had been classmates in college met after years of
separation, by mutual consent. After some time
spent in social converse it was proposed that each
should relate his experience for the benefit of The
others. 1t was found that although some of them
had been eminently successful in the line of life
they had essayed; that the world had not been
revoutionized by their efforts that none had been
Milton, Socrates, a Shakespeare, or Herschel
in embryo. True they had been the better
fitted for lifes responsibilities by the training and
discipline received at school, but they had followed
in the steps of their predecessors had married and
made homes for themselves, as their fathers had
done before them. Juust SO it will be with woman.
No matter how good the education given her, the
love of home and the God-ghen love of family
ties will not become secondary in her nature.
She may fail to realize her brightest dreams of
domestic bliss, and then the education received
may lead her into other channels where she will
find contentment if not happiness.
THE editress of the Woman's Penny Paper
London publication, is a true lover of her sex.
She and her staff work together on the most friend
ly terms. Not only are all the articles written by
women but the compositors are women, the office
boy is woman, and so the janitor and teleg-
rapher. The editress has but one name for her
statf-dear. The assistant editor Is called my
DEAR but the rest of the help answer to plain and
simple, but sweet and short, "dear.' At home
the Penny editress employs a maid-of-a-work,
woman to cook and two ''lady helps' in the "pre-
servery," who put up the jellies, jams, MARINA
ladies' and fruit buffers, from which she realizes
half the profits of her journalistic work. Dis
gusted with the laziness and general worthessness
of her gardeners she advertised for female labor,
and an avalanche of horticultural loveness swept
down upon her. Many of the applicants for the
position of gardener were daughters of clergymen.
She made her selection and has since openly de-
cared that women make the best gardeners in the
feld.-Arkansas Gazette.
Well done, Gazettel We always believed you
would at some time (even if it is when in the "sere
and yellow eaf,) recognize the great truth that
women are capable of great things, and are more
versatile than men. We feel very certain that in
the whole number of your large exchange list you
cannot produce one man who can make himself
useful in one-half of the occupations that you say
the edltress of the Penny Paper adorns
What if she does ''dear" her employees, instead
Of calling them by unholy names, as is sometimes
done by employers Of the male sex.
And why should she not show preference for
tboeo 90 bor ou,n in lilo n,onror od;torc
of papers run by men2 And who knows but that
the fact that she can use the short, sweet 'dear'
to the one, while she cannot to the other without
impropriety may not be one of her chief reasons
for her choices of her own sex. And why should
her boy (deviD not be girl? Do you pretend
to claim a monopoly on devils for the male half of
h,,raaaitx and cIaim Ihat cnnld NOT eyist in
