DR.. Smith Jelliffe. the alienist, was

orator that, whenever | hear him. |

This minister, one Sunday morn

desk a very thick packet Of notes.

sermon.
THE reading of the sermon alb
sorbed him. He did not once lift his
eyes. On toward the end. however.
happening to glance up. he perceived
almost the entire congregation to be
sound asleep.
THE minister frowned and paused.
He struck the desk a resounding blow
that awakened his parishioners. Then
he said:

There must be a satisfaction in tor
turing human beings, for it is done so
often Nobody blanes a wife for up
holding her self-respect and resenting
insult, but there is little sympathy for
one who deliberately drives a man to
deeds Of rudeness and violence. Nag
ging and indulgence in bad temper
leave indelible marks on the face Of a
woman, on her voice and on her char
acter They shrivel' up whatever
sweetness nature has put into her dis
position and make her unlovely, even
in the eyes of those who feel In duty
bound to give her affection. 1t is often
hard to maintain silence under provo
cation, but there is always the open
door Of escape, you know. A quarrel
does not thrive when fed from one
side only, and what should be impor-
tant to every woman with pretenses

prudqery in the Kitchen.

The path of progress is clear. There
is no more reason why the woman
In modern civilization should scrub
and cook and darn ard dust than there
is why these things should be done
by men. The development Of i'm
proved machinery and the growth of
labor saving devices Of all kinds will
finally obviate the necessity of doing
these things each day in each home
through the land. Cooperation, which
we are slowly learning to greet as a
friend, will overcome the drudgery
and make the life of woman as en-
joyable and eventful as that of the
man.-Nearing and Watson in Eco

FINANCIAL and COMMERCIAL,
STOCK MARKET VERY DULL.
Prices Held Up by Sympathetic Effect
of Strength in Special Stocks.

New York, April 30.-The stock mar
ket today was but d dull affair ana
little impression was made on prices
hy any current events. The excessive
dizziness was partly due to the inter-
ruption of communication with the
western part of the country by the
storm. Few orders were received fr01r
outside sources. The weather condi-
tions were considered unpropitious for
the crops and the further rise in the
price Of wheat was another index of
this view. The delay in seeding of
spring wheat by reason of the late
spring was as much dwelt on as the
condition of the winter wheat crop.
The postponement of cotton seed
planting also came into view. The tone
of the stock market, although intense
" dull was not weakened BY the SIT ali
participation. Prices were held up to
some extent by the sympathetic effect
of the strength in special stocks Tn

The hardening of the money market

therefore, promises small decline in
