THE COMING WOMAN,

Have you seen the dainty darling?
Have you met her anywhere?
you should know her by her wisdom
And her independent air.
She can talk in Greek and Latin,
she can speak with fluent grace,
But she doesn't-very often
Paint her pretty, blooming face.
She can vie with ancient NeStor
When she talks of woman's sphere,
But the way she treats her mother
Seems to me tritie queer.
She can write learned essay,
And your plaster cast can make;
She is college educated,
But she cannot cook steak.
She presides at public meetings,
And a critic stern is she,
But she never makes an om'let,
Or decent cup of tea.
She can calculate eclipseS,
She can reckon i'll her head,
But she cannot and she will not
sweep floor or make bed
She can charm q man of learning,
And can manage church affairs,
But she has no sort of patience
With the common household cares,
She will toss her head at marriage,
And will tell of woman'S rights,
But you win her love in earnest
And you're sure of home delights.

the sincerity of conviction that prompts
these pulpit TRADES or the good they NAV

are made and impulses stirred which
lead sometimes to practical efforts toward
redress and reformation. But, after all
such rhetorical bravery, however sincere

public speech, the agreeable thrill of
shocking an audience, stimulate this

age for minister is in sphere of action
far less conspicuous and far more i'm

The effect OF this step is almost impossi-

services, properly used, may be made

dency to adopt ritual forms as hopeful
sign. 1t indicates, we fear, a decline in
the fire and enthusiasm and spontaneity
which used to characterize worship in
our non-liturgical churches-a lapsing
into coldness and formality. Nor can we
think that 1t is preSage of any speedy
union OF the MethodiStS and Episcopal

the other He would have to raise up a
new church to take the place of the one

just few minutes before the brindle
COW gave that fatal kick to Mr. Brien.
At the first station where the train
stopped telegram was handed to the
bridegroom. 1t said simply: "Come

Goodness of Sailors.

l have seen one of the passengers of
the Marechal Canrobert, the vessel run
down by the Hoche. His account does
not show where the fault is, for the pas
sengers saw nothing until the moment
Of the accident. Opinions are much di-
vided on the subject, but the general
feeling is that the captain Of Marechal
Canrobert was very imprudent in trying,
with vessel making twelve knots, to
pass in front of ten men-of-war, cover
ing large space and making seventeen
or eighteen knots.
What seems to have excited the admi-
ration Of all was the presence of mind
and activity shown by the captain and
crew of each vessel in the terrible situa-
ton, which lasted nearly sixteen min
utes, before the Marechal Canrobert
sank.
The captain of the Hoche had grappled
the Marechal Canrobert, and his sailors
rushing on board, seized the passengers
and hurried them on the deck of the gun
boat. Not till they felt that the steam
ship was going down did the sailors hurry
back to the Hoche. The captain of the
Marechal Canrobert was the last to leave
the ship. But for the GOODNESS of the
captains and crews there must have been
great loss of life.-London Times.
