woman can make heaven, rear throne
and reign a goddess. In concluding this
wise old parliamentarian said, shading his
eyes with his hand and looking toward
Mrs. Gladstone, who listened attentively
and applauded with approving smiles: 81
cannot think that anything which attempts
or affects to alter fundamentally the rela-
ton which the Almighty himself has es-
tablished, the design of which he has
marked ont in our constitutions and ca
pacities, or which draw women out of their
own sphere, would ever succeed"
Some of his views are most discouraging
He has 'the greatest admiration for the
woman who has done something in any
line, provided she kept away from the pub
lie" but has yet TO meet the heroine of a
career who is not brazen or tiresome. "It
is not her fault" he says, "but the result
of contamination. No one can elbow the
street crowd without losing some of the
sweetness we prize in woman" He thinks
that the gain that comes from the outer
world-from the shop, the rostrum and the
| public procession-is more than overpow-
cred by the loss of modesty, gentleness,
faith and womanly dignity.
When asked what women should do he
said: Marry, make homes, mind their
children, keep the honeymoon from eclipse
and keep off the street Any reforms they
want 10 make should be made through the
husband"
When told that ali women could no.
marry he said. 1T Is their own fault, then
y sweet woman cannot be resisted" which
means that too many Of our girls are being
| educated and trained on wrong basis. -

What those pretty British maidens heard

II do not believe in the unsexed women,
and am not in sympathy with the mascu-

woman is doubtful. The blue stocking,

saloon raiders as unlovely, called the polit-
fcal reformers his ''shrieking sistersn and
numbered the ''female bull fighters and
female leaguers" among the intolerable
evils of society. His observation led him
to believe that ''the greatest need of the

Sleeping Wonders.

There seems 10 be no limit to the won

sleeping. Condorcet, the mathematician,
solved one of his most difficult problems
while asleep-a problem, too, which puzzled
him during his waking hours \ professor
of theology in the University of Basic once
wrote sermon while asleep; he found it
on his desk next morning. The preceding
night he could not grapple with the sub
ject as he desired, but the performance OF
his sleeping hours was quite satisfactory.
Coleridge, the dreaming philosopher, com
posed ''kubla Khan" while fast asleep.
Next morning he was sure that there had
been an acquisition TO his literature, but
was too negligent to write the stanzas. \

the verses, but they had in most part fed
