The leading paper in provincial
town recently published the following
matrimonial advertisement:
"A young lady Of enormous wealth,
who is prepared to pay off all the debts
Of her intended husband, desires to
form the acquaintance Of respectable
young gentleman with a view to matri-
mony. Each reply to be accompanied
by photo of the sender and addressed
to j. p, at the office Of this paper.''
The delicate hand which drew up
the above lines and thereby secured
a very large number of offers belonged
to no less parsonage than Herr Irzig
Schlaucheles, who had lately opened a
clothing establishment in the town. By
means Of the photos sent in he was
enabled to ascertain which Of his would
be customers were in the habit of leav.
ing their debts unpaid.-From the Ger.

Giant Glass Bottles.

In window Of store in st. Louis
are four bottles which are believed to
be the largest ever blown from glass.
The largest is six feet four inches
high and will actually hold the contents
of 1,5OO small perfumery bottles. The
smallest. however, is over five feet in
height and will hold $50 pints. To
make the largest bottle no less than
fifty pounds of liquid glass was re-
quired, which had to be blown into an
immense bubble. which afterward cool
ed into the receptacle. The blowing
was done by three men. one relieving
the other as soon as he had exhausted
his strength.

The Rod and Bad Bows.

A chief Of police in certain suburb
Of Chicago said recently that 1.-The de-
cadence Of the slipper Is primarily re-
sponsible for the crop of bad boys that
are making trouble for the officers who
enforce the law. This Is a new way
Of putting the old proverb that spar
ing the rod is spelling the child. There
used to be boys mischievous enough to
deserve licking now and then and
manly enough to come to the scratch
at settling time, own up and take their
medicine. The strap or the rod or the
slipper was kept handy. and every Of
Tense had it's penalty. Occasionally a
conscientious father or mother got in
the lickings periodically on general
principles and had their offspring call
them blessed for doing it faithfully
after they had grown up.
Humanitarian ideas have banished
the rod from our newer pedagogical
system, and perhaps that is as it should
be. Lickings by strangers may run
into Partially and even into cruelty
and fail to impress the youth with the
justice Of discipline But the lash is
permitted in the home. and it is the
natural duty of the parent both to the
child and to society to start the young
sters on the good old road of recogniz-
ing authority. Tracts and copy books
impress upon young minds the impor-
lance of learning to say mo" Many
Of them should be taught to say MAY
IT' at an earlier stage Of development.

One Of the sins charged against for

Success Magazine.
 i Nearly five million women go to | work every day in the United States go to paid work. whether the returns be $2 a week or $10.00O year. Sixty years ago Harriet Martineau. while | visiting America, declared that she found here but seven occupations for
 women: teaching. needlework: taking boarders, typesetting, employment In cotton mills, bookbinding, and domes- tic service. Now there are scarcely seven occupations closed to them; they are pouring out into the world of activities, and the five millions will be six. at the next counting.
 Whether or not you or they like
 the change is wholly unAmportant, AS
 someone has suggested, the early eohippus may have resented changing horse and his neighbors may have greeted his development in the mat ter of hoofs and legs with acidly criti-
 cal comment; but. when once started horseward, nothing could stop him he had to adjust himself to the outer conditions that demanded one concen- trated toe in the place of five. In the same way woman is being swept along in 8 great, vague, irresistible wave of economic change, when she turns her face down town in the early morn ing.
 She will pass an alarmist uttering his dismal note on every corner; his warning is prophetic of lost charm, lost power and lost position. One de- clares that presently man will cease altogether to support woman. If this thing goes on increasing, and then how about home and mother? The answer to that-not new. but worth repeating,--is that man never has sup ported woman. TO support means to provide with the necessaries of life. Who was doing the larger share of this, the man who raised and sheared the sheep, or the man who carded and spun and wove the wool, and cut and sewed the clothes?-th man who shot the bird. or the woman who plucked and cooked it?--the man who provided the yarn, or the woman who knit the stockings? It is a fairly even matter, this support" in the days when most of the human needs were worked out under each individual roof.
 In number homes, where the neces saries are bought instead of made and yet there is but one source of money, we often get a picture of a shrivel- ing. careworn father staggering under a weight of strumming, embroidering, spending daughters that make us re- joice in that swelling five million at their gainful occupations. How can they do 1t. these kindly, careless srls; and what will become of them when they have worked their victim to death? Surely some change in a sys- tenn that allows such uneven burdens need not make us fear a lessening of woman's intrinsic value; she will have gained in every sense when she becomes ashamed to rest her healthy young weight on overworked shoul-. ders. That by going to work she competes with man and reduces 'his earnings Is a problem for professional economists to struggle with; though it has been suggested that, as a pro- ducer she always has competed with man.
