WILL IT BE HEAVEN WITHOUT THEM,
A Jersey Preacher Thinks Women VIII Be
 Shut Out of Paradise.

Rev. R. A. Motley of Jersey City seems to entertain rather selfish view of the hereafter. He has decided that no women need apply at the gate of St. Peter and quotes tho following verses from Mark xii in support of his conclusions:
 Now there were seven brethren, and the first took wife, and, dying, left no seed. And the second took her and died, neither left he any seed, and the third likewise. And the seven had her and left no seed. Last of all the woman died also

Honry " would play with any one he happened to meet with, and as the king and his courtiers played every day tho ladies, whom he could never bear out of his sight, took part in these games likewise and the queen herself, during her various illnesses, used to invite the Marshal de Bassompierre into her apart ments to play at hazard for money to pass away the tedious hours of convalescence.
 Marie de Medici was an encourager of gaming, and during her regency after the death of Henry " the rage for gambling became more violent, and ladies of high rank were not ashamed to open gambling houses, and even to cheat when they could not win otherwise. One French countess was discovered by friend cheating her tradcslnen and women whom she had in vited to play with her. She replied, on be- ing questioned, Why, only cheat them of what they are always cheating me"

Increase in line officers by reductions In

the quartermasters', pay, and subsistence

Independent continuance OF these depart

The Secretary says army officers have
been detailed as military instructors at
ninety-iive schools and colleges. The num-
ber of pupils receiving military education
during the last quarter OF the school year
