Indt6srene 90 Domestic Iiess
III is unfortunate that we have In
tkis life of ours. which seems so full to
some of Us. SO many women who can
find nothing for their hands TO do.
writes Edward w. Box in Ladies' Home
Journal discussing Women and Card
Parties " II do not mean by this those
whom we call the wealthy and the lei
sure classes The greatest dangers TO our
womanhood do not arise from these
classes The woman most dangerous to
modern society is she who is married
and yet is Indifferent TO domestic ties.
who lives in boarding house or hotel.
and who is constantly on the lookout
for something TO occupy her attention.
And woman in this condition gener
ally finds the very thing she shouldn't.
Instead of filling up her life with some
thing worthy of her womanhood. she
drags il out through "a succession of such
enjoyments as these progressive card
parties
LAS she cannot play alone she seeks
company, and, unfortunately, it is never
difficult for woman OF this sort 10 find
companions Of her own kind She is
one of the types of women who have
made these card parties what they are
today among women. The well bred
woman; the woman of intelligence who
can see their relative fitness Of things;
the woman who believes that God gave
her something to do in this world; the
woman with nice perceptions; the wom-
an who is wholesome in every sense |;
the woman whom it is good for another
woman to know, who says something of
value when she speaks, who lifts herself
mentally and spiritually above others,
whom mothers like their daughters to
know and their sons to talk with-be-
lieve me, my friend, when l say all
this, and l say it in kindness-such
women do not play cards during the
daytime; they leave that sort of thing
to others. They find something else to
do-something worthier of them, some
thing better, more elevating, more en-
tightening and better fitted to qualify
them for their positions in their homes
and their duties toward their husbands
and children.

BEASTS THAT GET SEASICK.
Lions Become Unkinglike, Monkeys Apo
Humanity, and Dogs Are Woefui.

Humanity, and Dogs Are Woefui.
Human beings are not the only ones
who suffer from seasickness by any
means One hears good deal about the
pangs that have filled men and women
with woe, but little is said of the men
ageries brought TO America every year,
or carried hither and yon in wavetossed
boats.
Lions and tigers may be majestic
when they have unwavering earth or
rock against their paws, but sea-
sick cat of these tribes is as forlorn as
any man ever was and doesn't look a
bit more kingly than wet rabbit. Even
its roars and growls have weeping
sound in them, quite in keeping with
the general appearance of the beast.
A monkey is as pitiful an object when
it is seasick as any other beast SO strick-
en-, and its forlorn facial expression is
so human like and the way it clasps its
paws across its stomach is so natural
that the man who is not seasick neces-
sarily sees something to laugh at in the
misery Of the creature. Not so with the
seasick man. If he sees a seasick mon
key he is sure to swear furiously, think
ing the poor thing is mocking him.
1t takes dog to be woeful at sea. 1t
has a way of doubling all up, with its
tail between its legs and head hanging
down that shows deep seated pain. To
free itself the dog goes through all sorts
Of contortions. 1t will stretch out on the
deck, groan and squeal, sometimes ris-
ing on its launches and lifting its head,
howl long and miserably, as some dogs
do at the sound of music. -New York

THE ,~lsH PASTOR.
He IL the spogssrth Aroon" Of the Poor
and Needy.

There is perhaps no better pastor In
the world from the spiritual point Of
view. The Irish people regard him with
mingled feelings Of awe and reverence
and love. A good deal Of this regard is
no doubt inspired by superstition-by q
dread of the supernatural powers sup
posed 20 be possessed by Gods anoint-
ed" but apart from that Father Pat
has secured for himself the warmest cor.
ner in the hearts of his flock by his ex.
cellent qualities as spiritual pastor.
as a friend when the soul is in need. as
asconsoler In sickness. distress and mis-.
fortune. Many-of the priests may lack
social grace and culture, but they are
eminently fitted for the spiritual duties
which, as pastors, they have to dis
charge Fine gentlemen not needed for
the hard and repellent services-as they
appear 10 secular eyes-of the Catholic
church III Ireland
Father Pats single minded devotion
TO the duties of his Office. and his keen
interest in the spiritual needs of his
flock, give him a surer title 10 the re-
spect and reverence of the people than
culture and learning Besides. he Is
brought into intimate relations with the
people all through life. but especially AT
its most momentous and solemn occa'
siOns. "Soggarth aroon" is the peoples
term of endearment for Father Pat. and
one of the most popular of the peasants
songs asks:
Who in the winters night.
Soggarth aroon,
When the cold blast did bite.
Soggarth aroon,
Came 10 my cabin door,
And on my earthen floor
Knelt by me, sick and poor
Soggarth aroonS
Regarding them as body, the priests
are indeed very simple minded. I'M
worldly and warm hearted body of men,
without craft or guile-though, accord
ing to their enemies, who know them
not. these are their distinctive qualities
and they pass through their narrow.
colorless and self sacrificing lives cheer
fully and gladly, seeking no rewards, so
far as this world is concerned, but the
esteem and love of their fiocks Con
