woMAN,s LOFTY AMBITION.

a., of the Reasons why She Likes
nress Nicely and Make Home Happy.
,..hs men who criticise and condemn
-. foir ones for their extravaganza in
s.oss their bangs and the host of other
.i,ings which are too Numerous to men
.;nn and which they call only women's
'h;,e - that they can't see any earthly
''.o Tor whatever, and wonder why women
Iii do so many queer al,d silly things.
,ronh lust put on their thinking caps they
I'D very easily solve that interesting
pat pnt MS they won't or can't, shall try to
.vnla;n some of the reasons why women
~ 1 great many Of these things for which
.hoy are criticised and condemned.
Rut first let me say right here that ali
Tho women are not quite rs vain and silly
ss some men think they are. A great
many have some purpose In view which
thew wish to accomplish, and have good
reasons for what they do.
And these which | shall mention are
onIv few of the many reasons why they
do so.
Every good and true woman, who has a
due amount of respect for herself and
others. likes to look her best, and have her
sprroundings as pleasant and attractive as
her means and station in life will permit.
Size likes to dress neat and becoming;
mt for the love of dress alone, but for the
sake of others.
For if she is married and loves her hus-
hand and home she wants TO make her
home happy and pleasant, and herself look
NEAT and attractive in the eyes of her hus
band and children,
She is content and willing to spare no
labor or pains in doing those things which
she thinks will promote his happiness and
add to his comfort.
For she wants him to enjoy the comfort
of a well kept and tastefuly arranged
room. She likes him to admire her work,
for she likes to hear his words of praise
and a pleasant smile and kind word, ac-
companied lsx kiss, reward her for all
trouble she has taken to provide for his
domestic comfort and to make his home
life bright and happy
She is satisfied ''''a knows her husband
appreciates her e..p.,.a - make him happy
and considers her his household angel.
And if she is single, you may just rest
assured she has some one in her mind
whom she dresses to please. Or if not al
ready there, she is On the lookout for some
one who will think she is the best and
dearest little girl the world confirms" and
who will love and praise her for her sake
alone.
These are only some of the many reasons
why women do great many things which
have puzzled more than one masculine
mind and been termed 'women's whims
and foolish notiong."
Now, hope the men will be less severe
in their criticism of the fair ones when they
know that some of this dressing and the
host of other things which are done are
done for their own sweet sakes.
Criticise the really silly ones, who dress
for no other earthly purpose but love of
dress and show to excite envy in the heart
of others, if you wish to, but for mercy
sake spare the true woman who loves Won
and tries to make You happy and comfort
able, and dresses especially for your own
sweet sake.-Chicago Ledger.

Laundresses work from 1880 o'clock in
the morning until 6 at night, with less
than an hours rest at noon. Few work
more than five days in a week, and the
average only four. There is no denying
the hardship of a laundress' life, who lives
in an atmosphere of perpetual steam, often
standing between a redhot stove and an
open door or window, and compelled to be
on her feet the entire ten hours of service
In consequence nearly all suffer from swol-
len feet. Brain fevers are common, and
the number who go to the insane asylum
is by no means small.
Shirts pay the best of any laundry work
varying from five to seven cents each. A
good hand can iron thirty five in a day, al
though twenty is considered fair aver
age. In steam laundry a woman's chances
are better at piece work, but in the so called
home laundries, where family washing is
done by hand, the wages rarely exceed five
dollars a week.-New York World

| With the beginning of the Seventeenth
century there arose demand for better
translation of the Bible than any yet in
circulation, and when James vi OF Scot
land succeeded to the English throne he
was duplicated to order new translation.
This was done, and is what we now call
the Authorized Version. It is superior to
the Great Bible, the Geneva Bible and the
Bishops Bible, in spite of the respective
merits of each of these.
The Kings Bible, or the National Bible.
as the authorized version is sometimes
| called. was revised by forty transia-
tors, divided into six companies, and the
work occupied about three years. The
new version was issued in 1911, and sec
ond edition was required before the year
was out.
The new Bible was translated from the
| original texts, and the diction of the
Bishops Bible was generally followed.
Within thirty years after its production a
proposal was made, and repeated in parlia-
ment, for it's revision, and but for the sud
den dissolution Of the long parliament it is
not improbable that something would have
been done in 1868.
Nothing was done, however, althou gh
demands continued to be made at intervals,
and several private persons tried their
hands at TRANSACTIONS of portions of the
Scripture, until the work was seriously
taken in hand by the convocation of Can
terbury in 1870. Calling to their aid dis
tinguished scholars from the different
churches of the United Kingdom and
America and apportioning the work, the
New Testament was published in 1881 and
the Old Testament in 1885, the one occupy
ing ten and half and the other fourteen
years. This, the revised version" as we
now call it, is based on the authorized yer
sion of 16l1.-Chambers' Journal

The London Queen thinks that Mrs. Oil
plant Is ''the most feminine of women
writer's" and when she talks about Burns
in her new book on Edinburgh it finds "a

that "a foolish and almost vulgar flirta-
ton produced one of the most imprisoned
and exquisite songs of love and despair
which has ever been written in any Ian
guage-'Ae fond kiss, and then we sever. "
The foolishness and vulgarity. The Queen
more than hints, belongs to the woman
writer who objects to the Irritation rather
than to the Irritation that gave the song
