Street Filtration.

So much has recently been written in con-
domination of the ''masher' that q few
words on either side of the question will not
be amiss. While not designing to present
the masher as a saint, we would suggest
that the burden of responsibility of street
flirtations be placed upon the shoulders of
those who justly should bearithem. Braz-
en- as the male street-firt appears, he will
not often speak to woman who offers him
no encouragement.
1t would be poor sort of fun for him to in
vite attention all day long if his invitation
met with no response. tits manifest that the
girls are to blame for his presence upon the
street. Let them lay aside their dashing
boldness of manner, which they often fool
ishly imagine denotes independence, but
which is as dangerous as it is unseemly.
Such demeanor proyokes remarks from
men and women which would make the
ears of the average maiden Jingle with indig-
nation could she but hear them. There is
no doubt that many girls are lacking in
that modesty which would enttle them to
consideration. With these the street tiirta-
tion, frequently resulting in acquaintance,
is a great frolc; but these very girls
would soon assume manner not in accord
EIa;, oIn nta them
selves as others see them. Very few girls
wish to be considered fast, yet they can by
sudden recklessness of conduct while in
public places easily earn the appellation.
They may not be guilty of any crime, but
they will as certainly lose the respect OF
every one whose respect is worth having as
though they were This particularly ap-
plies to women who have reached or passed
beyond the age Of twenty. What may be
readily overlooked in the schoolgirl of ff-
teen will not be forgotten in her sister OF
maturer years. In no other country are
unmarried women allowed so much freedom
as in our own. In view of the disastrous
results of this custom it would seem to be
the part of wisdom to adopt the Old World
fashion of chaperones. If, however, the
girls and young women can be made to un
derstand the use of liberty and will conduct
themselves accordingly, the ''masher's" vo
cation will be gone, anu he will gradually
disappear from the public places.

The Sabbath Saves America.

1t is not enough considered by students of
how great gift to the laboring |
classes and to the whole world, is the |
Christian Sunday 1t has become so great
a necessity to the civilized world, that the |
wonder is how the non-christian races, or
classic peoples, were able to do without
such day.
Plato says somew here, that leisure is nee
essary to the acquisition of virtue, and that,
therefore, no workiDgman can acquire it.
Plutarch calls it one of the most beautiful
and happy inventions of Lycurgus, that he
obtained for the citizens the greatest leisure
by forbidding them to occupy themselves
with any mercenary work.
Christianity early obtained for the work
ing classes of the Roman empire this great
blessing, and not through the Greek method
of creating class of helpless heiots, but by
the institution of the Lords day.
Under the prodigious impulse of the lead
ing rates of modern times toward produc-
ton and the acquiring of material wealth,
there would have come without some such
day an absolute breaking down of the phys
ieal power, wearing out of the brain, and
corresponding moral degeneracy In fact,
the Christian Sabbath may be said to have
saved the modern European and Anglo
American races. Had the greed for money
never known any enforced rest; had the
wheels of the factory, hum of the market,
and the din of business sounded through the
streets seven days-not through six, and
no customary day called away thoughts to
things not bought or sold the modern peo-
Pile might have run down to the lowest
point of materialism.
The Lords day is the greatest external
gift of the Christian religion to the working
classes. The laborer is ensured his rest.
His production apparently cut short one

excessive strctness, the workingman OF

In all countries neminally under the
teaching of Jesus, this day has relaxed the

his family, reminding him that he is some

Social yuIRariftes.

A truly unselfish person is never vulgar,
because he thinks of others more than OF
