| —The sensation following the publication ‘of the Pall Mall Gazette exposure of vile ;crime and debauchery in London high life, \is not confined to that city alone, but is ‘world-wide, The intimate bearing the question has on s@ciety at large, rather than a mere morbid desire for the criminal details, may account for this. There are not probably in any other part of the globe five millions of people, with so complete and extensive a police system, amongst whom unmentionable crime is so prevalent, and so persistently winked at by those who should protect and save its victims. It is high time that the social oess-pools and sewers of the city should be cleansed, even if it be a loathsome and repulsive task, before the curse of an angry but long- patieat God smites it with a punishment more severe than that which befell Sodom and its kindred cities. The dank, dark, noisome pits of nameless sin should once more be gladdened by the beams of purity’s sun, when every traca of pollu- tion has been swept away by the cleansing waters of justice, let in upon them through the opened flood gates of christian- ity and civilization. If this end is accdm- plished, through the instrumeutality of the fearless journal now leading the way, then every father, who is not or has not been a libertine himself, every mother who has en- circled in her loving arms the fair child that perhaps in an evil hour yielded to the tempters’ gilded allurements, every wife, every sister or daughter, every person of whatever position in life, who has the love of justice,truth and purity at heart,through the whole length and breadth of the great empire, whose centre is a city of such un- checked and almost unheeded abomination, should feel a deep debt of gratitude to the Pall Mall Gazette, and the noble men who are acting upon its exposures of criminals in high life. They should, ou bended knees, thank God that thé sweeping plague of social leprosy is stayed at last, and the nation saved from a heavier judgement than even yet befella people. London is not the only city in Europe that needs purifying.

— There is just now a scrambling for female suffrage, and a rush for college titles and degrees, among the fair sex. not deny that many of them would wear such honors more becomingly than the sterner sex, that the “‘sweet girl graduate” would often shine as clearly in the ethical and literary world as their brothers or future husbands, and add to the grand roll of heroines and religious whose names have come down the mystic sweep of ages—hal- lowed by the lapse of time, brightened by the light of noble thoughts and deeds, to be loved and revered “ till the last syllable of recorded time”; yet we cannot help thinking—these brilliant exceptions to the contrary, notwithstanding — that home is woman’s truest and holiest sphere, woman’s kingdom, woman's shrine. Many of the fair ones take degrees, and that is about the last we hear of them, A fintter of muslin and rosebuds on commencement day, a valedictory address, an sphemeral triumph, and then nine-tenths of them are lost to the literary world. Yet society is a great gainer by the ‘* higher education” of women. They un- doubtedly make better wives and mothers. They bring to the home circle broad ideas and exalted aspirations, which tested in the crucible of every day life, brighten and refine the social and domestic spheres. Woman's years of study and development are not lost, even though not marked by any stirin the literary world. How appl’- cable are the words of Ruskin: ‘The stars may be over her head ; the glow worm in the night-cold grass may be the only fire at their foot; but home is yet where- ever she is; and for a noble woman it stretches far around her, better than ceiled with cedar, or painted with vermilion, shedding its quiet light far for those who else were homeless. This, then, I believe to be—-will you not admit it to be—the woman’s true place and power! But do you not see to fulfil all this, she must—as far as one can use such terms of a human creature—be incapable of error! So far as she rules all must be right, or nothing is. She must be enduringly, incorraptible good, instinctively, infallibly wise—wise, not for self-development, but for self- renunciation ; wise, not that she may set herself above her husband, but that she may never fail from his side; wise, not with the narrowness of insolent and loveless pride, but with the passionate gentleness of an infinitely applicable modesty of service

the changefulness of woman.”

“‘An ounce of prevention worth a pound of cure” isan old adage but true. In view of pre“ictions that this country is liable to be visited by more than an ordinary amount of contagious disease this year, it behoves al! to inguire about and practice every sanitary measnre,especially cleanliness, which as a pre- ventive, offers some one means of escape at east; and in this how important the article of Soap as to quality fit for use; certainly all in- ferior grades made so by foreign substances and adulterations of a questionable charactar, should be rejected, that there may be no taint left on the person or clothes which might in any way invite the germs of these various dis- eases. A first-class article, made by known reliable manufactarers, is the only kind that can be safely used or recommended. In the use of astandard soap, like the ‘*Welcome,” made by Curtis, Davis & Co., there can be no risk, being the goods of a firm whose name on soap is a sufficient guarantee of its purity.

Opposition Obstruction in Parlia- ment.

THE RECORD AS COMPILED BY A GOVERNMENT PAPER,

(From the London Free Press.)

In order that something like a compre- hensive view may be had of that senseless course of obstruction, the appended table is given. ltis absolutely reliable, and far

from being exaggerated. Here are the figures :—

In arriving at these figures it was impos- sible to tell how much longer the speeches of some hon. gentlemen really were than is allowed above. In some places in Hansard suggestive sentences l:ke this were to be found :—‘'The hon. gentleman here read at great length from an English pubii- cation.”

ee cc For Impecunious FIGURES TO SHOW THAT HOUSEKEEPING

Young Men.

THEY CAN SET UP For $55.

It will doubtless open the eyes of some young society people who have recently tried housekeeping after the most improved modern plan to learn that this can easily be done for $55; and that, too, with only a small part of the total cost in pocket, if the time-payment privilege should be taken advantage of. On this basis $75 will clothe, pay wedding expenses, barring a tour, and will start a young man in good - style, and marriage dwindles from a moun- tain to a mole-hill. Having secured two pleasant rooms in a respectable neighbor- hood, the first thing the pair will want is the furniture. If they keep their eyes in one direction they can get it, and out of a furniture shop, at little cost. They can purchase a substantial imitation walnut bed for $2, a mattrass for the same price, and a spring for $1 ; six chairs will cost $3, a wash stand $2, a dining-table $2 50, bureau $7, kitchen table $1.10, two pillows $1.20, and a centre table for sitting room $2.50, making a total of $24.20. Of course this presumes that they are beginning at this time of the year, when no preparations for cold weather will be needed, and also that the lady has beep industrious enough to provide herself with linen and covering. The next important consideration is the kitchen. A gasoline stove can be obtained for $5, or a cook stove as low as $7. At this time of the year the young woman will take a gasoline stove as far the more comfortable and convenient of the two. This, with the necessaay utensils, will cost about $8. China will be the next thing to be got. By a due attention to details, a set of china large enough fora family of ‘two or three can be obtained for $5, a set of glasses for 25 certs. A twilet set will cost $3.25. These are all good ware, not chipped or broken, but new and sound. A half-dozen each of tea and table- spoons, silver plated, will cost $1.50, and a set of knives and forks with carvers will cost $1.75. Very cheap carpets can be bought, bat as neat and comfortable a substitute as cap be found will be a tasteful ingrain rug, and the young man can spend a leisure hour painting the floor around it. This rug, large enough for a moderate sized room, can be had for $9.

This will complete the list of absolutely necessary things, and it will sum up as follows : ;

This estimate, of course, supposes that both rooms have closets large enough for clothing anc household articles and sup- plies. If such is not the case, a commo- dious wardrobe can be supplied for $6.50, and a kitchen safe can be added for $2.50. This will add a total of $9, making the total cost $64. To most young people this will be going to housekeeping on a very narrow margin, probably too narrow for the majority, but it can be done, and there can doubtless be an immense amount of solid comfort and happiness inclosed in the little house. —St. Lowis Post-Dispatch.
