A generation ago t.o be all idenl housekeeper was the chief auubi tiou of almost every woman , says the PC01'iu lleruld-'l'I'ullHcripl. No girl desired a fairer fate than to be placed at the head ofa hotH\ ( ' . hold with a good and loving httx- baud to supply all her wants and make her the mistress and the queen of his heart and his home. In most cases thc girl who started , housekeeping hud more 01' less experience . peril'nee in the art minder the tui lion of her mother. She loved to decorate und beautify the house which was to bc her home during thc rest of her earthly pilgrimage. } ) 'he loved to create delicacies for her husband and her children , and , disguise it as we mar ; , much of the affection she received was due entirely . th'ely to her skill as n homemalwl' \Vlwu her children grew tip ] around ; her this kind and sympathetic . tlH'ti mother were the < < chief attractions - tractions in their world. As they grew older the tics only grew the stronger. 'YIH'n they ; acquired fnmilies of their own the old homestead ! - stead , with its abulIdauCoe of good things , still had attractions for them. The kind old mother was still their best friend. She knew nIl the diflh'ulties they had to encounter in starting homes of their own , and her advice und sym- pathy were worth more to them thap : gold. They looked upon her as' l 'a sort of venerable goddess , and when she finally went away from thc home circle } she left a ya- ancy which could never be filled. But we arc assured with every . symptom of rejoicing that these conditions are passing ; that wom. m have been emancipated ; that in thc future they " are to be the rival instead of the helpmate , of man , and that they must' combine to enforce . force their just demands against the hostility of the male sex. This is nonsense pine } and simple. It may be true that there are more mannish women in this generation . ion t than there were in the last. It is unfortunately true that a larger proportion of the female } population ! has becn forced to be lf-supp01'tin < < , hut it is not true hat t women enjoy the so.cal1l'd "liberty" which goes with toiling for r a Jiving. . WAS THIS MAN HONORABLE ? Tried to Beat Express Company , But Lost by Tran saction. Now that the Mary Ann problem - lem has been disposed of let me tell you of an actual case which came within mJ' knowledge several - al years ago , says the Brooklyn iagle ; These were the facts : A wealth , and close-fisted banker in a certain Illinois city was Hccue- omcd t to sending ' ' . currency bJ' express press to his e01'r < 'spondcllt hank ) in Chicago. Sonwhow the express agent got a suspicion that the banker wais saying expressage by Bending larger sums than he pretended - tended , so one day when } the bunker - er brought in a package } which be said contained $ , a.ooo the auant w.

Up to this time the agent had , . acted faithfully' in the interest of his company , but now a gaeitlon arose iu his mind as to who I'igbt. fully owns thc remaining $ 5,000. , Never mind what he actually ! ti did with it. , ' 1'1H' question iA ? , dear reader , what would you have do . . , with It , and why ? ° His Deduction She -I understand his wife 'I I speal six lauguu.I-'es.
