Should BE Business Like,
By the United Press.
Boston, Nov. 30.--The full bench of
the supreme court today sent down a
decision sustaining the exceptions of
the defendant in the famous Van Hou-
ten-Morse breach of promise case, in
which Miss Van Houten secured a ver-
dict Of $4,000 against A. p. Morse of
Cambridge. Mr.. Morse is 70 years old
while the plaintiff is considerably
younger.
The decision contains rulings never
before made in this state, and distinctly
lays down for the first time the rule
that marriage contracts are to be re-
garded in the same light as business
contracts, and further, that false repre-
sentations by either party, unprompted
by inquiry of facts material to the con-
tract are to be considered by the jury
in making up its verdict.
Miss Van Houten, the plaintiff, came
here from Spokane, Wash, in 1890. She
sued for 100000 and was awarded $40, 900.

London, Nov. 30.-Thomas +. Bayard,
United States Ambassador, presided
this evening at the annual dinner of the
London Scottish corporation. In his
toast to the Queen, Mr.. Bayard said:
Her practice Of domestic virtue and
dignified private life entitle her justly
to the affection of her own people and
all civilized mankind the world over"
(Cheers)
In proposing the health of the Prince
and Princess of Wales, mentioned by
their Scotch titles, the Duke and Ouch
ess of Rothesay, the ambassador said:
This is a reminder that the kingdom is
yet union. (Cheers) The three-fold
bond Is the rose, thistle and shamrock.
Such a union will not be broken easily"
Part of his toast to the corpora
ton was: 81 admit that ] am an alien
and a stranger in such an assembly,
touched by a common impulse and
l cannot regard it as Il solecism that |
am called to the place of honor in the

human heart under all circumstances.
I'm the United States men live under
written constitution, which has the
effect of staying the force of mere
members and restraining the passions
of mere majorities, and controls the ac-
cidental results of legislative power.
Hence the saying in the United States
that the constitution is intended to
protect minorites. So associations like
the corporation can be regarded as
moral constitutions protecting these,
whom fate has placed in distress, from
the storms of adversely"
In closing the toast Mr.. Bayard re-
fered to the honorable history of the
corporation throughout the $50 years
OF It's existence.

WOMEN AND HOUSEKEEPING.

Another foolish notion that has
grown prevalent is that womanli-
ness and good housekeeping do not
go together. Ignorance, incompe-
tence and Incidence have ruined
many home; and many men do
not marry because they feel they can
not support more than one woman
Why should not every wife be thor
oughly able to make the clothes for
the family if necessary; also to pre-
pare the food and take intelligent
care of the household and children
Is it degrading sphere for wcm-
an? 1t is nothing but the thought
of a fashionable fool! The notion
that our girls are to be reared to
womanhood without looking we'll
to the ways of the household is
worthy of every woman's ridicule
and every mans contempt. Can a
woman be certain that there will
never be any need for her daughter
to do these things? When it is de-
grading thing for the father of the
family to work, and strive, and plan
to procure the means of support
then it may be disgraceful for the
wife of that man to be frugal and
sensible, and stain her lily fingers in
discharging the duties of her house
Is it mental occupation to keeI
forever bright the doors of the earth
ly side of paradise? Is it a menia
occupation for a high-m1ndeC
woman to do the grandest duties re
quired of any woman under the sun
Is it mental occupation to perform
those sweet and humble duties fol
which God most fitted woman?-

THE SCHOOL AND HEALTH.

The modern school is now the
most widely extended institution the
world has ever seen, and it was
never so fast extending as at present
North Africa, New Zealand, Egypt,
Finland, and many till lately bar
barous lands, under the present
colonial policies have developed
elaborate school systems. The iu-
venile world now goes to school and
has its brain tiltallated and tattered,
and we have entirely forgotten that
men have been not only good citizens
but great, who were in idyllic ignor-
ance of even the belauded invention
of Cadmus.
Now, if this tremendous school en-

with catholic consensus of belief
perhaps never before attained, is in
the least degree tending to deterio-
ate mankind physically, it is bad.

What shall it profit child if he gain

One of the busiest and most sue
cessful business men in a Western
city and his accomplished wife set
apart one evening each week for
their four children. For that time
they accept no engagements and
give no invitations. All the family
plan for the occasion and look for
ward to it with peculiar pleasure.
The children are allowed for that
one evening to sit up as late as their
parents and all unite in the innocent
games and plays which delight the
childish heart. These parents hold
the claims of their own children su-
perior to all society demands, and
perhaps the weekly relaxation is
one reason for the clear head and
keen judgment which has enabled
the father to win and hold conspic-
uous business success. And there is
little danger that boys and girls
brought up in such an atmosphere
will ever acquire a taste for ques-
tionable amusements or vicious COM
panions.

TWO WAYS OF LOOKING Att.

A famous Brighton minister once
visited a wretched +urnble-down cot
rage or cabin in Ireland, where he
found a poor man lying i'll, on
mean uncomfortable bed.
There was little to cheer him dur
ing the long, weary day, as he lay
fevered and helpless; no pretty pic
lures to rest his eyes upon, no sweet
scented nosegay of flowers by his
bedside, and but few friends to come
and sit and talk to him. And the
minister noticed that above the sick
mans head there were great holes IN
the roof.
Dear, dear!" said the minister,
You must find those holes very
awkward in bad weather'
"Ahl sure and l like them" said
the poor man: 'ffor l can count the
stars through them as they go shin
