Home and its Queen.
There Is probably not an unperverted
man or woman living, who does not feel
that the sweetest consolation and best
rewards of life are found in the loves
and delights of home. There are very
few who do not feel themselves indebted
to the influences that clustered around
their cradles for whatever good there
may be In their character and condition.
Home based upon Christian marriage is
SO evidently an institution of God that
man must become profane before he
can deny it. Wherever it is pure and
true to the Christian idea, there lives an
institution constructed of all the nobler
instincts Of society. Of this realm
woman is Queen. It takes the cue and
hue from her If she is in the best sense
womanly-if she Is true and tender, low
ing and heroic, patient and self-devoted
she consciously and tinconsciously or
ganizes and puts In operation a set of
influences that do more to mold the des-
tiny of the nation that any man un-
crowned by power Of eloquence can pos
sibly effect. The men of the nation are
what mothers make them, as rule; and
the voice that these men speak in the ex-
preston of power is the voice of the
woman who bore and bred them. There
can be no substitute for this. There is.
no other way in which the women of the
nation can organize their Influence and
power that it will tell so beneticially
upon society and the state. -,Scrt6ncr'S

WOmcn'S Pockets.
"Oh, DEAR" sighed young woman,
after exploring the festoons and furbe-
lows of her new spring suit with des-
dressmakers would put in pocket Or
I wish / was q man. Bob, how many
pockets have you got?" Brother Bob
after some. seconds of profound arith-
! metical effort answered with delibera-
ton tinged with sadness: "Well, letus
see, four and three is seven and four is
eleven. but I mean to have another put
in my vest right away, and an .insidL
one on both sides Of my coat would be
handy. Father carries things some
times in his hat, but / can generally get
along with about a. dozen pockets. "
Pockets are privilege which must be
opened to the female sex. The incon-
veniences of feminine attire for business
purposes are sufficiently onerotts with
out making it barren of pockets. Trim
ming is most all pockets nowadays, ex-
cept that they seem to be put on wrong
side out. Even the lady's purse has to
be carried in the hand, or is exposed IN
shallow outside bag, with mouth gap
ing to the passer-by. There is scarcely
woman's right of which the sex is III
more dire need than the right to
pockets. It is a concession which will
not be gained perhaps till wrung from
dressmakers by a campaign at the
ballot-box. But it will have to come.
When it was once decided to teach
women the alphabet, ali other exclusive
immunities of manhood were thrown
open to her, and in due time pockets

why Eve Had No Servant. 'tr
A lady furnishes some of the. reasons
why Eve did not keep hired girl:

Not he. He made the fire and hung the

did not call Eve up from the kitchen to

She Read Her Title Clear.

student was detailed to assist young
lady, whom he had long admired from
