The family is the real social unit, and
what society has to do Is to promote the
good of the family. And in the family
woman is as completely supreme as is man
in the state. And for all moral purposes
the family is more vital, more beautiful,
more universal than the state. To keep the
family true, refined, affectionate, and faith
full IS grander task than to govern the
state. 1t is q task which needs the whole
energies, the entire life of woman. To
mix up her sacred duty with the coarser
occupations of politics and trade is to unfit
her for it as completely as if priest were
to embark in the business of a money-lend-
er. That such primary social truths were
ever forgotten at all is one of the portents
Of this age of skepticism, mammon-wor-
ship and false glory. While the embers of
the older chivalry and religion retain their
warmth, no decent man, much less woman,
could be found to throw ridicule on the
chivalrous and sanity ideal of woman as
mans guardian angel and queen of the
home. But the ideals of religion of old are
grown faint and out of fashion, and the
priest of to-day is too often willing to go
with the times. Is it to be left to the relig-
ion of humanity to defend the primeval in
situations of society! Let US then honor
the old world image of woman as being re-
lieved by man from the harder tasks of in
dustry, from the defense and management
of the state, in order that she may set her
self to train up each generation to be worth
Ter than the last and may make each home

OF these three lines will, the officers say,
pay through the local traffic, and the nat
ural resources of the country and the roads
can be built without great trouble. From
Guatemala this party will push its way
down into Honduras and this land is said
to be the richest of all the American repub-
lies in its mineral wealth. The road will
go very near the silver region and it will
open up mineral country which is now
to large extent inaccessible. In Salvador
there are also mines of gold and silver, and
silver and gold is also found further south
IN Costa RIGA. This Central American
brench of the Inter Continental railroad
will in fact open up an almost unknown

can countries are anxious TO help along the

down the register and says "seven fifty"
the guest fips out ten dollar bill, the clerk
hlpS back the change and the thing is over
The English clerk, always woman, says,
"Will you be seated sir2' Then she draws
up bill in writing and rings for waiter,
the waiter presents the bill on tray,
takes the coin or bank note to the
desk, gets the change and expects fee for
his service, even If 1T is the very first he
has rendered to the traveller. Some of the
Liverpool hotels have improved on this a
little, however.
The bigger the hotel the greater nuisance
are the fees. The waiter, the porter the
boots, the chambermaid and the head
waiter all expect them. In small house
these functionaries may all be combined in
one individual well content with a modest
expense.
A considerable experience of English
inns, not confined to the regions usually
frequented by tourists, leads me to believe
that the following rules will be found use
full in estimating the charges at them:
l. A small room in a big house will come
high; big room in small house will be
charged for at reasonable rate.
2. II the waiter is pretty girl, the cook
cry good and the appointments modest the
bill will be low; if the waiter is f1unky in
a spiketail coat and the food bad the bill
will be high.
3. If the bedstead in the room is of
carved mahogany, hundred years old
with mattresses three feet thick and gor-
geous canopy and curtains, the bill will be
low if the bedstead is a cheap new iron
one with brass knobs you'll pay in gold.
4. If you get a napkin without asking
for it telegraph your banker for more
funds at once. Fortunately, this does
not happen often. Forty mine hotels out of
fifty in Britain are guiltless of napkins.
5. If the dining room has a bay window,

In Kansas City church debates are held

The fare Of an English steamship COM

Aluminium is found to be an excellent

According to the Swedish papers the ex-
pedition of DR.. Nausen to the North Pole
has been postponed until 1898. The delay
is caused by the impossibility of sooner
finishing the ship to be used.
The origin Of card playing is uncertain.
1t is said to have been brought to Viterbo
in 1879. Cards were Illuminated for

If he gets breakfast in the morning at the
same hotel, as he is expected to do, the
same delightful uncertainty exists as to its
cost He will be told that he will be
charged according to what he has;n that
seems fair, but if he orders what would be
a very modest meal at home the bill will
surprise him again.
OF course six shillings is not large sum
to pay for room in city like London, nor
is two or three shillingS for a breakfast ex-
orbitant, but that isn't the sort of thing a
man expects who has been lured by an an
nouncement of ''rooms for three shillings.
breakfast from one shilling and ninepence."
In such announcements the minimum
breakfast Is coffee or tea and bread and but
ter. This may cost from one to two and
half shillings.
Out in the provinces things are still more
uncertain. A man may find one night good
accommodations at hotel whose charges
will foot up only $3.50 day, the next night
put up with bad quarters at So or S4 day
and the next night Indifferent at any mag
Unable price. In tourist resorts, especially
where there Is no competition, he must pre-
pare for stiff BILL say "a cents for room,
80 cents for attendance 81 for dinner, 65
cents each for lunch and breakfast and
what he chooses" in fees, or in the neigh
borhood of $3.50 or more day. This, it
must be borne in mind, does not secure
good food, though it does secure an exuui-
sitely cleaned and comfortable room. One
reason why most Americans who have been
there are so fond of Paris ia that they can
find food there after a course of semi
starvation in London.

The cooR seemed doubtful.

'steak preferred, but a chop would an

Next morning breakfasted upon chop,

Imagine the Respondent hotel clerk Of
the best hotel in Yonkers Lowell or Tren-
ton calling up the cook to ask il a traveller
could have q steak for breakfast instead of
slightly less expensive chop! For the
same money, or for 20 cents at the most, a

guests the choice between a variety of

oatmeal or wheat grits breakfast cakes, in

HOW LINCOLN PROPOSED.
The Remarkable Letter That Led to an I'm
happy Marriage.

Abraham Lincoln's offer of marriage was
very curious one and singularly enough,
it has but recently come to light. Numer-
Gus as his biographers have been, and
closely as they have CLEANED for new facts
and materials, it was left for the latest one
Mr.. Jesse Welk, of Greencastle-to dis
cover this unique and characteristic pre-
duction of Mr.. Llncolns almost untutored
mind. The letter is one of several written
presumably to the lady he afterwards mar
ried.
Addressed to my Dear Mary" it reads
thus:
"You must know that l can't see you or
think of you with entire Indifference, and
yet it may be that you are mistaken in re-
gard to what my real feelings toward you
are. If knew you were not should not
trouble you with this letter. Perhaps any
other man would know enough without any
other information, but l consider it my
peculiar right to plead ignorance and your
bounden duty to allow the plea.
81 want, in all cases, to do right, and most
particularly SO in all cases with women.
want at this particular time, more than
anything else to do right with you, and if I
knew it would be doing right, as rather
suspect 1T would, to let you alone l would
do 1t. And for the purpose OF making the
matter as plain as possible, l now say you
can drop the subject, dismiss your thoughts
If you ever had any--from me forever
and leave this letter unanswered without
calling forth one accusing murmur from
me. And l will even go further, and say
that if it will add anything to your comfort
and peace of mind to do so, it ia my sincere
wish that you should. Do not understand
by this that l wish to cut your acquaint-
ance. l mean no such thing. What | do
wish is that our further acquaintance shall
depend upon yourself. If such further &C
quaintance would contribute nothing to
your happiness l am sure it would not to
mine.
IF you feel yourself in any degree bound
to me, l am now willing to release you, pro-
vided you wish 1t; while on the other hand,
l am willing and even anxious to bind you
faster if 1 can be convinced that il will in
any degree add to your happiness. This,
indeed, is the whole question with me.
Nothing would make me mora miserable
than to believe you miserable; nothing
more happy than to know you were So In
what have now said | think | can not be
misunderstood, and TO make myself under
stood is the only object of this letter. If it
suits you best not TO answer this, farewell.
A long life and merry one attend you.
But if you conclude to write back, speak as
plainly as l do. There can be neither harm
nor danger in saying to me anything you
think, just in the manner you think it.
Your friend,
"a. LINCOLN
