The Average Girl.
I wonder why every one is so ready
to condemn the poor present day girl?
Thé average girl of the present day
has many’ interests and wastes far
less time than -the maiden of the “good
old times.”"—Mrs. Neish in M. A. P.

Hostesses’ Union.
What is wanted is a hostesses’ trade
union, a powerful combination of so-
ciety woman pledged to maintain’ their
own ~selfrespect, and to extinguish
socially any man guilty of the slight-
est lapse of the courtesy which every
woman has every right to expect, says
the Ladies’ “Field. The drawback to
the formation of such a society lies in
the fact that unfortunately being re-
spected neither by men nor each oth-
er, most ‘women do not respect them-
selves either.
Hair, Eyes and Dress.
Women with blue eyes may wear
any color in the daylight, says a dress-
maker of renown who has been letting
the public into her secrets. She lays
down rules by which women who lack
judgment in the matter of colors may
be guided. She advises women with
brown hair to stick to the wide range
of browns, tans and creams, but tells
them they may wear the softer shades
of gray if their eyes have a glint of
hazel. Old women, or those of mid-
dle aze whose hair is turning to white,
she advises to go in for more white in
their costumes. Red is the color she
gives most attention, for it is the color
most women go wrong on, she says.
Highly colored complexions may take
a red hat, this authority asserts, if
the skin is clear, while .on the same
principle those women who lack color
in their faces should place the red be-
low. If the skin is very good, and she
lays stress on the “very,” one may
wear yellow, but only in the evening.

Remarkable English Woman.
Mrs. Josephine XE. Butler, who re-
gently passed away in her seventy-
ninth year, was one of the most =re-
markable English women of her gen-
eration. An untiring worker for the
cause of woman in many ways, she
devoted years of the most strenuous
effort to preventing the passage of a
law providing for the state regulation
of vice in England. She held meetings
in almost” every town in England and
Scotland, often speaking from the tail
of a cart in some market place; visit-
ed workhouses, prisons and hospitals,
and at last, after seventeen years’
hard work, had the satisfaction of see-
ing the bill voted down .in parliament.
Later she organized the International
Federation for the Abolition of the
State Regulation of Vice. Her propa-
ganda was carried on at much personal
sacrifice, and often at no little per-
sonal risk, being denied lodging in cer-
tain hotels and turned out of others as
soon as her name became known,
while often her friends felt obliged to
hustle her out of the reach of mobs.—

Encourage His Hobbies.
Women would find men much easier
tethered to their own firesides if they
would encourage their husbands in
some peculiar hobby, and forgive the
little extra trouble the brushing up af-
terward gives them. The encourag-
ing of a hoppy certainly implies self-
sacrifice on the part of the wife, but,
if she is wise, she will give her “man”
a corner of the home as his own den,
where he can bestow his properties,
make as much littler as he chooses
and work-out his leisure in the pursuit
of his harmless hobby.
Perhaps it may take him many
hours to turn a soap box into a corner
cupboard, but-do not laugh at the work
of art when it is finished. Praise it
rather. It is better for a man to do
such things in his odd hours than at-
tend a football match, bet, drink, and
lose his situation, says an exchange.
His example, too, will lessen the labor
in the training of your family, for his
eye will be on the young people, and
they will in “helping father” learn to
find home the most blessed spot on
earth.—indianapolis News.
How Love Is Lost.
Love is lost by thoughtlessness, by
inconsideration, and by selfishness
more than by any other way.
Because one loves you is that any
reason you should be inconsiderate of
:them?
There is a false idea afloat in the
‘stream of life, that when people love
us we can be rude to them, that be-
cause they know we love them they
will forgive every lack of courtesy.
This is absolutely untrue.
The closer two people are united by
the bond of love, the more necessary
it is for them to observe every law of
politeness. ;
Love isn’t so very difficult to gain,
but it’s mighty difficult to keep.
You .can better afford to be rude to
everyone else in the world than to
-those who love you.
Love is a flower that needs constant
attention, and the very minute it is
neglected, left too long in the glaring
and the” unselfishness that goes to
make selfishness, it dies.
And love is never resurrected.
Give those you love words of affec-
*ion, the looks that tell them so much
and the unselfishness that goes to

Reforming Society. ]
An enthusiastic motorist must have
written the following encomium on the
automobile, which is heralded as a
sort of saviour of society. Brains
“Women who give most of their
time and purses to dress ‘have now
turned to the motor car. Their ma-
chines have taken a newer and great-
er interest, and one which gives them
no personal trouble or discomfort.
Many a woman of wealth and position
who some years ago would have had
half a dozen morning costumes now
does with one skirt and a few simple
blouses for morning wear.
“Motors are largely responsible, too,
for slackness of business on Fridays,
Saturdays and Mondays. This is gen-
erally felt in the great cities of the
world.
“They are also the cause of fewer
social functions in the evening. A run
in the air induces sleep and a desire
for rest after the evening meal. Per-
sons are unwilling to enter ®he heated
theatre or close reception room when
overcome with drowsiness.
“Decidedly the motor car is revolu-
tionizing the world of society, which
is bad from the tradespeople’s point of
view, but good from that of the world
at large.”
One of the City’s Throng.
Recently a pleasant faced, elderly,
gray haired woman was riding in a
southbound elevated train. Her at.
tention was attracted and her interest
excited by a bevy of bright and happy
looking young girls who entered the
car at one of the uptown stations.
They fluttered in and quickly but qui-
etly found seats. One of them sat
next to the traveler first mentioned.
Their glances met, and with the priv-
ilege that age confers in such circum-
stances, she addressed some pleasant
remark to her pretty young neighbor.
She was surprised and a little hurt
when the girl, without making any re-
sponse, turned her head and looked
the other way. When the train
stopped at 28th street the whole party
arose and crowded eagerly toward the
door. As this was where the older
woman intended to alight, she arose
also, and so found herself standing.
next to her: seat-mate. She took oc-
casion to say: “I have traveled all
over the world, and I have never hes-
itated to speak a pleasant word to
strangers when I have felt attracted
by them, and I should otherwise have
spent many lonely -hours and missed
making many charming friends. I
think that this is the first time that
my well meant advances have met
with a rebuff.” The girl again looked
into the woman’s face with an abso-
lutely unanswering gaze and then
hurried gayly after her companions.
This second ignoring of her remarks
by the little maiden was a shock to the
traveler, when it suddenly occurred to
her how strangely silent all those fif-
teen or twenty girls had been—going,
too, as it now appeared, to the circus.
She tried to recall if one of them had
spoken a single word—and then, in a
flash, she realized that they were a
Barnum & Bailey bound delegation
from the School for Deaf Mutes. The
ticket chopper is probably still won-
dering what set that quiet appearing,
gray haired woman off into a fit of
almost uncontrollable laughter as she
stood there on the platform.—New
York Tribune.
Fashion Notes.
Swiss watchmakers are making fin-
ger-ring watches.
The button pins are used whicre the
hair is worn on top of the head.
Combs are smarter when made with
plain tops, without knobs or other dec-
orations.
The new hatpins have huge ball
heads of platinum thickly studded
with jewels.
There is nothing prettier than net
for the tuckers which are an important.
part of tlie fashionble dinner gown.
Colored embroidery will be as fash-
ionable for lingerie hats the coming
summer as it is to be for thin frocks.
Stripes are getting wider and wider
as the season advances. The newest
ones are fully three-quarters of an" ‘inch
in width. 47
The plain amber-colored combs and
pins for the blond girl, and those in
dark shell for the brunette, are entire-
ly correct, :
Cuffs, collars, buttons and other
touches of black linen will be seen on
coat and skirt suits of linens in the
dainty colors. ' :
There is no prettier use for the fine
colored embroideries than in making
up dainty matinees, dressing jackets,
negligees, etc.
No ribbons or gauze accompany the
feathers, but at the base is a jeweled
crescent, which is particularly eiffec-
tive in dark hair.
The immense hats trimmed solely
with great chous and enswathirg folds
of tulle have a look of light and airy
grace in spite of their almost unwieldy
size.
2: PULPIT,
A SCHOLARLY SUNDAY SERMON BY
DR. JOHN F. CARSON.
Subject: Signs of Progress.
Brooklyn, N. Y.—Sunday the Rev.
Dr. John F. Carson, pastor of .the Cen-
tral Presbyterian Church, preached
a stirring sermon on “Signs of Pro-
gress. The text was from 1 Chron-
icles 12:32: “Men that had under-
standing of the times.” Here, are
some of the things he said:
Any student of our age will find in
existing conditions much that wars
against truth and” righteousness’ and
honor, -and- that threatens manhood
and the social order. In the political
world there is corruption. Votes are
sold to the highest bidder from the
Senate -to the ward ‘caucus; men,
whose only creed is greed, whose only
patriotism ds pelf, band themselves
together to control political situa-
tions; certain public officials are
growing rich on‘harvests reaped from
the black fields of vice and crinrte. In
the commercial world there is dis-
honesty. For personal gain of wealth
or power men sacrifice principle, com-
promise conscience, become reckless
operators, unscrupulous gamblers,
bandits of banking, highwaymen of
finance. In the industrial world there
is unfairness and injustice. Corpora-
tions ignore the interes: of and op-
press their workmen, crush competi-
tion, defraud the people; working-
men band themselves together to
force employers to their terms, forbid
men to work except on terms fixed by
a union, limit apprentices and so dény
young men their rights, enforce their
demands by violence, p.y homage to
eriminal leadership. In the social
world there are wrongs. The rich
domineer in their swollen pride and
flount their extravagances in the face
of "the poor; the poor sin and suffer,
because herded -in .poverty and
squalor. In all our life is the snirit
of ‘unrest and discontent. Satiety
and languid weariness in parlor and
salon, suffering and sighing in work-
shop and in tenement.
If you ‘tell me that there are un-
scrupulous men who operate schemes
of high finance, I would remind you
that the sentiment of the day is so
strong that many of these men find it
convenient to seek homes in other
lands. If you tell me that there is
corporate theft and labor intoleranee,
I would remind you that, as never
before, there is a demand for the play
of justice and equity-in al! relations.
If you tell me that the rich are defi-
antly extravagant and that the pov-
erty of the poor is appalling, I wonld
remind you that there never has been
a time when the money of the rich
was so readily at the services of the
people as'it is to-day through schools,
colleges, libraries, .homes, hospitals
and innumerable agencies and institu-
tions; and when you cail my atten-
tion to the condition of the sub-
merged, I would remind you of .the
time when most people were slaves,
and I would challenge your thought
to the fact that there never has been
a time when the middle class was so
well-off as it is to-day. If you call
my attention to the deplorable hous-
ing of the East Side poor, I will call
to your mind the report of the Mis-
sionary Society for the Poor of New
York, issued in 1817, which deplored
the existence of small houses, each
crowded with from four to twelve
families, often two and three families
living in a room, and “of all colors.”
If you tell me of the =zaloons and
brothels that are ruining manhood
and ruling in politics, patronized and
protected by political influence, I will
remind you that when the population
of New York was 110,000 there were
1489 licensed retail liquor dealers
and not less than 6000 “abandoned
females’’ added to the vice and shame.
Of course, there is more actual sin
and shame in a city of four millions
of people than there was in a city of a
hundred thousand, but I am per-
suaded that an honest study of condi-
tions will disclose that New York City
is proportionately better to-day than
it was a hundred years ago. There
are dark, deadly things in our condi-
tions, but the moral tone and the eth-
ical standard is higher than it ever
was, and our black things appear all
the blacker because they are viewed
in the light of a whiter background.
There are gigantic evils in our life,
but a gigantic battle is being waged
against them. The struggle is bitter,
but there are signs that it is not fruit-
less. The throes of to-day are the
birth pangs of a better to-morrow.
The light of that to-morrow begins to
dawn. Its sun is piercing the dark-
ness. The east is aglow. The gleams
of a new radiance begin to illumine
the horizon.
First, 1 call your attention to the
demand for the play of righteousness
in all our life—poiitical, social and
commercial. There is a new .and
wide ethical awakening in all our
lan?. Never has the demand béen
so insistent that men shall be honest
in the administration of sacred trusts
committed to them. And the great
majority of our financiers are nobly
meeting that command. We are liv-
ing in a pericd of investigation and
criticism. It is well. 1t is a heaith-
ful tone, if men are sane enough to
discriminate. “ But men -are not al-
ways that sane. In- the presence of
these investigations suspicion creeps
into the mind and men are tempted
to think that all men are dishonest
because some men have been proved
thieves and robbers. It is a fatal mis-
take. I am persuaded that there is
more honest fiber in the life of to-day
than there ever has been. The very
investigations which are being con-
ducted to-day are evidence of a finer
and higher ethical sense than has
heretofore existed.
Second, I call your attention to the
demand for the abolition of such prac-
tices as war against the common weal.
A little while ago that demand was
for the abolition of the lottery. A
Christian postmaster put the Louis-
iana lottery out of business. Just
now the demand in New York is for
the abolition of race track gambling.
Third, I calli your attention to the
triumphs of the temperance move-
ment. The change of sentiment on
the temperance question is one of the
most radical that the country has
ever known. Twenty years ago the
demand for the abolition of the =a-
loon awakened a smile or provoked
a sneer, To-day that demand is the |
fixed purpose of thousands of our fele
low citizens and it is being fulfilled.
Five States—Maine, Kansas, North
Dakota, Oklahoma and Georgia—ars
now prohibition, and in one more
.(Alabama) prohibition becomes oper-
ative on January 1, 1909. Six States
of the Union prohibit the sale or man-
ufacture of intoxicating drinks.
The progress of the temperance
movement in the South is one of the
most significant and -inspiring signs
of our times. Two States, Georgia
and Alabama, have enacted prohib:-
tion laws.” Ninety-five per cent.” of
North Carolina has. declared -against
the saloon. Mississippi has-a prohibi-
tion Legislature and a prohibition
Governor, and ninety per cent. of the
State “has barred liquor. Tennessee
has voted the saloon out of all but
four of its ninety-six counties. Ken-
tucky has near'y a hundred of its 119
counties entirely free from- saloons,
and seventy- -five per cent, of its-pop-
ulation are’ living in.prohibition ter-
ritory. Two- thirds of Louisiana has
no saloons... In Florida thres-fourths
of the -State has voted no license:
In Texas 148. of the 246 counties have
wiped cut the saloon, while fifty-one
other counties are :partially prohibi-
tion, s0 that in only forty-seven .coun-
ties. of the State is. liquor freely sold.
In’ South Carolina .about half the
counties have voted no license. In
Virginia seventy-two counties out of
118; in ‘West Virginia thirty out of
fifty-five, and in Maryland fourteen
out of twenty-three prohibit the sale
of liquor. Twenty out of twenty-
seven milliors of people south of the
Mason and Dixon line live in no liquor
territory. There are more drinking
places, legal and illegal,”in New York
than in the whole South.
The temperance movement is tak-
ing hold on the North. By a majority
of 18,000 out of a total vote of a
little over 100,000, the new State of
Oklahoma declared for prohibition.
Maine, Kansas and North Dakota are
enforcing their prohibition laws with
new vigor. . Two of the three counties
of Delaware have prohibited the sa-
‘loon. Fifty-two per cent. of the peo-
ple of Ohio and Indiana are living in
prohibition territory. Prohibition
claims fifty-eight of the seventy-five
counties of -.Arkansas. The rapid
progress of the movement may be
learned from the story of Missouri.
On January-1, 1905, there were three
counties which prohibited the sale of
liquor; to-day sixty-four of the 115
counties of the State prohibit the
traffic. In nineteen other States ad-
vanced temperance legislation has
been enacted, while there has not
been a single measure adopted by any
State favorable to the liquor traffic.
An effort is being made in the present
Congress to secure such legislation
as will respect the rights and policy
of the States which see fit to prohibit
the liquor traffic.
There is not a single case on rec-
ord where a county, or city, or town
that closed its saloons has reported: a
decrease of business. Much is being
said by the liquor interests about -the
money which they and allied interests
pay.to-the city, State and National
Government for taxes and licenses
and the Philadelphia Liquor Dealers’
Association recently declared in reso-
lution adopted by their convention,
“To eliminate the saloon would be to
undermine the foundation of the
country’s revenues.” This country
does not depend upon blood money
for its support. The fact is the coun-
try would be better off without the
traffic and taxation upon every other
business would be lessened. Fon
every dollar that the liquor interests
pay to the country it costs the coun-
try $20 to maintain the asylums,
homes, almshouses, jails and such in-
stitutions as are created by the liquor
habit and to maintain the courts and
prosecuting machinery. The saloon
is a highwayman of the baser sort
ang a pirate of the worst type. It has
simply been tolerated because it
seemed impossible to get rid of it.
But now the issue is drawn, the battle
is on. The foe is adroit, cunning, re-
sourceful, unscrupulous, desperate.
It is marshalling its forces for a con-
flict, the impact of which will shake
the land. Christian men must mee
this foe with inflexible and deter-
mined purpose. In facing the conflict
it should be clearly understood that
the warfare is not against a legiti-
mate business, a business which men
have an inherent right to pursue.
The traffic is on a status entirely dif-
ferent from any business enterprise.
There is no inherent right to sell
liquor,
The Christian men of America, if
they were wise enough, could take
America for any moral issue. The
manhood of America can rule. But it
must put principle above party and
conscience above compromise and
duty above ease. The manhood of
America, united in the effort and in-
teiligently directed, can, if.it will, put
an end to the greatest economic and
moral plague of the age by outlawing
the saloon.
There are signs of progress—a rad-
ical demand for the play of honesty
in business life, a new movement for
the abolition of gambling (uu all
places, a determined purpose to abol-
ish the saloon. These movements
are in harmony with the Divine econ-
omy and purpose. and that is the asd
surance of their triumph. God is in
His world and God is working. There
never was an age in which so many
people were working for the better-
ment of life. With an all-controlling
purpose, begotten of faith in God and
nurtured in love of man, multitudes
are working to better the conditions
of life, and that Christ, in whom God
is reconciling the world unto Himself,
is drawing men into the circle of His
infinite love, into the away of. His
beneficent purpose and keeping them
there until He shall come to reign in
all the world.
Getting Better of Commonplace.
Steady-going goodness is harder
than spectacular heroism. It calls for
more endurance and more character
to held to the highest standards of
life in the-commonplaces of every day
routine than to nerve oneself up for a
single and exceptional effort. The
five-mile run is more exhausting than
the 100-yard dash. Yet this pro-
longed and severer test of every day
living is the only true test, and it is
the one which we must all meet.
Moreover, the best way to be ready
for the emergency test, when it
comes, is to live through the common
day in the red-letter-day spirit. No
day was common to Christ, nor will
it be to those who make every day
His.—Sunday-School Times.

A Cheyenne brave who has killed
more white men than any other
member of his tribe.
in Montana is Spotted Hawk, a brave
who is said to have kiiled, during his
fighting days, more white men than
any other member of his tribe.
Spotted Hawk is a man of striking
appearance, especially when arrayed
in his war costume, as he appears in
the accompanying photograph. Well
formed and athletic, he is an excel-
lent marksman and a hunter of re-
nown. .His face is full of character
and his intelligence is marked. He
is looked up to with especial regard
by the young men of the tribe, to
whom his career appears romantic
and inspiring. But the bad old timas
of hostility between the two races
are now only a memory. Spotted
Hawk, as well as the remainder of
the tribe, is now at peace with the
United States, and therefore it is not
likely that he will during the coming
years of his life add to his list of pale-
faced victims. . Civilizing influences
have taken hold upon him, and he no
longer desires to wreak vengeance
upon thz dominating race.—Leslie's
Weekly.
Self Control Valuable.
He approaches nearest to the gods
who knows how to be silent even
though he knows he is in the right.—

Bees and Boys.
In many of the California apiaries
boys are being employed almost alto-
gether to take care of the bees. It is
only in swarming time that other
help is needed. After a little exper-
ience a boy can care for many hives,
and it is said that they are not stung
as often as the men.
It has been figured up that a farm-
er’s’ boy who is given five hives of
bees (0 begin with, and who will
work industriously, can make more
money in ten years than his father
can on a farm of 160 acres. Clover
honey brings a good price, and the
market is always short of it.—Phila-
delphia Telegraph.
Brush Holds the Blacking.
An entire shoe-blacking outfit con-
tained in a single article forms the
subject of a recent patent grant.
Heretofore it has been necessary to
supply oneself with several brushes,
one for cleaning the dust from the
surfaces of the shoe and a dauber for
applying the blacking or polish, a
third one for rubbing, and some-
times a fourth for giving the final
polish.
All of these functions are filled in
i article shown in the accompanying
cut. The daubing apparatus consists

which it is not necessary to touch it
with the danger of soiling the hands.
It is only essential to rub it on the

A simple reversal movement brings

cleansing the shoe when necessary.
