Duh BnYs and Mechanical Ability

Great has always been the comfort
that the parents of boys dull at their
books have had III thinking that they
would probably be particularly bright in
some other direction. If there was any
doubt about it, the fact could always be
proved by stories of artists, writers and
musicians, who have been thought dull
ards at school. But mechanical genius
and dizziness at books do not it is said,
go hand in hand. The director of Il large
western school of manual training says
of such cases: LAS rule, such boy fails
to show marked ability of any sort. A
boy who comes to us with passion for
machinery, who cannot be kept away
from engines, the rattle of cogs and the
swapping Of belts, never gets beyond a
sort Of morbid, simple curiosity to see
the wheels 90 round He develops no
curiosity nor the ability to do good, ac-
curate work. His book work is of very
similar character. New York Post

WORDSWORTH ON WOMEN.
Tho Great Poet Did Not LIko Literary
Women.

Tho Great Poet Did Not Like Literary
Women.
Wordsworth INDUCES not infrequent-
ly in caustic remarks on women who
write, towards whom he always re-
tanned a rooted objection. It is said
that after Miss Martineau took up her
residence in his neighborhood, this abb
horrence to authoresses sometimes took
such active expression that the deaf
lady was frequently obliged to see
what she could not hear, and, perforce,
to recognize that her presence was I'M
welcome at Rydal Mount. She herself,
however, omakes no mention of any
thing of the kind, when abiding to the
Wordsworths and her intercourse with
them.
On one occasion, says the Cornhill
Magazine, after unsparingly condemn
ing work by Miss Sedgwick, he con-
cludes his criticism thus: ''Such produc-
tions add to my dislike of literary ladies
indeed make me almost detest tho
name" And further on again I find
the rather sweeping announcement
that "blue-stocl1ing1sm is sadly at en-
nifty with true refinement of mind"
This last is said in reference TO Sara
Coleridge, whom he rather pettishly &C
cuses of monopoliZing Mr.. Quillinan's
attention on one occasion, during the
time of the latter's engagement to his
daughter Dora. Perhaps, as the remark
is made in letter to Quillinan himself,
something in the nature of tacit re-
proof may be included in it for him also
That Wordsworth entertained high
idea of womanhood in the abstract is
undoubted, and is evident in most of
his poetry; but it is equally true that
he could i'll support contradiction or in
reference from the ladies of his own
family, from whom, by the way, he was
likely to meet with very little OF either.
He was lord paramount in his home;
the central figure of q group of devoted
and faithful admirers, who could see no
flaw in anything nc said or did. His
sister and sister-in-law resided con-
stantly with them, joining wife and
daughter in one invariable chant of
praise of his great gifts and veneration
for his genius.
Under such circumstances who could
wonder at the growing weakness for
universal appreciation which is said to
have beset, in his latter days, the grand
old Lake poet?
