from contentmont and happiness, that every
one should he educated to take in or shut out
sounds according TO his pleasure.
II a man falls into violent passion and
calls US all manner Of names, at the first word
we should shut our ears and hear no more.
If, in our quiet voyage Of life, we find our
selves caught in one of those domestic whirl-
winds of scolding, we should shut our ears AS
a sailor would furl his sail, and making all
tight, scud before the gale II a hot and
restless man begins to inflame our feelings,
we should consider what mischief these fiery
sparks may do in our magazine below, where
our temper is kept, and instantly close the
door.
If, as has been remarked, all the petty
things said Of one by Needless or i'll natured
idlers were to be brought home to him, he
would become q mere walking pincushion,
stuck full of sharp remarks. If we would be
happy, when among good men we should
open our ears when among bad men, shut
them. 1t is not worth while TO hear what
our neighbors say about our children, what
our rivals say about our business, our dress
or our affairs.
The art of not hearing, though untaught in
our schools, is by no means Impractical in
society. We have noticed that well bred
woman never hears a vulgar or impertinent
remark. 4 kind of discreet deafness saves
one from many insults, from much blame,
from not a little connivanco in dishonorable
conversation. Treasure Trovo.

All About Cat,

| Along last summer the meanest cat OF
| earth turned up at the editorial manor.
| She was female. She would yell fol-
| grub In voice full of eloqueuce OF
| starvation. She was not fastidious. She
would eat anything she could swallow
| She would eat until she was 50 full that she
suffered untold miseries from indigestion
| In these paugs she would sit and howl til
the whole neighborhood had paroxysm
| Full or empty, she never forgot 10 howl
| She would spit and scratch ~ everybody
| that approached her. She was subject tC
| fits, in the spasms of which she would
carry on worse than aschoolhoy speaking
The Maniac" We hired boy for ten
cents to drown her. He left us on sad
| summer evening with the cat in his arms.
| Tue cat was bowling on the porch the
| next morning. We didn't see the boy
for week His face was just beginning to
heal, and he said he thought he would be
well In month, After this many other
boys were hired. but the cat always got
back, 'and the boys seldom did. They
never came back for another job. The
trouble we had with that cat would break
some hearts square in two. She ate up
| the neighbor's chickens. She drank the
milk left by the milkman on the neigh,
boring doorsteps. Recently our woes
somehow leaked out among the students
of the Collegiate. They offered to immo'
late her on the altar of science. Main
street basked in an odor of chloroform all
one day. We have suspicion that they
| drowned her in vat of chloroform. This
was more than two weeks ago The cat
has not returned. We have deferred re.

hour because in daily expectation of be>

The Education Of Girls.

The education, the life Of today's women,
has untitled them to be mothers, but the
education of today's girls is bringing them tc
womanhood more perfect specimens of their
kind, physically as well as mentally, strong
and healthy in mind and body, able to endure
the suffering of motherhood; willing to give
a few years of life to producing new life,
reasoning with well developed faculties how
to make that new life stronger and more fit
to take yet another step forward
Nothing is moro marked in our progress
than awakening to the need of less combining
clothing for the body, less combining life for
the physical strength, less combining educa-
ton for the mind. Little use is there to dis
cuss the relative weight and size of the mas
culine and feminine brain. No arguments
pro or con can prove anything; those people
of tho latter half of the next century will
know what we can only speculate on, for the
bonds are burst. s. Il. NJ" in Chicago

observation eXplodes. 1t has seemed TO keep
them apart and prevent Independent, straight
forward action. When they begin to get ac-
quainted, as in clubs and societies. the mu-
tual surprise and delight at finding so much
earnestness and sisterly feeling is something
really pathetic Many shy, stiff, narrow

ship and sympathy like a flower brought
from the cellar into the sunshine, and bios
SONS out in a way as surprising to herself as
it is delightful to her friends. Like Gloriana
in one of Mrs. Whitney's stories, she knew
there were good times in the world, but
never expected to be in Them and now she
learns how TO contribute her own share to
them. More than all other means of growth
are these associations, and the influence of
the many acting as the one will be the most
powerful factor in that enlightened woman
hood which will be the salvation of society
