Two Kinds of Girls.

There are two kinds of girls. One is the
kind that appears better abroad-the girls
that are good for parties, rides, visits, balls,
ETC., and whose chief delight is in such
things; the other is that kind which APP
pears best at home-the girls that are use
full and cheerful in the dining-room, the
siek-room and all the precincts of home.
They differ widely in character. One is a
moth, consuming everything about her /;
the other is sunbeam, inspiring life and
gladness all along her pathway. Now, it
does not necessarily follow that there shall
be two classes of girls. A slight education
will modify both little and unite their
good qualities in one Catholic Standard.

The Position of Man In Withholding the
Right of Suffrage From Woman.
The New England Woman Suffrage So
ciety recently held its annual meeting,
on which occasion the following was de-
livered by Rev. Charles G. Ames:
woman suffrage is really mans
question as we'll as woman's question.
Men should be interested in it, for a
man should associate with his equals IL
he wishes to preserve his dignity as a
man, just as it is important for States,
II they would hold commercial rela-
tio7s With other nations, to have the
latter as highly civilized as themselves.
Not only is it question of mans dig
nifty, but an intelligent selfshness on
the part of men would demand that
their companions should be their
equals in order that their society may
be enjoyable. A friend OF mine say:

Not Bass Singers.

Mrs. Mary Seymour Howell, of Al
bany, N. Y, recently said: when l
was little girl, | remember that
widow with three young sons who lived
in an isolated spot out side the town,
came into my fathers store one day.
Something brought up the subject of
woman suffrage. and my father said to
her, jokingly: You can't vote, because
you can't saw wood. But | can saw
wood she said. If had not sawed
wood, my children would have been
frozen this winter. Well, then, he
said, you can't vote because you can't
cut down trees But can cut down
trees, she said. If had not gone out
with my little boys and cut down trees
in the forest we should have had no
wood to burn Then finally he said:
We'll, you can not vote because you
can NOT sing bass" Mrs. Howell said
that women did not want to sing bass.
but they did want to join in the great
hymn of liberty which had been sung
too long as a bass solo.

Gladstone considers the Prince of
Wales a shrewd, clever man, who
keeps himself well informed regarding
the topics of the day. He seldom opens

He cut and slashed the corrupt officials
so savagely that he was arrested and

Jail was torn down, and the public. in
appreciation OF the old editor, had a
handsome cane made from one of the
rafters and presented to Barnum as a
memento OF the period.

TOO MUCH MARRYING.
Unsuitable Marriages tho Most Prolific
Up Source OF Trouble,

SOuTCe ot lTVuOics
The truth is-and it is the truth that
many are beginning to realize, nor will
1t be conjured away until all right
minded men and women give it some
serious thought there is too much
marrying and giving in marriage
in the world. BY far the great
err number of young girls of the
present day are raised with the sole
ambition OF ''making a good match,
as if the quintessence OF happiness in
life was to be found in matrimony.
The author is not an 'old maid" to
use the current expression, and she has
no intentions of Boosting when she says
she might try her own experience in
married life did she wish to do so, but
she can assure her readers that no
feeling of ''sour grapes Influenced
her opinion that more unhappiness
results from unsuitable marriages than
from any other evil in existence; that
men and women marrying from the
wrong motives invariably bring afllic-
ton upon themselves and their chill
dren, and that therefore the Hymeneal
flame should not be lighted except un-
der circumstances of peculiar promise.
Men and women should both remain
unmarried until they have reached an
age when intelligence and common
sense prevail over impulse; but even
then let them look carefully into their
own reasons for taking so important
a step. Let them lay their day dreams
aside and face n cold and conventional
reality, and thus, with heart pre-
pared for tho bitter or the sweet, with
mind resolved to make many sacri-
fees and temper inclined only to look
on the brighter side of life, they may
prove TO be the exceptional couple,
and, like the blissful lovers in our
old fairy tales. live long and happily
forever. "-Eunice Stewart in Wash.

NORWEGIAN BEDS.
Their Unparalleled Hardness Is Equaled
Only by Their Smallness.


Only by Their Smallness.
A good bed, clean, well-aired and
neither too hard nor too soft, is
luxury not to be found at every inn. A
traveller In Norway complains feelingly
of the beds OF that country, so hard
and small, and SO poorly made up.
Possibly the people get so weary with
their days work that they have no
need of luxurious couches when night
comes. As hunger is the best sauce,
so sleepiness is the best pillow.
How it has ever come about that the
Norwegian notion OF beds should be
so restricted, am at loss to imagine.
They are simply child's cribs-no
more; rs short as narrow, and in many
instances so narrow that it is impos-
sible to turn over quickly in them
without danger. l have again and
again been suddenly walked, finding
myself just going over the edge. The
making OF them is as queer as the size..
A sort of "bulkhead" small mattress is
slipped in under the head, lifting it up
at an angle admirably suited to an
asthmatic patient who can not breathe
lying down, or to small boy who
likes to coast down hill in his bed of
morning. The single pillow is placed
on this; the short, narrow sheet flung
loosely over it; blanket, ditto; cover
lot, ditto-it may or may not be
straight or smooth. The whole ex-
preston of the bed is as If it had been
just hastily smoothed up temporarily
till there should be time enough to
make it.
In perfect good faith sent for
chambermaid one night, in the early
days of my Norway journey, and made
signs to her that would like to have
my bed made, when the poor thing
had already made it to the very best
OF her ability, and entirely in keeping
with the customs of the country
