RAPIDLY THE WORLD IMPROVES.

| In spite of exhibitions of greed
and avarice, of selfishness and
vulgar wealth, the spirit of altru'
/ ism is growing-slowly, but sure
Ily. The Money Devil has many
worshippers, but he is losing caste
We are beginning to reach the
point where the possessor of enor.
nous wealth is apt to be scorned
rather than eulogized; where the
man of vulgar millions is regarded
with contempt. There are men of
great wealth who would give much
to have the honest and friendly
respect of their fell owmen. They
have found that there are some
things which money cannot buy.
To be enormously rich is no longer
a distinction.
Men of great wealth have be-
come common, and some very
common men have acquired great
riches. There is no sentiment
against wealth honestly acquired
and usefully employed in the in
terest of mankind 1t is the vul-
garlty and selfishness and inso-
lence of the rich which excites not
envy or malice, but the scorn and
contempt Of those who measure
the possessor by his merits and
not by has wealth.
We have been and are living
in commercial age, an age in
which great things have been
wrought for the country, and
which has added strength and
power to the nation. The merely
mercenary spirit has 3een strong,
out the spirit of progress has not
been halted. The tendency ia up
ward to better things. Advance
ment means that the mercenary
spirit must lose something of it's
grossness that the spirit of the
brotherhood of man must become
stronger, ard that altruism must
become practice rather than q
theory.
Discussing the domination of
the dollar apd the influence 1T
yields, the Washington Post con-
cludes: "a day will come, how
ever-and the history of mankind
from Charlemagne to Rockefeller
proves it--a day Will come when
the good man, and the good man
Only, will be the aristocrat, when
everyone will he his brothers
keeper; when mans chief solicit
tude will be to live so as not only
not to harm his neighbor, but to
promote the happiness of that
neighbor. That is what Christ
died for; that is the resistless and
inexorable evolution of human
life, however slow it's processes. :"
That time is a long way off, but
we are travelling in that direction,
and daily the light grows clearer,
whatever the pessimists may say.

may look upon you if you are the

VIII therefore bow down to all your desires and
behests even before they have been expressed.
lhey may wait upon you, jumping to execute
your commands, and quarreling about who
shall have the honor of fulfilling your desires;
IN family like this, it is very nice to be the

matinee, your mother will present you with the
neck that she bought the day before
If your big brother is reading a book that YOU
think you would like to peruse he will give it up
to you Immediately. and consider that you are
doing him favor by accepting it.
If there is extra piece of pie, that piece GER
tainly falls to your share. If you are going out
and it happens to be raining, your sister will lend
you not only her best silk umbrella, but also her
new hat.
Outsiders will say that you are growing up
spoiled selfish and l&empered but your family
will be unable to any flaws in you The baby,
like the King, do wrong.
THE KID" MAY BE A NUISANCE.
The chances are, however, that you don't be-
long to family like this. You probably belong
to family which looks upon ''the kid a
nuisance.
You remember yourself, as little tot, ask
ing endless questions which were never answered
Asking questions was your speciality. Your
"Why?" was always signal for the family to
disperse, and your inevitable antclimax to your
brothers joke, "And what happened after that?
was always the cut for prolonged groan

you are permitted to show yourself, as, for IN
stance when your sisters STEADY" is invited to
supper on Sunday evening you will be told how
insufferable your table manners are, and how
foolish your conversation is.
You probably will say few things better left
unsaid but your sisters will not take your mex
perience into account.
THE BABY" DOES NOT COUNT.
When papa is buying clothes for the family, he
naturally cannot afford to get clothes for every
body at once You, as the youngest, will have to
wait until last, for certainly your older sisters
must be married off first, and they certainly can
not be if they have pretty clothes.
You are the youngest, and you don't count"
If little trip is planned, you will probably be
obliged to stay at home and keep house for faith
er and the boys, while your mother and your sis
ters 90 away and have nice time. Because you
know you can't tell what nice young men they
might meet, and your turn hasn't come yet
With such a large family, of course father
can't afford to keep servant, and you the
Youngest are the household drudge Your sis
ters 90 out to work every day, and certainly
mother can't do anything
In the evenings, when they might relieve you
by clearing up, they are either too tired or are
expecting company The first argument you can
not combat, for you not contributing to the
support of the household, and as for the second,
it is of such great Importance that it cannot be
overthrown.
If your sisters are going anywhere, you eX-
pected to take the place of lady's maid, and to
rush back and forth from to room in a
wild attempt to execute everybody's commands
at once. You have to fix their hair, manicure
their nails. fasten them up the back, and do a
million little odds and ends of sewing that
should have been done before. OF course, you
are not going, for in spite of your years, you are
still ''too young"
Besides all this, you have to act as errand boy.
No matter what it is nor how far, it is your
duty to 90 and get it. No matter how many err
rands YOU run, you 4e never expected to get
tired.
If you suggest matinee as a reward for your
services. all hands raised in holy horror Just
think of the expense!
If YOU then meekly suggest Sunday-schoo en-
tertainment for which admission is charged
save Silver offering at the door," objections
will be found even to that.
| No, If you go to church on Sunday that is all
any reasonable girl can expect
You say nothing at all in reply to themyou
know better-but you ask yourself why under
the sun you were born the youngest in the
familyG
