The Danger of It All.

Now, this Is the very worst kind of knowledge to give woman. for while there are some women who will keen se- crets as long they keep friendship or partnership. there arc practically none who will keep secret longer than the friendship or partnership.
 Finally. tired of eternal squabbIing and discomfort tired of being imposed upon in the name of friendship. the woman takes quarters all by herself. and for half the money and bother she gets compara- tive luxury. Then what happens? Each afternoon when she comes home the blightlng demon of loneliness descends upon her. From each unlighted chande- Tier and from the darkness of the fire place she can see 1t peeping. In the morning it grins at her from each empty corner of the room, until in the end 1t gets on her nerves, and she can stand it no longer. Then the inevitable happens. She marries, not because she loves the man, not because she wants a home-for If she is a clever woman she can provide that for heFself-but because she wants some one around. In the case of the or dinary woman suppose 1t is well enough for her to marry in that way, for the or dinary woman half the time marries for a more trivial reason than love: but in the case of a woman of the temperament

here means much to the betterment
of the moral life of the city, and
should receive the support of all its
citizens irrespective Of religious be-
lief or affiliations.

Culture No Longer Monopoly Of the
Older Regions.
A publishing house in this city, says
the Chicago Chronicle, has received
an order from the Yukon region for
books expressive of what is now the
far" Northwest. The order includes
Gibbons Rome, Macaulay's England,
the writings Of John Stuart Mill, of
Flammarion and other engaging scien-
lists, graphic novels, humorous stories,
but none bret Harte's. The Far
West of Bret Harte is at the vanish
ing point. A hurry postscript OBJ
served that only letter mail is carried

In TRUTH. there is no longer any
far" West or "far" Northwest. The
rugged and often illiterate humanity
that cleft the mountains and swan
the rivers, opening up new empire
for all the world, is also of the past.
The universal free school sends diff
ferent multitude now to the advanc-
ing frontier. Sturdy but not illiterate,
the new pioneers want books wherever
they go, and science and the organized
forces of civilization enable them to
crafty their taste. Culture is no
longer a monopoly of the older por-

Lies Plans Seem
Sadly Out OF Joint.

If, indeed, the intention was that
life should mean happiness, how sad
has been the laundering! For consid-
er, for one thing, the pitiful ignorance
which has resulted in such tragic suf-
fering to humanity. AS a matter of
fact, man has been cheated of his
birthright, supposing him entitled to
happiness, for has he not been COM
PEELED, unaided, to wrestle with the
problem of fitting himself to his en-
vironment? Through long ages, by
sweat of brow, travail of spirit and
onerous physical toll, he has struggled
to adjust himself to conditions into
which he was thrust. He found no
paradise of happiness free to all. Life
is perpetual struggle, not elysium,
says Vogue. Not only have millions
been the victims of hideous slavery,
but the whole race, from all time, has
suffered cruelty because of ignorance,
the most pathetic phase of this suffer
ing being the unprecedented cruelty
and injustice which results from ig-
norant parentage. Can those who
claim happiness as birthright explain
why sentient beings predestined for

Some of the Popular
Cures for Rheumatism.

American men of science have re-
turned to an old cure for rheumatism,
in the shape of bee stings. The scien-
tific explanation is that a bee when
'stinging injects formic acid which is
cure for rheumatism. What probably
happens is that the patient, after hav-
ing sat for some time on the beehive,
forgets all about the rheumatism.
It is probably the long continuance
of damp weather which has inspired
so many newspaper correspondents to
give the world just now their notions
on cures for rheumatism. We referred
briefly the other day to the American
revival of cure by bee stings-a meas
ure heroic enough to please every ST.
mon Stylites in the world; and now
we are told in the press of cure by

which is supposed to dispense happi-

that it permits northern capitalistic
unholy love of money to combine with
southern parental greed for the tor

signed portion for humanity, then are
life's plans sadly out of joint, for the
most cunning of malevolent spirits
could not possibly devise greater vari-
ETY. or more decorating kinds of misery
than those which human beings in all
grades of society are made to expert
ence. Apart from the inevitable per-
sonal sorrows which affect all, how is
it possible for any but the very young
or the very selfish to be happy in
world where, the majority are miser-
able because of disease, little health,
dire poverty, incapacity, onerous la

the bottles of liquids otherwise medi-

In the town was an octogenarian,
known as Uncle Billy. 1t was Uncle
Billy's habit to step into the drug
store every morning, pass behind the
counter, and help himself to a tum'

One morning Uncle Billy had made
his regular visit to the habitat of the

gist discovered that Uncle Billy had
drunk out of the wrong bottle. He
had taken his potion from bottle of
sulphuric acid. Well, the druggist was
almost panic-stricken. Uncle Billy
had gotten out of sight, meantime,
and the druggist closed the door of his

CHARITY BEGGING A BUSINESS.

Two Young Men Fare Well Raising
Funds for Institutions.

your literature your catalogues, re-
ports, ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS you
have ever published"
And they master that literature and
then they visit the asylum and inspect
it thoroughly. BY this means they &C.
quaint themselves with the character
of the institution in question, learn
ing whether or not the benevolent
rich would be likely to help 1t If it's
case were laid before them. Accord
ing to that likelihood they set their
price, saying they will "beg" for the
place if they are given 10, 20 or 30
per cent of all the money they elicit.
They make, it is estimated, says the
Philadelphia Record, $4,000 a year
apiece.
