The Society Of Women.

One Of the great benefits a young
man may derive from woman'S
society is that he is bound to be res
pecttul to them. The habit is OF
great good to moral young men, de-
pend upon it. Our education makes
of us the most eminently selfish men
in the world. We fight for ourselves;
we cut the best slice out of the joint
at the club dinners for ourselves !;
we yarn for ourselves, and light our
pipes and say we want to 60 out !;
we prefer ourselves and our ease /;
and the greatest good that comes to
a man from woman's society is that
he has to think Of somebody besides
himselt--somebody to whom he is
bound to be instantly attentive and
respectful. | don't want my dear
Bob to associate with those of the
other sex whom he does rot and
canno, respect; that is worse than
billiards, worse than smoking sell
ishly at home, but l VOW | would
rather see. you turing over the
leaves of Miss Middlecomb's music
book all night than at billiards, or
smoking, or brandy and water.

feet, though it issextremely slender,
even at the top, where it is sur
mounted by an enormous floating
bladder six or seven feet long, which
affords favorite resting-place tolthe

apparently so fabulous as given by
Mertens in an interesting paper on
the botany o. the Russian posses
sions in America, that it could not
be believed did it not depend upon
unquestionable authority. The till-
form stem (Which is about as thick
as pack thread), when two or

From the lands where no bark had been

But the summer passed by, ana spr1nS wore

And my vessel returned not, alas, to the

At length one dark autumn it came back to

But its masts were all broken, its bows were

Its bulwarks We're covered with growth of the

And the figure of Hope was no longer there;
While it brought me for freight but the drift

inmate. leaves, mostly rising on five
petioles. These leaves are lanceolate
and membraDaceous, from one to
two feet long, and two inches broad
in the center. AS the plant grows
older, the stem increases enormously
in length, but only slightly in thick
ness. The globose bladder swells
into turnip- shaped or retort-like
cylinder, six feet long and four feet
six inches or more in diameter in
the widest part, the lower extremity
gradually passing into the stem.
The leaves, which at first were
marked with a few faint nerves, split
in the direction of the latter, cover
large space by their entangled mass,
and attain length OF twenty-seven
feet or more. Where the plant
grows in any quantity the surface OF
the sea becomes impossible to boats,
in consequence OF the dense floating
masses OF vegetation. The stem is
employed for fishing lines when dry,
and the large cylinder is used as
siphon for draining water out Of
boats, in the same way that another
seaweed-the EcklOaai0 6ucciaodlis-
is used frequently at the Cape.

in white, but looked every inch a
Queen. She was dignified, but at
the same time easy in her manners.
Her figure exquisitely proportioned,
her arms and shoulders were beauti>
fully moulded; her features were
classical, her profile delicate and dis.
tinguished, her complexion fair and
lovely beyond description, her cheeks
softly chiselled, and her nose, that
difficult feature, was straight and
Grecian in form. Certainly no other
court in Europe could have produced
a woman of greater elegance or more
accomplished manners than the
American Queen OF the Irish court.
While the Marchioness of Welles-
ley was presiding over Dublin Castle,
the attention of the whole American
people was turned toward her grand
father as the last survivor of the sign
ers of the Declaration of Independ-
ence, who, like the books of the Sibyls,
increased in value as they decreased
in numbers On the morning of the
Fourth of July, 1926, only three re-
manned Of the original fifty-six--John
Adams, Thomas Jefferson and
Charles Carroll. AT the very time
when millions OF tree men were cele-
brating the jubilee OF their country's
independence, and pronouncing with
reverential lips the names OF these
three, John Adams and Thomas JET
terson died, leaving Charles Carroll
the only. survivor. Upon the next
anniversary of the Fourth OF July
banquet was given at Charleston,
South Carolina, at which Bishop
England proposed toast, "CharIes

from which his grandfather fed in
terror, his granddaughter now reigns

"A Bad Habit


The young man who shirks his
duties as often as possible, never sue
ceeds in life. You may set it down
at once, that sooner or later he will
be a drone in the great hive Of
human industry, living without any
purpose in lite, and scorned by all
who have willing hands, and follow
up whatever they can fud to do.
Young men, if you want to gain the
confidence and esteem OF your en-
ployer, never shrink from duty, 1t
overtasked, lay in your complaints,
and you will always get "a hearing.
If you begin life shlrk, the habit
will follow you, and instead of a
success" you will be an utter tail
ure." And there are quite enough
failures in the world already.
