Professor Caldwell talked very interestingly of the impor tant events occurring during the period between 1815 and 1835.

The women of Boston opened their new club-house last week with proper cere monies. "The New Century" is the name of the building and Governor Bates, who was one of the speakers at the opening ceremonies, said that he regarded it as peculiarly appropriate, since the distin guishing marks of the last century had been not so much Its inventions and material progress, as the change it had worked In the status of women. The Century Club met on Tuesday aft ernoon with Mrs. C. I. Jones. After the usual preliminaries, resolutions of sym pathy for Mrs. W. H. McCreery were offered and adopted. It was decided to postpone the proposed open meeting set for January 20, until some later day and give a regular program on that date. The program of Tuesday consisted of a talk by Mrs. A. E.

The first meeting was held about a month ago, and the representation showed better than any thing else what such an organization may accomplish toward bringing wo men workers into sympathetic relations. There were delegates from not only the literary and political societies but the churches as well, and practically every denomination was among the number. The Baptist Ladies' Aid and Congrega tional Missionary societies, Chautauqua Circle, Daughters of Rebekah, Eastern Stars and the Women's Relief Corps were represented, with numerous chari table organizations. The combined mem bership is over 1,300, and as only a few clubs out of the number were banded to gether for purely social reasons these statistics show well the earnest purpose which Influences this council. In welcoming the delegates, Mrs. Frank B. Church, who Is the president of the Anthony club, said; "This body of women has been called together because we believe that a more intimate knowledge of one another's work will result in larger mutual sym pathy, in greater unity of thought and purpose, and therefore In more effective action.

Wayne and Randolph clubs are establishing public libraries. At Key stone the club members have recently raised $50, this amount was duplicated by W. A. Paxton, Jr., and the women will start a library. Falls City nnd St. Paul have each a new club. As a vice president resides at each place, their work speaks for Itself. Several clubs are Inquiring into the subject of federation. Humboldt and AInsworth clubs have ap plied for membership. flPeEaek tranquility In the direction of material progress America easily leads the world. With a country rich in natural resources, and a people Inventive and enterprising, it Is not strange that she should grow great and prosperous. But there is grave danger that Americans may devote too much of their time and energy to money get ting. In trying to become rich by the shortest road, it Is to be feared that the cultivation of the higher qualities of the heart nnd the Intellect may suffer. In connection with this subject, I may mention the fact that business men seem to go on the theory that "time Is mon ey." In order to clip a minute or two from the time they have to give to their meals, they bolt down their food as rap Idly as possible. For the same reason they turn night Into day. The pursuit of the "almighty dollar" Is practically unremitting. Money, Indeed. Is a good thing. But the price given for it In this country Is a little too high. Flesh and blood cannot possibly bear such contin uous strain. No wonder wer frequently hear of business men falling dead In the street or at their desks from heart fail ure. I had an American friend in China, who died only a short time ago. The story of his life is rather Interesting; He went to China when he was a young man. He learned the language of the country, and became an accomplished Chinese scholar. He adapted himself to the ways and habits of those among whom he had cast his lot. and thus became to all Intents and pur poses Chinese In his mode of life. After spending the greater part of his life in China, he made up his mind that he would pass the remainder of his days in the land if his birth, among the scenes of his childhood. According ly, he left China with no Intention of returning. But he reckoned without his host. No sooner had he found himself In New York than the noise and bustle of the metropolis of the New World drove him to distraction. He did not know which way to turn to find rest and quiet, and he took the earliest oppor tunity to go back to China. Thus It Is possible that a man born and bred In strenuous America may prefer the quiet surroundings of China. Wu-Tlng-fang. In Harper's.
