It all the numerous books that have been printed in this country of late dealing with “theosophy” and its kindred subjects were plainly labeled on their covers, “this way mad- ness lies,” they would probably have just as many readers, but possibly their authors and publishers would escape a tithe of the moral Tesponsibility for the cases of mental derange- ment which their books have caused or stimu- ja In a suburb of Boston a gentleman is engaged in protessional work in which he has received no little direct assistance and much sustaining sympathy and encouragement from his. wife, Who Was @ Woman of remarkable strength and poise ol mind. In addition to the tactiul work which she did for her husband, she had the cares of a family of children. One day a triend Who culled asked her ii she had read Edwin Amoid’s “Light of Asia.” She said that she had not, and her visitur uext day sent her her copy of ‘the poem. It was read, and the Indy Was much interested In it. Following up the Buddbistic “lead” thus opened to her, she went on into theosophy, taking up Mme. Biavatsky’s “Isis Unveiled,” ‘and. bringing up, quite natu- rally, with “ Esoteric Budduism.” When the lady bad got well into this work there were evident signs that her old mental poise was quite gone. She belleved herself an “adept,” abd thought and lived “esoteric Budd- hism.”” It Is only a step from theosophy to Somerville, and the lady who began so lightly with Edwin Arnold is now in the McLeun asy- Jum underzoing treatment for acute mauia. As in most acute cases, there is hope of her restora- tion to reason. The disease must run its course, like a case of brain fever; it takes longer than that disease and is quite us serious a matter. ‘The doctor says thatin Lhe course of sour oF fl months this patient may be restored to her family, which is almost helpless without ber. Aud the doctor has prescribed, quite naturally, that when she goes back to ber home, tf she goe buck at ail, shestall tad no esoteric Buddbism awaiting ber perusal. By he Way, a bright and practical womai not so much a disciple of Mrs. Partington as might be imagined, hs found a new name for this advanced staxe oftheosophical mania which has attained so dangerous popularity among people who like speculation. She ealls it “me- Sonterie buobyismi.” The first word does not seem to be quite squared with the Greek roots, but the term taken in its entirety has unden!- able significance. ‘To modezu Athenians who cannot forego the hearing und secing of new things, and must take up Buddhism, the advice of a savant ciergymian on the subject muy be useful. “Ir you inust take Buddhism,” he says, “by all means take it straight. ‘The mixture served up in the form of theosopby is sophisticated and adulterated.

Christine Terhune Herrick in the Philadelphia Presa Whether they are sufficiently honest to ac- knowledge it or not, ninety-nine girls out of every hundred look forward to marriage us a matter of course. It would be betier for them and for their fature husbands were this taken into account In the training ot giris, and with- out teaching that a single lite must be empty and unsutisiactory, yet Instruct them that, as matrimony will probably be their destiny, they shouid fit themselves for it, not only by train- ing in domestic duties, but by the study of gen- Ueness, forbearance and unselfishness.

The Plot eof Her Story, “The Leng Ran.” The Philadelphia Times gives the following as the plot ot Miss Rose Elizabeth Cleveland’ summer novel, “The Long Run,” as nearly as possibie in her own words. “Rufus Grosbeck 1s writing letter.” When itis finished he throws it, “unsealed and un- addressed,” upon the table and leaves the room. “It is, perhaps, four hours before be re- enters, picks up the letter, still unsealed and unaddressed”—Miss Cleveland is precise—it might have sealed and addressed itself—“and pats it in his pocket.” Then he “throws on his head the hat that lies near and walks out of the house.” Soon “heis lost to the village and the village is lost to bim. His path stretebes before him into wide rural loneliness.” In this wide rural loneliness “gleams the white and green of alittle manse.” In the manse “dwell the rector and bis wile, ue babe, one maid snd, just now, one visitor.” The visitor at the manse fs Miss Longworth, from the city. “she, individually, has done nothing tomake herself notorious, except to be born and bear her name, which ‘later is the notoriety, it being that of & wealthy and aristo- cratic family time out of mind.” “She 1s now a Woman in lier thirties and somewhat settled in her wnys.” Miss Lougworth’s visits were in- teresting to the Browns at the manse, to the Siycombs—“ior had not Miss Longworth al- ready had Sallie to visit ber at her own home in the city and had not Sallie returned thence With a certain delighttul veneer of savoir faire Over. all her rustic Are, whieh reflected “‘rose- ‘Wood lustre on the whole tamily?""—and even to the “poor, mixcrable Woolwieues.” It was only Kutus Grosbeck whose “interest had been circulating bout the zero point until ten days 0, although itis more than a year now since Miss Longworth has been a periodical visitor at Stonewall.” Singular Rutus! “Grosbeck him- self is thinking it all over now, as, with the letter in his pocket, he is pacing slowly up and Syuyn,the leabstrewn path.” Unbappy Ratu? “With that trick which besets every man when conscience drawsiull consciousness to the fiery focus of one time, with its electric light of then and there, be is groping up and down the lengthened radii, back and forth, inspecting with @ neediess,’ truitiess nicety,’ trying to divert the light from that focus and so dilute its Intensity.” Rutus is having a hard time ot It is necessary to go back with Rufus Gros- beck “one year and some months, to the sum- merof Miss Longworth’s advent to Stonewall.” “The occasion is no less that that of the ube nual chureh picnic, regular as the summer sol Stice, which at this return is graced by the presence of the guest of the rector's wife.” Miss Cleveland herselt deciares that “no occasion could be contrived on which the graceful and gracioas demeanor of so tine # lady could tind more generous scope among the Brown and Siycomb constituency, not omitting the miser- able Woolwi Tie supreme moment was at hand.

Cook: AX EMPLOYMENT FOR MEN, NOT FOR WOMEN. From the American. The business of cooking is one of the employ- ments which woman bas been expected to dis- charge for centuries past, yet the tradition which assigns this work to woman as her spe ial duty does not seem to have been a very old one. In the Bible we find no indication that women rather than men are to discharge the culinary functions, When Abraham bustens to welcome his mysterious visitors on the plains of Maire, it is he who kills and prepares the Savory meat for their entertainment, while Sarab only makes tue cakes or biscuit which served the place ot bread. When Esau sold hiv birthrigut for tie mess of red len- ls, It was Jacob who was cooking them, Gideon himself prepared ‘the kid, cakes and broth for nis angel v ‘Wheb Samson’s parents propose to entertain the angel, ihe cookery needful fs spgken of as a joint affair. His tather says: “LeBus prepare.” It is true that Samuel warns the Israelites that if they set up a king, the luxury of tbe court will re- quire the employment of their daughters as “eontectiouaries, cuoks und bakers,” but this ‘seems to describe an unnatural state of things, and the very next chapter mentions a cook who evidently is a man. Elisua’s man servani, Gebazs, ‘makes ready the meal fer the sons of the prophets, of which it was said: “There 1s death in the pot!” And in Solomon's famous description of the wise aad virtuous woman, there is not a word ot her achlevewents and accomplishments 4s @ cvok, although it contains a long list of the feminine employments which were thought the glory of the sex. Soin the New Testament, aiso, there is uo allusion to woman #8 4 cook, although there are references to ojber of her employinents, such as grindiugeorn, The chai supper whieh Jesus ate with his disciples: Was prepared by two of bis male disciples, And the “Aposde Pani, particular aud se vere as he is in’ his requirements of Christian women, says nothing ot this great matter of cookers. So. among the Greeks und Romans this great business seems to have been ratuer in the hands of men than of women, Most of the coukiug among the Greeks was in the form of sucrifices, for Which men ony were competent religiously.
