"What kind of homo Is It," asks tho paper, "where tho man Is nt tho dally grind by 8 a. m. and hardly sees his home In his basto to get dol lars?" "How does tho American man," It asks further, "accumulate money ns fast ns bis wlfo spends itl" Theio questions must make any American smile, particularly the laBt one. No doubt. Modern Society would be pleas ed to bo ablo to tell Its readers how to make money ns fast as tho American docs. Hut It would bo of no ndvautngo tfl them to know the recipe. Tho fill cacy Is not in that, but in the spirit and the conditions. As a matter of fact, and notwithstanding the European be lief to the contrary, the man in this country strives no harder to mnko money than do the men of Europe. The average European works a lifetime, as hard and as effectively as ho knows how, for a compctcucc. Wo put more Intelligence and enthusiasm Into the strife than they do and our industrial conditions and resources nro more fa vorable than theirs, but the longing for money is no stronger here than else where. It Is doubtful If it Is ns strong. All things arc planned nnd executed on a largo scale in this country wealth-creating among tho rest Eu ropeans may imagine wo live an in tense life narrowed down to tho one aim of getting rich, but they Imagine wrongly. Wo tnke our business affairs no more seriously than they do tneir own. Ours are larger ana orouuer than theirs, but so arc our men larger and broader than their men. We car ry the big load quito as lightly and a good deal more Joyfully than they do tbo light one. And American women do not suffer neglect. Money opens tho way to a broader social life for the average American woman than Is even dreamed of by tho average womau 6f Europe. Tho American wife, even among the less well-to-do classes, has a home of tier own to loot nncr nnu to take pride in. She docs not drudga and dree her life away In a small shop or in the field, as unnumbered thou sands of her European sisters do. She has time and means for as broad an outlook as that of her .husband. She is not merely his wife, but his equal and his comrade. MOUNTAINS ON VENUS. German Astronomer Claims Have Discovered Tnem. to We seem to be getting on familiar terms with neighboring worlds. With Mara and Its Intrlcato system of ca nals. If not its actual Inhabitants, thanks to the delicate Investigations of late years, everybody Is pretty well ac quainted. Now Herr Arcudt, who Is a German, and, therefore, not a trlfler, announces the discovery of mountains on Venus. To observers hitherto the planet has seemed wrapped In an Im penetrable envelope of cloud, which. when near the earth. Is tue cause of Its astonishing brilliancy; but Herr Areudt. who has bad tho Instruments of the Urania observatory at iierlln to work with, considers that he has detected markings on Venus which In dicate tho presence of great eleva tions, seen from time to time through the clouds surrounding It Novel as the suggestion Is, It Is but revival of an old Idea. Long ago Schroter fancied bo saw evidence of mountains on Venus in tho raggedness of the terminator that Is. the line where light and shade meet, such as the Inner line of the crescent moon. He went so far as to measure them. and announced that they were twen ty-live miles high. Hut then no one. bad believed him. Markings have been noticed on the bright planet from very early times, from which It was con' eluded that It rotated in about twen ty-four hours. Its day being the same length as our own. Herr Arendt's ob servations point to the same results. In direct contradiction to Schlapar- elll's famous theory that Venus, held by tidal Influence, always turns the same face to the sun, as the moon docs to the earth. London Globe. Furniture Vans.

There Is no telling wliou tue art or caricature begun. There are a number of grotesque that have come down to us from earliest Egyptian times. The Greeks employed pictures to emphasise their satire, nnd so did the Itomans. All through the Middle Ages there were numberless example of "grotequerle," which, curiously enough, were used lu til enforclug the doctrines of tho Church by means of satirizing tho devil. Hut tho eighteenth century was me ueytiay of the cartoon. . ovorrumilnB thence across the Channel Into England, cnturlsts carried everything before It; nud It Is safe to say that we read the history of the time with clearer vision and with more accuracy of detail for tho mirror which the caricaturists held up to reflect tho striking peculiarities of tho men and events passing before It. Gautlcr mentioned a Spanish cartoonist, Frnuelsco Gaya ture of ltcmbrandt, Wnttenu ond ltabelals, who preceded the two great caricaturists of the latter half of tho elgh' teenth century: George Crulkshauk, In England, and Mous, Charlet, In France. It has been reserved for America, forth a new race of caricaturists, which, ter title, may be called the personal seize upon the characteristics of an Individual and so ex aggerate them that the subjects of the cartoons arc known by tho most prominent features In their physical, mental or moral make-up. Perhaps we American look nt tho more than other people, hut certain It and better cartoonists than elsewhere. The very quick uess with which we boo the point of n Joko demands equal facility lu portraying drollery In a cartoon. We sketch boldly nnd leave much of tho unnecessary detail to our slower cousins. Then. too. our public events happen with, such startling rapidity that a cartoon of yesterday's do ings would ho flat to-day, and we must keep very much nllve nnd be ready for a political chango over night. In other words, tho alert American must have depicted In his cartoon the very traits of character that have made him what he Is the quickest and brightest of men.

Its Essential Teuet Is that Men Shalt ISat No Meat It may not be known to many that there is a Vegetarian Church, whose chief tenet Is that men should cut no meat. This church has only ono meet ing bouse In America ami only forty members here. In England It has only one meeting house, nnd only seventy five members. And yet It Is a church nearly 100 years old. Its American meeting house I In Philadelphia, nnd its American leader Is Hev. Henry S. Clubb, an old-time friend of' Horace Greeley. In ISO" an Englishman, HcV. W.

In their two churches the English one, in Man chester and tho American ono In Philadelphia It Is posslblo to see llttlo children whose fathers nnd mothers, grandfathers nnd grandmothers, nnd whose great-grandfathers and great grandmothers never once in their lives tasted meat; little children are as Ig norant of the taste of meat as ordinary persons are Ignorant of the taste of human flesh. For vegetarianism Is the chief article of their creed. With their century of abstinence from meat they afford a good example THE VIXIETAMAK CHUliCII. of tho effect of vegetarianism on man kind.
