Today and Days of Old. recent writer on '"Hie Growing KyIIb of the Day" hns enlarged very sxeatly upon the idleness of women and the wretched influences of life in apartment houses. He says: "In the days of our grandmothers1, when young married people wore almost im mediately interested in a growing fam ily and the duties of their own littlo homes, life did not hold one-tenth the temptations, and surely there was. a hundred per cent, less of scandal and divorce." Today, in n:s opinion, the apartment house is the curse of the age and re sponsible for many things. Where no many women are gathered together with "nothing to do," the .husband is away all day giving his wife time and license to drift into bad habits and worse morals; he avalcns sooner or later to find his happiness shattered and his homo in tears. This seems to us the most senseless reasoning in the world. In the first place, there never was an apartment ao small that a woman could not keep desperately or merrily busy in it all day long if she was so Inclined; and of all places an apartment can be so eas ily fitted to the principle of keeping away from one's neighbor. Unlike a boarding house, one can wrap the pri vacy of that little home around her and not even answer the bell. Then, too, thero never was an age wtien women were so universally busy. Do not our daughters as well as our aona quickly turn the moment they re solve their diplomas and face the ever aerplexing problem: "What must I do mow to provide for myself?" Oh, no; our quondam writer has tone far astray of the mark. Not idle mass, not npartment houses, not even the old Adam in us Is responsible for the deplorable conditions of today The unfaithful husband and erring wives, The shattered homes and ruined lives- hut man himself. The father who is willing to see his daughter go out into' the world, unless there Is dire neces sity for it; the brothers who enjoy the sight of their sister as a chorus girl, and the fiance who allows the woman me loves to work one day after he has asked her to be his wife. All these things, perhaps, must be, and we are being educated every day to think they must be, but they alone are responsible for the temptations that crowd so thick and fast around eur women of today. The pendulum must swing the same distance both ways, and if this is the rebound from the old Puritan severeness, then let us pray God it has reached its limit. Let ms soon go back to the pure, sweet time of our grandmothers the time of the harp and the minuet, the knitting lag and the silk apron; when moth ers, sisters, and wives were busy ever in their devotion and fidelity. It is pathetically absurd to note the extremes that some people will go to in order to establish erroneous Impres sions about themselves.

It is ono thing to rend of what de struction war has caused in tho world, and it is another to stand in tho midst of superb ruins of an edifice which was 600 yenrs in construction and to know it was defaced and destroyed and rob bed of till Its magnificence in a siege of a few days. All over Germany there nro such ruins all over Europe. Hero at Hei delberg stands tho most imposing evi dence of tho horror and wastefulness of war in tho magnificent castle of Heidelberg. It was tho home of kings and rulers from 1200 to 17G4. Frederick of Uohomia built a su perb tower and other additions In 1G10 to welcome his bride, Elizabeth, the daughter of James of England. Kings and queens and historical per sonages of almost a thousand years ago have climbed its stairs, walked in its gardens, 'sat upon its terraces and enjoyed the glorious view from its great turrets. It escaped destruction in tho horrible thirty years' war waged In the name of Christ, only to be blown up and looted by the French army in the next century. In the basement mnseum are pre served the original statues, more than one hundred, which aecorated arches and niches at the time of the siege. There are sixteen full-sized statues of the great Charlemagne, and all with broken arms or noses or other Injuries received in war. New duplicates appear In tho niches above, placed there hv the admirable society organized for the preservation of these old castles. When restoration Is added to pres ervation, the original Idea Is carried out minutely as nearly as data per mits. It is no wonder Germany has given us the greatest composers of music and tho greatest poets save Shakesprare tho world has known. (And even the English nation traces its origin back to Germany"). Such magnificence of forests, cliffs, water; such historic old castles, oozing romance and tragedy and man-changing events from every inch of mould ering mortar; such a stimulating cli mate all together must have Its re sult In great genius among its people! Ella Wheeler Wilcox, in Houston Chronicle. An Extraordinary Record. Josephine Daskam Bacon wrote tho following paragraph with her fingers crossed. It Is a statement of her qual ifications for discussing the servant problem a job she is now tackling in The American Magazine. "I believe myself to be notably for tunate in my relations with my do mestic employes. During a period of eight years, in which I have employed household labor in four widely differ ent places a typical New England town, a large and flourishing sufcurb, the largest city in the country, and a tiny rural community I have never once been addressed wnn Intentional disrespect by any person In my em ploy; I have never been left a day without my regular staff of employees, which has varied from one to five (that is to say, that I have never beon left suddenly or without sufficient no tice to supply the vacancy); I havo never had a satisfactory worker leave me except for what I considered a good reason (in tho majority of cases, an advantageous marriage) ; I have never lost an unsatisfactory ono except by my own dismissal; I havo never, to my knowledge, or even suspicion, suf fered the loss of a penny's worth by theft, and my record for breakage Is such that it produces utter incredulity in tho listener; in thrco casos out of four I havo had services willingly and frequently offered mo along lines where It was not expected or request ed; I have had extra money, offered by me to offset extra work occasioned by sickness, refused, on tho ground that at such times all the household expected to share tho tronblo; and as a climax. I am able to state that once at least, on my offering a raise in wages to express my appreciation of competent and devoted servico I was mot with tho astonishing suggestion that as my expenses were heavy at tho time nnd likely to increase, I had bet ter not consider It!"

"Big mixed schools are bad for child ren, educationally, morally and physic ally," said Miss Cleghorn, head of ouo of tho largo elementary schools In Sheffield, England, referring to tho dangers of coeducation. It was impos sible, she said, for a head teacher to hnvc proper individual Influence over tho pupils. It was said that girls exer cised a good influence oror boys, but sho was sorry to say that there were a great many bad llttlo girls, tinder viioso influence boys ought not to bo placed. Tho teachers seemed to feel this to bo true in tho majority of cases. PILES CURED IN 6 TO 14 DAYS.

That marrlago is n lottery Is not merely a figure of speech In the prov ince of Smolensk, Russia; it Is un ac tual fact. There four times every year a lottery is held, tho capital prizo being a young country girl, with some times a good dowry in sheep. The price of a ticket is about 85 cents. At a single drawing 5,000 tickets are sold. Ho who is fortunate enough to draw the lucky ticket has his alternative ho may marry tho girl If she pleases him, also gaining thereby $4,250. In ad dition to whatever the gin bung? with her as dowry, or, If tho "prize" in question does not please him, he can turn the ticket over to a friend Paris Has the Largest Garage The largest existing garage in tho world is now very probably tho Palais de 1'Autom.obile In the boulevard Per iere. Within tho last "ev weeks tho floor space has been Increased from 2, 000 square metres to well over 5,000 squaro metres. The hall thus provided is so vast that three or four hundred machines can be comfortably stored. There is a special washing department, whoro fifty cars can be cleaned at once, and each chauffeur having a machine In storo has a cupboard to himself. There are three entrances and exits, so that there is nevor any crowding In tho morning when tho machines are going out for tho day. Tim sight at night, when machines arc returning every few minutes, is ono which gives a good idea of the extent of automobile traffic in Paris. TO CURE A COLD IN ONE DAY.

"One of the latest occupations for women is found in the role of 'under study' to the wives of the great Ameri can millionaires," says the Dundee Advertiser. "Tho 'understudy,' as sho Is called 'dummy,' although more cor rect, Is an Inelegant term Is employ ed to 'try on' dresses. Sho must have the exact measurements of her patron ess, tho same coloring, and, when pos sible, the same typo of face. It is not sufficient that an understudy should bear a close physical resemblance to her employer. She must havo absorb ed her ideas and individuality, and possess good taste and sound Judgment In regard to wearing apparel. With such qualifications she can command high prices. Of a certain young wo man who represented for dressmaking purposes ono of New York's wealthiest ladies it Is related that for services extending only over six weeks in 'try ing on' and superintending the making of a set of gowns and other garments she received payment at the rate of $50 per week." Wild Cats Grow Bold. Wildcats, attracted by the deer, have appeared in large numbers in tho out skirts of Vermont towns near Rutland and have caused considerable alarm among tho inhabitants of the rural dis tricts. Several flno specimens have beon brought In by local sportsmon, who report them in greater numbor than usual. The big cats have shown groat boldness in stalking their game, and often follow tho deer to the bor ders of the towns. Many of them have beon shot within tho boundary lines of tho largo villages. Active stops are being taken to drive out tho savage pests, ag not only do they slaughter gajno but they are a menace to travel ers on country rqads.

Investigations ot tbe scientists at Washington have recently developed the fact that at present the area of the Dismal Swamp Is slowly sinking, and Lake Drummond, in Its centre, is Crowing larger. Similar changes have occurred in the past, periods of eleva tion and subsidence gradually succeed ing one another. The average eleva tion above sea level is so slight that natural drainage Is insufficient to re move the rainfall. Great Slaughter of Deer. The greatest deer hunt on record in Canada was that in the wilds of Onta rio in tho open season in last Novem ber. From the latest returns received by the Grand Trunk railway system, tho lines of which tap the best terri tory in the province for fish and game, it appears that tho hunters had tho fullest measure of success. In the fif teen days of the open season of 18D0 tho Canadian Express company alone transported 3,100 carcasses of deer, having an aggregate weight of 318,215 pounds, all of these Doing shipped from points on the northern and Otta wa divisions of tho Grand Trunk.
