bafled. She has of late been overcome by what
she chooses to call her conscience, and in the AGA
DENY of Music in New York she has been reveal
ing how she produced the rappings by making the
sounds with her great toe. Her motive through
life has been a most mercenary selfish one, and
now as she wends her way on the down-hill track
her motives are none the less selfish as she wishes
by her deahbed repentance SO to speak, to lift the
mortgage she is conscious the devil holds on her

thus approvngly remarks: cit is a bright little
volume of advice to maids and matrons. The
author takes as his text the words of Fenelon that
women were designed by their nature, elegance
and softness to endear domestic life to man, to
make virtue lovely in children, to spread around
them order and grace, and to give society its high
est polish. Although he will find people prepared
to refute his doctrines, still they display sound
common sense and are written to serve good pur-
pose, by instng into che minds of young wom-
anhood that her n1blsst and Jfuest function is to
be dutifu wife and fond mother We're girls to
read more such books and less of lola and Tolstoi
there would be fewer divorces.
When an author launches work Of his brain
and pen he waits anxiously for the stings and ar
rows that are sure to assails it. 1t is a question
whether this virtuous piece of advice tackled on to
the book notice will be considered an advantage to
the introduction of his work. This is a sort OF
free-thinking age in which the youth of today is
being reared, and the family book-shelves that are
filed with good old time thoughts of writer's long
since mingled with the dust, are not often molested
'"The Beauties and Achievements of the Blind,
was once familiar book on every family table,
and "Golden Steps for the Young" done hand
somey up in red cloth and gilt edges, while no dis
respect is meant, is not often referred to-
The youth of today does not take kindly to
moral which their attention is called TO. They
will, however, discover the moral for themselves
and take credit to themselves therefore. If the
book critic wishes to promote the sale of lola and
Tosto let him at once hold forth violently against
them But this is not exactly the point in this
book criticism referred to. How is reading this
excellently named book and stunning lola and
Tolstoi to prevent divorce. Who usually gets the
divorce? In case divorce becomes amoral necessity,
who suffers the longest in silence'
No one is so well calculated TO teach woman
the paths of virtue as man himself. He can give
her points on meekness and lowliness and endur-
ance in the gentle sex not by her dreamed Of

Mrs. Mona CARD, in Westminster Review, gives

BETCHER's BLUFF.

1t Doesn't Go With the Railroad
Commission, Which is Ready to
Investigate Specific Charges.
Some time ago Charles Betcher, of
Red Wing, MIMI, in letter addressed
to the board of railroad commissioners,
made complaint that he was being over
charged in payments for freight in viola
tion of the Hixon law, passed by the
Legislature a year go. In reply the
board says that the act has not yet been
investigated or tested in any Of the
courts of the state, and 10 complaint Of
its violation has ever been lodged with
the commission, or its Intervention de-
manded or requested. Mr.. Betcher is
informed, however, that he should not
infer from this that the terms of the act
have been generally observed by the
railroad companies, for the commits
Sioners believe such is not the fact.
Why persons, whose interests have
been adversely affected by the nOn-ob-
servance of the act on the part of the
companies, have not sought redress in
court before, the commission is unable
to give information, but says it is ready
to entertain charges of violation OF
the freedom of traffic act'' as of any of
the other laws regulating railroad bust
ness.
