STATE BOARD OF CONTROL.

The proposition for state board OF

session OF the legislature promises to

through at the closing days. of any
session A matter of such importance
ought to be very carefully, considered
and certainly there is not time now,
when the legislature is at most within
thirty days of adjournment, to give a
matter like this the attention is de-

Lack of Family Life.

Men who separate themselves from
their families pay very high price for
success. Some of the very greatest fail
ures in life in America in recent years
have been failures of men whose lives
and careers are blazoned abroad as
those of great, successful men. Their
sons are noted for their worthlessness,
degenerate sons of worthy sires. These
young men are untitled to make living
for themselves, and they are untitled
to spend the money which their fathers
piled up with infinite pains and labors.
In these cases it is extremely doubtful
if the worthless sons are to be blamed;
the fathers. the great, successful men,
are primarily at fault because, though
they made money and name, they did
not give any time or pains or thought
at all to the most important work in
the world, which is the rearing of hon.
orable and useful men.-Philadelph
Ledger.

acter, we quote from Fergusson's His
tory of the Modern Styles of Archi-

taste that is conspicuous; but the
most notable specimen of the building
art which has been produced, the truly
magnificent Palais re Justice at Brus-
sells, if it were the design of a French
man, would certainly entitle him to be
called the representative of very adj

preme majesty of the edifice-aided
immensely by the majesty of the sit

greatest force, and the boldness Of
the grouping and the play of masses
appear to carry his mind quite beyond
the considerations of criticism; but,
nevertheless, when the design comes
to be architecturally examined, there
is no doubt that, if it still pleases the
eye, it fails in certain particular points
to satisfy the intellect. The impress

largely upon the introduction of GER

reduction to the prevailing style of de-

At the same time she tolerates none
but pretty things, and SO to meet her
various requirements the manufactur-

as zenana. 1t is g. deliciously coy
material with a silky surface and

bination of beauty of coloring, intense

success.
I place zenana first and foremost
among fabrics for winter dressing
gowns, for it is really an ideal mate
rial. Blue and pink are charming
colors for bedroom wear, and zenana
is lovely in either. A zenana dressing
gown should be simply cut but full
enough to wrap well round the feet.
1t may be lined with soft and in
expensive pongee, and have either a
big collar of net or lace, or better still
