Who was it said 'the hand that rocks the cradle rules the world?" Somebody did I know, put forth that proposition, but in the morning of this lovely day in the third May of the new century, am let me confess 1t, too lazy to dig out his name from one of the three or four vol- umes of quotations that are looking down at me from tranquil book shelves about so many feet away I refrain from chas- ing his name up and putting 1t Into type for another reason, namely, merciful con- sideration for him because the modern world, about which he knew nothing is moving along on lines entirely different. In the first place, a cradle with rock err cannot be found in any big or little centre of civilization" The thing has been banished in the interest of science. and the up-to-date baby Is taught to get along without 1t. Anyway, whether she or he likes 1t or not, the situation Is one over which neither has control, and yell ing about 1t will do no good. The only response to the infantile protestation Is paregoric, paregoric, and more paregoric.

In the march of progress domesticity has been swept aside and the electric light of publicity Is turned full on.

MARRIAGE ADVERTISEMENTS.

From the New York Christian Advocate.
 For long time we have meditated whether duty to our readers did not re- qulre a statement ~pon the subject of stances have recently come to our knowl- edge which disslpate the doubt. It might be thought that the women who will an- swer such advertisements belong to low class. morally or socially. That many of them do there Is little room to doubt, but that some of them do not 10 equally certain. Some papers of wide circulatIon-admitted with most unpar-. ental recklessness by Christian parents into their homes-make large sums of money by Personal oolumns' in which half of the advertisements are plainly bids by abandoned women and abandoned men; and the statement that their object Is matrimony is a blind to catch the un- suspecting or to throw the burden of proof on those who might be inclined to proceed legally against the paper as 2 demoralizing sheet.
 Facts prove that widows of respecta. bility. with money, and single women without money have often been trapped by the most heartless adventurers. Young girls in boarding schools or at their own homes in a spirit of fun answer such ad-
  Photographs being exchanged, they inl- ag1ne that while nothing may come of it they would like to meet their correspond- ent. From such correspondence the worst evils often arise. Broken hearts and ruined lives in a number that would nstonish and be deemed incredible if an- nounced have followed. We have had personal knowledge of many cases, of which more than half were in Christian and more than a quarter in Methodist families. The letters we receive from fathers and mothers, beseeching us to institute a search for a daughter who had disappeared and among whose effects were found letters which showed that she had been entrapped willingly or other wise by these advertisements have opened our eyes Moreover Mir Anthony Comstock could strike terror in many communities were he to make known what has come to his knowledge, in com parison with which such information as we have received Is but as a drop in a bucket
 Apart from such consequences, for young women who write letters or send photographs in answer to such advertise- ments is taking a very great risk. Re- gently an adventurer of the sort has been captured. Seventy-five letters from re- spectable young women were found in his possession. His scheme was to engage himself to them and then in some subtle way get possession of their money. In- stances have been known where large amounts have paid under threats of ex- posing the correspondence.

Twentieth Century Woman
BY ALFRED SETON.

experiments They will. of course, in the evolution of the new political machine, have their "bosses" whom they will obey, but that should not be an objection. A woman boss" or several of them, one fer every state, may be the salvation of the seventy-six or eighty millions. Who can tell? They certainly could not run affairs much worse than they are run now. 1t never seems to occur to the wo- man suffragists that the home circle might afford a far more useful field for their zealous endeavors than the political convention. Instead of attempting the all but hopeless task of converting to their views and theories the thick-headed and obstinate and opposite sex when he is massed in legislatures, congresses and other official bodies why do they not att tack him in detail in his lair where they have him at their mercy? But perhaps 1t Is idle to make the suggestion, for to tho great majority of them the opportunity is denied for reasons I shall not attempt to fathom. lar
 Another twentieth century woman, much In evidence, is wrapped up in the past, that Is in the glorihcntion of her an- cestors in the iron days of the Revolu- tion. with it may be, incidentally, little bit of self glorification for herself in the line of illustrious lineage. Far be it from me to question the motives of this fair portion of my countrywomen. The heroes of that day should be held in per petual remembrance, If that be possible, but I have often thought that the meth- ods of the danes" and the daughters" are not the best or the wisest that could be adopted toward that end And here. again, l must fall back on the home to illustrate and fortify my position. My theory is that the children of the century furnish the fruitful soil in which to SOW the seeds of reverence for the men of the first herois period of the nation. No more fascinating and instructive litera- ture can be found than is that which mar rates the achievements of the men of '76, but how little of 1t Is to be found in the refined American home? How few boys and girls ever read any of 1t except the dull. dry narrative of names, and places and dates that is set before them in that instrument of junenile torture, the mod ern school book? Is 1t any wonder that htey seek to feed their famished fancy they seek to feed their famished fancy Ing bandits" 'sleuths." "pirates" Tn dian fighters" and so forth. with which the country is flooded every year? Pre- serving historic buildings, erecting monu- ments, collecting revolutionary relics and documents may be all well enough in their way, but to preserve the youth of the nation and in1ame it with patriotic American fervor, is, 1t seems to me, the noblest work of all
 The truly typical American woman, I am inclined to think. Is the one about whom we see nothing in print. who is not posing for public admiration. but who travels the quiet round of lofty duty in the shade. And we have her by the mill lion, the glory of her country and the honor of the age.

NO MOVE TO CONDEMN SITE
City Attorney Uncertain About Title
90 the shugart Prop
erty.

City Solicitor Snyder has taken no steps
to begin condemnation proceedings against
the E. L. Shugart property at the corner
of First avenue and Sixth street. selected
as the site for the Carnegie library build
ing as directed by the Board of Library
trustees a week ago. 1t is understood that
Mr. Snyder will report to the board at
it's meeting tonight that It is doubtful II
a title can be secured to the property, even
by condemnation proceedings, which would
be safe from possible future attack and
recommends that the board choose another
site TO which a title without any flaw can
be obtained.
Mr.. Snyder states that while II might be
possible to secure a perfect title to the
Shugart property, after tedious and pos
sibly expensive proceedings in the courts.
there are a number OF important points
involved in such an action as would be
necessary which have as yet never been
passed on or finally adjudicated by the
courts Of last resort.
II has been stated also by one Of the
members OF the library board that It would
be doubtful II Mr.. Carnegie would con-
sent to the erection OF the building on a
site. the title to which might be ques-
toned and that in the event of the board
adhering to the determination to place the
library on such a site would withdraw his
offer OF $4,000.
The question, It is expected, will be, how
ever, definitely settled at the meeting Of the
board tonight as the trustees are anxious
to get matters under way and avoid any
further delay II possible. The board is
also expected to take action tonight in the
matter Of selecting an architect to pre-
pare plans for the building.
