This Is a Good World Fer Girls.
Martin Luther, writing a letter o.
coincidence to one Of his friends who
had lost his daughter, began by saying
"This is a hard world for girls" 1t is
for those who are dependent upon theil
own wits, and the whims Of the world,
and the preferences Of human favor,
but those who take the Eternal God fol
their portion not later than 10 years Of
age, and that is ten years later than II
ought to be, will find that while Martin
Luther's letter Of coincidence was true
in regard to many, If not most, with
respect TO those who have the wisdom
and promptitude and Che earnestness to
get right with God, declare that this
is good world for girls
Advice the second; Make II matter
Of religion to take care Of your physical
health. Ido not wonder that the Greek,
deifed health and hailed Hygeia as a
goddess. rejoice that there have been
80 many modes Of maintaining and re-
storing young wUmsnly health invented
in our time. They may have been
known long time back. but they have
been ropulsrl1ed in cur day-lawn ten

1t always feemed strange and inscruta-
bic that our human race should be so

short while we were weighed down
with incapacities, and most men II
they run q mile are exhausted or dead
from the exhaustion. II was left until
the last decade Of the nineteenth cen
tury to give the speed which we see
whirling through All our cities and
along the country roads, and with that
speed comes health. The women Of the
next decade will be healthier than at
any time since the world was created,
while the invalidim which has so often
characterized womanhood will pass over
to manhood, which By its posture On

up straight when you ride.
Darwin says the human race Is de-
soended from the monkey, but the hicy-
cle will turn a hundred thousand men
Of the present generation IN physical
condition from man TO monkey. For
good womanhood, l thank God that this
mode Of recreation has been Invented.
Use it wisely, modestly, Christianity.
No good woman needs to be told what
attire is proper and what behavior is

Then mothers do not amount TO much
anyhow They are IN the way and are
always asking questions about postage
marks Of letters, and asking, "Who is
that Mary D. ?" and Where did you
form that acquaintance, Florai" and
"Where did you get that ring, Myra"
For mothers have such unprecedented
