The boardinghouse per Sc Is always
more or less demoralizing. There are
petty ambitions and annoying gossip,
discord. loneliness and more or less I'M
tidiness and bad cooking. This comes
Of the attempt to mix a dozen or more
people Of varying traditions and tenn
peraments together in an imitation
home The result Is the pickering and
intimate acquaintance Of home. with
out the affection and habit which made
these things endurable in family life.
The landlady Is called upon to do a
dozen things at once and cannot give
her attention to any one thing long
enough to see that 1t Is done well. The
consequence Is that there Is no dainti-
ness in serving. no perfection in cook
Ing and no punctuallty anywhere. 1t
Is impossible that any other condition
OF things should exist in the great ma
jority of such establishments. Here

ever. that the fact that 40 per cent. OF
those who wrote to him had telepathic
experiences does not indicate such an
average among the human family. The
three periodicals whose readers he
asked for information have large cir
culation. and 1t is safe to say that every
reader who had had premonitions OF
the death Of friends wrote to Flam-
marion, while the others would not re-
gard it as worth while. This Is fault
that can be found with a good proper

that makes them usually worthless.

The browning glory Of the century
now dra wing to close. which, strange
~ enough, is not noticed by any OF the
historians of the epoch. Is the fact that
1t has abolished human slavery. A
hundred years ago the idea that one
man might own another and make mer-
chandise Of him was everywhere toler-
ated and almost everywhere sanction
ed. Religion itself searched holy scrip
ture for justification Of the hideous
atrocity and professed to find 1t. Even
Denmark's decree against this wrong
did not take effect until the end Of the
year 1862. and French legislation did
not finally abolish slavery in the col
onles until 1918. 1t was not until 1894
that England decreed emancipation.
and not until 1910 that the decree took
effect. The ukase Of Alexander III.
abolishing the Russian serf system was
proclaimed in 1861. and our own eman-
cipation was not effected until 1865.

Mrs. Egbert and Miss Sampson, OF
Chicago. announce that they are about
to establish a new monthly journal to
he called the Bachelors Magazine. II
is to be devoted entirely to the wants
the whims, the foibles and the fancles
of the unmarried man. The projectors
of this magazine are the pioneers IN
field which is already ripe for the har'
vest. Mrs. Egbert and Miss Sampson
are not moved to the 1illing of this long
felt want by merely mercenary consid-
erations. They find that there are
magazines by the score for the women
of the country. The children have
their manifold publications; men OF
every trade and profession have their
organs; there are even journals pub.
llshed in the interest Of White Chester
hogs and short horn cattle. But the
lonely bachelor has been left heretofore
to do the best he could without journal
istic guidance. Now all that Is to be
changed. The Bachelors Magazine
starts out with the intention OF becom'
ing the single mans counselor. lode
star, and sheet anchor In times Of trou.
BILE. 1t will be distinctly practical
from the start. There will be articles
on such vital topics as safety Pins as
Substitutes for Suspender Buttons"
and How to Find IA Collar Button In
the Dark" A number Of helpful de.
partments will be established under the
direction Of successful and habitual
bachelors, including one entitled side
Talks About Darning Socks" Later,
after the magazine has become more
firmly established. an effort will be
made to secure contributions from
prominent personages In all parts Of
the world. covering such topics, for in
stance, as How l Tie My Fourth
Hand" by the Prince of Wales; and
"How to Make Second-StOry Hall
Bedroom Beautiful" by leading ex.
perts. The fact that the new maya.
zine Is to be in the hands Of Mrs. Egg.
bert and Miss Sampson Is guarantee
OF success. The former. being mar
ried woman. knows from personal ex.
periencc what helpless and inefficient
creature the average man Is, while the
latter will bring to the work high
ideals as to what he may become un-
der proper direction and guidance.
