Should Men Talk Business at Home?
One of the real reasons of divorce
of Interest between men and women of
this country is that women do not take
an interest in their husband’s business.
Business bores tnoat American women.
We are too idealistic and too intellec¬
tual to care for Us sordid details. Busi¬
ness does more than bore us; sooner
or later the average woman grows to
dislike business, and for a good reason,
It is her rival in her husband's interest
and affections, says the writer of an
article entitled “The Inconsequential
American Woman," in Appleton's
America is full of sad-eyed and well
dressed women who complain that
thetr husbands’ lives they would stare
business” that they have no interest
left for anything else. If you were to
suggest to these women that they had
once been given a chance to share in
their h usbands’ lives they would stare
at you in surprise. It would be useless
to tell such a woman that she might
have been a consulting partner in her
husband’s business had she wished. To
this she has the reply, “Man ought to
leave his business cares in his office.”
That is, a man’s brain should be neatly
divided into two parts; he should be
able to switch off the thoughts which
have occupied his business hours the
way in which one extinguishes an elec¬
tric light. He should at the same mo¬
ment switch on the other half of Ills
brain where should burn brightly with
affection for his wife, love of amuse¬
ment and desire for that kind of relax¬
ation which his wife enjoys. The great
majority of men have been made to be¬
lieve that they should not “bring busi¬
ness home,” so great is the power of
reiterated suggestion. They actually
Ibink that It would not please them to
have their wives take an intelligent in¬
terest in their pressing affairs.
In accordance with plans of the war
department, Surgeon General O’Reilly
has recently enlisted a large number
of the most skilful and noted surgeons
and physicians In an army medical re
serve corps, The physicians were
drawn from all over the country, a few
here and a few there, and were chosen
solely for their ability. In time ot
peace they will receive no compensa¬
tion, although they may bu called upon
for consultation or advice. In time of
war they will receive the regular pay
of their rank, which will be lieutenant,
major, lieutenant colonel and colonel.
This, however, Is no temptation to men
of such a class. They have allowed
themselves to be enlisted In tho re¬
serve corps solely as a matter of patri¬
otic duty, and for the purpose of
strengthening and improving the army
medical service. 1
The Romanes lecture which Presi¬
dent Roosevelt has been chosen to de¬
liver at Oxford university in 1910 is
given under the provisions of a bequest
of the late George John Romanes, an
eminent biologist. The lectureship was
founded in 1S91 for the purpose of giv¬
ing the Oxford students an opportunity
each year to hear a man of general em¬
inence In art, literature or science, or
one who had special claims for distinc.
tlon in discussing some subject of high
interest At the time. The first lecture
was given by Gladstone. Among hts
successors have been Holman Hunt,
Huxley, John Morley and Ambassador
Bryce. Next year Mr. Balfour, the for¬
mer British premier, will give the lec¬
ture.
Count Bonl De Castellane has with¬
drawn his suit against his former wife
for alimony. Considering that she ob¬
tained the divorce, the withdrawal of a
demand for support is not altogether
magnanimous; but it may be regarded
so by himself and family, as the Ameri¬
can girl who had nothing in their eyes
to entitle her to the honor of an al¬
liance with them but her money was
given distinctly to understand that was
all she was married for. But this sor¬
did picture of vulgar greed is not de¬
terring other American heiresses from
tempting the same fate.
One of the Uttle tragedies of the
Boxer uprising in China has just come
to light. The young American woman
who painted the portrait of the late era
|)ress dowager wrote recently of the
killings, and mentions the long finger
nails of her distinguished subject. In
the hurried flight from Peking they
were Injured, and had to be cut, and
the artist remarks tn a ton# which sug
gests a sigh, “They were only about
three inches long when I painted the
picture.”
Tragedy in New Jersey. A woman
going from oue room to another in her
house met the harmless, necessary cat
carrying a mouse; whereupon the wom¬
an screamed and fell dead. The story,
however, is imperfect. The scream
must have startled and surprised the
cat, and what we are really curious to
know is whether tho mouse escaped?

Slllmp ill Friendship Love Prevails Not
n Romance To-D
ay
By HON. MRS. FITZROY ERSKINE.
FI RIENDSHIP and not love, we are told, has become the master
motive. The millions may keep nearer nature, but smart so
eiety has arrived at an artificial existence. Marriage—in our
set—is a business contract, and the love dream of long ago
l$4 bas given place to a cool liking, or, at best, to a cheery good
fellowship. For there is a slump in sentiment, and domestic
m affection, as once known, has become a mere myth of the dead
and gone Victorian era. Smart women scorn the old role
of fond fiancees and devoted wives and mothers. In these
days they are above all else bonnes camarades, and can play
this practical part to perfection. Husbands and wives, brothers and sis
ters, parents and children-^ach of these go in not for love, but for friend
ship only, and, in nine cases out of ten, are content to be pals, intimates,
and jolly companions.
Women are now on the up-grade. They are no longer dolls or slaves,
but keep their cash and their freedom, are the equals of meu, and their
husband’s friends and companions. And married friendship is helped
out by the way in which modern women share in the pursuits of their
belongings. , , . They back horses, do “deals” the city, ... travel - fast , . and .

I The wave of Hindooism, passing ovei
the country, is making havoc of many
Hindoo- minds.

attributes, but those attributes in their di
---------- “ vine fullness. Sometimes God is thought of
as a diffused intelligence, sometimes as a diffused principle, in eitliei case
without that reality apart from the world which theism teaches.
Judaeo-Christian philosophy teaches that the soul of man is god
like, endowed with power to apprehend and build into the qualities ot di
vine character as a son may into those of a father.
Hindooism, in all its forms, is based on metaphysical ideas, reason
ing out the world from preconceived notions. Its fundamental proposi
tions are: Only the true and good are eternal; only the eternal is real.
Sometimes its followers have abandoned the active world, hoping thereby
to more easily stnp off the veil of illusions which haulers their realization
of deity. Sometimes they only go so far as to deny the reality of physical
evils, as disease, hoping thereby to rid themselves of them. Sometimes
they deny moral evils, also, trying to live in a cosmic atmosphere whare all
such inequalities of the spiritual landscape vanish. In tjhese for miff, of
fers Qflsy avoidance of responsibility, and a seductive lure to selfishness.
Judaeo-Christian teaching keeps in touch with facts. By the in
stinctive working of mind it wrought a theory before scientific days which
squares with science. This world is real and man, a real man, lives a real
life in the world. Whatever we may learn of mysteries in ourselves below
the physical or in realms outside the physical we must approach them
along the lines of the physical and interpret them by the physical. The
greatest thing in the world is conscious intelligence, crowned in moral
manhood. The relation of man to God is one of sonship, from which lo fol¬
lows that all the growth of life is into the godlike. We are not deny
the earthly life or withdraw from it in order that the God in us may have
unhindered manifestation; but we are to be active in the world and
through it develop that purity of heart, that unprejudiced intelligence,
that loyalty to truth and justice and good will, which stamps us the chil¬
dren of the highest.
Thus every revelation of science but enlarges the field of opportunity
and responsibility, and makes a broader and firmer basis for hope that hu¬
manity, as it grows in ordered knowledge, will achieve its redemption,
and that man, as he is educated into timeless principles of life, will con¬
tinue to hold life when earth
fy time can hold him no more.

j upon in the same light as it is now; and,
perhaps, the women of those days were as
much to blame as anyone for not asserting their rights sooner.
The wife, as well as the husband, is a distinct personality, a separate
individual; and, therefore, equally entitled to her own distinctive powers,
A woman need not enforce her opinions always; frequently it is far wiser
and more discreet not to do so. If a wife sees that her husband differs
with her on some particular subject, it is impolitic to argue the point,
even though she knows she is in the right, nor does such an action tend
to the relinquishing of her own importance and dignity.
A woman should always, and in all cases, vaule her own freedbm of

soul with her husband, giving him all her love, respect, devotion and obe
dienee, this need in no wav prevent her from possessing certain traits and
characteristic* peculiarly her own, and which no right-minded man could
deny is her right and privilege.
Most men admire a striking personality; and the woman who knows*
how to hold her own, asserts her claim to the full right of her individual¬
ity. is the woman whom all the world respects, and man most eulogizes.

The make-up of Taft’s cabinet is

least, selected, the personalities and
anilities of these men are being dis
cussed. The chief topic of conversa¬

when he becomes senator from New

Louis Philippe of France learned of
this inscription and of the fact that it
was embodied in the Dutch official reg¬
ister, in recording the death of the al¬
leged dauphin, he addressed a protest
to William of Holland, asking him to
cause the Inscription to be obliterated,
It is said that the Dutch ruler replied
offering to comply with the request if
the French government would furnish
evidence that it was false, with the re¬
sult that the matter wag dropped. And
as recently as five years ago Queen.
Wilhelmina at her own expense caused
the tomb In question to be repaired,
and to be surrounded by a handsome
grating, thus indicating that she
shared the views of her grandfather
about the matter.
The tomb has just been opened to
receive the remains of the only sur¬
viving daughter of the Naundorff
dauphin, who died the other day at
Arnheim, In Holland, at the age of
nearly eighty, and whose demise has
been recorded in tne Dutch official
registers, as “Madame Le Clercq,
widow of Louis Le Clercq, nee Prin
cess Marie Therese de Bourbon,
daughter of Prince Charie* Louis de
Bourbon, Due de Normandie, and of
Madame la Duchesse de Normandie,
nee Jeanne Einert.”
It must not be imagined, however,
that the old lady was the last of her
family. Her brother's son. Prince
August Jean of Bourbon, who makes
his home at Paris, where he is in busi¬
ness as a wine merchant, is the head
of his house, and is the heir of all th*
pretensions of his grandfather, the
Naundorff dauphin, claiming thus to
be a great-grandson of the ill-fated
Louis XVI. and Queen Marie Antoin¬
ette, who perished by the guillotine
during the days of the Terror, at th*
close of the eighteenth century, on a
scaffold erected in that great square in
Paris at the foot of the Champs Eiy
sees, and which is known to every
American visitor to the French capi¬
tal as the Place de la Concorde.
While the proofs of the authenticity
of these claims are said to exist in the
family archives of the czar, of Queen
Wilheimtna, and at the Vatican, it Is
known that the principal key to th*
mystery is at Berlin, in the possession
of the kaiser, and it is insisted that
were a monarchical restoration to take
place in France in favor of the Duo
d’Orleans, he would be in a position
to hold over the latter's head as a
sword of Damocles the threat of dis¬
closures which would prove that the
real heir to the French throne was
Prince Auguste Jean of Bourbon, th*
Parisian wine dealer.
