Empires Under Female Control.


Pail Mall Gazette: Those who be-
lieve in the necessary and heaven
ordained dominance of man in this
sublunary sphere must be somewhat
puzzled to reconcile with their theory
the fact that for the last quarter of a
century the two greatest Empires in
the world have been under fem ale con-
troll. Never, save in the DAYS of an
other great womAn-queen, has the
British Empire tlourished 80 marvellous
ly as in the reign of Queen Victoria,
and the only phenomenon large enough
to be comparable to the expansion of
England-the revival of China
also been accomplished under the ngis
of a woman. The Empress Regent of
China, who for more than twenty years
has filled the supreme position in the
most populous of Empires, has, how
ever, decided upon resigning the Re-
gency next February, when the young
Emperor, now Is years old, will begin
the administration of affairs. The Chi.
nese woman of so. who has impressed
every one with her wisdom. decision,
and moderation, will disappear from
her exalted post; and it remains to be
seen whether her successor will de-
monstrate the truth of the cry of the
equality of the sexes. That size will
prove the superiority of the male is
hardly to be hoped for, even by such
confirmed misogynists as Mrs. Lynn
Linton herself.

October comes across the hill
Like some light ghost. she 10 90 still,
Though her sweet cheeks are rosy:
And through the floating tnistle-dowa
Her trailing, brier-tsngled gown
CLEANS like . crimson p0sy.
The crickets in the stubble chime;
Lanterns flash out 1T milking time;
The daisy's lost her ruffles; y
The waeps the honeyed pippins try;
A film is over the blue sky,
A spell the river mufies.
The golden-rod fades in the sun;
The spiders gauzy veil IL spun
Athwart the dropping sedges;
The nuts drop softly from their burrs;
No bird-song the dim silence stirs-
A blight is on the hedges.
But filed with fair content is she,
As limo frost could ever be,
Te dim her br Jwn eyes luster:
And much she knows of fairy folk
That dance beneath the spreading oak
With twinkling mirth and buster.
She listens when the dueky eyes
Step softly on the fallen leaves,
As il for message cheering:
And it must be that she can hear,
Beyond November grim and drear,
The feet of Christmas nearing.

tell them how many sons of wealthy
business men in New York were con-

rushing into the professions, to mer-
camille pursuits and clerical positions.
