women In a Photograph Gallery.

sIf you want to see some of the vani-
ties of life, just pass week in photog-
rapher's gallery" said one who has grown
gray in the art that immortalizes. THAT
the bulk of our patrons is of the class of
handsome people is a common belief, but
not correct one.
''Of course pretty women of certain
class get an enormous number of pictures
taken, which they use almost as some
people do cards, to give away to every
body. But a large number of orders
come from people who are positively
homely. Photographers rarely do a
pretty face full justice. We cannot fiat
ter nature without spelling the effect
entirely, but we can help out homely
person wonderfully, and the shrewd pho
tographer doesn't neglect to do it in
every possible way. 1 have seen COM
monplace looking women go into ecsta-
sizes over pictures of themselves.
''The painter who can use the modifi-
cations of light and shade in colors has a
big advantage over US, but we have
pretty well balanced things by touching
up photographs in water colors. It's
wonderful what exalted opinions some
women have of their personal beauty.
I have seen some of them who have been
dealing with me for quarter of CEN
tury, and they expect that their pictures
of today shall show as attraetively as
those of decades ago."-New York Com
mercial Advertiser.

Wordsworth on Women.

Wordsworth indulges not infrequently
in caustic remarks ON women who write,
toward whom he always retained root
ed objection. 1t is said that after Miss
Martineau took up her residence in his
neighborhood this adherence to author
esses sometimes took such active express
sion that the deaf lady was frequently
obliged to see what she could not hear
and perforce to recognize that her pres
ence was unwelcome at Rydal Mount.
She herself, however, makes no mention
of anything of the kind when alluding
to the Wordsworths and her intercourse
with them.
On one occasion, after unsparingly
condemning work by Miss Sedgwiek,
he concludes his criticism thus: "Such
productions add to my dislike of literary
ladies indeed make me almost detest
the name" And further on again 1 find
the rather sweeping announcement that
''blue stockingism is sadly at enmity
with true refinement of mind" This
last is said in reference to Sara Cole
ridge, whom he rather pettishly accuses
of monopolizing Mr.. Quillinan's atten-
ton on one occasion during the time of
the latter's engagement to his daughter
Dora. Perhaps as the remark is made
in letter to Quillinan himself something
in the nature of tacit reproof may be
included in it for him also.-Cornhill

Literary Note.

The second edition of the December
Worlds Fair Cosmopolitan brings the TO-
tai up to the extraordinary figure of 400.
600 copies, an unprecedented result in the
history of magazines. Four hundred
thousand copies 200 tons-ninety four
million pages-enough to I'll 200 wagons
with 1000 pounds each-in a single line,
in close order, this would be file of
wagons more than mile and a half long.
This means not less than 100000 read
ers, scattered throughout every town and
village in the United States. The course
of The Cosmopolitan for the past twelve
months may be compared to that of a
rolling snowfall; more subscribers mean
more money spent in buying the best ar
ticles and best Illustrations in the world
better Illustrations and better articles
mean more subscribers, and SO the two
things are acting and reacting upon
each other until it seems probable that
the day is not far distant when the mag
azine publisher will be able to give so
excellent an article that it will claim the
attention of every intelligent reader in
the country.

A National Appeal.

The American Protective Tariff League
in special and extraordinary session ON
December 10Th, responding to the earn
est request of wage earners, unanimously
agreed that it was necessary to call upon
the press of the United States to urge
every patriotic citizen to assist in defeat
ing the Wilson Free Trade Tariff, which
is now before Congress. If this measure
becomes law, the demand for labor in
all protective employments in this coun-
try will be decreased This will reduce
the wages of every man, woman or child
among US; permanently lower the stand
ard of living in this country; and, re-
duce the purchasing power of our wage
erners who constitute the great consum-
ing force in this land.
Every person, rich or poor, high or low,
old or young, who is not in favor of low
er wages and less comfort in life, should
at once write postal card to the Con-
gresham from his or her district, pro-
testing against the passsge of this bill
and demanding that the Mckinley Tar
iff be left unchanged. Write postal card
to day, and urge every friend of yours to
do the same. Perhaps your effort will
defeat Free Trade and save Protection

What the Growing Generation Wants.

There is one great fault with the grow
ing generation. The young men want
to get rich too fast. With wealth going
to waste all around them they cannot
find it in their souls to be patient. They
are not content to plod along as their
fathers did before them and slowly lay
up fortune. They must have it now,
today, this instant. When they go into
an enterprise, they want capital and lots
of it. They want to begin on big scale
and electrify the world.
1t is not the age of saving, but of
spending. Speculation is the craze of
the hour. Every man wants to make
more than he can earn by the sweat of
his brow. He must double his money in
night and quadrdple it the next day.
1t is an altogether artificial existence.
Contentment is not sought nowadays.
All that men want is excitement.-New
York Tribune.
