It doesn't appear to be generally known that when a man draws a cheek to his own order he needn't puta two-cent stampoo it. If you, for instance, want to get out some money on your own account, all you need to do is to change your cheek so that it reads like a receipt. Write "received of" in front of the hank's name, cross out the words "pay to the order of," and then fill in the space with the amount of money required and sign as usual, and have then a check that is legal without a stamp. The government decided that this could be done last AngUSt, but it jjavc no great pub licity to its decision, nod probably not one private DMMU or business house in ten has ever heard of the matter.

Vandelia Varnum says: '-I con fess I do not know what woman's sphere is, and more than that I do not want to know. I know that the majority uf women love firs! and last and hest ol all the home. No power on earth or beneath the earth could wrench that love from them or make them false to it. 1 know there arc some that fail there, not from outward OOtlditioUS hut from inward conditions. " The idea that the liars must be pit up lo keep woman in her 'sphere is too absurd. As well bar the heavens to keep the mother dinl on her best. "So, I say, I do not want to know what woman's 'sphere' is; for fear if I did, I might do as some others try to do, clip and trim her to suit their own notions. A king, it is said, once thoughi tie would give every man in his kingdom a suit of clothes. Twenty ordered them all after one pattern. Some were found to be too long and some too short, some too slack and some too tight, and in each case he ordered the individual to be clipped and sheared, inflated and squeezed, according to the case. That la what some are trying to do with woman. As for me, I am willing to trust the Lord in making her, and trust her common sense after she is made. "It is a ticklish business going hack and behind common sense in dealing with any question, but those who look hack instead ot forward, who counsel with custom instead of reason, with tradition instead of rod, are likely to get in some different places. For instance I ask a per son, why a woman should sing in public and not speak, why should she recite the thoughts of others and not her own thoughts ; and he can not answer me, and no one can. 1 ask another wliv she shoiilil pcrloriu in the theatre half-clad ami not, in suitable attire, speak to the people on the questions of the day; why she should sit on public exhibition, in the theatre-box in scant dress, and not in modest dress pass quietly to the ballot-bOX to voice her convic tions of right ; and he can not tell me, and no one can. I ask another why woman should lie worked and pushed and promoted to everything in the church ami not allowed to represent the church at her gather ings ; why she should teach and pray ami exhort with or without a text and give Bible readings, and not be allowed to preach ; and he an not tell me and no one else CAD. "Sick, sick, sick of this idiocy ov er 'woman's sphere.' Giro man his freedom, give woman her freedom, and they will both find their sphere, but let not one think to escapeGod's wrath when He says to asinglesoul, 'Thus far and no farther.'
