CA.STOH.IA,
Benra the J* Kind You Have Always Bought
REV. IDA C. HULIN.
One of the Mont IBoquent Platform
Speaker* In TIIIM Country.
Rev. Ida C. Hulin, pastor of the
Church of the Unity (Unitarian) in All
- is probably one of the most elo
quent aiul forceful speakers in this
country. She is considered one of the
greatest "cards" that the Unitarian so
ciety ever had for its Sunday serv
ice on Boston Common during the sum
mer season.
Miss Ilulin is a typical western wom
an. She was born and educated in
Michigan. Her father was a Swede
and her mother of New England birtli.
She says she hardly knows what led
her to the ministry. She was a preach
er long before she received special
training or even thought of entering
Michigan university at Ann Arbor to
prepare for the ministry.
In the west she conducted what is
called a circuit, holding perhaps three
BEV. IDA C. HULIN.
Sabbath services in three different
places. She says she thought nothing
of harnessing up her horse and buggy
and riding thirty miles 011 a Sunday
morning to conduct a service and per
haps preach at three services in us
many distant towns.
Miss Ilulin has a very remarkable
voice of great depth and volume and is
a llueiit speaker. She came into prom
inence several years ago as a speaker
for the National Suffrage association.
Miss Ilulin has very positive opinions
in regard to women's responsibility in
municipal affairs. The need of the
hour she believes is a change of front,
the putting forward of great moral is
sues in place of the greed for gold. The
pioneers of the woman movement, she
suys, like Columbus when he set sail
for America, have discovered not u
new world, but part of our old one.
To Miss Ilulin the modern woman Is
not a "new woman," but a woman with
new hopes, new aspirations and new
feelings. She declares women should
have the right to vote, and, while she
believes in housework for women, she
Insists that it should be well regulated.
"Housework," she says, "does not
muke a home. I have seen many a
beautifully kept house that was not by
any means a home."—Boston Globe.
The No Parlor Idea.
A home in which the increasingly
popular "110 parlor" idea is exemplified
was seen recently. It is an ordinary
city house and has recently changed
hands. The new chatelaine has turned
the long heretofore parlor in the front
of the house into the most delightful
of living rooms. Low bookcases have
been built around the sides and all
woodwork in the room painted white.
The walls are hung with a plain car
tridge paper of just the proper tone of
green to go with the plain green car
pet of deep pile that suggests the moss
of the forest, the two harmonizing with
several pieces of furniture in the room
upholstered in another tone of the same
shade of green. The fireplace, pictures
and a very few pieces of necessary bric
a-brac relieve the monotony while tak
ing nothing away from the restful in
fluence of the apartment that is gained
by the pervasive green. This color, as
our psychic friends tell us, is pre-emi
nently the one with which emotional,
high strung Americans should sur
round themselves.
The Face and Throat.
"Few women realize how much cold
water and brisk rubbing will beautify
the skin of one's throat and face," said
a well known woman "beauty special
ist." "Even those who cannot stand
the shock of an entire cold bath every
morning or whose systems are too deli
cate to allow them to take such a cold
bath as a whole would be surprised to
find how much good it would do them
to take a cold douche just to the waist.
They should accustom themselves to
take a cold dash of water over the face
and throat. Then after, as they become
accustomed to it, they can gradually
take more and more until they ure able
to stand the shock. Or, if warm water
is preferred, finish off with a dash of
cold water or a shower bath. Then rub
briskly. The cold water and brisk rub
bing make the flesh hard and firm, im
prove the texture of the skin and often
have a wonderful effect in removing
that blotchy appearance of the skin
which is such an affliction to a girl with
un otherwise pretty neck."
B Give Yonr (lilld n Garden.
It is an exceptional chikl who would
not value flowers and a garden of 11 a
pwn. Boys and girls alike are delight
rd with the very idea of possessing a
bit of ground whore they can "plant
things" mid watch them grow. The
workers in city missions know that
even the most unpromising specimens
of shun childhood can be won by flow
ers. and among children of more favor
ed classes the moral influence of flow
ers is a force, though it is not recog
nized lor extended as it might be. Peo
ple living in villages or small cities
usually have some ground around their
homes in which they can set apart a
place for the children's garden. The
love of nature fostered by this garden
making will throve a constant source
of pleasure through the child's life. The
cultivation of habits of close observa
tion and the knowledge of useful and
of harmful plants thus gained are sure
to be of future value.—Woman's Ilome
Companion.
The Higher Education.
President David Starr Jordan of the
Lcland Stanford, Jr., university says:
"The highest product of social evolu
tion is the growth of the civilized home,
the home that only wise, cultured and
high minded women can make. To fur
nish such women is one of the wor
thiest functions.of higher education."
And President Jordan, who, as the
head of a coeducational university, lias
unusual opportunities of forming an
opinion, adds to the general belief
when he says that higher education not
only does uot net as a discouragement
of marriage, but Is a positive induce
ment to it and so to the establishment
of homes. All investigations and obser
vations prove that the proportion of
marriage is as large and the result as
happy among highly educated women
as among those less favored.—Philadel
phia Press.
A Vne For Old Monqulto Netting.
A good suggestion Is a use for mos
quito netting after it lias done duty on
bars or as bed canopy. Of it excellent
wash and dish cloths may be made.
The netting should be folded several
times, six or eight at least, and the
square made considerably larger than
desired, as the material shrinks a great
deal. The thicknesses are then to be
quilted in long stitches and ut wide In
tervals with white darning cotton, the
edges turned in where they are not
folded, and the article is ready. If the
netting is colored, toss the cloths into
the boiler before using and boil out tlie
dye. The wearing quality of these net
ting cloths Is almost unexcelled, while
the loose mesh makes them very satis
factory to use.
An Ironing: Hint.
A good way to prevent tin? hand from
becoming heated when one has a largo
Ironing before her is to put a piece of
thin leather and a piece of paper next
to the top layer when making the iron
ing holder. I use the top part of an old
shoe. Also put a piece of clotli like the
cover one, half the size of the holder,
on the outside. Sew around the edge
when sewing cover on, hut leave it free
in the center of holder and slip the
lingers into this pocket when ironing,
which prevents the heat reaching
them.
A Contrast.
The American woman prides herself
on her coldness of temperament and
the Frenchwoman 011 her susceptibility.
When the latter is 111 love, her one am
bition and delight is to give happiness,
while the American woman expects to
he made happy herself. This opposite
way of looking at things makes them
as different from each other as two
creatures of the same species could
possibly be.—"Eve Triumphant."
To Wash PonKee.
"How should you wash pongee?" said
the saleswoman as she measured off
the number of yards of the silk for the
customer who asked the question.
"Wash it in warm soapsuds; do not boil
nor scald it; rinse thoroughly in sev
eral waters. Take it down before it is
quite dry and roil it up without sprin
kling. In half an hour it may be
pressed smoothly with a moderately
hot iron. That's all."
Clieemc Straws.
Choose straws are made by mixing
half a cup of flour, three tablespoon
fuls grated American cheese, half a ta
blcspooufu! of parmesan cheese, a little
salt and a beaten egg. Work to smooth
paste. Hull out ou floured board to
thin shell. Cut in strips one-fourth inch
wide and four inches long. Put into
buttered pan and buke in rather cool
oven ten minutes.
Mold 011 Olives.
After a bottle or a keg of olives has
been opened the mold will soon form.
A little horseradish or a few nastur
tiums placed therein will prevent this
to a certain extent. The better way is
to buy them in small bottles, so that
the bottle may be used before they
have a chauco to mold.
Turkl.Mli Women.
Turkish women, it is said, are be
coming more independent every year.
Despite orders to cover the face in
public, many boldly let their veils fall
aside ami keep them off altogether
when entering a shop.
To rest is not merely to cease from
being active, but to relax every muscle,
every tension 011 your mind. No one
can rest in a corset nor while tlie
thoughts ure busy with household
cures.
A table pad that will be welcome is
of asbestus cloth, woven so soft and
silky that it cannot injure the most
highly polished table. It is heatproof.
A cement that will mend a crack in
n stove is made by mixing wood ashes,
common salt and a little water.
Floral stripes In the wall paper make
pretty bedrooms.
THE TWO PATHS.
A Little Sketch Tliut Depict. Condi.
tioi!H In Till. Eru of I*roi;rcKS.
In the April Century Magazine Dr. S.
Weir Mitchell In the course of a con
tribution called "A Little Story" gives
this pathetic Incident of modern indus
trial civilization:
A pale young man sat down on a
bench in the park behind the reservoir
on Forty-second street. lie put down
a torn bag of tools under the bench.
A small, red faced man came behind
him. lie stooped to steal the bag.
The pale man turned and said in a
slow, tired way: "Drop that. It ain't
worth stealing."
The ruddy man said, "Not If you're
lookin'."
The pale man set the bag at his feet
and said:
"It's poor business you're in."
"You don't look as if yours was any
better." He sat down. "What's your
callin'?"
"I'm an Iron worker—bridge work."
"Don't look strong enough."
"That's so. I'm just out of Bellevue
hospital; got hurt three months ago."
"I'm just out of hospital, too," he
grinned.
"What hospital?" . .
"Sing Sing." i-.i
"What! Jail?"
"Yes; not bad in winter either.
There's a society helps a fellow after
you quit that hospital; gives you good
clothes too."
"Clothes! Is that so?"
"Gets you work"—
"Work! Good God! I wish they'd
get me some."
"You ain't bad enough. Go and grab
soraetbln'. Get a short sentence; Hist
crime. Come out and get looked after
by nice ladles."
"My God!"
"Didn't they do nothin' for you when
you got out of that hospital?"
"No. Why the devil should they?
I'm only an honest mechanic. Are you
goin'?"
He felt his loneliness.
"Yes, I've got to go after that Job.
It'll give me time to look about me.
Gosh, but you look bad! Goodby."
The ruddy man rose, looked back,
jingled the few coins in Ills pocket, hes
itated and walked away whistling.
The pale man sat down on the bench,
staring down at the ragged bug of
tools ut his feet. -
SLAVES OF VAUCLUSE.
Men Who Covvnriily Di-serteil Their
Union Will Live to llotcrrl tlie Aet.
God pity the poor devils at Vaueluse!
They used to be rated as union people,
but "scabbed" at the very first oppor
tunity. Evidently they were not made
of the right kind of stuff. They were
not brave enough to stand and figlit,
but as soon as the enemy appeared
they made a break for the woods.
Trembling In every limb, they re
nounced their union principles, and,
getting down on their knees to their
masters, they licked their bands, like
puppies, and begged for work at any
price. They returned their charter,
disbanded their union and sold them
selves Into slavery.
But wait till the strike Is over. Then
the union people will get the 10 per
cent Increase in wages, but the "scabs"
at Vaueluse will have to work for the
same okl pay and may have to submit
to a reduction in wages. They did not
have sense enough tq stay in the union
ark, and sooner or later they will have
to pay the penalty for being possessed
of a superfluity of jaokassibility.
We pity tlie poor coward, but all the
world admires n brave man who Is
willing to suffer nnd greatly to dare in
the cause of truth and Justice. If the
people of Vaueluse wish to redeem
themselves and leave behind a record
of which their children will be proud,
they should ask for the return of their
charter and defend it, If need bo, with
their lifeblood, as did the people of
Connecticut the sacred charter of their
liberties.
Get up off your knees, stop hold
ing your hat in your band, take your
eyes from your master's feet and lift
them high enough to see the distant
rim of the horizon and higher still un
til you behold the blue dome of the sky,
and then go and hunt another job.—
Augusta (Ga.) Voice of Labor.
Tlie Lulxii' Loader.
Trofi ssor Felix Adler, In an address
at the Berkeley Lyceum, New York, on
"The Effects of Politics on the Labor
Question," said:
"The labor movement is freer from
sectarianism, race creed and harmful
prejudices than any other movement
before the public. He discussed the
labor leader at considerable length.
Americans, he said, had not solved the
problem of evolving a high type of
labor leaders. The evil methods of
bosslsm had its effect upon them as it
did ou political leaders.
"We have debased the Idea of lead
ership," said Professor Adler, "with
the use of that term 'public servant.'
The coming labor leader must be a
mau born to rule. He must be a man
of high purposes and possessing great
executive ability. Such a man is not
satisfied to be a 'public servant.' He
Is a leader born, nnd It Is his Inherent
nature to rule, not to obey."
A discussion followed, many of those
present taking exception to the speak
er's idea of a labor leader's duties.
Labor In Denmark.
Denmark, the country where capital
nnd labor arc best organized for fight
ing purposes. Is ill the midst of an In
dustrial struggle involving Important
possibilities. Unhappily for the work
men, their funds are reduced after the
unusual demands of the past hitter
winter. Apparently the employers wish
to make use of this opportunity to Im
pair the strength of the unions. The
trouble started when the Danish Steam
ship company ordered Its seamen to
abandon their organization.
