MATRIMONY NOT A TRADE

The woman sociologlst may achieve all the grace of mnistering angel when she extends her capacity for comfort to the hour of need. But when she undertakes to champion the cause of her own sex, she may rush in where her supernatural relatives mi ght fear to tread Here comes an Engishwoman who has achieved a book, which she entities Marriage as d Trade" She treats matrmony wholly as a means of support, as a necessity of livelihood. A husband is merely means of subsistence, in her view, and matrimony becomes commercial undertaking, in which custom even requires woman to appear not to seek to enter. Worst of all, when the task which she must not seek has found her, its usual reward is only food,
 lodging, and clothing, the mere necessaries of existence
 It may be that in this case woman can be left to answer woman. The assumed victim of mas culine tyranny and domestic slavery can reject the proifered rescue of needless chanpion But the humble husband could make a retort. did his chivalry permit. When he acquired a wife, he assumed the burden of self-denial. II was his to renounce many little luxury and mild diversion while at the same time ncreas- ing the energy applied to work. But of this the man worthy of the name makes no complaint There is something in his view that the woman socoogst does not take into account, because it is beyond her ken. That is that the wages of matrimony is happiness, not to be weighed in the scales of the laboratory nor to be meas ured in sordid dollars and cents. The true com panionship that underlies welded bliss does not calculate to a miserly nicety the exact share of mutually glad contribution

STARTING ANEW

With nature, spring is the time for repenish- ment The long periods of winter, when fields lie fallow, while trees stand denuded of ther leaves, while the animals hibernate and he dormant, nature is all the while preparing for her splendor In the spring the earth IS clothed with glory, and the birds in their nests, the lambkins in the field, the grass, the trees, the flowers, all responding to natures magic touch, justify her and sing her praises.
 Not so with the works of mankind. The win ter is time for work. Civilization has ordaln- ed that mans hardest work is done in the win ter. All through the months he tolls and molls amid the strife and the struggle of business or the intricacies of professional endeavor. In the spring, man lifts up his head and scents the summer afar off, For an instant he feels Ill his veins the touch of natures magic, and then comes the reaction, the lassitude which follows the long, weary months of labor.
 In the summer, if he is fortunate, man plays. Whether his taste be for the country, the noun tains. or the seashore, he looks forward eagerly to a short vacation, relief from the cares and the anxieties of everyday existence. No matter how short his vacation may be, 1t IS the tune for rehabilitation--the time for renewing his energies. In the majority of instances, he re- turns from such brief breathing spell anxious and willing again to take up his burden. It is then that he feels afresh the fire of ambition. Things that were left undone last year are planned anew. Matters that were deferred on account of the rush of business, or because of lack of inclination come enhanced with renewed glamour.
 The end of summer, when all nature is mak- ing the final effort-the last squirt toward the continuation of the fruitful year, is the time for man to begin afresh. He has had his rest. He has learned his lessons of the preceding year.

The Sayings of Mrs. Solomon
By Maude Nitric
(Being the Confessions of the Seven I

Consider Fatma, oh, thou foolish one who having the key to her husbands hirtations, opened the door and found out Lo! she that goeth upon the trouble hunt shall find that which she seeketh For Buebeard is not the only man that keepeth a closet full of dead loves.
 Now, I knew damsel of the West Side, and she came unto me- saying, " Behold l am engaged Yet my conscience troubeth me greatly; for 1 know not whether or not to tell Harold al-even concerning Bertie and Al geron and Billy and George"
 And made answer wisely saying, tYea, and hath he told thee all! Even concerning Aleen and Bertie and Kitty and Miriam and Clementneg"
 But she cried out scornfully, "What Those creatures! Nay, he hath not mentioned one of them unto men'
 Then l blessed her, saying, ''Be advised, my daughter! Do thou likewise. For Harold is gentleman"
 Lo! as a shpperby bathtub, as starched handkerchief to the nose as a tack in the dark, is man that confesseth his past loves. For he doeth it not from conscience, but from vanity and to see if it will not get thee going. Verify, the woman that boasteth of her con quests is bore, but the man that telleth of his other firtations is as a stiff collar on a hot day. He causeth thee secret torment. Then l charge thee, my daughter, beware of confessions. For they are like unto cham pagne, which exhiarateth for the moment yet eaveth bitter taste in the mouth. To! why shall a woman wax curious con corning the women whom man hath kissed! '! For it is not those whom he hath kissed, but those whom he hath not yet kissed that she hath cause to dread Selah!

 Tourists will regret the ruin wrought by earthquake to the great cathedral in the cap ital of Mexico It was a noble memorial of an- cient days, having been completed in 1867, after nearly century of building, at cost of almost $2 100000. It was in the central plaza of the city, and from its twin towers, POO feet high, commanded comprehensive view. The build ing was in the form of cross 426 feet long, 200 feet wide, and l75 feet high at the central dome. Much of its interior decoration had been de- stroyed Upon its high altar was formerly a candestck of gold that one man could not lift, and there were many chalices and pyxes, and censers studded with precious stones. In the fourteen chapes rest the bones of many depart ed great There were many treasures Of art on the walls, some of the paintings being ascribed to MurilIo. There was one golden statue ornamented with diamonds, and said to be valued at more than $l,000,0OO. The build ing stood on the site of the Aztec Temple of Sacrifice, up whose steps Montezuma led Cortez and pointed out the beauties of the aboriginal city that the Spaniard was to punder.

PERIODIC GOLD DISCOVERIES

The reported finding of rich gold deposits in northwestern Colorado calls attention to the fact that five years seems to be a periodic in terval between such discoveries. Since the Transvaal "banket' beds were found in 1885, there have been successively the opening of Cripple Creek, KIondike, and Nevada workings, although the last were year or two behind the allotted time of five years in the series. But enough space has now elapsed since the Gold field and Tonopah strikes to bring the date for a new find very close to the average The total yield of the continent has been perceptbly during the last few years, with the Klondike falling off from it's early records and Cripple Creek showing a decline

Strikes Abroad aud dt Home.
 Only s per cent of wage-earners engaged m strikes in Great Britain were successful last year, and only , per cent were successful when the issue was that of wages alone. There was a compromise in 65 per cent of labor disputes. The board of trade finds that the latter result IS strictly in harmony with the trend of industrial differences in Great Britain during the past five years compromise gains along the line, and direct negotiation is becoming increasingly eflicacious in adjusting the problems of labor. New unions in the United States are prone to strike But experience teaches them that the strike is force to be kept in reserve for use only in a cause that can be justified. The older the union the most conservative, as rule. The growth of the trade agreement and of voluntary arbitration have accompanied the growing re- spect among organized wage earners for col lective contracts with employees.

A LOST ART

A writer in the Atlantic Monthly makes this 
 If the truth were told, most young Amer
 ican men are not especially interesting.
 The young men among them are not good
 conversationalsts. Our ceverest men are
 monologists pure and simple. They lecture
 admirably. They are born orators along
 modified lines. They are inevitable story
 teers. None of this is conversation; and
 women like conversation, like its courtesies,
 which at least pretend little interest when
 their turn comes in the game.
 Here is the wall which comes close to being a timely though peevish commentary on the truth This being the age of specialists 1t IS to be expected that every one will eventually be- come opsided. The inevitable tendency of spe- calizing, added to the keenness of competition, is bound to keep every mans nose toerably close to his own particular grndstone.
 Unfortunately the American tendency to ''talk shop" on every occasion, added to the necessity for every one being expert m some special line, making some one thing always in his mind, has gradually pene- trated into the drawing rooms and the clubs, until generalties of conversation become i'm possible The situation is such that after one individual delivers himself of his monologue the next man, always awaiting impatiently for a cue starts upon his, and so it goes the rounds. Small wonder, then as the Atlantic monthly puts it. the women, with their versatility of in terest, are disgusted with the situation.
 Men sooner or later form themselves into coteries where mutural interest is maintained The enthusiast on automobiles soon wearies ot lecturing about the merits of his machine to a dyed in -the-wool golf player or tennis crank He seeks the society of other motorists, where all can talk on the same subject-and perhaps even all talk at once
 It is difficult for a woman to listen politely to dissertation on the stock market fluctuations when she finds herself in masculine society, and while women are generous in giving every man credit for being master of his own particular speciality, they pine for some indication that he will relax and give attention to them, realize the state of affairs, but they are helpless. Their at tempts to participate in small talk" are some times Iudicrous, and usually pitiful failures.
 Hence it is that the salon has langulshed and become extinct Where formerly clever women used to attract brilliant men to their homes, ano when wit and conversation were the sole means of entertainment they now have to hlre palo performers to amuse their male guests, who, Ii the truth were to be told, would often mucl rather not be the recipients of the attention.
 Small talk and repartee are beginning to be looked down upon as inanities, and real, live topics engage the minds of men; but unless we cease to specialize and begin to show an inter est in other affairs besides our own, cOnversa ton will continue to be one-sided and masculine guests the despair of hostesses.

4 Compliment to Regulars.
 It is timely tribute of praise that the local authorities of Ashland, Neb., have paid to the men of the Third battalion, Sixteenth infantry. The mayor at the request of the city govern ment. wrote: ''I desire to say word, m behalf of Ashland and its citizens as to the regular troops which have been camped on the target range near here for the past three months. Reg uIars were an unknown quality to all of us, and it must be admitted that there was some anxiety in certain quarters when it was decided to send them here. It is my extreme pleasure to assure you that not only has this feeling vanished in every quarter, but we have come to appreciate the men and their conduct has been exemplary in every way. They have been universally courteous in their intercourse with the people of this locality, and have, shown themselves to be gentlemen and credit to their uniforms and country"
