MISS ALCOTT'S PHILOSOPHY.
She Writes That Women Need Re-
ligiOn of Their Own.

Letters written at intervals during the
last few years of Louisa NJ. Alcott's life
to five "little girl friends" edited by Ed
ward w. Box, were printed in April La
dies Home journal. The author of Lit
tie Women" in these letters chats with de-
lightiu! freedom about her york, her
cares, her early struggles and influences,
and Of her religious faith. In writing to
one OF her little girls" who had just lost
a sister-one of the five correspondents of
earlier years-Miss Alcott says with char
aeteristic charm and loving candor:
81 think you need not worry about any
name for your faith, but simply try to be
and do good, to love virtue i'll others, and
study the lives of those who are truly
worthy of imitation. Women need Il re-
ligion of their own, for they are called
upon to lead quiet, self sacrificing life
with peculiar trials, needs and joys, and
1t seems to me that very simple one is
fitted to us whose hearts are usually more
alive than heads, and whose hands are
tied in many ways. Health of body helps
health of soul; cheerful views of all things
keep up the courage and brace the nerves
Work for the mind must be had, or daily
duty becomes drudgery, and the power to
enjoy higher things is lost.
'lnAnge or scene Is sometimes salvation
for girls or women, who outgrow the
place they are born in, and it is their duty
to go away, even if it is to harder work
for hungry minds prey on themselves, and
bodies suffer for escape from too pale or
narrow life. ! have felt this and often
goneaw from Concord to teach, which /

for more should not be condemned, but

sign that business and not sympathy
prompts them to do as they have done.
1t is well understood fact that the
distance to market should be measured
largely by the dynamometer rather than
by the surveyors chain. Hence the bet

Produce that cannot be hauled to the
railroad with profit to the farmer IS SC
much business lost to the railroads.
On ordinary roads the cost of hauling
produce to the local railway station Is
several times as much as the railroad
charges for conveying it to the metropo
lis or seabOard.
1t is clear that bad roads may make
the marketing Of much produce unprott'
able and unwise whereas good roads
would make it worth transporting, and
thus they would greatly increase the
railroads income and at the same time
benefit the farmers.
Under present conditions railroad traf
