kept a number of the merchants at home.

was an abundance, was excellent. Her

Mr. Gladstope,. Lion.

William E. Gladstone. whom every
schoolboy. knows as the Grand OEd
Man OF England" is the proud owner OF
a lion, which pct he keeps at his big
home called Hawarden Castle. A lion
seems a queer pet for a great statesman
like Mr.. Gladstone to keep in his house,
but this particular lion is absolutely
harmless-indeed, it is only a copper lion
and is used for a weather vane to show
Mr.. Gladstone which way the wind
blows.
The peculiar type of British lion har-
bored at the time of England's foremost
man Of affairs is not nearly so British
as it looks, for it was made in New
York. So bright is the copper of which it
is made that in a certain light it looks
Jet black. There's a beautiful curl to the
lions tail, and he stands on his hind legs
and seems to be Offering battle to
n one who may care to tackle him.
England has always enjoyed a great
reputation for making weather vanes, and
these wind indicators were in use in the
British Isles long before our country
was picked up at sea by Captain Column
bus. And yet, Mr.. Gladstone. who is a
very good judge of most things, sent
over here when he wanted a weather vane
that was bright. light and accurate in
registering as his order reads. Queer,
isn't it, that Mr.. Gladstone's British lion
should be American born!

Shall / dare to express my whole idea?
The severe education that the American
girl receives agrees especially, with thos
single woman in the United States is
Infinitely superior ITO her European sis
ter; free from the letters that often make
the French old maid so pitiable and RI
diculous, she does not, like the latter, ex-
pect to gain liberty by m~arriage-on the
contrary, by marriage she would lose
that perfect independence which allows
her to cultivate herself more and more,
to rise into a larger sphere than that OF
the family, and wen of the ordinary
social circle. by consecrating herself to
works of universal interest. Her inter
course with men, freed from the childish
ness and freedom which allows real and
serious intimacies that no criticism could
assai,. One sees no bitterness. no re-
grets. Her lot is too beautiful, her life
too full. in spite of the natural satisfac-
tons renouncedAnay, perhaps, just on
accornt of hat remuneration. Let there
be, however, no misunderstanding. II
1T seems indispensable to me that the
woman who. for some good reason or
other, does not marry, should find some
sphere for her activity, / severely blame
the systematic scorn Of marriage which
comes to many young Americans who
are ambitious to be somebody. to do
something. to distinguish themselves in
a career. and to escape from the com
mon ways. With these pretended voca-
tions there is often mixed a childish
vanity, a morbid idea of creating a SEN
sation, of singing ones self out. and OBJ
stacles are most useful in proving tneir
real value.
