In the death of Benson J. Losing the world
loses faithful historian. During his long
literary labors he did much to popularze his
subject He was one of the first to recognize
that merit in the chroniclng of events con-
sisted not in dry and tedious recital of dates
and facts, but found way of combining
accuracy and entertaining style. lie had
years. and his school histories, with their
pictures, have been familiar to two gen
erations Of children. lie was distinctly an
American historian. In this field his labors
knew scarcely any boundary. He covered the
whole period from the time of the Pilgrims
up to date, and with plentiful diversions in
biography and the sketching of public men
has rounded up a lifetime of almost unexam-
pied industry. He leaves his impress on his
torical writing. If he was not Bancroft or a
Motley he always had the merit Of being read
able.

 Don't think because you are pret- tier than your neighbor across the way and have prettier gowns that it is right to try to firt from your front stoop with her beau when he calls upon her.
 Don't astonish your friends and acquaintances with magnificent gowns, while your mother wears cheap bombazine and cloak and bonnet that every one can see has done at least five years service.
 Don't show up lily-white taper fingers if hers are scanned with work.
 Don't be always drumming on the piano when your visitors call.
 Don't expect that mans inten- tions are sincere until he informs you in plain English that they are.
 Don't hint to man that you like him and that he is your ideal. and that you wouldn't mind leaving the state of single blessedness if "Barkis is willin'.o
 Don't make yourself obnoxious by appearing consistently at places you know to be his usual haunts until the young mar has fear in turn ing each street corner he comes to lest he will meet you.
 Don't accept your wedding out fit from the hands of your lover.
