fidential knot together, discoursing ON the
| the best objects of wise ambition and the
eligible points of certain good parties vel
| unmatched
As for consideration for the husband
that Is a thing which no woman of this
| kind thinks of or lives for. Outward
| good breeding is all that he may expect
| and sometimes he does not get even that
| For often the wife does not hesitate to
show to all the world her contempt for the
man whose name she bears, or her loath-
| ing for the father of her children. She
has been known to shudder when her hus-
band touched her hand in presenting her
fan, and she has frowned visibly when he
has called her "My dear" in public. This
kind of thing was not in the bond, and
she resents the supertiuity as the very
essence of impertinence
Such house as these idle, luxurious
| undutiful wives make at the present day
vitiates the whole spiritual meaning OF
marriage, and dries up the spring of true
domesticity. 1t has in it, indeed, nothing
that answers to domesticity. 1t is nothing
but an association, more or less personally
lnharmonious, between two persons, whose
house is the meeting place of their friends
and the passage place for the world, but
IN no sense the home of their hearts or the
| font of their affections. Dress, amuse-
ment, display, excitement-for these the
young married belle lives.
The duties of wife to her husband,
of mother to her children, of mistress
to her servants, of member of the
community to the general welfare of that
community-of these there is not a trace.
Love, duty, simplicity, sincerity are
among the dead things of an older time.
This seems severe picture of the mod
ern married English belle of fashionable
life; let US hope at least that her tyre is
not common.

A QUESTION OF MORALS, NOT LAW.

One of the firms publishing and selling
pirated books has defended its action in an
article appearing in the Philadelphia
Press "We do sell the American reprint
of the foreign book" say these gentlemen
who insist upon their honesty:
Nor DO we sell this particular work ouly to
complete our stock and thus be up with the
times. nor merely to make money but because
we believe II TO be clearly right. You may diff
fer with our opinion. bus no man nor newspaper
has right to question our integrity of motive
so long as we maintain decent mercantile
character and are sustained by the law OF the
land Under certain conditions we favor
copyright law. but the talS about the
prope ~ in the Encyclopedias Britannica is
pure nonsense. There is something to say on
thaf subject where artists, authors. or inventors
are concerned. The fact that book and not a
cheyoit tweed, Scotch gingham, or a japanned
tray is under discussion does not change the
principle a single j,t. With this book IL is es-
recially q manufacturing question, pure and
simple The ideas are TO the book what the
Jasigu is TO the cloth, intellectual WORK en-
,,ioys.d and paid for, and the creators property
IN his ideas ends with The payment; after that

,sninnii,g, the binding and the finishing. a'e aI-
aiiogors processes. The clothmaker and the
baokmaKer are in precisely similar positions.

We are to have new postal cards that
will have two distinctive features
one excellent and one execrable. The
feature that is praiseworthy is the two
size character, that is, there are to be two
sizes of cards, the larger being for bust
ness communications that cannot well be
crowded. The second feature is a misera-
bly, poor portrait of General Grant that is
to be printed on the upper right hand cor
ner of both sizes. On the larger card appears
the words, Zone cent postal card" On
the lesser are the words, "Postal card one
cent" This distinction in phrasing is
probably supposed to add to the convent
ence of the people in buying the cards.
Thus if one wishes the larger card, he
will ask for one-cent postal card, but if
he desires the smaller, he will ask simply
for postal card"

What New York Wears.

Tennis players of both sexes are wearing
silk shirts. They are worn with skirts OF
any material.
Russet shoes are worn to much larger
extent than ever before by both ladies and
gentlemen.
Brown plaided surah over darker shades
of brown surah, plain, makes nice dress
for the races.
Short. curly locks are the style with
both elderly and young ladies. Tresses
are freely sacrificed nowadays.
Yellow is in great favor this season. A
light bit of it on hat or gown brightens
the toilet in remarkable degree.
The Fauntleroy blouse waists are the
newest. They have deep collar and
come in white lawn, embroidered.
The plain habutia cloth is attractive.

comes in black, white and cream.

We will discover on the census returns
being made public that we have three
cities with population exceeding million.
A decade ago We had but one, and twenty
years ago none of that size. Every census
gathering makes clearer the fact that the
drift of civilization is to concentrate pop.
ulation in cities in towns and thin it in ag-
ricultural districts. 1t can scarcely be
said that this is due to distate for rural
life, since it is largely the aim of city resi-
dents to possess agricultural property, and
the small holdings by metropolitan resi-
dents are amazingly increasing. But it
does signify that there is disposition to
own rather than to occupy-except as a
retreat and pleasure on widely separated
occasions-agricultural lands. The met
ropolitan wants to own land, but he is not
disposed to till it with his own hands.
Agricultural labor he enjoys by proxy.
Whether this is to result in good or i'll to
the people is the problem. We believe
that dislike for country life and its labor
as means of livelihood is to be deplored
and ought to be discouraged.
