II seems TO he the general verdict that even
when wealth and space permit of grand
affairs they are not after all as thoroughly
delightful as those smaller functions. where
:; few congenial spirits meet often.
,Ihere Is. of course, Il certain kind OF
pleasure in TIE elaborate luncheon or din

Real Superiority.

1t is the first duty of every woman to
recognize the mutual bond of universal
wOmaThood. Let her ask herself whether
she would like to hear herself or her sis
ter spoken of as a shop girl or a factory
girl or u servant girl, if necessity had COM
one of the ways indicated. If she would
shrink from il a little. then she is n little
inhuman when she puts her unknown hu-
class by themselves. feeling herself to be
somewhat their superior. She is really the
superior person who has accepted her work,
and is doing il faithfully. whatever ii is.
This designating others by their casual en-
ployment prevents one from making real
distinctions. from knowing persons as per-
sons. \ false standard is set UP in the
minds of those who classify and of those
who are classified.

The TOiIer.

Behold him pass thro' tranquil fields.
While twilight shadows round him lie:
Though bowed and burdened, yet he Yields
Grace to yon gracious sky.
The grace OF simple tasks we'll done,
That regal human grace is his;
Slow steps he home at set of sun,
Nor knows how great he is.
Beside him goes his little lass
Singing. nor deems the day too long;

TRANSFORMATIONS CONTRACT.


One might safely Judge from the err
forts OF some Of the enterprising New
York correspondents that the Spanish
transatlantic Company worked the
most palpable sort of Il rabbits foot
scheme off on the Navy Department in
securing the contract for transporting
the Spanish prisoners captured at SAN
tiago back to Spain. In order to be-
lieve this. however one must take it.
for granted that the powers that be In
one of the most important branches OF
the government service are Gno-
rant OF the rudimentary principles Of
their business. We prefer to believe
the statements given OUT by the Navy
Department to the effect that he Situn-
ton was thoroughly understood ana
that The Spanish company secured no
undue advantage over the Americon
government. AS Il matter of fact, q
common sense view of the subject
seems 10 strengthen this statement, ana
since the contract furnishes an excel
lent way out of the difficulty of trans-
porting the Spaniards we think the
Navy Department is to be conSratu-
lated upon accepting he proposition
instead Of being abused on the ground
that il has been the victim Of sharp
practice.
No good could have been accom-
plished by keeping the Spanish ships
in neutral ports. and if they are VIII.
ling to carry The prisoners back at a
reduced price in order to release their
ships from danger of capture. no one
is injured by the proposition, and IN
Gle Sam is several thousand dollars In
No doubt the animus of the whole
agitation against the Navy Department
is found in the jealousy and envy oi
some steamship company that failed t.
secure the contract.
