Why is it that Mr.. McLaurin continues
to speak and vote with the Republicans
and still claims to be a Democrat? The
answer is that if he proclaimed himself
a Republican he could not run in the
primaries in South Carolina for Senator
ship. AS a Republican in South Carolina,
he could do the Democratic party no
harm. If he poses as a Democrat, while
preaching Republican doctrine, he can
work it injury. That's the secret of his
present attitude.

Should man make home before

Then she laughed one of copious
mellow laughs. 81 think you have
got that wrong, John, upon my word
do.
Homes do not produce wife or lead
up them. It's just the ether way, it
seems to ME. The wives produce the
men as. Yong men, as understand
it, think just about as much of max
ing a home be- fore they get wifr,as they
think about making flying trip to the
moon. Why, it would be just toe
ridiculous, John, to see young man
building a home and furnishing it,
and then expecting a wife and baby
to drop in because it's ready, as the
wrens do. You know yourself you
never would have had home like
this if you hadn't got married. How
could you?

Universities.

FlAu0 Made To Tive Inom n0ocotaoa -
Universities.
The higher education Of women Is
not confined to the western world. The
announcement has been made by the
British Medical Journal that wealthy
family. that OF Mitsui OF Toxic. In ia
pan, has offered an extensive site in
that city for the foundation OF a uni
versity to be devoted exclusively to the
education OF women. and It Is stated
that three other wealthy citizens have
contributed between them no less than
f24,000 for the cost OF the necessary
buildings. The work is already in
progress, and the new university will
be opened during this. the first year of
the present century. Such an institu-
tion founded for the benefit OF pro-
gressive race Of people. Is not likely
to be failure. Japanese women are
amongst the most active in the world.
Intelligent in the highest degree they
have proved themselves admirable
helpmates to marry Europeans to
whom they have become allied. 1t Is
well known that one Of our most emf
nent literary writer's. an author in the
first rank Of English poets, has taken
unto himself Japanese lady, who
shares his title and is now distin-
guished ornament in English sccitty.
Although the University of Toxic Is
not as yet in working order, there is
no probability that there will be any
dearth Of students. In recent years
very many young ladies of good fami-
lies in Japan have applied to be ad-
mitted to university courses, espcc ally
to those in the faculty of medicine and
in the Polytechnic school. There can
be no doubt, from the character OF
japanese women, that they are admir-
ably suited, both intellectually an;.
phiIanthropically. to become m deal
practitioners. In addition to thes, op-
portunities which will be offered to
them, the new university is intended
for the training of civil engineers, and
in this way Japan will set an example
to Europe. in opening up new sphere
OF labor for women. II is satisfactory
to note that the Japanese. undoubtedly
the most intellectual and progressive
of all eastern nations, should be the
first to recognize the right OF women
to be partakers in the higher education
in common with men.

Havelock Ellis. an Englishman of

Nineteenth Century: A Dialogue in

between two men, one of them a stu

path which leads to Intelligent tenn

are learning, merely a cloak for the
politician and promoter, when truth is

The story of the private life OF the
present king OF England is, according
to late reports. one of the best selling
books now on the American market.
1t may be supposed at first that this
fact is due to the title. which conveys
a subtle impression that the volume
may have something to do with GER
tain scandals which have from time to
time been more or less freely circulat-
ed on this side the Atlantic. Such.
however. is not the case. The work 10

the publishers to let it be known that
it is put forth under the approval of

doubt in the minds of the booksellers
that the character of the work is gen
orally known to its purchasers. They
buy it, not in the expectation OF ind
ing scandalous morsel, but because
they want to know about royalty.
Surely we are not forgetting that We
ourselves are all uncrowned kings and
queens and always the equals OF the
most exalted on earth, no matter what
their titles may be. Surely We are not
degenerating into a race OF snobs and

SEEKING THE POLE.


lie Sanguine.
In the Saturday Evening Post Frank
Wilbert Stokes gives an intensely in
teresting sketch from the inside of
polar expeditions. Regarding the
character Of men he makes this inter-
esting observation: THE choice OF
the men and their number are the
most important questions the COM
mander has to decide. for upon these.
almost wholly depend the expeditions
success or failure. In government ex
petitions the men are put through a
rigid physical examination. but In pri-
vate expeditions such is not the rule.
A man should be sound physically
but there are exceptions, notably that
of DIR. Kane. who was somewhat OF an
invalid all his life. and who yet with
stood hardship better than some OF
the more athletic men Of his command.
The large. heavily built. muscular men
do not begin to stand the strain like
the light, well-knit wiry men, Peary
could not lift the weights some OF his
men did. but. being OF why fiber, he
is almost tireless. and Is still evidenc-
ing his endurance in spite OF the loss
OF seven toes. The mind is a sup-rla-
tive factor. Experience shows that the
sanguine temperament is the best to
overcome the difficulties. disappoint-
ments and dangers Of polar service, by
lending hopefuiness where appear
ances are totally against success. In
telligence Is desideratum, for 1t finds
plenty to do during the long polar
night, where Ignorance would despair.
On Joining an expedition one must go
clearly and calmly over the ground
and make up his mind that he may not
return: and the mind. once decided.
Will override and conquer the body.
Otherwise 1t is better not to go at ALL"
