THE GOSPEL OF CHANGE

Change is an intellectual tonic. It is
the renewal of all life's forces and the
means whereby one may set himself to
the key of new achievements. New
scenes, new people, new places, may pro-
duce friction, but they generate the cleo
tricity of existence and result in force
that works outward in genuine accom-
plishment. To multitudes of women GER
tairly, should the ethics of an occasional
new atmosphere especially commend it
self. Women are too apt to confine
themselves to a monotonous r0und OF
daily life and monotony, in whatever
form it may come, is inevitably narrow
ing in its tendency. SO far as actual re-
suits go, the quality of this monotony is
of less moment than one might fancy.
Many women deny themselves the adj
vantages of new atmosphere on mistak-
Ell grounds of ceremony. A weeks visit
to neighboring city, involving SO many
incidental expenses Of travel, of hotel
bill, of that indispensable something to
wear"-all thesh the careful wife and
mother estimates and feels they are
luxury she cannot well afford
Yet just here is the fallacy Of it. Bet

phere, and let the parlor go without a
carpet. There is no possible inspiration
in carpet. 1t is not Suggestive or remu-
lucrative in any way, and ten chances to
one it is not even ornamental. But let
the mistress of the nenage put this sum
to herself, to return bright, refreshed,
elastic, sunshiny, and what an intimate,
harvest of household happiness springs
from that paying investment, Some
times the new atmosphere may come
without money and without cost.
There are few women who know tie
possibilities that lie in walk, a ramhle,

THE POSTAGE STAMP FIEND.

In writing about the postage fiend, it
must be understood, in the first place,
that the word ''fiend " is used in Pick
wickian sense, That word in days gone
by meant an imp of darkness-one of
Satan's emissaries. OF late it has &C
quired, in this country at least, new
significance, one which, We are surprised
to see, is not in the latest editions of the
dictionaries, but which will no doubt in
due time appear there. We speak nova
days Of the hand-organ fiend, the sub
scription book fiend, the prize package
fiend and we do not mean thereby to
consign the persons mentioned to the in
fernal regions, except metaphorically. 1t
may be the term is used sometimes in
stead of word which itself bears traces
of a very colloquial, not to say slangy.

We mean by the postage stamp iiend, We
do not mean the person, generally boy,
who is intent on collecting all the stamps
of different nationalties, and who, when
the mania seizes him, becomes hopelessly

earthly possessions and his future pros

This form of possession is bad enough,

WHAT SOCIAL CLASSES OWE TO
EACH OTHER.
On New Philosophy; That Poverty is
the Best Policy.
BY PROF. W. G. SUMNER.

1t is commonly asserted that there are
in the United States no classes, and any
illusions 10 classes is resented. On the
other had, we constantly read and hear
discussions Of ocial topics in which the
existence of social classes is assumed as
simple fact. 1.-The poor" "the weak"
''the laborers," are expressions which are
constantly used as if they had exact and
well-understood definition. Discussions
are constantly made to bear upon the as
sumed rights, wrongs, and misfortunes of
certain social classes, and all public speak
ing and writing consists, in large
measure, of the discussion of general
plans for meeting the wishes of classes
of people who have not been able to
satisfy their own desires. These classes
are sometimes discontinued, and some
times not. Sometimes they do not know
that anything is amiss with them until
the "friends of humanity" come to them
with offers of aid. Sometimes they arc
disseminated and envious. They do hot
take their achievements as fair measure
of their rights. They do not blame them
selves OF their parents for their lot, as
compared with that of other people.
They raise claims against society, and
they find orators, poets, and essayists to
assure them that they have grievances.
1t is very popular to pose as a ''friend
of humanity or a ''friend of the work
ing classes" The character, however, is
quite exotic in the United States. 1t is
borrowed from England, where some
men, otherwise of small account, have
assumed it with great success and advant-
age. Anything which has a charitable
sound and kind hearted tone passes
without investigation generally, because
it is disagreeable to assail it. Sermons,
essays, and orations assume conventional
stand point with regard to the poor, the
weak, etc, and it is allowed to pass as an
classes that "the rich ought to "care for
the poor" that churches especially ought
to collect capital from the rich and spend
it for the poor, that parishes ought to be
clusters Of institutions by means of which
one social class should perform it's duties
to another, and that clergymen, econom-
lists, and social philosophers have tech
meal and professional duty to devise
schemes for ''helping the poor" The
preaching in England used all to be done
to the poor-that they ought to be con-
tented with their lot and respectful to
their betters. Now the greatest part of
the preaching in America consists in
injunctions to those who have taken care
of themselves to perform their assumed
duty to take care of others. Whatever
