THE CREAT UNSATISFIED. The men who arc not satisfied Are they who net the pare Tin men who do not meet defeat With calm, contenlcd face; The men who labor on and on. With minda and finger skilled They are the great unsatisfied ' Who plan, and fight, and build. The men who are not satisfied J They are the one who lead; , They foreo humanity ahead ! By strident word and deed; They bring ua out of bygone ways; They guide ua through the dark To where some man, unsatisfied. Has eet a ahining mark. The men who are not satisfied They gird the world with wires; They belt the land with rails of steel, i And pierce the air with spires; They loose the leash of sweet content With which mankind is tied. We'll never pay the debt we owe The men unsatisfied. -V. D. Nesbit, in Baltimore American. ITS queer how some of those bright est, best college fellows fail to "land" when the real struggle bo 4 gins. Take Inghnm, for Instance; he was the star of every year from freshman to grttdimtlug, a football hero nud a man among the many men of his year. And yet when he left college nml startetl In "on his own hook," so to speak, he didn't seem to be appre ciated. Ills mother said he was too modest; his father said he was a dreamer, nml .Marie Franz, who had worshiped him at school, said: "Give him time; he's n bit slow, but he'll get there." She went to Chicago to study music the same week that saw Ingham In stalled ns a clerk In the Bank of ('res ton. A clerkship In a country bank Isn't calculated to emblazon the genius of any man, but the Job looked alluring to Ingham, who was poor, and he took It because he loved his mother and wanted to nurture her old age. He wrote queer, rambling letters to Marie every week and in answer got words of cheer, praise nud encouragement. She told him that Chicago was "the place," and that half the successful men might go to school to hi in with profit. When Ingham's mothtv died he had a few hundred dollars saved up and tho funeral expenses left him enough to pay his way to the city. It took him three weeks to find employment, nud then he was a bit ashamed of his posi tion. BUI clerk In a soap factory Is not the situation calculated to thrill the vanity of a college graduate, but Ingham could have borne his humilia tion better if a visit to Marie had not 'WHAT ABE TOV COINO TO DO, JOE?" SUE ASKED. been a necessity to his life. He con cealed from her the fact of his pres ence until he hod found work, and then, with a swelling heart nnd a sense of his degradation he called at her ad dress in Woodlawn. Ho found her a woman and remem bered her ns a co-ed. She was glad to see him, nnd therefore he was sorry he had come. He intended to bare his confidence to the girl who had been his chum ut college, but to the radiant woman whom he saw and who called him "Joe" with an odd mixture of fa miliarity nnd reserve, he could say nothing at nil. So he sat dull and hec tic while she chattered oway about her successes, her hopes, her friends, memories. Then: "What are you going to do Joe?" she asked. "I don't .know exactly," he said, flushing wllh the memory of his soap factory. "You know, Miss Franz, I r "Miss Franz!" she ejaculated; "since when, pray? Here I am calling you .Toe and you come back with 'Miss Franz.' Now, don't do that, Joe." "Well, theu, Marie." he resumed, the pallor of hope whitening his good face; "well, you know I haven't much choice. It's a case of work with me. I haven't a sou. you know, and what ever I do at first, anyway must be for the money there Is In It. I've got a place " "Oood for you," she laughed. "Good boy. And you Just came. I told you It was only n question of nerve." "I think I huvn that." he was say ing, but she rattled nheud: "Look nt Charley Hughes. lie's here, already a rising some say a brll-Kant-young lawyer. Why, you nl ways excelled him at college, dldn'1 you, Joe? Of course, he's a lovely fel low (Ingham winced again) and I like him ever so much, but the point Is, he's no smarter than you, Is he?" "Why, I didn't know Hughes was here," said the diffident Joe. his gorge rising at the thought that ptrhaps Ma rl had already seen so much of his old classmate that her Interest la him self was secondary; "do you seo much or Dim?" "Yes; we're great friends, you know; that Is well, be calls about twice a week." and her big blue eyes studied tho carpet till she felt that Joe was lookl.ig at the clock. Then she re timed: "By the way, can't you come out to our Browning Club meet Thursday. Char Mr, Hughes is to be there, and you ought to begin to 'mix' a little, as they call it. He's going to give a read lug of some sort. You and I can go . -win you go wim mei" Joe wob alert now. "You mny bo sure I will." So they agreed to go to the Browning ynipfcs.tiin, and Ingham went home with a new hope, mid on Indomitable 'Merm'iiatkiu In his guileless heart. They were In the west-bound cars, radiant, expectant nnd happy, going to the club, and sure of the old camera derle, when Ingham, seeking for a topic, aald: "By the way. Miss Marie " "Just Marie will do," she corrected. "All right, Marie; but talking of Hughes you said he was on to-night's program lo you remember the medal he got or that essay junior year?" "Yes, Indeed; It was about woman, wasn't It?" "Well, ye; about mothers the title was 'The Chi Isliau Mother.' How did you like that?" "It was grand! Don't you remember how everybody carried on over It! Why, I never did tnke any interest In Char Mr. Hughes till he delivered that oration. Don't you know how mamma cried over It? It was a glor ious thing! I never suspected ho had so much soul, did yon "Well, he never had, ns a matter of tact," whispered Joe Ingham, handing the conductor a dime. "Fact Is, I wrote that oration myself, wrote It for him because he was eaten up with a desire to get a medal. You know he never had much ability, nnd his father was everlastingly nagging him to distin guish himself. lie did distinguish him self that night with my oration. I don't begrudge him tha honor, but he never showed me nny gratitude. Oil the contrary, he always boasted that no man of 'till could have written such a masterpiece." "Why, .Toe," said Marie, coming closer, and with her face drawn and her eves abroad. "Joe, you don't mean It? Why, it wasn't honest: It was a fraud: surely Charley Hughes wouldn't have stooped " "Oh! It was all right to palm off the oration. Marie, but It was the way he acted afterward that hurt me. You know the last time he was at Crouton he never so much as called to see me." And little Marie, wondering nnd flut tered, waited till they were off the car before she said: 'Joe. I'm sorry I didn't know you and Mr. Hughes were ou bad terms. I've promised to let him escort me home to-night, nnd " "Why didn't ho take you to the en tertainment also?" Mr. Ingham was nettled. 'He said he'd bo too busy a lawsuit or something. On, lies dreadfully busy, Joe. But I told him I'd go to supper with him afterward and and I hope you'll not be offended." "Not nt all. Mar.'e," he said coldly. "Go ahead. I'm accustomed to getting left." And poor Mario was most unhoppy when they entered the crowded hall. The usher could not find two chairs to gether for them, so Marie Rat In the front row nud Joe Ingham, In a sullen mood, sat three rows behind her. When the time came for Charles Hughes to appear the chairman of the meeting .stepped forward nnd said: "The next number ou tho program Is a paper by Mr. Charles Hughes, the eminent young lawyer. Is Mr. Hughes In tho house?" There was n bustle about the doors nud directly Mr. Hughes "Stupidity" Hughes, ns the college boys used to call him, entered nud rushed forward with a great show of bustle. He mounted the stage, took a sip. of water and jaiil: "Ladles and gentlemen of tho Brown ing Club, friends and fellow citizens: I have been so busy with numerous uew and old law cases within the past few days that I've been unable to pre pare a set address. However, In a few moments of leisure this afternoon I dashed off a little paper, entitled 'The Chrlstnal Mother. " At the words Marie Franz looked around nud her blue eyes blazed wheu Joe Ingham smiled n knowing smile. Then Mr. Hughes, "tho eminent young lawyer," launched into the resonant and rounded periods of his "dashed-off address. .Too and Marie met in the crush nt the door when the show was over, Mr. Hughes was yet the Hon of tho dissolv ing audience. Women were weeping as they shook his hand. "Well, good-night, Marie," said .To with a quizzical look In his eyes. "Was if your oration?" slio whis pered, looking resentfully at the crowd about Hughes. "Word for word," answered Joe. "Let's go home, Joe, dear," she mur mured. And when the orator of the evening came for tho praise that was to be the breath of his nostrils the hall was very empty. John H. Kaftery, in the Chicago Ilccord-IIerald. Tim Extent of Our KullioHds.

JIIHHES' BUI 111' WAIST. lllil 111 DOMESTIC SERVICE IN CHILE. rha Maids Are Much Like Oilier Ulrlslo Other Lands. Senorita Carolina Huldobro, of Chile, the other day gave a lecture in Boston on the women of her country. Her account of the domestic service question Is Interesting. "There nre two kinds of cooks," she nld. "Advertisements rend: 'Wanted, a cook with bed Inside,' or 'Wanted, a cook with bed outside.' The latter sort of cook can always be had. Domes tics prefer the 'bed outside,' because n cook who does not sleep Iu the house has more liberty. She does not begin quite so eavly in the morning, her Distress cannot get quite so much work out of her, nnd she can steal n little more; yet her services in the main nre satisfactory. After dinner every even ing the cook comes for orders ns to the next day's meals. Even. If unablo to rend, she will remember every ltom of nn elaborate menu. She Is given a certain nmouut of money to buy the provisions; for everything Is bought In small quantities. Just enough for one day. The cook will only cook; she will not wash the dessert dishes, for that belongs to tho table girl's work; the tablo girl will not clean the knives, for that belongs to the 'boots.' The washing is all done out, nnd the clothes are brought back In from three days to tlve weeks. "The laundress uns most winning ways, nud often briugs her employer flowers nud candy; but she asks for n dollar for soap for each washing, ami has to bo closely watched. Every ser vnut who lives In the house briugs her own bed nnd furniture. A girl from the country will arrive with only a thin mattress nnd one poor coverlet, nnd will leave at the end of three or four years with a cartload of goods thnt she hns accumulated. When several servants nre leaving at once, with their bedding and furniture. It looks as if tho whole family were moving out. "The women of Chile nre not of mixed race. They arc pure Spanish, nnd of the finest blood of Spain. They speak Cnstlilau Spanish, und have the general characteristics of Spanish women. They nre well educated, the daughters of the rich in private schools, the others In the public schools. The Nation offers free education to both boys and girls, from the primary school clear through the university; nud prom ising young men and women nre ufter ward sent abroad to study from three to Ave years nt Government expense. Oue of the most distinguished physl ehius iu Chile to-dny Is Dr. Ernestlna l'erez, a washerwoman's dnughter, who showed so much talent as a child that she wiis educated in Europe by the State. In Chile no genius is lost to tho world on account of poverty. "Of late years, with the growth of educational facilities for women, zeul for education bus sprung up. We have women doctors, lawyers, authors nnd newspaper correspondents. There were last year In the University of Chile thirty-eight women studying medicine, four studying dentistry and eight studying law. Of the eight law stud ents, Ave did not menu to practice, but were taking a law course to en able them the better to manage their lurge properties." How Philippine Women Dress.? A native Philippine womuu, dressed for a gala day, presents a strange con trast to her newly found sisters of the far-off American cities. Tho tailor made girl would scarcely admire her, but she uppeals to an urtlst's lovo of plcturesqueuess und color. Her flow ing skirt is of gay colors bright red, green and white being tho common choice. The length of train, nud wheth er the garment be of cotton, silk or satin, depends ou her means. Corsets are not yet In fashion, but a chemi sette, which Just covers her breast. Is iu common use. To this chemisette nre udded Immensely wide, short sleeves. Her hair is brushed back from her forehead, without a parting, nnd colled Into a tight, flat chignon. In her hand she carries a fan, without which she would feel lost. Her head Is covered with a white mantle of very thin material. Finally the toes of her naked feet are partly covered by a kind of slipper, flat like a shoe solo, with no heel, and Just enough upper to enable her to thrust two or three toes Inside. So much for tho Philippine wonieu who live In "Quality street." On the other bund, a peasant woman going to mar.tet presents n very different appearance. Shu has no flowing gown, but wears a short skirt of cotton. This is covered by a rectangular piece of stuff; us a rule, Of blue, red or black. This outer garment Is tucked In at the waist, drawn in very tightly around the loins, nnd hnngs over tho skirt a little below the knees.

Brilliant Work or Club Women, Thirty-six of our States have success ful systems of traveling librarleii as one result of the labor of club women. Everywhere, too, the public library Is blossoming in country towns from seed planted, watered and nourished by the women's clubs, standing alwuys for the education of the common peo ple. New Jersey club women nre making a successful effort to preserve the Pullsades, and Minnesota Is leaving no stone unturned to preserve the beauti ful plue forests of 200,000 acres on her northern borders for a Nutiouul park, In towns Innumerable clubs are bringing about reforms, Improvements in tlie public schools, tree-pluntlug, and co-operutlou between parents and teachers.

The Criterion. Women as Journalists. Of the thirty-seven newspapers In the American Colonies at the time of tho Revolution several were owned and managed by women, according to the Boston Transcript. The first newspaper published In Rhode Island was owned and edited by Mrs. Anna Franklin, nnd estab lished Iu 1732. She and her two daugh ters wrote the Items nnd set tho type, nnd their servants worked the print ing press. For her quickness and cor rectness Mrs. Franklin wns nppolnted printer to the Colony, supplying pam phlets to the Colonial officers. In 1772 Clementine Held was publishing a paper In Virginia called the Virginia Gazette, favoring the Colonial cause and grently offending tho ltoynllsts. Two years later Mrs. II. Boyle started n paper under the same name, advo cating the cause of the Crown. Both were published at Williamsburg, and were short-lived. Iu 1773 Elizabeth Timothy started a paper In Charleston, S. C. After the Revolution Anna Timothy became Its editor, and was nppolnted Stnte print er, which positlou she held for seven teen years. About the same time Mary Crouch started n paper In Charleston In vigorous opposition to the stamp net. She afterward moved it to Salem, Mass., nnd continued Its publication for ninny years. New Voaue of the Luce Scarf. The long lace scarf Is entering upon what promises to be n tremendous vogue. It Is used in n dozen ways.

Two long nnd broad scarfs of black Spanish lace have been used In this wny on a gown of white hue richly Jetted, the scurfs buckled together nt tho centre cf the bodice in front, the buckle nt the same time fas tening nn Empire belt pnsslug Just un der the arms. The lace is drawn in high, flat folds over the shoulders, and, crossing nt the back. Is passed under the belt to descend loosWy to form the train. The woman whose cont collnr is flat instead of the "storm" variety, weurs her lace scarf In the form of a veil, nrouud her lint first, nnd then brought forward round her neck nnd tied in a full, fluffy bow under her chin. A brooch of nrt nouvenu jewel work Is used to hold the bow in place. New York Commercial Advertiser. Fantasies lu Cloves. Beaded gloves now!

Darning and Mending- on Sewing Machines "Tears nnd worn places lu cloth fnbrics can be darned most satisfac torily on the sewing machine," writes Marin Purlon, In the Ladies' Home Journal. "Thread the machine with silk or cotton, of tho same color us the fabric. Do not looseu the pressor foot; have the stitch of moderate length; begin the stitching a little be yond the damaged place. For places that nre worn thlu or frayed, put lu rows of stitching, close together. Cross these with other rows of stitching; this will give a smooth, fine texture. Where the fabric Is worn thin, baste a piece of the snmo kind of goods ou the wrong side nud dnru over It. If there Is none of the same ma terial a piece of net or muslin will an swer. If the colors In the fabric are mixed, have the upper thread of the machine of the most pronounced and the under thread of the minor color." Care of Hot Water Bags. Do not put boiling water iuto the bag; fill the bug only about one-half full or a little more, then lay it in your lap before putting iu the stopper, nnd carefully press out the steam.
