The reason why the "hot box" is so
common among Americans is not pri.
marily that they work so much harder
than other men. but that they work so
much more unwisely. 1t is the friction
that does the harm rather than the
work. the feverish Excitement. the
hurry, and the worry. and the disspa-
ton that too often fills up the intervals
between the days ofswork. The cases
where men break down from shere hard
work, unless there is some fatal weak
ness Of constitution 70 begin with, are
comparatively few. Hard work is
wholesome. and conducive to longevity.
1t is safer than lazy dawdling, and less
destructive to mind and body. to say
nothing OF soul. A well-oiled and
properly managed machine will last
longer il it is worked ten hours day
every working day in the year than If
it is suffered to lie idle large part of
the time. Man is like the machine in
capacity to bear steady and hard labor.
but it must be well-oiled labor. In
other words, man must learn to work
easily, without friction of his mental
machinery, without worrying all the time
about results, content to do the work
OF each day just as well as he can, and
not trying to carry the universe on his
shoulders.
Here is where Americans fail. Let
any one walk the streets OF our cities
and compare the faces of native Ameri-
cans with those OF foreign-born people
that he meets. There is q sharpness
OF feature and anxiety of expression
about the former that contrasts pain
fully with the contentment and easy
good nature Of the latter. The con-
trast tells the story. 1t indicates
growing weakness in American char
acter that is reflected in the physique
and that affects the capacity Of endur-

ance.
The weakness is partly moral in origin
and demands q moral cure. The, Amer
lean spirit Is too much that rebuked by
our Lord, when He exhorted His disci-
pies: BE not anxious for your life,
what We shall eat nor yet for your body,
what We shall put on. For the life is
more than the food. and the body than
the raiment." A too high estimate Of
material success, of the value and JOY
giving qualities Of wealth, begets a fe-
verish desire to get immediate possess
sion Of this worlds goods and enjoy
them. Nothing will do 80 much to COR
rect this spirit as truer estimate OF
the relation Of this world to the next,
juster understanding Of what consti-
tutes the true riches. Y. Examiner.

We meet with people who are on

Reasons For Advancing Women In School
Positions. frf
The controlling reason for placing
women on boards Of education is the
fact that they are less selfish than men.
The curse Of the race is selfishness,
and there can be no regeneration OF So
ciety until this vice of the age is burned
and purged away by education.
1t may be said Aippantly that sell
fishness is necessary to the preserva-
tion OF the individual and that altru-
ism il. only an idle dream of the opti-
mist. But it is the sternest OF all stern
facts Of historic analysis, that in the
deadly grip of seltishness all the an
Gent civilizations persisted.
1t is time for Americans to realize
that there is something better than the
Greek worship of beauty, better than
the Roman lust Of power, better than
the greed of the English. And this
better thing is right, truth. Justice
justice to all men, and to all women.
But this jewel of great price is not to
be picked up by chance in the market
place, nor found like mama in the will
dernesa.
First Of all, it is not to be secured
without the aid Of woman. She must
no longer be degraded; the theory Of
her inferiority mist be abandoned as
rubbish; her equal interest with man
in all the worlds affairs must be fully
and frankly admitted. Conceded the
right 70 life, liberty and the pursuit of
happiness, she must be taken into the
absolute confidence Of society, and in
vited to keep step with man in the
work Of moldiug its destinies. And

COORDINATE HUMANITY.

No SEX Of the MInd-What the Evolution
OF Society Is Realizing.
In the evolution Of society, says Rev.
Joseph B. Cottrell, d. D., in the Wo-
mans journal, there have been revolu-
lions, but all upon the heaven-ordained
axis and within the .divinely appointed
sphere. That marks the individuality
of humanity as coordinate with the
ranks of intelligence, beneath and
above. He that breaketh a hedge
shall be bitten by serpent" but the
field of human privilege and enterprise
must be enlarged in spite ofthe snakes.
Let us candidly inquire whether it is
wisest and most just to hinder or to
help the movement now being made on
behalf Of co-ordinating women with
men all along the lines Of industrial.
social, educational. governmental and
religious engagements.
There Is no sex in mind" Examples
are so numerous Of the capabilities OF
woman in every range Of intellectual
life that it is unnecessary to discuss this
question. It Is established that men are
all the greater whose touch and turning
Of personality approximate the woman
~ standard. Women are more potent
and effective as they possess those char
acteristics Of strength and courage usu-
ally denoted as masculine. The diferen-
tiating finger-touch Of God has given an
ineffaceable distinction OF femininity
from masculinity, SO long as humanity
continues in this sublinary environment;
but we are assured that lin the resur.
rection" these will be eliminted. There
is deeper significance in the words
that in Christ Jesus there is neither
male nor female" that the world Of
mind has yet apprehended.
The history. thus far, Of our race dis
covers to the observant student that
questions Of precedence have uniformly
been settled according to the rule that
might makes right That women IL
ruled out and of from the ways In
which she might develop her powers
more fully, and be at once more indie
pendent Of, and helpful to. mankind
than she now is. results simply from
this same fact-might dominates.
Gradually, in the unfolding of the
stock of humanity, the organic life
principal of equal right and privilege
to all asserts itself; and just as in the
growth of the corn there are first the
blades of fodder, then the tasselling,
then the silking, 80 that from out the
shuck there is to come 1.-The full corn at
length. even SO has it been and does it
promise to be in regard to human
Acknowledgement. The declaration that
''all men are created equal was as the
tasselling of the stalk; now this move
ment of woman's Acknowledgement is as
silking; and the full and complete
fruitage prophesied in the Scripture,
when the nations shall beat their
weapons Of warfare into the imple-
ments Of peaceful industry, will be
reached. Woman in our counsels will
wonderfully qualify and recondition
the measures whereby 1.-THE kingdoms
of this world are to become the king
doms Of God and His Christ" .f9

RUM AND CRIME.

The Inevitable Effects Of Intoxicating

have been engaged in over four thou
sand criminal cases, and on mature
reflection am convinced that more
than three thousand OF them originated
in drunkenness alone, and that great
portion Of the remainder could be
traced either directly or indirectly to
this source. In seventy-six cases of
homicide in which either prosecuted
or defended, ffty-nine were the direct
and immediate results Of the madden
ing influence Of intoxicating drink,
while in q number Of the remainder
the primOrdial cause was this prolific
source Of misdemeanor and murder.
So certain are the criminal effects of
the licensed drinks Of the saloon and
bar-room, that chemist in analysing
them should not be surprized to de-
tect crime in crystalline form
existing as an original element
in their composition; while IL
would not require the microscope
to discover the monad cells Of every
sin incident to fallen man in the foam

wine-cup 1t is useless to attempt te
palliate the effects Of intoxicating
drinks on either the physical or moral
being Of the people, or 10 find a rea-
sonable excuse for the laws that license
their sale as a beverage. No one
truthful sentence can be uttered in
their defense. The scalpel Of the sur
geon with unerring certainty has re-
vealed the inevitable germs Of disease
and death in the human system planted
by even a moderate use OF intoxicants;
while the records of our criminal
courts are stained on every page with
the history Of the crimes committed
through their influence. These are
not the simple assertions Of mistaken
zeal and fanaticism. but truths as
clearly demonstrated by science and
proved by evidence as . proposition in

noon, will be conducted by the Rev. T. N.
Boyle, of the Braddock NJ. E. Church,
assisted by Rev. Cornelius Earle, of
Catasauqua, Pa, which was the early home
of the deceased.
The pallbearers have been selected from
the Oldest employees of the Edgar Thomson
Steel Company and from the mechanical
engineering associates OF the deceased.
The Grand Army posts of this county
have decided that in the parade to-day, all
the colors shall be draped with mourning as
mark of respect to the memory of Captain
Jones. Andrew Carnegie telegraphed from
New York City yesterday, that he and his
wife would attend the funeral.
The coffin was closed in this city, with
the expectation that it would not be again
opened. 1t is reported from Braddock that
Mrs. Jones will demand the removal of the
lid so that she may again look upon the
face.
Post No Of the G. A R., at a meeting
last evening, adopted series of resolutions
sincerely mourning Captain Jones' death.
The military order of the Loyal Legion will
attend the funeral, meeting at the Union
