that the owner of it is bound to make his

This is a land where poverty
is no serious impeachment to advancement.
Very few of our millionaires were born
with golden spoons in their mouths: and
several of the most distinguished of our
statesmen earned their bread in early life
by the most humble occupations. In this
favored land, Fortunes gifts are wrung
from her by heads and hearts that know
no such word as fail. Fame has no special
favor for the silk stocking class Aristotle
says that action is the essence of oratory;
but more true it is that energetic viii is the

The unmarried female Briton has fresh
cause for complaint. As if it were not

against her the Indian matrimonial market,
which was fast becoming her only hope.
This ungallant officer strongly urges

He declares them to be as good, or better,
than the Anglo-Saxon female, pretty, and
with docile dispositions: and above all,
with strength and willingness to bear
many children-the sine qua non of an
English husbands happiness.
Speaking of our cousins across the water,
there is in London a corporation, composed
Of men and women, called 1.-THE Ladies'
Residential Dwelling Company" This
has already erected several
dwelling houses for the use of educated
women who are compelled TO earn their
own living and to live in lodgings, and
a block of these dwellings is now
in contemplation. The buildings are
in sets of flats which rent from
3. 80 to $3.50 per week, or from 60 to e5 per
month. There is cooking range set in |
each suite, but there is also large general !
dining room connected with each house in |
which dinner is served after the work of |
the day is finished.
ssThere are twenty-eight women serving |
in London as poor-law guardians. More |
than three hundred English women have |
pursued the study Of medicine and gone to |
India to practice it. The Ouerland Mail |
says: "In India lady doctors are now ia !
niliar to us; and although at first they |
we're somewhat ridiculed by those who |
could not appreciate their value, they are |
fast making their presence felt for good in |
every corner of the land"
If you want to send fresh cut flowers |

way: Cover the stems with moist cotton |
and pack them closely in tin cans. Place
over all layer of wet cotton, seal them |
lightly, and when opened-after weeks of
keeping, they will be found fresh as when
first picked.
