The Bostsn Advertiser says: Zone
of the curious changes which time is
proverbially bringing about is illustrated
in the appointment Of Sir George jesse
as Master of the Rolls. In former times
the office was not, as now, judicial, bul
the rolls house was, as its name would
indicate, depository of records and
archives The Jews we're then perse
cuted sect, and one Of the titles of the
Master of Rolls was Guardian of Con.
verted Jews, the rolls house itself being
an asylum for such Hebrews. All this
was changed long ago, so that Jew may
become a judge. Sir George Jessel is
the first of the once hated sect to be-
come judge, aud, aingularly enough,
the post he has been called to occupy is
that which in former times made the in
cumbent the guardian Of those who had
renowned Judaism for Christianity
Nothing now stands IN the way Of his
being made peer Of the realm, and it
is said that he will soon be elevated 10
the House Of Lords. Ii so, be will not
only be the first Of his faith to sit on the
English bench, but the first to take 3
seat in the upper house Of Parliament"

Physical Education for Women.

Four hundred men were saved from
the wreck of the Atlantic and one boy
of twelve years OF age; but not single
women was saved. No especial effort
was made TO save the boy. He saved
himself by judicious use of his feeble
strength. But many men made gallant
efforts to save their wives, their sweet.
hearts and their daughters. Why tie
total failure:
TIE answer is plain. The women
could not swim. The women could not
climb. The women could not cling to
Il rope stretched from the ship to the
shore. The women We're not dressed To
ei her Withstand the cold or allow them
the free play of their limbs and muscles
little feeble boy could climb the rig
ging, could crawl along rope, could safe
ly drop from the height intoa rocking
boat; but the women could do nothing
useful to themselves or others. Yet if
the ship had been filled with barbarians,
as many women as men, proportionally,
would have reached the shore. Our
boasted civilization and the DEGREES of
fashion and miscalled propriety murder
women Whenever an emergency arrives
which reduces all caught in a great cat
astrophe from "lIdies" and "genGlc-
man. to dependence upon anamal
strength, cool courage, muscular and
mental resources capable of battling
with the elements. There never was il
more terrible lesson of the dangerous
folly, not to say the criminal wickedness
OF our civilization in trying to make of
women ahelpless, weak, and defence
less creature, such as Nature never de-
signed her to be; !; and yet thi. lesson will
pass utterly unheeded, as so many hun
dreds OF previous ones have.
