The'manner in which this lady has built up her business is in itself a-val- Uable lesson to those who may wish to follow in ,hdr,- footsteps. She came to California’ the''wife of a comparatively ■poor man, who had his way to make in the world. A . small, family of children 'came to them,' and to those she gave tho devotion x>f a loving and intelligent mother. But the time came when the children had so grown that she-was re.- lieved from the chain of engrossing duties that tie & young" mother’s hands, and in ,theirrhome,,she le lt the need of <’many little articles’ ofluxury that are a necessity to persons jii|| education and - taste. Sb(£Baijl; not' the,money to pro­ vide books/ahd> pictures and little olq- gancles to gra;c&. their daily life, and with a woman’s ingonuity she set her brain to work to deviso some manner of procuring these without any large ex­ penditure of money. She. found in a certain-column of a! little magazino an “ exchange” column, in which all sorts of articles ’ were : Oifered in ex­ change for bulbs and plants and curiosities. In the course?of tho homo training she , had given W r chil­ dren aho had encouraged their in­ terest in the ' datura] gciencos by long walks along tho beach arid exeur- .Blone to the woods, and thoy had brought back from? these'trips a wealth of natur­ al curiosities, sholls and delicato forns, soa weeds and all the curious wash of tjUio sea, as well -as raro forns, birds* Wests, beautiful messes, seeds and plants irom the woods. She had always been a.flower lover, and with her children’s and hor husband's help sho had kopt their little garden so skillfully culti­ vated and so rich in bloom that it bad been tho admiration of tho vil­ lage. Hero, then, was her opportunity. Sho at once placed herself in correspondence with several whoso offers o f exchange attracted her attention, arid found a . ready market for all tho curios and plants she could spare. Tho domands for the first were soon exhausted, but tho market fer reota and)plants, instead of dwindling, grow steadily, month after month and year after year. By degrees she became known to one or two promi­ nent Eastorn feexists, ^probably chiefly through her calla lily bulbs, whjch they discovered Write »o mtttfi firior arid healthier than any thoy could ralsothat thoy were glad to engago all that sho could furnish them. • .She was, probably, tho first person in California to ship calla lily bulbs in any quantity to East­ ern florists, and at first she received .$1 a piece for the bulbs, i price whiriji grew less and less as the markctbecamo better supplied; hut when the demand for tho callas was supplied, other plants and seeds took their place. Soon the time catne when her little garden could no longor meet tho de­ mands made upon it, and several acres were purchased In the outskirts o f Die town, hothohigs ware erected, nurssries started arid the lady embarked In tho calling of a floriculturist. The business As a young one still, hilt it rests on a sure foundation, for every step has been carefully taken, and thero is no spgcvlUtioft about it, 'The children —bright, talented, ■IndastMouA young people nOw troMlng rift manhood'am womanhood-are active partners in the establishment, and devote to It all tho time thoy can spare from thoir studio*.

I have not heat'd ,that .these Liberal la­ dles aro any loss capable mothers or any less lovely in their husbands’ eyes. In­ deed, I think'.thoir value has Increased, since, as I have understood, they are frequently consulted,.with upon polit­ ical measures. *Mrs. Gladstone is a prominent loader among the Liberal ladies. Surely •Amorlcan women need not fear that an interest in politics (which moans only public measures) will de­ preciate their Value to their male friends, unless American men aroagood deal narrower in their ideas' than En­ glishmen.

Once give full scope to the expression of woman’ s powers, and in any and every form of activity that may corres­ pond to those powers, relievo alike from fear of poverty and dependence, and, from the tyranny of enforced inactivity, and wdmanhood will blossom into a beauty and strength and loveliness o f character hitherto undreamed of.' Es­ pecially in tho home relations of womon will this bo apparent. As an earnest thinker upoh the subject has said, “ it is inevitable that tho romoval of any external pressure of necessity to marry for the sake of a homo and support will have a tondoncy to olevato the standard of marriage, first among women, and then among men. ” Ono of tho greatest foes to happy marriages is tho existence of the mercenary spirit on the part of parents and daughters. Nothing will so effectually remove it as tho possession by young girls and women at satis­ factory, honorable, romunoratlvo occu­ pations, and tho Countonanco and ap­ probation of society In tho pursuit of them. Margaret Fuller said:. “ No woman can givo hor band with dignity until sho can loam to stand alone.” Tho day is noar at hand when tho thorough­ ly educated woman will.ho .tho ono ad­ mirably described by Gootho as “ able, if necessary, to bo both father and mother to hor childron.” Here will bo found tho truo conditions for forming love-inspired marriages, and, as a conse­ quence, the ceasing to be of any other kind. And while wo open to them tho door of freedom to find that highost heaven of earthly happiness—tho homo bullded upon I qvo and a happy marriage, we at the same time furnish them with a key of escape from that bastiie, that holl—a marriage from which'love and respect bavo departed.—Mrs. Helen E.

Its Im­ mediate result was a riot and mobbing of Dr. Cheever in the streots of Salem, and his arrest for ' ‘libelling one of his church members,” for Poacon Giles was a deacon in bis own church. He was prosecuted, convicted and imprisoned lor thirty days in Salem jail; that im­ prisonment made his Dream immortal. ItShad an immense circulation in this country and in Groat Britain, was translated and largely circulated in tho language of France, Germany, Italy, Belgium, Switzerland, Norway and Sweden. Not long before his death Dr. Cheever related an instance-of strango 'fruitage from this early soed-sowing. Ho had preached in Boston, and as he camo down the'aisle from the pulpit was acr costed by a middle-aged, well-dressed stranger who Introduced himself as Mr. Giles, the son of Deacon Giles, owner of the famous Salem distillery. “ I stopped you, Dr. Choovor,’’ ho said, “ to thank you for writing that,Dream. It was the means of making mo think of the evil effects.of distilling intoxicating liquors, and determined me to givo up distill­ ling; further reflection under tho influ­ ence of the Holy Spirit led me to see that I was a lost and guilty sinner, and brought ms to confess and renounco my sins ami accept the offer of Balvation through Josus Christ” Dr. Cheover was very much touched by tho incident Slavory as woll as intomperanco felt the weight of his blows; there was no evil which' be did not denounce fear­ lessly. Nor was his work altogether polemic, ho was a poet and philosopher os well as a brave fighter, and as the smoko' of battle drifts away, posterity will lovo him for hfs poetry as we now venerate him for his fearless denuncia­ tion of wrong.—Union Signal. *«,' ........ r __ .. ACTION OF ALCOHOL. A Murderous Instrument In the Hands of the Foolish and Weak. It is said that alcohol choors the weary, arid that to take a little wine for tho stomach's sako is oho of those les­ sons that come from tho deep recesses of human nature. I am not soobstinato as to deny this argument ThOro are times m tho life of man when the heart Is oppressed) w;hon tho resistance to its motion is oxcosslvo, and when blood flows languidly to tho canters o f life, nerrotts and muscular. In those mo­ ment’s alcohol cheers. It lets loose the heart from its oppression; it lots flow a brisker current of blood into tho failing organs; it aids nutritive changes, and altogether is of temporary service to man. So far alcohol may be good, and it Its uso could bo limited to this one action, this one purpose, it would be amongst the most excellent of the gifts of science to mankind. Unhappily, the border line between this use and the ahuso of it, the temptation to extend beyond the uso the habit to apply the uso when it is not wanted as readily as whenit is wanted, overbalance, in the multitude oi men, the temporary value that attaches truly to alcohol as a phys­ iological agent. Hence alcohol becomes a dangerous instrument even in the hands of the strong and wise; a murderous, instru­ ment in the bands of the foolish and weak. Used too frequently, used too excessively, this agent which ih irioder- ation cheers the failing body, relaxes its vessels too extremely; spoils’ vital organs? makes the course of the circu­ lation, slow, imperfect, irregular; sug­ gests thri call for more Stimulation; tempts to the renewal of the evil, and ruins the mechanism o f theihealtby an­ imal beloto its hcPUr for ruin by natural decay, should i e at all near.—Richard* son’s Diseases of ‘Modern Life, t h e b e s t M e d ic in e .

Dr. Jacobi,- of New York, In a recent discussion before the section on chil­ dren’s diseases of th e .New York Aca­ demy of Medicino, contented that so long;as a nursing woman was secreting healthy milk there was but littlo dan­ ger that- any deleterious matter which might be floating in tho blood could got into it, but as soon as the woman be­ came' anaemic, or got below par in.her general, health, the socrotibn from the breast would not bo simply milk, but part of It would bo watery and other material foreign to its normal composi­ tion. Whatever was floating in tho water of the blood would find its way into the breasts and into the baby. He denied that alcohol would increase the secretion of milk. The utmost that could bo said for it was that a small quantity, if regularly given, might not bo harmful. Alcohol acts in tho same way as other foods containing carbon and the elements of water, the car­ bohydrates, and Its benefits can be oqually well obtained by administering carbohydrates in some other form, namely, by milk and. farinaceous foods A nursing woirian. needs nearly twioe as much as a woman in ordinary condition. Extra diet should be taken to supply this need. That nursing women re*- quire malt liquors, is an ancient and very popular beliof, which doos not rest, .however, on any solid foundation.
