PLEASANTLY REPORTED FOR
THE EVENING ('ALL.
THE MAN WITH THE HOE.
Written Apropus of Millet’s Painting.
“The Man With the Hoe ”)
it, wed by the weight of centuries he leans
Upon his hoe and gazes upon the ground,
The emptiness of ages, in his face,
And on bis back the burden ot the world.
Who made him dead to rupture and de
spair,
A thing that gives not and that never
hopes,
Stolid and stunned, a brother to the Ox?
Who loosened and let donn his brutal
jaw?
Whose was the hand that slanted back his
brow?
W hose breath blew out the light within
his brain?
Is this the thing the Lord God made and
gave
To have dominion over sea and land :
To trace the stars and search the heavens
for power;
To ieel the passion of eternity?
Is this the Dream He dreamed who shaped
the suns
And pillared the blue firmament with
light?
1 town all the stretch of Hell to its last gulf
There is no shape more terrible than this—
More tongued w ith censure of the world’s
blind greed—
More filled with signs and portents for the
soul—
More frought with mensee to the universe.
What gulfs between him and the sera
phim !
Slave of the wheel of labor, what to him
Are Plato and the swing of Pleiades?
What the long reaches of the peaks of
song,
The rift of dawn, the reddening of the
rose?
Through this dread shape the suffering
ages look;
l ime’s tragedy is in that aching stoop ;
Through this dread shape humanity be
trayed,
Plundered, profaned and disinherited,
t ries protest to the Judges of the World,
A protest that is also prophecy.
O masters, lords, and rulers in all lands,
Is this the handiwork you give to God,
This monstrous thing distorted and soul
quenched?
How will you ever straighten up this
shape;
Give back the upward looking and the
light;
Rebuild it in the- music and the dream;
Touch it again with immortality ;
Make right the immortal infamies,
Perfidious wrongs, immedicable woes?
O masters, lords, and rulers of all lands,
How will the Future reckon with this
Man?
How answer his brute question in all that
hour
When whirlwinds of rebellion shake the
world?
How will it be with kingdoms and with
kings—
With those who shaped him to be the
thing he is—
When this dumb terror shall reply to God
After the silence of the centuries?
Edwin Markham, in the San Francisco
Examiner.

The impression seems to prevail al- ;
most universally, that (his “new wo- ,
man,” ec-called, is innately discordant i
to man’s ideals; that, in fact, she j
forces herself upon him. People seem j
tu regard her—as indeed, she often <
short-jightedly, regards herself—as ,
rather of an imposition, as something
antagonistic to man’s requirements.
Hut we seem not yet to have realized ,
that just as there is a new woman
evolving herself out of tbe old-fashion
ed woman, so is a new man taking the
place of the old-fashioned man. Are
we not doing man an injustice to sup- (
p -e that he remains merely the same <
in his ideals and requirements, while
woman progresses alone? Just as her ■
former state of domestic bondage has
become insufficient to our women, so
it has become insufficient to our men-
I woman has changed her relative
position by increasing her mental abil
ity, she is merely answering to man’s
requirements, as of old—only men now
want more. The study of the rise of
woman from the slave to the compan
ion, is not only a study of her deepen
ing intelligence .but also of man’s in
creasing demands We expect more

of our women than ever before, and
i they feel i;. No woman cun »v<r be
i really masculine hi nature, nu niutiir
how much sh- may trv >u innhue
man. Her masculinity will be, as an
effeminate man’s femininity, merely a
manner and appearance, which tend
to disgust people, rat her than I her
wise. The imitations of the one sex
by the other, will never be successful,
, because the requirements of each are
against it There is much profitless
1 talk about the destiny of the new wo
man. Destinies are beyond u#; they
are progressions, and we cannot see
fate’s ultimate ends But unless a
■ man be pessiment enough to prefer the
ancient, decry the modern, and deny
the excellence of progress, he must
surely be pleased that w» progress
Rut lew of us realize our opinions; we
merely believe them ; and many in
tense optimists inconsistently shrink
from the new, as from something more
dangerous than promising. Surely
the men who progress are civilizers;
only savagery advocates barbarism.
The modern woman is seasonable.
Her sweetness lies in her sympathetic
wisdom, and her charm in her fresh,
free, high womanhood. Youog-souled, 1
and clear-minded, she will be cheerful <
in herself, because she will ba satisfied, i
Neither unnoticed and subservient, !
nor aloofly emancipated, but devel
oped to her high possibilities, the com
ing woman will be more lovable, more
admirable, and more companionable, <
than she has ever yet been. Raised to 1
her highest capacity, she will be more '
worthy of man, and man will be wor
thy of her.

When Nature
Needs assistance it may be best to render
it promptly, but one should remember to
use even the most perfect remedies only
when needed. The best and most simple
and gentle remedy is the Syrup of Figs,
manufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co.
Pitts' Carminative is pleasant to the
taste, acts promptly, and never fails to
give satisfaction. It carries children over
the critical time of teething, and is the
friend ot anxious mothers and puny chil
dren. A few doses will demonstrate its
value. E. H. Dorsey, Athens, Ga., writes :
“I consider it the best medic’ne I have ev
er used in my family. It does all you
i claim for it, and even more ”

Official Cotton Classers ;;
The letter addressed to the State
Commissioner of Agriculture by Mr ,
J. P. Wi liams, respecting the need for ;
official cotton classers is provoking
considerable discussion, and may re i,
ceive attention from the legislature, j 1
There is, of course, a great difference i
of opinion as to the advisability of'
adopting the plan suggested by Mr.
Williams, to put a stop to the largi j
and steadily increasing reclamations?
from cotton buyers in Europe partic
ularly those in Liverpool and Bremen. ‘
It is admitted that some of these!
reclamations are just, but the opinion ! '
seems to be that many of them rest I
ou no real foundation, and are a part | "
of a money-making scheme. It is
certain that if they are submitted to it r
will not be long before they will be
come so burdensome that no cotton i 1
dealer in this country can stand them, !
It is probably true that there ;<re in
terior buyers who, being entirely irre
sponsible, do not hesitate to ship to
their customers it grade of cotton |
much lower than that which they cun- ?
traded to deliver, and there ought to ?
be some means at. the ports to deter- :
mine whether the cotton is what it i
purports io be before it is put on £
shipboard. The interior seller should s
not be paid the entire amount due for 5
bis cotton until it is satisfactorily de f
termined that he has complied with f
his contract ;
The appointment of official cotton §
classers might be beneficial, to a lim *
ited extent, to the cotton pn Iticers,
but the chief beneficiaries would li
the merchants at the port- who have i
to pay the reclamations, 15 it do? ’
seem to be a pretty high handed piece t
of business for the foreign buyer to 1
t
say whether the cotton he receives is t
up to the grade for which hi bir- ’
gained He has it in hi- p over prac- , ,
ticady to say, within certain limits, j
what he will pay for the cotton which
be has in his possession. That is al
together too on -ridel . to suit the'
cotton merchants on this side of the (
ocean. There ought to be no such ■
thing as a reclamation. The question ;
as to whether cotton that is de'iv red
is of the grade of that s d ought to
be settled befcre the cotton is shipped.
The reclamation business opens too
wide a field for fraud—-.ivannah

Persiflage in the Carpenter Shop-
From advance sheets of “The Tool-
Chest That Found Itself,” by Bludy
yard Stripling, in Harper’s Baz. ir
The carpenter had put down his
tools and for his luncheon.
“Life with me is a perfect b'ire,"
said the Auger.
“I’m a little Inard myself,” s-iid the
Small Plank.
“There’s no art in this country,”
observed the Screw Driver. “Every
thing’s screwed in my eyes.”
“5 ou don’t stick at anything long
enough tu know what you're driving
at,” intetjected the Glue.
“That s just it,” said the Screw. "He
never g. es beneath the surface, the
way the Jack-Plane and I do,”
“Tut cried the Saw. ‘1 go through
things as much as you do Life is
stuffed with sawdust.”
‘ Regular grind,” said the tlrind
stone.
“I agree with you,” observed the
Bench ‘lt doesn’t make any differ
ence how well I do my work, I’m al
ways sat on.”
“Let s strike,” said the Hammer.
“That’s it,” cried the Auger “You
bit. the nail on the head that time."
‘ I’ll hit it again,” retorted the ham
mer; and he kept his word, but he hit
the wrong nail. That is why the car
penter now wears his thumb in a ban
d»ge. It was his thumb nail that the
hammer struck.
