WHAT WOMEN CAN'T DO.
81 never saw but one woman lawyer, but
] may mention quite casually that would
let no woman run my squabbles; those
that couldn't attend TO myself would
refer to the lawyer who had Mr.. before
his name. No woman need want to learn
to be a preacher; She was born with that
instinct but her pulpit would be an arm
chair, her listeners her immediate family,
and, if she practises us she breaches, her
congregation will be great credit to her.
As for Il woman preacher marrying people,
let people who like it be joined in wedlock
after this fashion; for my own part /
should feel that the preacher was

Mormons, don't you know. What women
need nowadays is little ignorance. Why,
You blessed dear, don't YOU know that life
is great deal happier if you don't know
too much Ignorance is bliss
There never was more beautiful poem
written in a few words than that by Owen
Meredith. i'll which he says:
To thee be all men heroes; every race noble;
All women virgins; every house temple;
Know thou nothing base.
That's my idea of knowledge. am

MEN ONLY GRowN-ur RABIES.
Every blessed one Of you have a fashion
of taking it for granted that whatever q
man says to you isn't true. Now, nine
times out Of ten it is, so the tenth time
give him the benefit Of the doubt, and
when he finds you do believe him he will
take fancy to living up to his reputation
| and he will tell the truth so he may not go
back on you. A man is like prophet
he wants to be believed in his own coun-
| try, and when the women Of his house
| hold don't show him that they have faith
IN him, he is pretty apt to give them cause
not to. Just take one Of your babies and
when it comes and tells you that it loves
| you. and you are brute enough TO push it
| away because you are too busy las ii n
woman ought ever to be too busy to refuse
to listen to her child, then the next time
| that small boy feels the same inclination
he will work it out in his baby mind that
| you didn't believe him before, that YOU
wont now, and soon he will stop giving
| expression to his love, and nine times out
| OF ten the love will disappear, Now, men,
in some respects, are only grown-up babies,

my foremothers, who from Eve down had

about a lovely black velvet cloak that She

for it.
THINGS WHICH GO INTO OBLIVION.
So many things might 60 into oblivion
with good results-the butter that is high
and the canvas back that is not
The ices that are tasteless and the coffee
that tastes too much of chicory.
The buckwheat cakes that are tepid and
the oysters that are warm.
The terrapin that is messed i'm with
some sort OF an egg sauce, and the cham
payne emp that has four bottles of soda to
one OF champagne.
| The soup in which the cook has lost the
pepper pot and the mutton done crisp.
The tea that wants prop because of its
weakness and the toast that's thicker than
cream.
The eggs that are not infallible and the
milk that has been SO long away that il
has forgotten the COW.
But, most important of all, there should
go to oblivion the bud cooks-they have
wrecked families, they have caused in
digestion and they have made the hour Of
dinner one of sadness and despair, when
1t should be one of joy and delight
