plants the seninate blossoms die earliest and
are produced ON the weaker limbs. Female
quadrupeds have moro endurance than males.
In tho human race, despite the intellectual
and physical strength of the man, the woman
endures longest, and viii bear pain 10 which
the strong man suocumbs. Hymotac diseases
are more fatal to males, and more mafe
children die than females.
Deverga asserts that the proportion dying
suddenly is about 100 women TO 80 men; ,oS0
men in the United States in 1870 committed
suicide to 2S5 women. Intemperarce, apo
plexy, govt, hydrocephalus affections Of the
heart and liver sscrofula and paralysis arc far
more fatal to males than females. Pulmon-
airy consumption, ON the other hand, is more
deadly to the latter Females in cities are
more prone to consumption than in the coun-
try. All old countries not disturbed by inn
migration have great majority of females
in the population. In royal families the sta
tistics show more daughters than sons. The
Hebrew woman is exceptionally long lived /;
the colored man is exceptionally short lived.
The married state is favorable to prolonga-
ton of life among women. DR.. Hugh pro-
claims that there are from 2 to 6 per cent.
more males born than females in the living
population.-New York Ledger.

Jennie Lind and Grisi.

have read somewhere n little ballad that
tells pretty story of the famou, sougstress,

have quite obliterated the verses from my
memory. leaving only the skeleton OF tie

and robbed of its green. But | shall try to

Grsi and Jennie Lind Were singing in differ
ent places in London Those who went into
ecstacics over Crisis " Norma were the next
evening enraptured with Lind's ''Casta Diva
Great was the rivalry between them.
Finally Queen Victoria, deemng it shame
that two such gifted women should be sep
arated by "A mean, unworthy jealousy, re-
0uested both to appear at a court concert
OF course they both came. The queen warm
" welcomed them together for the first time.
She gave the signal for the concert to begin
Jennie Lind was the younger, and it was ar
ranged that she should sing first. With per-
feet confidence in her powers she stepped for
ward to begin. CHANGING TO glance at Grisi
She saw the southern womans malignant
gaze fixed on her, The fierce look almost
paralyzed her. Her courage left her, her
voice trembled, everything grew black be-
fore her and she almost fell. BY the greatest
exertion of her will, however, she managed
to finish her aria. a painful silence followed
its concluson-a silence that told her of her
failure. She caught triumphant expression
of Crisis face.
Despite tine clearness Of her senses she
quickly realized that failure meant lost glory,
disappointed hope, the destruction of happi-
ness, grief and modification to her family
and her friends. Suddenly a soft voice that
seemed to come from heaven whispered 10
her: "Sing one of your old songs in your ma
tive language She caught at the thought
like an inspiration. The accompanist was
striking his final chords She stepped up to
him, asked him to rise, and took the vacant
seat. Softly her white fingers wandered over
the keys in loving prelude, then she sang.
1t was a little prayer which she had loved us
child; it belonged to her childhood's roper
tore. She hadn't sung it for years As she
sang she was no longer in the presence Of
royalty, but singing TO loving friends in her
fatherland
No one present understood a word of the
"prayer" Softly at first the plantive notes
foated on the air, swelling louder and richer
every moment. The singer seemed to throw
her whole soul into that weird, thrilling,
plaintive prayer" Gradually the song died
away and ended in soft sob. Again there
was silence-the silence of admiring wonder.
The audience sat spelbound. Jennie Lind
lifted at last her sweet blue eyes to look into
the scornful face that had so disconnected her

There are in the United States it is said,
fully one hundred ciergvwonen, mostly out
side of orthodox churches and the larger
towns. The number, by report, is steadily
increasing, too in face of the determined OPP
position of the evangelical generally to wom-
en- as preachers. This opposition seems rather
unfair, when it isrememberod how very large
and prominent a part the sex play in all &C.

has been said that hut for them churches of
all denominations would come poorly or.
They form the bulk of the congregation, and

rust and finally get hopelessly out of order
Besides who so administers TO the ease,

whole fraternity OF priests as the humble

not in the way of reciprocity, therefore, owe
it to women, ut least, not to throw obstacles
in their path to pulpit honors! If more wo-
men were preachers, would they not draw
more men to the churches, as well spread
and strengthen religious influence where it is
most needed There would seem to be few
callings to which women are better fitted by
nature, sympathy and aspiration than the
clerical calling. If they want to preach,

French Blind Mans Buff.

The old fashioned game Of blind mans buff,
when played in the house, generally results
in torn curtains, damaged furniture and
broken bric-a-brac, but French blind mans
buff, played as follows, is not open to those
objections, and is not, therefore, so apt to be
forbidden by mammals,
The players form in circle, while one is
in the center blindfoded and furnished with
Il stick. Tie players dance round in circle,
to music, if possible, until the blind man
knocks on the floor with the stick. Then
they stop, and the music ceases.
The blind man points tho stick to some
one in the circle and asks question. The
one addressed answers in disguised voice
As soon as the blind man guesses any one
by means Of the voice, be changes places with
that person, and the game goes on as before.
