Rather HIgh- Handed.

NEW YORK, Feb. l5.-The Rev.
Jarvis Warden, late pastor OF the
City Temple United Presbyterian
church, but who is now in the Epis.
copal church, has been summoned for
trial before the Presbytery of the
United Presbyterian church today. 1t
is hardly likely that the Rev. War
den will appear. The committee APP
pointed to Investigate the case, cited
Mr.. Warden as guilty of deceit, dis
honesty and of obtaining money un-
der false pretenses. The committee
finds that Mr.. Warden was for many
months surrepticiously::at attempting to
90 and to take with him the City
Temple congregation into the Protes-
tant Episcopal church. While he
was receiving $500 year salary from
the United Presbyterian church he
was seeking a grant of $4,000 toward
building q new church. The COM
mittee had no fault to find with any
one, who because of ap honest change
OF opinion desired to leave the United
Presby terrain church. Especially
for such respectable body as the
Protestant Episcopal church" but IL
was the manner of Mr.. Worden's
leaving that displeased them serious-
ly.

METHUsELAus IN MAEs.-The rich astrono-
NOR, Dr. Virgins, is disappointed in and in
clined to discredit the Lick Observatory refu-
tation of Schiaparilli's conclusion that the
planet Mars has three great parallel canals,
evidently built by human beings. DR.. Wig
gins thinks Mars must be a far more desirable
world to live in than our own, because there
is only small region near the poles where
winter exists, and since it has no excessive
heat "As it is many million years older than
the earth" he said Il Judge that its inhabi-
tants must be much more intelligent than we
and probably live for hundreds of years"
Professor Porter, of the Cincinnati ObServa-
tory, said yesterday that q gross error had
been made by American astronomers rs to the
opposition of Mars 1.-The American Ephem
eris,' the standard nautical almanac has un-
doubtedly guided the astronomers of the
nation, but the Berliner .Jahrbuch' gives the
time of our opposition with the red planet as
clearly as possible at a little after midnight
August 6. The error is so apparent that |
cannot understand it. The astronomers and
the newspapers of the Western world have
been antedating the event by three days"

Women Past Forty.

"Why should woman at the age of
forty be, in any sense of the word,
passe9" asked Mr.. Terhune the other
day at the Monona Lake Assembly.
And then she answered the question in
paper that was full of the simplest
vet the saddest and most pathetic SEN
fences that one is likely to hear for
many day.
Mr.. Terhune pointed out that after
the age of forty the mental forces OF
woman are at their best, and yet the
sunset of her life is darkened. Take
the average case. A woman of twenty
marries. She is handsome, intelligent
and educated. She has read, she has
bathed little in the sea ofthought and
looks with wonderment upon its billows.
She has ever dreamed Of voyages out
there where stately ships of splendid
minds are grasping all the winds
that blow and are pushing for the port
of progress. And then she turns to her
duties as wife. At first she follows her
reading and tries to keep up with the
times, but it keeps her buster now than
it did. Then the children come and
she is so hurried. Her work is
unending and so eXacting. She finishes
one task only to find that it has brought
her to the threshold of a hundred new
ones. She thinks sometimes of the cul-
ture she is losing, but she has no time.
Here are duties that will not be waved
aside. She is good mother, and her
children shall not be neglected.
She loses her touch with the women
whose cares are lighter. She forgets
much that she once knew well. She
bends every energy that the children
may have advantages. She would feel
that she had done selfish, an uDpar-
donabe thing if she sat down to read
or to study when there were tasks de-
manded of her by her husband or her
children.
Presently she sees the boys and girls
have discovered that mother does not
know. How quickly children come to
that They compare her with some one,
and she suffers. Without meaning it or
knowing it she loses interests in the
things that interest them. She never
would have thought that she could do
that. To avoid it is the very thing for
whichshe sacrificed herselfShe hasmade
duty her slave so long that duty is her
master. She cannot escape from the
treadmill she has builded. She goes her
weary way till the day is done, and
even in sleep she dreams oftoiling. All
her associates drift further and further
from her. Her circle narrows until she
stands in the centrc-alone. There is
not throb from her brain that is an
swered by thought from the world,
and she knows it.
Has she done best? Would it have
been selfshness for her to neglect the
children little in unconscious infancy
to keep pace with them better in acute
maturity? Does she not quicker lose
hold of them, lose guidance of them
when they can outrun her-outthink
herS And when they have gone and
left her alone, and the echoes are loud
where laughter used to live, what has
she? Neglected, forgotten, unrequitcd,
unthanked, in many things ignorant, in
many things dull, the measure of suf-
fering that must be hers will simply be
the measure Of possibility that was hers
the day she wed.-Chicago Herald.
