NO WONDER WOMEN ARE VAIN.
1t Is Cultivated by Their Mothers from
Earliest Childhood.

1t Is Cultivated by Their Mothers from
Earliest Childhood.
Women generally are credited with
wonderful amount Of vanity in their
composition. And yet when one takes
into consideration the fact that this
characteristic is instilled into their
natures from the time of their earliest
childhood the wonder is that they are
not absolutely unbearable. Mothers
naturally delight in having their little
ones dressed well, and among the first
impressions that child receives is the
attention that good clothes demand
and the amount of time and labor that
are expended upon them.
Even tiny babies realize when they
are dressed up, and as time goes on the
love of finery grows with their growth,
and their daily actions and thoughts
are Influenced largely byit. Playmates
and classmates who dress well are Sc
lected in preference to those whose gar
ments are not cut in the latest style or
of the finest material.
More tears are shed because OF the
inability to secure new bits of finery
than are ever caused by rebukes or de-
malls of any sort. Clothes are made
the feature in little girls life that
dominates all other attributes. and
when the child grows to be a woman
people condemn her for being vain and
frivolous when in reality she is but
living up to the earliest ideas that have
been sown in the budding mind.
If parents do not wish their daugh-
ters to be called vain and silly they
should at the beginning Undue them
with ideas that are not teeming with
the Impressions OF self-adornment.
Teach them that life has other aims
and better work, that the noblest ma
lures dwell in the plainest tenements,
and that though it is ones duty to look
as well as possible it becomes sin
when every thoug ght is given to the
identifying of the person at the sacri-
fee of other motives that tend to the
of more gracious
purpose.-Philadelphia Times.

Tho sanctuary is placed under the con-
troll of a bailie, appointed by the duke
of Hamilton.
When the debtor retires to the sane.
tuary he has tweuty-four hours protec-

books OF the abbey. The sanctuary
affords no protection to a criminal or
fraudulent debtor, or to a crown de btor.
Another sanctuary exists in Hawaii,

captured, he is safe as long as he re-

is able to make his escape, but he is
never allowed to return to his own

Native Africans Have at Last Consented

Maj. Thys, who is in charge of build
ing the Congo railroad, sent letter
home to Brussels, q short time ago,
that excited much surprise. He said
that the Congo natives themselves had
at last begun to show much interest in
the iron highway that is building
through their villages, and many Of
them are now employed in the work.
During the two years since the build
ing of the road began the enterprise
has not been able until now to COM
mand the services Of the Congo natives.
They were glad to engage in the car
rier service, but drew the line at dig
ging on the railroad. The company
was compelled to import all its rail
road labor from Zanzibar and ports
along the Gulf of Guinea, and this was
both iueouvenient and expensive.
