Though you live in an elegant residence and
fare sumptuously every day, let your daugh
ters feel it it a disgrace to them not to know
liowtowork. I denounce the Idea, preva
lent in srejeiy, that, though our youns w
nien may embroider slippers and crochot
and make mats for lamps to stand on with
out disgrace, the idea of dolus anything for
a livelihood Is dishonorable. It is a shame
tor a j'oung woman, belonging to a larso
family, to be inefficient when thefathertoils

for a daughter to bo idle while her mother
toils at the washtul). It is as honorablo to
sweep house, make beds cr trim hats as It Is
to twi-t a watch chain.
As far as I can understand, the line of re
speefa' ilitv lies between that which is useful
and that which is useless. If women dotbat
which Is of no value, their work is honora
ble. If they do practical work, it is dishon
orable. That our youns women may escape
tho censure of doius dishonorable work I
shall particularize. Vou may knit a tidy for

In the course of a lifetimo you consume
whole harvests and droves of cattle, and every

One Sabbath night. In the vestibule of my
ihuroh, after servioe a woman fell in oon
rulslons. The doctor said she needed me li
mine not so much as something to eat. Ai
he began to revive, in her delirium she sai l
gaspingly : "Eight cents ! Eight cmts ! Eisht
;ents ! I wish I could get it done ! I am so
tired I I wish I could get some sleep, but I
nust get it done ! Eight cents ! Eight cents I"
We found afterward that she was m iking
rarments at eight cents apiece, and that she
;ould make but three of thorn la a day. Hear
it ! Three times eight are twenty-four. Hear
;t, men an I women who have comfortable
homes !
Some of the worst villains of the city are
the employers of these wo:nm. They beat
them down to the last penny an I try to
?heat them out of that. The woman must
deposit $l or 2 beforo she g .its the gar
ments to work on. Wuen the work is don ,
It is sharply lnsp3cted, ttie most insignifi
cant flaws picked out and the wages rofused,
and sometimes the il d"positel not given
back. The Women's Protective Uulou re
ports a case where ouo of these poor souls,
llndlng a place wherjshe coul I s-'t morn
wages, resolved to change employers an I
went to get her pay for work done. Tliu
employer says, "I hear you an soiug to
leave me?" "Yes," she said, "and I have
come to set what you owe me." He ma do
no answer. She sai l, "Are you not soing
to pay me?" "Yes," ho said, "I will pay
you," and ho kicked her do -vn stairs.
How are these evils to be eradicated?
What have you to answer, you who sell
coats and have shoes made and contract tor
the southern and western markets? What
help is there, what panacea, what re leinp
tlon? Some say, "Give women the ballot. '
What effect suet, ballot might have on other
questions I am not here to diseeuss, but
what would be the effect of feinalu suffrage
upon woman's wages? I do nut beii-jve that
woman will over get justice by womnus
ballot.
Indecd,women oppress women ns much as
caen do. l)o not women, as muca as men
heat down to the lowest figure the woman
who sews for them? Are not women as sharp
as men on washerwomen an I milliners an i
mantua makers? If a woman asks tt for her
work, does not her female employer ask If
she will not take ninety cents? You say,
"Only ten cents difference." Bnt that is
sometimes the difference between heaven
and hell. Women often have less commis
eration for women than men. If a woman
steps aside from the path of virtue, man may
forgive woman never ! Woman will never
get justice done her from woman's ballot.
Never will she pet it from man's ballot,
bow, then? Gol will rise up for her. God
has more resources than we know of. The
Bamlns sword that hnns at Eden's sate
when woman was driven out will cleave with
Its terrible edge her oppressors.
But there Is something for our women to
lo. Let our young people prepare to excel
In spheres of work, and they will be able
fter awhile to sot larger wages. If It be
shown that a woman can In a store sell more
too Is in a year than a man, she will soon be
ible not only to ask but to demand .more
irage9, an! To deman them" succeNfntlr.'
Unskilled and incompetent labor must take
what Is given. Skilled and competent labor
will eventually make its own standard. Ad
nitting that the law of supply and demand
regulates these things, I contend that the
lemand for sklllo 1 labor la very great and
be supply very small.
Start with the lde-j that work Is honorable
nd that you can do some one thing better
fhan anyone else. Resolve that. God help
Ins, you will take care of yourself. If you
re after a while called into another relation,
rou will all the better be qualified for it by

Christian woman, however magnlllcently
lressed, and no one has so much right to
Iress well as a Christian. Not so with the

The dying actress whose life had been
ricious said ! "The scene oioses. Draw the
surtain." Generally the tragedy comes first
ind the farce afterward, but In her life it
was first the farce of a useless life and then
the tragedy of a wretched eternity.
Compare the life and death ol such a one
wltb that of some Christian aunt that was
nce a blesslnn to tout household. I do not
know that she was ever offered a hand in
marriage. She lived single, that untram
tneled she might be everybody s blessing.
(Vbenever the sick were to be Tisited or the
aoor to be provided with bread, she went
with a blessing. She could pray or sing
"Bock of Ages" for any siok pauper who
uked her. As she got older there were days
when she was a little sharp, but for the

it waa only to net about on crutohes for Ave

most eminent physleians the rheumatism
crew worse, and for the last four years I
have been compelled to ko about bent half

may have been a little sour, which, when
mixed with tbe rest of course hastens tho

is not aware of this sour cream it will all

must be more or less impaired. This is

Teas are an excellent food for milch
cows, or for hogs. Take a piece of fall
plowing and harrow it well to make $
good seed bed. Sow broadcast two and
uua-half bushels of the small Canada
peas, or three bushels of marrowfats, and
plow under four or five inches. Tbe pea
is a deep-rooted plant and should be put
well down. Sow on top of the ground
one bushel of oats to hold tho peas up.
For hogs they come in as green forage
after clover, and may be cut with a
scythe, and thrown in to them, or a mov
able fence may be put around a small
portion of tho field. Good success has
been obtained by putting the peas and
oats In tbe silo. Or they may be cut and
cured, threshed and ground into meal.

Ii planting shrubs, let the soil bo rich

depth they were grown in the nurseries
from which they wcra procured, and

among them, and settle it wed by giving
the plants occasional jarring. When
covered, press down firmly with the

water well. This works the soil down
until every crack and crevice is full, and
makes it compact about tho roots. Then
put on the rest of the soil, finniog it
well about the base of the shrub.

CROWTXQ OATS.
Oae of the most important items wi;h
hU crop is early seeding. Oats nil!
grow aua turlve iu cool, moist weaibur,
but hot, dry weather often cuts short the
growth and yield.
To be profitable oats must be grown
shcaply; one point in doing this is to
R'cure a good growth and yisld, and
every advantage must be taken to get
this.
Everything should bo made ready, si
mat at tue llrst lavorable opportuuity
the work can be pushed along as rapidly
as possible. While earllness is an item,
there is no advantage in trying to work
the soil when it is wet. With oats, ai
with all other crops, it is important to
have the soil ia good tilth, and this can
not be secured readily if the soil ij
worked wet.
One rapid, as we'd as economical, way
of sowing oats is to have two teams and
three men. One of tbe men can saw the
oats broadcast by hand, anolher, with a
team and cultivator, can work them into
the soil, and the man and team can har
row into good tilth. In this way tho
seeding may be done very rapidly. It is
not necessary nor best to work the soil
deep. The roots of the oat plant grow
very near the surface, and if tho surfac
es thoroughly fined this is all tho prep
aration necessary.
. Another good plan is lo usa tho disk
harrow with a seeder attachment. Ia
this way the seed is sown and worked
into the soil all at once; it has ono de
cided advantage ia that the seed can bt
sown very readily and much ciote eveolj
when the wind is blowing bard than can
well be , done by hand. Many of ths

Trill Have His Way.
Tou can't get the best of a slioa
clerk. IIo knows more about shoea
than a small boy knows about tho
exact day 6chool closes. A woman
hates a shoe clerk, and to all outward
appearance tho shoo clerk feels tho
same sort ot sentiment toward the
woman.
There is one habit that a siioo
clerk has that Is exasperating beyond
everything. He always insists uron
holding up the old shoe that he ha
just removed, and, after taking ia
all Its rips and rags and patches, bo
flings it on the floor as If it were in
fested with small-pox microbes. That
one little incident Is quite enough
to make the woman shut her teeth
together and mentally declare war.
"What size, tuadam?" says he.
"Four r," she replies.
"Well, I think you need a 5 trlplo
A,'" ho suggests.
Then If the woman Is a real brave,
courageous bit of femininity, slio
straightens up and says: "I will not
wear a 5. If you can't give me what
I ask for I shall go elsewhere."
It all depends upon the makeup of
the shoe clerk whether or not he gets
angry at this point. Sometimes ho
goes away and presently comes back
with a shoe several sizes too small
for the woman's foot. Then he pro
ceeds to try to jam the unhapry foot
into It, after which he smiles bland
ly and remarks sweetly: "You see,
madam?"
Hut, anyway, whatever plan lie fol
lows and whatever demands she
makes, the woman invariably trots
off with her No. 4 foot incased
in a 'o- "J triple "A" shoo. If tho
clerk is clever she Isn't aware of tho
t deceit until she gets home and looks
! at the box. Then 6he thinks of how
t she said to him sharply: "Vou
needn't bring on your 5's. I won t
wear them:" And then she sits down
anl has a good laugh.
That's. why I say that you can t
get tlio "best of a shoe clerk. Of
course, women realize that they are
unreasonable at times and that, buy
inn shoes is a trying bus 'nc:s anyway,
but it seems rather hard to think
that we can't have the shoes we ask
for ju-t ouce in a while. Chicago
