WOMEN AND MEN IN ENGLAND.
Their Relations to Each Other In the
Lower and Middle Glasses.

Lower and Middle Glasses.
lone day in Charing Cross station.
London" says woman recently returned
from considerable stay in the English
metropolis, Il noticed four young men
walking up and down the platform, smok-
ing and twiriing their canes. Presently
from third class carriage of an incoming
train stepped four good looking girls,
weighed down with shawls, lunch baskets
and valises. BY the men, who had evil
IDENTIFY been waiting for them, they were
cordially greeted, but not relieved of their
luggage. So far as my eyes could follow
their progress, l saw the girls still drag
ging their belongings, and the men twirl
ing their canes.
"The incident strikingly illustrates the
attitude taken toward women by English
men of the people and the lower middle
class. English women of no class have as
nearly freed themselves from the help Of
the men as the Americans. The lower
Glasses have not begun emancipation The
new gospel has not yet been preached unto

1.-The attitude of an English girl toward
her young man is of an inferior toward a
superior. When walking with him sun
day afternoon she is humbly receptive
She permits herself no assertion or prefer
ences. If the young man in his might
ness chooses to make a remark, she smiles;
if he questions, she shakes her head or
signs monosyllable; if he wishes to sit
down, she sits down. If he desires to kiss
her, she lets herself be kissed. She accepts
everything as from god. That the eyes
of the deity may not be offended she is
gowned in her best. Half her head is GOV
cred with woolly curls, protected from the
breezes and the fog by the net of conse-
Grated fashion. Her flarin2 hat covered
with cheap flowers, is airily pinned on the
neckward slope of her head. With no CO.
quetry other than this pluming of her per
son does she attempt to please her future
lord.
Inevitably the man scorns the woman S

worker said to me, when l demonstrated

A Rural New Yorker correspondent
writes:
1t has been pretty thoroughly proved
that cabbages, especially the late drum
head varieties, are likely to head better
if the seed be sown where the plant is
to remain, conditions Of soil, fertility
and culture being equal. The usual
practice is to plant six or eight seeds i'll
a hill, and gradually thin out to the
strongest plant, but since the advent
of the cabbage worm and hosts of recent
insect enemies the trouble of caring for
so many scattered plants has proved too
great, and the seed bed is therefore re-
sorted to. 1t may be considered that
plants Of the cabbage tribe are not ben
Gifted by transplanting i'll itself, but as
they are little affected by it when done
under favorable conditions the use Of Il
seed bed Is generally to be recommends
ed on account Of greater east and econ

that as the planting was ~ to 10 inches

treatment Recommended For Rot, Early
Blight and the Potato scab.
Bordeaux mixture is the sovereign
remedy for potato rot or late blight If
properly made and thoroughly applied
at the right time, scarcely u decayed
tuber should appear in the field. 1t is
impossible to state when the first APP
plications should be made or how
many times the plants should be treat
ed, for the conditions vary 50 much in
different localities. The character of
the season and the prevalence of the
disease in former years must serve as
guides as to the best time to begin
spraying. In certain localities the late
blight appears with considerable regu-
larity, and i'll such cases it is well to
spray about ten days before the period
in which the trouble is generally first
noticed. Later applications may be
made at intervals Of one to three weeks,
depending upon the weather Even i'll

for i'll this case the plants will be in ac-

cording to Professor +. G. Lodeman of
Cornell IN. " station, the authority
for the foregoing.
The remedy for potato scab proposed
by Bolley of the North Dakota station is
considered almost IA specific for this
disease. Bolley's latest recommendation
is to dissolve 10 ounces of corrosive sub.
Innate i'll 60 gallons of water, and the
general tendency among experimenters
is to use stronger solutions than the ones
first recommended. The period of inn
mersion also varies from l p to hours.
The terminating power of potatoes is
sometimes impaired if they are treated
with the strong solutions for the long
periods recommended. 1t is advisable,
therefore, to get as clean seed as posi-
bic, but, if the potatoes are scabby, t.
treat them with solutions whose strength

Irrigatine with storm Waters.

The idea is gaining credence every
year that even i'll the more eastern states,
where the rainfall is ordinarily sufficient
to mature most crops, there will be peri
DDS Of drought during almost any season
when it will pay to apply water arti-
6cially. While the expense of maintain.
ing an irrigating plant is considerable.
it often happens that n small quantity
of water applied at just the critical time
will more than double the crop, and, as
in such seasons prices are likely to rule
high, the returns will pay good rate
of interest on the amount invested in the
plant.

The wonderful changes which the hu-
man brain undergoes from the moment
when it first appears in the embryo until
1t becomes the perfected laboratory of
thought characteristic to the matured hui
man being has been commented upon by
several of the leading writers on biology
physiology, etc. During these successive
changes, or, rather, transformations from
the lower to the higher sphere, the human
brain not only takes upon itself the gem
eral shape and form of the brains of vari-
Gus representatives of the lower classes of
animals, but appears to have the same
structural constituents at least to u Ger
tain degree. Thus it has been found that
the original germ of the brain as it appears
in the human embryo has the exact out
lines of serpent thought factory After
that the changes which take place while
the brain is assuming the various shapes
which it must undergo before it becomes
perfect give it decided resemblance to
the brains of fishes, birds and mammife--
Gus animals.
Helms "Thoughts On the Structure of
the Human Brain" and Wilson's "Anat-
omy of the Human Body botn mention
these queer transformations, as does also
Hugh Miller in his famous work, "Testi-
mony of the Rocks" Miller puts it in this
way: 1T has long been known that the
human brain is built up by wonderful
process, during which it assumes in sue
cession the form of the brain of "a serpent,
a fish, bird and lastly, before it assumes
the characteristic human form, it takes
upon itself the outline of mammifcrous
quadrupeds brain" Hence the remark
make by scientific writers that man is the
sum total of all animals st. Louis Re

QUAY Almost withIrcw.

Washington, Feb. 10.-When Senator
Quay left the capitol he had almost
decided TO withdraw his motion to re-
commit the tariff bill This was the
result of the Importantly of several re-
publican senators, who had ascer-
tanned that while there would be a
solid vote on the part of the populists
and democrats against recommiuting,
there would be no difficulty in getting
a comparatively large vote on the
democratic side against the free coin
age substitute for the bill. This turn
in the situation has led to an active
canvass of the vote on the substitute
and on the original bill, in case the
substitute is voted down. This survey
has necessarily been incomplete, but
the result is such as to cause the OPP
ponents of the substitute to believe it
can be defeated. They count upon the
entire anti-silver vote on the republic
can side besides the vote of many
silver republicans, who will not agree
TO displace the tariff bill with a silver
bill, and also upon getting a large ma
jority if not all of the anti-silver dem
ocrats against the substitute. With the
substitute defeated the vote would
recur on the tariff bill proper.
