WRITTEN FOR The SUNDAY REPUBLIC.
! In the beginning God created male and
| female and blessed them and said unto
| them:
BE faithful and multiply and replenish
the earth, and subdue IT,
! Thus divine responsibility was laid
/, equally upon the male and female God had
| created.
1t Is written that woman in the quest of
| knowledge tasted the forbidden fruit and
brought upon the whole race of whom
! they were the beginning the curse Of their
, Creator.
/ 1t has pleased him to lift that curse
| through woman who was allowed to be
the mother Of his only begotten Son, who
was sent to redeem the world.
Thus woman has been cast down, and
she has been exalted to the highest estate
of all creatures Of his handiwork
He placed in the hearts Of his creatures
tho instinct Of love which was to draw
and keep men and women together in holy
wedlock, forsaking all others and cleaving
only to each other.
Wives arc to submit themselves to their
Observation-Disclosures are to love their wives
as Christ also loved the church and gave
himself for IT,"
He that loveth his wife loveth himself,
for no man ever yet hateth his own flesh;
but nourisheth and cherisheth It even az
the Lord the church.
There Is no mystery or parable in the
commandments to men and women and
their relations to each other.
WomSh have the greater responsibility
laid upon them of maternity, raising and
caring for their offspring through infancy
and all through the trying years Of youth,
and not infreQuently long after their ma
jority.
Mothers transmit to their offspring all the
qualities of head and heart that go to
make up their characters.
Upon mothers rest the care and training
OF their children that are necessary to de-
velop them into healthful. robust men and
women. that they may be able to bear the
burdens Of life.
Mothers are directly responsible for the

OUR OWN INITIATIVE.

Hnrper's Weekly believes. perhaps like the ma
jority of Knckerbocker publications. that New York
is the only city in the world capable of originating
any reform, and thata other cities whether in Rus

wish to perceive the superlative of provinciasm,
they may as well stop where they land.
Not only the inhabitants of the commercial
metropolis but good citizens throughout the country

Of the New York mayoralty election. The bracns

felt in st. Louis and il repeated, might arouse
the Philadelphians from their lethargy" Good for
New York. The country is saved.
The people of st. Louis have deluded themselves
with the conviction that reform and advancement
here were brought about by local initiative, q
sequence of pronounced dissatisfaction over misrue
and corruption After two years Of good government
we sorey regret that we compelled to hear that
the beneficial change is not due to discoveries and
efforts of own, but to bracing breezes from the
Atlantic Coast that accompanied the Low wave.
We have had an impression which now seems to
be entirely erroneous If the Harpers Weekly intim
ton be true, that Mayor Wells Circuit Attorney Folk
and their chief assistants have consistently adhered
to policies of local creation and suited to local condi-
tions Yet it is averred now that their work is at

therefore, when information is desired as to adj
ministration plans it will be necessary to ask the
New York officials what should be done. The st.
Louis officials might njure the municipality if they
act without advice from New York.
The courageous attitude assumed by Mayor
Weaver Of Philadelphia against professional schen.
ers who make money by contracts with the city was
not devised by Mayor Weaver. 1t was brought in
to play by the "bracing effect Of Mr. Lows success

just reached Philadelphia.

No doubt the civic awakening in one great city
has good effect other large cities. Good work
IN Chicago is felt in st. Louis and good work in st

WRITTEN FOR THE SUNDAY REPUBLIC.
Reports from the British Isles and the
Continent bring news Of a curious animal
that has made its appearance In such large
numbers in those localities this summer
that II threatens to oyerrun the earth. and
tnid people have become frightened lest
the native inhabitants Of the country be
driven out altogether.
Provincial writer's. who are much worked
UP on the matter, describe It as an all ILL
hammered brute that is a cross between a
donkey and megaphone. and so loud that
you can hear 1t coming for miles before
YOU can see 1t.
This is. without doubt. the American
Tourist, the most rabid Of which is known
as a Cookie. and is so violent that 1t has
to be personally conducted. but even this
precaution does ont prevent 1t from chip
ping of portions Of the scenery and swip-
ing the tablets In Westminster Abbey.
Another obnoxious variety Is the Skip
worth Leaguist, that may be traced across
Europe by the buns and sandwiches on
which It subsists, and which it eats at UNI
cody times and places Another species Is
called the Family Bunch. but this Is COM
paratively innocuous, as 1t devotes itself to
chewing up guide books and wandering
around cathedrals. wondering why 1t came.
The American Tourist is Of comparatively
recent origin. the first one having been dis
covered by a gentleman named Columbus,
or Colombo, in 1892, who didn't know the
value Of his find. or realize any dividends
on his luck
For long time Europeans did not know
how to milk this useful domestic animal
and realized little profit from It. OF late
years. however. they have gotten wise to
the method, and now. either fresh or
canned. the American forms the chief sta
pie Of diet Of many cheerful workers in
London and Paris. who but for Providence

Poor indeed thou must be, II around thee
Thou no ray Of light and joy canst throw
II no silken cord of love hath bound thee
To some little world through veal ant
woe;
II no dear eyes thy fond love can brighten
No fond voices answer to thine own.
II no brothers sorrow thou canst tighten
BY daily sympathy and gentle tone.
Not by deeds that gain the crowds ap-
plauses.
Not by works that gain thee world-re-
nown,
Not by martyrtion1 or Wanted crosses,
Canst thou win and wear the immortal
crown.
Daily struggling, though unloved and lonely.
Every day rich reward win give;
Thou wilt find. by hearty striving only.
And truly loving. thou canst truly live.

Easy to Cut Figs.

There is great deal easier way to cut
figs for filling for cakes than the old
fashioned way of chopping them in a
bowl. The sticky, tough nature of the
figs make chopping them a long, hard
job, requiring much time and strength:
Take pair of old shears or scissors
and cut the figs into tiny pieces, which
takes but very few minutes You will
be surprised at the difference in time
and strength saved by this method.
Raisins as well as figs can be cut up in
this way, instead of being chopped.
Once tried, and you will never chop figs
again. The white of an egg beaten to a
stiff froth and mixed with the figs after
they have boiled into a thick paste, with
a little water and the addition of little
sugar, makes very nice and tasty fill
ing for layer cake.-Epitomist

FANCIES OF THE SEASON.
Odd Items of Feminine Finery That
Are Now Attracting
Attention.

Among the striking novelties is the
beetle buckle of hard enamel framed
in oxidized silver, reports the Brooklyn
Eagle.
A recent addition to the button CO.
terie is tiny affair in the form of a
Brazilian beetle mounted in a narrow
rim of gold These odd buttons are
to be had in rich tones of green and
brown.
Very dainty collar and cuff sets are
fashioned from Mexican drawn work.
Some of the newest shirt waist but
tons are decorated with art noveau
heads.
Coaching parasols of solid colors are
shown in tints to match shirt waist
suits Of blue, tan, pink, ecru, white,
green and fax shades.
Automobile coats of canvas in a very
light tan tone are favored in Paris.
Belt clasps of French gray silver are
finished with pendants of the same
metal.
Diamondshaped medallions of lace,
so popular for dress trimming, are
being replaced by those in oval form.
For evening wear, white carries off
the palm of popularity in England, and
gold tissue, softened by a certain
amount of white chiffon is having
run of favor.
The corset" coat one of the lead
ing styles of the spring has mate in
a skirt just introduced, with the same
designation. 1t is a graceful skirt,
combining all the newest features in
corset effect and is expected to be
much worn in the fall.
Hat pins of gun metal, in fancy form
and embellished with rhinestones, rep
resent a Partisan novelty.
Indications point to a generous use
of gilt buttons on fancy tailored cos
tunes for fall.
Olive-shaped pearl buttons will dis
pute fashionable prestige with the IA
miliar round variety next season.
Crochet buttons and ornaments in
heavier effects than at present will be
used in the fall.

JUST ONE WISH.

All our lives are some of longin'
Some are longin' for their youth,
Some for eyes that looked in their eyes,
Eyes alight with love and truth;
Some are longin' for the hilltops
That the sun of youth did gild;
But I'm longin for a shortcake
Like Aunt Esther used to build!
For a great, big, thick, old shortcaks.
Like what she knew how to do;
With the top crust brown an fiaky
An the berries peekin' through
Tween the upper crust and under
Let them long for youth I'll taxa
For myself another shortcake
Like Aunt Esther used to make!
1t must be just inspiration
That helps people cook like that!
Helps them mix the dough and knead 1t,
An to slide it with pat
In the oven in the kitchen,
An to know how long twill take
Swear, I'm longin' for some shortcake
Like Aunt Esther used to make!
If a fairy'd sometime whisper:
Here's three wishes, bud, fer you:
Wish fer three things you want hardest
An they'll evry one come true"
Ia say: You keep two, your own self;
One is all l care to take;
Just one wish; give me some shortcake
Like Aunt Esther used to make"
