What Money Is Doing.
There are even in these days a good
many families in the United States
who find it possible to do a certain
amount of moderately high thinking
and still cultivate some of the graces
of life. They may be obliged to live
simply, says Scribner’s, and yet may
not need to use up all their vitality
in manual labor. True, they must
walk when others ride, they must taka
thought to their apparel, that it be
presentable at small cost, and when
they entertain their friends they must
do it simply. But they have time to
read books and they have money to
educate their children. Oftener than
not they are persons whose family
traditions incline them to fastidious
ness in social matters. They and their
forebears have been accustomed not
■*nly to well-bred, but interesting pea
pie and have kept in touch with what
was going on in the world; in short,
they have a taste for the best society.
Twenty-five years ago there was no
reason why they shouldn’t maintain
their inherited or acquired right to it,
but the tendency on the part of cer
tain of their fellow citizens to what
has been characterized as “the habit
of getting rich” has changed all that.
It is not only that the accumulation
of colossal fortunes restricts the finan
cial chances of the moderately ambi
tious majority, but it deprives them
of some innocent and legitimate com
forts and pleasures to which they
think themselves reasonably entitled,
by Increasing so tremendously the cost
of living with the standard of luxury
Is raised in proportion. This, to be
sure, is an old cry, but to the impe
cunious majority it does not cease to
be a live issue.
Yet one cannot find fault witn me
people who have made money for
wanting to spend it; one cannot be
surprised if their ideas are crude and
if they fail to appreciate a refined sim
plicity. Most of us spend all the
money we can afford and we should
not thank anyone who should presume
to dictate to us as to what we ought
to buy with it. The very rich do not
in the least intend to make life hard
for the rest of the world. In fact
from their kind-hearted desire to give
pleasure we get some singularly bad
results, such as, for instance, the pool
girl with rich tastes, who, although
she need not always be a Lily Bart
yet is always in an unnatural and de
moralizing position; and the young
man who goes to the dogs in his effort
to keep up the pace with his rich
mates.
Humble Heroes.
Calling attention to the fidelity ol

this to say: “Fix the eyes of th<
community on a man in official placf
and he will scorn his own safety. Givf
the obscure man something to do tha
calls for greater activity than usua‘
and he will seldom fail to come up tt
what is expected of him. Exceptional

and policemen are often the result oi
the spirit of the service, though it L
possibly less so in their case than ir
that of the soldier or the sailor wht
is of emulation all compact. It in
volves no reflection on the soldier, the
sailor or those who, in other rank:
of life, practice the military virtues oi
discipline and obedience to say thai
the man who, in great peril, goes or
doing his ordinary duty, with no hopt
of applause, honors or individual dis
tinction, is as heroic as any hero
That is why we ask you to take ofl
your hat to the telegraph operators in
San Francisco.”
Armies and navies are expensive;
we need farmers more than we need
soldiers; we need merchant ships
more than we need battleships. The
civil war demonstrated that it does
not take long to make a first-class
fighting man of the American citizen
and there are 10,000,000 such ready
to fight in a quarrel with a stranger.
The only power that is at all likely to
give us serious trouble is Japan, and
she will not undertake it until she
shall think herself strong enough to
order all the other white folks out oi
her neighborhood. That will be gener
ations hence and need give us no con
cern. Our business is to make money,
not to engage in war. We have an im
mense territory right here in the re
public that is yet virgin and the de
mand is for laborers, not soldiers.
Prof, brainier Mattuews minks the
atrical audiences see jokes more quick

proud and happy progress in risibility
has come about “because the stage of
to-day is so well lighted that all the
spectators can follow the changing ex
pressions on tne countenances of ihe
quarreling couple, whereas in the
eighteenth century the theater was al
most gloomy, as there were only
sparse oil lamps to serve as footlights,
by which It may have been difficult to
see a joke.”
The opening ot a bank with a capi
tal of |25,000 in Tioga, Pa., would u;\
under ordinary circumstances, consti
tute a notable event; but as the bauk
is organized under the auspices of the
state grange, is owned and managed
by grangers, and is designed to be the
first of a series of grange banks, its
opening is very interesting.

THE INTERESTING QTX j
The Latest Gossip from the Eastern
Metropolis—Society’s Fads and
Fancies of the Hour.
New York.—The success of the Night and
Day bank has been complete. The first announce
ment sounded freakish enough. The average per
son doubtless thought of the Innovation as ac
commodating a few people out of four millions
and as a good idea in a way. Doubtless the same
thought occurred to the average person at the
all night proposition as applied to the restaurants
In the first week the Night and Day bank
took in over a million dollars in deposits. This
was proof enough that the bank was not merely
to express a whim or to accommodate a whim.
Of course there were whimsical people, like the
man who waited at the door for five hours in or
der to make the first deposit when the doors were
opened at six in the evening. But it was a prac
tical matter with most of those who followed.
The most sanguine of the bank’s directors did
not look for so quick a success. Deposits con
tinue to pour in. The Night and Day bank—“al
ways open or never closed, as you please—is an estamisnea msiuuuon,
part of the picturesque night life of the metropolis.
Last Sunday morning there was another illustration of New York's wake
fulness. Archbishop Farley celebrated the fifth anniversary of the establish
ment of the midnight mass for night workers. The mass was said in the old
Duane street church at 2:30 in the morning. It was attended by hundreds
of printers and others employed on the newspapers and elsewhere until after
two in the morning. The archbishop spoke feelingly of the success of the
enterprise, founded for those who otherwise could scarcely be expected to
attend Sunday church. •
A YOUNG MILLIONAIRE’S RIGHT ARM.
iouug jay uuuiu s tennis triumpns in tug
land have occasioned a good deal of comment.
His success in the preliminary matches was ex
pected to represent all he could look for. No one
expected a multi-millionaire's son to really “make
good” in an open competition of this kind. Then
young Jay won the semi-finals and at last the de
cisive games. His friends are not surprised.
They have marked him as an unusual young man
not merely in tennis, but in everything that he
undertakes.
At his Lakewood palace he has been a bus>
and an attractive figure. He is a “good fellow’
and a hard worker. He seems to illustrate the
tradition that in every famous family there is
always one scion who is unwilling to live on the
family glory.
If, as John Hay once put it of another, he
prefers to have laurels on his brow rather thar
to "browse on his laurels,” much may be expected
of young Jay Gould.
Tennis, by the way, continues to shoulder golf out of popular attention
As the spring advances it becomes plain that it will have even greater prom
inence than it enjoyed last year.
MYSTERY OF A JEWEL.
Friends of John Jacob Astor are particularly
interested in the singular mystery associated with
the will of Millionaire Willing, Mr. Astor's father
In the division of the property young Mr. Willing
is left among other things the most curious legacy
ever left to an American—namely the legacy of 3
lost jewel.
■timuus uluci possessiuus oi mis millionaire
was a coronet that once belonged to a French
queen. This coronet now lacks its chief jewel, an
immensely valuable stone, which, in the language
of the will, was ••abstracted”—Mr. Willing did not
write stolen. "If this shall be returned,” says the
will, "it shall go to my son.”
What does "abstracted” mean? This is what
the curious are asking. Who took this remark
able jewel? Did Mr. Willing know who “ab
stracted” it? If he did not know, why did he not
say "stolen?” If he did know, why did he not
demand its return? Has he always hoped 01
known that some day it would be returned? Has he hoped that the language
of his will would force its present holder to turn it over to the heir?
Why should it have been taken under circumstances that left Mr. Willing
with a knowledge of the taker? ’ 6
There are many speculations as to the answer to this mystery. The heir
himself has nothing to say. The great stone is his, wherever it is.
WHY SO MANY HUSBANDS LEAVE HOME.
me uumuer or people reported missing” Id
New York is at all time very-large. Many of then
are husbands.
A recently issued document from the Chari
ties Organization has helped toward the investi
gation of an old question: Why do husbands
leave home?
The case is here of the New York husband.
Probably he is little different from any other
though the figures for New York seem in some
respects to be peculiar. If these figures meaD
anything, the old mother-in-law tradition receives
a hard blow. Out of 575 cases there were only
32 cases where a mother-in-law could possibly
have been the issue. Surely this is small pro
portion, if the tradition is to be considered at all.
There are a great number of assigned causes
—or at least assigned occasions. The wife gam
bled, the husband gambled, the wife was quarrel
some, and so on. The baby occupies the center
Ui me siage. me nrsi. uaoy is revealed as an awful menace. Often the hus
band came back after the colic period was past. It isn’t claimed that he
figured this out carefully, but in a multitude of cases the fact was that way.
But most conspicuous of all reasons for desertion seems to be that of
money. In over 200 cases money trouble is directly cited. And among all
money causes the ability or willingness of the wife to earn is given as chief.
THE DECLINE OF THE BLEACHED BLONDE.
nas me Dionae nad Her day?
Is the bleached beauty to be a vision of the
past? Is peroxide loveliness to lose its potency?
It might seem to be so if we regard tne new
est announcement of the hair specialists.
Even red hair—the wonderful Titian colotrs
that sought to displace the yellow luster of ten
years ago—seems to be dimming its splendor.
There is another fashionable color.
Gray hair is the thing!
To be sure, “prematurely” gray is mentioned
as a particular attraction, but if one looks not too
venerable, who is to say that the gray is not
premature?
As if to confirm the new claim comes an in
cident at the hair dressers’ contest last Saturday
night. A dozen masters of the art, each with a
chosen model, spent a public hour in dressing
hair for a prize. It was an exciting and remark
able event. Each artist, in evening dress, each
amieu wun a ramu, ana naving ai ms nann a gas neater with curling tongs,
stood ready for the signal. When it came they started at their delicate labor!
The model's hair in each instance hung loose down her back. At the end
of the hour twelve wonderful coiffures stood revealed.
One of the models had beautiful iron gray hair—“prematurely” gray,
mind you—and to the artist who presided over her tresses went the prize.
No longer are the “silver kings” to strut about for admiration aione
“Silver queens” have come into vogue. It will be an awful blow to the hair
dye people, but there are a good many others in New York who will take
hope. OW7EN LANGDON.
-----1
One of the most la
mentable tendencies of
the times is that which
manifests a disposition
to depreciate the home
and to turn the duties of
wife and mother over
to domestics while the
supposed head of the
house gives her time to
club life, social functions, etc., until the mother and wife becomes al
most a stranger to husband and children.
For the husband to give his time to other environments than the
home life—to spend all his evenings at the club; to linger over his
“cups” or waste in the “gambling hell” the hours he ought to give to
his wife and children; to fail to impress his personality upon the home
life—is reprehensible indeed; but for the wife to neglect the home
means to undermine the very foundations of the republic and cut ofl
the resources which make for the nation’s well being and happiness.
The model wife is consecrated womanhood—building itself
through the days and weeks and years into the lives of her loved ones
The real throne of the model wife is the home. I know there are
exceptions. I am familiar with the Clara Bartons, the Joan of Arcs
the Frances Willards and others who have turned aside from the
home, actual or prospective, and enriched the world by so doing.
But, nevertheless, the throne of womankind, and of the model wife in
Darticularjs the home.
A PUMPKIN-YELLOW WALL.
Recommended for a Summer Home
with Mission Furniture—About
Other Decoration
This is an excellent wail paper color
for a summer home room furnished in
the mission furniture. The wood trims
about the room should be stained some
dark hue, such as weathered or fumed
oak, to correspond with the dark tone
of the furniture. In this case the best
color to use at the windows is yellow
like the paper.
The paper chosen may be cartridge,
burlap may be put on the walls and
Stained, or the walls may be rough
plastered and sanded, and then tinted.
This last is most satisfactory. It is
especially to be recommended where
mission furniture is used, for it seems
particularly well adapted to the sim
plicity of construction expressed by
the straight line furniture. In addi
tion to this it has the advantage of be
ing the cheapest form of wall treat
ment available. If this method of dec
oration be adopted, a plate rail may
be used on the walls two-thirds of the
distance from the floor, and above
that a lighter tint of yellow will make
a most agreeable contrast and do away
with the necessity of a frieze.
If the room is of awkward Height
either too low or too high, some of the
modern designs in stripes are particu
larly useful. Should the room be too
high the stripes ought not to go
to the ceiling, but should end some
distance below it, and at this point a
picture molding should be applied. If
the room is too low the reverse treat
ment should be applied, and the paper
carried over on the molding on the
ceiling for a few inches. In this case
no molding should be used, and the
furniture should be kept away from
the walls.
The use of advancing colors like
reds or yellows will tend to make the
room look smaller and more cheerful,
particularly if it have a cold exposure
while the use of the receding colors
blues or greens, will give the room an
appearance of increased size, and help
tone down the often too vivid light.—

THE ART OF PERFECT REST
In These Strenuous Days of Many In
terests, Necessary at Intervals
to Belax Wholly.
“I’ve Joined the perfect rest so
ciety,” said a physical perfection girl,
“and I’m learning all there is to know
about getting rested.
"I am never tired, I always feel
springy, and after a while I expect to
be able to stand anything and every
thing. It all depends upon getting
rested and keeping rested. It is a real
ly wonderful thing.
“Our society takes daily lessons in
the art of perfect rest. We relax and
we unbend and we teach one another
how to get rested.
“Our teacher is a pupil of Betz, the
Berlin physical culturist, and we get
points from him once a fortnight. At
other times we read aloud and teach
one another. It is immensely edify
ing, for its results are quickly and
easily apparent.
“Before I began to be a perfect rest
girl I was nervous, and I never knew
how or when to rest. I was never
wholly still. I fidgeted this way and
that way all the time.
“Our primary lesson was in the con
centration of the muscles. You have
heard of mind concentration. Well, we
learned muscle concentration.
“It is a great thing. It rests you like
a nap or an hour's heavy slumber.
“If you want to try muscle concen
tration, settle yourself in a corner and
rest. Arrange your feet, fix your arms,
settle yourself so that you are com
fortable from head to foot
“Now sit this way for five minutes,
motionless. Don’t cough, don’t move,
don't do anything but breathe. Take
long, deep, easy breaths and close your
eyes or leave them open. It does not
matter which. But don’t move.
“This is your first lesson in muscle
concentration.
“At the end of five minutes you will
be rested.”—N. Y. Sun.
FOR BIBLICAL STUDENTS.
“Evolution of a Great Literature,” by
Newton Mann, a Bemark
able Work.
In a book remarkable for its clear
ness, fearlessness and candor, Newton
Mann, of Omaha. Neb., has shown how
possible it is popularize a rational
view of the Bible. "The Evolution ol
a Great Literature” will be welcomed
by all who are not in complete bond
age to traditionalism. Probably no
Bible scholar will agree with the
book in all its details and conclusions,
but all must admit its sincerity and
fairness.
Mr. Mann has summed up for popu
lar use the conclusions of what is
called the “higher criticism” of the
Scriptures. Undoubtedly there has
been for some time a general desire
for a condensed and unpolemical state
ment of what these conclusions are
and of the steps by which they are
reached. In “The Evolution of a Great
Literature,” a natural history of the
Jewish end Christian Sciptures, Mr.
Mann has given us this in a perfect
form.
Ginger Cookies.
Here is still another recipe for gin
ger cookies: Sift together three cups
flour, one cup sugar, a dessertspoon
ful each of soda and ginger and one
half teaspoonful salt. Heat in sauce
pan one cup molasses with one-half
cup shortening; when hot add four
dessertspoonfuls hot water. Cool
slightly and stir into dry mixture.
Add quickly two well-beaten eggs.
Mix well. Drop by spoonfuls a little
distance apart on buttered tin. When
pan is full, flatten each cooky with
bottom of measuring cup, well floured.
Bake in moderate oven. One-half
recipe is sufficient.
Turning Heme.
A good way to turn even hems on
table linen, ready for hand sewing, is
to put tne hemmer attachment on the
sewing machine and run the linen
through, without any thread on the
machine. This turns a straight hem
very quickly which is merely folded
back when over-hand hemming is
done; the orthodox hemming for table
linen.

May Be Selected as the Object of

Often Rejuvenates a Mother.
BY MARGARET E. SANGSTER.
(Copyright, 1906, by Joseph B. Bowles.)
Every one knows how exactly the
jook and housemaid are about their
much-prized privilege of an afternoon
ant. Very few household emergencies
seem to them of sufficient importance
to justify the slightest concession, so
far as this pleasure of theirs is con
cerned. Illness in the family or af
fliction seldom interferes with the
regularity of the maid’s visiting her
own people on the day that belongs
to her, and it is a very high-handed and
Independent mistress who ventures
now and then to suggest a change in
the programme of the people below
stairs. Indeed one cannot blame
Norah for insisting on her vested rights
in this matter, for there is undoubted
monotony in kitchen work and domes
tic servants get little opportunity for
fresh air and sunshine, even when
they are allowed a good deal of free
dom in the evening when the day’s
work ‘s over.
There is an aspect of home me tar
too little considered in the numerous
households wnere the presiding
genius is a woman whose tastes in
cline her to stay much indoors, and
whose ideal of duty compells her to
feel that whoever is absent, she must
always be on duty. When the chil
dren go to school the mother is at
the door to see them off and to watch
them as they tramp merrily and sturd
ily down the street. When they rush
in at the noon recess eager for lunch
eon, mother is on the spot and her
presence makes the noon hour the
brighter for her boya and girls. When
the husband leaves for business the
wife waves a cheery hand to him from
the window, and when he turns the
latch key at night and she hears its
ilick, she is ready to receive him with
a smile and a greeting. Her position
is that of a monarch who cannot ab
dicate and who may not leave the
precincts of his realm. In another
phase it is like that of the soldier
who cannot desert his post for ever
so short a time under stringent penal
ties. Habit and rouf'ne have bound
this wife and mother with fetters of
silk that are strong as iron. Nobody
sees any particular goo.’ness or vir
tue in the mother’s aevotion since it
is only what is expected of her, and
the sort of - thing that has been ex
pected from mothers for many a gen
eration.
I am not alluding to the fashionable
mother whose days are a round of
brilliant functions and who delegates
her individual responsibilities to
nurses, governesses and needy rela
tives. Nor am I thinking of the heed
less mother to whom duty is merely
a name and whose selfishness leads
her to shirk any claim that she can.
In our country the vast majority of
mothers are self-sacrificing to a fault,
forgetting and effacing themselves
that their children may nave the right
of way in every department, in
amusement, in study, in comfort and
ease, in dress, and in the small lux
uries that are the embroideries on the
rough garment of daily usage.
• » • • *
There are thousands of women
growing old prematurely, losing
health, beauty and elasticity because
they almost never have any relaxation
apart from their own households.
Once a week at least, the mother
should have her afternoon out. She
should take it as a part of her re
ligion and should conscien iously in
sist for that time on being away from
the loved ones who are so precious
and yet so burdensome. Were the
mother snatched from her darlings
and laid to rest under the spring vio
lets, the children would be obliged to
live on without her incessant care and
brooding.
Homes rise before me in tnought in
which a few brief months ago the
mother was at once chief ruler and
servant -in-chief. She is gone. The
calaslr >p. e of a sudden sickness and
a swift death has /recked the Joy of
the place where the mother’s smile
was the constant benediction. in
' more than one instance mothers whe
are thus lost to their families might
have been saved had their vitality not
been sapped by too strenuous and too
unremitting toll aud oversight, part
! of which might have been shifted to
other shoulders.
• • • • •
Several years ago in a large eastern
city a woman whose life was ltu
mee-iely valuable to her husband and
children seemed about to break down
! in nervous collapse. Her physician
! said: "You must take one day in
1 seven and drop the loads you are car
rying, stay out of doors, go to Bee pic
; tures, or to hear music, or spend the
| time in visiting a friend, or in doing
something agreeable away from the
atmosphere of your home." The pre
scription was followed to the rein
forcement of the failing health and to
the permanent advantage of the en
tire household.
10 secure inis auernoon out may
mean a little effort In the beginning.
Here the mother will require the aid
of some one who ,oves her and who
is willing to take the initiative in
friendly urgency. As going out with
out a definite object appears to the
domestic woman aimost unheard of
and impossible, an objective point
should be selected. The maid, of
course, has hers in the cousins and
other kin whom she visits on hei
Thursday, in the shops, or the bank,
to which her steps tend, either to de
posit her wages or to purchase some
: thing she longs for. Let the mother
J plan a little so that her afternoon out
may not lack an object. If she reside
■ in a suburb there may be an excur
j sion to town or, if in town, she may
resort to the home of a suburban ac
j quaintance. The prime necessity is thai
• she shall go somewhere and not be
i ashamed or afraid to go for her personal
' gain and not for the good of her family
Whatever she does for her personal up
building will react favorably upon her
home.
There occur exigencies when a mother
requires much more than a single week
ly afternoon. Not long ago I was talk
ing with a mother who was arranging
for a leave of absence from her home
that should extend over half a year. She
was going with her husband on a pro
longed trip in which many weeks would
be spent on the ocean and many placet
visited in two hemispheres. In order tc
do this she would be obliged to leave i
family of little children at home, but
they would be under the care of a grand
mother and an aunt and every item foi
their comfort and safety was thought ol
in minuteness.
“The rest will have to be left,” said
the mother, “to the guardianship of f
watchful Providence. I shall mothei
them far better when I come back tc
them, rejuvenated, than I am mother
ing them now.”
This talk is a plea ior the mother's oc
casional leave of absence. It is less a
plea for the mother than with her. She
herself is usually the main obstacle in
the way of her own vacations. She
plans holidays for others and takes none
herself. Mothers in general are ruuct
too unselfish. It is their beautiful weak
ness to be strong for others and saintly
to the end of their days. Yet a weakness
it is,and those who honor and prize them
should do their best to cure them of it
and make them thoughtful for their own
well-being.

The Hair and Scalp.
Shampooing the hair too often is
injurious to the hair and scalp. Once
a month is as often as the hair anc
1 scalp should be washed. It can b«
kept perfectly clean by brushing thor
oughly with a coarse brush, and the
brushing is much better for the hair
Water must be used upon the hair
only when it is washed. Used any oth.
er time it fades the hair. Massage
the scalp with the cushion tips oi
the fingers, being very careful not tc
scratch the scalp with the nails. Irri
tating the scalp in any way will
cause dandruff. Occasionally, aftei
the massage, apply a lotion of boraj
and glycerin, two drams of each te
eight ounces of distilled water. Thif
is cooling, and allays dryness of tin
skin.
A NICE SKIN TONIC.
for the Greasy Face Use a Cloth
Moistened in White Bum
and Water.
Once a day'when the skin is in
clined to be greasy, use a few drops of
white rum and water on a soft cloth
for the face and hands; this is very
refreshing and a genuine tonic that
helps a flaccid, flabby condition won
derfully. Any really good toilet wkter,
that one knows has not too much
rectified spirits in it, will answer the
same purpose, but many of those sold
are almost entirely alcohol, with a lit
tle perfume, and soon spoil the texture
jf the best skin.
If fresh buttermilk can be had, use
a basinful of it and let it dry on the
skin. It* is not the most delightful face
beta, but is surely fine for clearing
away freckles and sunburn. There 1*
no benefit to be derived from just
wiping with a bit of cloth that has
been wet in buttermilk; big pints of il
are needed. And the drying in is nol
to be neglected; the skin absorbs and
Is cleansed by buttermilk far better
than by any sort of soap that was
ever compounded.
Here again a word of warning is
needed; a woman must remember that
the odor of buttermilk soon becomes
very unpleasant; therefore her bath
In its beaut}-giving liquid should be
