beautiful" has become familiar. In
every department the watchwords
have been progress and education.
What are a few Of the thoughts
CLEANED and acts learned by women
in the arena Of club life?
They have learned a more respect
full regard for the rights of others.
Further, they have learned that a
merely s~elf-centcred woman is neither
ornamental, useful nor happy. Self
ishncss kills to the root every high
and noble aspiration of the human
heart. and in this class, the insincere
woman finds her place.
Women have learned confidence In
their ability to conduct business upon
strictly business principles. They
have challenged the respect of the
business world in the successful man
agement Of their financial affairs.
They have learned that correctness
in statement and absolute impartiality
are essential in a presiding officer;
hat personal ambition must be elimi'
mated in the discussion and decision
of all matters concerning the welfare
and progress of the body; that the
voice must be properly modulated and
that distinctneSs in articulation and
| correctness in pronunciation are cs
sential in addressing large audiences
as well as helpful in speaking tc
smaller assemblies.
They have learned that courtesy
and promptneSS are the keys that
open the door to success. Unswerv
ing Justice is a mightier weapon i
woman's hands than all the s~ergeants
alarms the American congress can
muster. Women are generous and
most f~orbearing if they believe that
Justice and right is the lcw of the
chair.
Clubs are a source Of recreation
re~freshment and invigoration. Fol
every young mother, especially, we
would recommend one or two clubs
not more. These should be in the di
rection Of her personal taste.

study each day, wholly removed from
the care Of children and the many
p~erp!eXities of the housewife, vii
serve as the best tonic our young wo
men can procure.
Music. art and literature, philan
thropy and reform, civics and science
all Offer their attractions. Through
the clubs mainly women have learned
the power of silent thought" and Its
retroactive effect upon those arcund
them. Also, that needful repose ir
the contemplation and in the accept
ance of events as they come give the
endurance and resistance necessary
in times of great stress. The contac'
with bright minds. helpful suggestions
and interchanges Of views have beer
most beneficial.

landed him at an inn known as the
Green Man, as usual passed the tune
in friendly discourse with the passen-
gers. To one housewife who had been
marketing he remarked that. owing TO
free trade, she was enabled to buy
much more for her money than II she
lived in a tariff country. To others he
talked freely and dispensed counsel
and advice Unfortunately. Arrived
at his destination, hesintimated to the
conductor, Il want to get out at the

a skeptieal person calling htmssle
- Groix has heen trying 70 nnd out
whether wolves and bears are mglign-
ed By the popular stories or their man
eating ways and writes his conclu-
sions for Recreation.
First he tried running down the sto-
rles told in newspaper dispatches.
Fooled In this etfort, be turned to the
Indians. They knew the gray wolf.
having wintered and summered with
him. Had they ever known OF an In
dian being killed by one?. N-no, but
Mingan was very crafty and very
much to be dreaded.
Quite so. But, once for all, had he
ever to their knowledge killed a man?
No, but they had heard SO it went
always the same Intangible, uncon-
firmed rumor and the same absence Of
proof.
"Now for a few facts as to the wolf. ;,
writes st. Croix. HE can go eight
days without food and can then eat
forty pounds Of meat at a sitting, so
the Indians say. This is pretty fair
for an animal weighing but eighty
pounds. Yet we do not know the
length Of the sitting.
THE wolf win not venture on glare
Ice; he never crosses a lake until there
is enough snow to hide the ice. 70
Wetting his feet he is as averse as the
domestic cat He will not kill his
game in the shelter of the forest, al
ways driving it into some open place
for the kill.
When chasing deer, he goes at a
leisurely lope. sitting down at inter
walls to give the most dolorous and
bloodcurdling bowls. This drives the
poor victim into wild gallop and soon
exhansts it, aud as the wolf never tires
he Is sure sooner or later to catch up
with the quarry.
"In wintnr the deer often makes for
some wild rapid, into which it plunges,
knowing that the wolf will not follow.
Too often the deer browns, but better
such a death than one by the fangs.
In summer a couple of wolves viii
secure all the deer they need by very
simple tactics Having put up the
quarry. one wolf drives It by easy
stages to some little lake speak now
of the Laurentian country-and on
reaching the shore the deer plunges
unhesitatingly in, for its instinct tells
1t the enemy will not dare 10 follow.
so on 1t swlms, while the pursuer
sits on his launches and bowls dis
mally, no doubt because he sees his
dinner escaping. At length the tired
deer drags itself YEARLY from the
water and shakes the drops from It's
coat on the sun warmed strand. Then
the companion wolf. which hns way
laid its coming. springs at IFS throat.
and when the tirst wolf joins him they
have gorge that makes them inde.
pendent of fate for whole week."

POINTED PARAGRAPHS.

There is little wolf and little rab.
bit in every man.
One way to be unhappy is to cayy
the happiness of others.
A lucky man always points wl;ll

If you want to obllge friend, do
something for him his way instead OF
your own way.

as others see them. but they don't be.

sorrows are silly sorrows-that Is. sor.

AS W THE SOUL.

According to Boston scientists, who declared that they had succeeded in weighing the human soul, its weight is half of an ounce. Now comes a New Yorker, one Price, who claims that he has made the subject life study and is convinced that the soul has a real existence, and the reason it cannot be seen when taking it's flight from the body is because those present are invariably hypnotized,
 He holds that proof that the soul really exists is shown by the fact that the body lightens immediately after death. He purposes to photo graph the soul with a number of quick snapshots as it leaves the body, and says it is impossible to hypnotize the camera, which records many things not visible to the naked eye.
 MT. Price says that the souls organ ism must necessarily be very small. Ut nay be like an oyster or a mol
 lusk. We cannot see it's organism, yet we know it has life" He thinks

 passed linen for cheapness and util- ty. With it she has driven wool into narrower field of service. With it she has so closely come to all the ap- pearances and utilities of silk that the latter must compete actively with mer- cerized cotton in the big world mar kets. She has given the world food product in cotton oil that staggers the olive oil producer. She fattens cattle at home, in England and in Germany on cotton seed meal and hulls and brings these products into competition with corn in the Northwest. She sup plies oil for packing sardines in France, for making butter in Holland, for increasing olive oil exported from Italy, and for many other uses.
 Yet the world tells the South that she does all these things wrong, says the Charlotte Observer; that she does not know how to make and handle cotton. We don't plant it right, we don't gin it right, we don't bale it right, nor in anyway handle it as the New Englander, the Englishman, the |Frenchman or the German would. Neither do we live right with the col ored people according to these critics. Meanwhile 40 per cent of the cotton crop is produced by the colored cit izen, with the opportunity we give him, and this 40 per cent yields more than $3O0,OO0,000 annually-a sum larger than the entire. cotton crop of ten years ago yielded to the entire Southern population, white and black Yet we survive and seem to be grow 1 ing a little better and little more prosperous in spite of the critics.
