why Women should Help Govern.

The eternal and ineradicable distinc-
ton of sex is one principal reason why
women in representative government
should be directly represented. If law
yers alone cannot safely be trusted to
make laws for mechanics, if merchants
alone cannot legislate for farmers, if
every well defined class in society Is en-
titled to its own authoritative expression
through the ballot, surely women, who
are the wives and sisters and mothers Of
men, should give expression to the do
nestle interests from the feminine point
of view. If blacksmith cannot fairly
represent physician, how much less can
man represent womRn!-Henry b.

John Wilson, better known in htera-

tramp was no unusual undertaking for
him. He often walked at the rate OF
five miles an hour for whole day, and
at the end of those long walks would
write off columns of the brightest things
that adorned the pages Of his Edinburgh
Review,

A startling incident occurred at the
anniversary services of the West United
PRESBYTERIAN church at Kirriemuir, en-
tirely without parallel in the memory
of the oldest inhabitant. On Sunday
afternoon the minister was calmly
preaching his sermon, when a modern
Jenny Geddes, infuriated at one of the
male members of the choir being asleep,
hurled her Bible at the head of the de-
linquent from the gallery where she
was sitting. The Bible missed the
sleeper but struck the shoulder of an
other man in the choir, who started up
amazed.
The minister became pale, paused in
his discourse and exclaimed, whats
wrong?" ''The Bible struck the wrang
man, -" she cried, rising up in her pew,
although her friends vainly attempted
to hold her down, twas meant to
wauken the sinfu' sleeper "Strange to
say, all present retained their gravity,

parent on the faces of the astounded
