Legislatures of the States and Terri
tories. How many, do you suppose?
Fourteen thousand, three hundred and
ninety-four Q4,394. And this does not
include the number of laws passed by
Congress. OF the making Of laws In
this country there is no end. Some
body, somewhere, is always at it Did
Blackstone realize when he said there
is no wrong without its legal remedy
what fioodgate he had opened? Ev-
cry little legislator has his bill in his
inside, pocket. How could he make a
record" else? Suppose he should re-
turn to his constituents without hav-
ing introduced one bill! AS conse-
quence the statute books Of every State
are padded with all sorts of enact
ments. Frequently these laws cross
and criss-cross until their interpreta-
ton is the despair of the courts. "Ig-
norance of the law excuses no man."
And yet no man knows precisely and
fully what the law is. What wonder
there should be lawlessness? Here is
the fundamental error: Men suppose
they can sprinkle Thou Shalt Nots
through book, bind it in sheepskin
and thus reform society. All history
proves the falsity Of this supposition.

A man who died few days ago
willed $4,000 each to three women,
any one Of whom he would have been
glad to marry If he had not feared the
other two would sue him for breach
of promise. There seems to have been
a first-class Mormon who went entire
ly to waste.

A st. Louis man has willed $1,000 a

has found out how to live on 20 cents
day he ought to be able to leave quite
a neat little sum to his relatives when
he dies.

The shy little girl who Duries her
face in her mothers skirts on the ap-
proach of stranger makes charming
and picturesque figure; that same
child, become young woman and suf-
fering the agonies Of diffidence as
wallflOwer at party, Is an object for
pity. No woman can be unsympathet-
ic with the sufferer If she has herself
once endured the miseries of self-con-
scious shyness; the fear Of social blum
ders, the sense Of physical awkward
ness; the envy, detested yet cherished,
Of the more easy and graceful friend;
the bitter apprehension that no one
will ever have the desire to break
through the barrier Of apparent cold
ness and discover the real woman. Yet
this shyness has its root In quality Of
character both noble and serviceable-
In that admiration Of the admirable
which reaches to fear. The Germans
have two words for fear-Furcht,
which represents the fear of the cow
ard, and Ehrfurcht, which represents
the fear Of the man already wise, as
he stands before his superior in wis
dom-honor-fear. 1t may seem idle to
try to overcome girlish diffidence by
an ethical argument; but If once the
timid girl can bring herself to regard
the terrifying social group as simply
her lessons and examples, she may
gradually find her fear melting into
admiration, and SO into a wholesome
imitation. Social grace is largely the
self-forgetting ability to put oneself in
another's place. All the easy give-and-
take which is the chief charm Of the
husking in the country or the after
noon tea in the city is the result, not
of genius for conversation, but Of prac-
tice In the art Of entertaining. That
art Is acquired with far less toll than
skill in playing the piano Or in en-
broidery or in cookery.

COURAGE FOR CRITICISM.
To Receive Adverse Comment in
Proper Spirit Opens the Door
to Better Effort

It is rare woman who can dis
tinguish between unfayorable
criticism of her work and disap-
lproyal of herself. The personal
element, so strong in women and
so necessary to their fullest use
/ fuIness, intrudes itself between
the Judgment and the feeling, and
criticism becomes torture in
stead Of a lesson.
The world has long known how
Mr.. Lewes protected George Eliot
from unfavOrable comment on her
work. Not line did she see which
was not laden with praise. Wig
orous as was her mind, says
Youths Companion, she lent it to
her own self-deception, and was
content TO live in Il sort of fools
paradise.
There is one glorious exception
to this lack of courage to endure
criticism. Charlotte Bronte came
of Il brave race. She knew no
pampering. From the wretch
ed hardships at Cowan Bridge
school to the exactiOns of her
blind and melancholy father, her
lifn WAS n storm one.
With what unfaltering spirit
she writes to her publishers as she
sends them a part of the manu-
script of "Shirley:" Il shall be
glad of another censor, and if a
severe one, so much the better,
provided he is also just. | court
the keenest criticism. Far rather
would | never publish more than
publish anything inferior to my
first effort. Be honest, there
fore, allthree of you. If YOU think
this book promises less favorably
than Jane Eyre say SO: it is but
trying again, that is, if life and
health be spared"
Again, after reading a scathing
review, she writes: II am rather
encouraged than dispirited by the
review. The hard-wrung praise
reluctantly from a foe is
the most precious praise of all
You are sure that this, at least,
has no admixture of hattery.v
Charlotte BrOnte weighed every
comment; she remembered every
well-cOnsidered suggestion; she
talked over with her publishers
md her sisters even the most per
sOnal and venomOus attacks, TO
get from them whatever tonic
night be extracted from their BIT
Ierness. She showed during the
alltoo brief years Of her work Il
spirit so unfaltering that it lives
rs shining example to every
woman who condemns herself to
lie a thousand deaths because she
ives in fear.
