POETRY
THE &" NEW WOMAN"
BY l.. MATUESON.

She does not "languish in her bower, y
Nor Squander all the golden day
In fashioning gaudy flower
Upon a wOrsted spray
Nor is she quite content to wait
behind her rose -wrcathed lattice pane
Until beside her fathers gate
The gallant prince draws REIN
The brave New Woman scorns to sigh
And count it such IA griev0us thing
That year on year should hurry by
And no gay SuitOr bring;
In laDor's ranks she takes her place
With skilful hands and cultured mind
Not always foremost in the race,
But never far behind.
And not less lightly fall her feet
Because they tread the busy ways:
She is no whit less fair and sweet
Than maids of Olden days,
Who, gOwned IN samite or brOcadc,
Looked charming IN their dainty guiSe
But dwelt like violets in the shade,
With shy, half-Opencd eyes.
Of life she takes clearer view,
And through the press serenely moves.
Unfcttered, free with judgment true
Avoiding narrow grooves.
She reasons, and she understands
And sometimes tbs her JOY and crown
TO lift with strong yet tender hands
The burdens men lay down.

TO make time pass rapidly, draw
note for more than you can COM
fortably pay, then the days will gal
lop; to make time go slow, try wait
ing in a railroad station; to make
time go at varying speed fall in love,
then will time gallop while you're
with the loved object and crawl
when she's away; time can't be
killed very well, but q good time
can be badly MANNED by a bore; a
high old time is more often than not
low old time when a man asks for
time on purchase he frequently
means eternity; it's curious that
they should say watch keeps time !;
really, its face gives time away the
moment you look at it.

Naming Children.

n Hindu baby is named when
twelve days old, and usually by the
mother. Sometimes the father
wishes for another name than that
selected by tho mother. In that case,
two lamps are placed over the two
names, and the name over which the
lamp burns the brightest is the one
given the child.
In an Egyptian family, the parents
choose a name for their baby by
lighting three wax candles. To
each of these they give q name, one
OF the three always belonging to
some dcified parsonage. The can
ole that burns the longest bestows
tho name upon the baby.
The MOhammedans sometimes
write desirable names on five slips
Of paper, and these they place IN the
Koran. The name upon the first slip
drawn out is given to the child.
The children Of the Amos, peo-
pie living in Northern Japan, do not
receive their names until they are
five years old. 1t is the father who
then chooses the name by which the
child is afterward to be called.
The Chinese give their baby boys q
name in addition to their surnames,
and they must call themselves by
these names until they are twenty
years old. At that age the father
gives his son new name.
The Chinese care so little for their
girl babies that they do not give
them baby name, but just call them
Number One, Number Two, Num-
her Three, Number Four, and so on,
according to their birth.
Boys are thought so much more of
in China than girls are, that if you
ask Chinese father who has both a
boy and girl how many children
he has, he will always reply, "Only
one child"
German parents sometimes change
the names Of their baby if it is i'll /;
and the Japanese arc said to change
the names Of their children four
times

CURIOUS LEGAL DOCUMENT.-The
most curious legal document on file
among the court records Of America
is lease for 9,999 years, which
may be found transcribed in the Heb
ron (Conn.) Land Records, volume
., page 26l. On May 25th, 1875, ac-
cording to the above record, the trus-
tees Of the Society for the Propa-
CATION of the Gospel in Foreign
Parts" leased thirty acres of land
near the above named place to one
>. w. Chase and his heirs "during
the full term herein stated, viz,
9,999 years.
The tenure is held on condition
that the said Chase, or his legal
heirs, shall pay to John Sutton and
j, j. Peters, church wardens of said
society, or their SUCCESSORS in office,
one grain of pure silver, or other sill
yer, gold equivalent (if demanded, J
on st. Johns Day Of each ensuing
year"
Ihere arc many curious and Whim-
Sical tenureS held i'm Great Britain,
France and Germany, but it is doubt
ful if the records of America can
produce anything equal to this long
lived land lease, which will not ter
inmate after the lapse Of 5000 years
from the 10Th of next month.

AN ADEPT At ADDITION.-Dr.
Pill was called up on one Of the re-
cent cold nights to see sick woman,
says the Worcester Gazette. He met
the woman'S son outside, when he
drove up, and, to show his filial re-
gard, the son whispered to the doc
tor that he would pay the bill, and
requested that he should not take any
money from his mother if she should
tender payment. On second thought
the tilial son said he would paw
enough in advance to cover all visits,
so he handed out a tenner. Being a
doctor of the regular school, DR.. Pill
took the money.
After the call the doctor met the
son, and said he thought he paid too
much, as it would not be necessary
to call more than two or three times.
He accordingly handed back five
dollars, and said he would call the
next day.
When DR.. Pill called the next day
the tilial son met him as he was
leaving, and remarked to the doctor
that he might have been little
balmy the night before.
You gave me ten dollars" said
the doctor, and gave you five dol
lars back"
Yes, remember" replied the
son, but do you think another visit
will be necessary 2"
WE'LL" answered the doctor, "
think | ought to call Tomorrow"
i" Well, yes" said the son, "that
will be the calls-four dollars and 6
half"
The first visit" said DIR. Pill
was late at night, that will be two
dollars. For the visit to-day l will
charge one dollar and half, and the
third call tomorrow will make JUS
five dollars"
The filial son looked sad and mus
ingly remarked: Well, doctor, you
are devil Of a fellow at addition. -

"There are many answers which
| might be tempted to give to such
question:" replied Mr.. Gladstone,
"yet the one which / would regard
atterward with the most satisfac-
tion would be-theology. 1t has
been the study of my life, though /
am at eighty-five, but on the thresh-
old, as learner. Over that thresh-
old l may only pass with DEATH"
was wondering, knowing what a
llnguist Mr.. Gladstone is, whether
he would not mention the study of
languages. Rut evidently he did
not care to rank it with theology
And so, without questioning him
further on that subject, / ventured
hastily to ask what was his opinion
of the New Woman" and the stir
she is creating in the world.
81 am too old a man, he re.
turned, "to have an opinion Of any
kind on the New Woman as con.
slider that the exponent of certain
doctrines Is enormously styled. My
ideal woman has not altered in the
past three score years and ten, and
may affirm positively that it is not
probable she will do so in the time
that is left"
