A GIFT That May ne acquired.

Any woman who wishes to be a social
success should cultivate the gift of remem-
bering faces and names A little attention at
the time, little care to fix an individual
by name and feature in the memory, will
bring it's sevenfold reward. While some
lucky people possess the faculty naturally,
and others are woefully deficient In this
respect, still it can be cultivated, so that
study will supply the lack Of memory, and
the social aspirant may assume virtue
though she have IL nss."-Nsw York Trib

Hours and Wages.

Since fifty years ago there has been

duction in the hours Of labor But this
was not accomplished for the pleasure
OF the wage earners; it was accomplish.
ed because experience proved that after
certain state OF fatigue psd c~ch
reached labor was Improbable. The
hours may still further be reduced. 4
large volume Of evidence has been col.
lected in the last few years to show that
production Is even more economical

hour or a ten-hour day. Experiments
IN this direction are in progress. II

ten hours they will work.
Wages have been largely increased IL
the past fifteen years, but this is due
purely to economic causes. The "prin.
cipie of Christianity which attaches an
absolute value, greater than that Of all
earthly things, to a human being a.
SUCH" has not induced any employer
to increase wages. 1t can be shown
that this principle has led to the i'm

But which she loved best
She needed a test

And young man No.
Got slain with a gun;
But her heart was as light as L>A-re.
20 she knew that she didn't love him,
That her fancy was only whim;
But still there were two,
Both eager TO WOO,
And still her loves eyesight was dim.
But youth No. in fight
Was captured one terrible night.
And they made him the meat

And she found that her heart was still
light.
10 she didn't love that one, she knew.
But she was still in doubt what to do.
For young man No. 3,
For all she could see,
Was no dearer than youth No. 2.

For the enemy made a fierce raid,
And, with arrow points filled,
Her last lover was killed;
