There was an unusual number of men
in town during the summer, and there
seems to be growing disposition on the
part of those young men who occasion
ally think to leave the watering places
to the young women and their mammas.
Of recent years there has been more Or
less complaint crudely but significantly
shadowed forth in comic and other news
papers Of the absence of young men from
places where the refining hop and emo
bling moonlight Irritation hold sway.
The absence has been charged up against
the young men in the cursory account
books of the summer, but the young
men have found the debt an easy one to
pay by a little extra exertion in the win
ter.
why is it t at the young men linger
in the shade of the apartment house in
stead of seeking the cool verandas of
summer hotels:" we can fancy some
modern Glaucon asking Of Socrates, the
mondain.

True it is, responds Socrates, chat

"Why, then, do not the young men go
to the country?'
''They do when they can afford long
railway travel, guns, dogs and rods or
yachts or other expensive muniments of
rural liberty, including time

An authority warns women who

possible, to wash their faces in. If
this is not procurable, boil the water
before using it. With this good soap

to fancy that oils and unguents will

cling to this most mistaken idea, and
there was never greater delusion.

LADIES' COLUMN.
GIRLS AND SPENDING MONEY.

The girl who is earning her money
by working says with a sigh, when
she BUYS a hat that is too extravagant
or box of sweets that she doesn't
need, "Wen, worked hard enough
for this money, may spend it as
please,n writes Ruth Ashmore in
pleasant article on 'sGirls and the Use
of Money!" in the September Ladies'
Home Journal. That sounds reasona-
BILE, but she ought to want to spend It
in the right way. She ought to think
of the days when possibly sickness
will come-then does she want to feel
sure that she hasn't a dollar in the
world and that she is being cared for
by people on whom she has no claim?
Or will there come a day when every
body else is going for an outing; will
she have to decline because she hasn't
saved any money? I know she earned
it; I know the fine hat, Or the fine
gown may be very tempting the
mere fact that she has given her
strength and her nervous force to get

in taking care of it. "Shan [ be
mean?'' asks sensitive girl. No, my
dear, but I tell you it is just as we'll to
remember the old proverb about be-
ing just before you are generous.
There is no generosity in contributing
to a floral piece for some comrade
and owing bill to your washer
woman; there is no generosity in
treating all the girls you know to ice
cream and having to catch cold be-
cause you haven't thick flannel pet
ticoat on, the reason being that you
have no money to buy one. The girl
who is talked Of as generous with
money, is, am sorry to say, too, Of
ten very foolish with it. She is ready,
when she has it, to lend it to whoever
asks her, to give to whatever is going
on, and when it is gone she either
suffers from its loss in modification
and tears, Or else she becomes a bor-
rover The wise girl is the one who
tempers generosity with sense.

Concerning sleep in connection
with sickness, there is a good deal of
heresy regarding the matter among
otherwise well-informed people.
"Don't let her sleep too long!" "Be
sure to wake him when it is time to
give the medicines; it will be better
for him not to sleep too long at a
time!" How often we have heard
these words, Or words to that effect,
when in fact, in nine cases out. of ten,
and very likely in ninety nine out of
the hundred, they were the exact OPP
posite of the truth. Gentle, restful
sleep is better than any medicine, and
how often, even how almost invaria-
bly,, does the "change for the better"
for which anxious friends are waiting
SO prayerfully, come during sleep
making it's first manifestation when
the patient awakes with frightened
eye, stronger voice, faint tinge Of
returning health mantling the feat
ures, in place Of the wan hue of
threatening death! In the words of
Sancho Panza, we may well say,
BLESSED be the man who invented
sleep!'' There are, of course, critical
situations in which troubled, imper
feet sleep may properly be broken to
administer medicines; but in these
later days physicians, quite generally,
give the caution that in case of rest
full sleep the patient is not to be
awakened for the administering of
medicines.

The Closure Rule Question.

The necessity for a closure rule in the
Senate cannot be overestimated. The
question whether the majority shall rule
has been sharply presented by the
measures taken by the minority in the
Senate to prevent a vote upon the repeal
bill II is in the powerof a mparatively
few senator's to defeat any bill by
hlibustering tactics. The repeal bill will
be passed in all probability, but its pass
age VIII not be due wholly to the fact
that it has majority in its favor, but to
the decision of the minority not to use all
the means in their power to defeat its
passage Those who were opposing the
bill saw that the people were not in
sympathy with them and so decided to
abandon their position
During the regular session the bill re-
pealing the federal election laws and the
tariff bill will come before the Senate.
Both bills viii be vigorously opposed by
the republicans. If they resort to hIibus-
tering 1t will be impossible TO pass either
of them. 1t is not known what course
they viii pursue. The Senate, however,
should not be at the mercy of the minor
ity. It ought to have rules that would
enable the majority TO reach a vote when
a reasonable time for debate had been al
lowed
Senator Hill is on the right line in
urging the adoption of closure rule. If
he succeeds in having such a
rule adopted he viii be accorded a lead
ing position in the Senate. II has been
clearly demonstrated that what is called
senatorial courtesy cannot be relied upon.
1t answers except upon extraordinary oc-
casions, and then it fails. The conditions
in the Senate should be such that the
minority could never defeat the majority.
II the republican senators should pursue
the course followed by the silver senators
the Democratic party could not fulfill its
pledges to the people. 1t could not repeal
the Objectionable election laws or reform
the tariff. Senator Hill should make a
fight for a closure rule and continue it
until success crowns his efforts.
