King Charles heard of the wonder

come and dine at the royal man
sion.a Parr had always (for 152
years. at least) been used to the
most simple fare. At the kings
table he let his appetite get away
with him and ate so much that he
died the same night.

A well-known Boston physician
has a little grandniecewh has been
very i'll with pneumonia.
When she was well she wanted a
dog very much, and she did not for
get it even when she was suffering.
One day she told her mamma
how very much she wanted the dog,
and entreated her to ask her grand
pa, as she called him, to buy one
for her. The mamma said that
grandpa didn't like dogs, and prob
ably would not want to.
"Wait till you are well, she add

ARE THE WOMEN INcoNsTANT
THE QUESTION AT LAST ANSWERED.
Woman is Constant on Instinct, on Prin-
ciple, and by Mere Self-Interest.

This never-ending question is
answered in the negative by Junius
Henri Browne in the March num-
Der Of the Ladies Home Journal.
The authors Of the past seem to
have thought that they could not
make a tale in verse or prose ro-
mantle or interesting unless they
should introduce inconstant hero
ines to their readers; and for this
purpose they were ready to defame
the whole sex, at least by implica-
tion.
Woman is constant on instinct,
on principle, by enlightened policy,
by mere self-interest Her inward
prompting and outward advantage
conspire to the same end, She is
doubly guarded.
Man is differently constituted.
Principle alone must, as a rule, hold
him steady; and comparatively few
of his sex, it must be admitted, act
ON principle in this regard.
Woman is homogeneous; man,
and, in fact, male animals general
ly are polygamous. Monogamy is
but another name for constancy, as
pelygamy is for Inconsistency.
Whatever man may assume, he
does not believe that women gen.
orally are unstable. His attitude
and entire conduct toward then
demonstratethis. Ifsuch were his
conviction, he would not marry; he
would not jeopardise his honor, his
peace, of mind, his. precious self
love. Marriage would, in time
cease to be a custom; for marriage
society, civilization, depend abso
lutely ON woman's fidelity to thu
matrimonial bond, not as theor,
alone, but as a sacred truth.
Man thinks, with reason, tina
some, perhaps many, women ar
disloyal; indeed, it is easy to ascer
tain the fact. But it always seem
tosurprise-him; it is different from
his expectation, otherwise he woul,
not raise such clamor about it.
The Inconsistency of women gen
orally is a conscious and shallo1
pEetext, more SO to-day than ever
Nature, soeiety,sscience, law, mel
all demand the exact contrary, an
their demand is fully met.

She was one Of those women who
ought to be ar angel, if she isn't,
and the clerk knew it the minute
she put her face up to the money
order window. 81 want to send a
money ORDER" she called down to
the clerk from the height Of her
superiority.
"This is the place, madam he
responded, politely enough.
81 know tits. That'swhy I came
here instead of going to the opera
house or the city buildings. How
much will it cost me to send $40 to
HIRAM Buckle Smith, at Colum-

The clerk began a~brief calcula-
ton on a pad of paper. "Well,
madam" he replied, after keeping
her waiting two OF three minutes,
cit will cost you, including the post
age, S4O.22."
"What! wha-whatp' she gasped,
as. she fell against the wall. "For-
ty dollars and twenty-five cents? Do
you mean to tell me it will cost me
that much to send $40 to my broth
er-in-law in Columbus, Ohio?"
at certainly will, madam" said
the clerk, confidently, If you send
it by money order"
BY this time she was pretty bad
ly ratified. "Its shame and an out
rage" she exclaimed. 81 thought
the fee was only Is cents OF. such.a
matter; but here you tell me it is
more than the entire amount l want
to send"
81 beg your pardon, madam, ,
! apologized the clerk; softening. 81
didn't say the fee was S4022. Yor
must have mistaken me someway
You asked me what it would cos
you to send $40 to Columbus, Ohio
and I said, including postage, i
! would cost you $40.22. You see,'
he hurried on, without giving her
chance to chip in a word, "the post
age will be 2 cents, the fee for
$40-order is 20 cents, that's % cents
! and the $40 you want to send t.
, your brother-in-law will be $40; A
! and 20 and g." he ratified away Oh
his fingers, $40.22. See? An,
that's just what it will cost you t,
send the $40 which you asked m
about at first Here's your blank
