This Is the definition That Dab
in her ''Bright Babble' gives of til,
woman Of the world:
Do yeu know what a women O
the world is?
The woman Of the world is one
who considers what you like, and
attempts, for her own comfort, 81
well as yours, to give it to you.
She Ia the one whose manners
are always perfect, and who does
not offend you by gushing or freez-
ing.
She Is the one whose gowns at
tract 20 notice unless by their alb
solute suitability
She is the one who can be friend.
ly without abeing familiar, and who
can repel without snubbing.
She is the one who refralns from
saying malicious things, not only
because it will ruin the shape OF
the mouth, but because they are in
as bad taste as swearing.
She is the one who knows how to
be most digoiGed at dinner table,
and yet who can enjoy a lark at
supper-time.
She lie the one who always makes
you feel at ease with yourself and
the rest of the world.
Shells the one who, If slowed

She Is the one who can make or
der come where disorder has been
regnant and put everything and ev-

be.
She is the one who is never un-

with whom it is delight to associ-

make life smoother, but by greater
and higher beliefs than are credited
TO her.
She is the one whom it is well

Wit and Wisdom.

Age is not always a criterion Of
ability, for many man of thirty
can ''lie like sixty"
1t Is the sins OF other people
that self-appointed reformers make
the most fuss about.
1t is the man continually cramp-
ed who finds difficulty in keeping
his head above water.
The line dividing genuine help
fulness from downright meddle-
sonaeness is, sometimes, very mar
row.
Accepting ourselves for what VIC
are and making the best possible
use nj what we have is sure Sc
cret OF happiness.
A Frenchman recently rem ark ed
that every one in this world was
obliged to bear his cross, but the

"0nr Bob at the University

The Governor chose thanksgiv-
ing day-to pay his annual visit to
the University of Tennessee this
year. 1t was q disageeeable day
out of doors, but exceedingly agree
able in doors. Til. military exer
cises were dispensed with and the
cadets and officers of the Universi-
ty assembled In the Chapel. The
Governor accompanied oy Capt,
Frank Smith, Supt. of Public Iu-
struction, Judge Chas. s. Nelson,
OF Washington, and Maj. w. Glide
well, Of Robertson, were escorted to
the rostrum by the President and
faculty, while the cannon outside
were firing the salute.
After the firing had ceased DR..
Dabney introduced the Governor
and said that, as the weather was
so bad that we could not entertain
him with military exercises tina. be
had agreed to entertain us.
Gov. Taylor rose amid great ap-
plause and, after thankinfi DR.. Dab
ney he stated that he would speak
OF "Old times in TENNESSEE" He
said that Tennessee had the softest
skies, the tellest mountains, the
bravest men and the prettiest girls,
more Majo'a and Colonies and
fewer private citizens and more pol
iticians to the square inch than any
ether state. lie touched on all the
importan!aht producte of the state
and described the old muskets,
dwelling-houses, school-hous es
and school children etc. of former
times. His speech was sparkling
with that wit which only he knows
how to express, and was iull OF
pleasant instruction.
He was followed by Capt. Smith
and Judge Nelson who made few
pointed remarks and then after al
lowing oil the cadets to be intro
duced to tue Government, the en-
tire assembly adjourned to the
Stewards Hall whe they sat down
to sumptuous repast. Thus ended
one Of the most pleasant daps ever
experienced at the University.

The Jesults in Africa.

''The Jesuit,'' said Lord Macaulay in
the wonderful piece of word painting in
which he describes the labors of the
Society of Jesus, was to be found,
spade in hand. teaching the rudiments
of agriculture to the savages of
Paragua." The Jesuit Fathers IN the
Zambezi Mission are renewing the
wonders of the famous Reductions.
They are engaged in the same task as
their brethren in Old Paraguay, and
endeayoring to induce tie natives to
relinquish the pickaxe for the plough.
But this is the least part of their work:
perfecting themselves in the language,
translating books, caring for the sick
and instructing children, are the prin-
cipal duties which occupy their atten-
ton. With the native children they
have achieved wonders: to quote the
words of one of the missionaries,
''Manv almost know by heart in their
own language the Pater, the Ave, and
the Creed. They sing also a native YER
sion of the Ave Maris Stella and the
Litany of Loteto very we'll" The
Jesuirs have always been the pioneers
of civilization and Christianity. In
their foreign missions they first make
the savages men, and then make the
men Christians.

The New States and the Flag.

The Century for June: There is, per-
haps, technical question whether the
admission OF the new States is so far
accomplished by the mere enabling Act
that their representative stars may
properly be placed on the flag for the
approaching Fourth Of July. 1t is not
probable, however, that the question
viii eyer assume any practical import
ance. The older States Of the Union
will not be apt to cavil on points of
etiquette in the welcome with which
they meet their new sisters, OF to Sickle
on the exact location of the threshold.
The field of forty-two stars may not be
legal for Federal agencies until next
year, but there is assuredly nothing
illegal in the prior recognition by States
and private persons Of the practical re-
lations Of the new States to the remain
der of the Union. Such a recognition
would be at the worst but a brief and
passing irregularity; aud that is hardly
to be placed in the scale opposite to the
comfy of States. The fortunate design
of our national flag enables the older
States to signalize at once the cordially
with which they add to the roll of their
sisterhood the names Of North Dakota,
South Dakota, Montana, and Washing
ton.
