and when they can do neither they
suffer disastrous change of nature.
Mems ideals are unaffected by the pro-
found conviction that woman Is the in
ferior animal, but when women see
only the inferior animal in man, 1t acts
upon them as the loss of faith acts up
on certain temperaments. It destroys
their sense of duty, cuts them adrift
from old ideals without setting up new
ones, deprives them Of all feeling of
security, and leaves yearning ache
craving for some sort Of satisfaction,
and, finding none in the pursuits once
dear, but now considered Intellectual
for any good, and therefore not worth
while, drives them to reckless extrav-
agances of thought and conduct.
From of old there have been opin-
ions Of men afoat among women the
reverse of f1attering, but not of men in
general, only Of odd specimens, and
never expressed above whisper. The
woman Of to-day Judges men In the
mass, and does not whisper. She jeers
at them aloud, or laughs, or mourns
for the pity of 1t, according to her

Theorists have often proposed extra
taxation on the bachelor, and legisla-
lures have even considered, more OF
less seriously, bills imposing heavier
burdens on the unmarried men. But,
thus far, the hard-hearts have escaped
such a fate. Yet, in England, where
the search for new sorts of taxes Is I'M
remitting, the plan Is once more serl-
ously preached. The argument IN ia
vor of a bachelor tax is irreproacha-
ble Here is a man who is lodging his
duties to the state; who Is living In
happy but selfish singleness. The life
and health of a nation depends In
greater degree upon its birthrate than
upon any other one thing. II the birth
rate Is declining, the nation Is looked
upon as decadent and dying. The mar
ried man Is the solid citizen. He is
settled In life and has serious stake
in the community. He has a family
for which to labor, and Is tnrbued With
ambitions that are of the greatest I'M
portance, in the aggregate, to the state
and to the nation. But the bachelor
is shirk, a mere lodger He gives
to the state no progeny; he develops
no home; he does not become tax
payer. He Is the man-abouttown. or
course, there are individual exceptions
the bachelor who ds supporting moth
er or sisters, the bachelor who Is phy-
sicaIly untitled to marry, and the bach
elor who cannot find a woman who
will wed him But in the mass, the
bachelor Is not productive, taxpaylng
citizen. He is Sinking part Of the
whole duty of man. An obvious device
to drive the bachelor into matrimony
Is to make him pay for the privilege
of shirking. But there are difficulties
in the way. Would 1t be constitutional
to tax him because he did not care to
commit matrtmony? How could the
exceptional cases be taken care OF?
Perhaps q better way Of encouraging
matrimonial enterprise would be to ia
vor the married man in various ways.
This Is already done in many cases.
If work Is scarce, the city gives the
preference to the married man. Many
business establishments give similar
preference. In France, there are some
privileges enjoyed by the man who
has a large family. If men Of family
were favored by the remission of GER
tain taxes, or given privileges, it would
be tantamount to taxation of those
without family, but the taxation would
be indirect and, therefore, easy.

respect for man her faith in God may
not be lost, but it changes in charac-
ter. Gods DEGREES as they have been
transmitted to her by man then be-
come open to question, and she begins
to substitute her own interpretations.
Except in degenerate people there can
be no such thing as sex antagonism."
Men have always frankly despised
women without in the least disliking
them. One woman here and there a
man may respect, but toward women in
general his attitude will remain for the
most part kindly contemptuous.
Nowadays the attitude of woman to-
ward men is very much the same, says
Sarah Grand in the London Chronicle,
but in their contempt there Is more
bitterness and less tolerance, and the
effect upon themselves of the loss Of
respect for men is altogether different.
1t has been the habit of their minds to
look up to men and to rely upon them,

CHILDREN's HEALTH INSURED.
When They Work for Wages Precau'
tionary Measures Begin.

When They Work for Wages Precau-
tionary Measures Begin.
The insurance has become in less
than thirty years part Of the warp Of
German life, Madge jennings says in
Harper's Magazine. It affects the life
of the masses like common school edu-
cation with endless meaning and issue.
Twelve million people have sickness
insurance; 100000 are insured
against 1nvalidism and old age; 49,
100000 against accident. When a boy
begins his apprenticeship at 16 he be-
gins his insurance. Even children
under age who work for wages out Of
school hours are required to insure
for invalidism and old age. The men
in labor colonies must be insured, and
prisoners hired out by the state. In
every factory one meets it; in every
tenement. It has been estimated that,
counting with the insured their fam
lilies, who are also protected by the in
surance, one-half the population of the
empire Is reached by this vast imper-
ial backing of peace.
Germany is developing very fast in
dustrially. The average wage of a
1aborer was 80 cents a day twenty
years ago; it is now 60 or Is cents,
and the cost of living has risen cor
respondingly-in reality far more.
Sickness pensions are reckoned in gen
eral at one-half the wages of the class
Of labor under consideration, and the
pension in the lowest class is thus set
under the present law at Is cents a
day-an income upon which to live in
any industrial town in modern Ger
many, however small, is only words.
words, words. One could laugh some
times at the involutions of this vast
official comedy; one could laugh if that
were not so near which chills laughter.
The acts are promptly and surely exc
cuted when pensioners claim is es-
tablished, but the official supposition
In Germany is always that you are
wrong; you must prove that you are
right; innumerable precautions are
taken to guard against the practice
of fraud; a sick man may spend
months completing the formalities of
his claim.

Giulia Morosini, Best Gowned New
Yorker, Said to Be in Dilemma
Over Estate Shrinkage.
SHE HAS NOW ONLY s1,ess,497
Society Fears She'll Have to Cut
$4,000 Wardrobe Allowance In
Two to Keep Wolf Away.

How on earth will New York's best
dressed woman maintain her wardrobe
on $4,000 a year?" This was the ques-
ton New York society asked when it
heard that Miss GiuHa Morosini would
have to cut In two her annual allow
ance Of 100000 for dress because her
fathers estate had been found to be
only $2,660,509, instead of more than
100000, as supposed before the Sur
rogate courts records.
Miss Giulia was the favorite daugh-
ter of Giovanni P. Morosini, banker,
who left her the greater part of his
wealth. Her inheritance is placed at
81, 1888, APT, the interest ON which at 4
per cent would be only $65,000 year.
To maintain the Morosini home in its
accustomed style will cost, it is said,
$4,000 a year, leaving only $4,000 for
the heiress' clothing account.
The young woman has been Critics
ed for spending so much money on her
wardrobe, but she always defends her
course on the ground her expenditures
helped many classes.
II believe In making myself as at
tractive through dress as I can. 1t is
every woman's duty If not her pleas
ure. I consider good taste in dress a
matter of science.

nature for support. 1t is really won

The pole IS nothing. 1t is a mega
ton. 1t is a geographical paradox
and absurdity. Whether it be land
buried under perpetual snow or water
covered deep with never-melting ice, it
is the one place on earth where there
is no north or east or west, but all di-
rections alike are south. 1t is the
place where one day is a year long,
and the year is day. The familiar
consultations Of the stars Of our hem
isphere sweep round it in altered
guises and relations, never varying in
height above the horizon. Nothing in
nature marks the passage Of time ex-
cept the slow coming and withdrawal
of the sun. The compass needle still
points to a north, which there is south
to long-ago discovered point in our
hemisphere which moves westward at
a known and practicable pace.

Ants VIII Eat Boil WeeviI.

The Federal government will experi-
ment in cotton fields near Durant.
Okla, with black ants to exterminate
boil weevil, the most damaging of cot
ton pests, says the st. Louis Globe
Democrat. The discovery was recently
made by Special Agent S. w. Murphy,
of the Department of Agriculture, who
Is located in Durant, that the ants will
devour the young weevil. The discov-
cry was made entirely by accident in
the following manner:
Murphy had visited a cotton match
near Durant and secured several wee
vii which were about to hatch, Thew
were taken to his Office for obserya-
ton under a magnifying glass to de
termine what effect, If any, the recent
hot weather had had upon them. Thew
were placed upon newspaper and left
upon table while Murphy went to
dinner.
When he returned scores of little
black ants were devouring the weevil
He wrote full report of his discovery
to DR.. Knapp, head Of the Bureau Of
Plant Life Industry, under whose d.
rection Murphy is now working. Muir
ply Is confident that he has found
in them an insect which will DESTROY
the boil weevil without injuring the
crop, and he intends to COLOMBO as
many ants as possible in cotton field
near Durant next year, and to assist
him in his efforts he has asked the,
a government expert be detailed.

Who says that the ordinary English
man Is not sentimental? In August
the last cable street line was
discontinued and the electric
tram Of the London County
Council took its place. The
cable line was also the first in Europe,
for 1t was opened In 1884, over
Highgate Hill, In the extreme north
erly suburbs of London. The occa-
sion Of the discontinuance of the line
was marked by an astonishing dem
onstration. Great crowds assembled
along the line on the evening when
the last cars were run, and each car
was cheered as it left the foot Of the
hill no its journey. Toward the end
of the evening every car was so crowd
ed that it was impossible to collect
fares. Each car as it went off serv-
ice was greeted with Aud Lang
Syne," sung by the bystanders, led by
a man playing cornet Men and
women fought to get on the last car,
and most Of them were provided with
colored lights, hrecrackers and sticks,
which they used to increase the bois-
terousness of the demonstration. It
seems to have been an occasion not so

Use for the Appendix.

From the London Mail.
The vermiform appendix. which has
hitherto been looked upon by surgeons as
useless and dangerous organ. has at
last writes medical correspondent JUS
titled its existence. At the West London
Hospital the appendix has been shown to
be a great help to the surgeon in treating
diseases of the lower intestine. One of
the staff OF the West London Hospital
explained to me how they had impressed
this hitherto maligned organ into the
service of the surgeon.
lone of the greatest difficulties in medi-
cine said the surgeon, lis to apply med
icines to the lower intestine. The appen-
dix has now been made use of as short
cut by which we can gain reader access
to this part of the digestive tract. The
new operation is to cut down to the APP
pendix just as in the ordinary appended
tbs operation. but instead of cutting out
this organ it is threaded through the
various layers of muscles in the abdo-
mnal wall and attached to the skin. 1t
is then opened and by tube passed
through its lumen (passageD any neces-
sary medicine may be applied directly to
the mucous membrane of the lower in

cient guard. This Is matter of impor-
lance. since in Lucrative conditions of
the intestineS it is necessary TO continue
the medication for weeks or months. This
making use of the appendix does not les
sen its danger as farovite focus for in
fammation and abscess formation. but at
least it removes some of the stigma which
has hitherto been attached to it by the
profession,
