WOMAN'S WORLD.
WHERE WOMAN MUST STOOP
TO CONQUER.
Women as Money Makers Discussed—
How His Wife Trapped Him—
Why the Girls Don’t Marry—
What the Boston Girls are
Finding Out.
Gail Hamilton says that when a
woman has to concern herself with
the material necessities of life she
descends from a higher plane than
man. She is often forced to de
scend. She must often stoop to
conquer. Humanity has made im
mense strides since it was first heard
of, but it has a great way yet to go
iiefore it reaches the repose of per
fect harmony and crowns a finished
world. The angel in man has fatal
ly bruised the head of the brute in
man but the brute still bites at the
head of the angel. As between the
angel and the brute I think our own
country leads the world. The un
questionable claim of woman, the
deference due to woman, the sacred
ness of her physical inferiority and
of her spiritual superiority, are not
only a commanding instinct, but a
clearly defined American manhood.
A thousand, violations on the part
of both men and women do not an
nihilate this fact. Thousands of
women earn their own living, thous
ands of wives working harder than
self-supporting maidens, thousands
of both doing their work with or
without protest, nay, even with re
joicing, do not affect the fact. Even
America, advanced as it is, has not
reached the ideal life. D is much
that we have reached a point where
we can catch glimpses of the prom
ised land
At first sight it seems idle to say
to women who are wearing them
selves out in doing work that should
bo done by servants, or to a world
in which a large part of the house
hold work not only, but of outside
work as well, is done by women,
that ultimately and ideally they
ought not to work at all. But in
any comparison ot their effective
ness with that ot men it certainly
shlvild never be forgotten, it should
alway’s bo kept well in sight, that
however unsuccessful their efforts,
it is in a field which they are not
made to cultivate. It is better that
they cultivate that fieid than they
be idle in their own, or that they
starve in their neighbors’. Many
women arc not sufficiently develop
ed to discern their own peculiar
work. Without discerning it they
do a great deal of it instinctively in
the lower fields where they tire forc
ed to live, but from which they will
one day he graduated. But always
it should be held up on all sides to
the light that woman’s real work is
on character, her surest weapon is
influence. She can buy and seil.
and cook and sew, and wash and
iron, because she is still of the earth
earthly; but she cannot do it so
well as a man because she is not so
much ef an earth creature as he.
Asa matter ot fact, even in this fa
vored country, where men pay to
women, as women, not as ladies or
belles, or beauties, an extraordi
nary amount ot deference, the mass
of wives work as hard as the mass of
husbands. Their spiritual superi
ority is signified chiefly in trus—
that the women work for love, the
men for money. The spiritual ad
vance made by man is seen chiefly
in this that so much of the money
he earns goes to the ministry of re
finement, education, embellishment,
to the wife and children whom he
loves. But the woman secs no
money for her toil. Her sufficient,
her ample reward is in a husband,
content, happy, growing in grace;
in children, bounding to gracious
maturity. The unmanned woman
works tor necessity, for love of her
dependent ones, for love of some
beautiful or beneficient profession,
lor sweet mercy and charity to the
ignorant, lor horror of dependence
upon those on whom she has no
claim—seldom for business, ambi
tion or material accumulation. The
woman who fails iu her business is
not necessarily the woman who
sinks beneath the toil of the kitch
en, or who pricks her life out with
the needle, oi who cannot make
both ends meet in a dry goods es
tablishment or a milliner’s shop.
Such a woman fails in man’s busi
ness, not in her own. The woman
who makes a real failure—a failure
in her own business—is the unloved
woman, the ungracious woman, the
grasping, the selfish, the repressive,
the unsympathizing, the censorious,
the untruthful, the woman who is a
center of discomfort, a source of anx
iety, an object of avoidance, instead
ot being that gentle, consoling and
motherly magnet which draws unto
itself all human want, and woe, and
bliss and aspiration.
Miracuous Escape.
W. W. Reed, druggist, of Win
chester. Ind., writes: “One of my
customers. Mrs. Louisa Pike, Barto
nia Randolph Cos., Ind., was a long
sufferer with consumption, and was
given up to die by her physicians.
She heard of Dr. King's New Dis
covery for consumption, and began
buying it of me. In six months'
time she walked to this city a dis
tance of six miles, and is now so
much improved she has quit using
it. She feels she owes her life to it.”

COAST DEFENCES.
View of General C. P. Stone —Fortifica-
tion an Insurance Measure.
N. Y. Commercial Adve-tiser.
General C. P. Stone was asked
this morning what he thought of the
views expressed by Sir Andrew
Clarke in commenting upon an ar
ticle in the London Times of Mon
day, concerning the report of the
United States board of fortifications.
Sir Andrew Clarke advocated a sys
tem of coast defenses which should
neglect fortifications and rely tor its
efficacy upon heavy guns protected
simply by pits whence they can be
raised for firing and operated from a
distance by electric appliances.
General Stone replied as follows:
“The question ot American coast
defence is quite too important to he
fairly discussed in a short interview.
It involves great national interest,
and has been the subject of years of
study by the best military engineers
in the country. In the first place
this seems to me a question which
concerns America ami the safety of
American harbors and coasts; and
the hasty opinion of a British writer
in the London Times are hardly to be
respected, when opposed to the care
fully formed opinions of competent
American officers and officials.
“The British writer states that the
sum required by the board, over
£2.’,000,000 sterling, is out of all
proportion to the defensive require
ments ot the United States. 1 know
nothing about the opportunities this
writer in the Times has had foresti
mating the sum necessary for the
defenses of our coast, but in my
humble opinion, after having given
much study to the matter, I do not
believe a proper degree of safety can
be assured for a less sum, and 1
should be pleased to see even a lar
ger sum provided to be expended
within the next tew years.
“Not consideing tiio humiliation
and disgrace which would come to us
by the capture, or forced ransom of
even one of our greater commercial
ports, the, expenditure of $150,000,-
000 would be onl}’ a wise and pru
dent financial operation of insurance,
such as would certainly be adopted
by ahy business man in reference to
his property.
“The ransom of New York city
alone would probably bo double this
sum. That of the city -t Boston
would not he much less, and so on
wi'h Batimore, Bnn New
Orleans, Portland,* Maine, Charles
ton and other ports.
“But aside from the pecuniary
question of ransom, there is the pe
cuniary question of the demoraliza
tion of trade and all enterprises
which would result from the capture
of even one large city. The unpor
tance of this consideration can hard
ly be estimated.
“In respect to the expression ot
opinion by Sir Andrew Clarke, I
would, with due respect state that it
is hardly wise to receive as ver}’
valuable the opinions of any man,
however inteligent and well inform
ed, who has a special plan of his
own to put in practice, and who dis
cards the views of ail others. In the
case ot Sir Andrew, as in that of the
writer in the time, I would not give
much weight to the opinion of any
British * authority on our fortifica
tions, when the opinion favors leav
ing our coasts in a defenseless posi
tion.”

The readers of the Advertiser will
be pleased to learn that there is at
least one dreaded disease that science
has been able to cure in all its sta
ges, and that is Catarrh. Hall’s Ca
tarrh Cure is the only positive cure
now known in the medical fraterni
tv. Catarrh being a constitutional dis
ease requires a constitutional treat
ment. Hall’s Catarrh Cure is taken
internally, acting directly upon the
blood and mucus surfaces of the sys
tem, thereby destroying the founda
tion of the disease and giving the
patient strength, by building up the
constitution and assisting nature in
doing its work. The Proprietors
have so much faith in its curative
powers that they offer one hundred
dollars, for any case it tails to cure.

HAZENDEAD!
THE END OF THE CHIEF OF
THE SIGNAL SERVICE.
A Sudden Cold, Taken at the Presi
dent’s Diplomatic Reception,
Gives Him a Relapse, and
He Goesto Bed to Die.
General W. B. Hazen, chief signal
officer, U. S. A. died at Washington
of diabetes, at eight o’clock on the
the 16th lust. He had suffered from
diabetes for some years, but of late
had improved in health and strength
and hopes were entertained of his
complete recovery. At the recep
tion of the diplomatic corps given
by the president, he took a severe
cold, causing him to keep his bed
on tiie 14th. On the 15th instant
he was up, and reported himself
much improved, saying that he
would go to his office on Monday.
On Sunday morning, his physician,
P. F. Harvey, U. S. A., was sum
moned to see him soon after day
light. lie at once repaired to his
rooms, and found an alarming
change in his condition, suggesting
poisoning of Lite blood. He at once
adopted measures to overcome this
condition, and restore strength.
Consultation was also at once sought
with Dr. D. L. Huntington, of the
ar il}’, who agreed in the main with
the attending physician. The case
was deemed of so extreme gravity
that his relatives in the city were
informed, and they at once gather
ed about him and spared no effort
to bring him relief. Some improve
ment resulted from the treatment,
but towards evening his symptoms
became aggravated, and at the re
quest of his family, Dr. Lincoln met
Drs. Harvey and Huntington in
consultation. Every measure that
skill or science could suggest failed
to rally the sinking officer, and he
breathed his hist at eight o’clock in
the evening. His final illness was
not accompanied by suffering, and
his death was calm and without
struggle.
Information of General Ilazen’s
death was conveyed immediately by
Colonel Huntington and Captain
Greely to the secretary of war, who
communicated the sad intelligence
to the president. The general of the
army, who was advised ot the death
by telegram, will be conferred with
by Captain Greely in behalf of Gen
eral Ilazen’s family, as to the mili
tary honors to be paid the deceased.
Owing to the delicate condition of
Mr. McLane’s health, the funeral
will take place from St. John’s
John's church. Mrs. Hazen, who is
in France, lias been notified by ca
ble, and will return immediately to
America.
Two Crutches.
I have only a few words to say,
which are to state that I have been
confined to my bed for two months
with what we ealld Nervous Rheu
matism or Sciatca. I was only ena
bled to hobble about occasionally
by the use of crutches, and in this
condition 1 commenced the use of B.
B. 8., 4 bottles of which enabled me
to discard the use of my crutches
and to attend to business. I had
previously used all well receommen
ded medicines without relief. It has
been over two monts since using B.
B. 8., and I consider myself a per
manently cured man.

England and Her Colonic*.
The population of the British em
pire is said to be 316,000,000, of
which only 37,000,000 are in the
British Isles. There are at least
10,000,000 people ot British descent
residing in Canada, Australia, South
Africa and New Zealand, all four of
which, from the extent of their ter
ritorial possessions and resources,
may become powerful nations.
Twenty years hence, at less than
the present rate of increase, these
colonies will contain 20,000,000, and
the British Isles 40,000,000, and in
another twenty years the colonies
will have a population greater than
the mother country. These facts
give importance to the proposed im
perial federation of which the con
ference of the representatives of the
several colonies in London next
j )*ear is a preliminary step. At the
| present relative race ot increase of
the population of the mother eoun-
try and her colonies the time must
come when the centre of political
power will pass from the former to
the latter, and the cultivation of close
relations between them exhibits po
litical wisdom and foresight. Two
specific considerations are to be
submitted to the conterence of colo
nial governors next year. One is
the defensive measure mutually
necessary tor the sasety of the em
pire. and the other is the special in
terests of the empire in time of
peace and its commercial and social
relations with its several members.

A KIND OF SCHOOL.
To Use the Hands as Well as Eyes a
Great Idea in Education.
St. Nicholas.
There is anew kind of school,
and here are new lessons and new
teachers coming. Books we must
have. To learn we must read.
But we may read all about boats,
and yet we can never learn to sail
a boat till we take the tiller in hand
and trim the sail beforo the breeze.
The book will help wonderfully in
telling us the name ot things iu the
boat, and, if we have read about
sailing, wo shall more quickly
learn to sail ; but we certainly never
shall learn till we are in a real boat.
We can read in a book how to turn
a heel in knitting, and may commit
to memory whole rules about
“throwing off two and puri tour,”
and all the rest; x*et where is the
girl wno can learn to knit without
having the needles in her hands?
This then is the idea ot the new
school—to use the hands as well as
the eyes. Boys and girls who go
to the ordinary schools, where only
books are used, will graduate know
ing a great deal ; but a boy who
goes to one ot these new schools,
where, besides the books, there are
pencils and tools, work benches as
well us writing books, will know
more. The other boys and girls
may forget more than half they
read, but ho will remember every
thing he learned at the drawing
table or at the work beneli as long
as he lives. He will also remember
more of that which he reads, because
his work with his hands helps him
to understand what he reads.
1 remember long ago a tear
stained book ot tables of weights
and measures and a teacher’s impa
tience with a stupid child who could
not master the “tables.” And 1
have seen a school where the tables
were written on a blackboard—thus:
“two pints are equal to one quart,”
and on a stand in the school room
were a tin pint measure and a tin
quart measure and a box ot dry
sand. Every happy youngster had
a chance to fill that pint measure
with sand and pour tho sand in the
quart measure. Two pints tilled it.
He knew it. Did ho aot see it?
Did not every boy try it? Ah!
Now they knew what it all meant.
It was as plain as day that two
pints ot sand were equal to one
quart of sand ; and with merry
smiles those s^x-yea’*-old aphileso
phers learned the 4ables of meas
ures ; and they will never forget
them. This is, in brief, what is
meant by industrial education. To
learn by using the hands, to study
from things as well as from books.
This is the. new school, these are the
new ‘’’lessons. Tho children who
can sew and design, or draw, or
carve wood, or do joinery work, or
cast metals, or work in clay and
brass, are the best educated because
they use their hands as well as their
eyes and their brains. You may
say that in such schools aIU - oys
will become mechanics arid all the
girls dressmakers. Some may,
many will not ; and yet whatever
they do, be it preaching, keeping a
store or singing in concerts, they
will do their work better than
those who onl}* read in books.

ton and negroes. The change is iust
comtning around for the grand de
velopment ot our natural resources
that have been here lor ages smil
ing at the races, but until now, un
noticed. At last her seducive rich
ness has, to some extent, diverted
the people from the old ruts and
we will soon realise the great bene
fits. Our country is the richest of
all, in all things, and why not the
people take advantage of it? Why
fritter away our lives only living a
miserable, scanty existence, when
we have all the advantages to ena
ble us with moderate exertion, direc
ted, to enjoy wealth equal to any
people on earth. Our climate is all
that can be desired, our soil as good
as can be found, if properly managed.
Our mineral wealth is as yet com
paratively unknown. We can as
tonish the w r orld with our coal and
iron. We have gold regions as rich
as California. We need not go west
to mine. This is, and has been a
mistaken idea ot thousands. We
know the whereof in this case, and
say that Georgia presents better ad
vantages and better prospect for an
immediate return for investment in
mining than any seciion ot the Uni
ted States. Why, then, wait longer?
We should never be contented with
a mere living. We should be
up and doing for the good of
the country and the future of poster
ity. Development is the word.
Growth and prosperity will be the
result.
