THE COMING MAN.
DEAR L. II. W: The possibility of woman in
the future has been thoroughly discussed, the
new woman has been ably defined. but as no
one has yet yentured a word on the future adj
vancemeut of the other sex, allow me to give
my idea of the coming man.

| quently will be able 10 piow a garden, take

2. He will be man of intelligence. he will
| not smoke dozen cigaTets in a single day and
| then think his wife's biscuits gave him the
| dyspepsia.

miscTiy as to remind his wife every time she
asks for q new Spring bonnet that his grand
mother always made her own bonnets."
4 He viii be man of industry, obeying the
| Divine command, Six days shalt thou labor"
bat be will not work SO hard during these six
days that he will be "too tired" TO attend
church on Sunday.
5. He will be temperate maB-one who oan
/ pass saloon without going in /: but he will not
have such contempt for 6runkards that he
VIII refuse to give his hand to a fallen brother,
and help him out of the depths of sin.
6. He will be consderate man, who, although
he may be q master in irony aud SATIRE will

or misfortune.
never say "0nly a woman" nor boast of the
Superiority OF man."
6. He will be bcme-loving man. He will
spend his evenings in the company of his
family at his own 6reside, not in the company
of a gang of gamblers in the pool psrlor, or the
billiard hall. He will be to his wife helpful
companion, wise counsellor, and will remain
a lover 10 the end OF LIES last chapter

QUESTION OF TASTE.
DEAR c. c. FRIENDS: / wonder If our girls
are approaching a period of mental decline?
Surely nothing indicates such proneness more
evidently than TO behold them promeuadipg
cur busiest ihoroughfares dressed in the latest
and gayest style OF boomers. Modesty aud
true wOmanly beauty are cast aside for the sake
of convenience, and, believe, tie vain dosire of
notoriety.
These so-called bloemers might better be
termed hybrlds, as they appear TO bo a combine
ton between feminine and masculine attire

on Patriotic Teaching was awarded 10 VIM r.

heredlty upon the child. nor Of the mothers
influence before il arrives at school ase. nor of
ally established and maintained for the purpose
Of educating and holding the active minds Of
the young into pure and noble characters at
tached TO home and country.
We are patriotic people, and much of this
spirit we owe to our school system, Thoughts still
needing improvement
No religious dogmas to control. but the
broad and tolerant spirit of the true American.
let our flag 1oat by every scheolhouse; let
the children be encouraged to patriotic recita-
ton ia prose and poetry. Let their reading
and eocutionary exercises be more practical
and patriotic than sentimental and dramatic
The land is fun of ghostiy imRginings that
do iauch harm.
Let patriotic songs be sung and drill formu-
las from the best authors be followed. The
spirit OF liberty and equality viii then become
general, without regard 10 sex color or con.
dition, and we will love our country better for
her magnauimiiy and justice.
