There he told Embarrassing story OF the

forced retirement he abandoned
his estate for the benefit of his creditors.
but it was confidently expected that
when the estate came under the hammer
Mr.. Nercier would bid it in. Such. how
ever, has not been the case, for when he
was asked to put in a tender he stated
that he was actually not worth a cent.
and, i'll fact, had surrendered the whole
estate to free himself from his creditors,
who were clamorlng for their money.
Investigation has proved this to be
true, and the man who. a few months

of office he enriched many of his friends,

correct one. This defective style of
progression largely owes its existence to
the awkward manner in which girls put
down their feet.
The subject may at first sight seem a
frivolous one. but, sir, assure you that
it is a matter which should receive EARL
est consideration from many of your
lady readers.
ID order to illustrate my meaning we
will take seat commanding any prom
enade or any place where number of
women and girls pass. Here comes No.
l, her toes at an angle of 45 deg. and an
almost inimitable SLOUGH apparent.
She is closely followed by No. 2,
whose toes gravitate inwardS, and
whose heels consequently take the re-
verse direction; then another, with the
heels of her boots turned over to such
an extent that you wonder she can get
along at all.
Then we meet just one girl who knows
how to walk properly. Her feet are
neatly clad, her shoulders are thrown
slightly back, and, altogether, she pre-
sents an appearance of health and
gracefulneSs.
But contrast her with the others, and
the SLOUGH OF the former becomes ac-
centuated. Most women do not walk
properly; and it is not because they do
not know how, but because they will
not exert sufficient energy.

The Learned Prof LombrosO Has
Written an Article to Prove That
They Are.
Woman
Prof. Lombroso is upon the warpath
once more: or, rather, we may say that
he has never bee:l off it. La Revue deS
Revues has published in eXtenso an
article containing certain OF his Opin-
ions, which have already been before
the public and commented upon by the
press. This learned gentleman devotes
four pages to proving that "all women
arc liars"
He first states his case with calm au
dacity, then he props it up with few
quotations from writer's and proverbs
CLEANED from various climes: and,
finally, he marshals up whole array of
causes to prove cOnclusively the rea-
sons why we lie, or why, if we don't.
we are false, not only to tradition and
to Prof. LOmbroso'S deductiOns-Dut
also to the feminine arm0r provided by
nature for defensive purposes.
The effect OF the article upon logical
people is to make them. however sober
minded they have hitherto been, come
to the conclusion that, according 10 the
writer's reasoning, in an immediate
settlement of the "woman'S rights
question lies the only hope of our rescue
from the slough of untruthfulnesS
wherein we at present WalloW. PhySica
weakness is the first cause adduced;
that may be overcome by training, as
witness the women warriors or ANA
IONS. Modesty is the second; that may
also be eradicated, il Prof. LombroSo
would wish SO see such an achievement.
Love of mems admiration is the third,
while the fourth, the desire to appear
interesting, may be included in the
same category; but equal rights with
men, and similar clothing, would no
doubt entirely kill any such feminine
weaknesses. Quick but unreliable APP
prehensivenesS is the fifth. closely allied
with vivid imagination. No doubt
course of Mills logic would be benef-
cial, but L could not possibly imagine
anything more unVeraciOuS than that
logician'S assertions concerning race
with tortoise. The duties of maternity
conclude Prof. Lombroso's case. for he
declares that lies on the part of the
mother are absolutely necessary if she
would train up a child in the way it
should CO.
Now, we are not going to assert that
women do not lie, but we do contend
that Prof. L0mDrOSO has not by any
means proved his case. The frstreason
he adduces-that of physical weakness
is of no count among civilized people.
Modesty will forever have its supporters
and coadjutO among the chiValrouS of
the professors own sex. Love of mems
admiration is, thanks to our nobler
training, developing into love of mems
respect, and is thus conductive to moral
uprightness and truth. Our quick recep-
tive powers are, under modern influ-
ences, being Turned TO good account.
And any sensible mother will tell the
professor that, even in the preservation
of its innocence, no child need ever be
told lie. We want stronger arguments
than he has given us before we admit
that untruthfulness on the part OF
woman is either necessary, natural or
ineradicabe.
