SUBSCRIPTION RATES.
One Year. In advance. II.(X
A girl in her teens with toe
many and too costly clothes on
her back, gets self conscious and
vain, and loves admiration. A
simple, pure-hearted girl, who has
a place in a home, home work aud
home duties, has her heart there
and no boy can steal it. Even
when maturity comes and a real
man comes and a real affair of hex
heart comes, will such a girl leave
home and then only after heart
rending. But a girl who is at
home only at the table and in the
bed won’t love that home. Work
makes things sacred. The child
whose home memories are not
haloed by work, who is not needed
and does not feel the need, will
not love home. And if she does J
not love the home of her girlhood j
she will love no other. She will
go anywhere for anything. Home
will mean nothing to such a
! woman, and if she is respectablej
she will only lack the opportunity j
to be a bad woman and is good
only through circumstances or by
the necessity of an ugly face. She
will curse any man she marries.

WORLD PROGRESS IS UPWARD
Tendency to Sigh for the “Qood Old
Times” Deplored by Up-to-Date
Writer.
Sometimes we sigh for the so
called good old standards of honesty
and integrity and morals, but there
was never a time in the history of ]
the world when fewer notable vie- i
tories were achieved by unscrupulous .
means. There wa6 never a time when
the world scrutinized more closely
the means by which success is won
than right now. The farther we go
backward on the “Road to Yester
day,” the nearer we come to times
when the world was worse in every
respect than it will be to-morrow.
The great lesson of the fine play
which hundreds of thousands of peo
’ pie have enjoyed is that the people
' and the times and the manners back
» there in that cruel and bloody yes
i terday were infinitely worse than
i the people and the times and the
■ manners of the twentieth century.
There is still a sad surplus of crime
and misery and cruelty in the world
, to-day, but it is atavistic and belongs
I to the yesterday from which it has ’

RED TAPE IN TURKEY.
Conflagrations are hard to fight in
Constantinople because of the excess
of red tape. As recently as ten years
ago much time was wasted in getting
1 the fire brigade to work because leave :
■ from Yildiz Kiosk had to be ob
tained before the signal could be
fired. Further time was frequently
wasted on the spot because the Turk
. ish firemen had a way, before begin
ning operations, of making a leisure
ly oriental bargain with the people ■
whose property was to be saved. In
one case, when a village caught fire
in the winter, the entire place was
destroyed and many lives lost
through cold and privation owing to
this chaffering.
FINNISH FOLK LORE.
Paul Waineman’s “A Summer
Tour in Finland” contains this
pretty bit of folk lore: “Midsum
mer is the great annual festival of
Finland. From every height a bon
fire leaps to the sky in honor of the
mating of night and day, who are
then united. The Finns possess a
poetical legend relating to this an
nual custom. Koit and Amarik, the
sunset and sunrise, beseeched the
lord of the sky to give them permis
sion to be eternally a bride and
bridegroom and once a year to clasp
each other in their glowing arms.”
CAME DOWN A RUSSIAN.
“Oh, mamma!” exclaimed the
pretty girl, all aglow with excite
ment, “that handsome young man
is coming to call on me again.”
“You should be careful and find
out his station in life,” cautioned
the prudent mother. “Has he any
descent ?”
“Oh, yes, mamma—very rapid.
He just fell out of an airship.”

CIVIC SHAME.
“I observe,” said Holmes of New
York, “that you have recently taken
up your residence in Brooklyn.”
“Who told you that?” asked the
other, visibly startled.
“Nobody, but I notice that you
blush whenever anyone asks you
where you’re living.”—Philadel
phia Press.
THE RETURN.
Magistrate—If I remember right
ly this is not your first appearanoe
in court.
Prisoner—No, your honor; but I
hope you don’t judge by appear
ances.—Harper’s Weekly.

The number of crimes is on the

back to homes in which parents
were too ambitious for their chil

prominence and too neglectful of
