EN-. There is clergy
man in st. Paul, however, who can tes-
tify to the contrary. The minister of
God in question is eminently practical
in his Christianity, and in driving along
our streets or between the Twin Cities
frequently takes into his carriage
poor wretches much the worse for
strong drink. His wife. fortu-
nately, is in perfect accord with his
charitable spirit, and uncomplainingly
will make room by her side for speci-
men of humanity that the majority of
women would not touch with ten-foot
pole. Her only objection to her hus-
bands course is the fear that he may
some day meet. not all angel, but

Men as Wom- 1t was GEORGE ELIOT
who asserted tender
ems Tutors. ness is an attribute of
mans soul only. 1t is
strength clothed in gentleneSS-the
noble belittling of power to delight and
diSarm the fears of the weak. Nowhere
is mans tenderness more beautifully
displayed than in the consideration he
ever shows for the intellect of woman.
When man wants to tell a woman any
thing he invariably begins at A, B. G,
and generously refuses to lead ner poor
brain dance farther than to the end OF
the primer, If she then shows dispo-
Sition to go OH into the Second der,
and even to take a course in "'riting
and 'rithmetic," besides, he expert
ences all the sensations of lion caught
up by the neck in the teeth of one of his
own cubs. Get a man to talk politics to a
woman, and he is one mush of
tenderness. The way he handles
the delicately structured intellect into
which he is to force a few drops
of general information gives a woman

ment of her. and that she is such
precious fool that, unless she wraps her
brain in cotton batten, some day, when
an original idea strikes her head, it will
go to pieces like so much glass. A sue

one morning last week, to enlighten a
young woman eager to know something
of the workings of the pending campaign.
The sum and substance of what he
told her was that aSpirantS for office
are being nominated this year before
they are elected; that if they are not
elected they are beaten, and that If they
are beaten they are not elected. The
young woman retired from her instruc-
tor confident that, if she doesn't know
now who made her, God can tell her
when she is educated up to the point OF
comprehending the intelligence. A
college professor, recently invited to
read a paper on the surplus before a
society of women here, hest
tated to respond at first, say
ing he feared they would not
understand it; and then he finally
agreed to make an effort to put up his
wisdom in picture blocks, or some such
attractive form that might fix the atten-
ton if it did not penetrate the under
standing of his hearers. Verify, it is a
wise woman who remains a fool.
Armed by her own ''silly little ways"
and protected by his tenderness, she
exercises a power over man she can
never hope to attain over any other
beast of the field, nor to hold over him
