Suits of Woe.

SUITS of Woe.
The sight Of long black box drawn
by black horses and driven by man
in black with a chalk white face, de-.
presses every one whose vision it
crosses. Undertakes are pleasant
men. There is one in Lincoln who is
a thoroughly good fellow. He goes
about chuckling to himself over some
choice bit of humour he has discov-
cred but does not venture to COM
municate for fear of displeasing his
patrons, who are so accustomed TO
seeing an undertaken look solemn,
that any other expression seems q
ghastly lack OF sympathy. The death
of a beloved friend is bad enough.
Why should the undertaken who takes
charge of the body attempt to deepen
the shock and frighten tie children
of the neighborhood by driving up in
a vehicle which looks like coffin on
wheels with buggy top fastened to
it? The most sympathetic undertak-
ercannot sympathize with the friends
Of the people he buries. If he did he
would not last long, sympathy is such
a draught on the system. If he does
not sympathize why should he pre-
tend to by driving about in a ghoul-
ish, CHASTITY vehicle that frightens
every little child who meets il? The
undertaken can make our woe no
sharper, but the hypocrisy OF his ex-
preston and of his rig, frequently
irritates the mourners. Then, be
sides. the extra blackness Of his trap
pings and expression sometimes ap-
pear in the bill, and the chief mourn
er lacks the audacity to demonstrate
with one who seemed so genuinely
broken-hearted in the hours OF death
and trial. Undertaking is an hon.
est aad very useful business; but
the merchants who are engaged in it
affiict the community by insisting on
so many and such conspicuous fuuer-
al trsppings. They intrude by many
signs and symbols of woe upon the
natural. uupremeditated grief OF the
mourners, and they scare children.

mate business drove about in incon-
spicuous vehicles. cheerful looking

sleeve, is vulgarity which will be
longer disappearing than all the rest.
From the custom of carrying the
body of dead friend upon bier to
the grave, we have come to the glass
hearse framed in black, and it is not
an evolution.
A Real Woman's Club.
Listening to other women read pa
pers on the culture that was Greece,
on the dimensions of the parthenon.
or on the causes of the dissolu-
tion of the Roman empire, is the
devoted club woman's idea of good
time. Men will occasionally listen
to one Of their fellows read a paper,
especially if they know the time is
coming when they will have an op.
portunity to criticise it. Some men,
mostly lawyers, ministers and pro.
fessors, belong to debating club;
but the large majority believes that
ten hours Of labor is enough exercise
for the mind, and they prefer the
clubs where they can get something
eatable and drinkable, can talk and
tell very stale stories that were not
funny even when they were new, to
other good-natured and unexacting
men who have not donned their over
coats and faced a storm to hear about
what allied Rome or to listen to an
exposition Of the beauties OF Greece.
Some college women of New York
city have decided to have real club,
too; a club whose reason for being is
not to cultivate but comfort, and a
cup Of tea together and perhaps a
game of cards: club where man
cometh not. Although she prefers
man to any thing else the world con-
tains, woman does enjoy retreat
whence she is assured man cannot
arrive. Although men love women,
they do not want them in the club.
l think each sex desires place from
which the other is forever and finally
excluded. There is no such place
unless it is the club. When men and
women mingle in society there are
always few who feel slighted be-
cause wherever and whenever they
are together the question of attrac-
tiveness is settled over again. The
men pay the attentions and the wom-
en- receive them. And it is the most
difficult task i'm the world to main-
tain these several attitudes without
offense to some one who has been Civ.

TO attracti se members of either sex.
1t is a strain, and If it were not for
the absolute seclusion Of the club it
would be harder than it is now to
get men out to parties and routs.
Women cannot forget their appear
ance when men are about. They are
careful not to excite the disapproval
OF women, but there is not so much
anxiety about the latter's opinion.
Some women go through life hated
by all other women and they know it:
but the detested are rather flattsred

@ One of the striking workmen said the other day in reply to friend who suggested that the more intelligent strike would be at the ballot box, Well, the boys are doing the best they know now, but they are getting their eyes open and will some day see their way to the polls'' So may it be, but it all depends on whether their leaders suggest the movement or not. Left to themselves there is little to be expected from their sagacity. Many of them go to the polls now but it is only to record their sanction of the conditions the results of which they constantly kick against They declain sgaaizlst a scalp this and a .scab" that, but the sscab' E ballot is evidently all right. And those who would declaim against this incon- sistency are evidently all wrong. A man must have the liberty to VOTE as he likes, regardless of it's effect on others, but he mustn't apply that lib- erty to anything else, at least not where the interests of the trade unionist might happen to be affected.

 Let parents make 1t their chief care to build up for their children sound body, body capable alike of work and of enjoyment. As soon as child is ol6 enough to help building up his or her body let him or her take hand in 1t. Teach the young that soundness of body and fTYinnd is the main thing in life, that without this boon nothing plenty of exercise, but don't overwork it either in point of enjoyment or in point of business.
 If at one time or another you have overworked your body, don't worry about it, but guard against repetition. Repetition leads to bad habits.
 Be Independent. Don't do things be cause you see other people do them.
 Admire courage and practice 1t. Tf- midity is hateful.
 Don't worry about the enemy from without-bacilli, changes in the weath- CT, etc.-but try to steel your body against their influence. They mustn't be allowed to get in or hurt it.

 If you want the physician to help you, you must help the physician. You must work hand in hand with him.
 Don't forget that it's yourself who decides upon soundness and ill health of your body. If you are unwilling to assist your physician, you rob him of the most important factor in medicine.
 Don't become a slave to habit.

THE LOGIC OF THE STU
 ATION,

In the great labor strike now on all over the country for a shorter work day, 8 Hartford manufacturer and official who shut out all his employees on the opening day of the struggle, gave his case plainly away, in an interview regarding the situation, when acknowl- edging that shorter hours were bound to come and there should be no ob- jection to them, and then the wages would have to be advanced providing they remained at the same rate per hour as at present, because the men couldn't live on less than they are now receiving. Here are the words as found in the report of the interview:

A Connecticut Republican organ says: From Johnson does not show good judgment in advising the Ohio Democrats to nominate J. J. Lentz for the governorship. Lentz is a particu- 1arly offensive specimen" The ex- planation of this is that Lentz's de- mocracy is of the genuine kind,-not embodied altogether in the tag; and as a man is endowed with the courage of his convictions. Lentz is a "man of the people" all the time, and as such must necessarily be offensive" to those of aristocratic tendencies. And that his democracy and aggresssiveness are somewhat recognized and appreciated by those who know him best is evil denced by his election twice in suc- cession in a Republican congressional district, and would have been the third time had not Mark Hanna and a spe- cial corruption fund been especially organized to prevent it. As it was, they managed to count him out by only about dozen votes. And Lentz is a man after Tom Johnson's own heart honest, fearless, uncompromising, and true to principle all the time.
