The greater part of them persist in their endeavor. Shades of the prison-house , " wrote Wordsworth , figuratively , "begiu to dose upon the growing boy. " Mrs. Booth's open door to reform well il lustrates modern philanthropy as , con trasted with the older theorizing. ' Many a man who Is summoned as a uror magnifies the strength of his opinion for the sake of avoiding jury jpervice and others , too conscientious to shirk a duty , do the same thing in .order that there may be no mistake as to their fitness. Consequently , ir not Infrequently happens that the bust qualified men are excused from the Jury box , while those too ignorant to understand th significance of testi mony or too indifferent to be really trustworthy take 'their places. A Congress is officially known by i Its number ; the present is the fifty- ' seventh. It is becoming a common ' practice to designate them as the "first ; Crisp , " the "third Reed. " O the "sec ond Ilendersou , " which would be the every-day designation of this one. Oc casionally a Congress is nicknamed for some distinguishing accomplishment , . ' or by some fault alleged against it by the opposition , as the "Billion-Dollar ' Congress" of twelve years ago. The ' practice of nicknaming a legislative body has many examples in early En glish parliamentary history. The list Includes the "Lack-Learning" Parlia ment , the "Long. " which became the "Bump , " and was followed by "Bare- bones' " Parliament among others. Alfred Mosely , a wwilihy English- man , who has spent some time in this j \ country , says American boys are j j brighter than English boys and Pug- j ] gests that a commission be appointed j { to come over to .thiscountry .and look j Into the training and education that American boys receive. Mr. Mosely doubtless speaks of the American boy I tn. the mass. There are exceptions. As i a rule , however , the American boy is j the brightest boy on earth. He comes by it naturally. He can't help it. He j < was bora so. And then in addition to j * heredity his environment makes him I ( ambitious. He wants to got on in the ' * world. The English boy Is born to I 1 "place. " If of the lower classes he ° must tip his hat fo his superiors. It c he doesn't actually tip his hat. as was T the custom of former times , especially In the agricultural districts , he Jives In an atmosphere of servility. If the English boy is born to aristocracy he i t is educated to hol.i his place in .society c and it his amb'tiou consumes in donig j u so. The difference between the En- : j v Hsh and tlie American boy is to be found in the difference between the English society and that of America. Equality working through generations has made the American boy what he Is. If woman Is to'attain her complete ta fcfefs century vre see ; no reason why she should adhere to tt old-time practice of waiting for matr monlal propositions from the oppusi ! sex. If a woman finds what she is di : posed to regard as a nuptial bargai why shouldn't she make an offer for it After nineteen centuries of progres " " why should she be subject to" man fientimeutal spasms and caprices These questions are answered by RPI Charles L. Kloss , pastor of a Congregi tlonal Church In Webster Groves , Mi Cupid has not been attending to bus nesa in Webster Groves. Out of CO members of Rev. Mr. Kloss' congregi tlon tbeer were only a dozen marriage solemnized last year. Rev. Mr. Klos is disposed to blame the women fo the prevailing dullness in nuptial al fairs. If It had been the custom fo women to propose such a condition q affairs could not have existed. At leas -a hundred of the women of the cburc ! would have closed some sort of a raai rimonlal bargain during the year. I women are to become "men's economi equals" they should do the proposin ; themselves , says Rev. Mr. Kloss. II argues that inasmuch as women now adays do not let men propose until thej are ready there is no reason why the ; should not have and exercise the sann right of proposing as men. The argu ment of Rev. Mr. Kloss Is sound. Tin timidity of man has filled the work with spinsters. He is not only timic but engrossed In the strenuous struggli for wealth. If a woman conceives i liking for him and dosire to take hin for her lawful husband she should no be restrained by the foolish customs ol the past from putting a propositioi looking to a matrimonial compact it such shape that it may be favorably considered. This is an age of stupendous engi neering works. An end seems to have come tu the construction of great trunk lines of railway upon the better known continents. America. Europe and Asia have been spanned : but the "Cape to Cairo" railway is projected for Africa , and the "Pan-American" line for Central and South America. Meanwhile enterprises of startling magnitude are in progress or are planned for opening lines of commu nication by digging through the sur face of the earth , or by tunneling be neath the surface. The great Man chester ship-canal , the German gov- irnmeut canal between the North Sea ind the Baltic , and the Chicago drain- ge canal are finished. Two tunnels ilready pierce the Alps , and a third vlll soon be opened. The rapid transit : unnei through New York City from ; nd to end is under rapid construction. Due Isthmian canal awaits the action > f Congress , which is sure to be fa- orable. and In a few years an artl- icial waterway will separate the con- inents of North and South America. Che latest scheme , brilliant in coiicep- lon and almost unexampled in the dif- icu ties to be encountered , is the con- truciiou of a double railroad tunnel rom New Jersey beneath the Hudson liver and beneath the streets of New fork to a huge central station , there o divide into three tunnels t < pass uu- er the East River to Brooklyn. When his great enterprise shall have been nished a passenger may take his seat j a palace-car at Brooklyn , and not light from the train until the car oik into San Francisco. Forty mil- 011 dollars to be spent by a private orporaiiou ; five years of time fur con- tructiun ; au underground station in few York City little le s than a third f a mile long and having two miles f tracks ; a steel tube nearly nineteen > et in diameter , driven through the md of the Hudson River bed. eighty ? et below high-water mark , and rest- ig on steel pillars going down one undred feet to hard pan ; all trains to _ operated by electriciii'-these are mie of the wonders of the great mi staking. In our day such huge en- j srprises as this excite far less sur- j ise and attract much le s attention ' ian were bestowed in former times on I orks that are now every-day occur- j nces. Probably the limit has not ! en reached. The next generation i ay see France. England and Ireland .

S Sandwiches. These are not to be made by a recipe which once appeared for them : "Boil fresh eggs five minutes ; peel ; take a lit tle white off from each end ; cut the rest in four slices , and put between bread and butter. " That compound would be but little better than the egg in its natural state. Hard-boiled eggs , for any purpose , should be cooked in water just below the boiling point not less than twenty minutes ; then the rolk , instead of being tough , will be soft and mealy. To make sandwiches , use eggs thus boiled ; chop flue ; add a tea- spoonful of butter for each egg , and salt and pepper to season ; mix well to gether. The butter In the mixture holds it together when cold. Spread on slices of butetred bread , and put them to- rether. A little chopped ham may be .uixed with the egg fur a variety. Cheese Calces. Put a pint of milk on to boll , beat four eggs light and stir into the milk ; when it is a thick curd remove from the lire and when cool mash it very fine ; add to it four ounces of bread crumbs. Beat to a cream half a pound of butter and half a pound of sugar. add the curds and bread : beat four eggs until very thick and light and puur them into this mixture ; then add gradually one table-spoonful of sherry and one of brandy and one of rose wa ter and a teaspoonful of cinnamon. and lastly a quarter of a pound of cur rants well washed. Line either pie plates or shallow cake pans with pull' paste , pour in the mixture and bake in a quick oven.

TO BE A PUPULAR HOSTESS. lot of a would-be unlversall THE hostess is by no meat ] a happy one In society , for tL snare of the pitfalls spread on ever side for the unwary entertainer is 1 < gion. In trying to avoid Scyllu sh straightway encounters Charybdis. an unless she has the tact of a diploma the patience of . - saint and the onerg of a general , she will never win her wa , to the desired goal of her ambition. I she tries to satisfy the select few , sh offends the many while to recoguiz the many is hopelessly to alienate tli few , who refuse to attend her function on the ground that they are too mixet On the other hand , those very peopl for whom she has sacrificed her smar friends ungratefully criticise her effort for the reason that the select few ar not present. Mr. Nobody , for Instance , who re ceives an Invitation to dine with th Tiptops feels flattered at first , bu when he gets to the dinner and find that the smart ones are conspicuous b : their absence he feels anything bu grateful to the Tiptops , who wouh have done much better not to hav < asked him at all. "Who was there ? ' he exclaims wrathfully. "Why , jus the people that they thought they ough to be kind to. It was a most obvious case of the highways and byways. 1 consider such invitations an insult ! " The dinner dance , which has become such an 'institution of late years , where' by society leaders ha\e succeeded somewhat in curtailing the number ot their guests , should be most tactfully managed. Many hoslesses seem to go on the principle that half a loaf is bet ter than none , and invite in afterward those whom they do not wish to ask to the preliminary dinner. This is a fatal mistake , which no woman who wishes to be considered popular should ever commit She should make the din ner large enough to have enough dancers , and If she wishes to include every one she should give a second or third dinner dance. If not , she should never try to patch up wounded feelings by an invitation which is obviously not a complimentary one. There is a very plain rule to observe in such cases. New York Tribune. How Women Should Stand. Women who have formed the habit of standing in a bent back-burdened at titude exaggerate this bad position of the body when they walk especially if there is a sense of "hurry" in the brain. Cannot every woman who reads these lines call up the mental picture of some neighbor hurrying in a sort of dog-trot gait , about her work with a body bent forward nearly one-third from the upright , the head and shoul ders being quite in advance of the rest of the body , as if tLe legs could nut , or would not , go fast enough for the impatient brain and body ? This is the "haste that makes waste. " Such a position means stralnng und enfee bling the poor back , and it means in terference with breathing , circulation and digestion. It is courting heaviness of movement , heaviness 01'spirit , and oldness of body. It announces that the woman Is not master of her work ; rather her work masters and drives her. Now , vve all must acknowledge that this is wrong. A woman uith much depending upon her should , first of all , be able wisely to direct her body in her work , and. second , not to let her work o\vu her , aowever much it may be in quantity , rt'hen one is well-poised , free and buoy- int in bodily movement , one can walk apidly. or even run. while doing one's ivork and suffer none of the exhaust- ve effects that always attend the spirit of hurry. An Arab proverb well ) uts it that "Hurry is the devil. " Shall ve not keep ourselves secure and free rom his malign influence ? Martha Tan Rensselaer , in Chautatiqunn Mag- ' tzine. j True Sympathy with Children. There are many conscientious fathers Lnd mothers who make themselves and heir children miserable by taking outhful foibles too seriously. It is an unate propensity of a child possessed f average good health and spirit to iiake older people laugh with him ; not it him , but at the things that seem imusing to his own sense. And the uother who has the blithe and ready itimor to enter into his fun becomes lis most fascinating companion. He leeds her rebukes and bends to her jorrection without ill feeling , where iternnesswould arouse his pride and , re , for he Is assured that she is ready ! o share nil his innocent pranks , and hat her disapproval has no foundation ' u impatience or injustice. And when he day arrives that "childish things ire put away. " and tlie grown men and vomen look backward to their early iome , with what a throb of pleasure hey say , when things happen. "Moth- > r would appreciate this ; she had the i [ Uickest sense of humor of any woman , oa ever saw ! " And underneath these iglit words is the thought. "How hap- : iy that dear mother made me. and how j love her ! " Florence Hull Winterj j urn. in Woman's Home Companion. ' The Care of Palms. j About all our palms require is that j 11 dust be kept off the foliage. This ' 3 of the utmost importance , as palms ositively refuse to do well otherwise. I ! ee that they have moisture supplied 3 the roots as needed , which in spring nd summer should be about erery ay. In fall and winter they only moderate watering. They can t grown from seed , but It Is alow wor and it Is better to get those alread started. Tlie scale Insect is their won enemy. A wash of dilute alcohol wi kill it , but must be washed off we afterward. A wash of weak lye soa Is the best preventive , but , like alcoho must be well riH * d off at once. Go a over the plant and leave no spot m touched with the so.ip. Palms shoul have a soil composed of good garde soil , leaf and mold , rotted cow maiiur and sand , one-half of garden soil an the other half equal parts of the resi The roots grow downward , consequent ly they require a deep pot. Put In pot just large enough to supply the' wants , make the soil light and linn arrange for good dr-Unnge. and phu- the crown so it will be just above th soil. Good Housekeeping. When a Woman Lse.Powder , Most women i sy powder on thei fri'--s ' nowadays ami it Is well that the ; know the best way. It is hardly wort ! while to tro Into the matter of the pos sible injury that powder may do thi skin. .Much is said for and against It Its advocates claim that It is better fo the pores of the skin to be filled witl clean white pow.ler than with the dus of the streets. The best met "jl of applying powdei is by means of , - jb.sorbentotton. . Tin cotton should h.dipj.fd -n the powdei and dusted ovuthe face , covering ev ery part. Then it should be rubbed in thoroughly with the hand. Then the face should be wiped off lightly with a soft cloth. Powder should never be permitted to remain on the face over night. It should be washed off and the skin massaged with cold cream. By this method it Is claimed that the skin is not injured. Pure powder is the first requisite. Many of the expensive powders are harmful. A pure vegeta ble powder should be sought , or even corustarch or rice powder. They cannot harm the complexion. Childrep Happy. Our quiet hours with our children should first of all be cheerful hours. Sydney Smith has said : "If you make children happy now , you make them happy twenty years hence by the mem ory of it. " I believe this to be quite true. We should make the hours with our children full of joy , then twenty years from now we , too. can recall how happy they were , how we heard their merry voices and watched them play , and we can look with pride on our chil dren whom we loved and who wei.t to "Grown-up land. " Then , tpo. the quiet hours with our children should be lov ing hours. How much the small touch es of a mother's love means to the child ! Even If it Is only to whisper to your son as he starts to school. ' Re member. mother is thinking about you all day and expecting you lo be a good boy , " how much better the effect of such a farewell than to hurry him away with some sharp and nervous re buke.
