Il grand total of 213l marriages aud 300
funerals during his tWenty-uiuc years of
ministry.
DR. Rudolph declares that weddings
are less frequent than five years ago for
the reason that Young men do not earn
enough money nowadays to support n
wife, and, on the other hand. young
women prefer to "gad Hhvut' ike men in
preference to doing houscwork and bring
ing up families.
DIR. Rudolph SAYS the inability Of
young men to obtain rrmuncrative posi-
tions now is because the young women
force themselves into mems positions
and rs result a good many grow up

The clergyman advises the board Of
education to suppluut the 300 teachers

An Enigma Only to Him.

Whenever man fails to understand a
woman and her ways ne attributes the
failure to the intricaces of her charac-
ter. rather than to the density of his own
understanding.
1t is only to man that woman is an
enigma.
TO her own sex she is as open and
transparent as the day.
She can pull the wool over a mans
eyes a thousand times, but she can't
fool a woman once.
However. she is perfectly safe-the
other woman will never give her away
for the simple reason that she is also
busy pulling the wool over some mans
eyes and has no time to bother about her
neighbors concerns
But should they both be interested in
the same man. look out for squalls
The man will receive an insight into
woman's ways that will give him the
surprise of his life
It is mans vanity that makes him like
to he won by tinesSe.
He does not care to think of himself
as falling a too willing victim to wom-
ans wileS.
He would prefer to be won by strate-
gy. And so he is won by strategy of
sort. but it is strategy that everyone

GOSSIP FOR THE LADIES.

Herbert Spencer, speaking of the elu-
cation OF boys, declared that future stu
dents OF our public school education
would come To the ccaeluSion that il
was system intended for the celibates
OF the community, and that some other
nethod must surely have been in vogue
Lor those destined to fulfill the ordinary
duties Of the citizen. May not this re-
proach be even more Justly leyeled Mt
our educational system as applied to
girls. In the otherwise excellent etluca-
ton provided in girls high schools is the
smallest hlnt ever given that the care
or children il the nobleSt work which
can await a girl in her future
ne Could girl not be taught even in
the schoOlroom that the care of children
Is work which Will call for all her intel
ieCt and all her cultivation, and that the
only narrowness which is to be found
within the four walls of Il nursery is the
narrow outlook which the unskillful
mother too often brings to her work.
The really successful mother. who does
not wish her influences to cease with the
babyhood OF her children, must not only
nave considerable knowledge OF physi-
ology and hygiene to manage the little
ehildren's health, but she must take good
care TO nave an intellectual equipment
which will enable her to keep up with
her children mentally when they begin to
must be ready with intelligent sympathy
Tor all. and every intellectual develop
ment which her children may display.
There is, therefore, no subject which
girls can be taught that may not be use
fui to them afterwards in the care and
education OF children. 1t is hardly pos
Slble to OvereStimate how great differ
ence there would be in the standpoint of
the next generation if by waving a magic
wand the ideal Of motherhood could be
made universally recognizable as the Ill
innate aim of women's education i'm
every girls school and w0men's college
throughout the length and breadth of the
land.
And motherhood should be recognized
as including not only the care of a wom-
an own children, but that of children
entrusted to her professionally. or of chill
dren for whom she cares for the sake of
sweet charity" From the girls educnt-
Ell with this ideal would grow up a race
OF women who would use every modern
intellectual development for the highest
purpose to which women can apply them
ana who would raise the duties of moth
erhrod to their proper place in the lust
ordering of the world. But if a girl for
the hrSt eighteen years of her life is
taught either to ignore or to despise the
work which awaits her, it is difficult TO
blame her if when she grows up she
carries this teaching into effect. The fu-
ture of the race lies in the hands of the
women teachers. Let us hope that they

The Real Working Woman.
Mans work is from sun to sun.
But womau's work is never done

Man work is from sun to sun.
hut woman work is never done
There is one class of women whose
work III the world is not half appre-
ciated.
1t is the class to which the everyday
wife and housekeeper belongs.
She wouldn't change her proud posi-
ton as wife. mother and housekeeper for
anything i'll the world: her position is the
highest and noblest that woman can fiji
but it is not the easiest.
There IS no noSition that requires more
love. patience ana tact than nerS.
From the time she rises in the morning
until she goes to bed at night her heart
head and hands are in constant demand
And even her hard-earned rest is broken
half the time by crying baby or ailing
child
She is the core of the housesold-
round her the entire household machinery
revolveS.
After day Of care and worry and
work she is supposed to greet her hus-
band with Il CHEEKY smile and be ready
for any sort of an evening frolic.
Poor woman; she is often so tired that
she would much rather go to bed than To
the theater, but part of her duty is to he
companiOnable to her husband. and So
she goes i'll spite of aching back and
tired brain.
a mans days work is simple and easy
compared to that of his wife's.
Here are just Il few of her duties:
If she has no servant she must get the
children up in the morning. cook the
breakfast, get the children off to school
in time. wash the dishes, sweep, dust
and make the beds, do the marketing,
have luncheon or dinner ready in time.
wash more dishes, prepare the evening
meal and between times make the chill
dren's clothes.
Iii the evenings there is always a bas-
ketful of mending to be attended to.
Dozens of times through the day the
children make demands on her attention
and sympathy.
Certain social duties must be kept up
and shopping must be done.
Do you wonder she is tired at night?
For all this she gets no great amount
of praise. People look on her as merely
doing her duty
And she is doing her duty. God bless
her: doing it nobly and well.
Poets sing of youth. blue eyes, rose
leaf compilations and snow white hands.
1t would be far better if they sang of
cheeks grown wan from loving care and
watchfulness over dear ones hands
grown hard and rough through much
toll. and eyes beautitied by mother love.
The everyday woman VINO is doing
her duty quietly and unselisly is the
best woman in the world.
The woman who has borne sons and
daughters and is bringing them up to be
good men and women is doing more for
her country than all the millionaires and
ref0rmers put together.
Do not fail to give her all the praise
and appreciation you can, for her price
is above rubies.-Philadelphia Evening

Something About De-
partment In Salt Lake

three additional men for No. l sta
ton arc to man the K. p. Morris
steamer. When that steamer was
placed in commission there were no
men added to the department TO man
IL. Other apparatus has had to be
drawn on TO hll the gap.
Why Increase Was Asked.
At the present time there arc but
two engineers In the department. and
I'm case one of these engineers is hay-
ing his day off the department Is left
without any engineer during the meal
hours. and the three steamers are prac-
tically useless until the engineers can be
sent for. 1t is for this purpose that Chief
Vail asked for the Increase that tho city
might have proper protection in case
OF big fire, when the steamers are
absolutely necessary.
Under the old ordinance there have
been seven captains, three lieutenants
and three engineers In the department.
The new ordinance provides for six
captains, five licutenants and FIVE en-
gineers.
Two Alarm Bells.
What will probably interest the gen
eral public more than any other one
feature of the undertaking Of the fire
department Will be the installation of
two alarm bells in the most crowded
sections of the city One of these bells
Will be located at the corner OF First
South and Main streets and the other
at tho corner of Second South and
Main streets When the fire depart
ment leaves the station on an alarm
that takes It through Main street the
operator will throw a switch which
VIII set these bells ringing and they
Will continue to ring until after the de-
partment mas passed these points. The
bells are the eight-lnch vibrating type
and will be easily heard from South
Temple to Third South, or a block In
each direction. AS soon as the bells
start ringing Il Will be notice TO drivers
of vehicles and to pedestrians to get
out OF danger, and the police will also
be able 10 see that the street is cleared.
Automatic Holders for Horses.
The chief has ordered for all the
horses in the department the Hale
automatic halters. to take the place or
the antiquated ropes that now stretch
across the front of the stalls. The way
the horses are fastened In their stalls
at present causes a great deal OF trou-
BILE and sometimes delay In hitchlng
as the horses oftentimes jump over the
ropes and roam about the station.
With the automatic halters they Will
always be securely fastened, and when
an alarm Is sounded the mechanism in
stantly releases the horse.
