They are comprehensive and deal with almost every emergency pos sible in married life. Though they would scarcely be regarded with fa vor by most wives of to day, they were doubtless accepted with proper humility by some of these wives' grandmothers and great-grandmothers: "When a young gentleman makes you an offer hold yourself flattered by his preference and proportionate ly grateful. "If you accept him (which we will suppose, of course), study his temper and inclinations that you may better accommodate your own to them. "After marriage obey him cheer fully, even though you think him in error; it is better that ne snouia ao wrong iu what he commands than that you should do wrong in object ing to it. "If he flatters you do not forget that it is but flattery; thiok lowly of yourself and highly of him, or at least make him believe so. "Bear in mind continually that you are weak and dependent, an even if you are beautiful that it adds to your weakness and dependence. "If you displease him be the first to ?onciliate and to mend; there is no degradation in seeking peace or in showing that you love your husband better than your triumph. "When you rise in the morning re solve to be cheerful for the day; let your smiles dispel his frowns. "Endeavor to save rather than to spend your husband's money; if his fortune be large, strive to preserve it; if small, to increase it. "Be not importunate or obtrusive in your fondness and choose proper occasions for your caresses lest they prove wearisome. "Your sex is most exposed to suf fering because it is always in de pendence; be neither angry nor ashamed of this dependence on a husband, nor of any of those which are in the proper order of Provi dence. "Finally, recollect always that God has made you subject, to him and that he is your natural guardian and protector; that you owe your husband not less honor than love aud not less love than obedience." Quite in harmony with these Rules To Be Observed by Wives" are the terms 01 uisappruuuuuu iu which a New York magazine of a few years later comments upon a scheme afoot in Boston for the establishment of a "Ladies' Reading Room." "It is contemplated to establish a ladies' reading room in Boston. We shall not wish our brethren of 'Ath ens' joy or the success of the scheme. It has to us a most unfeminine and untoward aspect. What! remove our wives, mothers and sisters, even in the hours they devote to intellectual recreation, from their proper sphere and circle at home? What becomes, then, of the domestic duties and the endearing ties which bind our rough er sex to the fireside, lighted up more by the animated smiles of the beings which welcome us there than ., a r U .nc even me intense names ui ure iuuou brilliant Lehigh?

The immense wealth now concen trated in the hands of a few families, in conjunction with the desire of the many less favored ones to vie with those more fortunate, has set the standard of luxurious requirement so high in New York that the home as it is remembered by so many of us is almost disestablished. It was a separate domicile, set in an ample yard, not to say grounds, from whic all strangers were excluded ex cept as invited and temporary guests. Now it only exists, in a metropo lis, for the very rich. The great mansions of the city's less populous days are utilized to accommodate boarders by those who have narrow incomes. In the crowded cities these are the refuge of people of moderate means to some extent, but more fre quently apartment houses have grown up as more like a home, and families are found in greater num bers there. In these caravansaries people are crowded into a few rooms, and of necessity they and their children are in a measure in terdependent upon the other occu pants. There is a certain comity among the lodgers, especially where the partitions are thin and the space very circumscribed, which enforces the duty upon each family to see to it that their neighbors are not dis disturbed or inconvenienced, and therefore the family must be quiet. A crying child, and generally an ill child does cry, will upset a whole floor full of ordinarily friendly, con siderate people. Consequently the landlord or janitor of the suite is sorely put about. When one enters the door of the department house, and generally in the more luxurious of them, the first question asked by the suave agents is: "Have you children in your family? We do not lease to families with children." Perhaps there is a placard on the door to save the proprietor trouble, announcing: "No children or dogs taken;" or if the children or lodged, "Children and dogs not allowed in the halls." The buildings can be filled easily with childless couples, they say, and tenants who have no children of their own do not want to be annoyed by those of other peo ple; besides, children are destruc tive to furniture, carpets and walls. In some of the poorer tenements, co pying the fashion of the better lodging houses, where there is a mis erable oilcloth only on the floor, one reads : "Children not allowed to play in this hall." Indeed, in many a home there is a sign invisible, but none the less prohibitory, "Children not wanted." Children, like tne lepers of old must keep aloof from every one ex cept their own family, and in many cases these find them burdensome. It is an awful charge to bring against modern civilization that it is not making proper provision for the coming generation. Once, in a sim ilar state of society, children were a precious possession prayed and longed for, a sacred trust, a God given well spring of joy and hope iu the home, but now they are to some extent considered a nuisance, an af fliction and to be avoided if possible, and if not, to be merely tolerated. The hotels reject them, so do the boarding houses and renting agents, and the rents demanded for a de tached entire house, taken in con junction with the increasing difficul ty of getting servants and the very high wages they command, seems to condemn the poor little Ishmaelites, whether their parents desire it or not, to a joyless future in the pent up apartments of lodgings. The economic objections to large families have prevailed so universal ly in France that now the govern ment is wrestling with the problem of a steady diminishing ratio of births to deaths. It is a melancholy fact that few large families are to be found in the great cities. The large families are gene rally the children of tho very poor. Theso unfortunates overflow outo the sidewalks, their only playground, and there they associate with all sorts and conditions of desolate "cabin-cribbed" children. They are sorely tempted by an example set them of filching from the little booths and stalls the cakes for which they long but cannot acquire hon estly, and gradually habits of theft are acquired and other evil ways "harden within and putrify the feeling.'" The children of the rich are too often o iven over to the charge and companionship, first of nurses aud then of governesses, as their ages may indicate. Is it possible or even reasonable to expect that these will look after the building up of the character of the children or the cul ture of their moral nature as a par ent would? The hereditary tenden cies of a child can only be known and appreciated by its "parents. Certainly the governess must work experimentally and in the dark, as well as without an enlightening love to guide her. I once asked an iusubordinate very small girl who was alone and crying hysterically on her father's stairway after she had got into an altercation with her gov erness, "Why are you not a good lit tle girl?" She sobbed out, "I cannot be good because she does not love me." This is the gravamen of a good many of the complaints children make without knowing the origin of their troubles. They do not associ ate with their mothers in an intimate way. I have been astonished when driv ing in Central Park to see so few children in the splendid equipages which roll by in endless succession. Very often there is a dog, sometimes one of considerable size, on the seat with the mistress, but very rarely a child. I do not know whether it is unfashionable to take children or whether it is considered better for their health to walk. I heard a bright, devoted girl one day say to her mother after being unavoidably separated for many years from her: "If my judgment had not approved of you after seeing so little of you in my childhood, I could not have loved you and been your friend as I am, for all sense of your motherhood had died out of my heart." Mr. Robert Dale Owen from Ris large experience in London and oth er crowded cities of the old w-orld came to the conclusion that children would thrive best isolated from their parents and collected together in ru ral hamlets, where they should be attended by nurses not of their own blood a kind of co operative incuba tive nursery. He thought the im provement of the coming race would be wonderful in a generation, but he was wrong, for a child must be nour ished by a personal love as well as by food, so his efforts failed, as all mere theories do. It is easy to coudemn remedial plans as unpractical, but alas, to formulate a practicable one is much more difficult. There is a certain virtue in having attempted, if in vain, to solve the problem. The pressure of congregated mil lions necessarily, if they all must live in the city, crowded into a limi ted space, is bringing about an un natural state of feeling in the hearts of the overburdened, hopeless poor. Every daily paper has among its ad vertisements: "A fine boy for adop tion; relinquishment entire." "A pretty baby girl, perfectly healthy, for adoption," aud so cn through the dreary items. It is not a supposable case that these mothers desire to part from their little ones, but the conditions of their lives are too tragic to admit of their aiding another mouth to those which cry for food. The persons employed in charit able work among the poor in New York city say that "the number of destitute and neglected children in New York city increases beyond the power of philanthropic and religious bodies to cope properly with their needs." "There is a steadily grow ing feeling among the poorer peo ple," these same authorities declare, "that the government is obliged to support their children. But their pareuts are not willing to relinquish the right to the producing capacity of their children. They want the state to relieve them of the cost of support while they are too young to produce anything, and return them when they are old enough to become wage-earners." These pareuts want to get rid of their children when they require at tention and support; when they are old and strong enough to work they are welcomed back. The child when it is a wage earner is a desirable fac tor, but not otherwise. The children of to-day are charac terized by wonderful mental and phy sical activity in proportion to their ages. This perhaps is the outcome of heredity from the strenuous life their parents have waged against want. People rise to the demands of their age, and the needs and de privations of the very poor iu a crowded citv are fast weeding out the feeble or diseased units among them, as none but the strongest sur vive. These seem to be given us a hardier, more alert race of children, who of course are only the more able for the perpetration of crime unless they be guarded when very young from the tempations of their environ ment. The plans of the much depreciated slaveholders in the south to promote the comfort and health of the little negroes under their charge might very well be studied with advantage to the wizened, careworn little white children of New York. Of course. their parents must go to their work in the fields, lhe children were COXTINCED OX SECOND PAOE. A Prominent Chicago Woman Speaks.

National Capital Matters. From Our Regular Correspondent. Washington, Jan. 15, 1901. Mr. McKinley has the grip, and if he is half as badly frightened as the leaders of his party are he is not to be envied. It isn't Mr. McKinley's present condition that has frightened the Republicans, but the possibili ties it calls to their minds. When Ted dy was given the second place on the ticket it was not with any idea that he would ever be President. That is why even Mr. McKinley's slight illness alarms them. They know the grip is treacherous. Some of the Senators worked themselves up into quite an angry mood during the debate on the "can teen" amendment of the Army bill which has been before the Senate all the week, and unparlimentary language has several times been used. It is a tempest in a teapot, which has been encouraged because the men responsible for the bill would rather have the "canteen" than the big standing army talked about. The Senate voted against the "canteen." The $00,000,000 River and Harbor bill was taken up by the House, and after a comparatively short debate passed without serious opposition. The "pork" was well distributed. Representative Otey, of Virginia, amused the House and at the same time told some plain truths concern ing the objects aimed at by the Olmsted and Shattuck resolutions for investigations of the suppression of suffrage in the South. He said : "The logical end of all such agita tions is negro domination in the South. It means the reinstallation of carpet bagger agents of the de mon of darkness and curruption. It means the coming of a buzzard glut toned with carrion. It means the descendants of those who thirty-five years ago, fastened their talohs in the prostrate body of the South, like those pitiless birds who fed upon the vitals of Prometheus when his helpless form was chained to a rock. Yes, it means the return of those buzzards, gluttoned with carrion that are to day following the calling of their diabolical daddies in Cuba, the Philippine Islands, and in Porto Rico, who exude such an odor that a mosquito shuns them. Yes, they are so mean that the yellow fever germs die in their presence. They are so loathsome that the small-pox microbes fly from them, and if a snake bites one of them it kills the nake. As for the Shattuck resolu tion, it seems that neither that nor the Olmsted resolution will pass. They will not pass until the fish- worm swallows the whale, not un til the snail outruns the hare, Dot until Dutchmen stop drinking beer, and not until the billy goat butts from the rear." Representative Champ Clark thus paid his respects to the I am-better- tban-thou element : "Yes, the mug wumps or jugwumps, as Sam Jones calls them, these fine-haired people who are too good to discharge their political duties. They stay at home idleness and the hoodlum dis charges not only his own political duty but that of the fine-haired citi zen," Senator Morgan's credentials for his fifth consecutive term were this week filed by Senator Pettus. Senator Morgan is one of the ablest men of a body that has many able members, and one of the rea sons for his prominence was well stated by the late Senator Davis when he said of Senator Morgan in a debate: "His memory and capacity to assimilate and store away all subjects are marvelous to contem plate." Solicitor General Richards made an open slur at ex-President Harri son, in his argument before the Su preme Court this week on the cases involving the constitutionality of Mr. KcKinley's Colonial policy, that disgusted many persons. Mr. Har rison is a private citizen who has held the highest position within the gift of the American people, and is entitled to respect, and it certainly was not respectful for Mr. Richards to refer to Mr. Harrison's recently expressed opininion in opposition to the McKinley policy in such lan guage as a distinguished lawyer and statesman affects to believe" etc. It was a gratuitous insult to Mr. Mr. Harrison, which shows how resentful the McKinleyites are to ward members of their own party who dare to oppose their imperial policy. It is not probable that Mr. Richards acted without the appro val of bis superiors in office, Attor ney-General Griggs and Mr. McKin ley. By the way, speaking of the Su preme Court, the .nomination of "Dick" Harlan, a son of Justice Har lan, who has been mentioned as en tertaining doubts of the constitu tionality of the McKinley colonial policy, if not actually believing it to be unconstitutional, to an important judicial position in Porto Rico.which is now before the Senate, has caused much talk, especially in view of the fact that Mr. McKinly refused to give "Dick" Harlan a judicial posi tion in the District of Columbia, for which he was an applicant. ALL OVER THE STATE. A Summary or Current Events for the Past Seven Days. Smallpox has again made its ap pearance in Alamance county. Durham on Monday voted to issue $200,000 of bonds for street improve ments and a sewer system. Salisbury aldermen have passed an ordinance requiring all dogs run ning at large in that town to wear muzzles. Raleigh aldermen have adopted an ordinance which prohibits expecto rating on the sidewalks. The pen alty is $1. W. W. Perkinson, an aged citizen of Durham, died suddenly Sunday. He was on his way to Sunday school when stricken. Jo. Green, who killed his wife in Granville county Christinas day, has been arrested. The murder is now said to have been unproved. Two small negro boys were hunt ing near Albemarle Thursdaj', and one shot and killed the other. The shooting is supposed to be acciden tal. The Elkin Standard says that a negro died in Jones ville Christmas night and the cause is said to be drinking whiskey from a broken bottle and getting glass into his stomach. Zeb V. Sumner shot and almost instantly killed George Ledbetter at Franklin, Macon county, Monday. Ledbetter was drinking and had fol lowed Sumner about town for some time cursing and abusing him. Senator Pritchard, having the ap pointment of a cadet at large to the West Point Military Academy, has designated Walter W. Bryan, of Madison county. He has named as his alternate Thadeus W. Jones, of Asheville. In Wake Superior Court this week the jury acquitted George Gooch, the white youth who two months ago shot and killed his father while the latter was beating the youth's moth er. The jury said it was justifiable homicide. Willie Meggs, awell-known trav eling salesman for a Baltimore house, was found in a dying condition in his room at the Bon Air Hotel, Weldon, Tuesday morning. Medical aid was summoned but the young man died in a short time. Napoleon L. Macon committed suicide near Louisburg Sunday morn ing by shooting himself in the head with a pistol. He had been in feeble health for some time, and it is sup posed that his mind became unbal anced. He leaves an afflicted wife and six children. The Greenville Reflector says Reg ister of Deeds Moore, of Pitt county. had an unusual experience a few days ago. A young lady applied to him for a marriage license and ob tained it, duly taking the oath re quired in such cases; but the license was not for herself. A correspondent of the Salisbury Sun says that George Goodman, a farmer of Rowan county, has be come converted to Mormonism. He has sold bis farm and as soon as he can sell his personal effects he will leave with his family for Utah. Mr. Goodman is CO years old and has a wife atid two grown sons and two grown daughters. The Greensboro Telegram tells that a railraad watchman employed to guard a crossing in Greensboro, went to sleep in his little guard nouse, and while he slumbered and slept some miscreant broke the glass in his window and took the pistol which was lying handy. The watch- mans nap was unaisturceu oy nis visitor, who made good his escape. George W. Pack, a wealthy and public-spirited Northern man whose home is in Asheville, and who con tributed the bulk of the cost of the erection of the Vance monument iu that town, proposes to give the coun ty of Buncombe an eligible and val uable site for a court house, provid ed they will erect a new building thereon and. will give the present court house site for a public park. At Littleton Thursday afternoon, Howard Alston, a young lawyer, and J. L. Robertson, a bar-keeper, met on the street and opened s shooting match without any prelim inaries. Robertson was shot in the neck but the wound is a very slight one. Alston was shot in the breast near the heart. His fate is uncer tain but he is expected to recover, The cause of the shooting cannot be learned except that bad blood had existed between the two for some time. The reports at the meeting of the Grand Lodge of Masons in Raleigh last week showed the order to be in a most prosperous condition. All the old officers were re-elected as fol lows: B. S. Royster, grand master; H. I. Clark, D. T. D. G. W.; W. S. Liddell, S. G. W.; F. D. Winston, J. G. W.; William Simpson, grand treasurer; John C. Drewry, grand secretary; J. M. Currin, of Oxford, was re-elected director of the orphan age. Col. A. C. Davis, grand orator, delivered the annual address. Suffered Death for a Kiss. Frank Sloan, of Prescott, Wash., in fun, kissed Miss Ella Boone, whom he had blindfolded, a few days ago. She resented his action and, pulling a hat-pin from her hat, stabbed him in the leg. The pin was broken off in his limb and blood poisoning re sulted. The next day the pain be came so intense that Sloan went to the hospital at Walla Walla. Au X ray machine failed to locate any sign of the remaining portion of the pin and Sloan grew worse and has just died. Miss Boone had remarked in Sloan's presence that she bad never been kissed. Then it was that he kissed her. is all right, if you are too fat; and all wrong, if too thin already. Fat, enough for your habit, is healthy; a little more, or less, is no great harm.
