HAVE PRIVILEGE OF CREATION
Consolation for Women Who Do Not
Enjoy All the Advantages They
See Others Have.

Women are taught very wrongly
about love. They are allowed to read
love stories at tender age and form
a totally fatal notion of love.
They see themselves as charmers at
a very early age. They begin trying
to captivate, to charm. to enslave the
opposite sex, before they are out Of
the nursery. They live and die
many, many of them-without ever in
the least understanding the truth
about love or, in fact, about anything
else.
Women are very envious by nature.
There seems to be plenty Of justifica-
ton in this one way you look at it.
Why should one woman have luxury,
ease. travel society and fine clothes
and another woman have only toll
and loneliness and privation?
This is a useless question. We
cannot explain the inequalities of life,
but there is an answer to the woman
who asks this question. 1t is this:
The more barren the field the greater
the privilege of creation. You have
chance to see what you can find by
the way of JOY and beauty; you have
an opportunity to create your own at
mosphere and it can be a very lovely
one If you learn the secret of making
1t so.-Pittsburg Leader.

Sounds Like Coed LOGIC.

Recently, several educators came to
the conclusion, after lot Of argum ent
and discussion, that 1t is useless to
teach girls higher mathematics and
logic and that the time should be de-
voted to giving the girls more prac-
teal training that will fit them to be
housewives and mothers 1t is much
better, say the educators, to teach
cooking, housekeeping and nursing.
So far as logic is concerned the edu-
Gators point out that the minds of
young women can be disciplined just
as much, If not more so, by putting
them through rigorous courses in
what will be of practical benefit to
them in life. It further is argued that
mathematics and such studies do not
help woman to be better COM
panion to her husband. for he uses
those things only in his business, and
a woman rather should study things
that can be of help to him in his hours
Of relaxation.

The Spider Cheat.

Many species of spiders are interest
ing on account Of their physical con.
struction or their habits, but the most
curious specimens are probably to be
found In the woods of Sumatra: and
these naturalists call, not without rea-
son, spider cheats" This insect, In
order to trap the flies, etc., on which IL
feeds, hides on a leaf and spins a.
web OF neutral color, making an H.
fusion SO perfect that the prey not
only does not fly, but seems attracted
by the peculiar termination of the
web on the edge of the leaf. This is
a perfect knot in appearance and gives
to the trap the general shape Of q
miniature palm-leaf fan with indented
handle.-Harper's Weekly.
