NOTHING is more democratic than
the average American railway train,
for it represents every class, and is
no respector of persons. The mil
honaire and the lowest member of
the proletariat may possibly occupy
contiguous seats. People who never
by any circumstances are found to-
gether in the same room jostle against
each other IN the cars and show what
thin partitions divide the various
classes in this democratic country.
If that water which Is constantly in
motion, and whose particles come
frequently in diverse contact is al
ways the freshest and sweetest, why
may we not carry out an anology
from it and say that the social cur
rent also which experiences such
conditions Is, in a similar way, made
the better for it. It should at least
be preventative against both deca-
dence and stagnation.

A WRITER on the aesthetics of mod
ern life says readjustment of voca-
tions that women must look for the
new and wider life. The trend of
the day is toward Capitalization of
definite work, and as toward recop-
milton of the great principles of CO.
operation as basis for living. Just
what will be the immediate effect of
this rapid decrease of the individual
home, is problem for the social sci
enlist. But Que who watches closely
the signs of the times cannot but rec
ognize that most of the laborious es-
sentials of housekeeping are being as
surely done away with as are the
weaving and spinning of former gen.
erations. The apartment hotel is
taking the place of the separate
house. The manufactures.of ready
made clothing and of house-linens
and Of other furnishings does away
with the family sewing.

DECISION of character will do much
toward a mans success in life. The
man whose determinations depend
very much on other human beings,
has small chance for consistency or
stability. His lrresoluteness will
place him at the mercy of those with
whom he comes in contact, and he
will be like the thistle down, ready
to be blown in any direction whatey-
er. Such infirmity of spirit makes
him practically slave. with. whom
men can do as they please. If a
man would have high place in the
estimation of his fellow-men, as well
as success in business, by all means
let him cultivate decision of charac-
ter

A VAssAR COLLEGE girl graduate
treated the ''dude" in her commence
ment essay: "God made the dude,
therefore let him stand for a man.
Man wants but little here below, but
wants that little long. The dude is
a curious specimen of the genus
homo, mc.de over year ago. The
brain of dude is not the real brain
it is only something like it. The OBJ
ject of the dude Is to render himself
agreeable to society. Had Darwin
lived he would have used the dude
as an illustration of the development
of the species. His plumage, though
not brilliant, is abundant. All the
sensible people of both sexes tire Of
him. In the future he will exist only
in a museum Of anatomy"

A WRITER on health very justly
condemns lounging, in which large
number of persons indulge, as injur-
ious to health. He says: "An erect
bodily attitude is of vastly more I'M
portance to health than is generally
imagined. Crooked bodily positions
maintained for any length of time,
are always injurious, whether in a
sitting, standing or lying posture,
whether sleeping or waking. To sit
with the body leaned forward on the
stomach or on one side, with the heels
elevated to level with the head, is
not only in bad taste, but exceeding
ly detrimental to health. 1t cramps
the stomach, presses the vital organs
interrupts the free motions of the
chest. and enfeebles the functions of
the abdominal and thoracic organs,
and in fact unhalances the whole
muscular system. Many children
become slightly humpbacked or Sc
verely round-shouldered by sleeping
with the head raised on high pillow.
When any person finds it easir to sit
or stand, or walk or sleep in crook
ed position than straight one, such
a person may be sure his muscular
system is badly deranged, and the
more careful he Is to preserve a
straight or upright position, and get
back to natu.e again, the better"

Afterwards.

Most wives, after a year or so OF
welded life, admit to themselves, il
not to one or two personal friends
an unwise confidence, by the way
that husbands differ essentially from
lovers in their department towards
the chosen of their hearts.
The ''sweet, small courtesies"
which rendered the lover so irresisti-
bic are forgotten or put aside.
The wife's reign was short enough
and now she who was sovereign lady
must minister to the wants of her
former slave-now her lord.
She does not doubt her husbands s
fealty; she knows that he is ready
for all the big things of life; but she,
who longs for the every day demon
stration of love, would rather have
the little things. To her it is not
the great sacrifice, the all-day work
and weariness that constitute eyi-
dence of affection he would be do
ing th% for some other woman, who
he would have married, probably, If
he had not married her; but
what was evidence of love before
marriage, is to her that evidence
now, and only that-just these little
cares of which her husband feels him
self allowablv relieved the things
that warmed her girlish heart, the
things he would be doing for her
personality alone. And now he is
Indifferent and careless, not only
when they are alone, but-the worst
stiug of all-when in company.
Woman's pride is usually equal to
her love. She cannot bear that the
world should see her husbands neg
lect of her; she wants people to see,
by his outward demeanor, that she
has been able to preserve his love.
The small attentions of other men
do not compensate for his neglect.
A husband has thousand inter-
ests in the world besides himself; q
wife has only her husband. Her
love for him and his neglect of her
make her life and thought too mar
row for endurance.
It must be admitted that women
are sometimes to blame for this state
of affairs, vixen or a sloven cannot
hope to retain her husbands love
and respect. But, as rule, it is the
man, not the woman, who ignores
the little courtesies which sweeten
life. 1t is the wife who tries to make
home what it should be, and herself
as lovely an object as may be in her
lords eyes; and 1t is often by this
course of hers that his neglect comes
about.

A Chinese Belle.

A Chinse belle is a curiosity to
Cinnamon, as well as TO the Chris
tians. Even her own country-wo-
men look upon her with as much
wonder as admiration. One reason
of this is her rarity. Bellies in China
are rare birds of rare plumage. No
ordinary community can afford the
luxury of possessing more than one
or two such dazzling charmers. As
speech with the male sex is of course
forbidden her, her features, eyes,
cheeks and silent lips must all be ell
oquent. Her skin must have great
firmness of texture to endure the
continual coatings of white and YER
million paint which the laws of her
being enjoin. Her feet must not ex-
ceed three inches in length nor one
inch in breadth. The finger-nails of
her last three fingers must be as long
as their fingers. These last two
points are the especial glory of the
Chinese fashion. Her daily life does
not differ much from that Of To- .1v
OF fashion In days of Pepys or the
y ySccunger Walpole. Suspicious of the
morning mists' she never rises be-
fore noon. Breakfast is served in
her own room by her servants. This
languid meal over, she begins the Sc
rious business of her life. Hair by
hair, supported by three or four hair
dressers, she attacks the tangled
locks in whose adornment she finds
her chief pride. Both mistress and
maids labor for three or four hours,
with snatches of rest, and, thorough
ly exhausted by their task at six
O'Clock, sit down at their dinner.
Each province has its separate meth
cd of dressing the hair, eighteen in
all, and the fashion of women's
hair betrays her residence. The
handsomest coiffure is worn by the
women of Khan Lu, that boasts the
UCduClAul CLGtOo VI COO SAOW dA0
Shanghai. Strangely enough, the
belle is the only woman in China who
has shadow of freedom. She is al
lowed to go to theaters, and even to
pay visits, with far less surveillance
than her less favored sisters.
There is something in the black
patch that she wears next her left
temple, or by the corner of her
mouth, that checks any attempt at
improperly. A belle, of course,
never walks, and rarely ever waddle's
but is almost always born in sedan
char. She is an adept in the Ian
guage of the eyes, and through
those silent windows can signal more
persuasive arguments than fame with
her hundred tongues.

A FEcpLIARIFE about the blind is
that there are scarcely any smokers
among them. Soldiers and sailors,
who lose their sight in action, some-
times continue to smoke for little
while, but, as a rule, they soon give
up the habit. They say it gives
them no pleasure when they cannot
see the smoke and some have said
that they cannot taste the smoke un-
less they see it. This almost DEM
onstrates the theory that if you blind
fold man in a room full of smoke,
and put lighted and unlighted ci-
gar in his mouth, turn about, he will

SAID a wise man: "As I'VE journey
through life let us live by the way"
A pretty good rule for obtaining true
happiness, if acted upon in the spirit
is given. If we would pay more at
tention to the present, the things
about US, not losing sight Of the fu-
ture, and turning our backs on the
past, letting the past bury its dead,
we would be more happy. Half of our
troubles in this life are on account
of our disposition to to grieve over
the "what might have beens," and
our apprehensions Of disaster and
evil in the future. Live IN the ever
present! Help those about you to
see the good things of the present
by enjoying them ourselves. To be
sure our lines may be cast in dark
and troubled waters, yet there never
was time so bad as to be utterly
void of something to help US bear
the heavy load with which we may
be burdened. A kind word or deed
will not only help us to enjoy the
world, but it Will help those about us
to partake of the good things of life.
Don't assume imaginary cares; do
not hunt around for something to
worry about; don't forget everything
but some particular object you have
fixed your purpose on, in the future.
You will not attain to it any sooner.
Yoq may be stricken down On the
way before you have reached the
goal. Then why give up all else in
the effort to attain it? An honora-
BILE ambition is a good thing. 1t
fires the energies; 1t makes man
the more manly. But the greatest
man, the manifest man, is he who
lives by the way as he journeys
through life.

1 HAPPENED, In the course of our
conversation, says London editor,
to ask a prominent spiritual medium
whether he was a spirit-rapper. In
a moment mysterious rappings were
heard from all parts of the room, as

From the lowest to the highest,

great bulk of our money troubles,
and nearly all ihe cheating and lying
wickedness in the world connected
with money which has been describ-

So much has been said and written

So much has been said and written
about the inefflciepcy of young wives
as househeepers, that it is refreshing
to read word or two in their de-
fence. A lady says: 1--WE read a
great deal about the extravaganza of
wives, and of marrying without
knowing how to cook or take care of
q family. I should like to know who
is to blame for this state of affairs !?
Girls will be girls, and it will be use
less to make women of them until
they are old enough to assume the
responsibility of motherhood; they
must abide the consequences. The
girls don't propose to the young men
neither do they urge an early mar
-riage. 1t is the young men that do
this; and many young girl has been
coaxed into marriage when she felt
she was too young, by the same
young man who will, after marriage,
fret because his chid-wife can't cook
as bis mother did,
