EFFECTS OF MONEY.
Interesting Study of Results of inner
tied Wealth on Families.

Interesting Study of Results of Inher-
tied Wealth on Families.
An interesting contribution to the
study Of the effects of money on fam
lilies can be made by any person Of
statistical inclina tons who will take
the trouble to trace out for few
generations the history Of a score or
two Of our very rich families, and
learn what effect the requirement O.
a big fortune by any individual Amers
can has had on the divorce record OF
that individual and his descendants. It
is early yet to get results that would
prove much, because most OF the great
American fortunes are pretty
new; but already tendencies seem to
be showing themselves which it would
be worth while to trace back. There
are believed to be about 1000 million
aires in the United States; enough to
give a statistician an ample field to
work in. A fortune sufficient to make
life easy and comfortable is probably
promoter Of domestic happiness, but
still it seems likely that rich people or
their descendants get more divorces
than poorer people do. In the first
place, heirs and heiresses are more ex-
posed to the wiles of the designing
than the scions of poverty, and for
that reason are somewhat more likely
to make unwise marriages. Again, the
rich, as rule, have more leisure than
the poor, are not so steadily and effec-
lively disciplined by work, are less
safeguarded by wholesome routine,
and cast about more widely and con-
tinuously for pleasures. Satan, as
heretofore, finds mischief still for idle
hands to do, and some Of the mischief
results in divorce. Moreover, the rich
are somewhat more used to self-in-
diligence and having their own way
than the poor. They can meet the ex-
pense of divorce, which is often con-
siderable, can go as far as is neces-
sary, stay there as long as is neces-
sary to gain divorce on convenient
terms; and they can afford to break
up families without fear Of want.
Many a wife sticks to a bad husband
| because she and her children need his
support; many husband puts up with
an unsatisfactory wife because he can
not afford to try a new one. Divorce,
like the appendicitis operation, is
luxury, and comes high.-Harper's
Weekly.

way except when in actual service.
AS will be seen, the device consists Of
a fiat plate, lying flush With the sur
face Of the sidewalk and provided with
an elongated slot in the center. At
one end Of this slot the plate is in
dented slightly, to support circular
button attached to the strap which
supports the weight. The opposite end
of the slot is cut away to permit the
passage Of this button, which slips
through the opening and into the we'll
to allow the strap to be lowered full
length when not in use, but supports
the weight when the strap is pulled
up out of the we'll to hitch the horse.
Thus the animal is not obliged to sup
port the hitching weight until it starts
to pull away, as the strap hangs loose
and the weight is suspended from the
plate.

spects in which Louise, crown princess
Of Denmark, is noticeable among wo-
men with royal blood in their veins.
AS the mother of no less than eight
children, she would have the hearty
approval of President Roosevelt,
whose good opinion, by the way is
beginning to be valued on the other
side Of the water even by royalties.
The crown princess has four sons and
four daughters, the youngest of them
all being little Princess Dagmar, who
was born in 1890.
Most Of the mothers fortune will
pass to the princess eldest son, Prince
Christian, who married in 1898 Prin-

The Dressing Sack Woman.

There is a popular delusion to the
effect that household tasks require
slipshod garments and unkempt hair.
Let the frowsy ones contemplate the
trained nurse, and in her spotless uni
form, with her snowy cap and apron,
and her shining hair. Let the doubt
ing ones go to cooking school and see
a neat young woman in blue ging-
ham gown and white apron prepare
an eight-course dinner and emerge
spotless from the ordeal. One who
cleans is to be considered the directing
force rather than the rag, and it is not
essential to assume intimate personal
possession Of foreign substances.
The woman who puts on an apron
over her dressing sack by that act
openly proclaims that the thing would
be better if it was belted in. Then
why not a shirt-waist? Does one ever
see a trained nurse in a dressing sack,
even when she does heavier work than
any other woman is ever called upon
to do? If a woman in the uniform OF
a trained nurse can do the manifold
things assigned to her calling, surely
the laundress and the cook do not need
dressing sack.
There is a cynical adage which runs
thus: strangers for help, friends for
advice and relatives for nothing" Few
of us will be bold enough to say there
is no truth in it, and the reason is not
far to seek. Who should help us if not
those who always see our best side?
Strangers think us charming, friends
admit, but p!rdon, our faults, and rel
atives fight with u.s.
We make our houses spotless for a
stranger, but friends can take us as we
are For the new acquaintance there
is purple and fine linen, while we offer
our friends cold potatoes and remnants
Of pie. The solid silver and dainty
embroideries are put away for the
stranger, while ones husband, who, in
a way, is a relative by marriage, eats
left-overs out of nicked dishes and con-
templates a dressing sack between
outhfuls.-Myrtle Reed, in the Pill

pEsER-rIONS FROM THE NAVY.
Number is Very Small and Has De-
creased in Recent Years.


creased in Recent Years.
'The percentage of assertions in our
navy is not greater than ~ per cent
It is not true that they are whole
sale assertions from the United States
navy. There are assertions, of course
but, judging by recent reports, the
matter has been largely overdrawn
and exaggerated. The actual percent
age of assertions from the navy is
not as great now as it was in 1891,
1892 and 1893 Statistics show that
desertions were heaviest in those three
years. 1t was never known why"
This is the statement of Surgeon
Andrew NJ. Moore, United States navy.
in the New Orleans Picayune.
''The recruiting service" continued
Dr. Moore, lis now better systematic
ed, better conducted and with better
results than it ever was before.
About S712 per cent Of the recruits
are American-born young men, which
is most satisfactory, because for many
years a large percentage Of the naval
recruits were Of foreign birth. The
recruiting office i'll Chicago, which was
established in 1897, has no trouble
in securing all the recruits needed. Up
to the last Congress the navy required
only $4,000 enlisted men and 1900 ma
rines. The last Congress increased
the enlistment 5000. Altogether, our
navy at its full strength numbers 3S.-
500 enlisted men Of the various grades,
including marines.
MANY good recruits come from the
interior. They are usually procured by
writing letters to postmasters for the
names of young men the postmaster
thinks would like to see naval service.
When replies are received from these
letters others of the same sort are
mailed to the addresses furnished, and,
in turn, other letters are sent out to
these replies.
mot only are the lists kept con-
stantly full, but we are steadily rails
ing the standard Of enlistment.
think the percentage Of desertion from
the UnlCou States navy Is mucn great
Ell than from foreign nayies, which is
probably due to the fact that in our
service better opportunities are offered
to ambitious young men. The enlist
ed men of the navy see a great deal
of the world, and, American young
men, being quick tosea ad antages, have
greater temptations to desert than in
European navies, for in any of those
he would have few places to so in
which he could better himself. Our
men are better fed and better cared for
than in any foreign navy. We have
not so large navy. England las
probably 125,0OO enlisted men, but we
do not need so great a navy"

Various conjectures as to the part
cial and economic affairs of the new
time have been offered by educators
and sociologists. Not "a few have ex-
pressed some doubt as to the value OF
the higher education to the young
woman who is to embrace the voca-
ton Of wifehood and motherhood.
Many have not hesitated to question
the utility Of an education that has so
little bearing upon the duties incident
to the ordinary sphere of womanly ac-
tiyities.
In an address Of much force deliv-
cred before the graduating class at
Vassar College Whitelaw Reid defined
the place Of the college girl and the
range Of influence which her training
and knowledge may take in the social
and economic world. Outside the i'm
mediate and inestimable effect on the
family, tae conservative power OF ed
ucated women, in the opinion Of Mr..
Reid naturally will show it's influence
on social life. Their influence will
check the degradation of social life,
the constant craze for newspaper pub
licity, and the evils that come from
excuses. This influence, he declared,
may infuse moderation into our new
and admirable devotion to athletics.
1t may also restore sanity to our ''char-
ity run mad."-Chicago Record-Herald.

The Quiet Farm Life.

1 would not try to make every boy
a farmer, or every girl farmers
wife, but it does seem to me that we
should impress upon the children that,
while the opportunities to make great
fortunes will not often open to them
on the farm, there are less failures
among those engaged in our business
than any other. When we read eulo-
gies on the captains Of industry, who
have accumulated fortunes in mining,
commerce and manufacturing, we do
not hear of the poor miserable privates
who have fallen by the wayside, finan-
cial, moral and physical wrecks.
Do not teach the children that life's
pathway is strewn with thorns and
brambles in all directions. Too much
teaching has already gone forth, and
the masses are pushing, crushing, surg
ing and jostling against each other,
even to madness and destruction. Still,
in all this wild rush, we occasionally
see individuals who are quietly and
gently, with a pleasant word and
smile, making their way through the
seething mass of humanity, almost
without disturbing it, and reaching the
desired goal. 'As sorrow and weeping
may endure for the night, but joy

The requirements of health can be
counted on the fingers of one hand.
They are good air, good food, suitable
clothing, cleanliness and exercise and
rest The first two requirements affect
the blood, and as the blood circulates
all over the body, including the brain,
every part is affected. Fresh air affects
the purity Of the blood. The freshest
air is out of doors, and it is the duty
Of everyone to spend certain amount
Of time in the open air. Good foods is
not necessarily expensive food. Ex-
ercise and rest should alternate and
balance each other. 1t is quite DOS
sible to take too much exercise. and
this side of the question must be guard
ed against as carefully as the other.

Heat Exhaustion.

Heat exhaustion, says trained
nurse, is a very different thing from
sunstroke. In fact, its symptoms are
directly opposite from those Of sun
stroke. In heat exhaustion the skin
is cold and clammy and the tempera-
ture is sub-normal. The patient often
loses consciousness and looks deathly
pale. The condition is not as serious
as sunstroke, but it is dangerous and
should receive great care. If at any
time during the hot season one feels
weak, with indistinct vision and dis
turbed mind; if there Is a ringing In
the ears and a sense Of prostration, it
is time to stop work and seek medical
attention Aromatic spirits Of am
monia, a teaspoonful in wineglass
of hot water, is good remedy to take
before the doctor comes. Black coffee
is another good stimulant A cold wet
cloth may be applied to the head and
a hot water bottle to the feet.-Phila

Practical Hitching Device.

Until the last horse-drawn carriage
and delivery wagon has been taken
off the streets and replaced with the
horseless vehicle, the driver will con-
tinue to leave the animal united at
frequent intervals, and something will
happen which will cause a runaway.
If every property owner would pro-
vide a hitching post and every driver
would use 1t, runaways would grow
scarce. but hitching posts are the ex-
ception in the city streets, no doubt
because of their unsightliness on the
curb. This need not be the case il

Cure for Headache.

Headache is perhaps the most COM
mon ailment mortal flesh is heir to.
A very simple remedy, often found
to relieve the most violent headache, is
this: Take a small quantity Of black
pepper and put it in piece Of fine
linen, then fold over SO the grains will
not fall out and wet the whole band
age with camphor. Place it across the
head and lie down on your back. The
pain will have ceased In very short
space Of time and the patient will fall
asleep. When the camphor dries out
Of the linen, if not relieved, saturate
it again. A mixture Of ice and salt in
proportion Of one to one-half tied up
in a linen cloth and held to the head
will often give relief. For sick head
ache take a glass two-thirds full of
finely shaved ice, the juice Of one lem
on and a teaspoon Of sugar. This mix
ture, eaten slowly, will allay feverish
thirst and quiet the disturbed stom-
ach. Bilious headache may often be
relieved by drinking two teaspoonfuls
Of finely powdered charcoal dissolved
In half a glass Of water. A powder
should be taken one hour later.

The Work of Women.

The position of rich and idle wom-
an, bedded in a luxurious home, with
all the arts and crafts ministering to
her personal qualification and the ex-
tension Of her vanity, from body to
dress, from dress to home and furni-
ture, and with all the endless "trip
peries Of display, is one Of painful
abnormality. A woman working all
the time In her home is primitive, but
genuine. She represents an early Pc
Rod Of development, it is true, but one
of use and beauty and righteousness
in it's time. A woman who works
neither in the house nor out of it, who
greedily accepts all that human labor
and human wisdom and human skill
can do for her. and who does nothing
in return for any human creature-this
pitiable being can only be regarded as
morbid by-product Of the home. She
does not make the home, she does not
pay for it, she does not serve, and she
has no vial use or place either in the
home or in the world; yel she is, In her
way, an inevitable result of too much
home-just as a toiling, narrow-minded
drudge is another-Charlotte Perkins
