Duties of a Wife n Home-m ~ kin.

Duties of a Wife in Home-makinK,
Virtues, like roses, have thorns that
protrude and promote discomfort, pierre
ing when and where you are unprepared
The virtue Of home making may be sadly
married in various ways, says the New
York Ledger. Every woman knows in
her inner consciousness to just what ex-
tent her home is burden. If she car
ried it on her shoulders, as Atlas did the
world, she is then battling with one of
the opposing forces which fate stations
at every corner Ostensibly to thwart her
designs. Home should be a haven Of
rest, a resort to which we may all repair
to escape the conflict and strife of the
outside wOrld: II should be place
where everything is free and every one
IN it should be individualized, and the
motto should be, Unity in diversity. .
Ea The woman who works about in the
peck measure of home all day, seeking
only the diversion which one duty acting
as a foil to another duty can furnish, is
on the wrong track. She is growing a
thorn on the rOseate virtue of home devO-
ton that will one day turn of itself and
prick her own fingers, and more than
likely pierce her tender heart. She will
feel pang when her children tell her she
is behind the times, for III the minds Of
the progressive young iconoclasts of the
family she has perhaps forgotten to graft
iHc luallty OF uuSelnSnneSS. h 1t won do
for the mother to be a monopolist in this
matter of unselfshness. ~
It is a demonstrable fact that the wom-
an who is thoroughly absorbed in her
home, living for a domestic system, chas-
ing up specks Of dust, plodding along like
"a pillow horse in groove is not the
woman who instil1s into her children the
greatest love of home. Self-sacrifice as a
maternal monopoly Is very thrifty
thorn on the virtue of home-mak king.
The mental, moral, physical and financial
slavery Of mothers to children is another
thorn There is distinction to be made
between devotion and slavery.
The mother. Of all persons, has the
least right to become self-centered. Con-
centration of thought and. energy is to d
certain degree necessary to the success
of the home, but that the mind Of the
mother be in 10 receptive state to outer
conditions and events is equally essential.
The home must reach out and allow its
sympathies to expand for the world needs
it. The circumscribed love which does
not penetrate beyond the four wills OF
home is a negative force which initiates
against the scheme Of llome-mak king.

THE DUTY OF MOTHERS.
Daughters Should be Carefully
Guided In Early Womanhood.

What suffering frequently results
from a mothers Ignorance; or more
frequently from u mothers neglect to
properly instruct her daughter!
Tradition says woman must suffer" q"
and young women are so taught.
There is little truth and great deal
of eXaggeration in this. If young
woman suffers severely she needs
treatment and her mother should see
that she gets it.
Many mothers hesitate to take their
daughters to q physician for examina-
ton; but no mother need hesitate to
write freely about her daughter or
herself to Mrs. Pinkham and secure
the most 'Aficient advice without
charge. Mrs. Pinkham's address is
Lynn, Mass.
The following letter from Miss MARIE
+. JOHNSON, ntralia, Pa shows what
neglect will do, and tells how Mrs.
Pinkham helped her:
My health became SO poor that I
had to leave school. Twas tired atl the
time, and had dreadful pains in my
side and back. 1 was also troubled
with irregularity of menses. / was
very weak, and lost SO much flesh that
my friends became alarmed. My
mother, who is firm believer in your
remedies from experience, thought per-
haps they might benefit me, and wrote
you for advice. followed the advice
you gave, and used Lydia e. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound and Liver Pills rs
you directed, and am now as we'll as I
ever was. have gained flesh and have
good color. am completely cured Of
irregularity."

Depopulatlon In France.

The returns of the census for France
which was taken in March. 1897, have
now been published and compared
with the statistics Of the previous cen.
sus. taken six years before A year
ago the number of people in France
was 3S,22S,969. and at the 1891 census
it was 3S,O95.150. so that in the six
years the population of France had
only increased 1880 persons. And
even this trlfling increase is more ap.
parent than real, for it has taken place
entirely in the large towns, and is due
to the influx Of foreigners, such ms
Belgians and Italians. who are to be
found in increasing numbers among
the urban populations of France.

House Holds Short Session.

The house was in session less than
half an hour when the deaths of Rep
resentative Northway, of Ohio, and
Love, of Mississippi, were announced,
and an adjournment was taken until
Wednesday out of respect to their
memory.
The report OF the Hawaiian COM
mission transmitted by the president
was laid before the house and referred
to the committee on territories, to-
gether with bill offered by Mr.. Hit
to carry out the recommendations of
the committee.
The preliminary portion of the re-
port of the Hawaiian commission is
mainly descriptive of the Hawaiian
islands, the inhabitants, the existing
institutions, the public domain, pro-
ductions, climate, harbors and ship
ping facilities, and various conditions
of general interest The remaining
portion is mainly devoted to discus
sion of the legislation proposed by the
commission giving in the appendix
the various reports of subcommittee
and copies of the bills suggested.
Three bills are formulated for the
consideration of congress-. The first
and principal one outlines general
plan Of government and the other two
deal with subordinate questions. OF
the main bill the commissioners ex-
press the opinion that it prove to be
''such measure for the government
of Hawaiian islands as will best pro-
mote the interests of their people at
the same time that it promotes the in
terests and maintains the sovereignty
of the people of the United States"
1t provides for the erection of the
islands into territory of the United
States, to be styled the territory of
Hawaii. The bill contains provisions
for the government of the territory,
giving it executive, legislative and
judicial officers. A governor, secretary
of the territory, United States dis
trict judge, United States district
attorney and United States marshal
are to be appointed by the president
and an internal revenue district and q
customs district are created.
Among the new bills introduced in
the house were the following:
By Mr.. Otey, of Virginja-To amend
the war revenue act by directing the
secretary of the treasury to redeem at
their face value all revenue stamps
sold and not cancelled.
BY Mr.. Skinner. of North Carolina

that Of Washington but not of the
Welsh or Pennsylvania coal. 1t might
better be characterized as q highly
carbonized Ignite likely to contain
as much sulphur as iron pyrites,
liable to spontaneous combustion and
injurious to boiler plates. Neverthe-
less, he says, when pyritous seams
are avoided and the Ignite Is proper
ly handled, it forms valuable fuel,
especially for local consumption.

RESOLUTION AGAINST EXPANSION

Senator Vests Makes +, rst Move In Pre-
dictcd Fight.
A Washington special says: The
first note of the anti-expansionists was
sounded in the senate Tuesday by
Senator Vest, of Missouri, who intro,
duced the following joint resoh
"That under the constitution df ene
United States no power is given to
the federal government to acquire
territory to be held and governed
permantly as colonies.
''The colonial system of European
nations cannot be established under
our present constitution, but all ter
ritory acquired by the government,
except such small amount as may be
necessary for coaling stations, correc-
tion of boundaries and similar gov
ernmental purposes, must be required
and governed with the purpose of nj
timately organizing such territory into
states suitable for admission into the
union"
A brief discussion of the navigation
laws was precipitated by the consider
alton of a bill amending those laws by
VIC "NioAeAoho Va %
built vessels wrecked in the United
States, purchased by citizens of this
country and repaired to the extent of
three-fourths of their value, shall be
subject to forfeiture if they engage
subsequently in the coastwise trade of
the United States.
Mr.. Vest, member of the commit
tee on commerce, expressed his oppo-
sition to the bill, principally because
it afforded protection to the coastwise
trade which needed no protection.
Our general carrying trade, Mr.. Vest
believed, needed protection.
Mr.. Caffery, of Louisiana, also q
member of the committee on COM
merce, opposed the bill. Finally it
was made a special order for Monday.
Mr.. Morrill, presented petition
from the legislature of Vermont, ask
ing for the revival of the grade of ad-
miral and recognition of Rear Admiral
Dewey; Mr.. Hale presented bill to
revive the grade of admiral and vice
admiral.
At 80 p. IN. the senate adjourned.
