It is not clear why every man shonld
fail in his mission if he chooses to remain
single. There may be some few fool.
ish ones who bring discredit on the
class, but these should not be taken as
creditable representatives of the ring.
You should remember that there are
pages in the history of almost every man
which are never read by the world,
Notwithstanding they are sealed pages,
they control the lives and actions OF
those who are alone able to read them.
Therefore, you should be slow to con
denim all bachelors.
A leading cause of bachelorhood is
the untitness of the average girl to be
come q wife in the true sense of the
word.
There is difference, you know, be
tween wife in law and wife in fact.
Your practical citizen is looking out
for wife in fact. 1t is no easy matter
to find a young woman who is fitted fol
the duties devolving upon the wife of
business man, he may be able to sup
port wife comfortably, providing she
is competent to attend to her end OF
the partnership, but if she only knows
how to open the purse strings her end
of the partnership will soon collapse,
and possibly bankrupt the other end.
The acreage woman does not mean
to be burden to her husband, and In
most instances she does the best that
she knows how. At least charity de-
mands that she be given credit to that
extent. If she is OF practical turn
and blessed with a good share of com
mon sense, she will be able to adapt
herself to the new order of things and
in time become clever wife.
If, however, she marries for a home,
and with the expectation of being
cared for, the chances are that she will
soon become dissatisfied and wish she
was home again. 1t is just at this point
that the fond young husband begins in
earnest to envy his bachelor fir end.
1t is pretty safe to say that every
bachelor can give a reason for his
single blessedness. In most instances
his state is voluntary and not enforced
by reason of being unable to find some
one willing to marry him.
AS rule, the old bachelor is fa1
from being n drone in life. He is usu.
ally generous, polite, active and pro
gressivc. He gi es literally to the
poor, helps to advance art, and patro'
nizes whatsoever he believes will tend
to improve the condition of the race

mare That Tree.

Tho waste of forest wood on this
continent has been shamefully ex-
travagant. orty years ago wood was
very plenty, and to the farmer every
tree was an enemy. Now that the
hills and plaius are denuied, men are
planting trees and patiently waiting
until they obtain growth enough to be
cut for their timber.
According to the indianapolis Nous
o farmer in Indiana is calling himself
hard names because ho didn't leave
the hundreds of black walnut trees
standing on his farm Just as he found
them when he settled on it thirty
years ago.
Like all the others, he went to work
with might and main cutting them
down, riling them in great heaps and
burning them. 1t was heavy work,
and his two boys died from the sprains
rece we'd while Juggling at the big logs,
and the old man is broken in health
from the same cause. For al their
labor he has farm worth at most
eight thousand dollars. whereas if he
had let the timber standing it would
have been worth million dollars at
least.
Agents for English and French COM
panles are securing the State, buying
up all old logs, s.umps and odd trees

this is that no other wool is so we'll

The Monastery Where ChartrPu e Is
Manuinct Ired.

One of the chief points OF interest in
Naples is the Convento Frati of San
MARITIME, situated on the hill from
which the fortress of st. Elmo frowns.
1t is one of the six monasteries which
once existed in Naples, and is the only
one which still supports small band
of monks. These brothers of the Or
der of st. Francis are permitted to oc-
cupy part of the building, for the
utilitarian reason that they are in the
secret of the manufacture of char
treuse. These few remaining Carthu-
SLAMS still ply their fragrant trade. and
those OF you who only know the bland
and fervant cordial through your pur-
veyors at home have slight idea of the
bliss of tasting its nectar, drawn di-
rectly from the glass barrel that is al
ways kept filled for strangers who
pass that way. The monastery is one
of the richest in Europe. The wood
carvings of the sacristy alone would
make it famous. The paintings are
almost all excellent, the treasures in
the museum indubitable, and the chap
ell, with its Oriental alabaster, rare
marbles, marvellous inlayings, and
precious stones, seems to blossom out
from the fretted altar, with it's great
ruby set into the marble as if the gem
were to fasten all that lace work OF
wrought stone, like petrified flower.

with might and main to the crag.
They arrived just in time to save the
poor wretches from being burned.
Their sufferings had been terrible. No

safely to the shore than one of them,

plunged into the forest, and was never

he died q few days after his rescue.
The third Fddystone lighthouse,
which stood sturdily on the 70 ks for
more than hundred years, was erect
ed four years after Rudverd's tower
was burned. 1t was bu 1t by John
Smeaton, one of the greatest inventors
and engineers of the eighteenth centuN
ry. 1t is said that, when Il small boy,
Smeaton liked to play with workmen's
tools rather thar with children's ordi-
nary toys. At the early age of fourteen
he built an engine for turning rose
work, and at twenty-five he invented
an instrument for measuring a ships
way at sea.
The lighthouse which Smeaton
erected on the tempest-beaten crag of
the Eddystone was noble column of
granite, which rose to height of
eighty-fve feet. 1t resembled in shape
the trunk of an oak tree, and swept up
in gentle curve from i base. On
its summit was placed u large lantern,
with gallery around it. This famous
lighthouse was taken down, stone by

rat seems to create quite d fierent
feeling from one of another color.
They are different species, being al
binos of their tribe, and are said to be
more gentle in Ike manner to white
horses. Keepers of livery stables will
tell you that timid women always
choose white horse to drive if there
lie one in tho stalls. Whether it is
superstition or hot, there is always
something about white creatures that
appeals to woman, and seems to be
fitting for the tender ess, geItleness,
and purity of her sex.
If the old poets wished to convey the
picture of pure, lovely woman, they
portrayed her accompanied by some
white bird or beast. Sponsors Una,
the heroine of the Faery Queen and

Embracing Few seasonable Hints About

The millinery that blooms in this

thcss will figure extensively on the
heads of modish women all through the
summer. Let us consider, to begin
with, the first two hats. Tho first is

white stray of n similar texture. The
trown is trimmed with clusters of white
flowers, prettily yelled with navy-blue
tulle, and tied with full bows of navy.

brim in front, taken with the lack of
brim behind, imparts rather rakish
air to this hat, and makes it harmonic
well with the method of hair dressing
how in vogue. With the hair brushed

nape of the neck to the crown of the
head, any extension of hat behind
detracts from the graceful out.

faces. The second hat is still
larger, but of a totally different
composition. 1t adheres to the man
date which abolishes flowers for mil
linery, but which was disobeyed by the
designer of the other structure. This
is called the empire shape, and it is
made in both white and oolored straws,
with very wide brim in front and Il
narrow one at the back, sharply bent
up in the center. This hat is simply
but boldly trimmed with full upright
bows of pale, apple-g cen ribbon ar
ranged in front. The ribbon is edged
in zigzag pattern in a darker shade
of the same green. The same shade is
shown in light felt of various hines, and

Women in the IS.c Of Man.

Many legislators have shown more
favor to women than those of other
countries, for, as the writer i'll the
Romans Suffrage JOurRal says:
Although the wife did not retain sep
arate property after marriage, the
common property of the par was not
at the absolute disposal OF the nus
band. The wife retained an indefeasi-
BILE right to half of the common prop
erty on the death of her husband. Out
of this right there grew custom that
allowed the wife to make will leav-
ing her half of the property to whom
soever she pleased, at her own death,
during the lifetime of her husband.
Thus it happened that many
men were reduced to COM
parative poverty through the
death of their wives. 4 decree was
therefore pronounced restricting the
power of wife to make such will,
and limiting her right over the half of
her husbands property to cases where
she survives him." The same writer
quotes curious custom, which is to be
found in the ancient records of Castle
Mona, showing that for many centuries
Manxmen have had a cnivalrOus regard
for the rights OF women. A decree in
a black letter boo ordains that if a
man was proved to have wronged q
maid, the Deemster was to hand to her
an ak, rope, and a ring, that she
might deal with the recalcitrant lover.
She had the choice to behead him with
the ak, to hang him with the rope, or
marry him with the ring. Tradition
says the maids were usually lenient."
