Jealousy a Counterfeit.
Jealousy is a terrible thing. It re
sembles love only It Is precisely love's
contrary. Instead of wishing for the
welfare of the object loved, It desires
the dependence of that object upon
itself and its own triumph. Love is
the forgetfulness of self; jealousy Is
the most passionate form of egotism.

Clothes for Mother.
It costs a bit of money to dress well
In these days, and hoarding finery for
daughters and cousins and nieces Is a
sacrifice that does not even receive
thanks. Wear your things till they get
beyond use, and have as many more
as you can afford. Let young people
look after themselves, using their sup
erior strength In getting what .they need
or want. A woman who begins to sac
rifice on her personal appearance for
sons and daughters drops In their es
timation just as sure as the sun rises.

Wages of Women.
The government Inspectors report
that year before last 583,310 grown wo
men were earning wages in the indus
tries of Prussia 120,353 of them In the
textile industries, 77.413 in making lin

ical cleaning, 35,698 in cigar-making,
26,448 in metal-working, 24,418 in the
manufacture of machine tools, Instru

dustries mentioned," says the report,
"the greatest increase In the employ
ment of female labor Is found in min

Most of theso wage-earning women
work ten hours a day, but In some of
the textile mills, in the sugar and

,' Honor for Miss Mary Cassatt.
Mr. Joseph Durand-Ruel has an
nounced that he had been requested to
procure a collection of paintings by
Miss Mary Cassatt, of Philadelphia, a
Bister of the late A.-J. Cassatt, for the
next Salon d'Automne. Coupled with
the request was the Information that'
this Salon would devote an entire room
to the work of three well known wo
"men painters of the nineteenth century,
the late Eva Gonzales and Borthe Mor
lsot and Miss Cassatt Miss Cassatt,
of course, is actively at work and is
not to be classed exactly as "of the
nineteenth century." This, however,
does not in any degree detract from
the honor accorded her, In fact, rather
adds to it.
"It Is interesting to note," said Mr.
Durand-Ruel in speaking of the matter,
"that as Kva Gonzales and Berths Mor
isot are dead, the Salon d'Automne'a
request Implies that It considers Miss
Cassatt, who is an American, the great
est woman artist of the present day.
The Corcoran Gallery of Art in Wash
ington, D. C, has, by the way, Just pur
chased for Its permanent collection

,,Why the Gowns Wouldn't Do.
'Not' long ago a woman whose hus-
ylnd had suffered severe financial
losses decided to sell a number
of very costly new gowns. An
acquaintance whoso manifold In
terests bring her Into contact
with all sorts and conditions of
woman was asked If she could not sug
gest a possible customer. The acquain
tance mentioned the names of several
women who could afford to buy the
wardrobe intact,
"All those names sound English,''
said the owner of the gowns. "Are the
ladles English?" ....
i iney are, saia in- acquaintance,
to you?"
"None whatever to me personally,"
'said the woman. "I have no p ejudlce
against English women, but I am well
enough acquainted with their figures
to know that these gowns would never
fit them. They are made to fit the
French type. It Is next to Impossible
to find an English woman who can
wear a French woman's clothes with
out excessive alterations, so the best
Ong 'or you to do is to look around
"flntil you find a French or American
customer." New York Press.
j Suffragists Not Unanimous.
VThat there is unanimity of feeling In
England among suffragists, no one can
contend, notes the New York Evening
Post. The party, if such it may he
called, when it has no political stand
ing, has split Into two camps. The
conservative view Is thus forcibly ex
pressed by one of the ablest workers
in the Women's National Liberal As
sociation in a private letter:
"The enfranchisement of women has
haa strong setback awing to the vio
lent policy of '-reaklci? up public meet
ings and frustrating free speech. Many
M. P.'s have been alienated and the
rough men in the street, the rank and
die voter, deeply disapproves such tac
tics. If a referendum were taken on
;1)9 subject today there would be a
heavy majority against It. I think the
setback is temporary and the tide will
In the end be turned by the wiser,
more persuasive policy which has done
so much to educate the public mind
during the last twenty years. Some
ardent, Impatient minds deny this pro
gress, but there are fifty strong facts
to prove it. All this time thousands
of women have been equipping them
selves for public service and proving
their fitness in many ways and many
avenues of work, and this we must con
tinue to do faithfully. It is the only
way."
Divinity of Discontent.
It was the late afternoon hour,
when a group of kindred natured folk,
chancing to be together, are wont to
fall Into reflection, especially when
they have been hearing a seasonable
lecture on social philosophies.
"I liked what the man said about
self-valuation," began one woman,
quoting from memory, 'Never mark
down the value you. have set upon
yourself.' In these days of mark
downs and bargains we need such
thrusts," she added, a little bitterly for
so young a woman.
"Putting the highest value upon our
selves doesn't necessarily mean that
we consider ourselves worth the price,"
remarked the oldest woman of the
group. "It means, I suppose, that we
Intend, somehow, to make that price
represent our actual value to the
world. It Is a form of self-love, per
haps, but It Is a pardonable form."
A third woman who was not prone
to express herself freely said, quite
unexpectedly: "One who is not a lov
er of herself, or himself, according to
the highest value, Is incapable and
nothing worth for any real service to
others I am sure."
There was a moment's pause. Even
well acquainted women, and In the
dusk of the afternoon, do not open
their hearts easily. But presently the
first speaker said, In a softer tone:
"There is, no doubt, a discontent which
Is only sour and bitter and destructive,
the less we have of that kind the bet
ter. But there Is a dlscontont which
has rightly been called divine, and
that, I believe, is the very salt of
life, without It life has no savor."
The rapture of pursuing,
Is tho prize the vanquished gain,
quoted itlio third woman, who sat
furthest back In the dusk.
"I grant the divinity of discontent,"
said tho older woman, briskly, because
something In the quotation touched
her. "Contented, unambitious people
are all very well In their way. They
foVm a useful, neat background. But
what a difference there Is between dis
content nnd the disposition to worry!
Besides driving other-kind people al
most to desperation, worry Is responsi
ble for more gray hairs and wrinkles
than age; worry has drawn more lines
on women's faces than years have ever
thought of doing. If you study the
matter, you can read in faces the dif
ferent lines which worry draws from
those which discontent, divine discon
tent traces. Shall I tell you what I
think about the disposition to worry?
It reminds me of what It would be
if a company of congenial souls should
sit down to a banquet and fall to
weeping because at this time next year
they may have to go to bed hungry.
Just then (the maid appeared with
the tea tray. "The came thing Is true
of tea as of banquets" continued the
last speaker. "I am prepared to enjoy
this and be thankful." New York
Tribune.

CHARITY'S RECORD IN 1907.
About $120,000,000 Given to Various
Good Causes.
Nearly $120,000,000 was given to
charitable, educational, and other caus
es during 1007, In the United States
alone, according to figures prepared
for the Chicago Record-Herald by
Warwick J. Price. Of this huge total,
miscellaneous charities received $15,
180,300, while hospitals, homes and
asylums were the recipients of further
bounty aggregating $7,882,500.
About one-fifth of all sums given
were contributed by women, Mrs.
Russell Sage leading, with $13,830,000
dispensed In distributing some of the
vast estate left her by her husband.
Miss Anne T. Jeanes ot Philadelphia
also figures prominently with a be
quest ot more than $2,000,000.
Besides four of these women who
are In what may be called the "mil
lion clais," there are eleven men, John
D. Rockefeller leads with gifts ot $42,
315,000, chiefly for educational work.
H. O. Frlck comes next with $10,205,
000; P. A. B. WIdener, a like sum, nnd
Andrew Carnegie with $8,957,000.
The largest gift coming under the
head of miscellaneous charities was
from Mrs. Sage, with $10,000,000 for
general philanthropies. In the al
lied branch of hospitals, homes and
asylums, Mr. Rockefeller stands first
with his $2,000,000 contribution for the
Institute for Medical Research. Thom
as R. Palton gave $1,600,000 for a Ma
sonic orphanage. The late Anne T.
Jeanes gave $295,000 to various Phila
delphia hospitals. Outside of the Car
negie gifts, the largest contribution
for libraries was $325,00 John D.
Rockefeller made the largest gift in

Penny Post.
Nothing It not persistent In the
cause he has made his own, that ot
a world-wide penny post, Mr. Hennl
ker Heaton, M. P., has now address
ed to the Postmaster-General a long
letter In which he sets forth Ten Suf
ficient Reasons tor an Anglo-American
Penny Postal Union. In the
course of his appeal the honorable
member calls attention to the fact
that an American can send a letter
5,000 miles by land (say from Mexico
to AlaBka) for 2 cents (Id.), but must
pay 5 cents (21-2d.) for a letter of
half the weight sent 3,100 miles
across the ocean to England. An En
llshman pays 2 l-2d. on a letter cross
ing the Atlantic, 3,100 miles, and Id.
only on crossing the Indian and South
Pacific Oceans, 15,000 miles, to New

How Times Have Changed.
"The times are changing," said Bai

used to say that you could always
look around and see a white horse
whenever you spied, a red headed wo
man. Generally, too. it was true. It's
different now.
"I was walking the Circle yester
day and saw a girl so red headed that
I'd be willing to take out fire Insur
ance on her. I looked about for the
proverbial white horse, and discover
ed nothing but six automobiles. Ver
ily, the tlihes are changing." Indian

A simple test for gasoline Is to pnur
some of It on a piece of blotting paper.
The more grease remaining after the

As a result ot a series of Investiga
tions on carbon at high pressures and
temperatures, C. A. Parsons asserts
that In none of his experiments de
signed to melt or vaporize carbon has
more than a mere trace of black or

residue. His experiments, however, are
not yet completed.
Dottor Sven Hcdln, the Swedish ex
plorer, states that he has discovered
the true sources of the Brahmaputra
and Indus. The Brahmaputra, he says,
Is the Kuhltsampso, which rises from
an enormous glacier on the northern
side of the northern-most .parallel
range of the Himalayas. The Marlum
chu, which has hitherto been regarded
as the source, Is merely a small tribu
tary flowing In from the west.
A new metal which has attracted
considerable attention In Germany,
and which gives promise of becoming
of no little importance to many
branches of Industry, has received the
name "alzen," the name being a com
pounding of the first letters of alumin

It is claimed that It equals cast Iron
In strength, but that it Is much more
elastic, and that It has a great super
iority over Iron In that it does not rust
easily and takes a very high polish.
For years, says the Iron and Coal
Traders' Review, the steel Industry has
confidently expected to see a fulfill
ment of the prediction made long ago
that "the open hearth process will go
to the funeral of the Bessemer." Re
cent developments indicate rather
clearly that the function will be a
wedding Instead of a funeral, a vastly
more happy occurrence. The duplex
process is rapidly gaining In favor, and
the details are being worked out In
different ways by different metallur
gists. It Is more a matter of appliances
and manipulation than processes, as
the metallurgical work Is laid out very
clearly.
THE PROBLEM OF SLEEP.
Mr. Grayboy Disturbed Somewhat by
the Variations In His Hours of Rest.
"In these later years," said Mr.
Grayboy, "I have found that I required
less sleep. When I was younger I
used to sleep eight hours, and fre
quently when I was very tired I could
use nine; but there came a time a few
years ago when I discovered that sev
en hours sleep was ordinarily all that
I required.
"Now, I mentioned this fact, casual
ly, one day, to a friend of mine, and
he said that this was one of the bene
fits that came to men as they increased
In years; that requiring less sleep
they had more time for labor and so
could accomplish more, and that this
was one reason why men of maturer
years were counted as of greater value.
"A pleasant fancy, that, I thought.
"Another friend of mine said more
plainly that my requiring less sleep
was a sign of my advancing ago; that
very young people, young children,
required a great deal of sleep; that as
people grew older they required less,
until In middle life they need, say,
eight hours of sleep; but that as men
came to be past middle age they re
quired less sleep, and my needing less
simply showed that I was getting old.
"Not quite so pleasant that, but
here Is a new complication:
"I find within the last few months
that I am again requiring more sleep.
Whereas for some years seven hours
I found sufficient I now sleep eight
hours. And what does that mean?
Does it mean that I have stopped
growing old, that I am growing young
again? or that I am advancing now to
my second childhood?
"H m. This sleep business I guess
I hadn't better dwell on too much."

Lucky Find In a Bee Tree.
A Windsor man found a swarm of
bees in a locust tree In his yard. He
sawed off a limb and fastened a hive
there, but the bees declined it and
continued filling the hollow tree with
honey. Wishing to secure the crop
the owner cut down the tree eighteen
Inches from the ground. '
The stump was full of honey. Then
he sawed the tree three feet higher
and got a barrel of honey. He sawed
again four feet higher and the honey

Statements from Followers of Cooper Ob;

Mr. C. D. Mitchell, of 2412 Avenue

with regard to his belief in Cooper's
medicine: "I have been troubled with
Indigestion and stomach trouble for
the past year. I had heartburn, bloat
ing after eating, gas on stomach and
bowels, palpitation of the heart, pain
In the lower part of my back, and
various other symptoms, and was a
victim of much distress. I tried many
remedies, but received little or no
honeflt from them. I was advised to
try the Cooper preparations, and did
so. In one week's time I wan im

had been able to obtain. Mr. Cooper's
medicine does all he claims for it"
Mr. J. O. Spradllng, ot 705 South
Tejon Street, Colorado Springs, Colo.,
says: "I was troubled with Indigestion
for two years. It caused me a great
deal of suffering and misery. I did

thing I did eat soured on my stomach.
I tried various remedies, but found no
relief. Three months ago I started
