A BISHOPS ADVICE TO WOMEN.

Society women are discussing with
interest the remarks OF Right Rev.
M. ]. O'Connor, bishop of Newark,
New Jersey, made in the course of a
baccalaureate sermon delivered at the
forty-ffth commencement exercises Of
St. Elizabeth's Female College at
Madison, N. J. The bishop, after
genral discussion ofthe use of modern
education of women, said:
eff asked to give advice as to the
most important step in your PROPOSE
ton for the ardent and exacting duties
of life, I would say, first, that every
woman, no matter what her wealth or
position in society, should at least for
a time become self-supporting in some
field of modern usefulness, should
make her own living independently,
at least for time.
eff / were asked to suggest field
should point to teaching as the no.
blest profession and thatin which she
may be of most use to humanity, but
in the broad fields of activity now for
tunately open to women there are
many ways in which she may become
self-supporting, and at the same time
fit herself more perfectly for the high
est and noblest of all duties, the wo-
mans true sphere-the home.
"Above all things, would warn
you against becoming that greatest
of modern pests, the idle society wo-
man, who devotes her time to the
performances of what she calls social
duties or following after social plea
sures."

THE GENERATION Is PASSING.

We are in the fifth year of the new
century; and we must soon begin to
realize that the much vaunted nine
teenth century, is slipping away into
history. A time there was when it
were not difficult, among the ranks
of living men, to find those who dis
cussed the great events of the last
century, "as of yesterday" We our
selves (born in the last half of that
great century, recall old men who
dropped into narrative with this pre-
liminary: 'I remember when the
news came of the battle of Waterloo, i"
or "the same year that Lord Castle
reagh cut his throat"
We have met men who knew Tom
Moore men who saw the Pope that
preceded Plus TX; pensioners of the
war of 1872, and men who participa-
ted in the rousing Presidential cam
paign of I84o.
Now there are few living who were
in touch with these episodes of the
last century. The man of sixty-hve
can barely recall the events of the
early SOS; the man of seventy can
go no further back than the '4o's
and the really old man, who has
reached four score years,-.who was
born in I825-fnay have seen the
Duke of Wellington or heard O'Con-
neil or lived through the might of
the big wind" but even then the CEN
tury was we'll along towards its mid
die age.
And as the years go by, those who
remember our great civil war as parti-
cipants therein, will become fewer and
fewer so that when we meet a SOL
der of the battle of Gettysburg, we
and our children will eagerly listen to
a voice as from another age. The
Youngest soldier of the war of 1865
will, ten years hence, be over seventy
years of age.
We shall always have old men.
But the men relatively old to US are
passing and past. We shall be the
worlds old men ourselves in few
years.-7He Mew Century.

DRIFTING WITH THE TIDE.

A great many people drift through
life without aim or purpose or effort.
They noat along the line of least re-
sistance, avoiding obstacles and
shrinking from anything that looks
like hard work. Their great desire
is to get ian easy job" They do not
concern themselves at all as to wheth-
er or not there is prospect of advance
ment in it, whether it offers an oppor-
tunitv for self-development or not, or
whether it is stumbling block in
stead of stepping-stone to their fu-
ture welfare. They have neither
plans, nor program, nor ambition to
guide them. They simply live for
today, and, literally, take no thought
of the morrow"
This happy-go-lucky policy can
lead but to one thing failure. Thou
sands who have adopted it have drift
ed, in old age, to begging IN the
streets, to dependence on grudging re-
latives, or to the almshouse. Many
of these unfortunates, if they had
taken stock of themselves in youth,
or had taken the trouble to find out
their successful possibilities and had
planned their lives along common
sense, manly lines, might have con-
tributed largely tothe service of man
kind and attained honor and prosperity
in their chosen callings.
Whenever I see a youth looking
for a soft snap" I pity him. There
can be no doubt where he will end,
if he does not change his tactics. II
he does not brace up, take stock OF
himself and put in vim, and purpose,
and energy into his life, he will surely
join the great army of the might
have-beens."
Oliver Wendell Holmes says that it
does not matter so much where one
stands as the direction in which he
is moving. IF you are working ac-
cording to an intelligent plan; if you
are trying to make everything you
do a means of advancement to the goal
you have in view; if your great am
bition is, not to make yourself famous,
or rich or harpy, but to make your
life mean something in Gods world,
go ahead, for you are moving in the
right direction and will reach your
| goal. But if you are looking for an
easy place, or running away from hard
work if you are too listless, or in
different, or careless to take stock
of yourself, to decide upon the path
you wish to take, to look carefully
ahead, but not too far ahead, or to
make out an intelligent plan of action
and follow it as nearly as you can, no
matter where you stand, you are not
moving in the right direction. Sac

If we consult the figures of the many
divorce cases that throng our courts,
we will find that where one family
suffers desolation and destruction from
the non-support of the father, there
are ninety-nine families that suffer
shipwreck from the failure of the
mother to do her part. The crying
need of the times is the home-making
woman.
With rare exceptions, the home
making woman must be evolved out
of girl who has received practical ex-
perience from a home-making mother.
To make home happy and comfort
able she must know how to cook and
keep the house in order. She must
know how to sew, and to be able al
least to minister to the simple ailments
of her family when there is need. II
seems to me such pity that every
girl cannot be made to see that home.

FAITH IN YOURSELF.

What would you think of young
man, ambitious to become lawyer,
who surrounds himself with medi-
cal atmosphere and spends his time
reading medical booksl Do you think
he would ever become great law
yer by following such course? No,
he must put himself into law atmos-
phere, where he can absorb it and be
STEPPED in it until he is attuned to the
legal note. He must be grated into
the legal tree so that he can feel its
sap circulating through him.
How long would it take a young
man to become successful who puts
himself into an atmosphere of failure
and remains there until he is soaked
to saturation with the idea? How
long would it take one who deprecia:es
himself, talks of failure, thinks of fail
ure, walks like a failure and dresses
like failure, who is always complain
ing of the insurmountable difficulties
in his way, and whose every step is
on the road to failure-how long
would it take him to arrive at the sue
cess goal? Would any one believe in
him or expect him to winl
The majority of failures begin to
deteriorate by doubling or deprecia-
ting themselves, or by losing conf
dence in their own ability. The mo-
ment you harbor doubt and begin to
lose faith in yourself you capitulate to
the enemy. Every time you acknowl-
edge weakness, inefhciency or lack OF
ability you weaken your self-cont-
dence, and that is to undermine the
very foundation of all achievements.
So long as you carry around fail
ure atmosphere and radiate doubt and
Encouragement you will be failure.
Turn about face, cut off all the cur
rents of failure thoughts, of discourag-
ed thoughts. Boldly face your goal
with a stout heart and a determined
endeavor and you will find that things
! will change for you but you must see
new world before you can live IN it.
It is to what you see, to what you be-
lieve, to what you struggle incessant'
ly to attain that you will approx.

THE PASSING OF THE PARLoR.

A writer in furniture trade journal
refers to the fact that the "old fash
ioned parlor has seen its day and is
not to be found in modern homes. !"
So the fine old institution is going, is
it? Maybe it is just as well that It
should go. It was usually place OF
silence and gloom to the children OF
the household a forbidden place, like
the secret room in Bluebeard's castle.
Nevertheless it was the pride of man.
ma and the ''bete noir" ofpapa, who
couldn't smoke there, and was always
leaving the blinds open, so that the
sun would shine in and fade the beau-
tiful red carpet.
How vividly the pictures of the old
fashioned parlor come back to the
mind. There are the mohair covered
sofa, the mohair- covered rocking
chairs, all very shiny, very slick and
very uncomfortable. The chairs
stood as straight as if their perpen-
dicular had been determined with a
plumb.line, and their seats were
springy and bulbous. The small boy
who attempted to sit on one of them
found himself perpetually sliding OFT,
and then crawling back on again.
In one corner was the "what-not, +"
an ornate affair on which were gath
cred cups and saucers bearing such
legends as "For a Good Boy" "For
a Good Girl, ""To Our Mother aud
the like, in addition to a hundred gew-
gaws and jimcracks defying descrip.
ton. In the center of the room was
the "center table," usually round
with a marble top. On this was the
family album and the family Bible,
the former containing the faded pic
lures of Uncle Ned in ill-6tting clothes
and Aunt Fanny in hoopskirts, frills
and curls, and the latter preserving
a record of the births and deaths for
several generations. The family al
bum was an indispensable feature Of
every oldfashioned parlor. A family
might get along without the wax
flowers under the case, but an album
was a necessity. Visitors always
found it a source of interest, and il
was usually we'll thumbed.
The very atmosphere of the old
parlor was different from that found
anywhere else in the house, or out oi
doors. There was a sort of s'parlor
smell'' about it that, once shifted, may
never be forgotten. This was due,
ofcourse, to the fact that the room was
kept shut tight nearly all the time.
A parlor is, or used to be, the only
room that didn't need ventilation.
The luxury of it had to be kept shut
up, for the purpose of preservation. Il
didn't matter if it was bit musty in
smell; wasn't it the parlor, didn't
everybody else's parlor smell the
same way?
And so the old parlor is passing
Maybe it is all right for it to go. But
we shall ever remember it with ten
derest feelings. 1t was in the old par
lor that he courted Our sweethearts
married our wives, christened our ba
bies and took our last views of loved
ones as they lay with hands folded
upon their breasts. Modern modes
of living may abolish the parlor as i
used to be, but they can never abolish
from the minds of those who knew the
institution at its best the love and ven

When men wish to punish one of
their fellows in peculiar way, when
they desire particularly to show their
deep disapproval of some wrong he
has committed, they do not even cast
him into prison; they do not even
take his life; they blot out his name.
All other punishments which men
have devised from the days of darkest
barbarism to the present sink into
comparative insigni6cance beside the
subtle, searching, complete penalty of
the simple dictum, "Let him be name
less. /"
In the chapel at West Point there
is tablet in which names of the coun-
try's Revolutionary heroes are graved
in gold. And there is one name all
but scored out with sinister bar of
black, just enough of the letters show
ing to enable one to trace the name,
Benedict Arnold" This was the
nations way of erasing the name of
a traitor.
In the regular army the officer who
steals is ostracised absolutely. Not
only is he forbidden to have COM
merce with other officers, but they
are forbidden to associate with him
or to recognize him in anyway. In
his native place he is published as
one not fit to associate with gentle
men.
Blotting out the name of an offender
is not new method of punishment.
It is as old as mankind itself. When
| Job wished to show his adherence
of wicked man he said, His remem-
brance shall perish from the earth and
he shall have no name in the street. "
David also said of the transgressors
against divine and human laws, Let
them be blotted out of the book of the
living" The eternal fire and brim
stone of the earlier-and some of the
later-stern religionists still leaves ex-
istence for the culprit. But man
comes as near to decreeing annihilation
as he can when he would have the re-
membrance of a fellow being perish
from the earth and would have him
walk the streets nameless and un-
known and unrecognized.
To the sensitive man, the man who
has reared structure based on char
acter and embracing culture and social
standing, there must be poignancy
about this sort of Punishment that
searches the very depths of the soul.
To such man the quietude, the iso-
lation, of prison cell is little more
than escape from the accusing eyes of
his fellows. No laws penalty can
add to his mental suffering. He is
in worse plight than Cain, for Cain
bore distinguishing brand. Cain
still had name.
Hale wrote about the man without
a country. But what pen is capable
of describing the feelings, the suffer-
ings, of man without name? He
has been blotted out Of the book of
the living, yet he lives. He appears in
the streets, but without name. His
remembrance has perished from this
earth, yet he remembers, and in this
remembering while all others have
forgotten lies the chief sting, the
deepest thrust of the way men punish
when they say "Let him be name
less" To be forgotten of men while
one still treads the earth to meet in
the eyes of former friends and ac-
quaintances no glimpse of recognition;
to be cipher where once one was
figure of consequence-can human
ingenuity devise greater punishment
than this ?-Chioaeo Post.

WISDOM AND wOMEN.

When woman telleth her faults,
keep thy tongue in thy head and agree
i not with her, for that way lieth mad
ness.
A woman thinketh whom she may
honor, but the man who seeth not
when she stumbleth, he it is whom
her heart chooseth, for he knoweth
not that which he knoweth and his
right hand is even as his left.
A woman whose tears droppeth
continually is nuisance; she is filled
with foolishness, and, like doll that
drippeth sawdust, she littereth thine
house.
If a woman sheweth thee her gray
hairs, laugh not, for they who laugh
over-much, wax foolish and acquire
a girth; make much of her and cher
ish her, for then, indeed, is she thy
great friend who hath thy good at
heart.
If a woman love thee we'll and
asketh no gift, give her all thou hast,
for she knoweth the secret; she hath
learned of life and is wise.
If one should say "Thou lowest me
not enough" tear thyself from her
and make haste in thy going, lest, in
moment of anger, thou doest her
an injury for she is not wise-she
knoweth not the code; she annoyeth
continually like pricker in thy shirt.
If thou lowest woman, besiege
her with thy presence, for even so
are they won. If a woman love a
man and is wise, she will make her.
self exceeding scarce, for man was
born to pursuit as the smoke riseth.
IF thou must put woman from
thee for reasons of thine own, seek
thou first quarrel and let that suffice
thee for the heart knoweth its own
bitterness, but no heart knoweth the
bitterness of woman scorned.
If a woman tell thee "Aye, aye,
the thing is even as thou sayest,
depart from her and keep thy dis
tance, for she createth thirst and
the truth is not in her. IF she say,
"Nay, thou art wrong, for I, even I,
know a thing or two," abide with
her, for better a dinner of thirteen
courses and wife thou canst argue
with, than a meal of herbs and an
amiable spouse.
A friend is as thy pipe after long
swearing off even so to thee is a
woman friend in thine hour of need.
Doest thou thy part with good grace
that thou findest her not wanting at
the test.
Women possess strange ways even
So they weep when thou thinkest
their smiles are nigh; when their
hearts are sore, they laugh; they
look ever for that which is not. Be
thou wise in thy wisdom and seek to
learn that which thou misunder-
standeth, for there is purpose in ell
they do.-B,0adway magazine.

WATER OWNERS.

There is undoubtedly a practical
art of discovering springs, says Cas-
siey's Magazine. Indians or from
tiersmen can find water in the desert
where "tenderfoot' cannot. Mexi-
cans and experienced prospectors can
similarly find ore. These arts con-
sist mainly in the recognition of su-
perfcial signs which escape the ordi-
nary observer.
1t is not necessary that the obser-
yer should consciously note these
signs separately and reason upon
them. No doubt he frequently does
so, though he may not give away the
secret of his method to others. But
in many instances he recognizes by
association and memory the presence
of a group of indications, great or
small, which he has repeatedly found
to attend springs or ore deposits.
This skill, due to habit, is often
almost unerring for a given limited
district, but under new conditions it
breaks down. Old miners from Cali
fornia or Australia have often made
in other regions the most foolish and
hopeless attempts to find gold, be-
cause they thought this or that place
"looked just like" some other place
in which they had mined successfully.
Apart from the magnetic minerals,
there is no proof that ore deposits
exhibit their presence and nature by
any attraction or other active force.
With regard to water, however, there
may be an action affecting the tenn
perature and moisture of the overly
ing surface. Even here, however, it
seems more likely that such effects
are manifested visibIy to a close OBJ
server rather than by direct affection
of his nervous or muscular system.
The favorable fields for water divi-
ners are regions in which water is
abundant, but not gathered upon
given horizons of impermeable strata
underlying porous rocks.

CALL A girl a chick and she smiles,
