Who Is Responsibles

Wherever in all the world the spe-
cial gifts of women are needed, there
is woman's sphere, says wise woman
writer. The qualities that differenti-
ate woman from man are affection,
quick sympathy, intuitive perceptions,
gift for sweet ordering, arrangement
and decision; while man is the creator,
defender and discoverer. Each is es-
sential to the other, and each should
enter in some degree into every phase
of the others life. This disposes of the
drawing Of arbitrary lines If men
will become truly manly and woman
truly womanly, both will gravitate to
their rightful place in any age Of the
world.
If man today were the brave and ten
der lover and protector he is intended
to be, he would have no occasion to
complain that woman has grown in
dependent and even entered into COM
petition with him. 1t is because men
have first been deficient in wisdom that
women have come to seem deficient in
love-

has made a great mistake. The best
times that a girl can have is through
the married women she knows. It
may seem good fun to bat around with
men, and some girls seem to think It is
a sign Of cleverness to say that they do
not like women, but in the end these
girls don't have as much fun as those
who know women as well as men.
To lose good old friendship OF man
a girl has known many years simply
because he is married is pity, and
many times quite unnecessary. A lit
tie tact and thoughtfulness will make
the wife quite as good friend, too,
and instead of losing one by the change
a girl will gain another.

Reform in housekeeping Methods.

Reform I'm Housekeeping Methods.
With women who keep help the dish
washing after the evening meal pre-
sents no more inconvenience than any
other part Of the days work; but with
women who are their own kitchen gen.
fuses, as many must perforce be ID
this day Of scarce domestic service.
washing the evening dishes is the
greatest bugbear of the day.
Then, especially in summer, the
housewife wants to be daintily dressed
and to be free to spend the evening
hours with the man of the house. Moth
ing prevents this, but the great stack
of dishes to be washed up.
Now, why cannot the dishwashing
be as Systematically and sensibly done
as the rest Of the homework? Why
dabble over the dish pan three times
a day? There really need be but one
dishwashing done each day. If the
dishes are cleaned with the pliable
blade of a palette knife, they can be
piled up neatly overnight The work
of doing the whole batch at once, In
the morning hours, is not half the trou-
BILE it is to do them at night, when
dressed for the evening.
Every housekeeper should have, too,
a dish rack in which the dishes, after
rinsing, are left to dry. It is simply
an ancient fetch that wiping with a
towel is required. In ideal kitchens in
modern palaces the dishes are never
dried. The finest china and glass are
finished by placing in the rack to dry,
and it may be added are kept brighter
by this means.
There is no reason why dishes should
be washed three times a day, nor why
the dish towel should be adhered to-
no reason except that women lack mi
tiative. The average feminine is a
creature of habit; she clings to unnec-
essary and foolish ways for no better
reason than because her mother, and
grandmother did things so.
1t is the hardest thing in the world
for her to revolutionize her housekeep-
ing; yet no profession, occupation or
job on earth stands in greater need of
revolutionizing.

Of the famous old West Indiaman, King
George, says writer in the New York
Herald. This yarn is backed up by
the records Of the British admiralty,
so, of course, it is true. She was
wrecked in the year 1889, during a
hurricane that devastated the coast Of
Cuba and the West Indies generally.
Every man, woman and child aboard
Of her was lost, and the ship herself
was stripped Of her top hamper, masts
and spars and went drifting, a hope
less wreck, "bawd to all disaster"
She was first reported by a ship Of
the same company some hundred miles
north of the point where the storm is
supposed to have struck her. Men
were sent aboard her from her sister
Indiaman and reported that she was
sinking rapidly. After that she was
never completely lost to sight for the
best part Of five years, when she van
ished in a storm off the Grand Ca
naries. In that time she had drifted
upward Of 10000 miles, and had been
the direct cause of at least four wrecks
and the indirect cause Of three more.
Her travels were strange enough, espe-
cially at that time, when the locations
of the ocean currents were only vague
ly guessed at by the most speculative
of mariners. She journeyed north
ward and eastward from the Gulf of
Mexico to the British Isles, and then,
making a long curve, to the west
coast of Africa. During all that time
she was constantly reported by pass
ing ships, many Of whom sent men
aboard of her. At last the British
government dispatched a man-of-war
after her, with orders to blow her up.
Instead the frigate ran on reef and
was wrecked. Another, the Daphne,
was then sent out, but she encountered
shaving dhow and was sunk in the
ensuing fight,
By this time the whole English
speaking seafaring world was agol
over the mystery. When third war

Neither he nor Zeno could sit still
They prowled stealthily here and there,
doing unnecessary things, and now and
again exchanging a whisper. Once or
twice the doctor took Dobroski by the
wrist and counted his pulsation. Once he
lifted one of the sleeping mans eyefids
and stared fixedly at the unseeing eve
that looked hard at him.
'The carriage is here" said Zeno when
half an hour had gone by. LET us get
away at once. We can drive slowly. 1

With this he disappeared, carrying his
portmanteau with him. In minute or
two he was back again, and, entering
with needless stealth, signed to the doc
tor to assist him in moving the sleeping
man.
A wickerwork wing, with here and
there clamp of iron to strengthen it,
lay on either side the couch, and these
being raised and fastened with straps the
figure was secured from falling off,
'"Now a cloak over all. Draw out the
hood. Bring it more over the face. That
will do. Let us get away"
The two men took up their burden and
bore it down stairs. The narrowness of
the way and its many corners made this
difficult and lengthy task, and when
they came upon the street at last the
two bearers were flushed and breathless.
Facing the door stood brake, with a
pair of horses, and seated on the box was
| a iveried coachman with a cockade upon
his hat. One or two passers-by paused
to watch the proceedings.

journey, doctor?" asked the spy, In open
solicitude.

models shown at several of the most

very simple, and presents few difficult

Love Defined.

Before the International School Con-

ton-Browne defined love at first sight
as being a. a species of cerebral COM
motion, and (2) the stirring of some
hitherto dormant association centers
by an appropriate affinitive impress
sion." The scientific value Of this
transcendent discovery, in the opinion
of the Independent, is almost equal to
the conclusions reached by an Ameri-
can university few years ago when
an investigation was made of a large
number Of school children to discover
their preference for dogs and cats. The
astonished world learned that most
boys loved dogs best and most girls
cats.
