WHAT WE OWE TO WOMEN
Ever They Have Been the Makers
Of the Home and Providers
Of Comfort.

Social progress with primitive wom-
en- was stimulated and encouraged by
their relation to home life, to dress
and. to manners. We have already
alluded to the women as the authors
of the home or shelter. 1t is the fe-
male bird that makes the nest, the
female mammal that digs the burrow
for her young and the female bee that
makes the honeycomb as a home for
hers. The human female more than
all the rest created her home. But
not only is this true, but she differen-
tiated the home, and all parts Of the
most elaborate establishment were
instituted by her or on her account.
The first homes were cherries
caves. Fire could not be made in
them because of the smoke, so wom-
en- sought out cave with an opening
in the rear, or rock shelter with a
high curved roof When she became
a dweller in a tent she searched for
the oldest wood, learned the mystic
ries of the fuel problem and even in
vented the coral to induce the wind
to draw a little of the smoke there
from and to increase her comfort.
To the women of the household we
are indebted for the oven, the chin.
ney and the chimney corner, the
kitchen, the dining room, the family
room, the separate bed chamber. II
has been a wonderful evolution, re-
sulting in comfort, taste and morality

JUDGE STILL HAS THE $50
Condition Competitors Did Not Seem
to Notice Went With Offer
of Prize.

The walking craze of few years
ago gave a well-known sporting man
an opportunity which he could not re-
sist taking advantage of. He had hand
bills widely distributed on which was
stated:
"A Great Crosby gentleman will give
$50 to the man. woman or child who
first succeeds in doing the following
task: To walk from the Pierhead
Oiverpool) to Crosby village. There
each competitor must buy a meat pie
and walk around the Big Stone and
eat It,"
About a hundred entries were re-
ceived, and the walk took place on
Whit Monday. Much excitement pre-
vailed and great cheer rose as a
local pedestrian was seen leading the
rest of the crowd. His meat pie was
soon eaten as he walked round the
stone, and he went to the Judge for
the $50.

didn't think you could have done it.

Mother Kanaaroo,s Bravery.

During a severe drought in a GER
tain section Of Australia, the owner of
a country station was sitting one eve
ming on the porch when he saw a
kangaroo lingering about, alternately
approaching and retiring from the
house. as If half in doubt and fear
what to do
At length she approached the wa
ter pals, and. taking young one
from her porch. held It TO the water
TO drink.
While her baby was satisfying its
thirst the mother was quivering all
over with apprehension. for she was
but a few feet from the porch where
one of her foes was watching her.
The baby having finished drinking,
it was replaced in the pouch and the
old kangaroo set off at a rapid pace
The spectator was so much impress
cd by the astonishing bravery of the
affectionate mother that he made a
vow-and kept it--never again tc
shoot a kangaroo.

The Mlddle.Aaed Woman.

OF the many ways in which the mid
dle-aged woman may vary the effect
OF her afternoon gowns none is SIM
pier than the use of collar and cuffs
OF white wolfe edged with scallopiug
an dembrOidery In floral design. An
other change may be the frock set OF
white chiffon with border OF black
malines. and still another is the one of
black net hemstitched with silver
thread Some of these collars are SO
long in front that they terminate only
at the waist line, where they cross In
surplice effect and are tucked away
under the girdle. An excellent model
of this sort is of light blue lawn en-
brodered with black dots, and a sec
ond is Of white agaric trimmed with
tiny" folds of broadcloth, alternating
with eponge.

BREAKING AWAY FROM TRUTH
Two Opinions With Respect TO a False
Statement Minister Admits
He Made.

A curiously interesting question CT
ethics has arisen over the failure of
a minister to secure employment for
an erring but repentant woman until
he told prospective employers that
she was a woman of good character.
He had often been on the point of get
ting for her the work she needed in
order to make an honest living and to
regain the moral equilibrium which
had been disturbed By her wrongdoing.
But as soon as the minister, in his
devotion to the strict letter OF the
truth, admitted that the woman had
sinned, the doors of honest living were
closed in her face, the "unco' good"
people who were in a position to lend
helping hand refusing to run the risk
OF contamination, unwilling to fol
low the example of Him who said to
another erring women: &C AID sin
no MORE
Now rather lively local discussion
has arisen as to whether the minister
was justified under the circumstances,
or whether anybody is ever justified
under any circumstances, in telling a
lie. Perhaps few will deny that II this
minister really lied at all he strained
the truth in good cause and that the
imposition practiced upon those who
refused to give to another the chance
u reform which they themselves
would have welcomed in their own
cases was intended to serve a humane
purpose. All who are inclined to take
an ultra conservative view of the in
volatility of truth might ponder the
splendid words of Dickens when he
wrote Tom Pinch and the lie that he
did only good to another human be-
ing:
There are some falsehoods, Tom,
on which men mount, as on bright
wings, to heaven. There are truths,
cold, bitter, haunting truths, that bind
men down to earth. Who would not
rather have to fan him in his dying
hour the lightest feather of a false
hood such as thine, than all the quilts
plucked from the sharp porcupine,
revengeful truth, since Time began p"

What's all this to me?" The words

him moody and frowning.

Prof. Joseph GrlnnelI Makes Some In.
terestins Discoveries Which Agree
Not With Common Belief.

II has been generally believed tina,
the brilliant plumags exhibited by the
males of many species Of birds during
spring--that is. during the mating sea-
son-is directly connected with the
physiological condition OF the birds at
this time. and various theories have
been formulated to account for the
facts. Prof Joseph Grinnell has found
In the Californian linnet some facts
that do not agree with the common
belief. In this bird the male presents
a brilliant red breast and neck during
the mating season. whereas In the su-
tunsn and winter the feathers have a
duC grayish coloring. with q mere
suggestion OF pink But the bird does
not nouit (change its feathers) in
the spring. nor is there new pigment
formed in the feathers BY collecting
a series OF feathers from August, when
