VEILED LADIES. W'Three Men Who Won Literary Laurell Under Feminine Name& -One of the most famous cases Of I man writer winning fame under a wo man's name was that of the late Wil liam Sharp. who kept his identity witi "Fiona Macleod" a close secret durini his life, and it was only after hi. death that the public was mad( aware that "her" remarkable novell were the work of the well known criti< pnd essayist. Their style seemed sc characteristically feminine that ever - the most astute critics believed thal they were written by a woman's hand Another famous writer. Laurence k Housman. known already as a Poe and artist, made a third and most suc - essful appearance before the public as a "veiled la'dy." A remarkable bool appeared entitled "An Englishwoman's Love Letters," which all the critics praised and all the clubs and 1lterarv circles talked about. Who was this woman who had laid her heart bare! The critics agreed that. whoever she was, she understood her sex to perfec tion. The secret, was kept very close for a time, and then, to everybody's immense amazement. the real author was revealed as a man after all. Very few people probably will recall the undoubted fact that one of the greatest of Victorian poets. Algernon Charles Swinburne. hid his identity oc casionally under the very matter of fact feminine nom de plume of "Mrs. Horace Manners." while another and much beloved singer on the other side of the Atlantic. the charming Quaker poet, John Gr-eenleaf Whittier. used frequently as a pen name the unro mantie one of -Margaret Smith."

No matter how many girls spurn housework, homes will still exist No matter how many women slink dis . ccuraged into botels and boarding houses, the best of families will al ways live in separate homes. No mat ter bow many men remain unmarried, the majority will always have wives and children. The millennium itself will not be without the family. Hotels and boarding houses, even. are merely megatherianized homes, and no matter how much sensible co operation in washing and sewing, cook - ing and the care of children and sick folk. may be compassed. even those millennarians will still have beds to be made, Doors to be swept doors to be .tended, clothes to be sorted, buttons to be sewed on, papers to be burned, dishes to be washed. errands to be run and windows to be locked. Folks may live without concerts and trolley cars and books, but they cannot live without sleeping, dressing and eat - Ing, sickness, visitors and children, nor can they live without that perpetual disorder that has to be perpetuaUy cleared up, and that perpetual disin tegration of the material universe which has to be perpetually swept up. Domestic work there will always be.

The idea of the mastership of man over woman has changed to the idea of equal partnership and right between man and wife. and the loftiest type of family life that I know is in the homes where that equality is accepted as a matter of course. Votes for women will not eure all evils. If I thought that I'd take 'em away from auwn. But in no state where suffrage has been tried has it done daimage, and in ev ery state it has bettered social and industrial conditions. All the arguments against it are du plicated in the arguments against manhood suffrage a century ago. Our democracy is based on the theory that the average man shall be the controlling factor in the government. Our whole ef fort is toward that. We have made the average man the mas ter.

Let me come in where you sit weepling-aye, Let me. who have not any child to die, Weep with you for the little one whose love I have known nothing of. The little arms that slowly, slow ly loosed Their pressure round your neck, the hands you used To kiss-such arms, such hands 1 never knew. May I not weep with you? Fain would I be of service-say something Between the tears that would be comforting But, ah, so sadder than your selves am I Who have no little child to die! -James Whitcomb Riley. TEACHING YOUTH. Instruction is the means to ex pel rudeness. with which young wits ought to be well furnished in schools, but so as that their teaching be-1, truth; 2, full; 3. clear; 4, solid. 1. It will be true if nothing be taught but such as is bene ficial to one's life, lest there be a cause of complaining after ward. We know not necessary things because we have not learned things necessary. 2. It will be full If the mind be polished for wisdom, the tongue for eloquence and the hands for a neat way of 'living. This will be that grace of one's life-to be wise, to act, to speak. 3, 4. It will be clear, and by that firm and solid, If whatever is taught and learned be not ob scure or confused, but apparent, distinct and articulate as the fin gers on the hands.-JOhanni Amos Comenius. BE STEADFAST. Let nothing make thee sad or fretful Or too regretful. Be still. What God has ordered must be right. Then find It in thine own delight, My will. Why shouldst thou fill today with sorrow About tomorrow, My heart? One watches all with care most true. Doubt not that he will give thee, too, Thy part. Only be steadfast Never waver Nor seek earth's favor, But rest. Thou knowest what God wills must be For'all his creatures, so for thee, The best. -Paul Fleming. SYDNEY SMITH'S HUMOR.

It is easy to decry the folly of race prejudices. But we are not all philosophers. And it is too harsh to blame only the Californians for their dislike of aenies differ ent in race. The Greeks and Itomans, the IlIebrws and In dus, the Chinese and Japanese, even the Teutons and the Anglo Saxons. have during their his tory often shown a disposition to reg:rd themselves as the only chosen sons of'God. and to place other races under the ban .of "barbarians" or "inferiors." Nor do I Ignoro the indisputable fact of an inequality existing among races, as there is such an in equality among human beings of the same race.

Strive, yet I do not promise The prize you dream of today Will not fade when you think to grasp it And melt in your hand away, But another and holier treasure You would now perchance dis dain Will come when your toil is over And pay you for all your pain. Wait, yet I do not tell you The hour you long for now Will not come, with its radiance vanished And a shadow upon its brow. Yet far through the misty fu ture, With a crown of starry light, An hour of joy you know not Is winging her silent flight. -Adelaide A. Procter. DRESS AND MANNERS. Good manners to those one does not love are no more a breach of truth than "your hum be servant" at the bottom of a challenge is. They are univer sally agreed upon and under stood to be things of course. Any affectation whatsoever in dress implies in my mind a flaw in the understanding. Dress yourself fine where oth ers ar-e fine and plain where oth ers arec plain, but take care al ways that your clothes are well made and fit you, for otherwise they will give you a very awk ward air. Good manners are to particular societies what good morals are to society in general-their ce ment and their security.-Lord Chesterfld. CONFUCIAN MAXIMS.
