By Marcel Provost. The king no longer owns the people ; he Ih a hereditary funetloiiitry who, like the others, renders account to the tribunal of opinion. In return tho people no IpiiKcr demand, ns for merly, any reckoning of their king aB to the BcntlmcntB of his heart Tho kings probably think thnt they have gained In this change of customs; but tho chnugo nbove nil has benefited the people. First of all because tho role of a land owner which they formerly played exposed them to n thousand annoyances. A child brought to the king of Franco provinces of Bpnln. It wns well. Only the con dition wnB that tho provinces should let themselves bo tnken and thnt tho wicked neighbors should telorate the prlzo being taken. And the poor people were obliged to mako wur, nnd to pay tuxes, nil In order to get land which nppnrently did not belong to them at nil. Today tho daughter of n prince who marries a king hears sounding In her ears this sage counsel : "My daugh ter, forget your country nnd tho house of your fnther!" Family, house, religion, everything Is relinquished, loft behind her. Rho must no longer have other nntlonnllty snvo that of her husband. The Idea of a native lnnd Is too clearly preclso; despite theso poetic phrases no ono has tbo right to hnvo two. And the native land of tho roynl groom acquires truly n new citizen.

' PURSUIT OF PLEASURE. By Juliet V. Strauaa. It seems to me thnt tho world hns of luto gone pleasure mnd. One no tices It In nil classes of society ; every body Ytnuts to shift the bent nnd bur den of tho dny onto other people's shoulders and go and have a good time. Tho upper classes set the ex ample; they llvo simply to muiiso themselves they seek n diversion for every passing hour, and are miser nblo If they do not Hud It, Young nnd Ignorant girls nro tho most pitiful mis. mtiiauhh. victims to rich nnd Idlo women's lives. They grasp wildly at a phantom of fine ladyhood In the shape of big hats, gaudy parasols and laco-trlmmcd petti coats. They long for carriages, beaux, flowers, dancing, and they find n cheap Imitation of tho nro they crave In a few wild months of mildness beforo troublo comes nnd all ends In misery nnd sqitnlor. Money Is nil that stands between tho fine lady nnd the poor girl, whose head Is dazzled by tho sight of her. In tho cities peoplo nro spending the precious days of their living nnd working for the snlvntlon of poor girls, striving to give them glimpses of tho pleasure they long for, so thnt they will not get It In a forbidden way. Trying to tench them tho beauty of holiness and to open before them tho sweetness and light thnt lies along the narrow path of duty. It Is n blessed work. It Is uselets, questioning Almighty plans nnd destinies, but 1 woner, oh I wonder, why (lod made women friv olous nnd weak, when they hnvo such need to be sober nnd strong! Why did He Implant In their souls tho pas sion for finery and dlsplny? Nobody but a woman can know Just how a young girl longs for the roes and llllei of life; Just how the swish of silk skirts nnd tho spnrklo of bright rings moke her feel. Then, too, there is tho woman's desire for some ono to pny attention to her; to take her about. All this Is simply womanly; It Is Inno cent, but It leads straight down to tho pit, und ono can not help nsklng why Clod made It so. ssssnsa CJ "BIO HEAD. LITTLE WIT" SCIENTIFICALLY TRUE. By Andrew Lang. A vast amount of argument nnd discussion has taken place regarding the relation of brnln size nnd weight to the Individual capacity. To-day tbo brain surface has been mapped out with a gratifying amount of exactltudo The functions of certain deeper seated regions hnvo still to be determined; but, even as re gards tho general functions of the central parts of the brnln, wo are In possession to-day of n fnlr nmount of knowledge. Popular opinion lenns strongly towards the side of tho belief thnt n big bend means tho possession of n brain of more thnn nverngo qunllty. It forgets thnt tho snylng, "Big bend, little wit," holds Just as true. It also neglects to tako Into account tho fnct thnt many distinguished men hnvo possessed small heads nnd brains of ordinary weight. Men like Scott, Ilyron and Burns possessed hends cer tainly not nbovo tho nverngo size. The explanation why brnln weight, big or smnll, Is no criterion of inentnl ability Is a simple one. The brain of the nverngo man weighs about forty-eight ounces. The great bulk of n brain Is composed of white nerve fibers, which bare no concern with brain work snvc to carry messages to nnd from the body. 'Weighing n brnln Is, therefore, a differ ent thing from weighing so much "mind." It Is really the quality of certain brnln cells which determines tho Individual's mcntnllty. All the rest Is of little nccount. CITIZEN HAS DUTIES AS WELL AS RIGHTS. By Joseph Q, Cannon. We sometimes forget In the Indi vidual effort the push, tho bustle of the movement, that every other Indi vidual has tho samo right to exist that wc have. In my Judgment the greatest dan ger to tho republic comes from tho citizen who refuses or neglects to participate In governing the local, Stnte, and national nffnlrs, and seeks protection from the government to which he does not contribute accord ing to bis ability or menus. The danger Is not tho weakening of tho Federal government, but rather tho failure of the sov ereign states to exercise their function. This danger does not como from tho desire of the Federal government to grasp power not conferred by tho constitution, but rather from tho desire of citizens of tho respective States to cast upon tho Federal government tho responsibility nnd duty that they should perform. Grenter than Inws, grenter than written constitutions, Is an Intelligent and righteous public sentiment. And as wo neglect our duties to the republic wo pny tho penalties na Individual citizens.
