A French literary woman and sociologist studying the big cities of America lells us that our civilization will be the best the world has evr seen, because of the Influence of 4" American woman on our educau. Si-stem aid our club life. It i3 always pleasant to bear u things ab ut one's own, and the American man is more easily and surely flattered by praise of his wife and daughters than by any other method. Of course, we know that the American woman Is the finest of her sex, bin it is not every day that her European sister will admit it. The European man has always known her superiority, and the number of America wives in European homes Is proof of his good judgm'.t. On the other hand, it Is an encouraging sign of growing appreciation f the American man that a real, titled aristocrat from the old world has found the man of her heart in Baltimore. Who knows but one of these days we shall have princesses and duchesses and all that sort of thing In our best society, keeping up the drawing room whilt the plain American husband produces the shekels to do the keeping? A vast amount of American money has gone to Europe with American brides, and it Is no more than fair that a foreign title or two should come to this country to even up. EarLs and dukes bolster up their family fortunes with American wives and mflicy, so why shouldn't European ladies of title take husbands from o-fr great American nobility to maintain them in dignity suitable to their rank? Odd Occupations of Women. Airs. Mary . A. Iamont is a railroad switch woman on the Boston and Al hany, and receives all the railroad telegrams at her station besides doing the switching. ' . Mrs. Hughes is the "master of the hounds' at Neuaddfawr. Wales, and Is such an expert rider that she swims her horse across stream while others following the hounds think it more expedient to go around by the bridge. Miss Edith Soinerville. of West Carter-, in Ireland, is master of fox bounds. Mrs. Donald C. Monroe is the only woman In the United States who is a professional cartoonist, being known iu New York by her maiden name of Laura E. Foster. Dr. S. Josephine Baker, of the Health Department of New York City, and Dr. Annie Williams, of the Bacteriological Department, are both experts. Who Support the Wife! Rev. Anna Howard Shaw and Mrs. Charlotte Perkins Gilman had a debate the other day in New York, the question being. '"Do husbands support their wives?" Rev. Anna Shaw said that they do not. but that in this semi civilized country iu thirty-eight of the States ihe title to the children rests, not in the mother but in the father. Women cannot legally possess their own children ncr own their clothes. The n.ore work a woman does the less her husband gives her. Mrs. Gilmajf said that if a stenographer earning 20 a week married an Invalid and he stayed home and did the work while 6he made the money, people would say she supported him. and logically the wife .doing the same thing was sunported. The audience, however, voted in favor of the proposition of Dr. Shaw. Keep the Knives Clean, A table may be beautifully set and decorated, but nnless the knives are In good condition the general appearance will be spoiled. The blades of the knives should be cleaned with soft flannel. If they are a little rusty use wood ashes rubb?d on a newly cut piece of Irish potato. This will remove spots when nothing else will Never dip the ivory handles In hot water, as the heat turns them yellow. Keep the test set, which is only cscd for company, is a box, wrapped Erst In, tissue paper, then a covering of linen. This will keep out the dust and dampness. Fashionable fur stoics ars long and are extremely wide. Lace yokes and sleeves continue popnlar in spite of their long use. Huge ostrich plumes, dyed In riches: tents, were never more in favor. White furs are worn as toques, stoles and ir.i'dTs, not to mention trimming. 'I tie lace coat figures as a part of many of the dressy frocks of the reason. Cashmere de sole and dull henriet.i are the most approved mourning materials. A new shade of dark green, very popular with young girl:, Is called Atlantic. The walking stick, after a reriod of ictirenient, is now highly fashionable for men. An Immense automobile muff has constructed In it a special pocket for carrying a pet dog. Contrary to expectations, white waists have not gene out of fashion,

but nre boin:j worn almost as much as ever. With some of the soft colors in uso this winter the combinations of cloth anil gauze are passing beautiful. Charming for women with fresh faces and fair skins are the now aiuetli; st hats, which have just com into the mode. Button finishes down the outside of the long, tight sleeves are one of the newest reliefs from the usually unbecoming line. The spangled net sleeves are most hecoining to any woman whose anus are wyll shaped, and the sleeves are made without lining. Incidentally, some of the new mink and sable mull's look like a whole fur family, for the foundation is simply covered with beads and tails. Buttonholes are indeed a feature in themselves this year; in their anxiety to prove themselves genuine' theiy positively yawn in one's face. In many of the season's styles the effect of the back of the gown is mo,v effect of the back of the gown is more elaborate than tho front, the empire 'n? accentuating the fact.

On Woman's Home Garden. The West Philadelphia woman who was the envy of her neighbors last summer by virtue of her vegetable garden in her small back yard, which kept her table well PUppMcHl for a month, has again stepped Into the limelight. This clever woman has succeeded in raising several kinds of vegetables in llower pots and boxes of earth Inside her house. Already she has raised several stalks of asparagus from roots, and her family is enjoying the luxury of green asparagus, while their friends and neighItors are eating canned goods. BadLshcs, too, have grown indoors for this amateur trucker, and now, made ambitious by Iicr successes, this woman Ls going to plant some lima beans and peas. The care of her Indoor vegetable garden is not wearing, for the West Philadelphia woman, to gain time, -has simply cut down her usual list of potted plants and devoted her time to more practical growing things. Philadelphia Record. Red Hair and ConaomptJoa. A German physician declares that red-haired persons are more susceptible to consumption than dark-haired people. Some other types, like Scandinavians, who, as a rule, are blonde, when transplanted from the healthy agricultural sections of their native country to the congested districts of large cities, offer less resistance to consumption than do native born citizens. Many blendes, however, have remarkable powers of resistance against consumption, while many brunettes offer relatively little resisting power. This, he snj-s, is due to racial susceptibility and change in environment. Woman Conn t.'rclal Jndare. Don't forget her name. Mme. Clemence Jusseliue Is the first woman ever elected an any public office in France. She was put up as representative of her profession as a dressmaker, and she It is who will now decide in the trade disputes. Her title is commercial Judge. Strange to say," Mme. Jusseline has been elected entirely by men. Stop, though; i-erhaps It would have been stranger if she had been chosen by her own sex. Sh? regards her election as "an almost historic

event, for it Is something to be proud o to be the first woman In France ta hold such a position." Boston Herald,

Children nml Xentne. A waste pa jkt basket should forii; part f every nursery equipment. Chi'irrii should Ik? taught to lut into it nil scraps of paper, cuttings from dolls' dressmaking and any other little odds and ends that would otherwise litter the nursery lioor. It will teach them an excellent les son in tidiness and be good training. especially for the girls, for the day when each will have a home of bei own. While children are young it is com parsitively easy to teach them to be tidy, but tiie lesson Is hard to learn in later life. I. eis Sentimental Fiction. Anyone who follows the development of modern fiction will have noticed the general decline of love-interest, says the Book Monthly. Life has not only become less leisurely, but also more sc ientitle and more serious. Love scenes are not enly cut down, they have been transferred from the drawing room o the motor car or the aeroplane, and the new setting demands a certain seriousness. Practice Proved Theory. So many women have been willing to become school directors in Philadelphia, and those who have had an opportunity have done such good work, that the cause of woman suffrage h:ts gained more, Philadelphiaus say, than many years of preaching and teaching would have accomplished. F.tlnrntiiiK (he Men. In the United States, where women are probably freer than in any other part of the world, the divorce records show that they are the accusers in three-fourths of the suits filed. This means, of course, that women are deFUR SET. manding a higher standard of living and that they will recognize only one standard of morality for' both sexes. Men may rebel, but they will have to come to it finally if they hope to live happy ever after. A Wife'. Tribute. ."I miss Mr. Blaine. I cannot bear the orderly array of my life-. I miss the envelopes in the gravy, the lepattered table linen, the uncertainty of the meals, for you know fce always starts out ou his constitutional when ho hears them taking in dinn?r.

A good way to save yourself and handkerchiefs in freezing weather is to get a line long enough for th? amount you have to wash, pin handkerchiefs on line while in the laundry, carry line to yard and hang on hooks. When dry take line from hooks, carry to laundry and remove clothespins. The result will be found extremely pleasing. He Doesn't Knoir Her. The girl who pulls roses to. pieces as she talks Is the creation of men novelists who do not share the feminine love of flowers. I They might as well represent her as "Idly pinching the baby as she spoke." Marguerite and her daisy are true to life; most women would pull anything on earth to pieces to know If the right man loves them; but they need the motive. Woman Gvta Lloyd's Jlrdal. .

- sarcaaf. CHAPTER. IX. (Continued.) "But, Mamie, my darlin- !"' "Yes, and intend to remain so," laughed the girl morrilj-. "And the sooner tio fact is broken to Mr. Pearman that he is not 'my destiny's lord,' th better," "Stop, child listen to me." ami the nervous tremor in her mother's voice arrested Maude' madcap humor instantly. She knew every inflexion of that learly loved voice, nnd her quick ear detected coming trouble, much as the sailor foresees the storm in that peculiar sobbing sound the wind sometimes gives forth shortly before the tempest bursts. In a second site, dropped quietly on her knees by Mrs. I Prison's side, nnd leaning on the arm of her chair, said. "There's more to come, mother ; you haven't told me all yet." "No. my dearest; I had hoped so differently. I mean I told your father, in short ; and hero Mrs. Denison fairly broke down, and wept copiously. Maud-.' petted, soothed and coaxed, ns she had dons on many a previous occasion, and between th? showors of tervrs learned how much they were in the hands of the Pearmans; how that their remainin; at (llinn was an impossibility unless the Pearmans tame to their assistance; and how her hand was the price they placed on standing i:i the breach between Harold Denison and his creditors. About the foregoing of their own claims the poor lady wisely said nothing. Better Maude should think her future husband stood chivalrously forward in her father's supiort, with the prospect of her fair self as his guerdon, than she should know that her hand wag the sole bribe which induced hira to forbear seizing upon Glinn. The saucy smile had left the girl's lips by the time she comprehended the sad story. It was replaced by a pale, anxious look, such &s had never been seen before on Maude Denison's fnce. ou can't mean this, mother," she said, at length. "You surely don't wish that I should marry this man. whom I can't say I dislike, for I don't even know him enough to tell whether I do or no; but that I am to take this man for a husband without hiiy reference to my own feelings you don't intend that, do you V" T don't know what will become of us if you don't, Maude," gasped Mrs. Denison. "And is it not possible that we could live without Glinn V" inquired her daughter. "What would your father do?" moaned the mother once more, truer to him even still than to the child she adored so. "It i.-s hard!" said Maude, and her young face grew stern in expression as she spoke. "Do you think it quite fcir that 1 am to throw my life's happiness away at eighteen to save Glinn? Mother, I know nothing of the world, but a man surely brings a bad introduction to a girl's heart who seeks her as Mr. Pearman would apparently seek me. I don't think I'm a romantic fool, but I never thought to leave your side in this wise. Of course I know girLi do marry for money ; but but I had had hoped I should be different," and here Maude was seized with an hysterical choking in the throat, which though it only drew a low tears from her own eyes, brought forth another shower from Mrs. IVnison's. I really am shocked, for the sake of my readers, at the amount of tears introduced into this part of my story. "Umbrellas up!" would have made an appropriate beading to this chapter; but what am I to do? You see. Mrs. Denison is one of those women who naturally dissolve into may I say, mist? on the most trifling occasions, and come down in torrents when things go hard with them. "Xo use crying about it. mother," said Maude, gulping down her agitation bravely. "I am going up to my own room to think it all over; but come what may,. I feel at present you will have to let Mr. Pearman kaow that I'm grateful for the honor he has done me, but respectfully decline anything further." When Maude reached her own room, nhe sat down nnd began to muse over all her mother had to!J her. Had it come to this really, that it rested with her to save her parents? What was shexto do? I have said before that she was not like the young ladies of this world. She was rather behind the age in many of her ideas. She was very young, and had, moreover, a tinge of that dear old-fashioned romance about her which is at such a terrible discount ia these utilitarian days. "What can there be to think about?" cries Bolgravia. "Preserve me from such an imbecile daughter!" shrieks Tyburnia. But Maude, after thinking for half an hour, with set face and knit brows, suddenly rose with a smile rippling over her pretty face, ard while the midday sun still glinted through her bonnie brown hair, sat down to write to Gren villa Hose. "lie always gets me out of scrapes," she murmured, softly; "he must oit of this, though" and here she even laughed "I'm afraid Gren will think this what he calls a 'big un. CIIAPTKR X. Grenville Itose dwelt in the Temple. There, in a couple of pleasant rooms, he read musty law books, the latest periodicals, and waited for business. Though there was very far from being any asceticism about Grenville Rose, yet he stuck soberly and honestly to his trade. If the work didn't come, he couldn't help it. He was always in the way, and an assiduous attender at th Westminster Courts. But if you are "Coke on Lyttleton," strongly impregnated with the departed adlatus of Krskine and Bllenborough, you cannot show it until you get an opening. The beginning of the legal profession is doomed to bo principally observation. Attorneys are far from being speculative on the subject of undeveloped talent. It is not given to everyone to have Sir Jonah Harrington's chance of a friendly judge, who insisted on his continuing the ease had begun, in consequence of his leadbeing tcmiorarily out of court. So that icther Grenville Itose was a coming lawjor, or a pretentions impostor, w.s still concealed in the womb of time. In the meanwhile, the nothing he had to do he, at all events, did conscientiously more, a good deal, than can be predicated of many of us. He strolls leisurely out of his bedroom, in dressing gown and slippers, the day after Maude's resolution, and giancing round his breakfast table, takes little notice of the heap of letters that lie thereon. His attention, on the contrary, is arrested by the absence of some condiment he peculiarly affects. Afr indulging in a solo on the bell, which .oduces no apparent result, he opens t vindow and runs up the vocal scale 'William," terminating, crescendo. Wil-li-am!" which seems to produce some slight commotion, at length, in a loy with a pewter, and a companion furnished with sho" brushes, who are lightening the hours by pitch and toss. Satisfied with this result, he first opens the morning paper. Grenville Hose is not in the least addicted to the pursuit or study of racing: still, like most men of Ms age nb-'it town, he very frequency hears it talked of. II knows the names of the pronrn".! favorites for the coming great three-ycar-ol ! vents of Ihe sea-n. IIa he not more than one friend who h -s asked him to book himself for a Grenv lch dinner '

the event of some Derby contingency coming oft satisfactorily 'i lie throws his eye lazily over th sjortinj intelligence, and under the head of "Betting on the Two Thousand." he perceives "Five to two against Coriander taken freely." "S'ise he'll about win. Suit Silky Dallison down to the ground, I presume; not that I know much about it. But as lie hath bidden me to the consumption of clicquot and bait, if Coriander wins at I'psom, it is fair to presume he'd like to see him well through 'his smal's, to begin with." Ah ! we go blundering on in our blindness and ignorance. Can even the most far-sighltvl of us ever predicate twentyfour hours ahead? What a mess Providence makes of our intricate calculations! What shallow fools we seem, after all our study! I wonder what Grenville Bose would have said, if anybody had hinted to him that within ten days his destiny would be bouad up with Coriander's? Can you not fancy his laughing retort: "I never race! What Hecuba to me, or I to Hecuba:'" Yet it will be so. Grenville fosses the paper on one side, and in a careless way takes up his letters. Two or -three nre thrown aside; but his pulse quickens, and his handsome features flush a liftle. ns he catches sight of that firm, delicate hand he knows so well. Mnrde's Utter had been near the bottom of the pile, or he had not glanced over the paper before reading it. That cousin of his had wound her way into his heart strangely of late. He hardly knew himself how it had all come to pass. He had bullied her as a boy ; he even, till quite lately, had snubbed her as a man. He had liked her, ay, loved her, in cousinly fashion, all his life. I low was he to have dreamt that the gawky school girl wbo accompanied him in his fishing expeditions at Glinn was to grow into the lovely girl Maude had of late blossomed into? He was no fool, nnd had as much command over his passions as fivc-and-twen-ty, that sets 'up for no superlative virtue and lives in the world, can usually lay claim to. That anything could be more injudicious than a love affair between himself, with mere undefined prospects, and the daughter of his ruined, spendthrift uncle, ho one could be more clearly aware. That if Maude Denison married, it must be somebody with means nnd position, he thoroughly understood. That he should at present marry anybody, he quite recognized as an impossibility. And yet. with all these theoretical axioms distinctly present to his mind, he was forced to admit to himself that he was over head and ears in love with his cousin. That he had never even hinted it to her was a fact upon which he gave himself most extraordinary credit. That she had as jet given him no earthly reason to suppose he was anything to her but Cousin Gren was a '.circumstance that he brooded over sulkily Jand despondingly. With these correct and high-principled views, it should have been made matter of great gratulation ; but you see it was not. I am afraid it will ever be so. The right people never do fall in love with each other; while, from the days Helen left Menelaus to the present time, the converse of the proposition seems inexhaustible and unchangeable. But all this whife Grenville Bose had been reading Maude's epistle. His face darkens as he does so, the brows contract, and a curse breaks at last from his lips in a low, guttural tone that bodes bad times for Homebody, supposing that Grenville possesses power equal to his inclination. 'That brute Pearman !" he muttered. My instinct didn't fail me. Hotter I'd have dislocated his cursed neck by throwing him down stairs that night than this. And the poor child appeals to me to help her! What can I do?" Once more he glances at the letteragain he reads the paragraph: "Gren, dear, you have been my resource in all my scrapes since I can remember, Do como to my rescue now; what am I to do? My childish troubles of bygone days wens not of much account, whatever they might look at the time. This seems extinguishing the sunshine of my life on the threshold as if I was doomed, as I heard you say not long ago. I have said I cannot. I dare not. Both, papa and mother say I am to decide for myself. But it isn't so you know, Gren, it isn't. There's papa, more sneering and gloomy than ever, suggesting that we had better make the most of Glinn during the remaining few weeks that it remains to us as I have decided to give away the property. Mother, of course, all tears; and papa bullies her worse than ever. Oh, tell me what to do. Gren, for I am very miserable. I can't stand it much longer I know I can't. I shall have to give in; I cannot bear to see mother always in tears. 1 almost wish I was dead, I lo indeed ; aud ye t I don't want to die." "Yes." he mutters, after reading it through for about the twentieth time; "it's easy to see the whole thing. My precious uncle intends you shall marry Pearman, so that h may finish his days in Glinn. My aunt, poor soul, is weeping a Dead Sea over the arrangement, and having her soul harried out besides. Maude Maude, my darling, how can I help you? Pretty chance of a pauper like myse'f being much use on the occasion." he mused, with a bitter sneer. "Mie never says, ;.oor child, by the way. what sum. if any, would stop the gap though, of course, there must be a price. However, that is n Question there is no use in raising. Of courfe it's thousands; and to raise a few hundreds would require all my ingenuity, to say nothing of terminating in my eventual destruction ; not but what it's little I'd think of that just now, to save Maude. My love, I am powerless!" And Grenville Kose leaned his head upon his ha ids and tasted the bitterest sorrow this world can afford that of an appeal for succor from the womnu whom he loved, nnd the knowledge that he was powerless to help her even a hair's breadth in her bitter anguish. Better to stand by her deathbed than this! Our nineteenth century training ma! us bear such trials well. But do not believe, my brethren, that when the ma siis dropped, feelings are not much the same as of yore. Bitter tears are shed over worthless women, and deep lamentations made over rotten investments in the privacy of the bed chai.dcr. The matutinal razor sweeps the chin at times with a strange fascination for one strong frea stroke at the jugular vein; a morbid feeling to end all this weary struggle, and cut the knot of existence. A well-known writer, the other day. laid down: "It was better to be bored than to be miserable." I can't say I agree with him. I would. her be miserable. "or more than an hour does Grenv e his apartment, musing over Maud, tier. But no ! lie can neither see help tc he rendered, nor even anything to justify the slightest interference on his part. Then he thought savagely of the old dueling days ; how easy it would have been to have picked a quarrel in those good old times, and run his chance of disqualifying Pen r man through the medium of a pistol bullet. But we have changed all that; ind when we quarrel nowadays, we emdoy coinsel instead of firearms. I suppose it is all for the best, though I take t there was more politeness in general society when the being rude had to be - speedily justified. (To be continued.)

So far no tangible clew to the identity or whereabouts of the robbers has been found, but it seems probable that the men went to Denver and are now hiding In that city. Eighteen packages of registered mail were secured. ' The robbery was remarkable for its originality and daring. It took place within eight miles of Denver, within ess than two miles of Fort Logan, the United States military reservation, and at the siKt where habitations are plentiful. Yet so thorough was the work Df the robbers and so well were their plans laid that they had fully an hour ind a half start of the officers. Search of the vicinity of the hold-up indicates thaf a third man, and possibly a fourth, were engaged In the robbery: that a rubier tired buggy was in waiting for the actual hold-up, and that toriodocs and red signal fires were nsed unsuccessfully In an attempt to stop the train before the automatic revolvers of the two men on the engine tender succeeded In doing this. From the manner In which the holdup was accomplished it is thought possible that the robbers are the ones responsible for the hold-up of the Denver and Bio Grande train last May, wten Express Messenger Wright was hilled.
