MEXICAN REBELS STILL FIGHT
Little Improvement Shown in Regions
Where zapatistas Are Actively
Engaged.

Mexico City.-Not less than 80 vii
lagos have been destroyed in the state
of Oaxaca in the last 10 days by gov
eminent troops. The administration
believes the revolutionists in that vi
cinity have been cowed by the terrible
warfare that has been waged, and has
sanctioned orders for the retirement of
the greater part of the federals from
that state.
In no less than 40 engagements re-
ported last week the federals claim vic
tories, but these for the most part
have been Insignificant, since the reb-
els ordinarily retire as soon as posi-
BILE, doubtless to save ammunition.
Two circulars have been issued by
Zapata- One demands that the owners
OF haciendas unite to contribute 5000
pesos a week to the rebel cause in GER
tain fixed areas; the other urges plant
ers to hurry the work of the poems on
their plantations so men can go to
war.

MAN DISCUSSES
BACHELOR GIRL QUESTION

If bachelor girls and bachelor men are
guilty of half the crimes charged to
them, IL they are so bad as many of our
authorities would have US believe, 1t is
difficult TO account for the rapid
reformation when they become reconciled
to the habit of matrimony. 1t used to
be that bachelors alone were condemned
in unsparing terms for their failure as
human beings, but now 1t is quite the
habit to join the bachelor maids with
the bachelor men in the condemnation.
There is a disposition on the part Of
many women with careers to condemn
the woman who wants a career-in fact, by
a peculiarly contradictory circumstance
most of the condemnation Of the woman
who has or desires a career comes from
the women who themselves are not en-
gagged entirely in domestic duties. The
domestic women are so busy performing
their household tasks, many of them un-
lovely and unattra ctive, that they have
no time to enter into the discussion at
all.
But just the same the tribe of bachelor
girls and bachelor men is bound to in
crease. 1t is one of the evidences of
civilization that men and women marry
later in life or in smaller proportion, and
have smaller families. And a good many
of us bachelor men and maids are we'll
satisfied that II should be so. knowing
that large families and poverty go to-
gether as a rule. and that poverty, de-
spite the assertions of fools and philoso-
pliers to the contrary, is an evil the
tendency to condemn large families is
rapidly increasing. And knowing that
early marriages often mean poverty,
while at the same time providing grist

A Good Laundry Method.

Delicate articles such as jabots, hand
kerchiefs and other accessories, may be
beautifully laundered by the following
method: Prepare thin starch by wetting
a teaspoonfuI of cornstarch in a little cold
water. Add two quarts OF boiling water
and boil frcm thirty minutes to an hour.
When cold, strain. Have the articles TO
be starched washed clean, dip them,
while wet into the starch, wiring dry.
then clap between the hands till partly
dry. Lay right side down on a thick
ironing pad and iron with a moderate
hot iron. Articles laundered in this way
have the sheer look and the crispness Of
new goods.

THIS MATTER OF LENT

To drop a few pleasures for a brief
season, only to plunge into them with
new zest as soon as that season is ended;
to cut of sundry luxuries for few days,
only to take them up again with others
added; to force ones self perfunctorily
into a pious frame OF mind at the dictate OF
an ancient custom, and then jump out Of
It at the earliest opportunity, surely this
smacks of the artificial, and can accom-
plish no permanent good, says the
woman's Home Companion.
BY linking religion with petty and in
significant self-denials like the giving up
OF a cigar or a box OF chocolates. and by
magnifying the Importance Of paltry acts
OF penance, there Is great danger OF de-
grading the whole idea Of piety and maxi
ing Christianity seem a superficial and
flimsy thing.
The surface Of life is just now de-
manding so much attention that many OF
us do not care to look within. Life in
great cities has compelled us to consider
with absorbing gaze the exterior. Our
lives are lived under the eyes Of others,
and we are solicitous as to what they
see. Reputation was never worth so
much as II is to-day, and We must have
X even at the expense OF our character.
We place unwholesome emphasis on ex-
ternalities. We are expert Judges Of the
skins Of things We dote on appearances.
We are devotees OF the surface. We are
adopts in the use OF enamels. varnishes and
veneers. We gid many things and white
wash many others. We make a show even
though we have little TO make IL out Of. We
keep up appearances even IL II kills US,
Life for many becomes a haggard strug-
gle to please the eyes Of mortals. 1t is
a truism easily forgotten, that God sees
not as a man sees. Man looks on the
outward appearance, but the Lord looks
on the heart"

SOME REASONS WHY GIRLS
DON'T CONFTDE IN MOTHERS

a killjoy, She Is the veto power. She is
the critic on the hearth, and they don't
conflde in her for the same reason you
don't put a tender plant out in a tenn
perature of forty degrees below zero
You don't want your little hopes and plans
nipped in the bud II Mamie knows that
mother is going to raise thousand OBJ
jections TO every frolic, no matter how
innocent and foolish, she naturally doesn't
tell mother until after IL is overland
then II is often tragicaIly too late.
Then there are Mamies beaus, callow
young boys who bring her books home
from school, and shamefacedly come to
take her to frat dances, and who hang
around the house. Or. perhaps, they
don't come to the house at all. and
Mamie meets them at the street corners.
Mother knows nothing about them. nor
what Mamie thinks OF them. and she
blames Mamie for not confiding in her,
but how can the girl get courage to tell
her mother that she has a queer. choIy
feeling, and gets hot and pale when
Tommy SO much as touches her hand, or
that she feels that she'd like to 20 on
and die when Dick dances with another
girl, when mother makes fun OF Dicks
big feet and laughs at the way that
Tommy's wrists protrude from his coat
sleeves?
The staple of wit in many families is
Mamie and her beaus, yet mother won
ders why II is that Mamie never tells her
anything about her love AFFAIRS.
1t is generally supposed that there
is close bond of sympathy between
mothers and daughters. As a matter
of fact. mothers are curiously unsym-
pathetic to their daughters unless the
girls happen to be exactly like them
In temperament. Most OF the unduti-
full daughters you hear about are
merely girls who want TO follow their
own tastes instead OF their mothers.
That is why serious-minded Jane
can't tell her mother, who thinks that
fashion is the chief end OF a woman's
life, about her settlement work. and
why frivolous Kitty runs on and joins
the chorus instead OF confiding in
mother. whose chief interest is mission
work, that she aspired to her career.
Undoubtedly II is the greatest pity
in the world that girls don't confide
in their mothers. But before they do
mothers will have to learn not to be
such wet blankets as they are now;
also they will have TO learn to be
chums with their daughters instead of
critics OF them. None OF us are ire
sistibly drawn to tell things to peo-
pie who invariably sit down on them.

Wiser Marriages.
There is a reason to believe that the
tendency OF the age is toward wiser and
saner f<trriaFes, and wiser and saner
families. There is also a growing rec

been patent generations ago-that the
mere rearing OF families is no excuse for
marriage. The bachelor men and maids
know this instinctively, II they do not
take time to reason II out.

our folly. 1t isn't the cost OF living that
keeps us from marrying-it is the simple
fact that We like TO be single. There
isn't the slightest reason in the world
why We should make one income do for
