G0I0qi.ins the Unemployed.

The prof .ct of the Salvation Army for colonizing the unemployed is one which
 may with great propriety receive the support of the community. It is one of the sad facts ot civilization that there are annually large number nf people
 born who are unable to take care of themselves. Unfortunately, many of the men who are thus afflicted marry and get families before they discover
 that they ought not to assume the duties of fatherhood. That this class is increas- ing with the increase of wealth and con- fort and the invention of labor saving machinery is also fact that need scarce ly he noted Strictly speaking, It may not be the duty of the prosperous classes to care for those who are improvident or incompetent, but the dictates of human. ity and proper regard for preserving the public peace require those who con- cern themselves with the amtlioration of the misfortunes of their fellow men 10 devote more or less attention to the con. ditions to which reference has been made.
 The proirct of the Salvation Army as outlined at the meeting of the mmittee which considered the subject on Tuesday includes not only providing unemployed men having families with work, but con- templates also putting them in a posi- tion where in few years they may ac- quire home. It is proposed, with the aid of Clans Spreckels, the sugar king, to situate nun oer of these families up- on lhe sug r beet lands of Monterey and San Luis Opispo counties. MT. Spreck- les says he will provide each family with sufficient land, tools and buildings to enable it's members to engage in raising sugar beets. This done, he will contract to take the product for ten years at 4$ per ton.
 At this latter figure it is estimated that an able-bodied man may earn home in hNO UT OLA yOdIo, UCol'sco III lu0 m6du- time feeding and maintaining his fam- ily in comparative comfort. It seems that lit'lA or no money is necessary to | carry out this scheme. Mir. Spreckels, | according to the reporter of a morning who has interviewed him, agrees 10 furnish he land necessary 10 start the enterprise. He does thls in or der to get his lands into sugar beets and avoid the responsibility and care of farm- ing them himself.
 The plan suggested ny Mir. Spreckela is in vogue in the Sandwich Islands, where much of the sugar cane is raised Dy private individuals and sold to the actorles.

Chs Itch t6 be Seen.

It is strange fancy which seizes some people whose highest delight seems to
 be reached when they can live their lives in full sight of the world. In what. ever they do they are literally possessed
 with the itch to be seen; to be conspic- uous. If they travel, it must be in the most evident manner. If they 20 to the country, only the most crowded places will answer. If they go to the theatre, the very acme of their happiness is at- tained when they can sit in a box. If they drive, it is invariaDly in the showiest turnout If they affect the bicycle, either in their dress or in the ornamen- tAtion of theIr machine they must be un- like other people. If they promenade, it. mu.t be along the most prominent thorouphfare. When they affect dress, it is invarianl to overdress. They must have the most conspicuous table in a hotel dining room; the best things on the bill of'fare are never good enough they must always have ex'ras. They must do somethIng that they may be singled out from other people. They must be in evidence or they are not hap py. And, oddly enough, too, the people of these proclivites are ever the ones who try to impress other people with the idea that they belong to an exalted station in life whereas thelr very actions never fail to place them where they really do belong. Their exact me asure is easily taken. It IS hard for such peo- pie to accept the fact that the quietest conduct is ever associated with true worth or genuine gentilty. It is only the vulgar class which faunts itself in the face of the public. A qniet dress, retiring manner, withholding of opin ion; these are the true marks of the well.bred woman. But quietness does not suit the woman who wishes to make herself conspicuous The woman who places herself in evidence does not real ize that she is being looked at askance as well, and by the very people whose goodly opinion she courts. Well-bred | women are like the the daintiest flowers; they grow in the shadest places. The violet never obtrudes. The lily of.the- | valley seeks the shadiesj nook And | who will say that these are not among i the sweetest of flowers? Nature is a | wonderful teacher when we study her aright. She has lessons for us all. The trouble is we do not heed the D. If we did we would be wiser. We would qnickly learn that the showiest flowers are not always the most fragrant. Mattress most delicate lace work she reserves for the woods; not for the showy garden of the millionaire. Her most beautiful ef- fects of shade and color she works out in the deepest forests. N iture has not the itch to be seen. And it would be we'll If some of our women were more like her. If they were they would them. selves be very much happier-and so would a great many other people, Ladies' Home Jnnrnal

At this moment thousands of men are
standing at the crossroads of life. Death
in the guise of foolish ambition coaxes
them to take one road, while health and
happiness in the form of wife and babies
coax them to take the other. For the sake
of a few added dollars will they continue to
over.work and neglect the commonest pre-.
cautions for the preservation of health, OF
will they listen to love and reason and draw
back before it is too late? A man may do
almost any amount of good, hard work If he
will take care of his health and when he
feels out of sorts will take the right remedy.
