Root Of the Evil r In Parental Indul'

One Of the saddest features Of pres

settle soon after their school days are
finished, says the Philadelphia Times.
AT Is or IS they have been. eYegyxhere,
seen everything. Possessed whatever
their desires have prompted, and Just
when life should be most filled with
beautiful promises they are hopelessly
stranded on the barren shores Of indif-
ference. The root Of this evil 10 to
be found in paternal indulgence. The
American father and mother work
hard, saving all they can, denying
themselves luxuries and ofttimea neces-
saries as wcll, that their daughter may
revel In that which they have never
taken the time or the means to enjoy.
From her earliest infancy the girl finds
that her lightest wish is to be graft
ned IL It is possible, regardless Of the
fact that what she desires may not BE-
becoming to her age or to her condi-
ton Of life. That she wants 1t is all
that the parents consider. 30 that when
the time comes that such qualification
would have some significance she is
past enjoying 1t. She has nothing to
look forward to, she is surfeited, and
should she marry, her husband will
and this ennui the greatest bar to their
domestic happiness. A little more de.

frocks, simple pleasures up to the time
Of her debut, should be the rule, when
the delight Of new sensations will more
than compensate for the doing without
that which has marked her pathway up
to that time.

Both men were buried al sea.
From the statements of other passenge
it is learned that the agent of the ship

provisions on the way down. They were
charged $50 for their passage. When they

There was plenty of flour, but the water
was short. Four days ago the last I'M
