you cannot bo iu the kitchen or the
nursery! Como and have your
nights to yourself! Come and see
the brightest part of city life through
the undixtened eyes of youth." And
the young girls from the country,
by the hundreds and thousands, are
turning their backs upon the refined
employment of a domestic life and
flinging themselves into the whirling,
brain destroying, heart crushing
maelstrom of temptation, where so
xnany have been destroyed forever.
The royal domestic should be
among the raost lionored of all
women. It largely "depends on her
readiness to perform her duties and
her efficiency in her service whether
or no this country is to be a nation
of homes. "God setteth the soli-
tary in families," or as you could
read it in the Bible margin. "God
setteth the solitary in a house."
What does that mean? Simply
this: Eyery ideal unit of • society
should be a home. What is an ideal
home? A father and a mother for
the heads of the table, children for
the nursery, servants to help provide
for the domestic wants. While 'the
husband is off to- business the wife
must be doing her work in the house
board and laundry bill and extra
clothes absorb all the salary. And
so when you place the net iecome of
an average servant girl against that
'of an average clerk you find her sal-
ary is mostly gain, while his, at the
end of the week, after his legitimate
expenses have been raet, is obsolete-
ly nothing or'ahout nothing.
ANOTHER ADVANTAGE.
But there is 'Still another advan-
tageous aspect of the question which
shOuld not be overlooked. Eliezer,
the servant, was the chief man in
Abraham's hous9ho1d. In how many
American houstehulds, think you, is
the cook the principal functionary,
upon whose skill and proficiency the

ed to station. It Is legitimately ap-
plied to any woman whose conduct
In her own sphere is noble and faith-
ful—conduct "which is becotning or
-fitting to a queen." Nor is the fin-
ancial coznpensation for her service
Inadequate. Her remuneration is as
large as any other wage earner in
proportion to the physical labor and
mental training which are required
of her.
A meralmot never considers the
gross returns of his business, but
tho net. Be says to himself:
"These goods were sold for so much.
Now I must find out my expenses—
so much for store rent, so much for
night watchinan, so much for ex-
pressage, so much for commercial
travelers, so much for advertising, so
much for taxes, so much for this
and so much for that and the other
thing." Then that merchant sub-
tracts the expenses from the gross
receipts, and be says, "I make so
much net." No advantage in buying
goods in a foreign market if the
tariff laws eat up all the profits or
in raising potatoes and apples in
tho Dakotas or Montana if ',the rail-
road freight to bring the fruit to
the market costs more than the
goods are worth. No financial ad-
vantage in being a downtown clerk
• and receiving $8 or 510 a week if
the expenses- of room rent and • car
• fareand the lunch counter and
But there is a limit to a wife's phy-
sital and mental capacities. No av-
erage mother can perform her domes-
tic work without help. She can-
not be nurse and dressmaker and
cook and chambermaid and waitress
and marketer all in one. She must
have female assistance. Ste must
have a. servant or servants to aid
her, or else she nuist give uj house-
keeping.
A VITAL INSTITUTION.
"But," says some -one to me, is
the responsibility of the American
'girl who will not become a domestic
servant so groat? Cannot men and
women who live in boarding houses
and hotels be just as good as those
husbands and wives who have their

THE CHRISTIAN DOMESTX0.
Now. 'women ofAmerica whom
God has called to bo consecrated
domestics, I plead with you to enter
the kitchen and the nursery and the
home because that is one pi your
natural spheres—that is a place
where God wants you to work. The
Christian domestic should bo honor-
ed both on earth and in heaven be-
cause she le not only able to do her
own work, but also to impress her
consecratell life indelibly upon
others.
Then in closing, 1 would speak an
earnest word to those women who
are about to consecrate their lives
to this line of service. God has
opened for you mighty possibilities
for gooq , Fit yourself for that
work as the Lord Jesus Christ
Would have you. Make the Bible
the chieL textbook of your life. Pray,
and unceasingly- pray, that the Rely
Spirit will inspire you to speak the
right word in the right way. Above
all, whatsoever your station in life
may be, let me urge you to enter
the service of Jesus Christ. Not
even the subject of Your life's ocett-
pation can compare in importance
with the crucial question whether
you are a'servant of our Lord. Make
that your first, your chief business,
that you are accepted of him, and
that you are obeying his cenimands.
Look not for your rewards from
man, but so live that In the great
day of judgment you May hear the
best of all .encomiums : "Well 'done !
alhou. art one of inir queens I. Thou
hast been chief of all women I Thou
host been a faithful servant."
LIVES OF ANIMALS.
Animals vary greatly in the length
of their lives. Elephants, eagles and
parrots may celebrate their hundred-
th birthday, but ,our domesticated
beasts are thought to be aged when
they have reached a quarter of a
hundred. A horse is old at 20, a
donkey at 25 a.nd a cat or dog at
15. The span of existence alloted to
insects is shorter still, the fly and
the butterfly commonly enjoying but
one summer of vigorous life, and
then being taken oil by the cold, if
they are not .previously snapped up
by a bird.

(ave. 14, 23; oix., ti) and similar

einiple truth WAS that Saul, having
refused to obey Clod and follow Iline
" Itnt by God to the guidance of
a ono ho preferred.
12-14. And Saul was afraid o
David, because the Lord was with
hint and was departed from Saul.
* 0 * And David behaved himself
wisely in all his wiles, and the
Lord Wali with him.
Although Soul humbled bine to be
the captain only of a thousrind
(verse 18). David kopt evenly on his
way and evalkon wisely in the sight
of the Lore, conscious of Ilis pees-
ento and approval. The phrase "be-
have wisely" is the mune as "pros-
per" or "have good success" (Josh.
le, 7, 8; Jen :exile, 5), and in Ps.
toodie 8, it is "instruct." By the
Spirit of the Lord mightily upon
hint (ova, 18, R. V.) be was so In-
structed that he could say, 41 will
behave erlyself wisely in a perfect
way" (Ps. el., .2), and by the grace
of God he did. If we allow our-
selves to be affected by or come un-
der the power of people or airman-
stiumes, we do not proeper or belia.ve
wisely, but to have a boort only for
Goct—that is true prosperity. By
tee grace of God David so lived that
his name was much set by, or preci-
ous (verso 30 and raargirl), in the
oyes of the people. The words.
"Tho Lord was with him" (verse 12,
14 and 28), remind us of Joseph and
his trials and tbat both as slave and
prisoner the Lord was with him and
he was a prosperous loan (Gen.
xxxix„ 2, 8, 21, 23),
15. Wherefore when Saul sow that
he believed himself very wisely he
was .afraid of him.
Sin and a guilty conscience mane
cowards. Adam, having sinned, was
afraid and sought to hide from God
Abraham was afraid that they
would kill him for his wife's sake,
and he and she consented to lie, and
so also did Isaac and Rebekah (Oen.
iii. 10; xii, 12; xx, 11; xxvi, 7).
The testimony of an uprigbt life is
a rebuke to one living in sin, and
there is a conscience that also -up-
braids. • God knows and the guilty
person, knows; they know together
(conscience) even 11 no ono else
knows.
16. But all Israel and Judah lov-
ed David, because he went out and
came in before them.
Long afterward, when he was en -
elated king at rlebron, they spoke
te him in, these words "When Saul
was king over us, thou west he that
leddest out and broughtest in -.Is-
rael" (II Sam. v. 2). "Going out
and coming in" in a. phraFe that
seems to cover all one's daily life.
When Solomon became king he said
to God : "I am but a little child.
know not how to go out or come
in" (I. Kings iii, 7). • Se the beau-
tiful promise in Ps. cxxi. 8, "The
Lord shall preserve thy going out
and thy coming in from this time
foeth and- even forevermore," with
the assurance • in Deut. xxviii, 6,
"Dleeeed shalt thou be tvben teen
goest mit" inclunes the whole life.
When thus blessed and kept by God,
we need not fear the hatred or ill
will of any one, but may find all
necessary comfort in such words as
these : "I, even I, am he that coin-
fortheth you. Who art thou that
thou shouldst be afraid 'of ,a man
* * and forgetteth the Lord,, *thy
Maker ?" (Ism. li. 12,13). Andre-
joice to say : "The Lord is my light
and my salvation; whom shall I
fear? ,The Lord is the strength of
my life; of whom shall I be afraid?"
-Behold, God is my salvation: I
will trust and not be afraid."
"'What time I\am afraid I will trust
in thee" (Pis. xxii, 1; lvi, 3, 4, 11;
Isa. xii, 2).

SIIRINKING ENGLISHMEN.
Said to be Collapsing Mentally
and Physically.
Alarm has been spread in. England
by statistics produced by the Duke
of Wellington to show that the Eng-
lishman is deteriorating physieally.
Another note of alarm is struck b3r
Dr. Ernest W. White, professor of
psychological medicine at King's
College, who in bis presidential ad-
dress to the Medical Psychological
Association said the facts point to
an accumulation of the chronic in-
sane. The number o. cases or mel-
ancholia bas vastly increaeed, fre-
quently resulting in chronic insanity.
During the last few years Dr.
White had been struck by the large
number of cases of evolutionary men-
tal breakdown occurring in patients
of the upper and middle classes,
from -18 to 20 years of age. This
was tho result of the strain of edu-
cation and the world of life upon
brains unequal to the stress under
which Londoners hare lived. Late
marriages are more frequent than
they were fifty years ago and that
doesnot conduce to healthy stock.
Late hours, unnatural excitement,
mid greater stress of life, all have
had their effect on the inerea.te of
insanity, and Dr. White fears that
the race generally is less robust
mentally, as well as physically, than
formerly.
LORD S A LTSIATRY.
Lord Salisbury has so greatly 10.1-,
proved in health, says a London
correspondent, that Wollner Castle
is being prepared for his reception.
It is expected that he will make a
prolonged stay at his delighful mar-.
ine residence, which, although with-
in a few yards of the see at high
water, has a large old-fashioned gar-
den in which absolute shelter can be
round in the 'wind. The ex -Premier
has the use of the castle, „of course,
by virtue of his office of Lord War-
den of the Cinque Ports. The apart-
ment which be uses as a study is
the, one in which Lord Nelson and
the Duke of 'Wellington had an in-
terview before the future lavo of
Trafalgar joined the neee eneemblece
