Checks Without Stamps.
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.

Woman's Sphere.
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.' "
