He was 50 years old,
A school has been organized 10 Gin,
cinnatl to teach young ladies how to
market. It's aim is to tell them how to
distinguish pure from aduIterated
goods; when certain fruits and vegeta-
bles are in market, and the time to buy
them when the are choicest, cheapest
and most wholesome; the choice cuts
OF beef and other meats, 10 short, teach
them the science OF domestic economy.
A young lady in Cincinnati will hardly
consider herself a woman in the sense
that word would imply II she has pot
a thorough knowledge Of domestic
economics. The idea is q good one,
and possibly some other study could be
dropped In our schools and this one
substituted to the advantage Of the
pupils and the good health and nerves
of the future generation.
The ladies are developing some very
sensible tastes as are shown in the re-
cent numbers of tho fashion magazine.
The dress is now assuming y piainness
that shows elevation Of the intellect,
and the wide sleeves and other mon
str jsities in dress that made women
appear dOwdy are OF the past. The
savage delights In bright things, vain
ornaments and gewgaWs, so does the
child. But as both grow to fullness Of
sense and reason, simplicity Of dress
and manners characterize them. We
can't say so much in favor of the new
styles for men, especially the dressing
of the hair. Long hair, with central
parts, falling in ringlets over the collar
are vogue. There will soon be ruffles
on the bottoms OF their paRties, and
lace and frills and tucks around their
vests and collars, and, perhaps, velvet
coats. They are eleyating backwards.
1t is reported that the end Is In sight
in the war in the Philippines. This, II
true, will cause gladness to leap into
thousands Of hearts ali over the world,
especially throughout the western
states. War at best is but iustiHable
homicide; an evil that must sometimes
be tolerated. We think that no right
minded person takes delight In war,
In carnage, the Held of battle, the kill
ing and manning Of his fellow man.
AS we look upon the murder Of our
fellOwman with adherence. and IN
civil life only justify the destruction of
human life when done in the protec.
ton Of life or property, so should we
look on war. The FilipinOs, while
having different cOlOred pigment cells
under their skins, are nevertheless our
brothers. They haveIthe same feelings,
the same aspirations. the same pas
siOnS, but their surroundings have
been different, and their opportunities
of self development have not been such
as ours. Stin they are human, and be-
ing human their rights ard their feel
ings should be respected. God grant
that the war may soon end.
A st. Louis, Missouri, Judge has de-
cIded that under certain conditions a
man is justified in lambasting his wife.
For instance, when q wife contradicts
or attempts to thWaft her husbands
will In the presence of the children and
setting them q bad example, which he
has q right to rebuke. Now, let us
suppose a case. Suppose the husband
wills good and hard that his wife shall
get up of cold, winter morning and
build the fire, and he makes his will
manifest In tones loud enough to wake
up the children. Now, II she refuses
she will set the children a bad example
teach them, in fact, by her example, t
disObey the express will Of the father
And the wife refuses to obey his will
sets "a bad example" "thwarts th'
husbands will in the presence Of The
children" would he not, under this de-
Cision, be entitled to smash his wife IL
the near OpticP Suppose the children
are out playing In the back yard, and
the husband wills that the wife shall
carry in the coal and water, and sh'
refuses, has he not perfect right, un
der this decision, to get fOur.year-ol'
club and make the old lady get hus
tie on herselfP ALE same se-quaw!
