IN the March Ladies' Home Journal Ed
,.,d w. Box writes of the fast" man,
and the duties of fathers to their daugh-
,srs in placing him where he belongs and
Qsrning them against him. Mr.. Box be-
gves that if it is said of a man that 'he
has seen the world" in other words, is
fast" there is instantly singular CLAM
cr about him in the eyes of young girls
girls as good and pure as were ever

gch a man, and there are girls for whom
anger, even of this sort, has singular
hscnation 1.-THE girls know that these
men are bad. But so long as they respect
ne and treat me as a lady where's the

scaled to account for her company.
aAs a matter of fact, the exact things
which a man does to earn the reputation
d being fast are neither known nor
dsamed Of by the girls for whom such
reputation has this glamour. The trou-
Ne lies in the fact that our girls are
fought up under a system which hest
htes to call a spade by its right name.
We are afraid of offending or of shock

As in reality, we make the greater mis-

mr girls, but there is limit, a point
EWhich discretion becomes a crime. And
hat point has been reached when girls
are allowed to know and associate with
such men all unconscious of the danger.
When every mother or father, or person
With whom the duty may rest, classes

bitter for our girls. 1t is high time that

The uarem In the Orient,

Captain j. w. Gambler, royal navy
who has seen much Of eastern life. believes
In the haTem as best suited to the follow
ers of Islam. In The Fortnightly Review
he thus cites the past
Perhaps the most illogical attack of
Christendom against Islam Is as to the
continuance of the institution of the ha-
rem, that institution which is literally a
red rag to bull to us. Certain things are
inherently true of themselves, and one
might be disposed to imagine that the
morality of the OmnipOtent would be one
of these, would be a question not admit
ting of dispute, infexible and eternal,
The moral laws are very few, and lying lin
all It's branches), theft, murder and adul-
terry would seem to embrace them all
But the Christian convicts his Creator
Of having had the laxest views as regards
the last at one period-David, Solomon,
and so forth-by laying his finger on this
very institution in the religion of Moham-
med as the one convincing evidence of it's
damnable wickedness. 1t seems never to
occur to the Christian that the Omnipotent
is under no immediate obligation to blow
hot and cold to suit him. The system of
the harem is admirably suited to oriental
nature, as 1t Is at present, and is an i'm
mense advance on that of Nicolas, COM
panion of Jesus, and one of the seven first
deacons of Jerusalem, who preached the
community of women. The court of any
Biblical king was very much the same as
that of Abdul Aziz, and there Is not much
to choose between Ahab and A bdul Hamid
hundreds of women guarded by eunuchs,
court parasites, dancers and all the usual
accomplishments of eastern life; all power
and wealth concentrated In the hands of
timid, weak monarch; thousands Of poor
wretches starving in countries desolated
by war, and so forth.

Speed of Suburban Trains.

In EAST Trains and Business Policy"
Colonel II. G. Prout, in The Engineering
Magazine, thus explains the double advan-
tages gained by rapid service:
1t Is obvious that, as increased speed Of
suburban trains adds to the wealth and to
the comfort of mankind, so 1t will add to
the revenues of the railroads themselves,
and 1t is obvious that, other things being
nearly equal, the railroad that gives tho
fastest service will be preferred by subur-
ban residents The result is rapid develop
ment of its suburbs and its suburban bust
ness. A thin suburban traffic is bad busi
ness. It Is done ut loss to tho railroad
and Is unsatisfactory to the commuter and
the service must, In the nature of things,
be poor. A dense suburban business Is
probably profitable. 1t Is easily handled,
considering its volume, and Is likely to be
as nearly satisfactory to the commuter as
IL can be made. But have yet to know
more than about dozen satisfied commu-
tiers, and my knowledge of them Is extend
ed.
A characteristic instance Of the increase
OF suburban speed and of It's effect comes
from one of the big railroads entering Chi
cago. In eight years the average speed rose
from about 90 miles to about 80 miles an
hour, and In that time the volume of the
suburban business more than doubled, but
"the increase is certainly not due entirely
to improved train service; more largely to
other conditions.

WIDOWS PREFERRED.
They Frequently Make Better Wives the
Second Time.

They Frequently Make Better Wives the
Second Time.
"There are many characteristics of wild
ows," says an observant writer of the mas
culine persuasion recently, (which make
them really preferable as wives. They are
not so exacting for one thing. Their first
plunge, II it has taught them anything,
has taught them to be forbearing. Besides
they are not so detestably romantic If
they drop their gloves In the street, they
pick them up without any fuss and do not
wait for you to bend your knees to them.
And--a very strong poipt-they know
what men are and don't have to learn
their lessons with sad tears and sighs
They are not so prone to be extravaganza
either-another excellent feather in their
mature caps. In short, if you marry, don't
pass over the widows as IL they were just
the alloy of humanity"
There Is great deal of common sense
In this. Even in wooing widow man
Is sure to be saved much trouble The
dear lady can meet him half way without
any sacrifice of modesty. This, to hum
BILE minded bachelor, is much. She is,
moreover, nearly sure to be quicker of in
telligence than the average unmarried girl.
Again, marriage often changes a young
woman in the most alarming manner.
The pretty, blushing girl of one year is
often hardly recognizable in the assuming,
naughty young matron of year later
She doesn't show half so attractively as q
full blown flower as she did in the bud
The number of men who have thus we'd
ded only to be disillusionedl You can tell
some Of them by the wrinkles In their
foreheads within q year of two after their
marriage or by the otherwise inexplicable
habit of taciturnity that they acquire.
One may form a tolerable idea of wild
ow's merits In some respects by her de-
meanor early in her widowhood. Tact is
the supremacy useful quality in the aver
age widow. IN the long run 1t is better
than beauty In a wife; better even than
money. BY 1t woman may guide her
husband toward happiness while minister
ing to the harmless pride in him which
makes him think he is doing it himself -

most important instrument In the observa-
tory, and one of the most interesting.
1t consists of large telescope, the out
side of which is not unlike great cannon.
as 1t Is of solid iron. This instrument Is
supported by trunnions, which allow the
telescope to be elevated or depressed, to
point north or south, and, In fact, to make
q complete revolution, but never to diverge
from the north and south line. The mag
nifying power of this instrument is not
very great, but its field of view is large
so that 1t admits plenty of light, for it Is
not intended as a searcher after or gazer
at celestial objects, but for noting the ex-
act time at which stars and planets pass
south and north Of Greenwich.
Upon looking through this telescope the
Observers eye Is first arrested by a vertical
row OF what seem to be iron bars placed
at equal distances from each other. They
are, however, neither more nor less than
spiders webs, the center one, passing
through the focus of the object glass, be.

BY observing the time at which tho
O'clock stars pass over the web lines, or

strument has to be extremely exact in or

of very thin paper was placed under the

means the error was corrected. This will
give some idea Of the delcacy of adjust

from $500 TO $3.50 each. Other beautiful

on the Volga river, prices ranging from
$40 to Sl25, the light colored as low as S15.
These prices embrace all grades of natural

Prices range from So TO $50 for the very

son bay sable and pine marten skins are
blended to initiate the genuine dark color
ed Russian sable The work Is so skill
fully done that it takes good Judge TO de-

furs, the blended sables will not hold their

America surpasses all other countries In

Russia supplies ermine, silver fox, Rus
