In the first place, she points out that there are different kinds Of mod esty, and in the next she maintains that in the sense in which the word is most commonly used 1t Is mascu- line and not a feminine virtue. so Tar as the human species is concerned. "In all nature" says Mrs. Gilman. "the female sex is modest In the sense of being dull in color. simple In form: quiet in demanor. She Is in herself
 the attraction, the eternal drawing power; for her and to her come the males, numerous, varied. ardent, vent l ing their ssuperfluous energies in thousand gaudy decorations. struttihs and battling before her."
 But with us," she proceeds, the male Is becoming more and more mod
 est. He dresses for use; he must pe- cause his use Is social and overwhelm- ingly important. Every man who works must dress for his work; ana only in those primitive survivals the
 military class. the ancient churches and their academic progeny ana the leisure class of still lingering feudal- ism does the male still carry orna- ment.' But our female has been false to the most inherent laws of her sex and adopted this essentially masculine function of sex decoration. She 1t IS. with us, who outdoes the antlered stag in her towering neaueeaf, eho buffalo in shaggy boa and tippet. the peacock in her towering train. She 1t is who shines in spangles like a fish and flutters in the borrowed plumage of the bird (the male bird). She It is-not he-who parade and performs in varied accomplishments. in all the elaborate arrangements. in order to attract the male of her species, who IS her means of livelihood.
 'oThat she should do this Is 'naturaf enough. Nature is no stickler Tor de- tails; she must support life at any cost. and Is as willing to preserve patient little father sunfish guarding the nest of eggs as tomcat who eats kittens. The woman must live. and since the man feeds her sne must at all costs secure the man. This IS not from mere sex attraction. It IS the slowly evolved machinery Of self preservation.
 "The superior splendor of the hu- man female and its unprecedented en1- cacy give only another proof of na- ture's power of adaptation. But 1t Is most obviously unfeminine. being an essentially male characteristic in all species. And whatever else 1t may De. 1t is above all things not modest.

Asbury Park Special.

Asbury Park Special.
 Evidently selected for symmetry and grace. to say nothing of goods looks. twenty-one happy healthy maids in gymnasium bloomers put the bath ing maid to blush in an exhibition of school gymnastics in the Arcade of the Boardwalk this afternoon. The ex- hibition was for the express benefit of the school ma'am delegates to the Euduc ational Convention and what the young ladies did to show their agility made some of the delegates draw long breaths. There were 2.000 spectators, that Is, officially.
 The Boardwalk. during the exhibi- ton, was crowded and an appalling masculine contingent gained access to the rotunda. The young ladies, 1t was stated, came from the New Haven Normal School. and had not been specially trained for today's stunts. Some of those who saw them wondered what they might have done if they had had special drill. They had just come for ward to show the benefits of physical culture. and. according to their demon- strator, to show how acute was their mental understanding.

 F It Is a long, hard pull the teachers have to get to the meetings with the attractions of the resort turing them away from the hum-drum of papers on subjects they have heard metaphorf- cally ripped and cut bias and gored for some years. They get up in the morn- ings after a night of fun and frolic and decide to attend every blessed meeting and learn just the biggest lot of things about how to teach. and the first thing they know they are in . snug bathing suit battling with the waves, or off in a boat sailing, or after crabs, or driving. with the ocean breezes blowing all their good resolu- tions to smithereens.

SIRE TO SON
Boy Can Sometimes Learn from His
 Father.


 When you catch them young enough you can usually make your sons profit by your own experience.
 Afterwards, It's different. A lady tells how her son was made to profit by what his father had learned:
 My husband was always fond of cof- fee, and after his business took him fre- quently into q German community ne drank 1t more, with the result that his kidneys became affected, and he suf- fered greatly with pains and despon- dency, till, as he says. coffee nearly killed me" So he stopped using 1t. and began to drink Postum Coffee. It cured him; and in a very short time his Kid neys resumed their normal functions his mains were allayed. and the de- spondency which had nearly driven him crazy ceased to trouble him. My little boy, year old. had sul- fered ever since he was weaned, from stomach and bowel troubles. He could not properly digest the milk he drank. If passed out of his bowels In hard lunfps. sometimes large and again like small pellets, frequently producing diar- rhoea. and then we would nave 10 call fin the doctor. But the trouole retulh aS. again and again.
 7Es uned 10 give him taste of Post um roffee occasionally, and as I saw that he relished it and realized how much good 1t had done his father. l be- gan to put a f.ttle in his bottle of milk The effect was so salurary that l gr ad- ually increase ed the quantity. till at last | used only enough milk to give 1t color Sc thrived Wonderfully on it, He .s ever two yea-rs old now, and his diges- tion is all right. Postum has made him uncommonly large and strong and healthy. I give him a bottle full four times day" Name given by Postum O., Battle Creek, Mich.

FORTY MILLION DEFICIT.
Nobody at Washington Among the Peo
 pie fin Power Will Hear to Re- vision of the Tarin.

Washington Special to New York Jour-
 nal of Commerce. In spite of the somewhat reassuring statement of Secretary Shaw. given to the public at the end of last week, 1t Is fully recognized in Washington that there is every prospect for a large in crease in the deficit during the com ing month. The June expenditures are always low on account of the exhaus- ton of appropriations. and the July ex- penditures are quite usually high. The matter. however, Is now fully recog- nized as not being one of temporary importance. It Is regarded as perma- nent phenomenon under existing condi- tions.
 This fact has led to an active renewal of the discussion of methods for get ting rid of the danger and restoring the balance between receipts and ex- penditures. While, of course, Tpeas- matter. and in most cases but little in- fuence with Congress. the advice of the upper officers will certainly be asked. Inquiry shows that most of these officers are In favor of either the tax on coffee, for which the Governor of Porto Rico is now said to be at work during his visit to this excise tax on beer. with a possible restoration of the other stamp taxes of the Spanish war revenue system. It is pointed out at the Treasury that tax of about cents on coffee would probably be necessary in order to meet the deficit of $40,o00,o00 which Is now anticipated for the coming fis- cal year. On the other hand, 1t Is stated. the war revenue taxes imposed in 1898 brought in over $100. 0.0o0. .000 each year for three consecutive years. and later. after being amended. brought in about $62,000.000. It Is believed that a properly imposed tax on beer alone would probably suffice for the needs of the case.
 There are a few men in Washington who venture rather timidly to suggest the possibility of retrenchment in ex- penses as means of avoiding the deficit danger. but they are not very numerous. Hardly a man will listen even for a moment to the idea of re- vising the tariff, which of course would open up dangers of a revision intended for purposes other than that of merely raising revenue. Very few members of either Senate or House are now in Washington. but among those who are here the leaders seem to prefer a restoration of the stamp taxes.
 The Idea of taxing coffee suggests possibilities of Democratic criticism and the exploitation of 'the free breakfast table idea. On the other hand, sentiment could be enlisted In favor of the reimposition of the tax on beer. Treasury officers claim that the removal of the internal revenue taxes after the Spanish war did not result in restoring retail customers to the same basis which they occupied before the imposition of the tax.

Iuce0t StAte C0DltOh DUIlu1mB VI AVYcs Cured By Pe-ru-na After Suffering For Seven Years. MT. John L. Siusser. PA N Chandler Street, Topeka, Kan. member Modern Woodmen of America and Deputy In- spector Mystic Shrine, Masonic Lodge, writes:
 q have been afflicted nearly seven years with kidney and bladder trouble and occasionally gall stones. which caused me intense suffering and maoe it almost impossible for me to attend to my everyday work.
 'T spent more than . hundred dollars | in doctoring and found that 1t was only a waste of money, but six dollars worth of Peruna made me well man. "I feel 1t my duty to give due praise to the medicine which made such blessed change in my life"
 The remedy that cures catarrh must aim directly at the depressed nerve centers. This Is what Peruna does. Nearly one-half the people nfe n some way affected by catarFh. There fore 1t is almost national curse, and | 1t h of national import that the people
 should know of Peruna.
 l Catarrh enters the system through lthe nerve centers and anects the mu' cous membranes. Peruna enables the nerve centers to repel and expel tht catarrh from the system.
 Catarrh is an American disease. Pe' runa is an American remedy.

0NE of the most wonderful events in the history of medicine Is the
 multitude of endorsements which Peruna Is receiving as catarrn cure from men of national importance.
 The most distinguished men of the United States have no hesitation in lending their influence to assist in let ting the public know of the merits of Peruna.
 A Prominent Judge Heartily Endorses
 Hon. Dewitt c. Nelles. Topeka, Kas, for eight years District Attorney for the Northwestern quarter of Kansas. and at present Judge of the District Court in the Seventeenth Judicial District. writes the following letter to the Peruna Med icine Company concerning the famous catarrh remedy. Peruna:
 "As I am particularly liable to catch. cold, which at once settles in catarrh and seriously affects my hearing, l am indeed pleased with the help l have found in using Peruna.
 "After a severe attack, bottle never fails to restore me fully to health. and find that by using it occasionally 1t keeps me from catching cold
 Tt is a fine tonic and accord 1t my hearty endorsement"
 Catarrh is a result of changeable climate. Peruna Is a result of long and careful experimentation.

EVOLUTION IN HOUSE-HEAT

In the primitive fireplace the smoke was supposed to pass through an open ing in the roof. but failing in this. says Country Life in America. it escaped, with the occupants. through the handi- est side opeing. The middle ages set the hearth against the wall and built a pro- jecting bod of brick or stone above it to carry off the smoke. Gradually the fire place was built with two fianking Jambs
 which supported it. md thus the present form of fireplace was evolved. As the armorial bearing was a prominent fea- tnre of decoration in these times, it's en- bodiment in the treatment of the fire place became common and the already important fireplace became the central

USE GOLD FISH FOR BAIT.
Two Anglers, in Despair, Buy Therl in Place of Minnows-They
 Fill the Bill.

A pair of Philadelphians who went down to Gibbsboro on a fishing expedi- tion recently. says the Philadelphia Record, discovered when they arrived Tn the Jersey town that they were shy on bait. As the fishermen were out for bass and pike, live bait was necessary: ro small boy was hired to catch min- aows. He scooped in 35, and charged one cent apiece for the fish. The englers paid the price. and then found the minnows too small to swim about sitter they had been hooked, circum- s.ance which seemed to knock the bot tom out of the fishing trip, as. unless the bait is lively, the bass and pike do not bte. The pair had about decided to go h ,me when one spied an aquarium filed with goldfish in store window. He suggested the goldfish as bait, and both men secured a dozen for a com- pt ratively small sum. The experiment was a success. The anglers caught a fair mess and found the goldfish to be very hardy. A pair which had been ussd as bait, and had escaped the hungry pike and bass, seemed none the worse for having been hooked and swan ab put when returned to the aquarium as if nothing had disturbed their mt notonous career.
