kep, ou. Of Politics.

In Austria women are forbidden by
law to take an active part In politics
or to Join any political association.
Last spring the chamber of deputies
decided to cancel tho prohibiting
clause. and the political committee Of
the upper house has now indorsed this
vote of the deputies. with the explains.
tion that "the part taken BY women
in associations with political ten.
dencies 10 well known. and. under the
circumstances. can scarcely be pre-
vented" This bill has been sent back
to the deputies for further considera-
ton. The women OF Austria have been
leading an agitation against the rise
Of prices which they. ~ housekeepers,
feel most acutely. They have been
successful In cheapeniaS coal In Vienna
and milk in Brunn. The leaders OF the
movement have been elected to mu.
nicipal committees. and for the first
time woman has been put on . COM
mittee OF a town council. viz. that Of
Housing.

all intelligent men must read. The

vive.
There is In literature law OF the
survival OF the fittest." The worst
portions of Byron and Shelley prac-
tically will be unread as the years
multiply; only their nobler parts Will
endure. A good book is wonderful
product Of brain and heart. Milton
uttered . great truth when he said.
Books are not absolutely dead things,
but do contain progeny Of life in
them TO be as active a. that soul was
whose progeny they are; nay. they
do preserve as in . vial the purest
efficacy and extraction Of that living
intellect that bred them A good book
is the precious life-blood Of master
spirit. embalmed and treasured up on
purpose to = life beyond life"
These true and strong words are
especially applicable to the Bible.
which. by pre-eminence Is called "The
Book" Every student of life and
literature, whatever his religious opin-
ions may be. odght to be deeply in.
terested in the Bible. 1t is . book OF
greater antiquity than any other; 1t
Is more widely read than any other;
and 1t exercises = more potent in
huence on thought and life than any
other book 1t commands the love and
evokes the hostility of more people
than any other volume in the world.
1t comes to US with the loftfest pre-
tensions. and It demands for Its mes
sage our absolute acceptance. It n
the only unexhausted and inexhaust-.
ible book in the world. As the in
telligence OF its readers enlarges. so
does Its significance enlarge and its
beauty increase. In itself and in its
history It IL the mightlest force in
literature.
