wise woman does not live by bread aone-nay.
nor by the richest cake She, too, must have
hope, something to live for, something she NAV
look to accomplish for herself or others in Gods
world of work, ere her night shall fall" A Hndoo
lady, lately speaking at a meeting in India, COM
pared Mary Carpenters beneicent existence to
river bearing fertility to many lands, while the life
of woman in the Zenana, she said, resembed
rather pond. Surely every woman worthy of the
name, would desire to be something more than
pool were it only little, trckling rill But in
endless cases she is damned up on all sides, and
none the less effectualy that the soft mud of
affectionate prejudice form the dam.
The effect of education is more and more to
specialize human effort. Society is being organ
lied in every department, and there is given to
every man his work. The work of guiding the
home, and caring for and training the children has
been left loosely upon womans hands. 1t, too,
needs to be organized. The mothers time should
not wholly be required by the of her children,
especially by the care of their material wants She
should have leisure and freedom at times and in
abundance to look upon the varied interests of life
and even If she so desire, to take part in some of
the activities of life other than care for food and
raiment, and order for her household. How best
to attain this end, how to guide the home without
losing hold on all other interests, how to bring up
family and not drop all the accomplishments and
special occupations which were the delight of girl
hood and youth, how to continue to grow mentally
and spiritually in wisdom and in power, while at
the same time filling the lofty position of a mother
at home; how far the pursuit of specialties are
compatible with mothers cares and how they
may be made more compatible, how the broad ed
ucaton of today may be best utilized to enrich the
home; these are the problems which press upon
the women of today, and in this solution we shall
learn how to make cheerful, and strong and happy
the heart of the mother at home.

The wedding of Miss Ada Leigh to the Bishop
of Ontario was marked by unique features. I
have never heard before of Bishops bride with
ready-made family of forty children. l hasten to
add that the two score little ones were all adopted.
Those of them who were of an age to behave
themselves in church were present at the ceremony
which transformed their benefactress into q bish-
opess [ never saw more charming tots in my
life. All of them were little girls Blue was the
color of their frocks, their cloaks and hoods. The
bride did not wear VEIL She is not graceful, but
a singularly gracious person, comely and pleasant
to behold The Bishop of Ontario is to be con-
graduated upon having such bishopess. The
little girls in blue fell in sort of procession be-
hind the bride. She was very composed. The
bridegroom seem to make point of uttering his
part of the marriage words very distinctly and was
audible at some distance off The Bishop of
Quebec curtae( the services. Watched when he
was prompting the bride for the word "obey,"
but did not hear it. In his place | am sure l
should have left it out. vote for this part of
matrimonial ceremonies being done away with 1t
was all very we'll for women in early Christian
times to be classed with oxen, asses and other
chattes that may properly to be sold and be-
slowed, but in this time of free and independent
girhood its absurdty takes from the dignity OF the
marriage.

Bits of Old World Gossip.

Henry Labouchere contributes to the Post-Dis-
patch the following bits of Old World gossip along
with some ideas upon the marriage service and the
old-fashioned word ''obey:"
The second drawing-room, which was to have
been held by the Princess of Wales in the middle
of next month, will be held by the queen herself
early in April probably on Wednesday, the 10Th.
The Crown Prince Rudoph's debts amount to
$2 900 900, although he had an income of $1,000
year and the palaces and country places cost him
nothing. Where the money went to nobody
knows, while great deal of the princes jewelry
of which he had very large and valuable collec-
ton, has disappeared.
A rumor has reached me from Paris that the
Grand Duke Peter Nicoaievitch OF Russia
Younger son of the Grand Duke Nicholas Nico-
laievitch, and who IS first cousin of the car, is
coming to England shortly with view of becom-
inc the husband of one of the daughters of the
Prince of Wales. Prince Peter was born in jan
uarv, 1864
The German emperor seems to be imbued with
the most Spartan notions OF parental discipline.
The crown prince, aged 6, and his brother Frede-
rick, aged 5, have only an hour and halfs recre-
alton during the day. Every morning the hapless
heir gets up at 6, begins his studies at 7, is drilled
daily alone and afterwards goes through certain
military exercises with his brothers. The result
of this system of all work and no play is likely, |
should think, to be that the children will turn out
either to be prigs of the first water or imbeciles
If there is such thing in Germany as a society
for the protection of children, | should strongly
advise it to institute prosecution against the en-
peror for wanton cruelty.

A Pertinent Question.

EDITOR OF WoMAN's CHRONICLE: AS | have been
for some time regular reader and an ardent adj
mrer of your spirited little paper, have noticed
that you are quite well informed respecting the
''woman's movement in the past, therefore my
curiosity has prompted me to present for your
consideration question of the present reaching
to the future
First, should women become eligible to seat
in the legislative halls which will be the most ex
pensive to the State, living or dead member?
Will woman in the coffin be entitle salary for
weeks or months after she has passed into the
"Great Beyonp?" If dead woman becomes
thus valuable to the State, will you continue her
an official and save the additional wear and tear
and expense of new elections? Will your surviving
officials show their appreciation of relief from an
incumbent, who thus gives more time and oppor-
tunity to them, by lavishing on her dust the often
hard earned tax fund paid into the public treasury,
at their demand, by their laboring sisters who
have not been so fortunate as to be able to dip
hands into that treasury by word Of mouth? Or,
more plainly putting it., if one of your members
pays the "debt of nature" while in office, will
you order $500 pauper's funeral, or So pine
coffin at public expense?
have noticed while reading the pros and cons
an objection like this to woman filling such an office
during such an extended session. ''She would
need, or think she did, such an elaborate ward
robe that her huge Saratoga would prove such an
incumbrance" Has not recent developments
weakened that argument, nasmuch as the Saratoga
instead of gripsack might save the State the ex-
pense and her the humiiating thought that, should
an emergency arise for change of underwear, or
if genteel suit were needed, she would be pre-
pared without seemingly being provided for as
pauper with an outfit at the States expense
CURIOSITY

"The Heart of the Home"
From the Woman's Magazine.l

From the Womans Magaznel
Whether the individual or the family is the unit
of the State, is question which will probably be
discussed with much vigor and earnestness, for
some time to come; but that the home is the con-
servator of society, is questioned by none. That
instinct of the human heart which makes man
seek to locate certain spot where he shall estab-
fish his hearth and the sum of his possessions, is
next to human affection, the most powerful for
good to humanity. No nomadic race ever attained
to high degree of civilization. Location, per-
manence, is necessary to that repose of heart and
life, without which lfe's Best things cannot take
root, and grow and blossom and bear fruit. Most
of all is this permanence and repose necessary for
the growth and right development of the character
of the young-of our children. TO attach them
by the ties of affection to home to make them feel
that it is the happest place on earth, is to insure
for them, almost with certainty, useful and vir-
tuous life. A boy or girl who loves best of all
to be at home, cannot 60 far astray
The mother is the heart of the home and to her
hand is given, in an especial degree, its keeping.
By this we do not mean to encourage or rehash
the old plattudes about domesticity, and keeping
at home, which we have heard ad nauseam. We
mean, however, to state and to emphasize this
truth; the first condition to happy home is a
happy wife and happy mother. tits not enough
that wife and mother be faithful and self-sacri-
fcing, and domestic and kind, and good house.
keeper, and all that. She must be happy, or the
home will fall short of its ideal and possibilities.
1t is the common complaint against women now-a-
days, that they are restless If not exactly dis
satisfied, they are at least far from knowing repose
of spirit in their home life. Is there any more
common condition or complaint among women Of
education, in their homes today, than that are al
ways pursued by sense of incompleeness in their
work? They complain Of themselves; they work
hard, but accomplish no satisfactory result; they
long; they aspire; they expend mental force in
simply beating the air. How differently they are
affected by their work from the way in which men
are affected by theirs, is patent to every observers
and while this restlessness this uncertainty as to
the way in which they shall expend their efforts
remains, women cannot be happy.
Frances Power Cobbe, in an article on the "Lit-
tie Health of Ladies'" which attracted universal
attention, relates of lecture by DR.. Bridges
given at the Royal Institution, concerning the la
boring and pauper class that one remark was re-
ceived with emotion by the audience. He said,
''NIan does not live by bread alone, he must have
bo,o Tho 1vrtar odds. HMaV we not saw like

AVER TWENTY YEARS OF MEN AND WOMEN GOVERNMENT
Samples of water from bubbling springs;
Samples of women with bright wedding rings;
Samples of children, happy and bright;
Samples of maidens, beautiful sight;
Samples of men, escorting their wives
The pets of their bosoms; the pride Of their lives.
Samples of men, with eyes bright and clear;
Samples of noses, with no symptoms of beer,
There are no men in the cutters rolling at night,
And no delirum tremens, a terrible sight;
There are no broken noses, or cases of gout
But the doctors elbows are hopelessly out.
No samples of men fighting and swearing;
For all men are happy, contented, forbearlng;
The streets are quiet by common consent,
The jails are empty and labeled "For Rent"
There are samples of constables spelling forfees,
And samples of squires out at their knees
Samples of awyers drumming for jobs,
with trousers threadbare and empty watch fobs.
These few uckless fellow must seek new vacations,
More popular jobs, and more useful stations;
And then we can count, by the week. month and year,
When the long sought millennium will surely appear

Some Samples Existing After 1900 Years
of the Rule of Christian Man,

Samples of wine and samples of beer
Samples OF all kinds of liquor sold here;
Samples of whisky, samples of gin,
Samples of all kinds of liquor. Step in.
Samples of ale and porter and brandy
Samples as large as you please and quite handy;
Our samples are pure and also you'll find
Our customers always genteel and refined;
For gentlemen know when they've taken enough
And never partake of the common stuff.
Besides these samples within you know,
There samples without of what they can do;
Samples of headache, samples of govt;
Samples of coats with the elbows out;
Samples of boots without heels or toes,
Samples of men with broken nose
Samples of men in the gutter lying;
Samples of men with delirium dying;
Samples of men earousng and swearing;
Samples of men all evil and daring;
Samples of lonely tired men,
Who long in vain for their freedom again;
Samples of old men worn in strife:
Samples of young men tired of life;
Samples of ruined hopes and lives
Samples of desolate homes and wives;
Samples of aching hearts grown cold
With anguish and misery untold;
Samples of noble youth in disgrace,
Who meet you with averted face;
Samples of hungry little ones,
Starving to death in their dreary homes;
In fact there is scarcely woe on earth
But those samples" have nurtured or given birth.
