Waking Him Up|The Domestic Man n
Passing IdoaI-A Wholesome ReaIiza-
ton of Personal shortcomings-Notes
Of the Modes-Cooking Lessons.
THE MAN.

Provincial society invariably sets
great store by the domestic man, he
being regarded as the ideal husband
and father. Pressed to define the
special virtues of their paragon, his
admirers usually find nothing more to
say in his behalf than that he is not
~dissipated; observation of the domestic
man also fails to discover that he is
any other in the majority of instances
than a negative quantity. His own
ease and comfort are what engage his
attention, he, as bread winner, being
conceded the lions share of whatever
there is to be had in the home of
quiet, or rest, or convenience, or UNI
disturbed enjoyment of such mild di-
version as reading the evening paper.
The usual variety of domestic man
concerns himself no more with con-
tributing to the entertainment of the
home than If he were a stranger. To
be sure, at intervals he accompanies
his wife to church s~ociables or goes
along with her somewhat unwillingly
to call upon acquaintance, but he at
no time feels it incumbent upon him
to become the i~nstigator and prime
executive of amusements in the home;
MOI do the exertions of domestic life
appeal to him as a duty he should
share, In the evening with his wife and
the other members of the family. His
position, which is acquiesced in by the
members of the household, is that his
efforts at breadwinhing outside earn
for him exemptions from the labors
and self-denials of the home. He is,
therefore, as a rule, merely a negative
quantity, unless he happens to be a
person Of Feasibility, when, to be sure,
he is a positive nuisance.
1t is interesting to note how in mod
ern progressive communities the ten
dency is to persuade men against too
exclusive domesticity. Outside Of So
cial clubs, which have existed for a
long time, there are now civic asso-
Citations, university extension lectures,
peoples clubs and Institutes, and the
e-ver-recurring entertainments and fix
ed recreations offered by some of the
most progressive of the modern
churches. The effort in all these is to
bring the individual man in to proper
common benefit; to stimulate him to
an all around and continuous develop

Colombian territory by troops from
Ecuador and Venezuela and of the vio-
lation of the territory of these repub-
lies by the troops of Colombia. The
news has been really a record of the
stand which is being made by the Con-
sentative party of Colombia against the
Liberals of the other two nations. Ec-
uador, being a small nation and the
government seemingly having the Lib
erals better in hand than they are in
the other two countries, has so fer
managed to keep from becoming en-
broiled in actual war; but under the
lead Of Castro the Liberals of Venezue-
la have made common cause with their
brethren of Colombia against the Con-
s~ervatives, who opposed the union and
a state of wal exists between the two
nations. Should Castro, with the aid
Of the Colombian Liberals, succeed in
overthrowing the existing government
of Colombia, the union is inevitable,
and Ecuador would come into the fed
Grafton quietly, as she did before in
Bolivar's time.
After that it will be time enough to
talk about Peru and Bolivia. At pres
ent armies are marching and battles
are being fought for the uniication Of
the states which Bolivar freed from
the Spanish yoke and formed into a
nation which he fondly hoped should
flourish and be forever a monument to
his memory-a landmark of his fame
but which fell to pieces upon his death.
Castro, in seeking to re-establish the
great nation of Bolivar, may be like
the dog In the fable, and in g%rasping
at the vision of what he desires may
lose the substance Of that which he
has; for his enemies are numerous and
are not idle. At present, however, he
seems to hold Venezuela with a firm
hand, the firmest which has been at the
helm of state since Guzman Blanco
left the country to its fate and be-
came fat, supine and politically I'M
potent amid the pleasures of Partisan
life.
Castro has great energy, great ambi-
ton and cannot be denied consider
able ability of a certain sort. In poll
tics and war his career has been adven-
turous, and when he suddenly became
a political factor his rise to power vas
rapid. He came to the presidency ~
Venezuela by fire and sword, and ~
holds his power in a manne which
would not be tolerated in many oun
tries.

horses killed in battle. The duke of
Wellington built one at Strathields-
aye, where the famous charger Copen-
hagen died. The height Of Farley
Mount, not far from Winchester, is
crowned with an obelisk erected to a
horse buried there. The name of the
animal was Beware Chalk Pit, this
cognomen having been bestowed on
account of the fact that the horse dur
ing a hunt jumped into a chalk pit
twenty feet deep, with it's master on
its back. The obelisk is a landmark
for many miles around. The mention
of this horse as a hunter recalls the
fact that at Sandiway, in Cheshire,
there is a monument to another ami
NAL of the chase-a foxhound. Blue
cap was its name, and it's exploits
were the theme of songs which are
not yet forgotten, though 120 years
have passed since the hound died.
The obelisk was erected by the late
A. H. Smith-Barry.

Grave of a N1sthusslnh.

Germantown as a district has a GER
tain renown for the longevity of it's
natives, and the oldest inhabitant"
of the settlement east of the Wissa-
hickon is a patriarch, indeed. A tomb
stone in the old Concord burying
ground, on Germantown avenue, above
Washington lane, however, makes the
more modern Methuselah's pale into
insigniicance. The inscription on this
marble slab recites that the person
buried was "aged 800 years." which is
n year older than the biblical patri-
arch at the time of his decease. That
the carved figures are is
evident, and the generally accepted
theory is that the s%tonecutter chiseled
the figures SO in mistake for SO, and
when this was detected ~cleverly plug
ged up the first 8 and then carved the
number after the six. Time wore
away the plug, so that today this
tombstone claims for him who lies be-
meath a record for longevity never yet
equaled.

The fur trade Of Canada has long

French philosopher as a region of ice
and snow which France could well
spare is now famous as a large export
er OF the best wheat and apples and
other products which attest the rich
ness Of the soil and the favorable eli
matte conditions for the sustenance

Queer ArtIacIa Coal.

Certain ingenious Germans recently
advertised a machine by which, they
claimed, common peat could he trans
formed into artificial coal, at the rate
of $1.10 to s1.2O a ton. According to
Mr.. Hughes, United States consul at
Coburg, there are grave reasons for
doubling whether the machine can do
any such thing. "The company" he
points out in his official report, "is
said to be located somewhere in East
Prussia and claims that its process
will make a fuel that will take rank
between a good English coal and an
thracite. 1t is said the managers are
going to organize a company in the
United States, SO II would be well
for American investors to be cautious
till the real worth of the process has
been proved. | am informed that 1t
is valueiess." Consul Hughes uses
even stronger words of warning than
these, and 1t Is evident that he re-
CARDS the enterprise as a most auda-
cIous scheme for making money.-New

ment, and to make him resourceful in
order that he shall not only be less
the victim Of outside relations and
conditions, but also that he may better
serve the community. The dull re-
spectability and the snug self-satisfac-
ton of the typical domestic man is,
under the stimulus of i~ntelligently
directed training through the agencies
cited, giving way to a wholesome reali-
cation of personal shortcomings and
an appreciation of world interests.

Parents, Rights over Children.

A father has the right to the service
and earnings of his child while the child
lives with him and is maintained by him
"a right, says Harper's Bazaar. resting
upon the parental duty of maintenance,
and furnishing some compensation for
the service he renders the child. How
long this right may continue is open to
question, but certainly until the child
reaches the age of IA, and usually during
the entire period of minority. But
where a father refuses or neglects to
support the child or compels him to sup
port himself the right to his earnings
ceases. At common law mother had
no implied right to the services and
earnings of her child. as she was not
bound, like the father. for its mainte-
nance. The tendency of the United

rights with liberality. especially If she

II was once little piece of iron in
mine, where 1 lived with my numerous
brothers and sisters. One morning a
number of men brought huge machine
to the mine and fastened it so well that
our home was blown to pieces. The next
thing that remember was when l was
put into a smelling oven, from which L
emerged little piece of unshaped metal.
l was then put into a form and came out
of the form a small piece Of wire, which
was shaped into a pin felt very
proud, indeed, when my brothers and my
self were placed in papers just like rows
Of orderly soldiers. We were then packed
in a box and shipped to notion store,
where we were unpacked and placed in
glass case. We felt very proud, indeed,
when we first arrived, but when we saw
the gigantic, stately hatpins and beauti-
full, proud glass headed pins and the her
culean safety pins all gazing at us with
scornful contempt our pride fell. A
young lady came to the store and pur-
chased the paper l was in, and in a short
time | was standing up on a cushion at
her home. One morning she tried to fas-
ten piece of ribbon to her gown with
me, but dropped me to the floor. The

Naming the Baby.

We lately came across the extraordi-
nary Christian names of "Suetonius" and
"Trinidad Orbegoso," the latter feminine.
There must have been some special rea-
son for bestowing such very queer names,
but even so. it seems scarcely justi6able
to name children in a way that must
needs make them uncomfortable, particu-
larly in their schooldays. The choice of
a name, however, is far more difficult
than it seems. When one hears a num-
Der of young people talking together, all
their names sound pleasing, yet perhaps
there is not one that one would choose
for daily and hourly use, and then, when
a favorite one has been thought of, care
must be taken that it is one which sounds
well in conjunction with the surname
and also that the initials do not form an
unsuitable word. Charles Urquhart Bar
nard and Ralph Oliver Townsend, for in
stance. are names which sound very vel
in full, but to use the initials would be
trying-Philadelph Ledger.

at puzzles me-" said hairdresser at
one of the popular resorts, why women
are so careless about their hair. I am
kept busy all winter trying to get hair in
good condition that was spoiled in the
summer. There is nothing that hurts the
roots of the hair as sea bathing does, yet
many women battle nearly every day for
month of two, and seldom have the
hair properly washed afterward, and
then they wonder why it falls out in
winter. and have massage and tonics for
six months to make it healthy again.
"They often think, because only a part
Of the hair gets wet, just under the edge
of the cap, that there is no harm done,
but that is just where the harm comes.
1t is at the roots that the water does
most damage"
