FUTURE OF WOMEN.
Mr.. Gladstone Makes Some Eminently
Sensible Remarks.

sensible REMARKS
In the course of brief address at a
school for girls, where Mrs. Gladstone
distributed the prizes, Mr., Gladstone
said:
"That future of society is of enormous
importance to the world. think it Is
not uninteresting to recall, if may be
allowed to do it, little anecdote, when
some words were used to me more than
fifty years ago by an eminent physician
of that date-Dr. Farr, who lived in
Charterhouse square. l went there on
account of some affection of the eye but
he entered into general conversation
about the political prospects of the
'ountry, and he said to me these words,
which, think, we're full of sense, right
feeling and wisdom; You may depend
upon it, Mr., Gladstone, it is not the
Wings who will save the country, nor
the Tories who will save the country: 1t
is the mothers of England who will save
the country
~ think that should be to every young
wife the most cheering, the most con-
selling, and the most stimulating lesson
that could be learned. The value and
the Importance of this thought are such
that no new addition we can possibly
make to woman's vocation can ever
stand for moment in comparison with
their vital bearing upon the formation
of character in every one of us. And
what is the formation of character but
that for which God sent US into the
world? 1t is the sum and substance,
the beginning and the ending of the
whole matter, and it is the formation of
character which is the pride and glory
of women as teacher, but infinitely more
as mother, to contribute"

Life is a journey, not o home; a
road, not an abiding place; prepara-
ton, not an abode of rest. The Joys of
the way are but as resting spots on the
road, where we may be refreshed for the
moment that again we may journey on,
seeking what is still before us--the rest
that remaineth for the people of God.
1t is said that Cardinal Newmans
hymn, LEAD, kindly light" though
sung so frequently in Protestant church
es and chapels, is seldom heard in Ro-
man Catholic services, and has no place
in the authorized collection of hymns
used at the Brompton Oratory. But it
should be remembered that that hymn
was written before he became Catholic.

Open canned fruit an hour or two be-
fore it Is needed for use. 1t is far richer
when the oxygen is thus restored to it.
Beat an egg thoroughly in bowl and
add one teacup of cold water to it. Use
enough of this to thoroughly moisten
coffee when making it. Keep in cold
place, and waste no more eggs by dry
ing.
Granulated sugar is the purest brand;
consequently the cheapest. Do not use
quite as much as of other kinds-one-s
half inch less for cupful. Cake batter
made with graduated sugar requires
longer beating than usual; as the sugar
is longer in dissolving.
To beat the white Of an egg stiff, with
ease, they should be cold, with very.
small pinch of salt.
Egg-shells are somewhat porous, and
like butter and cheese absorb unpleas.
ant odors Therefore eggs should be
kept in sweet, clean, cool place.
All floor and whisk brooms should be
thoroughly in scalding hot brine be-
fore using them. 1t will effectually pre-
vent the straws from breaking.
Add two tablespoonfuls of kerosene to
the pail of water with which you wash

Cut piece from the top Of old kid

Never slice apples for making pies;

cut each quarter in two pieces.
Sift tablespoonful of pulverized
sugar over the top of two-crust pies be-
fore baking, and see how delicious it
makes them.
Never put tea leaves on a light colored
carpet; they will surely leave stain.
After thoroughly sweeping adingy car

In packing bottles or canned fruit for

A COLONY OF CATS.
End of Il Very Singular Aggregation
Paris pussies,

End of Very Singular Aggregation of
Paris PUSHES.
BY the abolition Of the Halle-aux-
Bles at Paris to make room for the new
building of the Bourse de Commerce,
the curious history Of a colony Of cats
has been brought to an end. Twenty
years ago the millers who frequented
the old Halle-aux-Bles, or grain market
found their sacks of wheat destroyed
terribly by rats Traps and other sys-
TENS of determination were tried with
out avail, and at last few cats we're
introduced.
They succeeded in putting the rats to
fight, but reproduced themselves with
such amazing rapidity that the millers
found them a greater nuisance than
their old enemies. To get rid of the cats
that had eaten the rats the administra-
ton of the Halle hired five or six bull
dogs, but the numerous specimens of the
feline tribe were able to climb into Cor
ners and crevices which the dogs could
not reach. Next the authorities tried
to starve them. This also failed, be-
cause all the old ladies of the quarter
fed them with crusts.
Instead of diminishing, the colony in
creased, and the administration then
lodged formal complaint at the dis
trict police office against the cats. 1t
was forwarded to the Prefecture of Po-
lice-the Scotland Yard of Paris-and
after due inspection and the requisite
formalities an emissary was sent to the
Halle armed with a packet of poison
from the Municipal Laboratory, which he
spread upon bits of horseflesh and sum-
moned the cats to eat. They declined
the allurements of the police-prepared
dainties, but the bulldogs did not, and
their speedy death proved the excel
lence of the poison provided for their
opponents.
Recourse was then had to firearms.
Constables armed with pistols proceeded
to the Halle and fred at every cat they
saw, soon reducing the colony to meagre
proportions. Some of its members fed
to the roof, and there they led a pre-
carious existence for some months.
Leave the building where they were
born-their fatherland-they would

ers who demolished the Halle drove
