1.-THE NEW MAN n
Rev. Anna Shaw Says He Is to Be Tit
 Mate For the New Woman.


 Mate For the New Woman.
 The Rev. Anna Shaw lectured recently in Philadelphia on "The New Man." and she drew rosy picture of that individual without however, telling when he was to make his appearance op earth or how the present masculine was . be reformed into the creature she depictey.
 Miss Shaw predicted that the new man would neither smoke, drink, swear nor gamble. He will do none of these things because "he will be pre-eminently man in the development of his physical organ ism, and will indulge in nothing that will degrade his bodily development.
 Miss Shaw had seen it written that man should not smoke until he was 30 years of age. If the new man follows this rule she thought that at that age he would be married to the new woman, and that assertive female would then see that he never indulged in the weed. As the result of this abstemiousness Miss Shaw foresaw an increase In the stature of the race. "There will be giants in those days" The new man "may be champion batter or even a football player" but he will in- dulge in these sports entirely as pastime and during seasonable hours. As log icaI consequence professional hines will d hitters of today will be known only as myths. Miss Shaw was very earnest on this point and scoffed at the idea of pay ing men more to play baseball than to work.
 The new man is not to be an effeminate creature. He is to be .'a fit mate for the new woman" He is also to be intellectu- al, but "not from the mere study of books" His mind will be legal one, and he shall judge accurately between right and wrong, even when a woman is con cerned. This athletic, football playing in- dividual with the legal mind is also to be we'll developed morally. "Not that the world will be absolutely pure, but he will be able to walk in the midst of temptation without being affected any more than a vaccinated man Is physically who walks through smallpox hospital" He will be "a moral influence for virtue and go side by side with the new woman, clasping her hand with hand as pure as hers.
 The new man will also be religious, al- though he will pay more attention to his life than he will to creed. He is to be a manly man, but tender, true and loving. His intercourse with man is to be that of brother with brother He is also going to be a brother to the new woman. Miss Shaw intimated that the sisterly racket on the part of the young women should be offset by something of the sort she indi- cates The new man in business life Is going to be benefited by the new business woman. He will no longer have to spend money in buying cigars and drinks in or der to close his bargains, for the female drummer will do away with such meth ods.-Philadelphia Press.
 King of Dahomey In Exile.
 That interesting king in exile, Behan. gin of Dahomey, seems to accommodate himself fairly well, by all accounts, tc circumstances in his enforced residence at Fort de France in the French posses. sion of Martinique. A traveller who wis ited him only the other day describes him as having been surrounded by his wives and daughters, according to the etiquette of his country. He stood in the highroad and was about to return to his quarters. In answer to salutation from his visitor the black monarch made profound bow. Up to the present time, it seems, he has learned very little of the language of his captors. He only knows dozen words or so of French. Howev. CT, he contrived to convey the informa. tion that he considered the surrounding country very pretty and that he and his suit were in good health and spirits. He is extremely fond of European mu. sic and never neglects an opportunity ot listening to the playing of the band oi French marines. The road to his resi-. dence is a steep one and covered with loose stones. It is about 20 minutes walk from the harbor, where French man of war, the Duquesne, is stationed. London News.
