most things. One always feelB that
the thing one does not possess, or the
thing one cannot do, is the one tiling
essential to happiness. The unsuc-
cesaful think the successful must be
happy. Tho invalid* think if they had
health nothing else would matter. The
laboring man thinks if he only had
leisure he would be content. Hut, for-
tunately, happiness Is not the preroga-
tive of any class of people or station
in life. No doubt some are gifted with
a happier and more cheerful tempera-
ment than others, says the New York
iWeekly, but one's point of view is
really largely a whiter'of habit, an 1
.the thing to do is to try and get into
a habit of letting one's thoughts dwell
on the pleasant tWngs of life as much
as possible and forget Its worries as
soon as may be.

that only girls with the largest sort of

It Is Inspiring to read that the Asso-

improving the standard of plumbing.
The enthusiasm with which the aver-

Bomehing of a jolt, however, with the
further announcement that by giving
the people sanitary plumbing the or-
ganization will be able to command
prices that will pay its members for
the good work they do. Dear, dear,

Let

Mating
"There is no doubt that the selection of
the husband should really rest with the
woman," snys I)r. Denslow Lewis. "In the
animal world it is invariably the female that
chooses her mate. Only in the human race
it the right of selection arbitrarily given to
the male. Left to herself, and with no ham-
pering conventions to interfere, the woman
would be the most discriminating chooser.
With all sorts of men to seject from she
would be in no hurry to mate with the first
little man that popped the question. Women
love physical perfection.
"With her right to select unquestioned,
a woman would .pick out the man of her own physical ideal, woo him
with all her varied arts and fascinations at her disposal, and nine times
out of ten get him. Physically the race would be greatly benefited. There
are many thousands of women in this country who have married men
just because they have been asked and who now live the lives of housekeep- | pennies."

The right of man alone to pA the all-important question of her life to
the woman ho selects has come into fashion only with the advent of civi-
lization, which is, as we know, but a relative term. The exclusive tight of
propping marriage did not always belong to the lords of creation, and ,
since it.has, become his especial privilege men, says Dr. Westermarck, the ,
eminent German ethnologist, have deteriorated in physical worth. Even ..n
now, among those races which distinguish woman by giving her the right
to selcct the man who is to preserve the species which she is to mother,
the finest specimens of physical manhood are to be found. Among primi-
tive raccs, modern,as well as ancient, the right of selecting her mate was
always given to the woman.
Primitive societies were intelligent enough, says M. Dromart, to
allow the law of compensation to work. They realized that the species
could only be preserved in its original excellence by allowing the female
the right to exercise her discretion as to who should be allowed to mate
with her. The law of all primitive societies allowed her to choose, and,
in the majority of cases, severely penalized the occasional aggressor who
forced his attentions upon an unwilling woman. What was the result? A
race of perfect men grew into being. All the males in the tribe strove
by their accomplishments in feats of strength and endurance to win the
attraction of the women, whose choice was therefore fixed according tp-the
highest criterion of physical manliness.
Nowadays, however, it is often the men who are least athletic, and in
most cases the least worthy physically, who show the greatest pretensions,
or who devote most time to attracting the attention of the opposite sex. The
consequence is that we see undersized and often almost decrepit men mated
with women of magnificent physical proportions, all the disparities re-
appearing, particularly in regard to their detrimental aspect, in the off-
spring, which is more often than not unequal and unenduring.

Prophecy is not the foretelling of events
«o much 'aa the foretelling of moral conse-
(uences. The trade of the clairvoyant flour-
ishes in Chicago, as in New York,' but
where are the compelling voices that speak
o conscience and not to curiosity? Where,
in the midst of all the babel of prediction
and blatant boasting that gives itself out
as wisdom and courage, are the clear, strong
tones of august humanity of an Emerson
and a Curtis, a Lincoln and a Lowell?
If we are wise we will let any of our
providers and purveyors die before we loee
our prophets. For we achieve personality
only through perspective—and the prophet recalls us to the true per-
