ATIENCE. They were
two women. Clever
wen.' "And for oath
in my life I was the
listener. They were
discussing to-day—its
follies and its foibles,
its vices and its lack of
virtue, its loudness. and
its extreme stillness.
® One of them called it
theage of anaesthetics—
the other said it was the age of extreme
contrast, but they agreed in calling it the
age of vulgarity.
Said else : " I dimly remember when to
be in society meant the possession of some,
virtue or talent. If yon were giupid you
were received because you were good ; if
you were ugly you were welcome because
you were bright. If you were both stupid
and ugly you got a welcome just the same
if your manners were good. A number of
people were welcome because their grand-
fathers and grandmothers had always been,
but, above everything else, it was demanded
that your manners should be good. To -day
nobody cares anything about manners.
THE FASHIONABLE WOMAN KICKS

" It is tbo age of commerce. And the
woman who is polite, courteous and' eensid-
erate, ashen she is a woman ie the social
swim, is so for value received. The trade
instinct is strong in her, and even in her
love affairs she does not write scraps of
poetry about the man she secretly adores,
but under lock and key she keeps, not a
book of opinions er poems, but a bank book,
and the cashier at the bank could probably
read the riddle of that in a way that would.

" But," said the other, " how do you ac-

ARE WE PROGRESSING TOO FAST?
"In this. way Women talk to men about
things they wouldn't have whispered to
each other 25 years. ago. My mother says
that when she was a girl if such a thing as
a scandal came arout in the neighborhood
it was barely whispered, the young people
knew nothing about it, and the evil doers
kept out of society altogether or went
abroad to hide their shame. Nowadays
there is apparently no such thing as,
evildoing. The dictionary has changed all
that. Spades become familiar things, and
naturally the rake and the hoe are equally
combined with it. To call a spade a spade
may be desirable occasionally, but the
average woman doesn't have to be thrown
much with spades, and there is no reason
why she need lard her conversation with
the story of their existence."

TILE REX MORAL CLASSES.
Now, these women were no better, .nor
any worse, than their friends end acquaint.
antes, but each of them saw the exact con-
dition of society, bewailed it, and neither,
seemed to realize the, value of a little
leaven. The advantage that one woman
might be if she would insist on the society
in her house being that which is called
good 1 Somebody has said that the women
of the day are its prophets, and, if that is
true, the outlook isn't very good. How-
ever, the one encouragement in it all is that,
among the great middle classes, virtue is
esteemed and vice despised ; that the people
who make what is called society in a large
city are comparatively few in number, and
that, from the orange groves of the South,
the prairies of the West and the forests of
the North, there is a continual outpour of
good, healthy -minded men, who will en'
courage women to be what they ought to
be, i. e., the inspirers of all that is good
and beautiful., It may sound a bit exag-
gerated, that, last sentence, but it's true
and the truth is frequently as wonderful as
a lie. -
THE CAUSE OF IT ALL.
When women were what men wished
them to be, they were good mothers, good
wives and goon friends. Now that every
man is occupied in seeing how much he can
make, and women are left to// look atter
themselves, the result of the liable of the
influence is not onlyseen .but felt; and it

and thought: "An honest man is the noblest
work of God." You smile at this and say
that the straightening up of the world is
none of your business. Isn't it ? Then, is
it your neighbor's, or hisneighbor's? I tell
you, my friend, that it is your business,
and mine, and we are going to be held re-
aponaible for it.

" Then," answered the other woman,
" you put a deal of it on the people who
write. I do myself. But what can you
do ? Somebody writes you up personally,
writes a series of lies about you. You are
made wretched. But knowing your world,
you realize that explanation is always a
blunder. That though society laughs, and
your enemies were delighted at the scoring
that you have received, still that friends
and foes alike would forget it in another
twelve hours,uniess you attempt to explain,
and then it would be a case of charge and
counter -charge, and thatyou-will bo doing

nothing ; or if he lives and'co`mmits such an
indiscretion as having it discovered that ho

knows. The finding ont is the criminal
part."
RELT(:IOUS' BELIEFS IN SOCIETY.
" It•seems to Me," said the first woman,
" that a school to teach manners would do
something for the morals of the country.,
We have no right to excuse people who
have bad manners on the ' plea -of their

sinner is much more desirable as an every-

sonally, I question whether the rude saints
will get to heaven or not. Good manners
are inspired by consideration, which is the
greatest of all virtues.

A Cow miner.
A machine was received at the Custom
House yesterday, says a New York contem-`
porary, which it is claimed will revolu-
tionize the dairy industry and do away with
that useful adjunct of every -Well-regu-
lated farm, the hired hand who does the
milking.' Tho machine was imported
from Glasgow, Scotland. The machine, it
is claimed, will milk 30 cows in one hour.
It is constructed on the vacuum principle,
and when adjusted, to the cow the milk
flews in a continuous stream. The
machine does the work without assistance.
The apparatus received yesterday is said
to be the first one ever brought to this
country and its use will be in the nature of
an experiment at first. The machine is
I krgely used in Scotland, Ad its practica-
bility has been long ago demonstrated. The
one imported yesterday is valued at $55 in
Scotland, but the duties paid upon it added
$45, making the total cost $100.

Unearinal Justice in the Oourts of Greg
Britain.
The following are extracts from an
address by Lady Henry Somerset : It is
characteristic of this age that evil is no
longer considered a necessity. That I
•believe to be the greatest credo that the
nineteenth century has formulated. We
have all along said that it is necessary that
sin should be; that it is necessary that:
suffering should exist ; t to -day we see
that there is no such necsity according to
God's laws, and by God's help we are to see
that that necessity than have no record. It
is upon these lines that iwe are working.
We are breaking down the barriers thet
have long hedged up creeds and national-
ities. We are going into wider fields and
reali.z g'that which we have so long been
looking for, that men and women every-
where, call themselves by what .name they
will, let them inhabit whatever country
under the sun, are bound together in that
grand name, humanity.
As I walked through the Bowery of New
York, and saw the miseries there in that
modern city, I felt that the new world had
• some of our greatest difficulties to meet and
some of our weightiest problems to face
when yon see the on -marching growth of
that splendid country, the power and riches
of those western cities that arise almost as
by magic from the prairies, then we realize
that the greatest curse in America is this\
same miserable liquor traffic, and that their`
mightiest problems are the same with which
we have to do battle over here. We draw
a long breath when we get bo America,
beeanse we feel that we are at any rate in a
country where there is room for everybody.
THE INFLUX OF ALIENS.
We dare not stand on any platform
England and say that the drink traffic is the
sole source of poverty.; indeed, we weaken
our cause if we do. There is no statemerit
that does ao much harm to our holy work
•aa this. -There are correlating eauses that
we need to take into consideration. There
is the great labor question, there is 'the
housing of the poor, and there are a thou-
sand other things that belong to the work
of the true reformer. In America you
realize that the liquor traffic' hat d..ne a
harm which Is probably almost incalculable,
because there is room and workforallatroug
and industrious men and women, and
yet there are men and women strug-
gling even in great and prosperous cie
like Chicago. They have difficulties to con-
tend- with of which we know nothing. The
great alien population with which America
is flooded renders it ono of the most difficult
countries for philanthropic work. Yon talk
glibly of America, but America means the
problems of four er five nationalities rolled/
into one. We send our hopeless ones over
there and expect the Americans to refor
these men and women. We are giving the
a desperate task. There is probably not
ing more unyielding to deal with than t e
flood of an idle, incoming population.
AMERICAN WOMEN DO NOT DRINK.
But there is one feature in America, hat
I tell you, friends, if I coul(l see in 'En nd
to -day, I would willingly sacrifice my
right hand ; nay, more, I onld
give almost everything I ossess -
in life. Go where you will the
lowest quarters of New York or in C icago ;
go where you will through any cit in that
great oountry and you will never witness
scenes.n any saloon that at all eq, a1 what
you see\in this country. Yet/ may -go
right through the saloons of America
and no woman would dare open that
door save . one who ad cash
away every rag of respectability. It would
beimpossible, in an afternoon' walk, for a
young, man and woman to tur in together
to take a drink. There is a popular senti-
ment in America on the ijue tion of women
;drinking and I would that my one-third of
such eentiment as that ex' ed here. During
the six months that I spent there only at
one table d'hote did I ever/see a woman touch
wine or beer. I have neV er seen a woman
in any private house put one single drop of
wine Into her glass an brink it. It . would
bo well for us if the/ we had done
could claim such results as that.
WOMEN'S B./'GIIT TO VOTE.
Wo hear a greatdeal about the immense
advantage we are Ing to have when we
get the popular vo e- I thank God I be-'
lieve that vote will bring an unadulterated
blessing on this nation. I' look on it as the
first streak of /dawn upon the horizon.
There are people who tell us that the mil-
lennium will begin when we get the vote.
All we shall then have is j:Istice for the,
'working classes and righteousness for
humanity. The struggle in America is just
here ; we thank they have temperance
1egialation unless the women can
uphold that legislation it is too
often null and 'void. We fight
because there is injustice. I hear women
who are surrounded by every luxury say,
' T do not sant to vote.' No, -but the toil-
ing sister in that factory wants to vote. I.
hear women say, ' What advantage is it•
going to bring?' None to those in the
home circle who have men who love and
protect them ; but when we read to -day I!
that a man in Durham who killed his wife
by striking her on the head with. a poker,
received only nine months' imprisonment,
but that a young girl, in the frenzy of
shame that lay before her, under the
great Gethsemane of suffering -she was
called upon to bear alone, although
another had equally participated in her sin
—who in the misery of that awful moment
smothered her new-born babe, received the
penalty -of death commuted only to penal
servitude for life, say` that woman's voice is
wanted in this case—(cheese)-and that th'e
woman's vote' to -day means for us home
protection. 1 de not think t,hat any one
will ever accuse me of wanting to advocate
that women should be unsexed, because I
believe that the truest strength of woman
is in he • womanliness ; but I do believe
that no man dares to draw aline where the
woman's protection of her child shall end.
