The Psyschological Kovlew has been -jutudyhiB the psychology of profanity. jThe psychologist avers that "as ro- Ciirds the subjective effects of pro fanity , the most striking Is that of a jleasiint fooling of relief from a pain- inl stress. " The point Is well taken. That widow who sued u well-to-do fanner for breach of promise of mar riage , and pending the law's delays found a husband by replying to a news paper advertisement , Is entitled to credit for sincerity of purpose and a eel-there faculty which should Insure an enterprising domestic outllt. ' There seeins to be no doubt that laws could be enacted under the Constitution providing for a unlforu ) marriage epn- tract In all the States and proscribing the same causes and conditions under which divorce may bo obtained In any part of the territory of the Uul.ud States. The laxity of the marriage ami divorce laws of many of the States has long been a so'urce ' of national disgrace. It Is useless to Ignore the fart that < thcrc Is a growing opposition to the death penalty. This Is shown lu the Increasing dillieulty of scouring convic tions which Involve that penalty. Theie re probably hundreds of murderers at large to-day who owe their liuuuin'.ty from punishment to the rcluciaueo of Jurors to the taking of life by the Slate. This may be Illogical , squonm'shly sen timental and all that , but It N a mafer of which legislators are bound to take Account. To H x penalties of which pub lic sentiment docs not secure the en forcement Is dangerous lawmaklng. A critic of social conditions writ's ' that "the average young man won't work , " and follows It up with the state ment that "tho average young man spends his substance In riotous living. " The average young man hn been II- lelod by this erlile. The a VIM ago youna man of this country Is not a young of Independent , unearned Income , the average young man spends his sub stance In riotous tvlng.\ho ! \ must work for It.

Aristocrat and plebeian an ; only com parative terms. Some year.- * ago Pro fessor Ooddos , of Edinburgh , moved bis family Into a slum district where they hoped to do fr'oudly work among the poor. One ovcn'.ng he asked a il s- tlugulKhod statesman to dine wljji two local guo. ts , a chimney sweep and a scavenger. The statesman accepted with unfeigned pleasure , the scavenger said he would come ; but tlu > chimney ( sweep refused to sit down \\rih the scavenger. At another time die family ou the first Jloor of the dotvcpli tone- knent they Inhabited to d I'ri.t'osur jGeddes that If he contlui'nd to speak ID the family la the jcarvot ho must drop ( their acquaintance. "If the angels haw Inuy fun In them , " wrote Horace Vval- pole , "how our distinctions must divert /them / ! " An American consul reports from Owl-many that rocking-chairs , which ho says are almost unknown In many partsof that country , are gradually growing In favor In his district , The chairs are of American make. A stock of oak rockers brought good price * . J'cr.sons who use the chairs for the first lime ndss certain associations which with us are Inseparably connected with what have been called "cradles for grown-up babies. " Generations of com fort-seekers have made the rocker a central article of furniture. There Is a peculiar expressiveness In Its use. No one has formulated a language of the rocklng-chalr , but the varied motions reveal moods In the user. Ease , con tentment , rtnerlo , nervous cxclto.mont , multiplied states of the sonslbilitlcs- bow clearly such mental conditions are disclosed as the chair responds to the human motive power ! Memory cher ishes pictures of Infancy rocked to sleep and of age resting In the familiar cor ner. Years have given the chair almost personal characteristics. Our dealers en u bell rockers , and good ones , to our friends across the sea , but recollec tions are untransferable , and associa tions cannot be bought rcady-nladc. The discussion going on as to how a person can manage to live on $ U.r 0 a week Is not \very \ healthy or hopeful. The preaching of economy to a certain degree Is right and It Is one's duly to practice economy within reasonable bounds , but the tendency of many of he'suggestions and experiences now indlng place In public print Is to strengthen the Impression that human needs are after all very small. The most natural Inference drawn is that men Aught t6 be content If earning a mere pittance and that 'emijloyers can feel a clear conscience If' they pay wages which enable'the teller to secure the bare necessities of life. Men ought to stmly and practice economy , but this duty does not rust solely on the wage earners , As Is5 to be InfolTod from the form the discussion Is taking. Weie tlio picas being madu diio-tod toward extravagance In all stations of life they might be more hopeful , but such Is not ' the evident purpose. The endeavor seems lo he to show how cheaply one can live In order to justify the paying of meager wages. While there should be effort made to keep one's expenses within the lncome.no matter how small that Income may be. yet the greater ef fort should be to Increase that Income Employers ought not to bo contei't wltl simply paying such wages as \ \ 11 bare ly enable men to live and the men ought not to bo content with simply earnim , enough to keen humror awav. Yet sucl Is the tendency of the discussion no\\ going on. It would be far more prollt able for ambition to exorcise Itself U trying to see how productive life can bo made Instead of how economical It can be. The energies should be direct ed to enlarging the powers of meeting life's needs rather than In endeavoring to reduce the needs themselves. The policy of expansion Is more healthy than that of contraction. Men should seek lo grow In every way rather than to shrink. The tabloid theory of seeing how little a man can live on Is not the one for this progressive age. It Is far bettor for one lo strive to so enlarge his earning powers and to so Increase his value to Ids follows that his services to the world will bring him the largest returns possible. Instead of discuss.ng the < iuostlon of how little a man can get along with It Is bettor to tliink of how much a fnaii can get along with. A man by the name of Hayes has seriously started a League of l.ove. lie wants to put more romance Into the world and make love marriages preval ent. He has made many speeches. started a magazine , and is organlxlng Love Societies. If Mr. Hayes will per fect a system that will keep people as Irresponsible as. blue birds from mating ; If ho will teach the rising generation that the first smile on a sweei face and an answering throb In"a. . young but manly heart Isn't love , but admiration , he may do humanity some good. Mr. Hayes rages against divorce , and talks about the perfect life and the perfect love. They are good things. They should ho < the foundation of every homo. The natural life association of a man and a woman Is founded on I.ovo and antedates the marrlgo cere mony and the divorce court. Hasty marriages , the wedding of people who Know little of each other , are general- l\ romantic and not practical. Tin -Hiig man may look like a tired ; god , or wbat In Imagination serves for a ( ireed god : the girl may be sweet as a June rose. It's natural for them to care for each other. The young follow feels that he could conquer worlds for her sake. Mr. llayos would hustle that couple lo the nearest parson and beau on the pair when a marriage of love had lieon made. I'nfi i innately , a gooi many other people have no more souse of responsibility lhan Mr. Hayes. I.t1 the young man conquer a few of ( host worlds , Ho has a Mont heart and gout muscles. What Is worth having Is worth waiting for. Has bi > saved any money ? That Is a sordid ( iiiosilon. Ho'Jl wonder why It didn't occur lo lain when ho marries and has to buy some thing every day for a year. And meanwhile - while the girl who Is to marry may learn that with waiting comes knowl edge of how to make the homo for two beautiful. If she Is the right kind of a girl she will want to loam. And one : day they will wed , Tliero'll be a little home ready and the woman that enters It for life will be prepared to make H a real homo and not a stopping place. That IK romance that rciiulrch only common scnso mixed \\lth affection. It doesn't care for-love leagues , and the hearts that It enters are seldom ex hibited In divorce courts.

IIE accounts contained In the dally papers of a man lu New Jersey who has separated from his wife , and left her , because be had no privacy In bin own home , Is enough to cause consternation among the mar ried women throughout the length and breadth of the land. It looks us 1C the worm were going to turn at last , and the poor , down-trodden American man was beginning to realize that ho has rights In the home which even his wlfo Is bound to recognize. This Is a brand-new Idea. Heretofore It has been assumed tacitly , at least , In this country , that woman was the whole thine In the home , and that a man merely existed lu the bumble role of bill-payer. Every man has , at times , dreams of possessing a room exclusive ly his own lu his own house , where he may spill ashes on the carpet and leave books on the lloor , and put his feet on the sofa" cushions and other wise enjoy himself after his own Ideas , Instead of In accordance with his wife's. Alas , It Is merely a pipe vis- lou. lie may lit him up a den or n snuggery , or whatever be chooses to call it , > but bis wlfo Inevitably lluds It just the place for her Hewing machine , or that It has a sunny window that suits the baby , or Is a good situation for her writing desL- , , and before he knows It the man to ousted. No man lias any rights lu his own house that anybody feels ought to be respected. , So far as the management of the home Is concerned the average man , In the average family , Is also an un- consulled figure-head. In other coun tries the husband ami father's posltiou established the social status of his womankind , lu this the women of the household establish bis. They do the entertaining. They decide on who Is to be lnvl % d , and , who loft out , and many a uiaii lluds himself the greatest stranger , and the least at hoine person present in his own drawing room. lie nny be ijuiet and domestic in bis astes , with an unalterable prejudice gainst balls , with a deadly loathing f long-course dinners , but that cuts no i guru In the extent of entertainments bat "mother and the girls give" if hey have a hankering after the flesh mts of society.

Why Girl * Cniuint Throw. A great deal of fun is poked at girls because they cannot throw a stone or a snowball and bit the person or thing they are aiming at. The general Idea HP to why girls cannot throw as well as boys 1- , that they have not acquired the knack by practice as tliolr broth ers have. Another explanation is giv en by a medical man which tends to Show that girls could never lonrn the knack , however much they tried. When a boy throws a stone , lie crooks Irjs el bow and roaches back with his fore arm , and in the act of throwing he works every , Joint from .shoulder to' ' wrist. The- girl throws with her whole arm rigid , whereas the boy's arm is ; relaxed. ' The reason of this difference Is one- of anatomy. The feminine collar bone is longer and Is set lower ( ban In the case of a male. The long , crooked , awkward bone interferes with the free use of the arm. This is the reason that girls cannot throw well. Pon't Want to Advcrti r Kl'inr. Miss Abigail M. Robertson , a bounti ful brunette , IS years old , of Itochus- : er , N.

Wo moan don't marry the young man who leaves his mother to flml her way borne as best she can on a dark night , while vylthout a thought or a word of apology , be looks after you. One of these days when the novelty has worn off , ho will leave you lo to ulouo ua best you can while ho seeks his solflsb enjoyment at the club. Don't marry a man who curls a scornful lip when religion and the Bible are spoken of , and who has all the ml * , takes of Moses and the misdeeds of Solomon at his tongue's end. A copy of Infidel lectures on the pnrlor table Instead of the family Bible Is a very poor guarantee of happy family life.

Don't marry a man \\lion bis linen Is more spotless than bis character , whose shirt collar Is more Inflexible than his Integrity , and whoso necktla Is the only Immaculate thing about him. Collars and cuffs and necktlca are all very well , but they do not make up n good husband , though they do- very well for n tailor's dummy. Integ rity of character Is more Important than all these. Exchange. Itivndcloths are still used for shlrff waists , but women who prefer a light er fabric are wearing waists of very line ladles' cloth and embroidered cashmere - more and hiiisdowuo. The popular polka dot lu black and white Is the leading design in the embroidered cash meres , ami the lleur de Us in lans- downe. Shirt waists , tailor made , and- of the pale tints In very fine ladies' cloth , will be extremely stylish to wear under jacket coats. Holts are either very narrow or els deep , drawn down lute a point In front , which Is becoming to the figure. Great attention Is given to the small details of the toilette cravnttes , collars , vests , and etceteras , exquisite , workmanship and finish being bestowed ou every item. Buttons are a great feature oo dresses and mantles ; the majority ar * large and quaint , In gold , silver , enamel , or mother-of-pearl ; others- are minute and dainty. For outdoor garments , wrought Iron and oxydizeiJ silver are largely used. What home dressmaker hasn't wor T ried herself almost iuto nervous pros- ' ( ration over setting the sleeves Into o- bodice ? They just wouldn't come right. If the sleeve drew too lightly over the arms at the first attempt , It twisted all out of shape when laborious ly taken out and put in again , o that the wearer would have to turn herself Into a human corkscrew to get Into it. If the latter defect developed tlrst tb ® othei followed with a sureness and reg ularity unbeatitifully suggestive of clock work. Sure avoidance comes from follow ing Hits simple rule : Place the Inside .seam of the sleeve from an inch and a half to two inches forward of ( no waist's uuder-arm seam. The exact distance depends on the size of the- wearer of the bodice , aul as ( he di mensions given are , respectively- ; a small and for a large woman , It CMII be determined very rcadjly. The rule applies generally from calico to siltlu. from Infant's robe to bride's gown , and the result will be as satisfactory as could be gotten from the highest-priced dressmaker. i-'ntniner Curtain * . Hutllcd curtains , while entirely super seded by the heavy Arabian Iace-cdge& kind , with heavy Brussels net backs , as a whiter window drapery , are still preferred for summer use , and iu puro- wldtc , too.
