Look to the Sphere God Gives Hagar and Ishmael
TALMAGE'S SERMON portrays Hagar and Ishmael in the wilderness as a parable of finding one’s rightful sphere. It urges contentment with the station God assigns, warns against urging others to higher than sanctioned roles, and extols the dignity of every honest labor from plowmaker to queen. The sermon ties biblical exile to modern guidance for mothers and workers alike.

Englishwoman Skins an Alligator on Prairie Farm
An Englishwoman living near Opelousas on a prairie farm skinned an alligator found in a ditch. She and her ten year old daughter removed the entire skin with hatchet and knife after dismissing an awkward hired hand. The cured hide now hangs in her parlor as a rare trophy beside other furnishings. She has traveled much but prefers home, where she paints floors, wallpaper, makes frames, and even carpenters, laying out gardens and brick walks while avoiding plowing and lancing.
