THE COURAGE OF WOMEN.


1t Is Passive Fortitude Rather Than
Physical Demonstration.
Let us consider in what the physical
courage of woman has hitherto most
differed from that of man, for the
difference is one not only of
degree, but quality, and the re
suit partly of physiological condi-
tions, partly the influence of here
dity, and partly of the necessities
of her social life and the education
which is habitually assigned to her
all of which must affect the future as
well as the past. Broadly speaking,
it is in passive fortitude and endur-
ance, in continuance rather than
vehemence of effort, in abnegation
and vicarious pleasure that the cour-
age of woman eXcels She will face
with equanimity necessary danger,
but will rarely seek or delight in it.
Joys of contest and peril have for her
little meaning, and no attraction;
they threaten the home; they are
physically prescribed during a great
portion of her life; they conflict with
her special province of being beauti-
full, and her special glory OF being
chosen and protected. doubt whether
there be a woman in the world who
does not in her heart of hearts still
like being fought for who does not
admire even an ordinary feat of
strength or daring more than all the
honors of the schools.
How strange it would be were this
not so, when we remember that for
centuries upon centuries the progress
of civilization, the evolution of sex,
has been founded upon the contest of
male for female. When we think of
the course OF history, the necessities of
structure, the influence of maternity,
the slow inheritance of one uniform
tradition of conduct, of all these di-
verse and potent factors alike tending
in the same direction, there is no
room for wonder that radically diff
ferent conception of courage should be
held by men and women, and we must
require very strong evidence to believe
that such a conception in harmony, as
1t appears to be alike with nature and
reason, is erroneous or destructible.-

CALIFORNIA UNDER SPAIN.


Uhe 1Ouns SOionies'
England was careless parent. Her
children, neglected by the mother coun-
try, forced to earn their own living
while yet young, though having thus
sorry youth, still early developed
strength, energy and ambition to dc
for themselves, and be free from
parental rule. Spain, though she even
fed and clothed her colonists, kept
them strictly dependent upon her for
the smallest as well as the greatest
needs, discouraging freedom of thought
as well as action, governing by mass
of rules to which was exacted implicit
obedience. She thus kept a strong
hold upon her most remote settle
ments, which rendered it difficult, al
most impossible, for the colonists to
develop into Independent citizenhood.
Spanish trade restrictions were deadly
to the young colonies, and at length
almost suicidal to the parent land. No
trade was allowed with other coun-
tries, and only with Spain herself
through the one port of Seville, where
it was rigidly inspected by the "house
of trade"-that board of regulators
with the narrowest ideas and instruc-
tions. All commerce had to be carried
in Spanish vessels, so why should the
settlers build ships? Trade between
sister colonies was forbidden, and no
foreign vessel could enter harbor OF
a Spanish possession, or land man
without carrying special permit. To
prevent colonists trading with foreign
ers, death and forfeiture of property
were the penalties. To strengthen
further her peculiar trade policy, Spain
forbade the cultivation in the colonies
of such raw products as came into di-
rect competition with home industries
The culture of hemp, tobacco, olives,
grapes in vineyard and many other ar
ticles, came under this list. Overland

CONVERSATION AT TABLE


Specialties and Hobbies Should be Studi-
ously Omitted.
Talking is one of the best of all re-
creations, and woman who under
stands the art possesses most useful
and enjoyable accomplishment No
dinner table is well-appointed without
good takers; and the basis of inter
esting conversation is reality After q
course of London dinners, Sir Walter
Scott said: The bishops and the
lawyers talked better than the wits"
that is, the wits talked for the sake of
talking, and the church and the law
had something to talk about. Yet
specialties and hobbies are not admis-
sable at dinner table, and a woman
who can only talk on her own fad has
no business in society. She ought to
write pamphlet, or go to the lecture
platform for any conversation at the
dinner table that is a strain on the at
tention or the patience soon becomes a
bore; indeed, one of the elements of
pleasant company is a readiness to
talk, or to be talked to, on any ration
al subject.
The most charming takers let a
bright listener see their thought in
formation, for talk that has been pre-
pared has ready-made fairness 1t is
the aerated thought of the moment
that has the sparkle; and good talker
finds the right word by instinct, as a
clever horse on bad road always puts
his foot in the right place. This fact
makes the good talker also a good list
ener, because her best conversation
will follow brightly and instantly the
lead that others give it, and prevents.
likewise, the worst of all conversa-
tional faults-monopoiy. Dean Swift
thought mo one ought to talk at a
dinner-table longer than a minute at a
time, and his rules for such converse
ton are so admira bic that they might
be printed on our dinner menus:
Conversation is but carving;
Give no more to every guest
Than he's able to digest.
Give him always of the prime
And but little at a time
Carve to all but just enough
Let them neither starve nor stun
And that you may have your due.
Let some neighbor carve for YOU"
However. we must make some allow
ance for our duller intellects. If we
all had Dean Swif0s genius we might
all make rcinute speeches. Ladies'

NAMES IN NOVEL S.
How Some Writers Are Puzzled In Mans
ing Their Characters

All the mechanism of novel writing
has fascination for the general pub
lie, and no part more so than the fit
ting of names to the characters. Why
certain appellations are chosen whose
aptness and quaintness at once strikes
the reader is a question of great in
terest The old-fashioned tales and
plays, with their Sneerwells. Back
bites, Belairs, etc, and the later case,
Thackeray's Newcomes, follow the
simple rule of descriptive names, but
the raison d'etre of the many thousands
which constantly absorb the public in
terest is utterly uncertain.
Dickens, it is well known, ransacked
old London for quaint and curious
names. Shop signs were his special
hunting ground, and in this he had
French counterpart, Balzac. The story
is twice told tale how the great nov
elist dragged his companion through
Paris one memorable night in search
of a name to fit some one of his stu
pendous creations, and just as the
dawn was beginning TO break and the
companions strength was failing
sign was found which bore a name
sufficiently outlandish to suit even
Balzac's taste. The name once given,
he was wont to declare it grew to the
character so that separation was to
him utterly impossible. ~
Such a separation was recently en-
forced on an author. Miss Anna B.
Walker, well known from her many
oh N h.ol-Z F,,
as the sister. of Susan Warner, who
wrote The Wide, Wide World"
planned a book which was to treat of
West Point life. In searching for
name for her hero which would not
be likely to appear in any army regis
ter, an old name came to her mind
one that she had not heard for more
than fifty years, and then only once
the owner having been client of her
father. She recalled hearing him COM
ment of the strangeness of the name,
and only that circumstance impressed
it on her memory.
The book was written, with the hero
bearing the quaint old name, but when
she submitted IL to the publishers she
was informed that there was some one
living of that name who decidedly OBJ
jected to having it appear lin book, :"
| distinctive as it was through its odd
ness With inward protest the patient
author then set about to find another
name, but the personality of her hero
had become indissolubly bound to her
first choice, and no other one seemed
to fit it, N Y Herald

Wise Old Eing CeCrOps.

Did | say that the people who lived
there (Athens) at that time were sim

wise as they might have been had they
lived some thousand years later; but
they were neither simpletons nor alto

most people of Greece, 1t was all ow-
ing to their king, wise old Cecrops,
that they had risen to condition su-
perior to that of the half barbarous
tribes around them. He had shown
them how to SOW barley and wheat
and plant vineyards; and he had
taught them to depend upon these and
their fiocks and herds for food, rather
He had persuaded them to lay aside
many of their old cruel customs, had
set them in families with each it's own
home, and had instructed them in the
worship of the gods On the top of the
Acropolis they had built a little city
and protected it with walls and forti-
tications against any attack from their
warlike neighbors; and from this point
as a center they had, little by little,
extended their influence to the sea on
one side and to the mountains on the
other. But, strange to say, they had
not yet given a name to their city, nor
had they decided which one of the
gods should be its PROTECTOR mes
