' Connecticut by an act of the last
legislature prohibits the sale In that
State of shares in mining and oil cor

such corporations have filed with the
secretary of State a sworn statement
regarding the location and financial
and physical condition of the property
and the amount of cash expended
thereon. A fee of $25 must accom
pany the statement This law pro
ceeds upon the assumption that a min

jnjust assumption , either. Legitimate
enterprises of the kind will probably
regard it with decided favor.
It is probably true that most large

the reformatory aspect of the crimi

stripped of its terrors. The hypothe

bear a good deal of examination at the

That old volcano of our boyhood
recollections , Popocatapetl , Is for sale
at $5,000,000. Whether this is a bar
gain price or not the advertisement
doesn't state , but It sounds fairly rea
sonable. The volcano is certainly one
of the leading curiosities of the world ,
but it might be well before countIng -
Ing out the money to ascertain if there
Is any danger that the neighbors
might proceed against you for encour
aging a nuisance. Anyway , there may
be millionaires with no need of cash
lying around loose who would consid
er a volcano a desirable thing , and
there is no doubt that would give
the purchaser a good deal of reputa
tion as a connoisseur In brlc-a-brac.
And wouldn't It be an Ideal place fern

One of the curious things about the
cigarette Is that the more It Is at
tacked the more it is used. It has no
frk-ntls , and yet it flourishes. The
endless chain for the purpose of ob
taining 1,000,000 signatures to a pe
tition to Congress asking for antl-clg-
arette legislation is on * of the latest
devices of the enemies of the "coffin
nail , " as it is called , and we would
be willing to wager that nearly ev
ery woman in the land , all other non-
dud many slaves to tobacco
would sign it , but we have no confl
deuce that the cigarette will be abel
ished. Americans smoked or paid fo
3,254,883,330 cigarettes during the lasl
fiscal year , an Increase of 357,213,40 !
: In a single year. We used 337,840,60 , '

The principal complaint against thv
schools and universities has been thai
they tended to augment the alreadj
overcrowded "professions" ; that tbej
gave prominence in their curricula t <
the studies that were calculated tc
equip men for the so-called polite pur
suits of life. As a result there cama
from the college doors every June a
small army of doctors , lawyers , preach
ers and writers. There are hopeful
indications , however , of a tendency
on the part of the colleges and uni
versities to meet the demand for edu
cated men In the various lines of com
mercial and industrial endeavor , whicl
modern conditions have created. There
is gradual and more adequate recogni
tion of the fact that the so-called "pro
fessions" are already overcrowded and
that the great demand of our times is
for trained commercial and scientific
men , for men who can take the places
of the self-educated and self-made men
who built up great industrial and com
mercial enterprises. Dean James H
Tufts , of the University of Chicago ,
in his address to a graduating class
declared that in most classes to-daj
fully three-fourths of the men grad
uating intend to enter commercial pur
suits instead of the professions.
Twenty years ago one-third of the men
in the graduating classes of the col
lege became teachers , one-fourth 01
one-fifth entered the ministry and no !
more than one-fourth went into busiC
ness , said Dean Tufts. There are not
enough patients for all the doctors and
not enough clients for all the lawyers
It is time the universities were turn
ing out men to take the places of th
great builders , merchants and produc
ers of our time.

TIMELY CALLING.
How ihe P.n tor t-nvetl a Life.
A man near Fort Gay , W. Va. , made
entire failure in getting strength
from the kind of food he ate , and not
knowing that the trouble was with the
food kept on losing health until the
lectors gave him up to die.
It was supposed to be consumption
because he was wasting away stead-
and slowly dying. His minister
ailed from time to time and one day
brought along a package of Grape-
Xuts , thinking from what he knew of
Ihe famous food that perhaps it might
help him. The sick man took to it at
once , and from that day began to get
well. In writing he says :
"I walked to town to-day 3 miles.
Have gained over 40 pounds iu about
two months and my neighbors don't
knoiv what to say. I frequently am
told itvas as if I am raised from the
dead. Everybody here knows of my
case ; you can tell people to write to
Postmaster or Rev. L. D. Bryan.
will make a sworn statement that
Grape-Nuts saved my life. " Name
given by Tostuin Co. , Battle Creek ,
Mich.
This Is another illustration that
where all other food fails one can be
brought back to health and strength ? i

Women as Citizens.
The Idea of woman.ns a citizen is
lirectly derived from the English dis
covery of citizenship based on rights ,
rather than on force , and the concep
tion of law as the total of the separate
rights of all the individuals in a com
munity ; their Individual rights and
duties collectively stated.
If we fully admit the idea of woman
RS a citizen , by right , and not merely
through toleration , we come at once
to the most interesting of all questions :
the inherent likeness or unlikeness of
the intellectual life of the two sexes.
Are women , as Tennyson said , only
"weaker men , " whose passions , and ,
presumably , whose intellects , are to
ours "as moonlight unto suulight , and
as water unto wine ? " Or are they , as
is sometimes maintained , really the
stronger ( sex , especially in the moral
qualities ? Or , to take a third possibil
ity , are they essentially different dif
ferent , for Instance , as poetry is dif
ferent from algebra ; so that it becomes
absurd to say either that poetry is
better than algebra or that algebra Is
better than poetry.
We have here , perhaps , a genuine
clue. To put this in a concrete way :
man's mind intellectually conceives the
Idea of a house , and makes an abstract
plan of it , as architect ; this is the in
tellect , the first of our three groups of
powers. Again , men do the actual
building , the matter of bricks and
mortar , the grappling with the sheer
nature forces. Thus the man builds
the house. But woman makes the
home.
The difference between a house and
a home is the added psychic element.
It Is a matter of feeling ; yet here feelIng -
Ing , we will all admit , is the vital
matter.
This is merely a simile. We have
not used it to arrive at the platitude
that "woman's sphere is the home. "
and that , consequently , she should
keep out of politics. On the contrary ,
we hold , and by this instance sought
to illustrate , that into every completed
work of humanity all three elements
should enter the intellectual or spirit
ual ; the element of concrete feeling or
.
psychic ; and the material and physical ;
and that in general , men will supply
the first and the third , while women
will , supply the second. Harper's
Weekly.
Spinsters nnrl Matrimony.
That she should be censured for layIng -
Ing claim to what is truly hers seems
unkind and irrational a tyranny of
opinion. Marriage Is a delightful i
thing : but it is not and never can be ,
a duty ; nor is It as a duty that men
and women have hitherto zealously
practiced it The outcry against celi
bacy as a "great social disease" is
louder than the situation warrants. It
Is i ! the echo of an older protest against
the deferring of the inevitable wedding
day ; against the perverse "boggling at
every object" which Burton found so
exasperating a trait in youth , and
which La Bruyere calmly and conclu
sively condemns. "There Is , " says the
French moralist , 'a time when even
the richest women ought to marry.
They cannot allow their youthful
charms to escape them , without the
fr
risk of a long repentance. The import
ance ! of their reputed wealth seems to
diminish with their beauty. A young
woman , on the contrary , has everything
tV
thing in her favor ; and if , added to
youth , she possesses other advantages ,
I
she is so much the more desirable. "
This is the simplest possible exposi
tion of the masculine point of view. It
Is plain that nothing is farther from La
Bruyere's miud than the possibility of
a lifelong spinsterhood for even the
most procrastinating heiress. He mere
ly points out that it would be more
reasonable in her to permit a husband
to enjoy her youth and her wealth
simultaneously. Agnes Repplier , In

no longer the smart thing to decorate
