pIayiru with Moral Fire.

In various parts of the country there
has been an extraordinary NUMBER ol
tragedies of late arising out or the auNeh-
lures of unmarried women with marrie"
men. Morbid literature, chiefly OF tor-
eiyn birth or extraction, has been pro-
noting in this country the myth OF pla-
tonic affection between men and women
married and single. Almost lnVarlaoly
the prismatic illusion is actuallzed III
somber ending. If crime does not Smirch
both the parties or annihilate either the
reputation of both suffer, and II Is Inc
unwritten law that the woman in such
case suffers beyond repair. while the gull
ty man escapes or endures with compla-
cency the stigma which cannot be eff
faced from the future of his companion.
There is no prudence in mincing words
about these escapades. A married man
or woman who seeks intimate and con-
slant companionship outside the family
circle to which he or she belongs is eth
er libertine or fool.
No plea of eXtenuation can be set up
for the moral laches of Il married man or
married woman. They know perfectly
well that they are playing with fire or
playing the trapper of inexperencc. No
family of intelligence or self-respect will
tolerate social attentions from a married
man to an unmarried woman when those
attentions transcend the bounds Of abso-
lutte decorum. Yet mothers who are am
titious or avaricious will let their inno-
cent daughters play with this moral fire
with whose flame nine times in ten they
are bound to be burnt.
Many a blackened home is grim
monument to the satanic character of the
myth Of platonic love between married
men and unmarried women and no loss
often between married women and nm
married men.-Chicago Chronicle.

ton. when one comes to think of it. is
simple one. Women have for innum-
cradle generations been engaged in work
which does not admit of vacations. while
mans work does. Hence a public opin-
ion has grown up in the one case which
does not exist in the other.
The type of woman who is liable TO
overwork is conscientious. If she goes
away for an absolute rest of month
or three months, or year, she hears a
chorus of voices denouncing her As idle
incompetent or neglectful of duty. This
is especially the case if she be the mother
of family. She never gets away from
the care of that family. and she is al
ways conscious of the fact that if any
thing happens in her absence she will be
condemned by a jury of her peers for
having been away when it occurred. This
sort of thing takes all the rest out of a
vacation. and few people have the nerve
to disregard it.
This morbid conscientiousness, how
ever, is not a thing TO encourage. The
thing which every human being should do
Is TO make sure, first, that he or she has
Il fair amount of the work of the world
TO do, and second. to stop when that share
is done. If rest is necessary.
Of course, most people who are worth
anything in life do more than their share
OF work, but they should not break them
selves down in the process. Every sensi-
be person should find out how far it Is
possible to go, with safety to health and
usefulness, and stop there unless life and
death are involved. In that way
more will be accomplished for ones self
and for Others than by continual over
work out of some notion of pride or duty
winch Is not real conscientiousness at
all-New York News.

Changes of a Lifetime.

1t took the Roman republic some ages
to pass from the simple poverty of its
early days upon the seven hills to the
age of Augustus. but the American re-
public has made that change in one gem
Grafton.
In the second decade of the nineteenth
century the lives of the American people
were severely simple and plain. Most of
the necessaries of life were raised on the
farm by the people living on it. Most of
their trading was done by barter. The
country people scarcely ever got in the
course of year more than enough money
to pay their taxes. The farmers houses
were almost destitute of furniture. En-
cept a few school books and the family
Bible, there was no reading matter. eX-
cept in favored neighborhoods where two
or three families took n weekly newspa-
per together. Mails were infrequent and
postage was almost prohibitory. The era
of invention had not begun. Tha only
means of cooking was the open fire and
the brick oven. Meat was roasted by
suspending from cord attached to
hook in the ceiling. 1t was with great
difficulty that fires were started or kept
going. Tools and food and the labor of
men and animals We're freely borrowed
and lent. Farming tools were rude and
deficient. The poverty of farms in re-
spect to tools made it impossible for farm
ers to prosper except by cattle raising
and the cultivation of the small grains.
Heating stoves or furnaces were un-
known. Communication between dis
tant parts of the country was practically
No or Of, 9
the crudest sort. Men were narrow and
bigoted. Civilization was stationary.
There was prejudice against innova-
tion and change, belief that all wisdom
was in the fathers.
Contrast this simple narrow life with
the complex and broad life of the poorest
farmer of our times. Think of the tools
and horses. the machinery and the i'm
proved methods he has. Think of the
comforts and luXuries that are his. Think
how farming has been changed from
slavery to inspiring work. Then CON
trast the picture of the past with the
general wealth, progress in education, diff
fusion of knowledge. opportunities and
hopefulness Of our own times. Only the
beginnings of the great power of The
PtOpie are 50 10 seen. AS matter of
fact the tremendous changes wrought by
Improvement of communication and
transportation have made it possible for
great free governments to exist perma-
nently.
1t is now and ever will be the fashion
to talk of the good old times, but in
America the old times are not to be COM
pared with ours. Our wealth has not
spoiled the nation, though it has ruined
some classes. AT the core the nation is
sounder now than formerly because it is
wiser and better trained and equipped

The flag of the Cuban republic ante

The Press and Crime.

Much has been said and written upon
the Idea that the press. by the publication
of the details of crime, incites to the
commission of other crimes. Because the
details of suicide or murder are somo-
times copied by other suicides or mur-
derers there are those who generalize
from that fact that a curb should be nit
upon the press to restrain them from Civ
ing the sensational incidents of such ira
gedies.
People who argue in that fashion to
such conclusions understand human ma
ture imperfectly. They who know most
OF the psychology of the human animal
understand that there is no rigid law Of
imitativeness that will explain incidental
rcplications of example. The futility of
appealing to any such law was evidenc-
ed in the cases of Cain and Abel. The
law does not exist. else both those bows
would have been righteous instead of but
the one, and to-day we would be rejoiced
by seeing only good boys and good girls
in the families of which the parents are
models of morality.
Humanity is born croked-twisted into
a living Interrogation point. 1t wants
to know all about things as soon as il
finds out that there are things. 1t instinc.
lively wants to put this and that together
and get at the ends of things-and that
is why the baby tries to put his toes in
his mouth! That same inborn curiosity
follows the human creature always and
