Some Passages From Eminent Authors on
the Relation OF Woman to Man and
the World In General.

the Relation OF woman " m"" IN"
the World In General
II the Bible had said man was made
out of woman's rib ! would believe;
for all things in this world man is
most helpless alone. A chicken two
hours out of the shell can take better
care of itself than man can. So 1t is
all right that man by 20 or % should
be looking around for woman TO take
care of him; and a woman is never per-
mitted to look around for man. The
women do not need to 90 counting. /
am sure there is some mistake in the
transaction. 1t should read that man
was made of a rib of woman.

AZURE. but come upon the praise Of
woman; and it is not for me to say it is
not all deserved. Let me give you a
taste of my collection of nice things.
Martin Luther said: Earth has moth
ing more tender than woman's heart
when it is the abode Of. pity" Niche.
lot said, woman is the Sunday of
man; not his repose only, but his joy
the salt of his life" That is little
mixed as a figure, l allow, but MIR Niche
let meant well, and when one is In love
he can not help getting a little furried.
At least it is so with women. John
Adams said: "All that l am my moth
Ell made me-" Lord Lansdowne said:
'If the whole world were put into one
scale, and my mother into the other,
the world would kick the BEAM"
like that because of all things am
sure the very best is noble mother.
The Arabs say: Zone may get hum
bred wives, but he can never get but
one mother; therefore mother is
equal to a hundred wives" But Leo
pold Schefer has it better yet, when he
says: But one thing on earth is bet
ter than the wife, that is the mother"
However, the wife gets enough praise,
and need not be jealous. N. p. Willis
said, as sweetly as he said all things:
1.-THE sweetest thing in life is the I'M
clouded welcome of wife," Richter,
that is, the divine Jean Paul, said: "No
man can either live piously, or die
righteous, without wife," Emerson
said: IA beautiful woman is a practical
poet, tanning her savage mate, planting
tenderness, hope and e.oquence in all
she approaches" l have, however,
never heard that Mrs. Emerson had
much tanning to do-only she must see
that her mate had his hat on when he
went abroad.
Among the very pretty things said Of
women, Whittier has gwen us this: III
woman lost us Eden, such as she alone
restores it" Voltaire said "lt Is
woman who teaches us repose, civility
aud dignity" Ruskin says a great
many fine things of woman. "Shak-
speare has no heroes; he has only hero
ines" This is always true in ruder,
earlier stage of society. Woman al
ways begins civilization. The honor OF
woman has always been the corner
stone in building society. A race lack
ing respect for woman has never ad-
vanced politically and socially, or has
speedily decayed. leasing said: INA
ture meant to make woman its master
piece" Confucius, 1900 years ago,
said: Woman is the worlds master
piece" But Malherbe spoke the minds
of all Frenchmen when he said:
"Therc are only two beautiful
things in the word-women and roses,
and only two sweet things-women
and melons" This was gallant, but
natural; and it gave woman her true
place as blossom and fruit of nature.
Concerning women and men as
equals Ruskin says: 1--WE are foolish,
and without excuse. il claiming the
superiority of our sex to the other In
truth each has what the other his not.
One completes the other, and they ar.
in nothing alike. The happiness O
both depends on each asking and re
cciving from the other what the othel
only can give" Thackeray drew thi
contrast: almost all women will giv'
sympathizing hearing TO men VIII,
are in love. Be they ever so old, the.
grow young again in that converse
ton, and renew their own early time
Men are not quite so generous Vol
