WHEN VISITING is PLEASURE.

After all is said and done, visiting
friends must always be the most deli
cate of pleasures. OF all forms of
social enjoyment, well-chosen house
party is perhaps the most complete
and satisfactory. 1t is only during
such short vacations (and on board
ship that the CALLING harness of ev-
ery-day routine drop. completely from
ones weary shoulders; it is there
only that we escape entirely from the
myriad little cares and worries that
lie in wait for us outside. On look
ing back, many of us will be surprised
to find how most of our truest friend
ships date from the occasion offered
by a visit. One may go on meeting
people for a decade at formal enter
tainments, and at the end of that time
know less of their real selves than is
revealed by one short weekend
passed together under a congenia1
roof-especially if it be a home where
the welcome is sincere and the liberty
is complete, and where the host and
hostess have taken the trouble to
sleep from time to time in their guest
chambers. From Eliot Gregory's
Visiting in a Country House" in the
August Century.

HOW TO REACH A DECISION.

If indecision runs in the blood you
inherit, arouse yourself and strangle
this insidious foe to your achievement
before it saps your energy and ruins
your life chance. Do not wait until
tomorrow, but begin to-day. Compel
yourself to develop the opposite quail
ity by the constant practice of firm
decision. No matter how simple the
thing you are called upon to decide,
be it the choice of hat or the color
or style of a garment, do not vacil-
late. Throw all the light possible on
whatever you have in hand for de-
cision; weigh and consider it from
every point of view; call your COM
mon sense and lest judgment to your
aid before reaching a conclusion, and
then, when you have once made your
decision, let it be final. Let there be
no going back, no reconsidering, and
no opening the matter up for further
discussion. Be firm and positive. De-
clare the polls closed.-Orison SWEET

MYTH THE WORLD'S
~ BEST WQITERS\
&
LIFE, DEATH AND LOVE.

A woman lay with closed eyes and
quiet breath waiting to welcome an
angel whose presence seemed to over
shadow the white-curtained room. A
man knelt beside the bed, the wom-
ans hand pressed close in-his against
his cheek, while his lips moved as if
in prayer.
In the room were Life, Death and
Love.
What have you given herr" ques-
toned Death of Life.
Il brought her my best gifts" an
swered Life; youth, health, beauty,
joy and Love-
HAS Love brought her good gifts ?"
again asked Death.
Said Love with wistfu1 eyes, 81
brought her brave, bright hours, sun
shine and laughter, happiness and
glory in living, and then heavy cross.
The sunshine she shed all about her,
even with the fading of Life's glory;
the cross hidden deep in her soul cast
cut self and made new radiance and
beauty there"
Let her come to me-" said Death.
Life had much to give, but peace and
rest are not for Life to bestow. Love
would give all, but must reckon with
the human heart. I will crown and
giorify and bless her"
Life fed from the quiet room with
a sigh and one whispered, tender
word; but Love fingered, brave even
in the full presence of Death.
What of him. said Love, pointing
to the kneeling figure.

JEW THAT SHAKESPEARE DREW

Most people appear to think that
Shylock must either be a demon or
a savior. He is, in truth, mixture
of both-the mantle Jewi Once
more the poet shows the impartiality
of the Judge in dealing with Shylock.
He presents in him the vices as well
as the virtues of his race Domestic
ity is one of the Hebraic virtues. The
love of his daughter commends him
to our ympathies-anon his vengeful
and cruel nature commands our CEN
sure. 1t is, therefore, ridiculous to
present Shylock as a merely sympa-
thetic character. OF course, the Gull
mination of suffering creates sym
pathy with any man, and, while laugh
ing at his preten SiOns, we weep at
his griefs. There can be no doubt
that at the time Shakespeare wrote
The Merchant of Venice the Jews
were not regarded with high favor,
and Shylock's first speech shows he
is informed by the spirit of revenge.
1 do not deny that Shy1ock had just
cause to be angry, and it has been
said that revenge is a primitive form
of justice. But just when we begin
to think that Shylock is becoming
the martyr-hero of the play, and that
all our sympathies are meant for him,
Shakespeare, the altruiSt, enters upon
the scene and gives us the immortal
speech on the quality of mercy, which,
bursting the walls of the narrow
court, breaches to humanity the eter-
nal message of Christian forgiveness.

MAKE ONLY TO SPEND.

We make more than others, but we
spend both carelessly and for advan-
tage. The American mechanics home
is frightened by pictures; well-made
furniture, carpets and tableware are
for his use; he has books on the
shelf; has a parlor organ, or even
piano; he goes to the play once in
a while, and expects a few holidays in
the summer. when he can visit some
crowded seashore. The American pro
fessional man lives in his own house
or comfortable apartments, and
dresses and lives nearly up to his in
come, no matter what it is. He is
never averse to receiving large fees.
but he is averse to storing them away
in vaults. And this easy getting and
free spending give to us a larger view
of life than can obtain among people
who are forever counting the pennies
and trying to minimize expenditures.
Such people will have few of the
wholesome pleasures that we enjoy
end their lives will lack range and
variety. The individual who works
for $40 a week and saves 50 of it is
your true type of money-maker, but
he is not an Brooklyn
Eagle.

Why "GraduaI?"

In one sentence denouncing protec-
ton as robbery, almost the next
phrase of the Democratic platform
guarantees the gradual revision of
the existing protective tariff What's
that? Protection a robbery that is to
be corrected "gradually?" 1t is as
though a thief caught red handed
stood in the prisoners dock to be thus
addressed by the Judge:
81 find you, sir. convicted of picking
pockets. The sentence of this court is
that you gradually revise your thiev-
ish propensity, and that you diminish
the number of pockets picked from
day to day and from week to week,
until finally you will cease altogether
to pick pockets You may 60"
If it be true that protection is rob-
berry," then there should be nothing
gradual about suppressing the fell
onious policy. 1t ought to be instantly
stopped. If it be not true, as every
person of common intelligence knows
it is not; but If protection is, on the
contrary, a system and a policy under
which millions of homes have been
made happier and our country has
gained the foremost place among all
the nations of the world, then the
Democratic party should be held un-
worthy of confidence and undt to
undertake the management of national
affairs. And that is what is going to
happen

TOADS, $50 EACH.

The wonderful insect-killing capac-
fty of the toad is known in general
way to the enlightened few, says
Country Life in America. An i'm
ported colony of toads may be the
salvation of a flower garden. We
now have some interesting figures,
which show that every toad in the
garden may be worth $40 or more.
Many gardeners give their children
a cent apiece for every cutworm de-
stroyed, considering this a low esti-
mate of the damage caused by these
insects. From May 1st to August LIST,
a toad may destroy 2,160 cutworms,
which it would cost S21.60 to destroy
by hand. English gardeners are said
to pay as much as S25 per hundred
for toads for colonizing purposes.

WOMEN ON THE GOLF LINKS.

Golf is a grand old game, of course.
but it's widespread popularity in this
country, it's marvellous growth here in
the last few years, is largely due to
the interest that is taken in it by
young women. If it were not for their
presence in goodly numbers on the
links no such public favor as golf has
met with would have been recorded
1t is a repetition of the old story of
the opera season; the presence of
pretty women in the boxes makes us
all pretend to love music and crowds
