Girls, do you know that n sister has great
deal TO do In the moulding of a brothers char
acter? Do you Know that you have much to do
with the sort of husband he Is going to make,
and SO, with shaping the happiness or misery
of his home? IL isn't enough to teach him TO
lust love and respect you-athough this you
must do-aud do it by being admirable and
worthy. You have failed In your mission If
you do not teach him To reverence all women,
as did Christ, who said even to her whom other
men would stone, GO, and sin no more"
Teach your brother that he Is his sisters
keeper, and that his sister is every woman God
has made; and that even In the ruined and
wandering one. there Is precious soul which
his straight walk with God may save.
"Ohi BenJe you hurt me-" the writer once
heard noble sister say to younger brother
who was speaking-not ill-bat lightly. of a girl
friend. "You, SITS! Why, what have you to do
with 1t? You're all right"

SALISBURY MOVES AN
ADDRESS TO TIE THRONE.
In . speech to the House of Lords
He Adverts to the Prevalence
and vfIlainy of Anarchy.

LONDON. July 31.-Moving an address
to the throne with reference to the as
sasination of King Humbert, OF Italy,
the premier, Lord Salisbury said in the
house OF lords today that anarchists are
not confined to any one political opinion.
He said the last half century had seen
the assassination of three presidents OF
republics and two monarchs. II was "a
fearful thing" Lord Salisbury said. "to
contemplate this depth of human viliainy
threatening the destinies of society In
the early future"
The premier paid glowing tribute 10
the character OF King Humbert, who.
he said had unfaggingiy worked for the
benefit Of his country and people. The
assassination OF such man could not
be considered revenge; IT was nothing
but that morbid thirst for notoriety which
Is the plague and curse Of modern civil
ization which had time and again led
men to the commission of foulest crimes
and which threatened the very existence
of society II IL could not be arrested.
He did not propose to speak OF remedies
for such n state OF things. but he had
never hesitated to express his own views
In that respect.
The Earl OF Kimberley, liberal. second
ed the motion for the adoption OF the
address, which was adopted both In the
house OF lords and In the commons.
In the lower house, A. j. Balfour spoke
In similar strain to the speech of Lord
Salisbury. and Sir Henry Campbell Ban
herman. the Liberal leader In the house
OF commons, seconded the motion.
