practiced in any western country; for
carelessness resulting in the diffusion OF
gross exaggerations and for perversions OF
truth calculated to bring unmerited shame
upon the entire Japanese nation. 1t is not
difficult to sift the grains Of substantial
accusation from the mass Of angry vituper-
alton. The abuse of privilege is held to
be that these visitors sought and received
permission to follow the army for one
distinct purpose, that of supplying their
journals at home with authen tic war news,
and, although knowing that a certain
newspaper published in Yokohama, under
exlraterritoral protection. il unfriendly
to This country, they have nevertheless
fastened TO supply 1t with material for
working harm in its own peculiar way.
1t was not. the critics say. to enable
them to afford assistance and encourage
ment to an enemy of Japan on her own
soil that these strangers were given an
opportunity to pursue their avocation ad-
vantageously. Ideal cases of supposed
similarity are located in Europe and
America. None of them are precisely
parallel. but SO nearly 80 as to suggest no
little depth of meaning. And the question
is asked. WHAT would be thought in the
United States of persons who, after &C
cepting the position of favored guests in
war time, should gratuitously put weapons
of offense into the hands of an enemy?
The carelessness alleged is found in such
assertions as that an entirely peaceful
population was massacred when it is now
indisputably proved that the peaceful
population fed before the attack and has
since largely returned to its habitation,
the persons slaughtered having been
mainly Chinese soldiers in disguise. Per-

Better Than Ijtra.i2s.

Dr. William T. Harris, United States
commissioner Of education, in his annual
report, says: but far surprising libraries
in their educative influence are the daily
newspapers and magazines. We are gov
erned by public opinion, as ascertained
and expressed by the newspapers, to such
degree that cur civilization is justly to
be called a newspaper civilization" This
fact is becoming more recognized by the
educational expert and the student alike
as time passes. There is, therefore. great
need that the daily press be kept free from
matter of an Objectionable character. The
home newspaper. which refuses to cater to
the depraved tastes of the minority of
readers, loses its prestige the moment it
falters in its determination to improve in
moral tone and debar from it's column 5
everything which tends to lead to thirst,
among the younger of its readers, for news
or strictly literary matter Of an immoral
or low sensational type.

The poet and philosopher, Ralph Waldo
Emerson says:
IF eyes were made for seeing,
Then beauty is its own excuse for being. :"
Beauty Of feature ana elegance of form
have ever been the desire Of the feminine
mind. And it is a perfectly laudable and
natural ambition. Women are born to
sway the hearts and minds Of men as
much by their beauty and attractiveness,
as by the subtler charms of goodness and
purity.
And yet, how few women attain the
beauty which should be theirs, and in
those few who are beautiful, how quickly
their beauty fades! This is wrong
Women are naturally beautiful-at least
Of pleasing and attractive appearance--an
in nearly all the cases where women lack
these physical charms, the fault is their
own.
Good looks and beautiful forms are en-
tirely dependent upon good health. One
must have strong nerves and pure
blood to be beautiful. Failing
TO have these, is to fail of good looks

Why She Never Married.

When man tempts fate by reminding
spinster of her condition, his punish
ment is generally swift and sure. In a
county of Ireland where the Quakers were
numerous the entire body on one occasion
gathered together for one of their quarter
ly meetings.
After the exercises of the morning pub
lie luncheon was held, at which all the
Friends attended. The conversation turn
eG to matrimony.
Bridget, said an unmannerly youth
full member OF the society, speaking across
the crowded table to a prim, elderly
maiden lady, wilt thou tell me why thou
hast never married."
Certainly, Friend William" responded
the ready Bridget in voice audible over
the room. 'Tis because l am not so
aisy pleased as thy wife was London

attention and have been the subject of ed
itorial comment in some of the metropoli-
tan dailies.
"If could get hold of the so called new
woman, said Mrs. Booth, "I would make
her change her dress the first thing. /
would take her big sleeves and make them

be to collect the books that the new wom-
an reads, books that any God fearing,
right feeling woman would blush to have
about her, disgusting treaties on realism
and kindred topics. would pile these
books all up together and burn them, burn
them along with her cigarettes and her
chewing gum"
Mrs. Booth arraigned the new woman
as "a coarse, unfeminine and beartless
creature, from whom good men and wom-
en- alike turn with aversion" She says,
"This abnormal woman scorns wifehood
and has aspirations above motherhood. I"
she was willing that woman should ride
her wheel, swim, drive or do anything
which would perfect her physically, but
insisted that she should not forsake her
womanliness or forget that she has heart

TRupE VANDERBILT.

Each Is Heir TO sec, ,ooO, ,Ooo-The Groom's
Grandfather Helped Cyrus w. Field In
the Atlantic Cable Enterprise and In
vented the Clearing House Certificate.
Before the snow flies, we are told Moses
Taylor and Gertrude Vanderbilt will wed,
and thus will be united the lines of two
houses Of the new aristooracy Of wealth
that Is growing up in America. OF the
family of the bride to be the world is al
ready exceedingly well informed, though
there is probably some confusion in the
minds of many concerning which branch
of the family Miss Gertrude belongs to-
She Is the daughter of Cornelius Wander
bilt and has occasionally been mistaken by
the newspapers for Miss Consuela, the
daughter of Mrs. Willie X. Vanderbilt
1t is Miss Consuela and not Miss Gertrude
whose engagement to the young Duke Of
Marlborough has been rumored from time
to time. Miss Gertrude Vanderbilt is 10.
Her entrance into society took place early
in the present year, and she has ranked
among the gayest and most popular young
women of Newport's inner circle during
the entire season. She first met the man
who Is said to be her fance at some college
function at Yale, where ne was the ohum
of her cousin, W. H. Vanderbilt.
Although fashionable New Yorkers are
familiar with the family history of Moses
Taylor, few outside that city remember
that his grandfather Of the same name
was one Of the chief assistants of Cyrus
W. Field in the laying Of the Atlantic
cable. The young maj was popular at
Yale, where he was president Of the Uni
