MINISTERS' WIVES. Their Place in the Paxish and Their Qualifications. Mm. l.ynmn Abbott Speaks of a from Br. TtilmaRe, Sirs.

Beecher nna Mrs. Theodore L. Cuyler. 1S91.1 Rev. Dr.

Talmag-e sat in his study the other evening-, his eyes fixed quizzically on a bronze boy of Egyptian aspect stood patiently in the doorway carrying candles. "I used to read," he said, "a good deal of literature on the subject of ministers' "I wish my wife would tell you how were all those stories of pulling- and hauling 1 of cSnstant demands, of fault-finding. "Congregations as a rule are composed of ladies and gentlemen, who make the position of the minister's wife an especially pleasant one. My wife knows of hundreds, yes, of thousands, of ministers' wives, all happy, all honored. "The place a pastor's wife should take in the congregation depends on herself.

Her call may be to her husband's flock or it may be simply to the dings of her household. This is a matter for her own decision. "The qualification she needs especially is common sense, for she may be a great hindrance to her husband's work or a strong- reinforcement." When one has a glimpse of the experiences, the chances for observation, the responsibilities and- the opportunities that come to such a woman as Mrs. Xiyman Abbott, the wife of the pastor of Plymouth church, one hesitates over the question how much one is justified in making- known. For Mrs.

Abbott lives in her home. "If my children," she says, "felt themselves defrauded or my husband wished- It otherwise, even if my judgment did not agree with theirs, I could not go outside." In the early days of their married life Mr. Abbott was a lawyer and Mrs. Abbott studied his cases with him, copied legal papers and absorbed herself in his labors. When he felt himself drawn to the ministry still her thought was to forward his undertakings.

So it has teen during the years given to the pnl- pit and to editorial duties. "I know of no demands," she says, on a minister's wf ie, but I see privileges. A pastor must be in some sees' liow many starid ready to relievo it." So strangsly near does a woman like Mrs. Abbott stand to the trials, the joys and the sorrows that make up tha daily lives of other people. Of the Ladies society of Plymouth enure! Mrs.

Henry Ward Beecher is president and on rainy afternoons the member spare her the labor of going out gathering in the parlors of her home in Orange street, flowerdeckcd and voca with bird songs. "The work of a pastor's wife," say Mrs. Beecher, "must differ widely in different eases. Some ministers believ their wives can aid them most efficient ly by giving them quiet and restfu homes, others like to see their wive, active also in parish duties. "In my own case, five of my seven brothers became ministers and a siste: MBS.

"There's good deal of talk against "the churches, but much 01 that comes people who don't know what the churches are doing. I would like to see a church so organized that every woman ton becoming a member should be asked Isy kt once on what committee she could much or little time. Then once 4 year there might be a grand rallying day with accounts of things done. i "Plymouth church. has its mission Jj churches, the May flower and the and it is" a-constant pleasure to watch the transformation of women who come Jn with shawls over their heads, poor, 'discouraged.

"Then there are two working girls' dubs with their educating influences. ie little girls of the 'junior club' sew iuid cook, and one day not long ago when they gavft an exhibition I -was able to attend they sent -me a bos -with a beautiful -biscuit and a' piece of pie J- and some cake and a great variety of (£, thiags, all daintily made-in the cramped quarters of their-own homes, "Then there is the Yo-ong Women's PC league: They have made towels for gymnasium, bringing the young a men of the church into- sympathetic re- flations with its cultivated young wom- en. Last summer they sent a of linen to the Holiday house of the working girls. We read together Whitcomb Riley's little poem of 'The honest stitches on the under for I wanted the things made fine and neat 'or girls whose low wages often press -them to think more of dress than of underwear.

Then there the broader charities of the city, want the pastor's name, and his sympathy. One could give one's in each of so many directions.

The leeds that force themselves on one's at- ition would discourage and over- helm, did not help and sympathy also at every turn. Money some- is sent me anonymously, articles got clothing have been left at the door, if one sees necessities one also married a minister, so that before my marriage I understood the life I was entering on. "I made it my first effort to spare Mr. Beecher's time by attending to his correspondence and to financial matters. Our desks stood in adjoining windows, and it was only with' the most important letters that I troubled him.

Some of these he answered, on others he would write four or five words as a guide to me. The checks for his salary were made payable to me, and if he wanted money he came to me for it, except that he retained the proceeds of his lectures, making himself a fund 'spending "I saw all callers who came to the house, so many of them only curiosity seekers. When he was in the house I never left it, and so his eneugies were not drawn on except in cases of importance and urgency. "I was not able to do in addition a great amount of parish visiting, though I did what was possible. In my early married life I was asked to lead the female prayer meeting, but it was very hard for me and I did not continue.

"It was in the war days that we were lifted out of ourselves completely. I remember the dispatch that came to us one at Mr. Beecher. recuperating from hay fever, saying that his Brooklyn the other regiments at Fort Schuyler were without food, and without clcthcs. li came dowii to the city immediately and crossed to Fort to se the condition of things.

I wouldn' think of being pulled across the Nar rows in a rowboat now, but then on tune to think of being afraid Then I went about to the bakers fo their stale loaves, and with an expres to the shops for mattresses an blankets I can't talk abou ministers' wives. If I had thought th reminiscenses I have been writing would have taken me back through so many years of my life I could not have begun them," and Mrs. Beecher's face beneath her white hair became thoughtful. The wife of Eev. Dr.

Theodore whose influence through his books, has been world-wide, believes that the work of the minister's wife can be done most gently and efficiently in her own home. "A minister," she says, "sometimes marries before he fixes on his.profes- sion and usually marries to suit himseU rather congregation. If his wife makes him happy in his home anc leaves him as free as possible to pursue his work untrammeled, she aids him most effectually. "When some of his parishioners asked me for my-portrait for a memorial they were designing in commemoration oi Mr. Curley's thirty years pastorate, 1 'declined giving it, on the ground that I years, anil 1 speak from experience." It is the minister's wives who see the social side of their husband's churches, of whom men and women alike make confidants, who must perforce have wide experience thrust upon them and to whom, the country over, are carried a large share of humanity's troubles.

RI.IX.A PUTNAM HK.VTOX. AN OLD-TIME OFFICIAL. He Has Filled Many to Everybody's Satlsfiiction, James K. Young, executive clerk of the United States senate, was for many years one of the most popular men in. Washington.

He is a quiet, dignified, self-contained, honorable gentleman, a thoroughbred newspaper man, and absolutely reliable. He is, however, now a bank president in Philadelphia, and seldom finds time to return to the scenes which he was so long familiar, and of which he was such a prominent part. Por awhile during the administration of President Arthur Mr. Young was chief clerk of the department of justice. He accepted that position solely to accommodate his friend, Attorney-General Brewster.

During Ms incumbency of that position he made many friends for the attorney-general and for the administration. As executive clerk of 'the senate, Mr. Young has been for many years the custodian of the secrets of the executive sessions of the American house of lords. He has been present at every secret session, and has recorded the proceedings. It will be half a century or more before these proceedings will be published The senate is exceedingly jealous of those occurrences and sayings which are kept from the world, in those executive sessions.

Very frequently the senators say things, and say them in a manner which would be considered undignified, in Open senate. None but a most thoroughly trustworthy man can fill such a place. IS CURED SCROFULA It is that Impurity in the blood, which, accumulating in tho glands of tho neck, produces unsightly lumps or swellings; which causes painful running sores on the arms, legs, or feet; which developes ulcers in the eyes, ears, or nose, olten causing blindness or deafness; which is the origin of pimples, cancerous growths, or the many other manifestations usually ascribed to "humors;" which, fastening upon the lungs, causes consumption and death. Being tho most ancient, it is the most general of all diseases or for very few persons are entirely free from it. How Can It Be By taking Hood's S.irsapariila, which, by the remarkable cures it has accomplished, often when other medicines have failed, has proven itself to bo a potent and peculiar medicine for this disease.

Some of these cures are really wonderful. If you suflerfrom scrofula, be sure to try Hood's Sarsapariila. My daughter Mary was afflicted with scrof- uloussoreneckfrom the time she old till she became six years of age. Lumps formed in her neck, and one of them after growing to the size of a pigeon's egg, became a running sore for over three years. We gave her Hood's Sarsapariila, when the lump and all indications of scrofula entirely disappeared, and now she seems to be a healthy child." .1.

How the human system ever recovers from the bad effects of the nauseous medicines often literally poured into it for the suppositive relief of dyspepsia, liver complaint, constipation, rheumatism and other ailments, is a mystery. The mischief done by bad medicines is scarcely less than that caused by disease.

If they who are weak, bilious, dyspeptic, constipated or rheumatic, would oftener be guided by the experience of invalids who have thoroughly tested Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, they would in every instance obtain the speediest aid derivable from rational medication. This medicine is a searching and at the same time a thoroughly safe remedy, derived from vegetable sources, and possessing, in consequence of its basis of pure spirits, properties as a medicinal stimulant not to be found in the fiery local bitter and stimulants often resorted to by the debilitated, dyspeptic and languid.

Frank Baker, Judge of the Circuit Court ofr Cook County, says: some respects it is a vast improvement over the English Britannica- Ihe English edition contains no biographies of eminent Americans or Englishmen now living, and tbe biographies of those who are dead are less These deficiencies are remedied in the Americanized edition, making it an.

invaluable compeod of facts absolutely essential to historical information. I- consider it a most valuable book in any way you look at it. For the man who book of reference for use I consider it invaluable. It is also a vel of cheapness and an indispensable auxilary to every library." Lyman J. Gage, President World's Columbian Exposition And vice president of the First National Bank, say: "The movement inaugurated to supply the people with the Americanized Encyclopaedia Britannica is a marked indication of an advance in the intellectual taste of the community.

Under the easy conditions of purchase of the work it ought to be in everyjibrary, however humble." From the Chicago Herald: 'The Americanized Encyclopedia Britannica is a magnificent aad valuable possession for every household. It presents for the first time a complete reference library at a price and on terms within reach of every family." From Colonel G-eo. Davis, Director General of the World's Fair: "The work is a most praiseworthy undertaking. Any legitimate method, by people are presented an opportunity for the purchase at a reasonable cost of works of standard literature or works of importance as the means of acquiring a practical and substantial education deserves the fullest, possible recognition. The Americanized Encyclopaedia Britannica appears to- have met the requirements in all respects.

I commend the work pleasure." E. St. John, General Manager of the Rock Island Rail- Road System, Expresses his conclusions in the following- direct and emphatic language: 1 'The remarkable enterprise in offering to the public on terms inviting a work of such merit as the Americanized Encyclopaedia Britannica can but result in benefit to every person securing it. The Encyclopaedia needs uo commendation. Every page speaks for itself and attests its value." From the St.

Louis Republic: "The Americanized Encyclopcedia Britannica is not the Encyc-lopzedia. Britannica in its old form, but the Encyclopedia Britannica Americanized and so Americanized to make it a thousand-fold more valuable to- American Headers than the English edition." Colonel Sexton, Postmaster of Chicago, says: "I think it is a valuable addition to the publications of the year. One feature of the book must suggest itself to all is, the comprehen sive manner in which the topics are presented. Instead of being obliged to read through a column of matter to get at the gist of trie-subject the latter is presented in detail in the most condensed, concise and. presentable from the start.
