

fart that female draftsmen bave fot
several years been employed in archi

engineers in New York has gone beyond
this and employed one young woman
who has graduated from an engineering
school and shares the ordinary duties of
ber associates, though, of course, at a
disadvantage concerning shop, mill and
field work.
This moves The Engineering Record
to say: "Every encouragement should.
of course, be given to extending and de
veloping the scope of suitable female
employment, but it should not, in the
novelty of a new field, be forgotten that
the profession of engineering is a most
jealous mistress and exacts the utmost
effort and eternal enthusiasm, together
with indomitable perseverance and per
sistence and superior special qualifica
tions and sound judgment from those
who are to secure a permanent foothold

duties assigned the engineer. No tran

and, further, to be truly a competent
engineer involves the necessity of inti

not only necessary to success, but for

The Girl Bachelor.
There is no occasiou to commiserate
the condition of the girl bachelors who
keep house. They do not want it, bet

Urr Political Aspiratiouo.
Professor Felix Adler, in an address
on "The Political AsrinjLUssa ?it te
en, " says:
"In no rautiy is the ro more defer
ence shown to woman than in ours,
not alone id the outward exhibition
shown them of courtesy, but genuine
respect, which comes from all ranks cf
society. Yet she is denied the franchise,
except in a few Etates, and there her
franchise is in most cases confined to
local matters.
"Her position, it bas been often said,
is similar to that of infants, criminals
and the insane. Some even go further
and say it is wcrre, for the infant will
grow to nianhond ai d inherit the right
of citizenship, the sentence of the crim
inal will expire and his rights be re
stored to him, and even the insane per
son may recover bis reasoning power
and enjoy the franchise again. In no
country is there greater liberty, yet it
was the intention of our fathers to limit
the male enters by a property require
ment, which was swept away by a tide
of democracy early in the century. Our
fathers probably never intended matters
to be as they are, but their barriers were
unable to stand before the rushing tide
of young democracy. Then cau:e the
civil war, and the franchise was given
to the colored man. yet it is still with
held from half of the population.
"Women need the ballot for self pro
tection. It is true no class can safely
trust its interest to another. This is to
rue cue of the convincing arguments in
favor cf woman suffrage, aud I think it
should be worked for deliberately aud
conscientiously. I believe that when the
time is ripe they should be participants
in the government I strongly believe
that, but I believe the time, however,
is not yet ripe. "
In conclusion. Professor Adler said
that education was the argument to
open the gates. Great power, he assert
ed, did net beget freedom. Whenever
there bad been great political success
there bad been great political training.
Vomn la Public Life.
Mrs. Lucy L. Flower, a trustee of
the University cf Illinois, writing in
The Outlook on "Women In Public
Life, " says:
"Nine-tenths of our public school
teachers are women. Some of the very
best and most successful principals are
women, aud -these women should cer
tainly bave a representative' of thrir
own sex among the school directors,
some person or persons who can see and
present the woman's point of view.
Our state universities are all coeduca
tional, and the interests of the young
women in these institutions require rep
resentatives on their governing boards.
"If a man be left with a family of
girls on bis bands to bring up. bis help
lessness iu the face of this responsibility
is often truly pitiful. He will generally
own frankly that be knows nothing
about girls, and be appeals at once for
some woman's help. And yet we bave
been putting the interests of young
girls for four of their most impression
able years entirely in the bands of men,
though there is a general acknowledg
ment of man's inability successfully to
cope, unaided, with the needs of bis
own daughters. I believe that if there
were more cf the right woman's influ
ence in all of our colleges there would
be less dissipation, but where there are
girls it is a necessity that scone one who
understands their wants as women
v. hie h few men can should be able to
stand frr these interests in the council
of the trustees. "

At a meeting of the American Statis
tical association Dr. S. W. Abbott sec
retary of the state board of health of
Massachusetts, presented some figures
regarding the proportion of pulmonary
tuberculosis in females to that in males
in Massachusetts. The rate in 16S1 was
1,451 females to 1,000 males; in 1890,
1,055 females to 1,000 males, and in
1895, only 974 females to 1.000 males.
Eighteen hundred and ninety-five was
the first year in the history of the state
in wbic! the number of deaths from
phthisis in females was smaller than
that in males. The fact that a uniform
reduction in the rate of female deaths
began some five years ago, about the
same time women were beginning to
ride the bicycle extensively. Dr. Ab
bott considers significant, and be is in
clined to attribute the decrease in the
death rate to the great increase in open

Has it ever occurred to you to reckon
bow far your eyes travel in reading?
The distance will not startle you, per

however, the average reader wends his

average novel of 300 pages contains one
mile of reading that is, the eyes travel
