Dr. 'Talmage Denher-es That There is No Justice in the Principle That Women Shall Deceive Only Half or Two -Th Irds Fay for. the Same IVork as Men. Washington, Marcli 11. — This dis- course of Dr. Talmage is an appeal for mercy in behalf of . oppreseeti woinanhood, and offers encourage- ment to tboseugg g live- lihood; text, Ecclesiastes iv,, 1, "Be- hold the tears of such as were op' pressed, and they had no comforter." Very long ago the needle was busy. Ite. was considered honorable for wo- men. to teil in olden times. Alexan:- der '3 the r,:reat stood in his place showing garments made by his own mother. The finesjt tapestries at Bayeux 'Seem made y the queen of Wlluliun . e Conqteror. Augustus the emper r would not wear any gar- ments ex pt those that were fas- hioned by some member of his royal fanaily.- let the toiler everywhere be respec d! The nee e has slain more theta the sword. When the sowing machine was inven ed, some thought that in- vention w uld alleviate woman's toil - and put •a end to the deepotism of the needle But no; while the sew- ing machi e has been a great blessing to well to do families in many cases, it has ad ed to the stab of the need- le the cru1i of the wheel, and multi- tudes of • omen, notwithstanding the re-enforcen ent of the sewing mach- ine, can only make, work hard as they will, between $2 and $3 a week. The gre test blessing that could have hap ened to our first parents was being turned out of Eden after they had • one wrong. Adam and Eve in the'r perfect state might have gOt along ithout work or only such slight em • loyment as a perfedt gar- den with o weeds in it demanded, but as so on as they had sinned the best thing for them was to be turn- ed out N here they would have to -Work. W know what a withering thing it is for a man to have noth- ing to do. Of the 1,000 prosperous and honor ble men that you know ! 999 had ti work vigorously at the beginning. • But I am now to tell you that i dustry is just as import- ant for a voman's safety and happi- ness. Th most unhappy vvonien in our corm/ unities to -day are those who have no engagements to call them up ii the morning, who once having ris:n and breakfasted lounge through th dull forenoon in slippers down at t e heel and with dishevel- ed hair, re ding the last novel, and who, hat ing - dragged through a wretched f irenoon and -taken their\af- ternoon sl ep and having pessed an hour and half at their toilet, pick up their ca dcase and go out to make calls, and who pass their evenings waiting fo somebody to come in and break up the monotony. Arabella, Stuart nev r was imprisoned. in so dark a d •geon as that. There is no happiness' in an idle woman. It may be with hand, it may be wi h brain, it .may be with foot, but work she must or be wretched f rever. The little girls of our fain lies mut be started with that idea,. The curse of American society is tat our young women are taught tha the first, second, third, fourth, fift , sixth, seventh, tenth, fiftieth, tho sandth thing in their liie Is to get s mebody to take care oi them. Is ead of that the first les- son should be how under God they may take care of themselves. The simple fact is that a majority of them do v to take care of them- selves and that, too, after having through t e false notions of their parents wa ted the years in which they ought to have learned hoW suc- cessfully t maintain themselves. We now an here declare the inhum- anity, cruelty and Outrage of that father and mother who pass their daughters into womanhood having given them xio facility for earning their livelihood. Mme. de etael said, "It is not these writings th t I am .proud of, but the fact 'that I have facility in ten tee- cupations n any one of which I could make a livelihood." You say you have a fortune to leave them. 0 man and woman! Have you not , learned th t, like vultures, like ' hawks, like eagles, riches have wings and fly aw y? Though you should be successful in leaving a competen- cy behind y o u, the trickery of execu- tors may s amp it in a night, or some anent, s in our churches may get up a mi ing company and induce your orphan to put their money into a hole in Co orado and if by the most skillful mac inery the sunken money cannot be brought up again prove to them that i was eternally decreed that that wi.s the way they were to lose it and hat it went in the most orthodox a d heavenly style. There are women toiling in our cities for $21 or $8 a week who were the daughte s of merchant princes. These suffer • 0 91 ng ones mow would .be glad to have the crumbs that once t fell from their father's table. That tt wornout, broken shoe that she -wears A is the lineal descendt anof the $12 t •t dr 1 THE !Lwow ExPosirroit islg inenimoratne worn, 1 shall par- tietilerize. Y ou may knit a tidy for the back. of an armchair, but by no means make the money wherewith to hey the chair. You may with a de- licate brush beautify a mantel orna- ment, but die rather than earn en- ough to buy a marble Mantel. 'You may learn' artistic nausic until you. can squall but never sing : "Ortonville"' or "Od Hundredth." Do nothing practical if you would, in the eyes of relined society, preserve your respectability. I scout these finical notions.' Zell you a woman, no more than a man, has a right to occupy a, place in this world unless she pays a rent for it. If we want a place in this world, we moot earn it. The partridge makes its own nest before it accords' it. The lark by its morning eons earns its breakfast before it eater it and the Bible gives') an intimatioa that the first duty of an idler is to starve when it says, "If he will aot work, neither shall he eat." Idle- ness ruins the health, and very e6en nature says: ."rhis man has refused to pay bis rent. Out with him," Society is to be reconstructed oa the subject of woman's toil. A vast majority of those who would have woman industrious shut her up to few kinds of work. My judgment this matter is that a woman has right to do anything she can d ! well. There should be no doper -merit of merchandise, mechanism, ar or science barred against her. I Miss Hosnier has genius for sculptur give her a chisel. If Rosa Bonheu has a fondness for delineating ani male, let her make "The Hor Fair." If Miss Mitchell will stud astreporay, let her mount the starr ladder.- If Lydia will be a merchant ! let hey sell purple. If Lucretia -Mot will preach the gospel, let her thril with her womanly eloquence the Qua ker meeting house. It is said if woman is given suc opportunities she will occupy places that might be taken by men. I sa if she have more skill and adapted Hann of our citiesare the employers . of these women. They beat them down to the last penny and try to " cheat them out of that The woman must deposit a dollar or two ,before she gets the garments . to work on. When the work le done, it is sharply inspected, the most insignificant flaws picked out and the wag's retailed and Sometimes the dollar _deposited not given back. The Women's Protective union reports a case where one of the poor .souls, finding a place where she could get more wages, resolved to change employers and went to get her pay for work done. The employ- er said, "I hear you are going to leave me?" "Yes," she said, "and I have come to get what you Owe me." He made n� answer, She said, "Are yen not going to pay me?" "Yes," he -Said, "I will pay you," and he kicked her down. stairs. Oh, that Women's Protective union! The blessings of heaven be on it for the merciful and divine work it is doing in the defense of toiling wo- manhood. What tragedies of suffer- ing are presented to them every. day! A paragraph from their report: "Can you make Mr. Jones pay me? He owes me three weeks at $2.50 a week, and I can't get anything and a my child is very sick.' The speaker, in, a young woman lately. widowed, a : burst into a flood of tears as she o spoke. 'She was bidden to come t, again the next afternoon and repeat t her Story to the attorney at his Usu- 1 al weekly, .hearing of frauds and im- e positions. - Means were found by which Mr. Jones was induced to pay - the $7,50." Se Another , paragraph: "Her mortifi- y cation may "be imagined when told Y that one_ of the two $5 bills which she had just received for her work t was counterfeit. . But her mortifica- 1 tion .was swallowed up with indig- - nation -when her employer denied hav- ing paid her the money and insulting - h ly asked her to prove it When the Protective union had placed the mat- y - ter in the courts,, , the judge said, - 'You will pay Eleanor the amount of ness for any position than a ma has, let her have it! She has a much right to her bread, to , her ap parel and to her home as men have But it is said that her nature is s delicate that she is unfitted for exhausting toil. I ask In the name of all past history what toil on earth is more severe exhausting and tremendous than that toil of the needle to which for ages she has been subjected? The batter ing ram, the sword, the carbine, tho battleax, have made no such havoc as the needle. I would that these living sepulchers in which women have for ages been buried might be opened and that some resurrection trunipet might bring up these living corpses to the fresh air and sunlight. Go with me and I will show you a woman who by hardest toil supports her children, her drunken husband, her old father and mother, pays her house rent, always has wholesome food on her table, and when she can get some neighbor on the Sabbath to come in and take care of her family appears in church with hat and cloak that are far from indicating e toil to whi h she is subjected. Such a woman ae that has body and soul enough to fit her for any posi- tion. She could stand beside the majority of your salesmen and dis- pose of more goods. She could go into your wheelwright shops and beat one-half of your workmen at making carriages. We talk about women as though we had reigned to her all the light, work and ourselves had shouldered the heavier. But the day of judgment, which will reveal the sufferings of the stake and inqui- sition, - will marshall before the, throne of God and the hierarchs of heaven the martyrs of washtub and needle. • I go still further and say that wo- man should have equal compensation with man. By what principle of jus- tice is it that women in many of our cities get only two-thirds as much pay as men and in many cases only half? Here is a gigantic injus- tice—that for work equally well if not better done woman receives far less compensation than man.. Start with the national ,government. Wo- men clerks in Washington get $900 for doing that for which men receive $1,800. The wheel .of oppression is rolling over the necks of 'thousands of women who are at this moment in despair about what they are to do. Many of the largest mercantile estab- lishments of our cities are accessory to these abominations, and from their large establishments there are scores of souls being pitched off into death, and their employers 'know it. Is there a. God? Will, there be a judg- ment? I- tell you if God rises up to woman's wrongs many of our large establishments will be swallow. ed up quicker than a South American earthquake ever took down a city. God will catch these oppressors be- tween the two millstones of his wrath and grind them to powder. Why is it that a female principal in a school gets only $825 for doing work for which a male principal gets $1,659? I hear from all this land the wail of womanhood. Man has noth- ing to answer to that wail but flat- teries. He says she is an angel. She is not. She knows she is not. She is a human being Who gets hungry when she has no food and cold when she has no fire. Give her no more atteries. Give her justica Oh, the housands of sewing itirlsit Across he sunlight coMes their death groan t is not such a cry as conies from hose who are suddenly hurled out f life, but a slow, grinding, horrible asting away. Gather them before ou look into their faces, pinched, hastly, hunger struck. Look at heir fingers, needle pricked and lood tipped. See thatpremature toop in the shoulders. Hear that y, hacking, Merciless cough. At _ a arge meeting qf these women hold in is her claim, $5.83, and a_so the costs s of the court." a How are these evils to be eradic,at- . ed? Some say, "Give woman the o ballot." What effect s ch ballot might have on other queeti ns I am not here to discuiis, but whh.t would be the effect of female suffrage on , women's wages? I do not believe that woman will ever get justice by woman's ballot. Indeed women op- - press women as much as men. do. Do not women, as much as men, beat down te the lowest figure the woman ._ who sews 1 or them? Are not women as sharp as men on washerwomen and milliners and menthe rin kers. . Poets are fond of talking about man as an Oak and woman the eine that climb e it, but I have sn inany a tree fall that not only went down it- self, but took all the vines with it. I can tell you of something stronger than an oak for an ivy to climb on, and that is the throne of the great jehovala Single or affiEllced, that _ woman is strong who leans on God and does her best. Many of you will go single handed through life, and you will have to choose between two characters.

That our young cape the censure of do - Philadelphia grand speeches were de- livered, but a needlewoman took the stand, threw aside her faded shawl and -with her shriveled arra hurled a. very thunderbolt of eloquence, speak- ing out the horrors of her own ex- perience. Years ago, one Sabbath night 3..in the vestibule of our church, after ser- vice; a woman fell in convulsions. The doctor said she needed medicine not so much as something to eat. As she began to revive in her delirium she said gaspingly: "Eight cents! I wish I could get it done. I ain so tired. I wish I could get some sleep, but I must get it done. Eight cents! Eight cents!" We found afterwards that she was making garments for 8 cents apiece and that ehe could make but three of them in a day. Hear it! Three times eight are .24.

Back ' in the Id i . l'r,,,zeisl. :;8 tecri before Columbus : • ' ..d on his famous voyage, a wen. was bright enough to. think' of s plan to save her husband and his e)llowe ers. This is the earliest autrieliticat- ed instance of the scheme. i The lamians drove nails into the walls of their cottages as an antidote for -the plague. The 4r1s believe that the evil geni whie reeds the simoon upon them can be appeased by the shout, "Iron, ironi!" and when overtaken by that stormthat* is the cny they ritise. The candinavlan constantly carries in th bottom of his boat an open knife .o nail ,driven in a reed' to ward off the water spir- its. Many nations hftvel long held • that iron is a potent br er of the i spell of witchcraft, so t e inding of old iron is lucky, and as oll iron is mostly found in the shae of horse- shoes, and as the horses o is the lucky crescent shape, t e horsesho. has come to be considered a lucky emblent. In English folk lore horses were looked upon as luck -bringers, and in Yorkshire it is still thought that a -disease may be cured by burying a h'orse alive, while in som rural dis- tricts it is a common plactice to place horses' hoofs under he beds of invaliels to cure diseases. Near the close of the last Century - the belief in the power of horseshoes reached its height and in the West Eid of Lon- don a horseshoe wits nailejd over the door of almost every hous . 3 Fifty years later there- N: ere bu4 half - as many, and the pre ent da sees only a scant few, as ucation overrides seperstition. 0 ver the door of 1 one of he princi- pal churches of Surfolk a prominent horseshoe was worIed into the archi- to tecture, probably with t e' idea of keeping the witches ut. At Ithat time, 50 years ago, many chui1ches had horseshoes nailed over the Ioors. The Irish peasants mdclify th custom and nail horseshoes On the lihresholds, planting cloves of wild garlic over the door. There is a prey iling cus- tom of affixing a 1 horseshoe to the foremasts of ships, and in ny of the most famous battleShips have carried this emblem in the Past. THE BED‘f:IME STORY. Sheulti He Soothing and Restful for the Tired Little Brain.. "If mothers only realized how much of the restlessness of children during , the night was due: to overwrought brains they would i be more careful in the choice of the bedtime stories,"; said the thoughtful mother. "I wish I Ns -ere able to Nrri te all the go -to -sleep stories t he t are told to the lit Ile ones a4 over the land." she contiitrtotl. It Makes no pied, itst ly sad to think of the small brain that. are filled ith distorted iiiia6:es,„ hobgoblins, Ogres, giants and the like,, just as reason ie losing its hold upon them for severial hours "I don't think ! inothex's ' realize what an influence upon a child's life after it has ceased to be a child, is exerted by this apparently trifling matter of how it goes to steep. "Every night when I catch my lit- tle daughter working off the big thoughts that sweep over her brain as her tired body begins to relax, while her mentality seems to be briefly and proportionately stimulat- -ed, I tremble to think of the harm that could be done to her or any child—for mine is not an abnormal child in .any way — by an ignorant nurse or thoughtless parent. "The fact that every normal child cries out for a bedtime story shows that its mental nature needs it, just as its physical nature craves sweets. You want to give your child pure - candy, so give him the adulterated story. "Leave out the fearful personali- ties, the grim and gigantic figures; these, even if they are properly van- quished by the gallant hero, are too distinct for the crib -side tale. "Sit down by your little one's bed and speak softly and evenly. :Weave a fanciful but quiet story, that tells of pretty streams and birds and lov- ing little boys and girls—these woo sleep to the weary, but active, little brain, not with the suffocating pres- sure of the ,gatherings storm; lit with lurid flashes, but with the soft clouds of the sunset horizon, that change from rosy pink to tender enveloping gray, ando:radually deepen Into rest- ful gloom.

Consumption always begins with a neg- lected cold, and how dreadful must be the misery of every mother whose dear ones fall prey to this monster as a result of mother's neglect to cure the cold. It is rarely that : consumption is ever cured, but it can always be prevented by a timely use of Dr. Chase's Syrup of Linseed and Turpentine, the most popular and far- famed remedy for throat auditing disetsee.
