Sorosis sat dowu to ber December ban que* ia the new white anti gold ballroom at Sherry's. with Lady Henry Somerset a? ker honored guest. All the Sorosians fwj present, from Jenny J a oe and bei ? qootemnoragy veterans down to pretty li tile Miss Demorest and her coterie ol intellectual bods. Besides the r?gulai members there were present many guests of note, including the wife of Max OTBefl, the wife of Bishop Simpson, tb* wife of Colonel KoebKng, of Brooklyn bridge fame, and Mis. Davis. The chairman of the day, Mrs. Mar garet T. Jardley, presented for discus-_ 'rion the question: M What kind of educa? tion will best fit women for the duties of Hfe?" She pointed ont and classified thc duties of a woman's Kfe as religions, per? sonal and social, adding: "Our personal duty that we owe oar fehres, that we may make the best ol ourselves, is to ba chante, temperate, truthful, brave and free ht the condition God intends for men and women. Out social duty is simply the broadening out of ocr personal duty to our families, om neighbors, society, the state and thc country. Social dnty is the fulfilling of the law, to do unto our neighbors what ; we would have our neighbors do unto us with love in our hearts." Jenny June presented the advantage* of m literary education as a preparation for woman's duties, not as a professional means by which to make a livelihood in writing or teaching, but for its discipline and development of all faculties. Mrs. Jennie Lazier, the president of Sorosis, ' advocated the importance ol medical or physiological study as a prepa? ration for women's duties, because '"the peculiar duty of woman, one she can? not relegate to any one else, is the care of fcerch?dren, and the indispensable prepa? ration for this duty is health for herself and health to transmit to her offspring, and such knowledge as shall enable her .to retain it for both.1* Mrs. Terhrme (Marion Harland) argued the domestic education as pre-eminent in importance to women, and that while -the morals of the community and the in? tegrity ol the nation depend upon the in which the home is kept, a practical knowledge of what underlies home comfort is absolutely essential toa wefi equipped woman. Mrs. Ella Dietz Qymer said that she would answer the qoestion in a single sentence, for the kind .of education that best fitted a woman icr her duties was the education of the heart . Then Lady Somerset spoke in her rich, melodious English voice, and said: "The world is. waking up to the great differ? ence between woman's position now ?from the position she formerly held. No one would dare utter now in public the prayer of the old Scotch minister, 'We thank thee, Lord, that thou hast given us women to make us comfortable.' The old order changes, and woman's educa? tion embraces a wider outlook than ever before, in considering the question of woman's sphere and the kind of educa? tion which shall best prepare her for its duties we must -look upon her as a life giver and a law giver, of which the first is paramount Many of the ills flesh is heir to might be overcome and obliter? ated if this idea could be kept before women. The most sacred duties of life are presented to people when they are poorly prepared to find the solution of its problems. The mothers education is ?sort of moral tobogganing. The chil? dren are sent out into the world toland where they will. But we have passed beyond the old idea that ignorance is in BC^ence and knowledge necessarily vice, It is the duty of every mother to gather her girls around her and tell them all they should know,all God meant for them. .The moral , tone of the world hangs upon the moral tone of its women. When all women realise their power they win not tolerate the evils of the present-will not allow the public work of the states? men to give the fie to their private lives. They will demand that men shall be good and pure even as women are brave and true. Until women take an intelli? gent interest m politics the best men will stand aloof from political work.**-New York Sun. ??'. . Heredity ?ad Health. Ac a recent meeting of Sorosis, the well known womans club, of New York; one of the distinguished members spoke as follows: "Heredity, although a potent factor in the product of health, is not fatality. Its complement is en? vironment. Health is not a positive quanti ty. it is, tike beauty, a harmony. Symmetry is the law of its development, and education must be directed to the whole* or we shall have monstrosities either intellectual or physical. You cannot playa harmony with one finger. The harmony which thrills from the harp of life seems to come from five strings-nutrition, respiration, activity, sustenation and cerebration, and the es? sential woman's knowledge is that which governs the best development of these dements in her child.'* What ls Mott Needed in Social Fonctions. The OTpers?Hness of the "lilac teas" and the "chocolate" and "magenta" breakfasts of society is well indicated by an innocent inquiry as to the consistency of clawhammer coats and ebony waiters at a "cream white" dinner. "Why not clo the the gentlemen in white satin and 'akibastine' the waiters?" Sure enough! We are getting to be a finical, fussy peo? ple, almost too exquisite at our best for this mundane realm. A renaissance of good, sound common sense is one of the crying steeds of tile age.-Boston Com? monwealth. HIM. Bertha* Jert? floate of Birth. Mme. Sarah Bernhardt's birth certifi? cate has been found. She is not a native of Havre, as she herself supposes, but a Parisienne of the Latin Quarter. She was born in 1844, her mother being a Berlin Jewess, who was then a struggling milliner in the Bue de l'Ecole de M?de? cine, a few doors from the house where Marat was living when assassinated by Charlotte Coi lay. Her sister Jeanne is two years younger.-Pall Mall Budget Ancient Bain Making'. Paracelsus could have informed the devil, if he had not been informed, as be sara he was before, that if much alum? inous matter, with saltpeter not thor? oughly prepared, be mixed, they will .end up a cloud of smoke which will come down in rain.-Cotton Mather in Wonders of the Invisible World. Bats Scent Danger In Mines. When working in the mines the men regularly feed the rats, as they are of some use to them. The rodents always seem to scent any coming danger, such as tho falling of banks or caving in of walls, and rush out of the place, which *s a warning to ti? workmen.-New Lis? bon Patriot. Population of the World. The best statisticians place the total population of the weald, in round num? bers, at 1^00,000,000 to 1,400,000,000. Of these about ?90,000,000 are nuder con? trol of nominally Christian governments and 7M?,000,000 are under non-Christian governments.-Exchange. Cincinnati's I ucl i ned Plane*. The city of Cincinnati proper is on two planes, one called the "Bottom," 60 feet, and the other 112 feet, above low watermark in the river. This# with the exception of New York and Boston, is the most densely populated area in the Onion. Owing to the contracted dimen? sions of the plains, population is rapidly extending on to the river hills. These are nearly 400 feet above the city, and take one on to the general level of the country. Besides roads leading to their summits, there are in all four inclined railway planes-on the north, east and west-where by stationary engines at the top people are taken np, sometimes nearly a hundred in a car, and in ninety seconds. They are hauled np by a wire rope large as one's wrist, which winds around a drum with a monotonous hum? ming sound, quick resounding, as though in a hurry to get }*ou up. An extra rope is attached to each car as a precau? tion in case the one in use should break. -Howe's Historical Collections of Ohio. A Collection of Scalps. The National museum has a very large collection of scalps, and it is wonderful to think what tragic tales they would have to tell if they could only speak. One of them is a crown of real golden hair with a circle of skin attached reft from the head of a little German girl at the Mountain Meadows massacre. In spots it is stained with the victim's blood -a pitiful reminder. Of the same party of honest pioneers may have been the man from whose caput a shock of black and curly locks was torn; it forms a part of the exhibit. There are many other scalps of white people and Indians-the former mostly curly and readily distinguishable from the straight black hair of the aborigines. The long tresses of women, blond and brunette, suggest, to the mind imagin? ings none too fearful of tragedies, with outrage and torture as a preliminary. A single warriors trophy bears pendent twelve scalps, each representing a mur? der.-Washington Star. W. G. STUBBS WILL PAY HIGHEST CASH PRICES FOR ALL KINDS OF F JJ M S . Call on him at Levi Bros.'

It forces the crops to early maturity and largely increases the yield, and I am confident that it perma? nently improvfs the land. I expect to ose three car-loads the coming season. Very truly yours. T. J ROBERTS. Hallsville, N. C, October 31st. 1891. Mr. S O. Middleton. Dear Sir: The Home "Fertilizer" bought of you in the Spring was the best I ever used. I used 2J formulas on 7 acres and the Cotton was the liest I have ever made. I hate used several brands of guano but none equal this. Yours truly, D.D.BROWN. Selkirk, S. C., Sept. 27th, 1890 Mess.
