July Lippincott's. If women become
mems intellectual equals whilst re-
tanning their moral superiority, a Sc
rious competition must be established,
in which the ~non-smoking, non-drink-

ploye must survive as the ittest in
the struggle for existence. On the
whole, however, the close contact in
which men and women are brought
through education and co-eXertion is
beneficial to both. 1t adds to woman's
strength, clearness Of judgment and
business capacity. whilst by increasing

Pessimists have claimed that the new

acquired fields must lose the %chivalrous
attentions granted to her grandmoth-

depend upon each other for love and
happiness there need be no fear of
that. Indeed, such a fear would imply
that modern man has stood still when
woman has progressed. Such a
thought cannot be entertained. Man is

1t is nice to have a house all books
and flowers and sunshine, but one Of
the most charming features of a home
is Its open fireplace" says Maud
Ames, in the current number of What
to Eat. Il should like to tell you of
a very original and delightfully."- gotten
up mantel and overmantel. To begin
with, there was simply the square iron
crate set in the opening, then a
wooden shelf was placed above on two
strong iron brackets, which had gath
cred valance across the top, and a cur
tain to the floor at each end, of a soft,
10y, old-rose material. Above this
again were placed two strongly made
shelves filled with books and a brass
rod at the top with two odd Turkish
squares for curtains drawn back at
either end. With branching brass can
delabra screwed in the ends of the
shelves and a few odd INC inexpensive
pieces Of bric-a-brac on the top, one
has a very beautiful and inexpensive
mantel. A very pretty decoration for
a mantel is a black Irvine tennis net.
A double net is so long there is plenty
of it with which to make an artistic
arrangement. On a tinted wall it is
very effective. Catch it below and on
the picture molding straight across the
face of the mantel and let fall to the
foor at one side, then up and along the
wall, say to a corner where there could
be a divan, with this caught about over
small iron rods for a canopy. With
the addition of a black iron lantern
hung some place near, either from an
iron bracket or the ceiling, the effect
is most pleasing. The pictures can
be hung beneath it or on it, or the net
caught on the top so they show, or in
any way that suits what one has best.
Instead Of having a house a perfectly
~bewildering assortment of bric-a-brac
and furniture, it is better to have a few
good bronzes, a bit Of porcelain, a Ian
tern, some candelabra, a teak-wood
chair, a corner with cushions where
one can drink tea and eat little cakes
with ones friends, and not be afraid
Of walking about for fear of knocking
over a table or a fragile chair"

Operator Killed By Ii~htnIpp

r. c. Richards, an operator and line
a for the Postal Telegraph at Gal
lup, N. NJ, was killed by lightning the
other day at McCarthy's station. He
was perched on a pole testing a wire
and talking to the wire chief at AIbu-
querGue when he was struck, the shock
knocking him off the pole and killing
him instantly. The bolt was a heavy
one, felt the entire length of the wires
from Albuquerque to Los Angeles.

Monopoly, whether private or gov
ernmental, obstructs the line Of least
resistance and thereby forces men to
seek the satisfaction Of their desires,
selfish and unselfish, with greater in
stead OF least eXertion. But all that
would be changed by abolishing mo-
nopoly in every vocation in which it is
not a necessary condition, and private
monopoly altogether. Unnecessary OBJ
structionscalong the line of least eco
nomic resistance would be thereby re-
moved and each man would acquire full
economic freedom to satisfy his own
desires in the way that seemed easiest
to him. The only restraint upon this
natural impulse of his would be the
equal economic freedom of every one
else. And that would lie restraint
enough. He would then cooperate with

Two stocks which recently have attracted much
attention Louisville and Nashville and Ten
nessee Coal and Iron. The earnings OF both COM
ma MES have been large. II is pointed out that the
prosperity Of the Tennessee Coal and Iron d.
rectly benefits the Louisville and Nashville Rail-
road as the latter hauls the freight TO and from
the Tennessee Coal and Irons furnaces and like
wise about thirty other iron furnaces. The pro-
duction of iron coal and coke In Louisville and
Nashville territory is enormous, and trade re-
norris show that IL Is steadily increasing. The new
Steel plant at Ensey will swell the volume OF
freight on this road by, 1t is estimated. thousand

Besides this Louisville and Nashville carries con-
siderable wheat and corn. a large sugar crop part
Of the rice crop and the Kentucky tobacco crop.
The road does heavy business in cotton in the
last four months Of the calendar year, which are
always the heaviest months for traffic In the year.
