Then, In the Hist iltv. the thiiiR Is emphasized. An AiniMlciiu, after the pilmal shock ho Bets from the aspect of the men's ttoiisois, which nre built In Germany upon tho pattern of a section of sheet lion stove pipe. Is mot strongly impiosed bv the fact thnt the women seemingly do all the oik or all the wink that Is hnid enough to bo called so. In u place like this, perhaps the met typical of German cities of the old style, piw minute's walk from the hotel shows that the hod-cairlers an all women, that the laboieis on the stteet cur lines nte likewise women, that a lnrite poitlon of the convey ances In the streets aie small cans pulled by women In part net ship with dogs, thnt most of the wood-choppers nre women, nnd that everywhere, un der most clrcumstaiues In which the labor Is rough and menial, the woman Is doing the bulk of the woik. while the man, even If pretending to help, Is mainly occupied In watching her efforts with approbation. It In not only In the lower walks of life that the proposition is to be te marked peasant or noble, the destiny of the German woman Is work. Wheth er it be manual labor, or meiely the vexing details of practical house keeping', few German women escape: If, on (he one hand, the work Is 111" ndapted to woman's strength and of ten Injurious to health, on the other it is none the less exacting and weary ing. Hut it is. according to the Ger man code, obligatory. Woman Is not supposed to have nn equal tooting with man, and she hei-elf would be the last to expect or demand It. For so is she trained--and has been for generations. Social usage even de clares that she cannot speak to a man until he has spoken. She may glance fit him In the street, but she miiv not recognize him until he has signified his desire to be recognized. That is the flrst aitlcle of the social law. nnd It Is followed by otheis rs arbitrary or mine so. Woman's lights Is a sub jei t that has been heard ol mostly in whispers in Germany; but Geimaiis, den'-'dy, pot haps, have heard It spoken t as If it were the name of a new vntiety of ueumbcr. The new wo man, if bhe dated to appear, would doubtless be legarded by most of .them with the same indifference as the fiult itself. FAMILY LTFJ1. If an American should go on a Sun day afternoon to u row cvt at one of the big Munich brcwoiics he would eo all about nlm evidences of that beautiful German family life whldi Is tiadltlona).

Ab for tne sausages, mnterf.imllas declares that she "has no hunger," and the children aie mip posed to be in the same condition. Tho thereupon watrh papa while he bolts Ills s,.ius.ige. nnd th" dog gets the skins. This is not always the nio cedui but it is usually so.

It te maiiiM with themselves, then, to make good the deficiency; and It Is Just there that the most poignant features of the Get man woman's lot become npp.it ent. Thete are uu teinutieratlve situations open to women In Get many. HooKkeepers, stetingraphets, milliners and dtessmnkers tecelve wages which are only n degtee loss pathetic than those eat lied by shop-gltls.

It Is held bv employets, with n cyn icism that desuves a woiye name, that women wuge-eaineis do not ic qulre lllng wages for the leason that they are capable of receiving outside aid. When they live with their fam ilies they doubtless lecelve that aid; and too often they are dilven to In vite it, whether they live with their families or not; but the great mass of honest woiklng gills nte obliged to prnctlc self-denial to nn extent which would frighten an American glil Into disability to petfoim any work nt nil. There are shop glrN hoie In Munich, for Instnnce who live and have lived lot yeais. on wage i aging fiom $7 to $10 a month, paying for their lodging, their food and their clothing. It Is a blessed thing for them thut they can got furnished rooms for ti a month, a full dinner for 10 tents, and that they me satis fied with a cup of toffee In the morn ing and black btead and beer In the evening, for thnt Is all they get. lleer and black bread have saved thousands of lives in Geimanv. AS WAITRESS!:?. Thoie N, however, one situation that a gill may get, the earnings of which nie mote than likely to be good, viewed from the Geiman standpoint that of 'values In a teslaurant or beer saloon the terms are pi.nctleally ajnony mous. The woik of a kellneilu Is not neatly so much like dtudgeiy as most other woik for women Is. her earn ings depend Inrgely upon her petson tility, she weais good clothes and her opportunity for making male ac quaintance, with maiilage as a po tentiality is of the best. Hut all girls may not become kellneiinnen, some, indeed, consider the situation not le spectable. on account of the associa tions nnd their usual consequences. Then they must lie ptetty. otbeiwlse they will earn little oi nothing, even If they get the place, nobody knows better than the vvlith how.comel.v gills diavv custom, and that is all he asks of them.

The Intel nation al lesson cotumlttee made the topic of the day "Temperance Lesson " I'll fortunately, the passage selected ion tains only u single elnue tefeiilnc to Unit subject (verse 17), nnd that In suboidlnnte. It is never ptuden't t illstott Scrlptute, even to support n good cause Indeed, such a course In .lines u cuuse The verses which we shall study foitn part of a continuous dlscouise, In which wisdom (chapter 1. JU) is pcrsonlllcd nnd Is topresented as giving fatherly Instruction to a son Taken in their connection nnd held to their otlginal design, they may be made very helpful, especially to tho young Without douot wisdom Is here synonymous with religion, although many have understood It to be the title given to the iiggrcgntcd expeiience of the ages, 'j'he writer, with great In sight and skill, sketches phases of the Intel lor nnd exterior life, together with the seciets unci consequences of good and of evil. In conducting the study of this Augment, therefore, a mote comprehensive topic has been given ns above. LONG MFG. The lesson opens with an exhoitation to hear. (Verse 10) Then, as now, thete was stiong dispo sition on the part of the young to turn a deaf eat to the voice of expeiience. The leason is obvious. The young nre governed Inigely by the senses, while hope nnd Imagination prevent the mnie thoughtful consideration of duty nnd destiii) Tin y are liable to be annoyed by th" sayings of their seniois, who, lemembeilng the past and bringing fot wntd the truths learned bv mlatntr, would cnutlon those who come nfter. Having passed over life's way once, thev nie prepared to teach ami ought to be heard. Surely, they who leain how to live may live long.

The promise hcio made rests upon philosophical jmlnel ples not less than upon Scilntute statements. (Gxodus, xx, 12.) Those who love God have tight to expect many uavs in which to serve Him. (I'salin xcl, 1C.) I51GHT WAY. -The value of human life Is not to be estimated by Its duta tion .Voie existence is not life at all Hence wisdom seeks to Introduce his son Into the right way of living, (veise 11) and that by a two-fold process, by teaching and leadln-. By the one method thoie is opened up to the un derstanding those meat rules of life that he right may appear attractive: by the other Inducements nre arreted to poistiacle one to follow that light course. These two methods, theory and piactlce, supplement each other. The 111 st foi ms principles, the second foini" habits, and both are necessary.

That Is the daily poitlon, without vail atlon, of toity-ulue out of lifty Goimnn servants. Huter Is unknown to her, as the splilt of selilshliesfl, that the ptoin Ised good might lie obtained, while yet theie was little tegard to the Injunc tion Itself. This frequently occurs among the young who listen to father or mother only becuuse they deem It prudent to do so. Hut here the advice Is to take "fast hold" of the good words. Uc eager to undei stand, delight in them, let them not slip, hold them In the memoiy, medltute upon them.

Various considera tions prompt one to keep company with those who do not live tightly, nnd In that company to fall gradual!) into their practices. (Psalm 1 1.) While to an extent this Is unavoidable In our mixed state, et the warning Is timely. (Prov. I. 15) and should he heeded by all who deslie to maintain their in tegrity. The very touch of sin tones down the moial sense, leads to Indul gencb and ultimately to corrupt ways. (1 Cor. xv : m.) How wholesome thete fore lie tho precept of the lesson. "Avoid the evil waj. pass not by it, turn fiom It, and pass awav." Keep out of all those places whete sin abound", keep as tor away as possible; do not suffer youiseir to try any ex periments In this matter.

Uut this time It Is not merely the way of wisdom, pieFontod In ' erse 11 good because legtllated by vlttlie, but It Is tho sclf-ehosen path of the Just which Is considered.

In other wot els, the Just man, passing through the vvoild, n.akps a bright path. DAHK WAY. In opposition to this luminous path wisdom calls attention to the way or the wicked, which Is not only evil but daik. (Veise 19) The distinction Is Impoitnnt. It is bad enough for one to enter upon a coiiise of living thut will be beset b) tiotible nt eveiy stop, ending In disaster It Is inllnitely worse to have that coutse so enveloped in uncertainty, so becloud ed thnt the teal cause or the itom--'o will not appear nt any time What moment accident or pot II may ailse no one knows. Walking on In the Im penetrable darkness, stumbling against unseen objects, liable to fall at any moment, without knowing where or how such Is the state of the wicked. (I. Samuel. II. 0 ) The patriarch under stood this. (Job. xvlll, .) Cioplng. halting, stumbling, the sinner passes along his way (Isaiah, lix. 10), un able to go forwatd or backwaid or to cither hand with composure (Jeiemlnh, Nxlii, 12). niways peering into the gloom for some lay of light and hope, only to be disappointed and tilled with fear.
