What do They Offer Instead

While the Filipino leaders are asking
for peace, after having resisted for
three months the authority OF the gov
eminent which drove from their country
the tyrannical power OF Spain. against
which they had been fighting for years,
and which brought them promise Of the
civil liberty. for which they had con-

American Women Lack Soul

Miss Edith Young, writing in the London
Lady's Realm, comments at length on the
American woman, prasing her cleverness,
dalntiness and good looks She gives es-
pecial praise to that trait in American
women which is not so often commented
upon-her domesticity and housewifely abil-
ity. But Miss Young concludes her remarks
with the frank statement that American
women are lacking in soul" She says:
"Chief among the accomplishments of the
American woman is her talent for house
keeping. The uncertainty in securing ser
Vants-for IN Amerlta anything may be had
for money, but good servant last of all
and probably the influence of hard working
ancestry have had their effects An Ameri-
can woman, with the exception of very mon
eyed American women, can run her house
without help if she needs to, and runs it
so we'll that one cannot always credit there
is no retinue of servants behind. She keeps
her house bright and beautiful, but not at the
expense of her personal appearance, she al
ways being neatly and prettily dressed
whatever she does.'
Her house is most conveniently appointed
for the saving of labor and useless drudgery
the reason being that the prevailing stub
bcrnness of servants in trying new appli-
anceS has small weight lii country where
brainy women have So often to do their own
housework, and naturally chose the hest
ways of accomplishing it.
1T would be a revelation to some ardent
English housewives to know that the ladies
one meets at an afternoon whist party in
America, VINO have a club meeting for every
day in the week, OF who lounge on their
piazza hammocks as though life were one
Ions holiday, and who are all animation and
vivlcity, have now and again, perhaps all the
time, been doing homework of a kind we
should have two or more servants for in this
country, getting up In the small hours to
cook their elaborate breakfasts of hot bread
and various Indispensable Dishes and later
making cakes. candies and dainty stuffs be-
side the real meals of the day.
From her attributes of beauty, liveliness
and accomplishment, might infer the
American woman perfect. were it not that,
putting aside all her faults and taking her at
her best there is still something wanting.
Neither good looks nor cleverness nor sound
common sense constitutes genius daintiness
and prettlness do not constitute art, and one
may have all talent and all means of edu-
eating ones self and yet be destitute of that
sympathetic feeling for things which we call
SOUL
One finds ones self wondering if Miss
Young is an American or does she write sim
ply from an English standpoint The con-
clusion leans rather to the latter opinion.

walls and new columns, massive, ornate,
stately even in their heaped confusion. This
is the Temple of Sun, relic of pagan wor-
ship that has looked unmoved on the birth
and death of dynasties and faiths Led as
by some enchantment, we pass through the
grove whose dark avenues, overgroWn with
weeds, have echoed with the shrieks of the
victims of Baal. Lord of the Heavens. There
in the shadow of that poplarmay have stood
the molten image, the human figure, of
bulls head, and outstretched arms from
which children dropped into the fiery lap.
They caused their sons and daughters to
pass through the fire.
"They made themselves molten images,
even two calves, and made a grove, and
worshipped all the hosts of Heaven, and
served Baal."
1t is not easy to associate these bloody
rites with such splendor of design and colos-
sal workmanship, yet it is beyond dispute
that these walls have seen the worship Of
Baal; that here incense has been consumed
in his honor; that his priests, clothed in rich
veStmentS, have trodden these pathS that
here mothers have looked on dry-eyed at
the sacrifices of their children, while the
screams of the burning victims were deadened
with fuate and drum
Six columns, graceful and gigantic, carry
ing a broken frieze-siX columns each rs feet
high and IL feet in dlameter-are all that
remain standing of this marvel of paganism
The grove whose tall poplars look like grass
growing out of assures in the fallen walls, is
silent 'There is voice, any that
answereth." We leave the ghostly shade
and walking down a quiet country lane
reach the gate that leads into the temple. A
Turkish guard admits Us, and in a moment
we are plunged into the gloom of vast
vault-like passage. The Pickering glare of
torches reveals the huge blocks of stone that
shut out air and sky. Emerging from these
vaults, we arrive at the Acropolis, and wander
in growing amazement among the ruinous
heaps of stone monstrous in size, so per-
feet in shape, so rich in carving as almost to
raise doubts of their human origin. Those at
karnak-familiar to every tourist in Egypt
and at Palmyra cover wider area. Their
strength, the massive simplicity of their pro-
portions, and the elaborate beauty of their
ornament are the things that move wonder
and admiration and make every modern pal

He Did Not Get the Picture.

During the extremely cold weather
there were great many frozen pipes
and some cases where the sewers that
were not buried deeply were frozen al
so. Many stories are going about
funny instances and the inconvenience
experienced when such was the case,
but one OF the best we have heard was
given to a crowd Of the usual lobbyites
in hotel in this place recently.
1t was about the time that the
steamer City of Pittsburg was beached
by the falling water and the towboats
were trying to liberate her, and much
interest was manifest in the situation.
Many persons were to be seen on the
bank near the Bellevue and on down
to the point, watching the attempts to
get her off the ground.
The pipes had become frozen at a
hotel and the landlord had the plumb
ers at work trying to get them open,
when the guests a the house hearing
the heavy exhaust of the boats at
work at the West Side landing where
the City of Pittsburg lay, began some
conjecture as to whether they could
get her off the bank, and after some
discussion one of them decided to take
his camera and go down to the point
and get a picture of the towboat try
ing to pull her off. He made the nee
essary preparations and walked down
to the river, distance of about two
good long squares in the biting cold
wind, and stood there for some time
looking for the effect desired, but could
not see that the boats were doing any
thing at all Several of the guests had
accompanied him and they all return
ed to the house ratDer disappointed at
the outcome of the undertaking, but
imagine their surprise upon arriving
at the hotel to hear the same exhaust
OF the boat. The owner OF the camera
made a second trip to the river, and
with the same success as before, and
returned to the house to find that the
steamboat exhaust that he had heard
was still going and upon investigation
It was found that 1t was caused by the
gasoline torch that the plumbers were
using for thawing out the frozen pipes.
