woMAN,s HEALTH

1t used to be the fashion for women to be
delicate, fragile creatures, but fortunately,
that day is past, and it is to be hoped that
humanity will not retrograde in that respect
In the present it is the hearty, healthful
woman who holds sway over the love and ad-
miration around her, and it is because her
mental nature partakes Of the vigor and buoy
ancy of her physical nature. As a rule
Though there are exceptions,) woman in Ill
health is morbid, irritable and pessimistic.
her views Of life are gloomy; she is over-sen-
sitive to the unpleasant parts Of life, and dis
trustful of human nature in general. Not so
with the woman Of glowing health. She sees
the bright side Of everything; the little worries
Of life do not daunt her, and the great
troubles are met with courage, and best Of all,
she has confidence in other people and their
intentions. She cheers and uplifts all with
| whom she comes in contact, and for the merry
ones she has a smile or Jest Of ready sym.

noble men and women. And the truest wo-

WOMEN AND ADVERTISING

Women are the most persistent readers Of
advertising. The fact that they are more
emotional and consequently far more readily
influenced than men. makes 1t considerably
easier to appeal to them. They are, in ad-
dition, far less skeptical, and the ice once
broken the advertiser will find warm water,
and smooth sailing underdeath. However,

SAN FRANCISCO NEWS LETTER ON
"FAMILY CULTURE"

A society has been started in Boston that

mum when its operations have had time to
be tried and tested. It is nothing less than a
movement to improve the race by teaching
the people the fatal effects Of carnal intem-
peranee and its relation to coatagon," and
thus, in time, improve the human physique,
just as horses and dogs and cattle have been
improved by careful breeding Prudery and
ignorance will blush aud vaunt against the
daring scheme, its promoters say, but they
console themselves with believing that, in a
few generations, manliness and beauty, San.
dows and Tribys will be the prevailing types
on our thoroughfares, and then their reward
will come. This is big undertaking. The
sensual has been dominant in man too long
to be easily put under lock and key and kept
in scientific control, and yet this is what the
Society OF Family Culture seriously pro-
poses to do. The works OF Tolsloi, Ibsen,
and Zola are to be encouraged, hut what will
Max Nordau say TO this, for he has called Toll
stoi "penieious" and Isben "morbid" and
degenerate1 And yet it may be possible, as
the promoters Of this society claim, to "dis.
cuss sexual subjects" in apure manner. and
that such discussions aren't necessarily obscene
but for the present. society is more likely to
let lis children "diseuss" such subjects not at
all; and, while "Family Culture" may be
possible in the future. the world will. in all
likelihood, prefer to live on in the old way,

DESPAIR IN RECENT FICTION.

A writer who uses the initials Q.W. has an
Article in the Religious Review of Reviews, in

the dominant feature OF the novels of the

''Some ten years ago was published book by
Miss Olive Sehreiner, called The Story Of an

that women are not all alike. You can't make

thaw him out. You can't convince him that
