That I would linger here.

Where 1 have sat with people and with books
The very imperfections and the scars
About the walls and ceiling and the floor.
The sagging of the windows and the door,
The dinginess that mars
The hearth and chimney. and the wood laid bar
There on the old black chair.
The dear dilapdation Of the place
Smiles in my face.
And am loath TO go.
Here from the window is a glimpse of sea.

If they bore about with them the visible
and unmistakable marks of their hitherto
concealed traits and propensities- A re-
adjustment of values would undoubtedly
follow. Some of those formerly posing as
saints would be suddenly disclosed wearing
red, instead of gold, haloes-selfish crea-
lures, without a shred of spirituality. The
young DESTROYS of winning
Theodore Roosevelt's approval by be-
coming the father of large
family could select as his wife that young
woman of his acquaintance who wore a
lavender aura of the deepest shade The
prevalence or absence of pink emanations
would show how much or how little ones
associates were influenced by hope. Those
about whom the black mist began to
gather could be warned-either to seek
doctor to flee from him. And so it would
go: existence would take on new condl-
tons; ones associates would no longer be
able to deceive US. to pose as truly good,
when they quite the reverse, or to
hide the fact that they are of intellectual
insignificance. The unacceptable color
effects would involve some inconvenience,
especially to female wearers of haloes
Naturally. they would have to have their
clothes to match. No self-respecting young
woman, with pink aura, would think OF
going. about in a red hat, green gown,
or OF shocking sensitive observers by wear
ing blue with her lavender radiations. The
male lover of red neckties, being very likely
to be the wearer of red halo, could con-
tinue to indulge his taste undisturbed. All
these matters would soon regulate them
selves and people be free to enjoy the find
ing out of things about their neighbors
| that they never knew before. The New
York priestess who is teaching the secret
| of this form of second sight is said to be
doing a profitable business, and no wonder.
What could be more fascinating than to
read the secrets of ones friends as clearly
as if they were painted on the fence? To
| be sure, there is ones own halo to be
thought of, but that, of course, is of a
| golden hue.

WOMEN AND INSURANCE.

In a Toronto exchange appears an adj
vertisement calling for an active, ener-
getic woman to take charge of a woman's
department of a large life insurance COM
pany. This is significant of the change
that has come over the spirit of life in
surance companies dreams within very
few years. 1t was not until recently that
any leading company would insure a
woman's life on any terms. When finally
reluctantly persuaded to issue policies to
female applicants the premiums were made
considerably higher than those for men of
equal age, on the ground that the risks
were greater, the women's chance of life
less. AT the same time with charming in
charged higher rate for annuity policies
issued to women, on the ground that their
chance of life greater than that of
men. Thus women got the worst of it
"a-comin' or a-gwine." Even now absolute
equality has not come in all respects, trav-
elers' insurance tickets, for instance. speci-
flying. in small print upon the back, that
women who invest in them recover nothing
in the way of weekly indemnities, though
their heirs may profit in case of their
death. The argument in support of this
interesting regulation is that woman s
time is worth nothing.
Conditions in the insurance field have
on the whole, changed very much, how
ever. Many of the best companies have
| awakened to the fact that women's in
surance is a profitable branch of business
| and have opened special departments in
order to secure feminine patronage, with
rates made just and reasonable. The de-
velopment of this business is an interest
| ing phenomenon.

President Eliot, of Harvard. is quoted as

saying:
The whole superstructure of the gener-
erally-accepted Protestant system of the
ology is founded the literal acceptance
of the scriptural account of the fall of
Adam and Eve. If this account is not
true history, then the whole logical system
built on it, including the doctrines of orig
inal and imputed sin, of the plan of saliva
ton, of grace. mediatio and atonement, of
blood satisfaction and blood purchase and
of regeneration, falls to the ground.
A Boston minister attacks what he calls
this unsound Unitarian creed, and insists
that reason revolts against the denial of
the fall of man and the depravity Of
human nature. because all the facts before
us confirm the claim that man is fallen and
depravod" If the Boston preacher has
been reading the record of Prosecutor
Folks gang of Missouri grafters and the
magazine literature municipal corrup-
ton he has some ground for believing In
the general depravity of man. But not
even the magazine writer's have thought
to charge Adam with being responsible for
the deeds of the Missburians and of the
Chicago aldermen.
