FOUR OLD POETS.
The Difficulties Under which They Accor
plished Their Life-work.

The Difficulties Under which They Accom-
pIished Their LIfe-work.
Homer lived about thousand years
before the Christian era; his Iliad was
the first great poem written. He lived
nearer the time of the Greek war than
any other author, and it it is right ia
suppose he knew what he was talking
about. Like Milton, this author was
blind, and used TO stand on the street
ard reeite his poems. the fragments OF
which have been gathered up and
handed down to us. Homer was the
model for all the poets who followed
him.
Virgil follows Homer. as to time.
He had liberal education and every
advantage which could promote liter
airy culture; in this he had a better
chance than Homer. His style is more
beautiful and perfect than Homer's,
though he obtained many of his ideas
from him. 1t is said Virgil and Milton
were both plagiarists. but that it was
as honest for these authors to copy the
old writer as it is for sculptor to
copy nature.
Dante was follower and admirer
of both Homer and Virgil. He
studied Virgil closely and has some
thing of his style His Inferno
is very much like Virgil's descrip-
tion of Hades in Book Six of the
Eneid; his style is more thrilling and
real, however. The life of this man
was very sad; he spent nineteen years
in Punishment from the city of his
birth; then his own words became true
of himself:
Thou shalt have proof,
How savoreth OF salt the bread OF others,
And how hard road
The going down and up another's stairs"
Milton was follower of all these
men. and it is said he was the most
classic of English writer's; he was also
d Christian poet.
The lives of all these authors were
much alike, in that each had some
great trouble; it is supposed that
Homer composed his Iliad and his
Odyssey from the memories of his
childhood, after he became blind. Dan
te composed his Divine Comedy while
wandering in exile; his admirers called
it divine, but he called it comedy,
because it had a happy ending. Virgil
wrote during political troubles. and
while enduring long illness; Milton
wrote his Paradise Lost after he be-
came blind.
Therefore, the best part of the life
work of each was accomplished under
difficulties. Treasure IroUe.

The Real "woman Problem"

Recognizing heredity as the distinct
I've attribute of the female sex, it be-
comes clear that it must be from the
steady advance of woman rather than
from the uncertain fluctuations of man
that the sure and solid progress of the
future is to come. The attempt to
move the whole race forward by
elevating the sex that represents the
principle of Instability has long
enough been tried. The many cases of
superior men the sons of superior
mothers, coupled with the many more
cases of degenerate sons of superior
sires, have taught us over and over
again that the way to civiIize the race
Is to civ1lize woman. And now, thanks
to modern klszSgic science, we see why
this is so. Woman is the unchangmg
trunk of the great genealogic tree,
while man, with all his vaunted supe-
riority, is but the branch, a grated
scion, as it were, whose acquired quail
ities die with the individual, while
those of woman are handed on to
futurity. Woman is the race, and the
race can be raised up only as she is
raised up. There is no fixed rule by
which Nature has intended that one
sex should excel the other, any more
than there is any fixed point beyond
which either can not further develop.
True science teaches that the
education of woman is the only sure
road to the evolution of man.-Prof
Lester r. Ward, in Forum.

A physician of Syracuse says that
one of the strangest cases that have
come under his observation in prac-
tice is Syracuse young lady who Is
addicted to the habit of chewing
cloves. For several years her friends
and physicians have been fighting to
break her of habit which she carries
to such an excess that her life will be
the penalty paid. At times she breaks
herself of the habit for a few weeks,
but sooner or later goes back to it
with renewed energy. She has been
known to chew a pound of them with
In three days. All the chemists have
been warned not to give her the spice,
and many of the grocers also, but she
manages somehow to supply herself
with it in spite of the watchfulness and
precautions of her family. The effects
of the excessive use of the spice re-
sembles somewhat the effect of opium,
and her sense of taste has been wholly
destroyed by it.-N y. World

The custom Of English royal families

The royal family, although surrounded
