Mental Confusion.

patronizingly calls him, has sailed bis
little bark through the oce'n of lie
we have sailed it with him, sometimes
steering him safely in rough waters ard
sometimes upsetting the boat. The riost
lamonts bic consequence of this mental
confusion is a tendency tn look after
man rather than to look after ourselves,
to help him to do his work, for which
assistance he is most ungratofpl, rather
than map out distinctly Your OWL

GUS efforts of s.eform upon tire past fail

to merit plenty Of attention. -

Women on School boards.

The women teachers of Brooklyn and
several influential societies interested III
educational work are making strenuous
efforts to secure the reappointment CT
the five women members CT the board CT

1900 teachers has been secured, and
both President Swanstrom OF the local

Tho stock Of American flags has been

YALE'S MOUNTED BATTERY.


Plans Completed to Send battalion of
175 Men to tho Front.
The Yale Alumni Weekly recently
announced tho completed plans for the
mounted battery which is in process Of
enlistment at Yale. Two undergradu-
ates. Messrs Parkhurst and Chapel,
have been to Washington and Hartford
to consult with the national and state
authorities and get their advice and ap.
proval. They have met with success. In
consequence Of the advice received by
them the plan to form a machine gun
battery has been changed to one contem.
plating horse battery. 1t will be re-.
membered that as soon as 1t became ap.
parent that there would be a fight with
Spain the leading Yale seniors met and
asked Washington what sort of addi.
tions the army most needed and where
the hottest work would be found. The
decision to enlist battery followed i'm
mediately on thu answer.
AS now arranged, the battery will
consist Of 175 men. with an armament
of six 8 4 inch guns. Instead Of restrict.
ing enlistments to scientific and aoa-
demio seniors the rolls have been thrown
open to all undergraduates and gradu.
ates of few years standing. BY thus
increasing the number Of those eligible
it is hoped to raise the standard Of phys.
ical fitness. Seasoned athletes who have
fought fW Yale on the athletic field
will, 1t is believed, make the best kind
of fierce and disciplined fighters. As
soon MS possible the new battery will
be transported to Chattanooga and thon

A Rclieious JOurnal's Criticism.

Under the caption Of "Hlew the
Line" The Central Presbyterian Of
Richmond in a leading editorial says
The reader is aware Of the revolution
now in progress by which the female
sex is simultaneously advanced to great
err dignity and usefulness and urged In
to positions and occupations for which
they have been hitherto deemed dis
qualified by nature. We confess our
painful apprehension that the latter in.
novation may tend to deprive the f>ni-
nine element of society Of ccrtgn quail
ities designed for the highest good Of
the race The most brutal Of men know
we'll that there are two different spheres
of activity intended for the sexes and a
line drawn by creation that Garnet bo
obliterated without great clillce.
The savage does not train his daye hters
to the use Of arms as he does his sens.
The physiological and aratomist rc.i1t
out differences Of bone and muscle that
qualify the male physique for labors
and exertions more severe than those of
his consort. There is certain delicate
difference Of structure and endowment
that marks off the woman from the nan
and indicates q diffortroe in her dGtios
that cannot DO neglected with impuui-
ty.
The word of God recognizes this tyuth
and requires us to preserve it. ! ho only
question relates to its significance. 1t is
daily impressed upon MS that the exist
ing confusion is rendering it LEES AID
less distinct, and that while the women
Of our time arc properly admitted tc

BANGLES For tho Ankles.

There is a new fad abroad in the way
of betrothnl gifts-new and novel, and
one whose origin it vould be hard to
trace, unless we 60 far a. into the
customs Of the orient and theyo find it's
prototype. The proper way TO seal n
betrothal compact now is to give a ban
gle, hut not Just an ordinary bangle to
slip up and down the arnl-not the old
faehioned, commonplace bangle which
is fastened with a pretty lock, the key
to which is carried next the heart, but
gold or silver largle just large
enough to slip up and down the ankle,
fastened with little lock.
This is the latest, the very latest, and
newest fad. The bangle may be Of gold
or silver, just as the donor S pocketbook
will allow, and the little lock which
fastens it must be secured by gold or
silver key.
The origin of the fad can only he
found in the east, where bracelets and
bangles are as common On the ankles as
Oh the wrists Every one who has read
"Salammbo' remembers the delicate,
dainty, golden cirolets which clasped
her pretty ankles, only that Salammbo's
We're chained SO that her feet could only
step just so far and no farther.
The bangle must be loose enough to
allow the stocking to lie taken off and
put Gu without removing the circlct. 1t
must be tight enough to le kept in
place above the shoe top, and L any but
ton the top button of high shoe over
the baub!e to keep it in place.
II may prove an Inconvenience with
low shoe or slipper, but what girl
would not put up with the slight dis
comfort CT having her pretty bangle
Sip down SO that it shows little just
to prove to another girl that she has a
sweetheart and bangle, Ct which he
carries the key?-New York Herald.

The WhcelWCman's Skirt.

Addressing athletic women in The
Ladies Home journal. Edward ". Box
has some sensible suggestions regarding
their costumes, and presents them very
forcihly. 1--WE need only to look at some
Of the WEGelwomen who ride over our
reads and through our streets with
skirts too short for we'll grown child
of IL years to see how far and to what
a vulgar extent this abuse has Ecen car
1icd, - he says. Ger woman to he
comfortable at her athletics she must
have skirt shorter than that " hich she
wears Gu the street or in the house,
but this does not mean that size should
don garment SO scant as to leave her
limbs exposed. 1t is sad enough when
we see very young girl in these abbre-
waited athletic skirts, but at least VIC
can attribute it to a youthful indiscre-
tion. But when married woman so far
fOrgets herself, her years and her sex as
to parade before the eyes Of men in the
short skirts which many of them affect
the sight is nothing short Of disgusting.
"Evtn more to DO condemned is tie
custom which some women have adopt
cd Of tonnipg shorG skirts as 4 regula-
tion morning or afternoon dress. when
they really have nc thought Of stAlotics.
Too ofttn is it the case that wc.ltn in
these abbreviated skirts enter p1blic
dining rooms Or lcll around yarantns in
unwoThnly attitudes, Thee is no mere
excuse fer woman to car in pub
lie dining room in an athletic costume
than there is for Ecr to appear TT break
fast il a Gecollcte gcWn or at the dinner
table in a riding habit"

The Position of Spanish Yemen.

II am not going to hoist the banner
of the intellectual superiority CT the
woman or proclaim even the equality
of the sexes in that respect, says I4enora
de Belmont in The Revista Contempo-
yanea. "We are bound to acknowledge
that there have at all times been WON
oil who were superior to most men. hut
we must also confess that very few
have reached the position attained by
the most eminent men in science, liter
ature or art, and even those rev have
only followed In tho wake Of man. But
assuming that feminine intelligence is
really less vigorous than mans, it ia
nevertheless worthy Of being taken into
consideration, for women have proved
that they can all high position not
only in art and literature, but also in
science and philosophy.
"Regarded as incapable Of perform
ing work requiring intelligence and in.
dependent action, the Spanish woman
is brought up with the idea that frivol-
ity is one Of her most powerful attrac-
tons and that ignorance and absolute
dependence ore the qualities nct eFsnry

Tucks, Rows of Tucl1s.

The finest of fine art enters into the
tuoking of thin materials. Rows of
tucks scarcely more than all eighth of
an inch wide are run or stitched into
the material, which is then carefully
spongod and pressed so that these tuclzs
are perfectly flat. Then the failic is
folded diaRonally, crosswise or slightly
curved and pressed to start the first
tuck. This piece is put into he machine,
and tuck after tuck is stitched in. Lven
navy lines are made, something that in
the days of our grandmothers would
have been deemed impossible.-New
