She has yet to master our language, although she has quite a good understanding of the more familiar words and phrasesj but French, Spanish and her own native tongue come most natural in her conversation. In reply to the question how she liked America she said: "Ver much. I no go out yet so much as the papers have me there.

And she laughed, while her beautiful dark eyes shone with pleasure at this latest bit of journalistic enterprise.

GRASS IS KING! HURRAH !1 Shout for joy. The green grass rules. It's more valuable than oats, wheat and corn together. Luxuriant meadows are the farmer's delight. A positive way to get them and a very sure one we know is to sow Salzer's Extra Grass Mixtures. No need of waiting a life time either. Salzer has a mixture, sown in April, producing hay in June. Many farmers report yields of six tons of magnificent hay per acre.

The correspondent of a Chicago paper says: There is a clause in the postoffice appropriation bill which was reported in the House of Representatives last week, restricting the transmission of second-clas- s matter through the mails. It applies particularly to unsold newspapers and magazines returned by news agents to the offices of publication, and is supposed to have been insertedat the suggestion of the express companies, who are always around when any attempt is made to extend postal facilities. Postmaster-General Wana maker endeavored for four years to secure a cheap parcels post, and afterward explained that there were four, reasons why he failed. One was the United States Express company, the second was the Adams Express company, the third was the American Express company, and the fourth was the Wells-Farg- o Express company, and they were all convincing reasons, he said.

"stamping Out the Loudon Slums," by Edward Marshall, in the March Century. ST. PAUL MISJUDGED. Was In Favor of Preachers but Not Married Women. Happily a difficulty which has afflicted the church for eeveral centuries will soon end if the emendation of the Greek text made by a patient investigator be universally accepted, says the Boston Herald, St. Paul has always been regarded as the determined foe of all women preachers, married or spinster, and many ladies have felt very grievously this slur on their status in the Christian community and even run the risk of creating schism by preaching in defiance of the alleged apostolic com- mand. But the crux is now solved. The investigator referred to holds that the Greek word "gyne," which St. Paul uses, does not mean in that particular text women generally, but "married women" whose husbands are alive. Some critics are capable of suggesting that the only importance of the new gloss is to go one better than the old saying of a wife being a crown to her husband by showing him that she is really a gyne (usually spelled guinea), but the emendator takes the subject most seriously. For instance, when St. Paul speaks about women keeping silence in churches he immediately adds, "Let them ask their husbands at home," showing that his prohibiton of speech merely referred to wives. Moreover, in the Acts of the Apostles it is distinctly mentioned that one Philip had four daughters, unmarried, who prophesied or preached. The new contention, therefore, is that St. Paul's injunction is sufficiently met if married women cease to preach, but as far as maidens and even widows are concerned, they may discourse as much as they please without breaking any law of the churches or apostolic command. On this point it may be interesting to note that in America women preachers are increasing with amazing rapidity and promise before the next century is far advanced to equal the number of their male rivals. The denominations in which they abound are baptist, conuniversalist, unitarian gregational, methodist. and According to recent number 1,235, while in statistics, they 750. The statistics do were 1891 they of them have not show whether any alive. Old-Ma- 8 OUT A SLUM, clearing IZ A 7 1 1 gold-color- ) MASS. jpjP;, . u - |
