A learned Mohammedan, Ameer Ali, has at last removed from the mem ory of the founder of his religion a stigma under which it has rested for twelve centuries. So far from degrading woman and relegating her to a position of obscurity and slavery, Ameer Ali says the prophet Mohammed was the best sort of a woman’s rights man, and did all in his power to elevate and free the sex. Mr. Ameer Ali hurls a brave lance at onr modern civilization in these words: The teacher who, in an age when no coun try, nonyetem, no community gave any right to woman, maiden or married, mother or wife, who, in a country where the birth of a daugh ter was considered a calamity, secured to the sex rights which are only unwillingly and un der pressure being conceded to them by the civilized nations in the Nineteenth century, deserves the gratitude of humanity. If Mo hammed had done nothing more, his claim to be a benefactor of mankind would have Méb Indisputable. Even under the laws as jhey stand at present in the pages of the legists, the legal position of Moslem females may be said to compare favorably with that of European women. MISS MAY KELI.ARD. whether the tea will be good tonight, or whether the doctor will remember your bad cough, or whether your neighbor will be waking you up during the night ■creaming for her child, that child which will never come to her again? All this and a thousand more sad things you sen when you go to where the incurables are kept at the expense of the city of New York. There are thousands of women in New York who spend enough money on soda water to give pleasure to one of these miserable wretches. To these, half blind, half crazy, there seem to be very few who ever think of them. One of these .thoughtful persons is a young girl, rich, pretty, and with everything about her in her own home that money can get. Yet twice every week she visits the hos pital, taking with her a store of the little dainties that the old people like. Pack ages of tea with lump.; of sugar packed in, fruit, jelly,buns, and, funnily enough, a little candy, because there are some of the old women who say they like to have it. Long before itis time fur the boat ply ing between New York and the island on which the hospital is situated to arrive some of the old women and old men are eagerly WMtching for it, and have come way down the road that they may walk up to the hospital with their friend, call ing on her head so many “God bless youa" that certainly the bread that she cast upon the waters must return to her. In »he goes among all the sick people, people who yon know will never lie well: just remember how long that word “never” is—it means "until death comes.” They tell her their sorrows and their joys. One old lady is grieved to the heart because a member of some church association wouldn't give her a pear lie- eatue she didn't belong to the right church, and another begs her to tell her truthfully when her boy will come home—he went away such a long time ago, and when the news came that he had been drowned the poor mother's wtts went from her and she lielieves he is still alive and is coming to her. Could you tell her that he wasn't? Certainly not. And so the good Samaritan pats the poor old woman on the shoulder, whispers some words of good cheer and gives her a package that has in it tea, sugar, buns and a great big pear so rosy oa one sido' that the poor creature de lightedly looks at it for an hour. Now, thia girl who is working for God's own people belongs to God’s own church. You may be a Baptist, a Presbyterian, a Methodist, or whatever church you have chosen to serve God in, but no matter what your belief may be, May Kellard never asks one question except, “What can I do for you, my friend?” And then she not only hears and marks down In her little book what yon want, hot (he is certain never to forget. Her promises are not written in sand, and •ven these poor semi-idiots know it. After the feast is all over then comes another cheerful time. Something bright is read, and then the word goes around that “Miss Kellard is going to sing.” Thera she stands with her hands folded, with> no grand notes to accompany her except the ones sung by the angels in heaven, and she sings what they ask her. Sometimes it's a hymn, sometimes it's a merry little song, sometimes its a pa thetic ballad, but always at the last it is one song. A poor cripple, all drawn out of shape, says something that nobody cun make out except Miss Kel lard and then sweet and clear the notes go out of “Home, bweet Home.” And I, who stand there looking and listening, wonder if those poor creatures will not soon be taken to that everhisting home where there is no suffering, anil whether already there is not written in the great ■ golden Book of Life the name of May Kellard, and opposite is graven, “As ye have done it unto tlie least of these ye have done if unto me.” I sabel A. M allon A woman has more brain, pound for pound of the weight of her body, than a man. In 1836, when Abraham Lincoln was a candidate for re-electiou to the Illinois legislature, he made this statement of his principles: “I go for all sharing the privileges of the government who assist in bearing its burdens. Consequently I go for admitting all whites to the rights of suffrage who pay taxes or bear arms —by no means excluding females.” In those days there was no emancipation. Women were called females, so Lincoln made an exception as to race, not as to sex. Mrs. M. Lemon is now sole editor of The American Publisher, a thriving trade paper in New York city. She writes book reviews and does all the editorial work. Besides her duties here this busy and capable woman also finds time to write editorial contributions for Geyer's Stationer and a Christmas an nual. There is scarcely any limit to the work a thoroughly trained, talented woman can do in every field in which she has been tried. Ladies, take note of it: Wherever Lady Henry Somerset goes in this coun try and gives one of her ringing temper ance addresses, the papers speak enthu siastically of her sweet voice. It falls like music on the ear. Why do not we American women cultivate such voice«? It is in the power of every woman to speak in sweet, clear tones. Governor Barber, of Wyoming, spys of the women in that young state: “You know our total population is 70,000, of which one-fourth is female. So a man must walk straight in Wyoming, for the women hold the balance of power, and they are using it wisely and judiciously. They are making onr schools the models of the country, and. too. can make a dol lar go much farther than their ’hub bies. ’ ” A woman invented the street sweep ing machine at present in use. If now another woman could only invent some way to make men and voters use it a little oftener and much more thoroughly this second invention would qnite equal the first in importance. Note the effect of a speech that is read, then of one that is spoken, and you will determine that never again will you read a paper before your clnb, but speak what you have to say, looking at your audience face to face. Magnetism streams from the eye. The most fashionable club in the beautiful town of Warren, O.. is the Women's Political Expiality club. The ladies spend not so much time trying to get suffrage as in preparing themselves to use the ballot wisely when they get it. They regard woman suffrage as a foregone conclusion. At every meeting there is a parliamentary drill which is one of the most admirable features that could possibly lie introduced into a wom an's club. These intelligent and enter prising ladies also resolve themselves regularly into a class for instruction in civil government. The men of Warren must wake up or the women will pres ently know more than they about the three departments of government, the United States constitution and political history and questions. Besides all the things named, the inem'oers of this ever to be commended club do something else. They require that all the speeches shall be spoken, not read. If there were not so many other admirable features about this society, I should say this last one was the best of all. Oh, yes! I am fully persuaded in my own mind that this Warren organization is the model women's clnb for the time. THEY ARE The Veracious Narrative of Two Union Officers who Escaped from a Confederate Prison.

About this time a younger sister— Lucy—aged seven, made her debut at the lord mayor's. Within two weeks Lucy Webling was known as the pret tiest child in England, and a firm of London photographers were accumulat ing a fortune through the sale of her picture. A story is told that when Mrs. Burnett was dramatizing “Fauntleroy-’ she strolled into the photographer's shop and saw the child's picture on the wall. “That is the child I want for ‘Fauntle roy,’ ” she said, but she was informed that tiie child belonged to a private fam ily. Some time after this, however, while the play was running, another child was needed, and the managers made Lucy an offer, and she called on Mrs. Burnett to see if she was satisfac tory. Mrs. Bnrnett was standing in her parlor talking to Wilson Barrett when the child entered. “My ideal!'’she ex claimed. “Child, you are the one I wanted first.” And Lucy played “Faun tleroy” 500 times before Mrs. Burnett wrote “Nixey” for her, and lost nearly £2,000 in four weeks of matinees.

Walker, society editor of the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, lias had a career so full of interest that the plainest narration of it reads like some wild romance. She was born in Missis- Mppi. where her father. Colonel Ker shaw, was among the wealthiest plant ers, and was early noted for intellect and beauty. She was educated in New York and Italy, from which country she returned to the horrors of the civil war. i NOW. ^\\$s Ç.'tmsCB&rçv The Home Made Beautiful. Feathers Everywhere. FAD Wealthy Americans, especially wealthy New Yorkers, have of late years devoted a good deal of attention to parlor enter tainments. In this they have followed the lead of London society and there has come into being a class of amusement caterers whose province lies wholly in the line of catering to the demand for parlor entertainments on both sides of the water. To this class belong Marshal P. Wilder and Mrs. Shaw, the beautiful whistler. The latest success in thia line In New York are the Misses Webling, English girls who have already won a place in London. This custom came into vogue some eight or ten years ago, and no less a per son than Dolly Tennant, now Mrs. Henry Stanley, set the fashion. At that time there was a family of three little girls, ranging from about seven to ten years of age, all remarkable for their grace and beauty. They were friends of Miss Tennant, but poor, and it was she who suggested to them to give a little entertainment in her parlor, and so it was that the now famous Webling sisters were launched. Lord Londonderry, Oscar Wilde, Ruskin and other notable lights of London were present. Jo sephine, the eldest of the children, re cited Shelley's ode to the skylark. Her qnaint little mannerisms captivated the audience, and when the other little tots, Peggy and Rosalind, had finished their small parts, their future in the drawing rooms of England's great people was as sured. Even the Princess of Wales took a fancy to the young ladies—the eldest was now sixteen—and they visited her at Sandringham, where they played scenes from Shakespeare before the royal pair. One of the younger children made a de cided hit when the Prince of Wales asked her age and she informed his royal highness that it was impolite to ask a young lady such a question. A royal flush preceded a hearty laugh, in which every one joined. The princess has al ways been kind to her young friends, and always greets them when riding in the park with a cordial bow.
