THE RULE OF THE MOTHER,

In America the tendency is to hold the ther responsible for the spiritual tone of the household. This unformulated theory has en pushed to so great an extreme that at igth society is threatened with what has gnated a matriarchate or a return to

primitive state when the child was supp ed to belong to the mother alone. Every can bear testimouy to the fact that the ion and oversight of the child’s education largely under the control of the mother. Even after the youth has entered is She who keeps in touch with his success or

failure. Admirable as this interst may be, wife and chil’, nevertheless, suffer from the want of closer sympathy on the father’s part in all that relates to the things of the spirit. Bes! les, however praiseworthy their intentions may

mothers are not always the most licious ad- visers. The father in many instances Is an in- finitely betier guide; at any rate, his broad contacts with life and his natural force of char- acter make him an ally that cannot safely be dispensed with. All through hee ces a" yan has endeavored to dominate and impress his per- sonality upon the world at ioe until this form

of activity has rendered irksome any more limited field of exertion. te has believed himse] ympeli lled to sing * to the wide world so

tently and copi loudly, in such resonant that he has become

prals ling accents,

i , not omy with the public deed, but with 1 ratorical utterances he finds so pleas- ing t the eatin ear. As a result of these outsi ements St is difficult for him to subdue his voice to individual and immediate teaching. Furthermore, it is hard to persuade the politician and the philanthropist that the reforms needed in the state are first needed in

the home, and that solicitude about other yet onl 's progress might in a measure be spared

if met re ‘primarily soliciticus about those immediate a dependent upon them. The transference of paternai responsibility to insti- tutions, and more especially to the mother,” shows that there is a widespread conviction on the part of fathers that, however it may be with uther people’s children, his own, at least, live by bread alone. Acting upon this belief

he is generous beyond compare in supplying his family with physical luxuries. He is, how- ever, far less lavish with his time and com- panionship. Indeed, he refuses to be bothered about such petty details as the formation of character, the discipline of the child, and the general conduct of the home. Even in the pursuit of his pleasures he often sets an ex- ample of independence which serves to strengthen in the average American household the proclivity shown by its members to fly off in a tangent.

Although there is much for the improve- ment of the mother, she is, in a measure, con- strained to the fulfilment of her duties, The means for evolving the perfected father are, however, more uncertain owing to the existing impediments to the operation of selection. The greater number of eligible wives among well-to-do people as compared with desirable husbands, so far reduces the range of choice that there is no guarantee that the noblest, strongest, or handsomest men will marry refin- ed women, The difficulty here arises in part frorm the fact that men of this class, if poor, are apt to go into remote and uncultivated re- gions and become the husbands of inferior women, while the rich often satisfy the claims of affection without incurring the obligations of the marriage tie. Thus the absence of healthy competition diminishes the chance of developing the best husbands and fathers. — North American.

A LESSON IN ECONOMICS. |

A Young Ween Gives a Young Man Some Valuable Tips.

Again it is a Washington girl.

This time she appears as an angel of economy to a young man who needs that kind of angelic administration about as much as any other young man in the Oapital City, and she is just as successful as if she were trampling him under her scornful heel and making him feel how utterly helpless man is in conflict with the irresistible.

‘*By Jove ’’ he was saying, ‘‘this sort of thing is simply intolerable!’’

“What sort of thing?’’ she inquired, with admirable poise,

‘“‘Why, I have just had to pay a mes- senger 40 cents to deliver a note up town for me, and he was gone less than half an hour. It would be cheaper to have hired a cab and horse and driver, and still cheaper to have sent it by mail under a special delivery stamp.’’

‘‘What was the note?’’ she asked, womanlike, before she thonght.

‘*A response to an invitation to din- ner.’’

‘*Forty cents is cheap for a good din- ner,’’ she smiled.

‘‘But I couldn’t go,’’ he wailed. “It was a declination, and the 40 cents on top of that. Really, though, this mes- senger service is a rank imposition and should not be tolerated. Twenty-five cents an hour is ample, with short dis- tances at 10 or 15 cents. The conven- jence is easily worth that, but more than that is plain extortion and the greed of monopolies.’’

‘*‘You have my sympathy. You are the more entitled to it because you don’t seem to know any better. Now, why aren’t you as bright as a man I know, who hasn’t any more money than you have? When he has a note or a book to send to a girl, he doesn’t waste 40 cents on a grinding monopoly —oh, that’s what it is,’’ she laughed, as she noted his look of surprise, ““ws have a call in our house, and I am eom- pelled to use it sometimes—but he does a much better thing. He just adds 16 cents to his 40, slips around to the flor- ist’s, orders 50 cents’ worth of violets sent to the girl, puts the note in with the flowers, and there you are. See? Only 10 cents out, and think how much in—for girls do love flowers, oven 50 cents’ worth.’’

The young man began gasping for air.

‘‘Or,”’ she went right on, “if it is the season when flowers are more ex- pensive than messenger service, just substitute candy for flowers. You can get something perfectly levely for 60 cents, and to add a book or pleasant pote tc it makes it well worth the girl’s kindest thought and your 20 cents ex- tra. Now, is the plan clear to your stu- pid brain?’’

Whether it was or not the young woman that very afternoon reeeived a delightful note of thanks for valuable information, accompanied by a 50 cent bunch of violets from a well known florist. —Washington Star.

Precious Meals.

Almost any dish which had to recom- mend it rarity, costliness, indigestibil- ity, and, to our way of thinking, nasti- ness, was sure to take with the Roman epicure. Andif he were unable to make it costly any other way he would add powdered precious stones or gold dust. Nero dined on one occasion from a peacock which was sprinkled with dia- mond dust, and specimens of that bird dressed with gold or with crushed pearls were by no means ararity at the tri- clinia of the moneyed Romans. A dish of parrots’ tongues was a great delica- cy. Buta dish of parrots’ tongues whieh had been capable, when in their proper place, of framing words, was of almost incalculable value, which increased in a direct ratio with the vocabularies of the defunct parrots.

Another bird for which the Roman epicure was in the habit of paying fab- ulous prices was the phenecoptrix, which is believed to have been the ptar- migan. It had its home in the most northerly parts of Scotland and Norway, and as this made it hard to get at the Romans appreciated it all the mere and put it in the same rank with ostriches, buzzards and peacocks. The tongues of these birds were specially prepared, to- gether with the brains, and took the place which a hors d’ceuvre would now take.—New York Post.

- | Recommends Paine’s Celery Compound and Thousands Take Her Advice.

—_—_—

Broken-down Wives and Mothers are Made Strong and Healthy,

That foremost champion of tne world for the advancement of women—Elizabeth Cady Stanton—bhas devoted fifty years of toil and work for the women of both hem- ispheres. She fully believes in the virtues and efficacy of Paine’s Celery Compound. Writing to Wells & Richardson Co. she says:

‘‘Some members of my family have been using your Paine’s Celery Compound, and I heartily recommend it to anyone who is run down or suffering from nervous ills. Hereafter 1 shall always keep a bottle on hand.

Mrs. M. Thompson, Eastern Ave., Toron- to, also writes as follows:

“I feel it my duty to let the public know what Paine’s Celery Compound did for me, aud I trust It will be a benefit to other sufferers.

“IT was much reduced in flesh and ina thoroughly broken-down condition reeult- ing from dyspepsia and nervousness. = | was recommended to try the Compound; | did so, and three bottles have made mea different woman.

‘Previous to taking your Comyound I bad taken medicine trom some of the best doctors in the city, but with no good re- sults. Therefore 1 have every reason to be thankful for Paine’s Celery Compound, and take great pleasure ii in recommending it to others,”

CROSSING THE ATLANTIC,

feme Hints on Manners It Were Well to Observe at Sea.

The shortness of the voyage has largely killed off the cordiality which is apt to break out among fellow passengers long at sea together, despite themselves. This short period of good fellowship is not so repugnant to an experienced traveler as to some others if there happen to be agree- able people on board. He does not misun- derstand civility as an effort on the part of the people to make his acquaintance. He knows enough te mind his own business on sea or land. But the man who relaxes conventionalities not at all on shipboard is apt to have a pretty dull time, which, however, is just what a dull man likes. A civil word, a passing remark, or even two remarks, can do a person of tact no harm por lead to social complications later. A friendly attitude is more sen- sible than standing conspicuously aloof from everything or than _ repressing all signs of interest in existence or than rigidly disregarding the fact that any one is on the ship besides oneself, and de- fensive airs are generally p= least they are airs.

Seme Americans seem to think that a haughty demeanor will have the effect of a title upon their fellow passengers. But it generally does not. Sir Walter Scott is credited with repeating Montaigne’s re- mark that every man knew some one thing better than he did, and when he mét a stranger, therefore, he engaged him in conversation to find that one thing out. In Scott's day to be acourteous gentleman or & gracious lady under all circumstances was not considered bad form. One of -the most popular men I ever saw on shipboard was a New Yorker whose family, whose social position and whose public station and influence are most enviable. Wherever he is is the best society. On the tripI have in mind he seemed to have said or done or looked something amiable toward everybody. Yet I don’t believe anybody tried to presume upon his civility then or afterward.— Lewis Morris Iddings in Scrib-

IT IS IMPORTANT THAT YOU HAVE THE BEST.

When it is necessary to have an import- ant and delicate surgical operation per- formed we call in the very best surgeon. When we have money to put away we deposit it in the safest and strongest bank. When we have home dyeing work todo it is wiedom to use the safest, strongest and fastest dyes.

Years of test work and experience prove that Diamond Dyes are the best in the world—the dyes that give the grandest and most satisfactory results.

If you are unfertunate enough to be talked into buying the low grade dyes—the imitations that are sold fur the sake of large profits—your goods will certainly be ruined and your money thrown away.

See that your dealer gives you the Diamond Dyes when you ask for them. Every package is warranted,so that you are fully protected against loss.

rh PRIMITIVE MAN.

fle May Have Been Evolved Upon the American Continent.

Is. the Connecticut river valley reptiles left their tracks on the mud flats—since turned to sandstowe—and a few skeletons also have been found. The bodies of a race of wreat reptiles that were the lords ‘of creavion of their day have been dissipated to their elements, while the chance inden- tations of their feet as they raced along the shores, mere footprints on the sands, have been preserved among the most imperish- able of the memory tablets of the world.

Of the other vertebrate fossils that have been found in the eastern portions of America, among the most abundant and interesting are the skeletons of mastodons. Of these one of the largest and most com- plete is that which was unearthed in the bed of a drained lake near Newburg, N. Y., in 1845. This specimen was larger than the existing elephants, and had tusks 11 feet in length. It was mounted and de- scribed by Dr. John C. Warren of Boston, and has been famous for half a century as the ‘‘ Warren mastodon.’”’

But to the student of racial development as recorded by the fossils all these sporad- ic finds have but incidental interest as compared with the rich western fossil beds to which we have already referred. From records here unearthed the racial evolution of many mammals has in the past few ‘years been made out in greater or less de- tail. Professor Cope has traced the an- cestry of the camels (which, like the rhi- noceroses, hippopetemuses and sundry other forms now spoken of as ‘‘old world,’’ seem to have had their origin here) with much completeness,

A lemuroid form of mammal, believed to be of the type frora which man has de- scended, has also been found in these beds. It is thought that the descendants of this creature and of the other ‘‘old world’’ forms above referred to found their way to Asia probably, as suggested by Profess- or Marsh, across a bridge at Bering strait, to continue their evolution on the other hemisphere, becoming extinct in the land of their nativity. The ape man found fossil in the tertiary strata of the island of Java two years ago by the Dutch surgeon, Dr. Eugene Dubois, and named Pithecanthro- pus erectus, may have been a direct de- scendant of the American tribe of primi- tive lemurs, though this is only a conjec- ture.—Henry Smith Williams, M. D., in Harper's Magazine
