seeing the church, is demonstrably

THE AMERICAN HOME.

have no mind to harrow up the
minds of my readers with any explica-

Portable existence for her family; as
for herself, an existence at all seems
a struggle which at times she would

But some hint of the unnatural and un-

and the work had not reacted upon
each other so that, to-day, women should
be by nature home makers and home
lovers, there are still depths for the
scientists to sound in the working of
heredity and of natural selection. And
yet-here is my second fact-the enor-
nous piles of stone and brick rapidly
filling the choice plots of ground in our
large cities and shutting out the light
of heaven with their gabled tops, are

the fact that the investment of capital

keener perceptions were superinten-

BOX. Zone of these changes would be
that the masculine element in the ac-

a superintendent, a competent assist

the ideal condition. The more woman

HE KEPT HIS SEAT.
Furthermore, He Explained Why He
Dfdn't Surrender 1t.

A little episode in a street car illus
trates peculiar condition of society in
the average American city. The car was
humming along through the upper part
of town. 1t was rainy night and the
car was filed. AT every street corner
women were crowding in, laden with
water-soaked bundles and all looking
more or less bedraggled and out OF
sorts. At Main and Mohawk streets a
smart-looking. well-dressed young
woman entered the car, and stood hang
ing to the straps. Directly in front Of
her sat sad-faced but very respecta-
Dle-looking young man. He looked up
at the young woman, but gave no indi-
cation that he intended to give his seat
to her. One by one the men had sur
rendered their seats to the women I'M
til only two or three men remained
sitting. Standing next to the smart
young woman was another young man,
evidently a man of position. who knew
her. As the car rushed along toward
Cold Spring the smart young woman
swung about on the straps and showed
signs of WEAKNESS. Still the young
man in front of her made no motion
toward surrendering his seat.
"Oh, I'm so tired; it seems as though
l would drop down." she said to the
young man standing by her side. OF
course. that was 100 much for her gal
liant friend. and. STOPPING over, he said
to the sad-faced young man sitting
down: MY friend, would you have the
kindness to give this young lady your
seat; she is very ti-ed?'
The sad-faced young man folded his
arms resolutely and replied: NO,
will not have the kindness TO give this
young woman my seat. Last Monday
she took my place in Blank &

Nor can any want of courage be laid
at the door of the gallant and sea-
soned sailors Of the SeTupiM. There waa
want of knowledge of the conditions
Of their enemy. Nor had Capt. Pearson,
Of the Scraps, dreamed of the Bon

would never have surrendered to foe

grave. But he made the very natural
mistake of supposiDg that vessel so

deeply chagrined man when he came
aboard the Bon Homme Richard and
saw the miserable shell of ship which
had conquered by mere invincible cour-
age. Many captains, in going into ac-
tion, proclaim that they will go to the
bottom before surrendering. Paul
Jones said nothing Of the kind; but his
conduct abundantly proves that he
meant it, and he came extremely near
doing it.
The Bon Homme Richard was the
flagship of q motley squadron, placed
ostensibly under the command of Paul
Jones by the French government in the
