the LOBSTER.
Behold" said he. IAN animal destitute
Of imagination. an animal without nerves.
an animal with absolute health and tran
qd:liity.
The speaker paused here and did not sd-
wise his pupils TO just what extent they
should intimate the peace-loving lobster. but
he left them to infer that the most desirable
traits ia the world were those that showed
neither imagination nor nerves.
The popular girl Of to-day has no nerves
OF the kind recognized as such. She has.
TO be sure. nerves of feeling. the necessary
nerves for the preservation of the body.
Without nerves you would never know
when you were Injured, for It is through the
nerves that the body is alarsned.G
If you feel a tingling In ryoYr;arm you
know that something has happened 10 the
arm. and that the nerves are trying'to give
the alarm to you. EIE
II you are shot. it is through the nerves of
feeling that the body is made aEereEof it;
or II you are cut or injured fn.any way,
it is through the nerves that you are made
aware OF IT. y $780, 2
So IT is. really. the nerves are your best
friends. -, 80
But there are nerves and nerves. There
are nerves Of feeling. nerves Of health, so TO
speak. and nerves that. have actually moth
ing to do with the-welfare Of the lody.
These are somtim5s denoted as the nerves
OF sensihility. So "
PERN1C1OUS NERVES.
The pernicious nerves, as they may be
called. are the nerves Of overweight feel
ings-the nerves Of the tired-out or the sick
woman.
The woman who eannot bear the sights
OF the street. the woman who cannot en-
dure street smells, street noises. and the Or
binary r~oughhess OF life. is the woman
whose nerves Of sensibility are too highly
strung for her own: health and comfort.
There was a time whenrit.was thought
elegant to possess nerves of this kind. and
there was a day when the young woman Of
society was proud to display her sensibil-
tty by fainting by turning pale, by becom-
ing hystericals and by sinking supon her
couch to rematrSin a.sern.stupor for hours.
These emotional scenes were highly fas-
cinating.
IN those daSz women tried TO bee5eeb!e;
they ate little. and only sweetmeats at
hat; they slept In corsets to keep the waist
small; they wore their hair in ridiculous
ways; they did all sorts OF things. to de-
stroy their health

Girls should be told the truth
about themselves and about the
world. They should know some
thing of the pitfalls and snares
that beset them. They should
know the beauty of true woman
hood in its simplicity. its con-
stancy and its purity. The high
est ambition Il girl can have is
not to shine in society circles, not
to roll in wealth, not to be hon
ored more than her sister or
friend, but to enjoy pure woman
hood, to be fitted to make a home
with surroundings happy and joy
full, and yet to be prepared, if
necessary, for life's bitterest
struggles The young woman who
is best equipped for this world is
one who has seen something of
the shadows as well as the sun
shine of everyday life. who knows
what poverty is, and what true
happiness is. This experience is
open TO every one who wishes to
find it. Give the girls life's prac-
tical lesson-lessons that once
learned are never forgotten Let
them visit the workshops, and let
them carry hope and comfort to
poverty stricken homes. Give
them a course at the cooking
school, or in the kitchen AZ home
Let them begin where the mother
began half century ago, and we
shall have II generation of girls
strong, self-rellant, hopeful, am
bilious and successful in every

Of the abolition Of the granting Of

Of the abolition of the granting Of
franchises.
Put aside the question of brib-
cry and corruption, and We get
down to this. A public business
should be publicly managed.
The best example of this is the
postoflice. Compare the distri-
button Of groceries and the di-tri-
button OF postage stamps and the
sharp line Of contrast will be at
once seen. If it were possible 10
grant some kind Of franchise that
would permit private company
to supply the town with groceries
trouble ahead would he expected.
But the grocery supply Is IN the
hands of ourselves in the form Of
private enterprise. The supply
OF water is different question.
Existing land laws prevent each
man owning his own waterwork
system, and it is not convenient
TO have the system in COM
mon. 1t passes into the domain
OF public services like the
distribution of mail and should
be publicly managed. In other
words San Angelo should take
such steps as will lead to muni-
cIpul ownership Of its waterworks.
The experience of other cities has
shown the efficacy Of the work.
