The result would be a very big

Thousands OF square miles would
be more or less directly affected

hurl itself in vhelming tidal

drown all the low-lying islands.

that has actually occurred two or
three times within a century.
The comet Of 1851 enveloped
the earth with the spreading end
OF its tail for a few hours. and
IN 1910 Halley's comet brushed
its tail over the earth, but ap-
parently the electric repulsion de-
veloped prevented the gases Of
the tail from entering the atmos-
phere. II is possible that in every
case this would occur. so that

Men of Family Expect
Elaborate Menus on
"Penny" Allowances.

Furthermore, the wage earners
of the family have figured down
her housekeeping expenses to the
last possible penny, and she Is
not given one cent more than the
actual cost of food and fuel and
rent on which to run the place.
And. as If this wasn't enough
tyranny and stinginess, they COM
plain bitterly when she doesn't set
a tenderloin steak table on stew
meat income, and when it isn't
forthcoming the girl is blamed
for not making one dollar do the
work of five.
Nothing could be grayer or
more forlorn than this little
housewives life, and it offers no
prospect of improvement She
can never save up any money
because she has none to save.
She can not dress prettily and go
to places of amusement as does
her sister who has her own pay
envelope. She can not even look
forward to marrying, because her
family cannilv discharges men
callers, because they don't want
to lose their cook.
Besides which Cinderella in the
kitchen hasn't got as good
chance as the wicked sister in
the parlor, no matter what the
fairy tales say. So all that this
girl sees in the way Of a future is
shaving for her family until her
brothers and sisters get married
and she is old, and will have TO
go and be a dependent on some
in-law who doesn't want her.
She's a domestic martyr II
there ever was one, but there
isn't a particle OF use in her being
roasted at the stake. She's got
the remedy in her hands If she'll
only use it. So has every other
domestic woman who is msused,
and put upon in her own family.
And the remedy is just to go

Imposition on Woman Is
Nowhere SO Great as
by Own Kin.

And, above all, she should de-
mand an adequate salary for her
own services.
We talk lot about family at
lection, but as a matter of fact
there are no other people in the
world who impose on us so ruth
lessly as our own. 1t is only his
own wife, or daughter, that a man
expects to slave In kitchen
eight or ten hours a day for her
board and whatever clothes he
chooses to give her. Strangers
have some regard for a woman's
individual rights, but il she gets
them in the family circle, she's
got to stand up and fight for
them.
Heretofore women have re-
garded themselves as helpless.
They have felt that they had to
submit to any treatment that
their menkind accorded them.
What am l to do?" one will
ask. Il work harder than any
slave. I economic and pinch
until l get the last squeal ont Of
every nickel, but my husband
never gives me a penny Of my
own. I have to go to him like a
beggar every time I want a spool
of thread or carfare, and before I
get It I have TO tell what ex-
pect to do with It; and after
have spent 1t have to tell what
l did with It. l realize that this
isn't fair. do Just as much work
as my husband does, and am Just
as much factor in his prosper
ity, but how am to collect what
is due me? I'd be glad and
thankful to get the wages of a
cook paid me as wages, for my
very own, to spend as I like"

THE grotesquely tragic thing
about martyrdom is that 1t
is almost always entirely
unnecessary. The martyr need not
be a martyr If he or she had an
inch of backbone, or thimble-
full of good, hard horse sense,
This is particularly true of the
domestic martyr who is not a pin
feathered angel, as she is painted,
but just plain goose.
The thing that calls forth the
above heartfelt words is the case
of a young friend of mine. This
girl is the oldest Of large fam
lily, and when her mother died
four years ago. she became the
little house mother to the family
She was only l6 then. She is
but 20 now, at the very age
when girl should be most care
free and happy, for these few
years are the playtime in the
average woman's life, and the
only playtime she ever knows.
Instead of that, this girl has
cooked. and cleaned. and washed,
and mended, and sewed for her
father and four husky brothers
and a little sister only a year
younger than herself. She is the
most industrious little creature
in the world, and the best man
ager and a real genius in one OF
the finest of the arts-cooking.
The father, the four big broth
ers and the sister all go out to
work and earn good salaries, but
the girl who stays at home and
slaves from morning till night to
make the balance of them COM
Portable and give them just the
sort of things they want to eat,
is paid not one cent for her labor.

PETROWITZ CZAROWITZ

What strange mixture of pater- nal love and military severity was Peter the Great, What mental struggles must have passed through the mind of this great uplifter of Russia as he weighed in the balance the love of his son and the duty to his people. This prince, by Peters first wife, was a volnptuous youth, in love with a absolute life, ever promising to reform, and just as often breaking his promises.
 When the Czarowitz reached the age when he should have had di- cretion, his father tried to satisfy his one great wish, to leave son to rule the nation he had built, by teaching him the arts which consti- tuted the ruling of Holy Russia. See ing his words had no effect, he sent to his son letter, in it showing all his love for the profiigate off spring. In answer the czarowitZ wrote his father to the effect that he no longer desired the throne of the MuscOVite Empire; that he NOulu upilOlu luc tldlIllS Ol HIS younger brother; that he was not, even if he had the ambition, fit to rule; and, lastly, that he would retire from public life if his father would cnly give him enough money to exist
 The father wrote in answer that Alexis either throw off the friends he had gained and lead better life or renounce all claim to the throne and embrace monastic state. :.
 In reply the prince wrote:
 Most Gracious Sovereign and Father:
 Yesterday morning I received your letter of the 18th of this month My indisposition flinders me iron writing to you at large I am will ing to embrace the monastic state and beg your gracious consen thereto Your servant,
 ALENIS"
 Partly satisfied at this, the mon
