| Rlomerstion: "He sat Ike sn angry Hon, chewing the cud of his bitter reflections. I which, however, were sweet to him, be- causs Sophia figured in them like lamp glowing In the bosom of . murky cloud" l" These glaring errors will serve to show how wary writers ought 10 be when deal. | ing with the tricksy sprites of slmile and care lest they bring the thoughtless ecrib- bier into dieersce. He has poetic fancy, though he msy never have written . rhyme, who can use figures of speech truly and beautifully. In this connection 1t is pleasant to read in the letter of Phillips Brooks describing his first visit to Tenny- con, that the master of the poets art told him that the verse in "Locksley Hall"
 "Love took up the glass of Time, and turned 1t
 in his glowing hands;
 golden sands,"
 was the best eimile he ever made, that and . certain line in "The Gardeners Daugh- ter" being the ones upon which he most prided himself. If we had only been told which that "certain line" isI Lovers of Tennyson will find 1t pleasing puzzle to read the poem carefully through, trying to decide for themselves what was the simils that 30 thoroughly satisfied the mind of its author.
 AN ELOQUENT APPEAL.
 A "hrst-clsss No. cook" who is will ing to act upon occasion as child's nurse, would be considered treasure in almost any family. The original of the following letter was received by lady residing in Mandalay, Burmsh, and 1t is to be hoped that the appeal of the native writer, ex- pressed in such remarkable English, was needed, and that the "hones:ly outright mans" secured the "highly favored job"

 ITEMS.
 The latest bright thing in matrimonial advertisements comes to us from. Ger many It was published not long ago, and may be translated thus:
 "Wanted, with view to matrimony, a young lady to match a bonnet trimmed with green, which won the other day in a rafas for charitable purposes. Must have means of her own. Please address, under the heading of Leben's s.gluck Qife's hsppiness) to the editor of this paper. Lady cyclist preferred"
 AS 'means of her own" is positively re- quired, 1t is supposable that the bonnet trimmed with green may be all that the young lady who matches 1t may expect from such thrifty lover.
 Miss Ida Welt, Vasssr girl graduate of '91. has taken the regular course for the degree of doctor of science at Geneva University, Switzerland. After two years of study she passed e brilliant examina- ton, first in rank of the large class in which she was the only woman student. She has only just passed her twenty -second birthday, and is one of four sisters all of whom have entered upon a scientific ca- reer, the other three being practicing physicians.
 In December. the Royal University ot Ireland, the only one in Great Britain and Ireland that confers 6 musical degree upon women, conferred degrees upon 2l1 grsdu- ates, 76 being women. Of these IA took very high rank, one receiving the second gold medal, another won the travelling scholar ship, @ prize for which every musical stu dent strives, as 1t gives the privilege ot years study on the continent at some famous school. Two women carried off highest honors in literature, and the sec- ond rank in the classics, history, political economy and jurisprudence were won by women.
 Next year, for the first time, the fellow ships of the university, four in number; will be open for candidates, and women will have the same rights as men in the examinations.
 To the category of eccentric clubs and organizations may now be added the sabnehmungsyerein," or Don't take-off your-hst. association, of Wehlau, Germany. The members, influenced by horror of colds in the head, grip and kin dred ills, and probably being destitute of the protecting thateh that nature provided them, are dissolved from raising their hats on the street during the winter season. Dues and fines are to be used for local charities. Not bad idea for the man of many kinsfolk, acquaintance and friends to adopt on windy wintry day. It might save him many 8 sneezs and shiver if he would organize in his own proper person an American branch of the society with the polysyllabic and amazing name of htsabnehmungsvereini"
