Useful Lives.

In an article ON Ideals of Feminine
Usefulness" In the FOrtijightLy RcUieU,
Edith Seinc0x considers the lives Of
those two philanthropic women, Dorothy
Pattison (Sister Dora) and Mary Carpen-
ter. In the course of the article she
touches upon q point which has probably
occasiOned not q little thought to all
those interested in the lives of women of
special careers. She says: "'We are
tempted to ask whether this (happily
elastic) theory of the 'womanly sphere
Is In any way answerable for the under
current of melancholy, common to the
lives of two women as strong, as differ
ent and as successful es Dorothy Pattison
and Mary Carpenter. Both were thor.
oughly sane in body and mind, with well.
proportioned, equally developed natures,
free from any morbid leanings, and both
found their way at last to the work for
which they were supremely fitted. And
yet, reverenced, adored and valued as
the memory of each and the work of
both must be, it is certain that most old
fashioned believers in the 'womanIy
sphere will turn from the two memoirs
with a compassionate sigh Poor
things! they would have been happier
married and with a pack of children. ,
Clearly it is more important that the
Bristol ragamuffins, should be reclaimed,
and the jails of Bombay and Montreal
reformed, than that one more non-con-
formist minister should have an exem-
plary wife; it is more important that as
many as are sick or sorry In Stafordshire
should have Dora for their sister than
she should be happy (if she could in
Frightening a single home But thevery
question that we wish to raise is begged
by this way of stating the alternative.
It is not In sane human nature to feel
permanent regret because things mutu-
ally exclusive cannot be possessed to-
gether. Women, IS well as men, can
find genuine happiness in the Fbest pos
sible' life; they are not condemned by
nature to spend strength IN yearning
after some composite impossibihty; and
it may be that If our two sane and sen
sible heroines fail to find content III tAe
best possibilities open to themselves, the
fault may not lie with them, but in the
arbitrary external limits OF the posi-
biity,"

A Soft Answer.

One day at school Amy broke pref
ty inkstand that belonged to her friend
Clara. 1t was quite an ACCIDENT, but
Clara, who was very passionate, did not
think so; and at first Amy was too much
to explain. After school Cla-
ra hurried away, and Amy soon follow
ed, for she would not rest without being
forgiven. When she reached the deor
of CIara's home she felt almost afraid to
lift the latch, and, just as she expected,
CIara's first words showed she was very
angry. But when Amy said Dear Cla-
ra, / am so sorry. Won't you forgive
me P'' her passion was all gone. She
could not be angry any more with one
who was so gentle. How true are the
werds, A soft answer turneth away
wrath. ."-iSezected.

PARSONS, KS, Nov. 1.-THE stockholders
of the Missouri, Kansas 81 Texas railroad
met IN the company's Office here this after
noon. Over 10000 shares, or more than
two thirds of the stock was represented. II
was unanimously voted to increase the
stock to not less than $25,00O,000, for the
purpose of extending line of road from
Whitestro, twenty-five miles from Denison,
Texas, to Camargo, on the Rio Grande river,
distance of 500 miles; also to build line
from Muskogee, Indian Territory, to Fort
Smith, Arkansas also to build such addi-
tional lines as will secure early and the
closest connection with New Orleans. The
money has already been subscribed to secure
the speedy construction of all these con-
templated roads, adding some 600 miles to
the 800 miles of road owned and operated
by this company. At Camargo the M. K. &
7. will connect with road running to the
city of Mexico, a distance of about 60C
miles, and subsidized literally by the gov
eminent of Mexico in the interest of General
Palmer and others, the builders of the road
making in all about 1,500 miles under one
management. A dispatch was received say
ing the road had been turned over to Jay
Gould, giving him possession and control
1t is under his inspiration that these new
lines are to be built. dispatch was also
received from Independence, Kas., stating
that subsidy could be had for building
southwest from Parsons. The parties here
are requested to confer with Jay Gould.
