all right that man BY 90 or 25 shoult

can not stick pin down in liter
AZURE. but l come upon tho praise Of
woman; and it is not for me to say it is
no: all deserved. Let me give you a
taste OF my collection of nice things
Martin Luther said: Earth has moth
ing moro tender than woman's heart
when it is the abode Of pity" Niche
let said. woman is the Sunday Of
man; not his repose only, but his joy
the salt of his life" That Is little
mixed as figure. allow. but Mr. Niche
let meant well. and when one is in love
he can not help getting little Hurried.
At least it is so with women. John
Adams said: 'All that am my moth
er made me-" Lord Lansdowne sail:
elf the whole world were put into one
scale. and my mother into the other,
the werld would kick the beam"
like that, because of all things am
sure the very best is noble mother.
The Arabs say: Zone may get hun
dred wives, but he can never get but
one mother; therefore a mother is
equal to hundred wives" But Leo
pod Schefer has it better yet, when he
says: But one thing on earth is bet
ter than the wife. that is tho mother"
However. the wife gets enough praise,
md need not be jealous. n. L. Willis
said. AS swectly as he said all things:
''The sweetest thing in life is the un-
clouded welcome of wife," Richter,
that is, the divine Jean Paul, said: mo
man can either live piously, or die
righteous, without wife," Emerson
said: "a beautiful woman is practical
poet. tanning her savage mate, planting
tenderness, hope and e.oquence in all
she approaches" 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: IF
woman lost us Eden. such as she alone
restores it!' Voltaire said: at is
woman who teaches us repose. civility
and dignity" Ruskin says 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 ami socially. or has
speedily decayed. Leasing said: "Na-
ture meant to make woman its MASTER
piece" Confucius, 1900 years ago,
said: woman is the worlds MASTER
piece" But Malherbc spoke the minds |
of all Frcnchmen when he said:
''There are only two beautiful
things in the world-women and roses;
and only two sweet ,hings-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, in claiming the |
superiority of our sex to the other. In
truth each has what the other HIS not |
One completes the other. and they are
in nothing alike. The happiness of
both depends on each asking and re-
ceiving from the other what the other
only can give" Thackeray drew this
contrast: almost all women will give
a sympathizing hearing 10 men who
are in love. Be they ever so old. they
grow young again in that CONVERSE
ton. and renew their own early time.
Men are not quite so generous. Vol
taire said: "All the reasOnings of men
are not worth one sentiment of wo-
men," Gladstone says: woman is
the most perfect when the most wo-
manly" DR.. Clarke snys: "Man is
not superior to woman. nor woman to
man. The relation of The sexes is one
of equality; not of letter and worse,
or OF higher and lower. The Hottest
ideal OF humanity demands that each
shall be perfect in its kind. and not be
in its best work. The lily is not
inferior to the rose. nor the oak supe-
rior to the clover; yet the glory of
the lily is one. and the glory of tn.
oak is another; and the use OF the oak
is not the use of the clover"
woman. says another writer. must
be regarde | as woman. not as monde
script animal. with greater or les, ca
pacity for assimilation to man." DR..
Clarke says. again: Educate man
for manhood. = woman for woman

Williams said: ''WOman is Prede,t-

fed. and wears tha. Golden c ain rs
