How IL Woman Reads "A NewsP
per.
Old SUNDAY Times.l

CAA tohhidy 4 lAhNrsI
Somebody says that one who watches a
woman read newspaper will get some new
ideas on the characteristics Of the gentler
sex She takes it up hurriedly and begins
to sean it over rapidly, as though she was
hunting some particular thing but she is
not She is merely taking in the obscure
paragraphs WHICH she half believes were put
in Out-oi-the-way places for the sole purpose
of keeping her from seeing them, As she
finishes each one her couutenance brlghtens
with the comforting rejection that she has
outwitted the editor and the whole race of
men, for she cherishes vague belief that
newspapers are the enemies Of her sex, and
editors its chief oppressors. She never
reads the head lines, and the huge telegraph
heads she never even sees. She is greedy
for local news, and devours it with the
keenest relish. Marriages and deaths are
always interesting reading TO her, and adj
vertisements are exciting and stimulating.
She cares but little for printed jokes, unless
they reflect ridicule upon the men, and then
she delights in them, and never forgets
them. She pays particular attention TO any
thing enclosed by quotation marks, and
considers it rather better authority than
anything first-handed. The columns in
which the editor airs his opinions in loaded
hifalutin she rarely reads. Views are Of no
Importance in her estimation, but facts are
everything. She generally reads the poe
try. She doesn't always care for it, but she
makes practice Of reading il, because she
thinks she ought to, She reads stories,
and sketches, and paragraphs indiscrimi-
natelY, and believes every word of them.
Finally, after she has read all she intends
to, she lays the paper down with an air OF
disappointment, and a half-contemptuous
gesture, which says very plainly that she
thinks all newspapers miserable failures,
but Is certain that if she had the chance she
could make the only perfect newspaper the
world has ever seen.

poem is published, that the poet is sincere,
but there is nothing opposed to Hindoolsm
in such a cult. One European at least ls
worshipped in Northern India, and some
caste or other might find it convenient to
institute a worship of the Prince OF Wales,
as less cruel than silva, less immoral than
Vishnu, and more accessible than Brahma.
The three feathers would do very well tor
the symbol of the caste, to be painted
between the eyes, and the motto, " 1ch

A correspondent of the liverpool DAILY
Post tells a story of the late Emperor
Napoleon which looks true,-it is SO
strangely characteristic Of him. It was
his chief amusement during his last illness
to muse over a collection of the caricatures
of himself which had been published
during his reign and after his fall. The
writer thinks he was so miserable, that
he found pleasure only in nursing his
sorrow; but there is another explanation
possible. The Emperor, who had lived
much with artists, knew that carlcaturlsts,
if numerous, rarely fail to catch a mans
inner weakness, aud was studying the
collection to discover the quality in him
self which he ought, in the interest OF his
dynasty, to have suppressed, Untortu-
nateIy, his first defects were such as no
caricaturist catches. Neither Cham nor
Tenniel could show that Napoleon dis
liked mental ability, and enjoyed before
all i~nduIgences the meditative inertia
which the Arabs call kc6.

their contributions to Imperial funds ard
liability for part of the general Debt,
while the Austrians object that the scheme
would lead to universal bankruptcy. The
Bank is, however, only the pivot round
which the dispute turns, the Austrians
being profoundly irritated by a recent
Hungarian assumption that Hungary may,
if the Empire goes to war with Turkey,
refuse both supplies and troops. The
Progressist Liberals in the Viennese
Lower House have informed Prince
Auersperg, according to a telegram in the
Standard, that they will make no more
concessions to Hungary, and would prefer
to see the two Kingdoms separated, and
the Radicals are expected to make the
same declaration. Note in connection
with this matter, that the bankers of
Europe have refused to furnish a small
loan needed in Vienna because Hungary
will not help to guarantee it, and that the
Government intends to appeal to the gene
raj public to subscribe.

lighthouse dues should be abolished and
shipping taxed, say, Sd. per ton, for the
maintenance of ten training-ships, with
300 boys in each, which would cost
about 200, 900 a year. These ships, filled
with lads whose friends thought them fit or
inclined for the sea, would be nurseries Of
able seamen both for the Mercantile Marine
and the Royal Navy, boysso trained being
decidedly preferred by captains to raw lads.
The recommendation issound but might it
not be greatly extended, and applied more
exclusively to the service of the State?
Suppose Government to establish training
schools for 10000 lads-say one school in
each Of ffty-two counties-the conditions
being that the boys should be we'll fed and
well taught without expense to the parents,
and repay expenses by giving ten years

Would there be any unfairness in that offer ?
The lad would leave the Army or Navy at
twenty-eight a skilled and competent man,
probably with large amount of saved
pay, and Government would have a perma-
nent nucleus for its fighting services. The
scheme has succeeded hitherto, why should
it not be extended?

1t is quite possible that the great exer-
tons recently made by Mr.. Robson,
Secretary to the American Navy, to
increase the ironclad fleet, and the orders
to make the Home Squadron the strongest
squadron in the American service, are
dictated by distrust OF Spain. In England
we scarcely think of Spain as a Power,
but in the West Indies experienced
English officers believe that the Spanish
fleet employed to protect Cuba is stronger
than the American, and might, if war
broke out, do infinite damage not only to
commerce., but to the sea-board cities.
The Spaniards would strike hard, and
have not those reasons for being reluctant
to burn down New York or Boston which
would influence Great Britain. They
she'll their own cities without mercy. One
object of General Jovel!ar's mission is
said to be to put Cuba in a state of de-
