Ono of tlio re BultH of the recent G. A. H. cncattip Meat nt WiiHhington was tho bringing into mora universal prominence and rue M. KSTI'.M.A M'MII.t.AX. ognition an association known as Tho National Alliance of tho Daughters of Veterans of tho United States of America. Ah its imtno HUggestH, this body is kindred to tho Q. A. II. This order hart hurutoforo boon but llttlo known to tho general public, and but for tho fortuuato decision of its ofllcors to hold their third annual convention in conjunction with tho G. A. R. uncain nicnt it would perhaps hnvo remained in tho darkness of Hciuiohscurity. The National allianco in tho outgrowth of n hociety organised seven years since in thin city, and tho formation of that society waa suggested by tho daughter of u veteran soldier, partly through a good natured desire to rival tho efforts of tho local Sons of Veterans' camp. Thissuggestion,madeou Memorial Day, 188Ti, was acted upon, and six days later tho iirst meutiug was held. A permanent local organization was effected on June 1U, and on Dec. 12 of tho same year the secretary of atato of Ohio granted tho society a charter. Tho name of tho wife of Ohio's present gov ernor was chosen as u title, and it is re lated of tho apostlo of protection that ono of the few occasions on which lie lias exhibited signs of deep emotion in public was when informed by n delega tion of Daughters that their tent had been named Mrs. Major McKinley tent, Daughters of Veterans. Miss Minnie F. King, u sister of tho present national executive, and who died on May 10, 181)1, was tho iirst president of tho original tent, and tho other members wero Nellie King, Bertha Martin, Harriet Knapp, Olivo Ilowald, Lovo and Maudo Stevens, Mamo Huber, Maudo Merrill, Frank, Eva and Bertha Merwin, May Bowman and May McMillan. Tho littlo tent flourished under care ful guidance, and its iufluonco soon be came manifest in tho outside world. In 1887 tho Daughteis issued u charter to a branch in Alliance, O. Tho newcomer) adopted tho name of Mrs. John A. Lo gan tent, No. 2. The honor was wisely bestowed, for their namesake has since shown her appreciation by innumerable acts of kindness toward the tent. Tho following year Prairie Depot, O., and Quincy, Ills. tho latter named Caroline- Scott Harrison tent wero char tered, and Ada, O., followed in 1880. When in the latter year an application cuiiio from Keokuk, lit,, the necessity of creating a national association became obvious, and tho original charter of Tent No. 1 was so amended as to adapt it for such requirements. A national constitution was adopted, and Mit.s M. Estelhi McMillan, of Mas sillon, O., was chosen piesidont at the Iirst national convention held at Quincy, Ills., in .Tune, 181)0. Only Ohio, Illinois and Iowa, comprising 101 members, wero represented at tho meeting. Thoframurs of this constitution wero thoMisseaMol- NELLII! A.

Tho second national convention met In tho birthplace of tho order, Massil lon, July 28 to Aug. 1, 1801. Twenty four delegates, representing thirtu i tents in Ohio, Illinois, Nobrasku, Iowa and Massachusetts attended, and Miss Mollio Robertson, of Keokuk, Ia was elected president. At tho third conven tion, which met in Washington Sept. 20 to 23 of tho present year, eleven states sent delegates, and the following states wero reported as admitted during the past year; Arkansas, Missouri, Penn sylvania, Indiana, Wisconsin and Mich igan. During tho Into meeting the Daughters wero accorded much atten tion by Um Grand Army members and by tho cIMeciis' committee of Washing ton. Th oflicers found it of great ad vantage to meet with tho Grand Army, and tho bouelits thus derived in adver tising tho order were such that they propose to meet at Indianapolis next year in conjunction with tho veterans. Miss Nellie A. King, who was chosen national president at Washington, was born in the cradle of tho order, Mnssil Ion, where sho is a teacher in the public schools. Sho is twenty-ons years old and is a charter member of Mrs. Major McKinley tent. Sho vas elected na tional vice president last year, and her universal popularity is attested by the fact that her recent nomination was en tirely tho work of the Massachusetts delegation, and her election was made unanimous by her fellow delegates. She is an enthusiastic worker and her capa bility is unquestioned. Her father, now deceased, was Valentine It. King, an honorably discharged member of the Ono Hundred and Seventh Ohio Volun teer infantry. Tho captain who was placed in com -maud of tho national bark when it wn iirst launched Was Miss M. Kstolla Mc Millan. Shb also is engaged in educa tional work in Massillon, and she was largely instrumental in tho formation of tho national department. Her reward was tho first presidency of tho order, and last year sho acted as treasurer. Sho possesses a wonderful capacity for work, and has much executive ability, Another national officer, tho secretary, Miss Bertha Martin, resides in tho samn city. Sho is a charter member of Tent No. 1, and besides her national position is tho present mustering ofllcer of Ohio. Sho is an earnest and prominent worker in the order, and has always beon iden tified with its more important measures. Tho reports of tho last convention show a membership of 1,100, with tents in twenty states. Fifteen hundred dol lars wereuxpomldl for charity last year, besides $700 for liowers for veterans' graves. The Daughtersaro by no means an aggressive orgaulzati m, their prin- nr.UTItA MAHT1N. clpal aims lieing of a charitable nature and a coinmeudublo desiro to keep green the memory of their fathers. FltANK M. ATWATER. Anrrilotti of Sir IMnlli Arnold. ISpeclul Correspondence. San Fuancisco, Nov. 5. Tho cele brated author, Sir Edwin Arnold, is a very charming man, endowed not only with polished manners, but with a very large idea of his own powers and capa bilities, and in this connection a jour nalist just returned from Japan tells the following story: It must bo prefaced that tho Japaneso tongue presents extraordinary difficulties to westerners, as one set of words and phrases is used upon ceremonious occa sions, and quite another among friends. There are distinct forms for superiors, equals and inferiors. So much is this the case that men who have lived twen ty years in tho country feel a certain nervousness when addressing strangers or speaking in public. Knowing this, iniagiuu tho journalist's surprise to hear that Sir Edwin, just ono year in chrysanthemum land, had been delivering lectures in the vernacular at tho Kyoto university. Travelling from Yokohama to Tokio tho news gatherer had for companions an Englishman who hpoke Japanese fluently and a native student of the aforesaid university. Nat urally tho journalist inquired how tho students enjoyed Sir Edwin Arnold's lecture. Tho Japanese nro a pro-emiuently po lite nation, and tho student looked tin happy, wriggled, drew in his breath, then ti.'tirt: "S,ir Arnold is u very fino man a very great man: ho admires Japan." This with pride. Then a look of yearning and anxiety cauio over his face. "His lectures uu very fine beautiful but, oh, wo woi , 1 like so much to know what he lecture., about." To cap tho climax, the scrllKi was in troduced tho next day to Sir Edwin him self, and almost his first words wore an apology for not calling as "ho was go ing to lecture at Kyoto university." The journalist had considerable diffi culty iu maintaining u decorous gravity. S. M. Dixon. Teaching In "pain Ii Tovrly l'iC, The condition of the public teachers iu Spain is not to bo envied.

WHAT LIBERALTHOUGHT AND UROAD MINDS MEAN FOR ALL. Intellectual (Irowtli Will Not Make Wiimm l.ena lnit Mure l'onitantonahle. Ilrlitlit Wunli train a Thoughtful Woni an A Joy t Wirt ami Mother. The advantages of what President Dwlght calls "Intellectual onenfM" in mar ried life are probably obvious to all; but I may say that lltejr nro tho most obvious when we leave unhappy marriage out of light, as very possibly duo to tuner causes thnn intellectual disparity, and contrast linppy married lives devoid of true com panionship with happy married lives which include It. We have seen many happy marrlnges where, there Is no more Intellec tual kinship between the man and his wife than bctwt en hint and his little children', butt hem are kinds and degrees of eon teutnieiit, satisfaction and active enjoy ment. Love which peislsts In spile of (11 v pnrltles, limitations and hindrances, niul love which persists with full Inlellet dial sympathy, true comradeship, ucutiluc fileuiNhlp, are very unlike In I lie measure of happiness they can bestow. As It Is be tween wife and liush.inil, so It Isofcntiisr between mother and ehlhlieii. .Many mothers who have no Intellect, ut all and scarcely even a tlnctuie of common seno are fondly loved by their Intelligent sons; but docs such love as this profit them or prollt their sons, even in the way of liapil ness, 1 ml r so much as the love between an other mother mid the sons who Unil her their Intellectual equal, their Intelligent companion, their imiil sjmpuihctiu friend The higher education, tightly pursiud and really gullied, Is not an Influence that will make woman pedants, prudes, prigs or bllicatockiUKs,shlevs,aumlis or haul, cold, scmlmusculliin monstrosities. To he broad minded, clear mludeil, free mlnihil, active minded is not of necessity, nor even of likelihood, to h.ihtrnug minded. Indeed, the more a woman knows of life, the better she uudcrMatidH the past and present of the world and the extierletiees and couelii slousof its greatest thlukeis, the less likely she will Im to confuse the masculine and feminine ideals or to underrate the latter In comparison with the former. It Is the narrow, superficial education of women which leads them to maintain that there Is "no dilferencu" between them selxesnud men, or that men's normal op portunlties are loftier than their own, and which consequently make them envy men and desire to step Into their place. The really educated woman, the onu Svhose mind really knows and thinks, can eO'in prebend better than any onu es the true meaning and glory of womanhood, (he true Importance of its peculiar responsi bilities, the true value and charm of lis peculiar privileges; for she alone is ublo to attest and appraise these things, and, moi e over, she has learned that the growth of civilization implies a progressive special izution of capabilities and efforts, and that tho advancement of women has meant a steady departure from that primitive bar baric state where men mid women wete not more wildly differentiated than are mule and female animals today. If she claims a share in the man's right to a higher education, it is first of nil that she maybe fitted to do work which a man cannot possibly do, and may help the world aloiiK in a way tliut Is parallel, not idem leal, with his. Far from being unlucky as regards pes Blblliticb of Intellectual cultivation, the women of America seem to mo lucky above their brothers. They can develop them selves as individuals without thinking of wagu earning, and if they must develop less quickly they have time iu moru than the needful proportion. Nor does this ap ply merely to the years of early prepara tion. i:cntlie busy mother of u fundi), unless sho Is so poor that all the domestic work falls upon her own hands, has at least as many free Iioui-h in the day as her husband; and although her day's work Is at least as important and significant as his, it docs not exhaust her brain as most kinds of money making do. And when the minds of women Inteiest anil satisfy men as much as their bodies and souls, I think the fundamental, mil ersal sentiment will persist and even de velop, that the stronger kind will ho better regulated and that thu uioiii foolish kind will decrease. Married men, I am sine, will be happier with their wives. Unmar ried men will, choosi) their wives more wisely; or, if tho llulitulliK of lovo stili strlkesat laudoiu, the bolt will mote often be thrown by a sensible us well as a charm ing joung woman, And when associating with women whom they do not think of nun rymg, all men will bu less npt than they nro today to feel that sentimentality Is expected of them or Is likely to be of feredtothem. And, once more, as It will bo with men, so, conversely, it will bo with women. Often today there Is small com moti ground for that intimacy between men and women to which nature prompts except sentimental ground. Widen t'e field of companionship and the danger of no undue cultivation of the sentimental t wt will bu decreased. When women have taught men that they want and valuu leal fiieudship, thai they can bu loyal, interesting and proflt.i ble friends in thu same sense that men are to one another, yet always with that dell cato flavor of dillcrcucu which will make femiuliiu friendship desirable, no matter how much masculine friendship may bu at hand, then men will not lm so ready to drop luto thu attitude of lovers or make belluvu lovers.
