Every woman, before she Is allowed to vote, should be able to make a cher- r pi. Home Is a place where a man can do as he pleases If he is married to the right woman. occupations which may Impair his standing. The business world has a right to know of any business man "not only where he spends bis days, but where he spends his nights." It has a right not only to know his financial standing, but also his status in the scale of social decency. The man who Is faithful to the duties of his office and false to the standards of domestic decency must have his financial credit marked down and the business confidence of his fellow men lowered to the class of extra-hazard ous risks. Why should a girl approve of being called a duck and object to being de scribed as a goose? To those whom It may concern: A Philadelphia scientist declares a man need not die unless he wants to.

It brings the higher moral qualities Into play. Bays Dean Breckinridge of the Uni versity of Chicago: 'The hired girl ( queen In the American household." True, undeniably, but why rub it in! Few girls of 20 are as considerate as one described by a Western newspa per, who wears her hair braided down her back to help her mother to retain an appearance of youth. Why not extend the voting privilege to our American women, with a gentle God blens 'em? It would save lots of trouble, and they are bound to get uhat they want, anyway? King Edward has bestowed knight hood on Lieutenant Shackleton for get ting farthest south. . The lieutenant was lucky In that his performance did not Interfere with the regular business f any other south pole hunter. Knud Rasmussen, a Danish naviga tor, who has lived amongst the Eskl mos and Js married to an Eskimo worn an, says Cook went to the pole all right.

A learned doctor lays the blame foi the Increasing baldness that is becom ing apparent among women, to the men. . Met get bald from wearing silk or other stiff hats, and the disease be comes hereditary and spreads to both sexes. If they would save their hair, the doctor sayB, the human race must establish the fashion by going about their various vocations bareheaded. The reason why the stiff hat Is partic ularly provocative of baldness Is be cause It presses close about the tem ples and cuts off the blood supply to the head. It might seem that the monstrous contraptions with which women surmount their cranhnns would be more Injurious than the light silk or derby male head coverings; but not so. The feminine headgear is fastened on to the hair with hatpins, does not press upon the tissles at any point, and permits the free circulation of air through the hair and all around the scalp. In fact, the feminine hat, out landish as It often appears, Illustrates in all Its forms the superior genius ol women In solving the problems ol clothes. The women demonstrate It also by dressing In such a manner as to appear cooler and more comfortable In summer and warmer Iti winter, to say nothing of the degree to which their garments excel those of the male sex In beauty of detail and general ef fect.' It Is difficult to Imagine what the poor male of the human species is covering. The ladles can go bare- going to do about this matter of head headed. If they choose, without much Inconvenience or lack of ornamenta tion, because they can dress their abundant hair In becoming ways, and Its mass furnishes an adequate protec tion against the weather, even in the cold season. But there are compara tively few men past the first flush of youth who have enough hair to keep their scalps warm or protect It from the rays of the sun. And If they adopt a light, soft hat that will not press upon the temples, how are they going to keep It upon their heads on a windy day? The matter might be arranged for the coming generation. Boys could be taught to go bareheaded and thus save their hlrsuite heritage; but the case of the mature or middle- aged man who Is already inclined to baldness Is rather a sad one. DIVORCE OFTEN A ELESSINQ. By Juttlce Henry B. Brown. There Is no question connected with the ad ministration of the law so fertile of litigation and so exacting of public attention as di vorces. That separation of church and sta'te which is a. cardinal principle of American Jurisprudence is nowhere more applicable than in that which concerns the marriage re lation. it is not perceived why the partnership cre ated by marriage should so far differ from a commercial partnership, that one may be dissolved at pleasure, while the other 19 absolutely Indissoluble. A proper re gard for the Interests, of the state as well as the perser vatlon of domestic happiness would seem to require that when the whole object of matrimonial compact had been defeated by the habitual, persistent and uncontrollable conduct of either party and that relation which should represent the acme of human happiness Is made to stand lor all that Is most repugnant to our desires and anticipations a severance of the ties should be per mitted. The clergy have generally been outspoken In denun ciation of the acknowledged evils of divorces and dis creetly silent in respect to their utility, Ignoring the distinction between the causes for which they may be granted and the procedure by which they are obtained. I cannot, recall a divorce fairly obtained, without fraud and upon due and personal notice to tha other side that did not apparently redound to the welfare of the parties and prove a real blessing. HOUSEWORK AS EXERCISE. - By Margaret Hubbard Ayer. There are all sorts of ways for a woman to exercise in the house and accomplish work at the same time. And she is doing more than accomplishing housework. She Is accomplish ing a good figure, which should make house work worth while If nothing else did. Women who live In hotels and boarding houses usually get too fat, because they have nothing to do, and religiously taking a walk every day is not enough. If a woman does her own housework and goes at It with the Idea in view of mak ing it do for physical culture, Bhe will be surprised at how many different things tihere are in connection with her work that will answer for gymnastic exercises. Sweeping Is an excellent exercise for developing shoul der and chest muscles, but better still is the carpet sweeper, which la as good as any gymnastic apparatus. Dusting and rubbing both may be used for physical de velopment, and there Is a kind of foot polisher for wax ing floors that might have been invented purposely for fat women. If there is a force pump in the bouse, like- the ones used In summer cottages for filling tanks. -la tha attic, the house worker will find the best sort of exercise ready-made for her benefit, which will probably please the men of the family whose reluctant duty H usually Is to keep the tank full. N corsets should be worn when working the force pump. The body should be free to follow the movement of the handle. Work for five minutes, then rest a bit and start In again, resting and working alternately for twenty minutes or half an hour. If housework Is done intelligently and quickly, with-' out any dawdling, the worker gets all the benefit of the exercise without belnr worn out. That Is why so many women are exhausted over housecleaning, because they don't know how to do the work, and scatter their forces by not being thorough. ARE RICHES A BLESSING? By E. S. Martin. Imperfectly as wealth still performs its proper functions' Is it not better geared to them than It has been In times past? Of course a lot of It is wastefully used; but not, even now, so great a proportion of the total wealth as appears, because the wasteful dm of It Is apt to be far more conspicuous than the fruitful use. Besides the very large share of the total wealth that goes to maintain life in no more than reasonable comfort, and to enlarge the opportunities and better the lives of those who have it, there is a constant expenditure of slices and shares of the incomes of the greater fortunes in works of studied and tested benevolence, and, above all, in promoting ed ucation and the discovery of truth. So common is this use of superfluous money by Individuals as fairly to give ground for the suspicion that the limitations of the profitable use of money for personal advantage are be ing better appreciated. Those of us that have learned a little, really want, not money, but life the "more abundant life" that Is worth having. We want money, in bo far as It promises increased life; but, looking about at the various people who have money abundant ly and superabundantly, it is easy to see that, beyond a certain point which many attain, the mere command of money does not give the coveted Increase of life. Ex cessive fortunes seem as apt to blight life as to expand it; and when they do blight It breeding selfishness and laziness, narrowing association, relaxing fidelity, and paralyzing effort they bring, not envy, but contempt on their possessors. There seems to be nothing profitable to do with the more enormous fortunes, the rolling up of which has made so many observers anxious, but by hook or crook to devote the bulk of them to securing the welfare of the people from whom they were derived. Harper's Magazine. In cases of collisions and accidents at sea, salvage will be paid on human life as well as on property. Life, by this provision, Is made as valuable as property, though, on the other -hand, some might argue that life Is above all price and that Its salvage is merely a plain ' duty.

"Playing In dian," If the sport keeps up with the times, may become a game of manag ing a successful farm Instead of scalp ing white settlers. FEET OF SEA BEASTS.
