Mr.. Raymond, to Mr.. Grays 'graat
relief, said IL would be impossible for him
to go on the proposed trip, owing to un-

Gray, in an off hand manner proposed
that as Frank could not 60, they should

he.

How A WOMAN READS A NEWspA-
pER.-According to Mrs. Gertrude Garr-
son this is how she does it: She takes it
up hurriediy and begins to scan 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 believes, were put in the out
ofthe-way places for the sake of keeping
her from seeing them. AS she finishes
each one of them her countenance
brightcns with the comfortable reflection
that she has outwitted the editor and the
whole race of men, for she cherislics a
vague belief that newspapers are the
enemies Of her sex, and editors her chief
oppressors. She never reads the head
lines, and the huge telegraph heads she
rever sees. She is greedy for local news,
Ind devours it with the kecnest relish.
Marriages and deaths are always inter-
esting reading to her, and advertisements
are very 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 for
gets then;. She pays particular attention
to anything enclosed in quotation marks,
and considers it rather better authority
than anything first handed. The col
umns in which the editor airs his Opin-
ions, in loaded hifalutn, she rarely reads.
Views are of no importance in her esti
nation, but facts are everything. She
generally reads the poetry. She doesn't
always care for it, but makes u practice
Of reading it, because she thinks she
oughttO. She reads stories, and sketches,
and paragraphs indiscriminntoly, and he
lieyes every one of thom. Finally, after
she has read all she intends to, she lays
the paper down with an air of disap-
pointment, and a half contemptuous ges-
ture, which says very plainly that she
thinks all newspapers miserable failures,
but is certain that If she had chance
she could make tho only perfect news
paper the world had ever seen.

PUTTING HIMsELF In HER PLACE.
An English Story.

Mrs. Gray stood looking out Of the
window, while her husband put on his
hat ard gloves, preparatory to going into
spread table, and the room WIS neatly
and tastefully furnished. There was no
indication of poverty there, yet Mrs.
Gray's voice ind manner were faltering
as she asked for some postage stamps.
Glow many ?" asked her husband,
curtly.
"Three will do. / thought I would
write to mother and the girls"
"Did you ever reckon up, my dear, how
much you spend for postage stamps in the
course of the year 7" asked Mr.. Gray, as
he lit his fragrant cigar. "Well, let Us
see. You write Mt least five letters a
week, which is fivepencc, and fifty.two
times five are twenty.one shillings and
eightpencca year, to say nothing Of paper
and envelopes. / haven't correspon-
dent in the world, outside my business"
"Your friends, !" said his wife, Give
near you, while mine are in another
county. Do you wish me to give up
writing to them?"
And her face took an extra tinge of
color
"By no means. l only mentioned the
cost of the thing. But I must go. Good.

"Can you leave me n sovereign? I

in astonishment. "What on earth can
you want with sovereign"
