In the camps in South Africa. hcrded to-
gether like so many cattle by the Brush
soldiers. have no doubt that the suffer-
ing is intense and the hearts of the civ
ilizcd people are justly touched by the
stories of what they have to endure. But
the condition of the Jews in Russia Is
worse than the worst of the suffering i'll
South Africa. and yet from one end to
the other of this big world not voice
in their behalf is raised or heard. Not
one single voice speaks in behalf Of
7OO0.0OO of Jews This is sad COM
mentary on the boast of progress and civ
ilization.
But can fully understand it-they are
Jews. What matter if they suffer! What
concern is it of ours: They have no guns
to back them; no armorcd ships to fight
for Them they are only Jews. They have
suffered for eighteen centuries; let their
suffering go on.
This is condition of affairs which
calls to heaven for justice and not char
ity. | agree with you Zonists that if
these Jews feel they have no country
they are justified in trying to establish
one. What place can they call their
own? They must do military service in
Russia. and then the Gar says they are

WHICH SHALL IT BE ?

ca HE household is not the only do
main in which the question OF
q conscientious Sinking comes up.
Even business woman who lives III
"A boarding house and has no fore
knowledge of what she shall eat or
drink cannot escape from the burden
of the whcrewithal she shall be cloth
ed The wear of business life upon Il
woman's clothes is so great that 1t
would take half the evenings in the
week. if not all of them. to keep her
clothes up to the proper standard.
There are always rips and worn
places in the bindings of skirts and
petticoats to mend. boots to black,
npckties to press. stocks to manufac-
ture. Innings of collars. ribbons and
gloves to clean. handkcrchiefs and lace
collars to wash and iron. stockings to
darn, hair to shampoo, nails to mani
cure-the list is endless.
Self-respect is the important consid-
Grafton in settling the question from
the personal point of view. What will
my sclf-respect allow me to shirk? Is
my first duty to my clothes, or isn't
it? TO me personally no mental de-
yclopment can reconcile me to untidi-
ness: but, on the other hand. no
amount of tidincsS can reconcile me to
empty medicines.

of a silver dollar. can be hidden in this
groove. The first two years of this pro-
cess are terrible.
In China fashions do not change so
readily as among the Americans. but l
am told that the reaction against foot
binding is general. and that large per-
centage of the girls whose feet would
have been bound during the last two
years are growing up naturally and able
to romp and play like other little girls.
One of the great evils of unbinding the
feet is that after the deformity of the
foot is attained the unfortunate must
suffer great pain if the bandages are re-.
moved. 1t has. however. in many in.
stances been done slowly and the women
can now walk, and say they suffer no
pain.

A Child Naturally Good.

There is something in the heart OF
every natural child that aspires to
ward goodness. toward beauty. toward
that which is ever fresh, pure and
wholesome. Give him the whole earth
and withhold the one drop OF nourish
ment on which the health of his heart
depends and you leave him unsatis-
fled. 1t is not pleasure merely. it is
something deeper, more extensive than
this which hallows within his memory
the rill that is to run with sweet wa
tiers all his after-lfe. Into the joy of
the moment must enter some tncture
of virtue, some hint of enduring pur-
pose. a suggestion of intimacy with
larger life, toward which his own is to
grow.-Woman's Home Companion.

Fasteniuys for Carpets.

Pins and sockets for putting down
the ordinary floor carpet are not new
ut all, but they are SO useful that they
are worth mentioning. The great util-
ity of these is that the carpet can be
taken up with but little trouble for i
weekly shaking instead of sweeping if
one desires. The sockets are driven
into the floor ut regular intervals
around the room, the carpet is put
down. and for each socket there is a
pin or brass -headed nail which goes
into it. holding the carpet as firmly
in place as the ordinary tack. But
with the pin and socket there is no
trouble in lifting it again. The pins
are replaced in the sockets to keep
them from filling with dust, and when
the carpet is cleaned it can be put
down again with ease. The pins are
sufficiently long-234 inches-to hold
the carpet firmly. In some houses
hall carpets are put down without
lining and taken up frequently to be
shaken.

High Praise for American Women.


A glowing tribute is paid the Amer
lean women by Prof. Wehrle, an emf
nent German teacher of aesthetics.
The social position of the American
woman, he says. has not been attained
by her sisters in any other country.
The American climate is one of the
chief causes of her pre-eminence. Gre

somewhat squat type prevalent i'll Eu-
rope. Her graceful lightness and ease

quick mercurial movement, her fasci-

America. There the women resemble

sylphs. nymphs and angels ought to be.
The American women are exceptional
" energetic and decided. Their char
acters have every good quality which
GOES to make Il perfect woman. Free
from timidity and from excessive mod
esty. their practical ability enables
them to face every difficult situation
in which they find themselves.

To Women in Middle Life.

Women in middle life, and from there
onward, should take more and more
care of their personal appearance. AS
the eyes and complexion fade and the
hair grows dull all the cunning secrets
of the toilet become important. Happi-
ness may depend upon the shade
chosen for a dinner dress or the set of
Il hat upon the tresses that are JUS,
tinged with gray. The woman of 40
nee. IS all the help she can get FROM
dress. and the woman of 30 needs it
still more. When age comes at last
if age ever does come TO the modern
woman--the dress problem has become
easy. Richness and elegance of ma
terial, planness of cut and making.
these are rules all old women should
follow. If lack of money stands in the
way there is still plainness and neat
ness to be sure of. and the materials
of a well-made dress. after all, do not
count so much.-Ada G. Sweet, in Wo-
mans Home Companion.

Eleonora Duse. the famous Italian
actress, is peculiarly nervous. When
she is not at rehearsalS or acting she
spends her time in perfect rest. She
sees no one except old friends. and
only few of these. She has Il com
panion who arranges her journeys and
engages her rooms in the hotels. This
woman sees that Buses rooms are at
the back of the hotel, and that, if
possible, they look out on garden.
She cannot bear street sounds and
sights. The furnishing of her rooms
is important. There must be no pic
lures or busts; nothing to disturb her
highly-wrought, aesthetic sensibilities.
Everything must be scrupulously
clean. severe and quiet.

CORPORATIONS WITH SOULS.

Notwithstanding all the cutlery that
is constantly raised against trusts and
corporations, once in a while they are
not entirely sOulless. Here comes the
Standard Oil Company. the largest or
the second largest corporation in the
United States, voluntarily reducing the
working hours of eleven thousand OF
its employees. All of these men work
in Queens County. Long Island, and
they now receive what is virtually a
very large increase in their earning
capacity. The men made no effort to
secure an increase in wages or re-
duCtion in hours. but they were volun.
tarily informed by the officials of the
company that. after June /, their woti
day would be eight hours instead of
nine. Their rate of pay, which is by
the day, was not changed.
About a year ago the Standard Oil
Company made reduction in the
hours of its employees from ten to
nine hours, and this second favor was
not expected by the men, who are not
organized and who had made no com
plant. II is now hoped by the com
pany that the men will be kept busy
all of the time instead of PRACTICAL,
four or five days week. There is M
doubt that the Standard Oil Company
can afford to make this change. 1
should also be remembered that thi,
