Girls Look Only on the Bright and Pleas
ing sides of Life.

A young man addresses to Edward
w. Box the query: "Why is it that in
SO many cases, might almost say the
majority of cases, a quiet, well be-
haved, earnest-minded, religious young
mans seriousness is ignored by so
many girls (between Is and 2O),
and the company of giddy, idle, sense
less youths preferred?" and in the July
Ladies Home Journal editorial reply
is made. Mr.. Box contends that girls
at that age take few things seriously,
and are not given to looking upon the
serious side of life; that only the
bright, pleasant side attracts them.
cit is only natural that to a girl of
such an age the young man of bright
conversation, fippant and meaningless
though that talk may be, has an indie
Unable attraction. She would far ra-
Their have it that he can dance we'll than
that he can recite Emerson to her.
1t is the dancing time of her life, and
not the EmersOnion period. She is apt
to notice a mans clothes more than
his character. She likes the man bet
ter who pays her pretty compliments
than the one who says something SER
iOus. The young man who
pays her graceful attentions is pleasing
to her; she does not seek to penetrate
beyond the mere compliment. And
why should she? Young men are sim
ply one form of amusement; she does
not take them any more seriously than
she does anything else. The young
man of presentable appearance, who
dresses we'll and has command of the
small talk of society is her girlish Jack
in-the-bOx. The more attention he
pays, the more he fatters her, the bet
ter she is apt to like him. The earnest
young man who has ambition, who
studies and learns, whose talk is sensi-
bic rather than light, is a bit tiresome
to her. She may admire his purposes
so far as she can grasp them. She
may respect him. But if she is going
to party she does not want his COM
pany. She passes him by for the other
fellow who is graceful in the dance.
And is she to be blamed or to be CEN
sured for this? Not bit of it. While
she does as a natural, healthy girl
should; she lives her years of enjoy
raent and gets as much pleasure out of
them as she can. For this she is
girl. But if he will watch her after
she counts her years with the figure
two he will observe that slowly but
surely a process of gradual develop
Iaent takes place in the girl whom he
believed to be without thought or rea-
son. And equally sure will be his dis
eOvery that the companion of her
dances is not so eagerly welcomed by
her as once he was. He will then
gradually discover that the girl is not
the lght-hearted butterfly that he
thought her to be. She becomes in
terested in other things; conversations
which bored her a year or two earlier
now begin to have some meaning for
her. She begins to regard the inter
nal value of things. She looks at
young men from different stand
point. The young man who can sim
ply dance well does not represent the
same thing to her. She begins to look
for something else in the young men
who come to her. The woman has
simply begun to develop; the girl is
ceasing to be-"

SUCCESS AND POWER OF THE STORY.

SUCCESS AND POWER OF THE STORY.
The hook was published on March
20, 1862. Ten thousand copies were
sold in a few days and over 100000
copies, it is said, were in circulation
within a year. Its extraordinary
moral and political effect is now COM
mOnplace of history. A thrill of hor-
TOR and Indignation ran through the
North, and the rage of the Shareholders
fared out in their effort to keep the
story out the mails in the South. 1t
had done what years of agitation had
failed to do bringing home to the in
different masses at the North the true
meaning of the Southern slave sys-
tenn. No account of the causes that
led to the outbreak of the rebel
lion and the quick response the
North made to the first gun fired
on Sumter can be complete in which
FUncle Toms Cabin" does not have
an important place.
In England, too, the book had an
enormous sale and marked political
effect. Within year after its first APP
pearance eighteen London publishing
houses had taken it up, and forty
editions had appeared. Translation
were made, sooner or later, into nearly
twenty languages. In this country
the book has had steady sale for over
thirty years. The story was put on
the stage, too, in over twenty different
forms, and has been played times al
most without number. Unhappily,
the author had no royalty from any
one of these dramatized forms, and
got no income from them.
This success of "Uncle Toms Cabin
turned Mrs. Stoves attention to liter.
airy work as a profession, and she be-
came most prolific writer.

A very peculiar state of affairs has
just been discovered in New York city,
and that is that the pupils of public
schools are getting the very poorest
kind of training in two very impor-
tant studies geography and history.
The other day nine hundred girls went
mp to the Normal School to take exam
nation for admission. OF this large
number only five were able to pass the
examination in these two studies.
The high percentage of the other stud
les carried eight hundred of the other
girls through, but what miserable
thing it is to think that for four years
they are to study to fit themselves for
teaching, yet during that time they get
no geography at all.

The mark-dOWn trick.
Some stores are always hav-
ing a mark-down sale--you
see the advertisements, signs
in the windows, price-marks,
etc.: selling for half" one
price crossed off and a lower
one on in red ink.
You know the trick-the
crossed-off prices never were
on the "halfprices ARE high
the goods are bad ; Peter
Funk.
We mention the trick, be-
cause we are doing the thing
it counterfeits.
Selling-not at cost-at a
loss of $4,000 to $4,000
not old or poor stuff-but all
we've got in sight, and all you

We always have a more
generous stock of black ready
made than is to be found in
any other store in the United
States and that means in the
world for Europe is far be-
hind us in wholesale tailoring.
This is a good indication of
tall our summer black put
down from a fifth to more than
half. We shall make more
like it eight months hence.
Meantime we shall turn our
money. That's the reason for
selling with loss-for profit.
That's what we're doing
every day till fall taking loss
for profit.

1t is hard to Judge a man thoroughly
by what we hear or read of him. There
may be something in his personality
that alters ones estimate after becom-
ing acquainted with him. We of the
East have been condemning John P.
Altgeld, governor of Illinois, as an
anarchist, and the opinion is justified
by his acts and speeches. But if he is
the man represented to us, how is it
that in great State like Illinois, whose
people are as sensible and wise as any
in the country, one of the two great
parties will endure his actions and
nominate him for the second time as
their chief executive.

Dig down to the cause of your sickness,
if YOU want to get well and stay WELL
Most likely it's Indigestion. The irritating
poisons of fermenting, putrid food, left in
the stomach by Indigestion, cause headache,
neuralgia, nervousness, dizziness, stomach
ache, nausea, irritability, and all the other
well-knOwn symptoms of indigestion.
They also cause many pains and disorders
which are often laid to other causes and
hence are not easily cured. But as soon as
the poisons are removed, all these symptoms
and disorders disappear, because there is
nothing left to cause them. Nothing sue
ceeds in this like Shaker Digestive Cordial,
because it prevents the undigested food from
fermenting in the stomach and helps the
stomach to digest its food.
Sold by druggists price 10 cents to $1.O0
per bottle.

Salem n. J. has a woman who is a
strong and Outspoken advocate of sill
yer as the money metal. One day re-
Gently she sent her son to the store for
some bread. Afterwards she happened
to reflect that she should have in her
possession a gold piece of the value of
$3.50, but a hunt for it showed that it
was missing, and it soon became evil
dent that it had been one of the pen
MES that bought the bread. Hurrying
to the store she found that the store
keeper had used it as penny to pur-
chase some milk, and a visit to the
milkman brought forth the further
fact that he had given it as a penny in
change to a customer. Who this Gus
toner was has not yet been dis
covered, but he or she is ahead So. 40
on the transaction, unless the gold
piece is still travelling around doing
duty as penny. The only one out on
the trasaction, so far as reported, is the
woman who bought the bread, and she
now declares for silver, as the metal
for money, and the coins cannot be too
big for her.-Sun6eana.

The Unity of the Interests of Men and
Women.
RACHEL FOSTER AVERY.

Much is said of the movement to-
ward equality of political rights for
women with their brothers, as being
an attempt to set men and women
against each other. This is view
held only by those outside of the
movement and who fail to comprehend
its true meaning.
To those who stand prominently
identified with this great cause, it is as
sacred as the freedom for which our
forefathers and foremOthers sacrificed
so much in fact, to many of us it
seems even broader in it's inclusive
ness because it affects one entire half
of the human race the world over.
Whoever has read the history of the
stage, no matter what may be his or
her attitude toward it as an educator
of the present day, cannot fail to adj
NIT that it has now a higher standing
both morally and artistically than in
the times when men alone occupied the
boards: Then no one was surprised at
delay once in the production of
Romeo and Juliet, when the explana-
ton was made from behind the foot
lights to His Majesty who was present,
that "the play would proceed as soon
aa Juliet was shaved. Think of
Shakespeare's dainty heroine person
fled by mani
In SO many ways both amusing and
provoking, men have felt themselves
called upon to represent" women,
that it is difficult for them to realize
any possible advantage to be derived
from listening to the women's side of
questions presented by herself, but
just as certainly as do the mothers of
the land take better care of their chill
| dren than could any number of men
trying to represent" them in this re-
lation, just so surely will women do
better by making their opinions felt
directly upon the policy of the country
than by being represented" by men.
1t is the anti-suffragists who wish to
separate the interests of men and
women, not the woman suffragists;
the former draw an imaginary line
between the lives of men and women
and wish the two sexes carefully sep
arated lest their influence upon each
other should be for evil and notFfor
good; the equal suffragists have faith
to believe that the Creator made men
and women to be together in all walks
of life, made them to have recip-
rOcally good influence upon each
other. They feel that what God hath
joined no man-made laws should put
asunder in the government, any more
than in the church, in society or in the
home.
