Two AudacIous Observation-Disclosures.

Vienna has been astonished lately by
some daring steeple chasing. A steeple
jack celebrated the beginning Of the
festivities for Emperor Francis Joseph's
jubilee by climbing in the night to the
top of one of the steeples of the Votive
church, 500 feet from the ground, by
means, of the lightning rods and archi-

Now it must be admitted on common
sense principles that the formation of
hereditary societies has reached nat
ural limit, and it is time to cry halt.
The reasonable conclusion is that these
societies should unite in work, if not in
organization, and justify their existence
by practical deeds. The end however,
is apparently not yet. The ancestor
quest drives its followers to absurd
lengths. Forefathers conjured up rise
from the genealogical caldron in sort
of harlequin procession-the ancestor i'll
buff and blue, the ancestor in scarlet
tunic, the bewigged ancestor, the jack
booted ancestor, until from the dim
twilight of heraldic tradition the crown
ed ancestor looms up in the shadow. Is
there not something decidedly incon-
gruous in the spectacle of descendants of
those who babe defiance to the third
George of the name seeking to establish
kinship with royalty through Saxon
chief or Norman freebooter? Does not
this latest departure tend to prove that
ancestor hunting has no limit, that it
Is simply question of enterprise, re.
search and credulity? If we may estab-
lish the Order of the Crown, why may
we not in due course welcome a new
hereditary society, lineal descendants of

The Broad Minded Woman.

1.-The earnest woman who takes life
very seriously, carefully weighing the
motive of the slightest act, is apt to be-
come impatient with her sister who
lives as the flowers do, accepting with
delight the sunlight of prosperity, ]"
says Mary R. Baldwin in The Woman g
Home Companion in the course of an
article entitled "A Sort of Contempt. !"
cit has been something of fashion
to imagine that the contempt was on
the side Of the woman who held what
are called the advantages of life but it
is really true that those who have been
given wealth, position and opportunl
ties are more guilty Of regarding their
fellow creatures less favored with scorn
than those who are below them. Among
broad minded women socialistic tenden
oies are being stamped out. Their hands
are no longer against what we call the
upper class of society. Equality means
to them common right to develop the
best that il i'll them, not a community
of privilege in the worlds goods, not
the opportunity for like service. nor
the same sort of pleasure, and the one
who has learned to realize the worth of
a separate individuality and feels that
her work is part of her birthrlght Is
truly philosopher. She will not envy
the careless creature whose lot has been
cast amid the entertainments of the
world She will rather pity her that
she is emancipated from those struggles
and perplexities which are such excel
lent schoolmasters in teaching sympa
thy for others.
But after all are we sure that the
majority of favored women do not pos
sess the larger significance of pity: So
many times we have had proofs that a
soft heart dwelt in an elegantly attired
body that it is not wise to conclude
that one must feel the stress of poverty
and its limitations i'll order to extend
pity and help to the needy.
