Womanhood Strength of Character. ^Mother* anil I»uuchter» A* to Kutcraiiiinc—KnalUh Girls and Matrimony.

The most ran .rfcable thing to my mind tKsus tho AIIKxiean woman is that it io impossible to be indifferent either to he about her, whether you consider her en JII&KWQ or individually. She has a potency, a personalty, that is in Itself a chal lenge not to ie ignored. This, in (act. Is the real fundamental difference between our transatlantic sisters and the women of our own land. Let us leave the Individual, who really counts for nothing on 'our own judgment of national characteristics, alone for a moment and see how the averages affect us. Take the English wo.man in the lump, not the new woman or /even the metropolitan woman exclusively, but just the ordinary British type, who is neither in the advance guard of modern civilization nor absolutely petrified in the old inertia. Look her well in the face and fee if you have any thought about her, any feeling sympathetic or antagonistic toward her, or any sense of her at all.

You will find, I think, that sho does not stir you in any way that so long as she remains outside the sphere of your personal interests she counts for absolutely nothing in your consciousness.

But go to America and try the same proocss on the feminine material there. At the outset you are confronted with an actual stlmuating force that either jattracts or repels you. The point is that she Interests you intensely. You must study ber and reckon with her whether you like her or not. As to your ultimate admiration or aversion for the American woman, that will depend primarily on your own temperament. If you take a score of prejudices and prepossessions across the Atlantic with you, her swift intuitions will not only discover but deride them, and you may return with hatred in your heart, vowing that she is neither fish, flesh, fowl nor good red herring, and, least of all, woman as you would have her bo.

But if you are wise enough to adjust your idcnls to the spirit of our time, and If you have learnod to look on woman as a human being rather than a function, the American girl will surely illuminate your whole conception of ber sex and lift it up to the plane that is permeated by her scintillant and Incisive individuality. And when you meet her again in Europe sho will como to you as a blast of the free upper air sweeping over the stagnant ways of old world life. Then you will wonder as a man who takes a deep draft of champagne after long abstinence how you over oame to relinquish the wine of life when it had once touched your lips. And if you continue in this mood tho chances are that you will marry that: American girl, whicli Is equivalent to champagne every day for dinner and perhaps a thought more trying to tho constitution in the long run.

When ail is told, however, America is a paradise for women, a great green throne for her, set in a western sea. And that nature is fitting her hand for the scepter and her brow for the crown no one who stands In a large assembly of Americans can doubt. Her physical superiority to the American man is obvious to the most casual observer. A generation or two ot stooping over the office desk has whettod his intelligence at the expense of his physique, while the woman has grown fair and tall in the atmosphere of ease till she resembles nothing so much as a race horse, oompact, of flery spirit, nervous strength and delicate contours. Her marvelous adaptability, too, enables her to grace as well as grasp her queendom, and till the end her husband is never quite sure whether he admires or adores her most, which uncertainty brings him ns lienr happiness as a man can hope to be.—K. D. in London Star.

Women's Work and Wage*.

The great controversy about women's work has, I am glad to see, brought out two definite facts—the ono that women can, will and must work the other that unskilled work is of no value in the labor market, and that where women do equally good work with men their wages should be the same. Not long ago I was shocked to hear tho editor of a leading paper say that ho employed a good many women on his staff, not from chivalry, not from a sense of justice, but simply bconuso he could get a tiffined, educated woman to do the work of a common, uneducated man at the snino wages.

Now this is essentially wrong. When women agree to undersell the men, they are doing incalculable harm both to their own cause and to that of tho men. Women up to tho present have been lamentably deficient in self respect and in the feeling of class union. Tho last thing a woman learns Is that she must not live to herself and her family alone, but that sho has a duty to tho great community at large, and that love for her own dear ones must be completed by tho altruism of truo enlightenment. This, and this only, ia the cure for tho miserable salaries with which women have hitherto been content. A higher sense of responsibility, a desire for a fair field and no favor—these must be their watchwords. The education of women has hitherto been to blame. They were not taught patience, carefulness, that quiet plodding In tho face of difficulties that constitutes tho value of a man's work. They were half educated, wholly unpractical.

Nowadays such things need not exist. Half educated teachers, half educated clerks, Incompetent people in all ranks, can find no employment. There must be training'—consistent, practical tialning— for women as well as for men. The great thing Is to weed out the inadequate work era, to pay good workers adequately. Women are gradually learning the value of a practical training, and when once the principle is universally acknowledged we may hope to see a different class of women workers from any we have had hitherto. We shall find them taking a pride and an Interest In their work equal to that of men. Wo shall find parents recognising the necessity of eduoating their daughters properly, and we shall find a gradual extinction of those hateful sweating pfac tices which have reduced civilised women to a fac worse condition of slavery than that of the African savage.—London Graphic.

Advanced WamiotMod.

One reads and hears so much about the advancement of women—sees about one woman pushing and stn :Mng In all branches of trade and pi\«t*ssloa»~that the question naturally arises,'• What comes of it all The so called "advanced thinkers" clamored at the doors of our medical college*, our dental colleges, our universities, until they were opened to thenfreak tr sex. What happened? Colleges became

fill®

the 'fad," and hundreds of women, young and old, fit and unfit, rushed forward for admittance. And, again, "What hap-, peuedf" What percentage of these women have ever made a mark in the profession q* trade selected?

The medical colleges especially have been the Mecca of women, and yet where are the noted women physicians? If «3 go to hospitals supposed to be conducted by women phyaeians, what do we find! Simply this—the women attending the minor cases and doing the clerical work. Men physicians are called in to do all the operating of any importance.. We find them also in the fti.-spensary departments and In many instances delivering lectures to the nurses. Is this tho advancement of women iii the medical profession?

This is only an exahiple of what occurs all along the line of the various manly pursuits taken up by women. The trouble with the entire army of advanced women is Just here. They stop far short of the end aimed at. They are determined to assort their rights as equal to men's in everything. All well, let it be so. Let them enter into anything, everything done ty their brothers, but for heaven's sake let them do something worthy of tnelr aim and not be satisfied with the mere fact that they have made it lawful for them to follow tho same callings as the sterner sex. After this has been accomplished the ardor seems to have burned itself out. Let us have more worthy results and less talk or let the women go on ruling the world by rocking the cradle.—Philadelphia Press.

Strength of Character.

Mme. de Genlls, the most intellectual woman of France and the rival of Mme. de Stael, said that of all her attainments the one she most prized was that in case of necessity she knew of 5o different wayf of earning a living. The day for admiring weakmlnded women is happily passed, and only a few of the very young and foolish still hold it desirable that women should be characterless und incapable of self support. Whlttler, In his "Amy Wentwortb," gives a charming touch of feminine strength of character. The girl, bom of an old and aristocratic family, has lost her heart to the captain of a fishing smaok whom her pictured gallery of anoestors would havo scorned.

But, strong of will and proud as they, She walks the gallery floor As if she trod her sailor's deck

In stormy Labrador.

Even in .flotlon it is not the weak woman that charms. Thackoray's Amelia Selby was good and sweet, but whose heart does she capture, with the thrill of admiration that magnificent young Ethel Newcombe commands when, "strong of will power as they,M she refuses to sucoumb to those who would have domineered over her? It is no longer necessary to recognize only two types, the clinging vine and the stalwart oak. There are innumerable Intermediary vegetable growths and no less variety In the human species. The slender, pliant elm or willow withstands the onslaught of the blast no less successfully than the oak itself, though it is through adaptability rather than sheer strength of fiber. And after all is said about the charm and grace of feminino dependence the fact remains that tho storms of life take the graces and charms into little account, and that one of the most necessary positions of a woman as well as a man in this world is strength—mental, moral and physical.—Exchange.

Mothers and Danjjhters.

Ruth Ashmore talks to mothers in The Ladies' Home Journal concerning their attitudes toward their daughters. Among many good things she says:

When God gave you that little life, he gave it to you that you might train It up In the way it should go, but he expected that mother love would make you study the difference beween one girl and another, and that you would discover the best way to make your own girl h»ppy. Sometimes, when she gets to be 10, you complain that you hail hoped to find so much comfort in hor, but that she seeks strangers instead of you and finds her greatest happiness away from you. Think back during years.

Remember when the child came to you with the story of ber pleasure, and you told her you were too busy to listen. Remember when she camc Into the parlor where you were entertaining friends, and you told hor to go out that grown up people wanted to talk about things she must not listen to. As you did this, why are you surprised that she should be far away from yon now? Why should you wonder that her closest friend Is not her mother, but some young girl who lives in the neighborhood?

In your old age it will all como up before you—the mistakes that you have made. And vou will realize that not only have you failed in your duty toward God in not caring for tho soul that ho trusted to you, but that your sins have come back to you, and you are suffering for them. Your daughter cares nothing for you. You lacked Interest In her when she was young, and now she is not interested In you. If you live with her, she finds you a burden. She is as far from you as if she were not ficssh of your fash, and you are alone and old, and the consolations of love and gratitude do not come to you. Do you want an old ago like that?

At to Knt«rta!nin(.

Lavish entertaining is not always the most acceptable form of hospitality of one's friends. Five o'clock tea gatherings open the way for a great deal of oostly intercourse unless the arrangements are on so extravagant a scale that one's gudsts are awed into silence rather than made to feel that-tho time and place are oonduclvo to congeniality.

There Is a certain ambitious hostess who turns ber at homes" into formal banquets. A fashionable caterer is engaged, given 6&rte blanche, and the result? Well, madam's friends oome to her elegantly appointed rooms, gabble over a few words of greeting, gobble up her choice salads, pastries and sillabubs and go home with envy in their hearts, a bad case of indigestion and no appetite for dinner.

Very different are the come-and go-as-you-please "at homes" of a wise little matron. Her roomy tea table, with its dainty cover, its burnished samovar and fragile china, Is of her own setting. The same deft fingers that so temptingly manipulated the teacups, the sugar cubes and the fat silver jug filled with rich, yellow cream arranged the wicker baskets full of sand wiches thinly cut and spread with ham, tongue or anchovy paste crisp wafers or beaten biscuit. What a gay chatter there is in every corner ot the room, and how reluctantly visitors leave thelamplit scene when outside duties demand their attention. Yes, this Is the successful "at home," the very essence of simplicity, flavored with good cheer and gracious welcome.—New York Mail and Express.,

The strength of these spldndid testimonials coming from well-known persons, gives to them such convincing power that the foremost men and women in the land are taking it because they know it will do exactly what people say it will.

One of the best known and honored men, Hon. W'm. J. Fisher, of Whallonsburg, N. Y., speaks as follows about himself and his estimable wife. "Nine years ago I had malarial fever, wbich developed into a severe case of Bright's disease. I saw a celebrated specialist who said I could live but a short time. I employed several emineut physicians. They all said I had Bright's disease, but none of them cured me "My wife, who was using Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy with great benefit, advised me to try it.

"Really, do you know," she continued, "such English girls as I met had absolutely no thought nor ambition In life exoept to got married, and, in view of the fact that their matrimonial market is decidedly overstocked, they worry awfully about their futures. Of course their mothers, poor things, do the best they can for them, and the girls arc perfectly shameless In the way they chase men who are thought to bo'eligible parties.' One reads about the Influences of Glrton and Newnham in women's journals, but these influences cer talnly do not seem to prevail in English society generally. Almost all the clever English women I met were either middle agod and married or 'elderly daughters' whom nature had cut out for old maids, and had nothing else to do except to go In for cultuie. They couldn't -understand that American girls had lots of things to think of besides husbands and Insisted besides on choosing their husbands for themselves."—New York Press.

It was In the nature of an experiment, and some of the officers thought it bad policy, but the woman stated the case this way: "We are paying $10 a month rent, and I know we could just as well pay that amount toward the purchase of a home." She succeeded in getting $760, with Which the association put up a brick cottage on her lot. Since that time she has added another story to the building, and a payment has never been missed. "I have observed," s«!d the secretary, "that a woman after a home, if she has good husband, manages to economise In such away thatsbe forms the best kind of a borrower.

CHILDREN'S COLUMN.

THE BOY CAPTAIN.

Young William Shotton Forrrd Into a Responsible Position, but Is Equal to It.

All boys are fond of sea tales and sea heroes, and they will want to take a good look at this young sea hero after they have read bis thrilling sea tale. To begin with, it is true in every particular. The "boy captain" Is William Shotton, a lad barely 18, who was born in .Gloucestershire, England, and who, being the son of an old sea captain, took naturally to the sea. He was on his first long voyage and had just finished his time as an apprentice when his ship, the Trafalgar, touohed at Batavia,

en the island of Java, in October, 1898. From there it was to sail straight to Melbourne, and If you got out your maps you will see that it Is a good stretoh of sea between the two places.

While the Trafalgar was lying at Batavla the captain died of Java fever, a ommon slcknews In those latitudes, and with two of the crew ill in the hospital there and two deserting for fear of the fever the ship was obliged to sail at the appointed time, Oct. 2J, with a crew all told of 23 men. It is a seven wesks' sail to Melbourne, and they wore hardly a fortnight out when the first mate, who had been made captain, died. Then tho first mate, the cook, the carpenter and the best seaman in tho crew sickened one after another and died too. There was left aboard not a soul who could lay the ship's

through the trackless sea except this Inexperienced lad, who had never done It— only studied how.

It was a serious position, for the crew could not bo blamed for having little faith in such a boy's ability, hut young Shotton never hesitated. .Day after day on thr quarter deck he took his bearings and worked out, with compass and chart, the position and course^of the ship, the men obeying him indeed, for there was nothing else to do, but in sullen uneasiness that was npt encouraging.

On Dec. 17, however, they were ready to worship him, for the spires of Melbourne were sighted, and the boy captain had won his title, bringing in his ship under circumstances that would have done the ablest skipper credit. *^-*-'54,

he never appears without it. At church he takes off his shoes at the door and enters with his hat on. Ho washes his faoe, eats his dinner, visits with his mother and sisters, reads, works, rests and even goes to beel in a skull cap. When a man or youth dresses in mourning, he puts on his head an enoiiuous straw hat, shaped like a wooden broad bowl, which completely hides his face from view, and he wears this for three years.
