nothing higher than a conception Of our

Salt points out that the animals, IL they

their lives?" According to her, if we can

them.

GRIEF.
Literature Which Develops Nothing
but Morbid SentfmentaIism.

There is a certain morbid sentiment
among women which is admired and Guilt
waited by many of us who are otherwise
sufficiently strong minded. / mean a fond
ness for a peculiar type of poetry and those
terrible little books which are sent by ones
friends the moment a bereavement or other
trouble occurs. / have known a case where
seventeen of these little volumes were re-
c5ived by a mOurner within two weeks. The
donors had drawn heavy pencil marks
around all the most narrowing passages,
so that by no chance could they be over
looked, and over these books were spent
hours and hours of weeping. that certainly
did not make the loss any easier to bear.
Nor are mourners the only women who
indulge themselves in this way. The very
happieSt of women will treasure scraps Of
verses from the newspapers descriptive of
the most heartrending sorrow. and make
themselves cry over them with real enjoy
ment.
What I desire to emphasize is that women
do themselves a great deal OF harm by in
dulging this morbid sentiment. 1t takes the
place of wiser, more healthful houghts and
coincidence. II is exactly as pernicious as
is reading medical books a study of which
will convince nervous persons that they
have every disease therein described.

HarperS Weekly.
The newspaper which made this amazing
business success for many years strictly
confined itself to the average life of the av-
erage householder. This was the secret OF
its success. The intrepid championship OF
new ideas and of to-morrow'S reform was
altogether out of the province of the Led
ger. The attempt to quicken and inspire
the life of a community by bringing into
the narrow life Of the borough the worlds
wider affairs, or news Of national haps and
mishapS. was not a task TO which the Led
ger devoted its SuperfiuOuS revenues. When

all its phases. and aid TO all its better
efforts. Few papers have been published SO

Private John Allen, of Mississippi, Is in a
sad state. He feels himself absolutely ahoat
in darkness, without a single star TO guide
him. He says he came TO Congress with
absolute reliance on three things as Demo-
cratic:
1. That the Democratic party was surely
for free coinage of silver.
2. That the Anglo-SaXon white man was
the born ruler of all colorS.
3. That Thomas Bracket Reed was an
irrepressible tyrant without one redeeming
trait.
Last October the Democratic party,
House. Senate and President. set up the
gold standard and stopped the coinage of
silver" he said. This bothered me, but /
held on to the other two. Yesterday We
voted to put a colcred woman over Ameri-
can white men in Hawaii. That kept me
awake all last night, but l said, L can cling
TO that principle about Reed. He certainly
was a tyrant without n r~edeeminS. trait.
You can imagine my state of mind when
the Speaker said that Reed. in the middle

sible chance and out Of kindness of heart.

Girls Make Themselves Sick Prepar-
ing for the Wedding Day.
New York Journal.

NEW lOlh
Every expectant bride wants to look her
very best on her wedding day. 1t is the
red-letter day of her life, the day when
however insignificant she may be, she is
by universal consent of paramount import
ance, the observed of all observers. Be
side her bridal splendor the groom sinks
into a mere necessary ~appendage.
A girl would give or do or endure any
thing for the sake of looking her sweetest
and p~rettiest on the day which ends her
maidenhood and promotes her into a ma
tron, except-and the exception is so easy.
too, a mere n~egation-to avoid overfatigue
and anxiety in her preparations.
Many a girl sewS herself sick in her de-
termination TO have her regulation doZer )
Of lingerie, and TO possess gowns OF every
conceivable shape and color. She thriftily
reckons that she can have twice as many
by making them herself or by sewing with
twice the nervous energy of a paid seam
stress with her home d~ressmaker. So she
has the gowns at the expense of her color
and roundness and nerves. and goes TO
the altar pale and worn, and often with an
uncomfortable tendency to nervous irrita-
ton, which promises Ill for the beginning
of her welded life.
Now and then a bride is sensible enough
to reflect that, fashion being as unstable as
an April day, IT is really more satisfactory
to get her gowns a few at a time as she
needs them, and that her utmost physical
vigor and mental serenity are more to be
desired at this important epoch of her life
than much purple and fine linen.
