SYSTEMATIC LIVING.

Junius Henri Browne has recently dis
time, and he finds the solution of the
problem to lie in the fact they have no
system in the spending of time. If
woman is busy, he says, and friend
drops in, she leaves her work for two
| hours talk; or if letter arrives that
| appeals to her employment, she stops
| and replies to it and so the arraignment
runs on. Says a writer in american
CultiCat0r: 1t can not be denied that
there is vast amount of truth in this,
| and still it is by means of these same
swift sympathies and capacities for IN
slant change that women are enabled to
to be the cOnservators of social life, and
the best guardians of public edu cational
and phianthropic considerations. Or,
the abuse, rather than the true use, of
these faculties. At the same time. all
this arrangement is individual rather
than universal, and may or may not be
In the easy latitude of home duties a
woman would often be the loser rather
than the gamer if she denied herself to a
caller because, indeed, she was doing
something that could just as we'll be
done an hour hence. Life gains in pro

A inman heinu is
Fixed hours and correspondingly fixed
duties are all very well as necessity
should be strictly observed, as one may
concede they usually are. But that Is
necessity and not desirability. The ideal
life is that which has it's freedom, its easy
elasticity, its large possibilities of inclu-
siveness, and where these can be attained
and commaned, so much the better.
Work is made for people, but people are
not made for work, in the sense of severe
restriction applied by Mr.. Browne.
The highest ideal of happiness is in
social Intercourse; the highest luxury of
life is in the responsive and sympathetic
relation to ones fellow beings, and sup
pose it does take time? How can time
be better used? Prof. Drummond, in
"The Greatest Thing in the World"
calls particular attention to the fact that
so much of the time of Jesus was spent
simply in doing kind things. To love
abundantly. To live in those easy, cor
dial relations that promote love and good
will is to touch the highest standpoint in
human experience. He who put the
most into life, of generous and outgiving
sympathies and interests, gets the most
out of life. He may end his days with
less money earned, or made, but he holds
treasure of a more permanent and more
satisfying nature.

FACT AND FABLE ABOUT THE FISH
HAWKS ON THE COASL

| They ore Protected In Monmouth Countr
| and are Deemed Birss OF Good Omen
| They are Gentle aud T1utd NeiEhbors.
Whoever rides on the New York and Iona
Branch Railroad after It leaves Red Bank. and
| approaches nearer and nearer to the seashore
| will see thirty or forty fshhawks' nests scat.
| tered here and there along the route. No OK
pert knowledge is needed to discover these
nests, for they are Of tho slze Of half . nour
barrel. and are almost always exposed to plain
view upon the highest fork Of the limbs Of q
dead tree. rnobscured by foliage and in the
middle Of o QrAta usid or pasture lot. The
birds tina. irh> bit t~sss nests are SO large that
even whom only eilsar heads are seen above
tho edges Of their nests those objects can be
distinguished at half miles distance.
The lshhawk occupies proud place IN old
Monmouth county and warm corner In the
hearts Of hor people. Hardly Is the s,ork more
recored In Germany than ia the fshhawk in
this corner OF our country. No one shoots the
birds or would Willingly friRhten or annoy one
OF them. This seems to 10 a popularity OF tho
people OF the jersey oonst, for tho destruction
Of the same birds In other countries, notably IN
the british Islands, suggests that they are not
generally SO admired or held In reverence
Fishhnwk Is the American name for what
others call the osprey or fishing eagle. and his
realm 10 SO vast that 1t 10 said to be far easier
to toll whore he IL not to 10 found than where
he does roam. Iceland aud Now Zealand are
the most notable places that do not know him.
Warm weather and warm seas are his favor
ties. and he migrates to and fro between the
north and the south so a. to escape our north
ern winters. 1t 10 queer to think that the same
great birds that are 30 comparatively few on
the Jersey coast rs to be almost known by
name may be equally distinguished in Hon
duras or Brazil between November and early
April at which latter time the male birds re-
turn to our Watering places to repair aud re-
new their great houses In the trees. ready for
their wives. who follow. In alelsurely way, nino
or ten days after the husbands.
The word osprey Is a corruption OF Latin
term meaning "bone-breaker"a a nnne which
does not apply to these gentle fisher birds at
all. for they break no bones except OF the
fishes they eat or OF the meddlinG boys whom
they catch tampering with their nests. Tho
average New Jersey farmer or fisherman has
credited the fishing engIes with list OF vir-
tues which tho students OF natural history do
not mention In their writings about the bird.
Tho Jerseymen bolieve that these great birds
bring luck TO whosoever owns the land on
which they nest. Good harvests. good fishing,
and general prosperity IRE the possessions Of
such man as long as the b rds stay. Then.
again, the countrymen say that The ospreys

they are these natives boast that there are NO
