THE PRIME CAUSES.

Why is it that men SO frequently
rail at women, their slavishness to
fashion and their general frivolty?
They ought to know that women
must take what they find within their
own territory, being barred out from
the world of men.
Some women find in special walks
of life avenues that lead to meeting
their compliments; some step out
from the society of foplings and cour.
ageeusly wed with artisans, mechan-
ics-men beneath them socially, per.
haps, but men of Drawn and brain q
few dare to remain unwedded refus.
ing a mediocre substitute for a poss-
ible perfection.
But the majority find it expedient
to marry, even though the men of &C.
quiercence-not of choice-be in
training, in capability, so utterly
inferior that a resort to the divorce
court is the inevitable result.
And the man who might be all in
all to come fair creature worthy OF
heart and mind ? A voluntary exile
from the companionship of such, he
meets some day a pinky-faced girl,
pours out upon her undeserving head
the treasured ointment of his affection,
finds too late how shallow she is, per-
haps false, and his life is wrecked.
What wonder that he rates all wo-
mankind by her who is the type of
her kind to him!
Nature never makes such mistakes,
nor does the stock raiser /; only men
who have not brains sufficient to ap-
preciate the best interests of themselves
or the world.
Women there are who would gladly
forego society" for any guarantee of
a quid pro quo.
But will q man renounce, even par
tally, his club as well Will he share
with her the burden of his business
complications and let her sympathize
and counsel Or will he let her tact
ignore this and make his home ha.
rem, where she may soothe him with
her finer fancy, touch him With her
finer thought Will he 60 with her
rather than gang Of men to a con-
cert, lecture or play, that both will
enjoy alike? Though she be a skill.
full and willing hand at whist. ecarte,
or billiards, will he not rather pit bis
skill against man of Indifferent abili
ty? And if she care not to chase the
foam on fashions wave, will he not
think and pronounce her guy in her
suitable garb, that yet is not quite
the height of the style :?
These are the failings and inconsist.
encies Of men, and in view of them il
it wondrous that women are vain and
frivolous? that, forced to consume
the fountain of their own tastes and
fancies. confined by a predjudiced Gus.
tom within boundaries that prevent
absorption of new ones, they fail to
rise to the dignities and duties of true
womanhood asd wifehood ? Is it re-
markable that under such conditions
we have increasing marital unhappi.
and IN augmentation Of divorce court
business +?

on A FIsHsRMAN,s HOOK.

HANCOCK, N. Y, Aug. S.-Clark Cable
Of Willowemoe is a hunter and fisher
man. The other day he was fishing in
the Delaware. He hooked a fine club,
but lost IL in raising il from the water.
Boon aftcrward two-pound eel took
the bait, but that slipped of. too. Cable
quit fishing in disgust. On his way
home he discoverel large crane stand
ing in the river Watching for fish
Cable hurried home, got his gun, and
went back 10 kill the crane. He got q
fair sigtt at II at short range, fred. but
missed it. The crane hew slowly away.
Cable said he guessed it wasn't his day
for sport, and went home.
That same night Cable placed q set
line In the river. When he went to il
next morning he saw crane standing
In the water directly over the limo. II
raised to fly, bat something pulled II
back. Cable caught IL. 1t had swal-
0vea one Of his hooks. Further inves-
tgation revealed the fact that the reason
the Crane had swallowed the hook was
because there was two pound eel on 1t
q the time, and tho further fact that a
euspound club had taken the hook be
lore the eel had swallowed it. The ohub
bad been caught ON the bait. The eel
had come along and gobbled the club.
Then th- crane took in the eel and Ca
As took them all In. He insists that
Ne ehub, the eel and the crane are the
Ams ones that he had lost during the
Nsosding day.

TINE BOUNDARY LINE RAILWAYS.

The local House last session passed
two private bills chartering syndicates
to build lines of railway from Nsw
Westminster to the boundary line. As
was pointed out in these columns at the
.time, the tendency of the bills was to
draw traffis from the Canadian Pacific
line aud throw il in the hands of for
eign corporation. Such thing, it was
plain. would not be tolerated at Ottawa.
The House was therefore advised to
pass both bills and leave them to the
tender mercies of the Dominion Gov
ernment. That government has spoken
through Sir Alexander Campbell, who
told the New Westminster board OF
trade that the Canadian Pacific syndi-
cate had spent many millions of dollars
in building q railroad through Canada,
and IL would not be just TO them To al
low traffic, which by right was theirs,
to be tnrned into q foreign channel.
Upon reflection, the remarks of the
Minister Of Justice meet with the ap-
proval of even the promoters Of the bills
in question. The Dominion Govern
ment have acted wisely in disalloving
charters which, had the object of the
promoters been attained, would have
worked decided injury to the Province
a. well as to the transcontiuental rail-
way company.
