The Single Woman.

A lady asks me if | am not little hard
on single women. | sincerely hope and
trust that nothing | have ever said can
really show the slightest touch of "hard-
ness" on single women, writes Walter Be-
SAINT in the Queen. The noble work-the
self-sacrifcing work-the truly unselfish
work-that is done by thousands of single
women we must all acknowledge with the
deepest gratitude and admiration.
Everywhere we come upon them, work
ing now, for their married sisters or their
veritable pillars of the house,
now for the poor, now for the sick; now
for the young; now for those, a vast army,
who want little to tide over troubled
time; now for the church-always for other
people, There is no one whom the world,
which too often takes as right the most
complete sacrifice of its workers, ought to
respect and to revere so much as the single
woman who gives up her life = her
thoughts, her heart, her time-for the sake
of others.
My correspondent, as usual stumhles
over the word 'average." Let her Temem-
Der that when one speaks of the average
woman one who means that "those are
excepted who must be expected. - The
average woman, 4 say, finds her chief hap
piness in the married life; she is by nature
a matron, mother in Israel But there
are plenty of women who do not want
the married life; who feel more free to work
out their avn lives in the single state.
Dear me! How can one speak of an aver
age without offending those who are higher
than the average?
Some time ago a lady objected to some
thing I had advanced, with my usual
timidity, as trait of the average woman.
Presently it turned out that nay objector
was learned person and mistress in
high school, And she had the-the-
may l say2-the impudence-zoT the mod
esty-to call herself an average woman.
No-no-no--a mistress in high school
Is not an average women. And so such
single woman as have described above is
also very, very much above the average.
Else we should all be one ruug higher on
the ladder that leads US to the better
world.

Glyoerin.

Glycerin is one Of the most useful and
misunderstood of everyday drugs, says the
New York Advertiser. II must not be
applied to the skin undiluted, or it will
cause it to become red and hard, but il
rubbed well into the skin while wet it has
a sotening and whitening effect. 1t will
prevent and cure chapped hands aud soothe
an irritable cough by moisteuing the dry
ness Of the throat, Applied to shoes, gly-
cerin is great preseryative Of the leather
and effectually keeps out the water aud
prevents wet feet

The Forger.


Sir John Evans says, in Longman' :
Magazine, "that not even the trained an
tiquary is proof against the forger and
confesses that not only has he himself pur-
chased forgeries, but has published ac-
counts Of them as if they had been gen
uine-accounts which any amount of SUBJ
sequent Withdrawals fail to annihilate.
Commercials and forgeries abound in every
department of archaeology. Spurious man
uscriPts, gems, pottery, glass, enamels,
worries, coins, weapons, implements and
armame1ts have each and all been foisted
on collectors at different times and in vari-
Gus countries"

Marry in May,
Rue for aye.


Probably the largest dairy in the world
is that owned by Queen Victoria at her
model farm near Windsor. 1t has floors
of PoFcelail tiles of white aud blue CON-
tanning medalions Of the Queen, her hus-
band, and each of their children, marble
columns supporting the roof and windows
of stained glass bordered with daisies, but
tercups, primroses and May blossoms. Ras,
reliefs of the seasons and various agricul-
tural designs complete the ornamentation
and marble tables and basins are ranged
around the wall at intervals, while per-
petual stream of water runs through the
building.

Saws for the Fair Sex.

A good girl will make good woman,
but it must not be forgotten that it is in
girlhood when the character is formed. A
few precepts, therefore, are given to the
girl and the woman, says an exchange.
Give ear, fair daughter of love, to the
instructions of prudence, and let the pre-
cepts of truth sink deep in thine heart; so
shall the charms of thy mind add lustre to
thy form, and thy beauty, like the rose it
resenblelh, shall retain it sweetness when
its bloom is withered
In the spring of thy youth, in the morn
ing of thy days, when the eyes of men gaze
on thee with delight-ah, hear with eau
ton their alluring words; guard well thy
heart, nor listen to their soft words
Remember, thou art made mans reason
able companion; the end of thy being is to
assist him in the tolls of his life, to soothe
him with thy tenderness and recompense
his care with soft endearments.
Who is she that winneth the heart Of
man, that subdueth him to love and
reigneth in his breast?
Lo, yonder she walketh in maiden sweet
ness, with innocence in her mind and
modesty on her cheek.
Her hand seeketh employment, her feet
delighteh not in gadding abroad.
She is clothed with neatness, she is fed
with temperance, humility and meekness
are as a crown of glory circling her head
On her tongue dwelleth music; the
sweetness of honey AOweth from her lips.
Decency is in all her words in her an
swers are mildness and truth.
Submission and obedience are the les
sons of her life, and peace and happiness
are her reward.
Before her steps walketh prudence and
virtue attendeth at her right hand.
Her eyes speaketh softness and love, but
discretion with sceptre stitch on her
brow.
When scandal is busy and the fame of
her neighbor is tossed from tongue to
tongue, if charity and good nature open
not her month the finger of silence resteth
on her lip.
Her breast is the mansion of goodness
and therefore she suspecteth no evil in
others.
She presideth in the house and there
is peace; she commandeth with Judgment
and is obeyed
She riseth in the morning, considereth
her affairs and appointeth to every one
their proper business.
The care of her family is her whole de-
light; to that alone she applieth her study,
and elegance with frugality is seen in her
mansions.
The prudence of her management is an
honor to her husband, and he heareth her
praise with silent delight.
She informeth the minds ofher children
with wisdom, she fashioneth their manners
from the example of her own goodness.
The word of her mouth is the law of
their youth; the motion of her eye com
mandeth their obedience.
She speaketh, and her servants fly, she
appointeth, and the thing is done.
For the law of love is in their hearts;
her kindness addeth wings to their feet.
In prosperity she is not pulled up; in
adversely she healeth the wounds of her
fortune with patience.
The troubles of her husband are allevi-
ated by her counsels and sweetened by her
endearments; he putteth his heart in her
bosom and receiveth comfort
Happy is the man that hath made her
his wife; happy the child that calleth her
mother

WHAT is YOUR LIFE.

From the Minneapolis Tribune.
A little crib beside the bed,
A little face above the spread.
A little shoe upon the tioor,
A little froek behind the door,
A little lad with dark brown hair,
A little blue eyed face and fair,
A little lane that leads TO school,
A little pencil. slate and rule.
A little winsome, blitnesome maid.
A little hand within his laid
That is where he got married.
A little family gathering ronnd.
A little turfheaped, tear-dewed mound
That is where the child died
A little cottage and acres four.
A little old time fashioned store.
A little added to his soil.
little rest from hardest toll.
A little silver in his hair.
little stool and an easy chair,
A little night Of earth-lit gloom,
a little eortege to the tomb
That is what life is.

There is remarkable sand dune near
the lighthouse at Cape Henry, at the mouth
of Chesapeake Bay. The sand from the
beach has been piled up nearly two hundred
feet at an easy slope on the ocean side, but
on the inland side it descends in an almost
sheer precipice, and particles of sand blown
up the slope fall over the edge and are
spread far and wide by the wind. 1t is
supposed that the precipioe-like popularity
of the monnd is due to the action of con-
ficting wind currents that blow about the
cane.

His Wish.

A wicked story is told about two part
ners who respected each others business
ability, but who hated each cordially. To
one of them came fairy saying that he
could have any boon he desired, and what
ever he had his partner should have in
double portion. Naturally his first wish
was for a barrel of money, GAN right"
said the fairy, "but your partner will get
two barrels on that wish" "Stop little"
said the first. perhaps you'd better not
give me a barrel of money. I'd rather you
would make me totally blind in one eye"

Henry S Ives, who died at Asheville,
North Carolina, recently, was perhaps
the most remarkable rogue of the century,
There have been other INSCRIPTIONS rail
road wreckers, but they usually served
some apprenticeship, Ives, however,
jumped at one hound from Office boy to
millionaire and railroad n'agnate, and,
within a very few years, failed for over
$4,000, 600 and landed in Jail: His ca
