members of the entire household. Care

a MIGHTY HUNTER.
Theirs Remark, Which Was Truly French
In Its Wit.

In lts VIII.
1t is the custom in France for all the
fashionable world to go shooting in the
autumn. Every possessor of landed
estate invites his friends from Paris to
visit him at this season, and every WIS.,
itor is expected to distinguish himself
with the gun.
When Adolph Theirs, the petit bour-
geois statesman Of France, became
president of the republic he was in
vited one autumn to take part in the
sports at the country estate of M. Cash
mir-Perier. He accepted the invitation,
and consequently had to appear on the
hunting field in shooting dress and
armed with gun. The whole enter
tainment was really in his honor.
M. Cashier Perier was aware that
his old friend, now the president,
knew nothing whatever about hunting.
But he instructed his gamekeeper to
follow NJ. Theirs about and see that
in one way or another, the great guest
of the occasion dragged" more game
than any other person.
The gamelSeeper led the president to
a certain spot and said to him: "Your
excellency, the game will all be driven
past this place. You have nothing to
do but remain here end il you shoot at
all you are bound to kill something"
But the president, TO his credit, de.
clined this opportunity, and insisted
upon travelling about with the other
hunters-except that he never went tc
the right place and never got shot al
all. The gamekeeper was in despair.
The distinguished guest kept him hop
ping about from place to place but al
ways out of range of the game.
Nevertheless, by collision with 9th

Her Father Is Her Companion and Sym
pathetic Confident.
A French girl feels that there is just
one companion as delightful as her
mother, just one confidant as sympa
thetic, and that is-her father. He is
her hero and the knight of her dreams
Often and often have seen the girl at
school hiding their fathers photograph
in the leaves of their books, kissing it
enthusiastically on the sly, pressing it
TO their hearts when they go to chapel
TO say their prayers, sewing his last
letter into their dresses, treasuring
some little keepsake in their pock-
cts. And when they meet one
can see how the father returns
his daughters feeling by his tender
clasp of her pure, young hand and the
adoring affection with which he looks
down into her eyes. He allows moth
ing to keep him back from meeting her
as she comes from school, and giving
her his arm-for every French gentle
man extends this mark of protection

her fathers. The effects of this inter-
course can be traced in their charac-

Women In Greek History.

The woman question was agitated in
Athens even before Plato wrote his Re.
public, in which he advocates equal
education and holds the modern theory
that women have the same capacities
as men. These ideas were perhaps first
gained from Aspasia and the circle OF
thinkers meeting at her house. 1t was
in parody of them that Aristophanes
wrote his plays against women; and
the satire could hardly have been APP
preciated by general audience If the
theories ridiculed had not been mat
ter of common talk In one OF these
plays women appear as peacemakers.
They are tired of the long war between
Athens and Sparta, and resolve to end
it by getting hold of the citadel and the
public treasury in it. The sinews of
war being thus withdrawn, the two
cties-in the play-are forced to make
peace. In another play the women,
under the lead of strong-minded mat
ron, take possession of the Assembly.
The satire lies in this, that after claim
ing the right to legislate on the plea
that, as women are more conservative
than men, the old constitution will be
safer in their hands, they no sooner get
the power than they turn every thing
topsy-turvy in an excess of reforming
