An Afectation of Earnestness.

One of the minor critics of earnestness
says in late English magazine: Women
are much more bitten with this earnest
mood than men. Was there ever such an
age as ours for societies, guilds, fedora
tions2 Many women spend their lives at
committee meetings"
And so the writer runs on The truth
that seems TO shine out of all these mists
of doubt and despair is that it is the little
earnestness, like the little learning, that
is dangerous thing. That is to say, it
is the shallow eaInestness, if one may so
term it, the prete2se, afTectation or imita
ton of it which bores society. Nothing
so disgusts me-" said brilliant Boston
woman, the other day, las humanity Ell
pose" And saying this she touched a
universal truth that we all feel, even If
we fail to formulate it so wildly. The
persons who pose for earnestaess-and
they are not few-are bOres; but they
who have forgotten themselves in true
and earnest devotion to noble ideals il
humanity are our inspirers as well as
guides; they are the men and women who
not only interest society but who make
society. They are the poles around which
society centers.-Boston Traveller.

Cremation of City Garbage.

The terrible poisoning of rivers and
streams, by dumping into them the garbage
of cities and large towns, has become SO SO
rious that some device is sought to avoid the
danger, and the need of mourning the danger.
Several European cities have carried sewer
age and garbage to public fields, to be uti-
lied on systematic plan. The latest device
is to cremate the garbage in furnaces spe-
cially constructed for that purpose Chicago
has inaugurated the plan from dire necessity.
England has largely put the plan into prac-
tice, and is we'll satisfied. Forty-fiye English
towns are already using furnaces. The Chi
