Women Are Not Inconstant.

The authors of the past seem to have
thought that they could not make tale
in verse or prose romantic or interesting
unless they should introduce inconstant
heroines to their readers, and for this
purpose they were ready to defame the
whole sex, at least by implication. Wo-
man Is constant on instinct, on principle,
by enlightened policy, by mere self in
terest. Her inward prompting and out
ward 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 generally are polyg-
amous. Monogamy is but another name
for constancy, as polygamy is for incon-
stancy.
Whatever man may assume, he does
not believe that women, generally, are
unstable. His attitude and entire con
duct toward them demonstrate this. If
such was his conviction, he would not
marry; he would not jeopardize his
honor, his peace of mind, his precious
self love. Marriage would, in time,
cease to be custom; for marriage, So
ciety, civilization, depend absolutely on
woman's fidelity to the matrimonial
bond, not as a theory alone, but as a
sacred truth. Man thinks, with reason.
that some, perhaps many, women are
disloyal. But it always seems to sur
prise him; it is different from his expec-
tation, otherwise he would not raise
such clamor about it. The incon.
stancy of women generally is con.
scious and shallow pretext, more so to-
day than ever. Nature, society, science.
law, men, all demand the exact con.
trary, and their demand is fully met

PhiLology and Grammar.

There is notion abroad that philology
Is superior to grammar; that it is in q
commanding position over grammar,
and that it has natural right to super
wise the arrangements and terminology
of grammar. The consequence has been
that of late years almost every author
who has come forward as grammarian
has done SO, more or less, in the guise
of philologist, as if this character in
vested him with higher authority, and
gave him power to innovate upon the
time honored institutes of grammar
By this avenue some confused and hy-
brid doctrines have found their way
into current schoolbooks. - Professor
John Earle in Forum.

Indians Going to Market.

A remarkable sight is band of Cana.
dian Indians going to post with furs
for barter. Though the bulk of these
hunters fetch their quarry in the spring
and early summer, some may come at
any time. The procession may be only
that of a family or of the two or more
families that live together or as neigh
bors. The man, if there is but one
group, is certain to be stalking ahead
carrying nothing but his gun Then
come the women, laden like packhorses.
They may have sled packed with the
furs and drawn by dog or two, and an
extra dog may bear balanced load on
his back, but the squaw is certain to
have a spine warping burden of meat
and battered kettle and papoose, and

every sort she and her liege lord own.

THE MORNING HILLS.

He sits among the morning hills,
His face is bright and strong;
He scans far heights, but scarcely notes
The herdsman's idle song.
He cannot brook this peaceful life
While battles trumpet calls
he sees n crown for him who wins,
A tear for him who falls.
The flowery glens and shady slopes
Are hateful to his eyes;
Beyond the heights, beyond the storms,
The land of promise lies.
He is so old and sits so still,
With face so weak and mild,
We know that he remembers naught
Save when he was child.
His fight is fought, his fame is won,
Life's highest peak is past
The laurel crown, the triumph arch.
Are worthless at the last.
The frost of age destroys the bay,
The loud applause of men
Falls feebly on the palsied ears
OF threescore years and ten.
He does not bear the voice that bears
His name around the world;
He has no thought of great deeds done
Where battle tempests whirled;
But evermore he Is looking back,
Whilst memory fills and thrills
With echoes of the herdsman's song
Among the morning hills.

The Steamship of the Future.

AS to the size of the steamship of the
future, financial considerations must de.
termine it. Any addition to size means
greater displacement and greater power
to get high rate of speed. A small
craft, similar perhaps to torpedo boat
of the Thornycroft or Yarrow build,
would give results satisfactory at least
on the debit side of the ledger. But what
of the credit side, which, after all, is the
more important in O merchant ship of
the Atlantic greyhound type?
In the case of British ships there are
only two sources Of revenue-from pas.
sengers and for the transport of cargo
and mails. In a vessel of the torpedo
type there is not room for either. Sc
also with high speed cruisers, where a
very large proportion of the length, in
some cases 40 per cent, is given up fo1
machinery. Indeed, only in exceptional
cases could cruiser carry fuel to cross
the Atlantic at full speed, and certainly
no torpedo boat would essay to do SO.
In the modern high speed passenger
steamer the cargo capacity of the vessel
Is limited, and SO valuable that only a
precious cargo is carried, and that at a
pretty high rate. The cause of the lin
itation is the weight of machinery and
the coal for consumption and the neces.
sity for minimizing the displacement.
AS to speed, there is really no insur-
mountable difficulty in attaining forty
knots, but this would require something
like 100000 indicated horse power, sew
enty boilers to generate the steam for
the engines, and these would burn con.
siderably more than 1000 tons of coal
per day.-Engineering.

ried out to the letter the case might be-

Fish Tint Kill Each Other.

One of the queerest sharks is the thrash
er, which has the upper lobe of its tail SC
much developed as to equal in length the
body of the fish itself. This tail is con
trolled by powerful muscles, and is used as
a weapon. Swordfsh and thrasher sharks
have been seen on many occasions to at
tack whales in concert and kill them, the
sharks lashing their victims with their
tails while the swordfsh pierce them from
below. On the other hand, sharks them
selves are often killed by porpoises, which
will surround shark and lash the enemy
to death with their fiukes. - Washington

why People Began to Sit When Eatin

Why People Began to Sit When Eating.
1t seems not to be precisely known when
it became habtual to sit at table. Among
the first men it was customary to recline
in circle or TO place themselves in half
sitting posture about the repast, whether
it was an animal roasted over the fire or
a caldron containing food cooked by boil
ing. Seats for kings or mobiles were com
mon among the Assyrians, Egyptians and
Hebrews, but persons of inferior rank, or
even lords themselves, sprawled on carpets
or on the bare ground, The Greeks re.
clined at their meals, and for the rest OF
the time reclined, sat or lounged, accord
ing as they found one posture more agree
able than another or their occupations
permitted.
The Romans followed the same custom,
though benches and chairs were probably
more numerous among them. What were
the customs in this respect of the Romans
who colonized and whose descendants oc,
cupied the countries now called France
and Spain, we do not precisely know, but
it is reasonable to suppose that the habit
of sitting at meals or elsewhere in the
house became general on account of the
severity of the climate and the different
architectural conditions in which the peo
pie lived. 1t was certainly more natural
to recline in a climate that permitted life
to be largely passed in rooms open to the
weather or in the open air, than in build
ings damp and cold in winter, where con
tact with the floor was particularly to be
avoided. San Francisco Chronicle.
