From the June Appleton S.


 Today the young man of fashion mar ries the. girl with whom he has ridden, rowed climbed, fished, hunted, played tennis and golf. He knows she's good sport and the finest girl in the world, but if he ever thought her saint that idea is knocked out of his head long be- fore the wedding day. He doesn't boost her by the elbow over every little rock because he knows she can climb better than he can. He doesn't gallantly give her points in games, because he knows that if he does she'll beat him..
 And so it is with the women in the pro- fessions, in the arts, and in business There they meet men as fellow workers, just as the more idle women meet them fellow athletes. They are drawn to- gether by common interests, and in the cases where love and marriage result, the common interests remain and form q ser Viceable and stable background for the romantic foreground. But the man who works in the same office with woman can't bob up and offer her his chair every time she comes into the room. He wouldn't have time to do anything else. He can't sop smoking while she is in the room. If he did he might as we'll give up smok- ing altogether. If he happens to keep his hat on in the office it doesn't show any disrespect toward the women. It's simply habit that is bad for his hair. This 1 wholesome comradeship in work and play insures mutual knowledge before mar riage which is certainly a more secure basis for permanent happiness than are rt mantle dreams. There is slight danger

THE PRICE WOMAN PAYS
 FOR HER SWEET LIBERTY

that lovers will thus become too practi- cal.
 The flowers of chivalry are fading The old-fashoned lady of ruffs and feathers and perfumes has indeed fallen upon evil days. Elaborate compliments are few and far between. The courtly gal lantry of the dominant male for "the fair and the weaker sex no longer f1ourshes. The frail parlor girl is no match for the vigorous golf girl. The old dowager of 40 is no match for the sprightly middle a yed woman of 60. The new woman is not as new as she was. With each few years she becomes less uncouth and bet ter understood She is fast learning that she hampers rather than promotes the interest of her sex by aping men. She is coming to realize that feminine charm is just as potent a force in the 20th cen tury as ever 1t was in the days of chiv- airy. She is beginning to understand that the sacrifice of her womanliness is far too heavy a price to pay for independence, and that by no such sacrifice will she ever receive from men the justice that she seeks. The old-fashioned woman, on the othe hand, like her pug dog is fast passing. She will be, in no very distant future, a memory of the past, like the mastodon of bygone geologic ages. She canont survive in an age in which jus tice and independence are supplanting fiattery and galantry.

BOY KILLS HIS MATE.
Smuggfed Revolver to the Country
 in a Trunk.

New York, Aug 17.-Cornelius Lynch, 10 years old, of No 109 East Eighty-eighth street, died in Belle vue hospital yesterday from a pistol wound in the abdomen, received Sat urday at the hands of a playmate, Arthur Buschman, of No 113 East Ninetieth street, according to the dead boys parents. The shooting oc- cured in Jacksonville, Sullivan county, N. Y., and was accidental, the parents of both children say.
 Two weeks ago Mrs Lynch and Mrs Buschman took their children to Jeffersonville. Saturday evening Cornelius and Arthur were playing at hunt the rabbit" Arthur, who is IA, had a 32-caliber revolver which he had smuggled into his trunk without the knowledge of his mo her. With this weapon he pur- sued Cornelius, who was supposed to be the rabbit.
 Suddenly Cornelius fell to the ground with a cry of pain, Mrs Lynch and Mrs Buschman hearing the report of the revolver rushed from the house. Arthur said he didn't know the revolver was loaded.
 Upon the advice of a local phy- sician who first attended the wound ed boy, Cornelius was brought to Bellevue, this city, where he died.

THE ARCHBIsHoP's DEMAND.

The cause of civic reform in many communities has received valuable assistance from the Catholic clergy of late. Unhappy conditions. such as those which have aroused the pro- testing indignation Of Archbishop O'Connell and others in Boston. have existed in many other cities. Cor ruption and inefficieney in public service have not been a matter of race and creed. But it is fact that de- signing and interruptions politicians seeking office for selfish purposes. have traded upon the natural bonds of race and faith for their own per sonal advantage. Having gained of- fee and opportunity. they have be- trayed not only the public trust but the honor and name of church and race. of which. by reason of their public station, they claimed to be rep reseniative. before the world There are no parallel lines of religious faith and politics in this country. The Catholic church owes no greater duty to the cause of good government than does the church reorganization of any other denomination. Betrayers of the public trust. of whatever faith. are misrepresentstive Of their reli- gious creed which. in its application to civic relations. requires faithful rendering unto Caesar of the things which are Caesars The demand of the archbishop that men of the Cath oIie church align themselves by the highest standard of honesty and i'm teKTity and tolerate no Catholic man in public oface who by acts brings shame and dishonor to his church and her teachings" Is net a new Inspiration as to religious duty. IL Is as old as the church itself. and it applies to the church Ia whatever form wherever allegiance is claimed to the Christian faith.

PICKPoCKETs OF EUROPE.

''The American who travels in Eu- rope and does not keep the closest watch on his valuables is almost sure to be relieved of his personal belong ings by pickpockets,' said w. E. Mighell, vice-president of the San Francisco chamber of commerce, who has just finished two year tour of the world.
 The light-fingered gentry are ac- tive everywhere from London to Cairo. but I will give the palm for boldness and dexterity to the profess sionals of Italy, where the plunder of pockets has been reduced to fine art. am a careful man and did not need to read the constant warnings against pickpockets. and yet in the great plaza of Venice I was robbed last summer of my letter of credit for sl0,000. There was an enormous crowd that had turned out to hear the band play, the day being Sunday. and was jostled two or three times by a huge fellow with a big black mustache. Finally, seeing that he was doing it purposely, I lost my temper and addressed hot remark to him. at which he exclaimed. Par. don, monsieur dropped his umbrel- la at my feet, and in stopping to getl it. managed in some way to get my letter of credit, although it was in an inside pocket. It caused me lot of trouble, the sending of many cable grams and some money. but I man. aged to have the payment stopped and the thief profited nothing.
 Tn Rome on last Christmas day I went out for a ride in the suburbs to see some rare paintings in an old church. Wishing to see the country. I took a street car that was densely packed. The weather was pretty crisp and I wore an overcoat closely buttoned. How on earth the rascal managed to get to my watch and make away with 1t will puzzle me to my life's end. but he did the trick. as I found on getting on the car.
 Had it been only an ordinary timepiece would never have said word of the loss. but 1t was an un- usually fine one and [ valued it much more than the $500 1t cost me."-- Baltimore American.

THE COLD WATER BAG.
Makes a Good Pillow on Hot Nights,
 Says Fat Man Who Keeps Cool.

You hear lot of talk these hot days about the troubles folks have in getting to sleep" said the fat man who stays in town all summer. The trouble with them is that they don't know how to keep cool"
 His remarks aroused the chronic kicker.
 Sounds fine to me-" he remarked. You talk as if you really knew something. Perhaps you've got a cold air current piped down from Greenland onto your bed or nave your pillows stuffed with cracked ice. don't suppose your pillow ever gets all sticky on these humid nights when there isn't breath of air stir- ring; mine does, and I'll tell you you cant beat it. If you can, loosen up. We're listening. Whats the an- swer?"
 Hot water bag" replied the fat man. ....... ....r..-
 A chorus of jeers greeted this rs- mark, so he went on to explain.
 q don't suppose it ever penetrated your thick skulls, did it." he asked, that there are more than a few uses for a hot water bag? Never took one to bed with you in the win- ter, did you, when your room was SO cold that the sheets seemed freezing together, and put it at your feet?
 Never did enough thinking with that idea factory of yours, did yod, to realize that a hot water bag can be cold water bag just as we'll? Fact.
 When I want to spend a con- fortable night and dodge the discom- fort of a hot feather pillow that seems. hotter than the sun soaked asphalt, get out my three quart hot water bag. I fill it with ice water, not too full, but just so it's little soft. Then wrap a smooth towel around it, and there's the finest hot weather pillow ever.
 Fill another one for your feet, and if you aren't comfortable in little while you feel the heat verse than l do."

VAIN AS A PEACOCK.
All the Old Sayings Aro True, and
 MOra


 l venture to send you some cgri- ous particulars about the behavior of young peacock that is kep- here. l should be glad to learn whether our experience can be con tirmed or illustrated by any of your readers. The bird began by sedu- lously frequentlng the stable yard, and whenever the carriage was brought out of the coach house he would take his stand by it, and gaze at his refiec ion in the panels. He then took to accompanying the car riage up to the house, and, standing beside 1t at the front door, engaged in self contemplation. He now runs behind the carriage, when it star S from the house, down to certain point of the drive, apparently in the hope that it may stop, and allow him to continue his favorite occupa ion; but he seems to conclude at cer- tain place that the case IS hopeless, though if the carriage halts furth CT down the drive he will rejoin it and resume his observations. l. occurred to us to wonder what We would do If looking glass were placed on the lawn. This was accordingly done, and he at once found it cut. Noth- ing will induce him to quit it. lie will stand by it for hours together. At frs. he occasionally looked in Quisitively behind the glass at inter vals to see if bird was actually present, but he has given this up now. He stands in front of it, en- tirely absorbed, often motionless for long time, occasionally moving his head gen ly up and down, and sometimes softly touching the glass with his bill, appearing slightly be- wildered by the contact. If food is thrown to him he takes no no,.c~, unless it is close to the glass, when he will hurriedly gobble It up anu ployment in haste, as though vexeG at being interrupted. If the glass is taken into the drawing room, which is on the ground floor looking into the garden, he will en CT the room by door or window, find the glass and continue his favorite pursuit; and he spends the greater part of the day at the door that leads from the drawing room into ,he garden in the hope that some one may bring out his glass for him. Meanwhile the peahen is sitting on nest of eggs in a hedge close at hand. He never goes near her, his only idea, being to find opportunities for contemplating his own perfec- tions. 1 suppose hat the proverb "As vain as peacock" refers to the birds habit of spreading his tail and strutting about; but it is curious to find that this instinctivve vanity lies deeper still, and is not confined to the desire to arouse the admiration of his mate, as is generally taken for granted, but is based upon a gen. uine complacency and an almost morbid consciousness of his person. al attractions-Arthur c. Benson in the London Spectator.
