AN ANCIENT ISLANDER
Woman Is No Ponder of Hearing Her. self Talk Than Is the Man
 Who Ridicules Her.

The less foundation there is for a slan- der the longer it lives. How many ideas are in existence to-day that have been handed down through the channels of literature and verbal tradition and are firmly believed in by the mass of man. kind and yet are absolutely erroneous. For example, take that common idea of womans garrulity. From the preVa- lence Of this mistaken notion one might imagine that man has lost the power of speech and that woman is the sole medium for verbal communication. The so-called comic" papers teem with jokes in which womans alleged fond ness for words, words, words" as Hamlet says, is held up for ridicule. The men who write cynical paragraphs for the press are continually harping on this ancient theme of feminine loquacity with such remarks as this: "A man in Missouri hasn't spoken word to his wife in 16 years. Perhaps he was unwilling to interrupt" Or, 'It was said of a certain great man that he could be silent in seven languages. It is rarely that woman prefers one-sev- enth of this feat" Funny? Perhaps, but with a sting.
 Let us see whether verbosity is a purely feminine characteristic. Preach ing and the law may be regarded as chief among the 'talkative" profes- sions, and these are filled almost exclu- sively by men. Barbering, too, which is somewhat of a conversational calling, attracts many more men than women, and who ever heard of female auc- tioneer? The truth Is. the power of speech was given to both men and wom- en for intelligent use, and one sex abuses the privilege about as much as the other But to lay the entire burden of criticism upon woman is the essence of injustice. e.-Housekeeper.

After church, they were to be employed in repeating the catechism till half-past five, and then be dismissed with an injunction to go home without making noise; and by no means to play in the street" Four women were employed as teach CTS in the Raikes school, at the rate of a shilling day.
 The primary object of MT. Raikes in starting his school on Sunday was to provide a means of keeping the chil- dren off the street, and the matter of religious instruction was only inciden- tai, the school partaking more of the nature of the modern day school than that of the modern Sunday school; in fact, it is often said the present free school system is an outgrowth of the Raikes movement.

BEAUTY'S SEVEN NURSES.
List of Don'ts Which Women Who Wish to Remain Attractive
 Should Obey.

Don't forget that the nurses of woman's beauty are seven-fresh air, sunshine, warIath, rest, sleep, food and whatever stirs the blood, be it exer- else or enthusiasm.
 Don't neglect sleep. You can sleep yourself into good looks. A long nap and a hot bath will make any woman more attractive, and lift years from her shoulders.
 Don't eat when tired and don't work when tired. It is mistake to work when not in fit condition-bad for the work and worse for you
 Don't miss your beauty sleep" It is a mistake to go to bed late at night, rise at daybreak, and imagine that every hour taken from sleep is an hour gained.
 Don't give unnecessary time to a certain established routine of house. work, when it could be much more profitably spent in rest and recreation
 Don't sit down to table as soon as you come in from work, or round of social duties Lie down, or sit down for ten minutes, waiting until you can partake of your dinner with the physi- cal machinery rested and refreshed.
 Don't bathe in hard water. Soften it with little powdered borax, or 8 handful of oatmeal
 Don't bathe the face while it is very warm or very cold
 Don't wash the face when travelling, unless it is with little alcohol and water, or little cold cream.
 Don't attempt to remove dust with cold water. Give the face hot bath with soap, and then rinse thoroughly with clear tepid or cold water
 Don't rub the face with too coarse a towel. Treat it as you would the finest porcelain, tenderly and delicately.
 Don't be afraid of sunshine and fresh air. They offer you bloom and color
 Don't forget that hearty laughter is a source of relaxation. So are all high thoughts, as those of hope, beauty, trust and love.
 Don't forget that beauty is power. There is nothing more potent. It is to a woman what capital is to a mer- chant Its absence is misfortune; its culture wise and proper.-Washingt Star

Then turning to his friend, he said, as the tears rolled down his face: This is the spot on which 1 stood when I saw the destitu- tion of the children and the desecra- tion of the Sabbath. As I asked: Can nothing be done? a voice an. swered: 'Try' I did try, and see what God has wrought"
 With the universal acceptance of the Sunday school movement, and the peo. pie of the present day unable to re- member the time when they have not been familiar with the idea of the Sum- day school and it's splendid work. it is hard to realize that once opposition and disapproval of the movement was and others Sir Charles Reed refer ring to this at the Raikes centennial celebration in London, in June. 1880, when the splendid statue in honor of Raikes was unveiled and dedicated upon the banks of the Thames, said: When Sunday schools were first in- stituted in this country they were fiercely attacked. It is not to be SUD- posed that they had an easy progress. They were attacked by prelates in the pulpit The bishop of Rochester nota- bly, denounced 1t and urged the clergy not to support it; the archbishop of Canterbury was the first man in that day to call the bishops together to consider whether something could not be done to stop this great enterprise Later, the Presbyterians of Scotland, and the Congregationalists of New England were represented among the opponents of the Sunday school as 1t battled it's way into deserved fla vor"
 But this period did not last long. and when the movement came to the notice of the queen, and she manifest i ed interest in the work, fresh impetus was given it, as it bore the stamp of royal favor. Sending for Robert Raikes, the queen learned from his own lips the story of his work and It's progress; and as Raikes himself re-
 
 most graciously said that she enYied those who had the power of doing good by thus personally promoting the welfare of society, in giving instruc- tion and morality to the general mass of the common people; a pleasure from which, by her situation, she was debarred."
 But if England can claim the honor of having given to the world the mod ern Scnday school, to America belongs the distinction of being first in the field with a Sunday School union. if it wishes to go back to the establish ment of Sunday School union at Phil adelphia, which was effected as early as 1791. The present American Sun day School union was formed in 1924, and it is probable that the centennial anniversary of that event will be ob- 1 served. WILLIS s. EDISON.

 W, this year in commemora- SWNy tion of the organization of nS&az the Sunday School union
 A just 100 years ago, 23 years after Robert Raikes started the first Sunday school at Gloucester During those years of expansion and growth of the movement in behalf of the chil- dren, Sunday schools had sprung up in every large town in England, and had found their way into Scotland and Ireland. With the development of the idea, came the conscious need of uni fication and centralization for strengthening and systematizing the movement This was effected in 1903, and 1t Is this great forward step in the evolution of the Sunday school which is to be appropriately observed in Great Britain this year.
 The Sunday school of the present day, with it's session of one hour, it's voluntary and earnest corps of teach CTS, it's circulating library, it's papers and cards, it's bright music, and the dozen and one other features to make 1t the brightest and best spot in the child's life during all the week, bears little resemblance to the schools which Robert Raikes was instrumental in starting 'The children were to come soon after ten in the morning, and

the children of Gloucester The first Sunday in July. in 17S0, was the great day, and long before the school was timed to open a crowd of urchins were besieging the doors, eager for place in the school Immediate success crowned the movement, and other schools were soon opened in Glouces- ter. In those days the teachers were paid, for they not only instructed the children in religious matters, but taught them to read, and the major part of the day was devoted, as all ready stated, to the session of the school Raikes at the time was the editor of the Gloucester Jour nal and used his paper for extolling the results of the work. By this means it was made known all over the coun- try, and soon there were few big towns which had not followed the ex ample of Gloucester.
 1t was a little word, but potent, which gave Railkes the inspiration and courage to undertake the work which was destined to mark new era in the history of religious development in the church and the world. It was the word TRY" Years afterward. when his active work was done, he referred to the incident when first that word thrilled his being and brought him to final decision He was walking with friend through the streets of Glou-

 to friend, written some time after the schools were started:
 Some business leading me one morning into the suburbs of the city, where the lowest of the people-who are principally employed in the pin manufactory-chief reside, was struck with concern at seeing a group of children, wretchedly ragged, play ing in the streets. I asked an inhabi- tant whether these children belonged to that part of the town, and lamented their misery and idleness. "Ah." said the woman, "could you take a view of this part of the town on a Sunday you would be shocked indeed, for then the street is filled with multitudes of those wretches who spend their time in noise and riot, playing at chuck and cursing and swearing in manner so horrid as to convey to any serious mind an idea of hell"

MORSE PREDICTED CABLE.
Diary of Great Inventor Discovered
IN Edison's Library

The Electrical Review in its issue of
yesterday, publishes the diary kept by
Samuel F. B. Morse during his earliest
work on the Baltimore and Washington
telegraph line, in the year 1s4S. The
book was discovered in the library of
Thomas A Edison. at Orange, n. J., and
contains what are evidently the first
records of the practical application of
electricity to the service of man.
The first entry consists of a copy of
the letter from the secretary of the
treasury, J. c. Spencer. giving instruc-
lions as to the handling of the appro-
priation made by congress for this ex-
pertinent. The reply of Morse, and other
correspondence in the diary, give a strik-
ing idea of the troubles which beset this
pioneer work.
The practical inference from this law
is that a Geographic communication on
my plan may, with certainty. be estab-
lished across the Atlantic. Startling as
this may seem now, the time will come
when this project will be realized
Commenting on this, the Electrical
Review says:
How well this prophecy has been full
filed. Today there is no ocean IN
spanned by a telegraph ca BILE This old
takes added interest from our latest
accomplishments. We have completed
the first Pacific cable and have made a
good start on the second. and Marconi
has established communication across
the Atlantic without wires It is diff
cult to realize that this diary was writ
ten less than sixty years ago. Who viii
ments of the next sixty years? New

the standard of living is increasing so
rapidly that it is impracticable to erect
a cheap dwelling house in the center Of
