A Cruel Injustice.

In the course of her address at the
dedication of the woman's building at
the Worlds fair Mrs. Potter Palmer
said: 'Of all existing forms of injus-
tice there is none SO cruel and incon-
sistent as the position in which women
are placed with regard to self-mainte-
nance; the calm ignoring of their rights
and responsibilities which has gone on
for centuries.
"'Would you have women step down
from their pedestals?' some men ask.
Yes, if we can find any women on pc
destals, let them step down. Freedom
and justice for all are infinitely better
than pedestals for a few. always sus-

A Wonderful Pianist.

Nine Leschetizky, the wife of the
great pianoforte teacher, to whom Pad
erewski ascribes his success, is also a
wonderful exponent of her husbands
method. If it were possible, say those
who have heard her, to think that she
cares two straws about what she plays,
she would also be one of the greatest
executive musicians in Europe. No
technical difficulties give her trouble
enough to rouse her. She seems to have
discovered that all is vanity, and so,
with her Indifference cloaked by SUI

A MEETING FOR ARBITRATION
How the Quarrel of Two Small Boys Wal
Settled in Peaceable Manner.


Settled in a Peaceable Manner.
Once two little boys were having a
fight. The one possessed an apple and
the other wanted share of it. They
could come to no agreement as to
where the apple should be divided and
SO they proceeded to settle the diff
Guilty according to the arbitrament of
war. Now these two boys were fortu-
nate in possessing wise father, and
just as they were squaring off to plant
their deadly blows where they would
do the most good, the father came and
leaning over the fence, calmly said:
swell, sons, do you want me to UNI
pire? Possibly before you proceed to
bloodshed you had better tell me the
cause of hostilities." OF course they
both began to talk at once, and very
loudly, with many tears. Hold on
said the father, I'VE must dc

ing will come to order. Jack has the
floor. The gentleman with his stock
ing down will remain quiet while the
gentleman with the dirty face state'
his case" The gentleman with tn
dirty face stated his case. Then the gen.
tleman with the fallen stocking stated
his. Then they began to call each other
names, with more tears But the
chairman promptly called the meeting
to order and threatend to have both
expelled by the sergeant at arms if they
did not remain quiet Then he said
Gentlemen, as came to this place OF

stance of what | mean:
A young lady of my acquaintance had
often complained to me of the bad con.
duct of her two brothers-how they
were always out, spending their time
and money at theaters ana other places
of amusement, and caring nothing for
the society and comfort of those at
home, and setting at naught the au,
thority OF their mother their father
being dead). o
After had spent a few days u Gss
house. however, ! was no longer sur.
prised at the existing state of things.
1t was always uncertain whether the
brothers would be home for dinner.
On the first evening after my arrival,
iust before that meal, there was the
sound of latch-key, and my friend
said: ''Oh, there is Tom, | suppose"
But, although it was dismal, wet
night, neither she nor her mother went
out to greet him, and heard him go
straight up to his room without word
of welcome from any one.
We began dinner, and after time he
came in, but the only remark vouch.
safed him was the irritably-spoken
complaint that he was late, as usual"
After dinner the mother took up her
knitting and my friend read a book.
No one noticed the brother, who
lounged about grumbling at the
weather, and finally went out, mutter-
ing that this was a lively sort of a
house to come home to after days
hard work"
We saw no more of him until next
morning when he and his brother, who
had not hitherto appeared at all, came
down late to breakfast, and were met
as usual with reproaches. | was not
surprised to hear, not long after, that
both these boys had completely 'gone
! to the bad" as they say.
1t would probably have surprised the
sister to hear that she was to some ex.
| tent responsible for her brothers bad
conduct. At least it is plain to me
that she might, if she had exerted her
sisterly influence over them. have
probably saved one brother at least.
IT, instead of perpetually calling at
tention to their failings, she had tried
to shield them; if, instead of upbraid-
ing them for being late, she had met
them at the door with a welcome;
if she had shown an interest in their
occupations; if she had invited them
in the evenings to sing with her or read
to her; or, if they must go to entertain
ments. she had encouraged them to
take her sometimes-if she had done
one or all of these things, they would
have loved their home. But she did
none of these, and thus her influence
was actually used to drive them away
from home.
EVIL is wrought by want of thought
as well as want of heart" and in many
cases, where girls are failing to use
their influence for good, it is because
they have not considered the evil they
are doing; it is not from want of heart
but want of thought. Let every CIR
ask herself whether, when her young
days are over, she will be able to look
back and see with satisfaction that she
has played the part of a true sister and
friend. If she can answer yes" she
will be happy girl.-Mary Selwood

PLAYING FOR HIGH STAKES.
A Young Mans Chances When He Sits to
Play with Satan.

A Young Mans Chances When He Sits to
Play with Satan.
There is celebrated painting by
Retsch, in which, with wondrous skill,
the artist has portrayed a game of
chess between Satan and young man,
who has stabed his soul on the issue.
The truth and vivid power of the rep
resentation; the different expressions
in the faces of the players; the gay,
needless look of the young man, all un-
conscious of his peril; the cunning,
hellish leer of the fiend, as the chances
seemed to turn in his favor, can never
be forgotten by any who have ever be-
held them.
The picture is only too true. And
only too true is it that every young
man who trifles with sin stakes his
soul in an old game in which Satan is
more than match for him. To the
man the game is new, maybe very
fascinating for time, but sure as the
world he is in, he will lose. Satan has
played the game so long, is in such con-
slant practice, understands the moves"

it by the suphonious title OF sowing

taste only little of the wine at Satan's
banquet lust to try" But of all the
mad delusions there is none greater
than the one that young men must
''sow their wild oats" if:they would
have harvest of pleasure. Equal
folly is it to think that sin and Satan
can be trihed with. There is legend

American Women submit TO AnnOyahces

Wherever we meet the American
woman-and we meet her everywhere,
in the ranks of the English peerage

cy, as we'll as in more modest condi'
tions-we are struck with that marvel
GUS adaptability in which wise men sea
the sign of the superiority of race or
of species, says the Popular Science
Monthly. 1t is revealed notably by
that good humor with which she ac-
cepts the numerous petty annoyances
that every change of medium implies
and which put the best characters on
trial.
She submits to them without effort
and criticises them without bitterness;
she is, further, prepared for them by
her education, and does not expect to
find everything easy. Then the neces-
sity of manual labor does not seem to
her like a degrading condition; at
most only one or two generations sep.
arared from the time when her grand
mother kneaded the family bread in
the primitive settlements. These sto-
ries are familiar to her, and the lessons
deduced from them are not discourag-
ing or humiliating. She is the daugh-
ter of race of emigrants who have be-
come great people through work,
energy and determination.
She has in this at her command a
whole treasury of traditions from which
she draws, not without pride We
might say, in listening to these stories,
that we were hearing one of those

DORE VASE IN LIBERAL ARTS BUILDING.
dreds of figures showing joyous beings
surround the base, body and lips of the
vase, while the vine twines in and out,
its persistency being marked while not
obtrusive. The illustration shows what
is generally considered the front view.
On either side the vine is wreathed to
form chaplet. At the left Bacchus,
with each arm around Cupid, holds
aloft cup. To the right Venus is
teaching Cupid the use of the bow
and arrow. Elsewhere are to be seen
satyrs and bacchantes.
But Cupids are everywhere. Baby
faces peer from the vine leaves and
frolic in the depths of the vase. A

are playing with beetles, flies, bees

others content themselves with watch

With all this wealth of detail the
work is not overcrowded. At dis
lance the effect is of simplicity. It is
only when close inspection is made
