Surely she can't be al­ luding to any of them, yet it looks as though It might be important for her to take the trouble to send a note down here." Finally he gave it up and went down town. That evening the first thing he said was. "Martha, who is G, and ^whom does G love?" "G? I'm sure I don't know. Wil­ liam." "Don't know? Didn't you writedown to toe that G loves?" " \;r „ "Yes.

Women i^iould G*t larareJ "Life insurance as managed to-day. oil the endowment plan, for insurance, is at once an assurance and insurance, ' writes Edward Bok in the February Ladies' Home Journal. "It is the best means of saving, because it is compul­ sory. Men have found this to be thi case, and women sh.mld. At thirty for instance, she can, for less than fift% dollars a year, take a twenty-year en dowment policy of one thousand dollars, which guarantees he * that amount when she reaches the age of fifty. She wil; not feel burdened by the annual pre­ mium of fifty dollars. But she will feel the comfort of a thou mid dollars when she is fifty. A woman's insurance for the education of her children is another factor of life insurance worthy erf her thought, especially if she be a widow. In this way a mother may provide for the education of her children in case of her death. If the custom, of mothers insuring their lives for their children at the time of the children's birth could become more general it would be one of the blessings of mankind. For women to insure their lives for the benefit oi their husbands may well be an opet question so far as the wisdom of sucl> a course is concerned. But when th« matter of life insurance for women i> placed on a basis of self-protection ii old age, for the benefit of children, or ae one of the brat means of saving money, or even as a wise system of investment, there cannot be the least question of its wisdom." Let the Man Reform Before Marriage "A girl should never marry a man that she may reform him," writes Mar­ garet Sangster, in the February Ladies' Home Journal. "If he is in need of ret ormation let him prove himself worthy by turning from evil and setting h& face steadfastly and perseveringly tc good before he asks a girl to surrender herself and her life to him. Nor should a girl be too impatient with father, mother and friends if they counsel delay in deciding a matter which is to influ­ ence her whole career and her lover's, when they, with clearer eyes than her own, perceive hi him an uosuitaWlity to her." - 1 Sunday and Monday Reggan, "The pew is a testimony to the family, and ought to be maintained with it- doors removed, and it does not matter whether a mftu pay fifty dollars a year for his pew or fifty oents," writes Ian Maclaren of "The Pew and the Man in it" in February Ladies' Home Jo. rnal. "The church authorities should see thai the householder has his pew> with room enough in it for himself, his wife, and the children which Gtod has given them. There is no reason in the world why the rich man should not pay a handsome sum for his church home. And some of us have never been able to understand why an artisan should not give some­ thing for his church home also. Surely, every man wishes to do what is right in the direction of his church. Every self respecting man likes to pay for his home whether it be large or small, ard it touches a man's honjr to live in a work­ house, where he pays no rent and de­ pends on the public. There is no nec ­ essity that this home feeling and thi* just independence should be denied in the House of God, but-it rather seems a good thing that the man who works and gives to provide a house where he and the children can live together in comfort and self-respect six days of the week should do his part to sustain the house where they worship God on the seventh day. He is a poor creature who will allow a rich man to pay his rent for him on weekdays, and I have never been able to see where there is any difference between being a beggar on Sunday and a beggar on Monday.M Children of the Slums. "Perhaps what I have seen of child- life in the slums has made upon my heart the deepest scars," writes Mrs. Balling- ton Booth, in the February Ladies' Journal "FOOT little scraps of human­ ity, sick, puny and deformed, or what was even worse still, vile and evil in word and disposition before the baby accents had left their words! The streets swarmed with them, playing squalling, fighting amid the jostling crowd and traffic until late into the night, and the houses were full of little figures that slept on the floor or crouched in the corners to get away from the drunken and brutal, who delight in abusing the weak.

Usual­ ly sach folk regard the strongest borsw. radish as the best, but an experienced vender of the condiment poohpoohs this point of view. "Why should the strong horse radish be considered good?" says he. "It brings tears to your eyes and lifts the top of your head off and makes you want te sneeze. It has no taste what­ ever. The mild horse radish, that which has stood awhile. Is the best and pleas- ttotest always. "There Is nothing so foolish as to think that the strong, biting kind Is the fresh--that Is the reason why It is preferred to the mild sort--for the very stalest, weakest horse radish can be made In 20 minutes strong enough to blow your head off, AH you need to do is to add salt to It. Try this some time. Just take nny old horse radish, dump In a spoonful of salt and then notice the difference.

A Derbyshire man. accompanied by his wife, happened to be traveling In a train when, near Stafford, a collision occurred. He was well known for his shrewdness In business, and he proved that In the collision his wife received a contusion between the eyes, for which a jury awarded £80 damages. Some time after the affair had blown over the following Confession, or some­ thing to the like efTect. was elicited from the plaintiff in a moment of un­ guarded conviviality: "Well, you see, when the collision happened t' owld woman afld I wur all reet. but when I looked out o* f car- ridge I seed a lot of fellies In a ter­ rible state. One sings out: 'Ey. lad! Ise getten me head cut open. Ill ha' twenty peoundn for this.' 'Twenty peounds, ye silly fulc?' cries another. *Ise gotten me shoulder out, and I'll ha' forty peounds for't.' When I heard this," continued the clever business man.
