Household Work.
And Some Foolish Women Who Cali It
Drudgery.

A letter from a Philadelphia
woman, IN the press" Of that city, IS
so good an exponent of the foolish no.
tons Of some latter-day women on the
subject of household work that It is
worth attention. This woman brings
a heavy indictment against what she
calls household drEdgeTy. She says
that it lowers a woman's social status,
ruins her appearance, takes her
thoughts from higher things, brings
in no remuneration, destroys her
health, and shows no results TO which
she can point with pride If this
woman's notions were a fair example
of the ideas of American women IL
general, it would cease to be strange
that clergymen, travellers, and Presi-
dent Roosevelt are inclined TO talk
after the manner of Jeremiah.
It may be true, among certain silly
people, that the woman who does her
household work lowers herSel1 social
". But if it is so, let the women who
dc their own work form a society by
themselves, and treat their detractors
with the contempt they deserve. Any
iran or woman who sneers at the wife
who spends her time keeping her
home dainty, attractive. and com
Portable for her husband and children
Is not worth any attention whatever.
AS for homework running a
woman's appearance, our grand
mothers did a good deal Of it, and it
Is not recorded that they were inferior
specimens of beauty. 1t Is hard 10 sea

woman's beauty, and much the same
sort of exercise taken about the house

A GeometTical Progression.
Gordon McKay's Request to Harvard
University.

The bequest of Gordon Mckay, the
millionaire, 20 Harvard University,
providing for the endowment of
chairs Of applied sciences, is as char
acteristieally American in certain
ways as anything of the kind that mas
happened IN a long time. Some peo-
pie are inclined to criticise the mil
honaire for not leaving his fortune to
his own sons, but, after all, if the boys
are of the right stuff, they will get
on without it, and if they are not, the
money will be of more use where 1t
Is than IN founding another American
dynasty # wealth.
The peculiar feature of this be-
quest, however, Is the provision that
the salaries of the professors shalt be
increased TO suit the standards of liv-
ing IN years to come. This shows a
sagaeity uncommon among benefae-
tors. The usual course pursued by
them Is to provide a rather limited IN
come for the beneficiary, and assume
that that income, just so many dollars
and cents, will be sufficient for all his
needs in the year 1000. Mr.. Mckay
saw farther ahead than that
There is no man whose wants and
needs are so nearly identical as those
of the college professor, unless it be
the day laborer, and the parallel hard
ly runs true at that. The college pro
fessor, as a rule, Is a man thoughtful
trained, cultivated, sensitive; the
wider his experience and opportuni-
tics, the better fitted is he for hi:
work. Unfortunately, with the widen
ing Of his experience his wants IN
cease IN geometrical proportion, and
his wants become his needs; Other
mems Injuries are his necessities. T,

Plus Disregards Precedent.

Plus X has violated another rule OF
pontifcal etiGuet,e. The latter has pre-
scribed that the occupant Of the Chair
OF St. Peter should never make use OF
a watch. and although Leo XIII had re-
ceived hundreds OF watches. many of
them adorned v; : jewels and Of great
value. he was a rays obliged when he
wished to know ls.e hour OF he day to
inquire Of one OF the prelates in attend
ance. Plus x, however. Will not hear OF
any restrictions of this Byzantine char
Rcter, and persists in carrying and in
making frequent use Of the cheap nickel
watch which was his inseparabIe com
panion when he was Archbishop and
Patriarch of Venice
Perhaps the reason for its remaining
with him was just because 1t was Of no
monetary value. and would have fetched
nothing at the Mont de Piete, or pawn
shop For at Venice he was so free
handed in his charities that he was al
ways in financial straits. having even
pledged his archiepiscopal ring in order
to give the money raised thereon to
some deserving case Of charity within
three months before his election to sue
coed Leo XIII as PoDe.

Was Jesus a Carpenter (?
Ernest Crosby Discusses This Question
in "The Craftsman"

Ernest Crosby, a writer of specula-
tive mind, sees fit to devote some
thought and arguE .ent to the question
whether Jesus Christ was or was not
q carpenter. Tradition says that he
was, or at any rate that he worked
with his father, who was a carpenter,
until he began his public career. But.
Ike many established traditions, this
one rests on a somewhat fimsy basis.
Mr.. Crosby thinks it remarkable that
Jesus did not, if he was familiar with
this craft, draw his metaphors and
parallels from it instead of from the
life Of the agricultural laborer and
the herdsman. He believes that Jesus
was a farmer until he reached the age
Of thirty years.
The question is one Of those which
dc not vitality affect human thought in
any way, and obviously there is no
way in which it can be positively set
tied. But there are two or three cir
cumstances which Mr.. Crosby has
overlooked One is, that the indus
trial system Of the Jewish people was
much more primitive and less special
lied than our own, and in al proba-
bility the man who was a carpenter
was also a farmer and herdsman on
4 small scale, just as happens in rural
regions Of our own country. There
were no labor unions IN Judea, and a
man could do any sort Of work for
himself. or hire his neighbor to do it.,
as his fancy dictated. Moreover, the
carpenter work done in a place like
Nazareth was probably extremely
primitive. We are not to picture the
inhabitants of that little village hv-
ing IN houses finished with wood and
filed with various sorts of furniture
The carpenters trade was much less
Of a trade than it Is now, and its met
aphorical possibilities were few com
pared with those of the far older
work of farming, wine-making, and
strengthening. All these things have
been absolutely overlooked by Mr.
Crosby. He seems to have pictured
TIE Jewish carpenter as making the
sort of furniture turned ont by a
Grand Rapids factory, painted, dec
GRATED, and vanished.
The actual occupation of Jesus Is,
as has been said, likely never to be
definitely known. We are assured
that he was Of humble life, and that
be knew by observation, if not by ex-
perienee, how all the common trades

most delicate member of the British
royal family. Indeed, he was a chronic
invalid and there would always have
been fear lest the princess might have

ROYAL Romance Fails.


The announcement OF the marriage Of

the support and good will Of the Ro-
man Catholic monastic orders and
clergy in Bavaria in overcoming the OBJ
jections of the reigning house OF Wit

of Bavaria has permitted the marriage
of Princess Clara's eldest sister, Elvira,
