How A WELL-BRED MAN DEcEIvEs WOMEN.
Miss Evans, in her last novel of Mil on tht
Floss, seems to entertain the theory that a
well-bTed gentleman will never speak well OF
one lady to another, under any circumstances,
and gives it expression in this manner
Lucy asks Stephen, "Isn't Maggie dear,
noble looking creature?"
"Too tall" said Stephen, smiling down
upon her, "and little too fiery. She is not
my type of woman, you know" r-
Gentlemen, you are aware, are apt to i'm
part these imprudent condolences to ladies
concerning their unfayorable opinion of sister
fair ones. That is why so many women have
the advantage Of knowing that they are Sc
cretly repulsive to men who have selfdeny-
ingly made ardent love to them.

CoTToN AND COFFEE IN NEW ZEALAND
Attempts are now being made to introduce
the cotton and coffee plants to New Zealand.
Coflee-berries from Ceylon, and cotton-seed
from China, have arrived at Auckland, and
both are now deposited in the ground in the
faith of yielding profitable results. Seeing
that oranges, lemons, and other delicate fruits
are already successfully cultivated in the
northern portion of the colony, and that
grapes of the very best quality are grown in
the province of Auckland, there is no reason
why the coffee and the cotton plants should
not be also successfully cultivated. ...

acquitted themselves nobly. OF the
