American girl? desirous of marrying titles should be able to distinguish and know how to pick out the real good3. American girl3 know less about titles than geese about arithmetic, says Hrolf Wisby In the Smart Set. It makes no difTerer.ee that French titles r.re of no account since the republic; the expert heiress will insist on marryir.sr one in preference to any other. Believe me. these geese had rather be fctyled madame la marquise or madame a princess any day, no matter how lotten the family antecedents, than try io ann- what in Europe is understood by a great and noble rank, and metamorphose ;nto a frau taroninn or even n '.rau graSnn. This stupid misconception i3 founded on a rather innocent enough misconception. The American girl is ambitious to marry as near the throne as l:ossible. The family dictionary en-( courages fcer fairy-story Illusion that dukes and princes are somehow in the train of royalty, whereas barons and counts are out of It. That settles It; she will go gunning for the princely label, no matter how mean and ill-descended, for it is the out3?de of the apple, and not the core, that counts here. She ignores baronial titles, unaware that many of them are of more than present princely rank that 13, ancient princely rank and more closely afHIiated with the crown, in many Instances, than many high sounding dural titles. If you tell her that imperial genealogists consider a baronial title, like that of Freiherr Ton Riedesel, one of the highest in the empire, she will take it a3 a Joke. She is constantly confounding the two decisive elements that determine the value of a title namely, the nominal rank and the heraldic status. She cannot conceive of the title prince or duke as being of low lineal status, nor can she be made to cee in the rank freiherr or graf the highest status of nobility extant.

PEHIL IN FLIRTATION. By Rev. Frederick E. Hopkins.

Flirtation is the cause of our social evil. It undermines the home. It makes marriage look like a failure. The rapidly increasing number of women who drink and smoke in fashionable restaurants shows where stations on the route are located and the men 1 the hlg, swift touring cars accomplish the rest of the trip with merciless brevity, but leave behind the fumes cf a scandal that will till

tne luiiu. in respect oi mis evil, as or. an ouiers, need to reniern'ber that first steps are the dangerous steps, first compromises the dangerous compromises. When men and women are loitering about through life wondering what they will do next, a serpent not far away is apt to lift its head and sight the bird. From the Garden of Eden to the present hour snake3 Lave loved Eve in a snake's way. Sanson has lied and joked with Delilah, Sappho has loved the youns student, as the devil loves the world. It is a love with uie most beautiful face you ever saw. It3 love with the most attractive personality you have ever known. It is a love with what is called temperament, you know makes a lie sound better than the truth. It can make the red-headed, black-faced Cleopatra look so fascinating that the great Marc Antony is content to b? dragged behind her barge like a dead fi;h. The love of the flirt Is a love that makes men and women forget their honor, their vows, their ambitions, teir talenta, their fathers and mothers, husbands and wives, and all the great hopes of time and eternity.

It is easy to perceive fiom past history how individualism ar.d competition peopled the earth. The pressure cf growing slavery k.-pt actuating men to push farther westward, to where there üs greater freedom. America was discovered because the merchants of Venice formed a monopoly or tho East India trade and levied tribute that was outrageous. A western route was sought in order to evade

it, ana instead a new continent was was of far greater importance to the

classes of Europe than the accomplishment of the original purpose would have teen and it Is of great relief even yet. The world is now becoming rapidly populated, with no more new continents to discover, and the result must be that collectivism and cc-operation will take the place of Individualism and competition otherwise slavery will become universal. Members of the capitalist class, having pursued each other ell over the globe trying to find a market for, their surplus products and Unding themselves up against it, arc now gradually consolidating industrially into a trust and politically into one big fighting machine. Money knows m country and one country is as good to exact protits in as another. Labor sees what Is coming and is ako beginning to organize interna' ionally.

The frontier is last disappearing, and the hardy pioneer who packed his pelt3 or harvested his scanty crops under the eye of hostile1 Indians i3 merely an heroic figure In history, writes F. C. Scoville. But the industrial frontier and the pioneer workman will never become things of the past. The venturesome spirits who 100 years ago would have pushed westward Into unknown lands have turned their hands to work, which. If not more picturesque, is fully as dangerous. That great time saving record breaking game wherein the necessities and MAKING A COLT1.1XU luxuries of life are whirled from one end of the continent to the other at a constantly increasing pace has engaged many cf the present day industrial pioneers.

No mpn who has recovered the Integrity of his soul is any longer th object of pity, and it is to enable him to recover that lost integrity that the Christian church is organized. To my thinking, the Christian church stands at the center not only of philanthropy, but at the center of education, at the center of science, at the center of philosophy, at the center of politics in short, at the center of sentiment and thinking life. And the business of the Christian church, of the Christian minister, is to show the spiritual relations of men to the greater world processes whether they be phy.-P-al or spiritual. It 13 nothing less than to show the plan of life and men's relations to the plan of life.

RICHES AND POVERTY. By Winifred Black.

A little girl lay down on her sister's grave and died the other day. And when the mother went to the drug store to telephone to ask for help she fainted, and the drug store people discovered that the mother had not eaten anything for nearly two days because there was no money to buy food. In the same paper that told this little story I read that aigrettes were .in fashion again

they were so expensive that the very

presence of an aigrette meant that the owner must have money, or at least had It when she bought the hat, and that black pearls were again in vogue; and that it was bad form to let the r.ay horse go out with anything but an ermine carriage blanket. I wonder if the little girl who lay down and died rather than to struggle through a world like the one she lived in wasn't, after all, wise after her kind and condition? I suppose that poor mother walked the streets right beside some discontented rich woman a dozen times, and unless she walked unusual paths she certainly went p t a dozen young girls who are making their own mothers miserable because they can't have just exactly the latest thing In jewelry or the newest thing in automobiles, '"like the other girls." If I had one of those "like the-other-girls" daughters I'd make her spend at least half of her time getting acquainted with some of these "other girls," like the one who by dewn a.nl died of hunger and heartache and sorrowful discouragement the other day. I believe It would do her ood. Chicago Examiner.

BUSINESS. By President Woodron- Wilson.

The business of the church is not to pity men. The business of the church is not to rescue them from their suffering by the mere means of material relief or even by the means of spiritual reassurance. The church cannct afford to pity men because It knows that men. If they would take it, have the richest and complctest Inheritance that it is possible to conceive and that, rather than being deserv

are to be challenged to assert in them may be taken into the scheme will ta authorized to collect old-af,e contributions from their members. They will receive from the State a contribution of CO cents a head for sickness and insurance, plus an additional sum to cover expenses. The working classes In France arc estimated to number 11.0Ö0.0Ö0. The government has agreed with the opposition so far as to restrict the principle of compulsory contribution" to town and rural wage earners, otherwise workmen in the ordinary sense of this term, and to make contribution optional to the largo class of small farmers, petty land owners and part-profit cultivators (metayers), all of whom are laborers in reality. If they do not contribute they cannot benefit by :te pensions scheme. These rural classes are computed at 6,000.000 in number. Forty years hence, when the scheme Is In full operation, the pensioners will have $S3 a year. They will start the year after the bill is passed with $20.40 a year, the pension to rise gradually during the interval, a correspondent of the New York Sun says. 'the chief newspapers on the government side, predict that early In April the bill will become law, and will be regarded as the greatest achievement of the third republic, but a great many prominent poliltcians are not so optimistic. Many Senators have voted for the .second reading of the bill for no other reason than getting a better opportunity of making a more systematic and concentrated attack on the compulsory clauses.

lime. Curie Shares with Most Saants Faculty of Abstraction. In a quiet little house in Paris, icrcened from the outer world by a aigh wall, lives Mme. Cuvie, co-discov-rer with her late husband of radium. Jther women who might be inclined ;o envy this most wonderful of femnine scientists are disarmed by her fxtreme modesty. When an admirer )elabor3 her with compliments upon aer achievements she smiles almost in istonlshment and shrugs her shouliers as if she had done little to make i fuss about. When, upon the death of her husoand, she was appointed to a chair at the Sorbonne, the great seat of learning In Paris, it was decided by several omen to present her with a testiaionlal. The occasion demanded it (so it was thought), for was not Mnu1. Curie the first woman who had ever achieved such an honor? The scientist's reply, however, spoiled everything. She said quietly: 'It would be contrary to my husband's ideas and certainly to my owe." So her feminine ad.mirer3 departed vithcut leaving their testimonial behind them. Yet, despite her modesty, it is kcown that she was more than a mere assistant to. her husband. It is, indeed, claimed that she herself was the origl,c, MADAME CURIE AND nator of the radium discoveries. The best testimonial to her abilities came from Prof. Curie hknself when he was offered the decoration of the Cross of the Legion of Honor and refused it because the same decoration was not offered to his wife. She shares with most savants that faculty ot abstraction that is so valuable to those engaged in scientific work. When she Is employed upon a difUcult piece of research she hears nothing, sees nothing and is unmoved by anything that is not directly concerned with her Investigations. It Is said that once when in the middle of an" absorbing experiment a servant ran into the laboratory, screaming loudly: "Madame, madame, I have swallowed a pin!" "There, there, don't cry," said Mcne. Curie, soothingly, "there is another that you may have." Mine. Curie has a sister who 13 a notable doctor of medicine in Austria, end as an instance of heredity it may be said that the famous scientist believes that her little daughter shows i mi f uomise or even more ormiani seieniflc powers than herself.

".My best customers." said the salesman for the hair-tonic house, according to the Xew York Tinier, "are the proprietors of barber shops, where all Italian barbers are employed. There's a reason for this and a very simple one.- Did you ever see a baldheaded barber In an Italian shop? Think it over. Rack your memory. I've been in the hair-tonic business for a good many years and. take my word for it, there is no such thing as a bald-headed dago barber. Xo. I can't explain it. It is simply an incontrovertible fact. That's why I say my best customers are the proprietors of these shops. Would you buy a bottle cf hair tonic from a barber with a bald pate? Would you place any confidence in the recommendation of a barler whose thatch had a mangy, moth-eaten appearance? Not if you re In your sober senses. American barbers and barbers of other nit'onalities, particularly the Germans, have a disgusting habit of losing their hair. I use the adjective advisedly from my point of view, for it interferes with my business. And It's a curio is thing Jhat when a barber loses hä hair he doesn't lose his job. Nor is his ?nary reduced. Inasmuch as a conoid l iable portion of the revenue of a thop consists of the selling of various toilet preparations, you would naturally think that, in the interest of expert salesmanship, when a barber lost his hair he would also lose his job. But the boss barber is a person to be reckoned with, quite aside from the purely commercial phase of the situation. He Is loyal to his men and loyal to an extent that would seem suicidal to the head of a big Industrial corporation. Hut that's his attitude, and in a way it Ls an admirable one. Still, that has UGthing to do with the fact that there are no bald-headed Italian barbers. Keep your eyes peeled for one, and when you find him show me. FINDING A COUNTRY HOME.

It is easy to prove that an income of $1,000 in the country is worth $2,000 in the city, and that the difference is saved in the cost of living and in the fact that the home helps to support itself.

bound to be wasted in experiments, In bungling .methods, and in learning how to do things right. The utmost vigilance is required to avoid spending what is saved on the one hand by going ahead too fast with improvements on the other. A dozen temptations to put more money into the place lie in ambush at every turn. Economy is fully as difficult as in th3 city. Isolation, lack of congenial society, and maddening inability to find efficient servants in fact, any kind at all are insistent factors of the problem. The initial outlay Is likely to be no more than half the ultimate cost. Tools and equipenent pile up bills to dismay the novice. Labor is lazy and untrustworthy. If there are children, and there ought to be children in every country home, their education must be considered. It still remains true, however, that to find and own and improve one's own farm, however small and humble, is an achievement worth fighting for, whether it be for an all-the-year-home or not. And few there be who have won this fight that would v illingly return to the fiat in the city or the hired houoe in the suburbs with its fifty-foot frontage of lawn. The ownership of land, and plenty of it, creates a spirit of independence. It was the "embattled farmers" who drove back the redcoats from the redoubt on Bunker Hill. To-day the foreign Immigrant Is

"All right," said the counsel; "see my clerk" "Yes, sir," continued the thief, "but I thought I'd like to make sure you'd attend yourself, sir. We're anxious cos it's little Ben, our youngest kid." "Oh, that will be all right! Give Simmons the fee." "Well, sir," continued the man, shifting about uncomfortably, "I was going to arst you, sir, to take a little less. You see, sir" wheedingly "It's little Ben his first misfortin" "Xo. no!" said the counsel impatiently. "Clear out!" "But, sir, you've had all our business.
