Francis rotorted that her reply was not
to the point, and that he would rather
hear one instance Of woman's constan-
cy. "Can you mention a single in
stance Of her inconsistency" asked the
Queen of Navarro. It happened that
a few weeks before this conversation a
gentleman Of the court had been thrown
into prison upon a serious charge; and
his wife, who was one Of the Queens
ladies in waiting, was reported to have
.eloped with his page. Certain it was
that tho page had fed, no one could

Tended the lady, and said that time
would prove her innocence. The King
shook his head, but promised that it,
within a month, her character should
be re-established, he would break the
pane on which the couplet was written,
and grant his sister whatever boon she
might ask.
Many days had not elapsed after this,
when it was discovered that it was not
the lady who had fed with the page,
but her husband. During one Of her
visits to him in prison they had ez-

pardon at the Kings hand, who not

destroyed the pane of glass, but the ca
luminous saying inscribed on it has I'M

THINK OF IT.-The number of Ian
guages spoken is 1904. The number
of men is equal to the number of wo-
men. The average of human life is 33
years. One quarter die before the age
Of II. To every 1000 persons, one
only reaches 100 years. To every 100,
only Q reach G5 years; and not more
than ono in 500 reaches the age Of so
years. There are on earth 100000
600 Of Inhabitants. OF these 33, ,333,-
600 die every year, 1850 every hour,
and 60 every minute--or ] for every
second. These losses are about bal
anced by an equal number Of births
The married are lougcr-hycd than the
single and above all, those who observe
a sober and industrious conduct. Tall
men live longer than short ones. Wo-
men have more chances Of life previous
to the age of 80 years than men, but
fewer after The number Of marriages
is in proportion of IS to 100. Maria
gos are more frequent after the cQui-
noxcs--that is, during the months Of
June and December Those born in
the spring are generally more robust
than others. Births and deaths are
more frequent by night than by day
Number Of men capable of bearing
arms is calculated at ono-fourth Of the
population.

henly clay sine qua Nol."
If any Of my readers were ever for
tunate enough to hear Mr.. Clay tell
the following story, they can never for
get the inimitablo grace and humor
with which it was done: "While I was
abroad lnboring to arrange the terms
of the Treaty of Ghont, there appeared
report Of the negotiations or letters
relating thereto, and several quotations
from my remarks or letters, touching
certain stipulations in the treaty, reach
ed Kentucky, and were read by my
constituents. Among them was an old
fellow who went by the nickname of
"Old Sandusky." lie was reading ono
Of those letters one evening, at a near
resort, to a small collection Of the neigh
bors. AS he read on, he came across
the sentence, "This must be deemed a
a sine ana non" "What's a sine Qua n0n?'
said a half a dozen bystanders. "Old
Sandusky" was a little bothered at FIRST,
but his good sense and natural shrewd-
ness was fully equal to a mastery Of
Latin. "Smc-qua-HoH2' said "Old
ISandusky," repeating the question very
slowly; 'why, sine qua noa is three Isl.
ands in Passamaquoddy Bay, and Har.
ry Clay is the last man to give them
up. No sine QWa non, no treaty, he says,
aud he'll stick to i'll" You should have
seen the laughing eye, the change in
the speakers voice aud manner, to un.
derstaud the electric effect the story
had upon his hearers.

The Industry Of Women.

The Edinburg Review has an inter.
osting paper on the labors and emol-
uments Of women. The writer aifirms
that education is the surest means of
placing her in the position nature in
tended her to occupy. Out Of six mil
lions of women in England and Scot
land, he shows that no less than half
are industrial in their life-more than
a third being self-supportod. The mat
rimouial cases under recent laws have
disclosed an amazing amount of fe-
male industry-almost every wife who
sought protection proving that she had
supported the household and acquired
property. The reviewer does not hest
tate to attribute difficulties in regard to
the industrial independence of women
to the jealousy of men. This jealousy,
he says:
Shows itself with every step gained in
civilization, and its immediate effect is
60 pauperiEe n large number of women
who are willing TO work for their bread,
and, we need not add, to condemn to
pordition many more who have no
choice left but between starvation and
vice. The jealousy which keeps coun-
try women from the employment of en-
craving the brass works of a watch,
and from pasting patterns of floss silk
upon cards, for trade purposes, long
kept the School of Design in London
closed against female pupils, and rem
dors it still almost impossible for an
English woman TO qualify herself for
treating the diseases Of women and
children The same jealousy cost many
lives in the late war, by delaying the re-
cepton of the nurses into the hospitals
in the East and by.rostrioting their ac-
ton when there. In the Staffordshire
potteries women are largely employed
in painting porcelain, an art which they
are better qualified to practice than
men. 1t will hardly be credited, but
we can vouch for the fact, that such is
the jealousy of men that they compel
the women to paint '0th0ut a rest for
the hand, and the masters are obliged
by their own workmen, to sanction
this absurd act of injustice.

Venus, Mercury, Jupiter and Saturn

sun as a kind of rhomboidal figure; a
phenomena of such extraordinary rari-

mence and terminate on the land, the
localities being California and the
Red Sea. Between these extreme points
the eclipse will be visible in North
America, from whence the moons shad-

traverse Spain; total darkness inclu-
ding the following important towns in
that country: Oyiede, St. Vincent San
