Tell the Truth.

is there on earth that is meaner than a

a liar? If you cannot depend on what

but when he will lie II is hard to do any,
thing with him. There seems to be no
bottom or foundation to a liar, and when
men lie we never know where to build or
what to depend upon. This is one of the
worst things about drinking men. They
will lie. Who ever saw a drunkard who1e

The Longevity Of Woman.

Baltimore Sun. A report from the
office of the registrar general of Eng
land shows that there are more female
people 225 women reach the age of 100
years. while only 50 men round out the
century. Now, the great conundrum
which is proposed is, Why is this so?
According TO the popular superstition,
1t takes much longer for the women to
reach even the age of so than it takes
for a man to reach that age. If this is
true. it makes the showing all the more
remarka BILE. 1t has even been asserted
that association with women makes a
man live longer, as shown by the fact
that the average life of the married
man is longer than the average life of
the single man. The fact, however, is
denied by the endman at the MINISTRIES.
who says that the life of the married
man is not really longer, but only
seems so.
So far there is no satisfactory expla-
nation of the original proposition why
more women live to be a hundred.
Some say it is because women are less
addicted to tobacco and strong drink,
others say that it is because it is more
healthy to spend money than it is to
earn it, and so on. 1t may be many of
the men who would live to be a hun
dred are killed at an early age in
casualties TO which women are not ex-
posed. 1t may be that tight lacing is a
life preserver, and it may be not a. fact,
after all. Possibly the English registrar
general may be mistaken. The situa-
ton is replete with possibilities.

GIRLS At The OAR.
CornePs Female Athletes Can Row Mile in Seven Minutes


ithaca, n. Y, May 1.-the girl stu
dents at Cornell are determined to
achieve wonders this year in the row.
ing line. and Sage college now has a
irst-class crew of eight muscular young
women who are training just as assid-
uously as the varsity crews of Harvard
or Yale. The Cornell girls hope to meet
the famous crew of the Wellesley COL
1ege in a regular intercollegiate con-
test, and, if possible, beat them.
Coxswain Colson of the regular var
sity crew has been coaching the girls
for months past, on rowing machines,
and now he has taken charge of their
work on the lake, where he gives them
an hours training every fair day in
the week
The Cor lell girls have been dabbling
in rowing for three years, but this is
the first season that they have made
a serious effort to accomplish some
thing. They have not yet established
q, training table, as the need of spec
ial diet has not yet been felt, but this
is only a question of time, as the
athletic work which now forms a con-
siderable part of the routine of the col
lege girl is steadily making her taller
and heavier, and the day must come
when it Will be necessary to restrain
uSI luSIc.tSlHS Dulk, just as the train
ers of the men crews do, work to re-
place fat with muscle.
The Cornell crew is now composed of
Miss Dunning, bow; Miss Jewell Miss
McNary, captain; Miss Whipple, Miss
Kellar, Miss Wait, Miss Whipple,
rtrOke; and Coxswains Miss Young and
Miss Rhodes. The weight of the crew
ranges from $50 to $50 pounds, the aver
age being about las pounds, and not
an ounce of fat in the boat as one
terribly earnest young woman ex-
pressed it,
Speaking of the possibilities of a
race with the Wellesley crew, the
same student said: 1T would mark
an epoch in the sports of college girls.
Heretofore all the games have been
between different classes of the same
college, but these competitions lack
the zest and excitement attending a
contest between colleges. Such a con-
test would certainly provoke a spirit
OF rivalry, and every student would do
her level best to force her college into
first place Athletics would become
more of a serious business than they
are today, when most of the girls
just take them up as matter of
course and not with the determined
purpose of accomplishing something.
If we do have a race. l don't think
1t would be for more than a mile, as

personally to all civic duties with which

Wealth Does Not Give Happiness.

Two things ought to be strongly i'm
pressed upon the young people of our
country. The insecurity of riches even
when acquired and their unsatisfying
character. There is no fallacy SO uni
Versally cherished rs the notion that
wealth IS surely a means of happiness
The care of large property is one of
the most burdensome of earths trusts
The only material good which comes from
any estate is to be made out of a nod
crate income far more easily than a large
one and with fewer attendant dad
vantages. Few thoughtful men would
undergo the entire stewardship of a large
estate on q positive bargain that they
would receive no more for taking care of
it than ordinarily falls into the lap of the
owner. The scramble after wealth is due
to wrong estimate of it when it is
gained.

but she is strongly opposed to all kinds
of severe contests. and for that reason
it is quite possible that if the Cornell
girls, issue a challenge it will be po-
litely declined.
Miss Hill believes that the present
