Women in English Life, from Media-
val to Modern Times, by Gsorgiana Hill,
gives most interesting account of the
place held by women from the days of
the Saxon race down to the present
time. The various phases of social life,
the influence of great forces like the
Church and Feudalism, the Renais
sance and the great industrial revolu-
ton, which began in the last century,
together with the educational revolution
of modern times, are all treated with a a
aim to showing clearly the great changes
which have taken place in the position
Of women, and which have rendered
possible the wide expansion both of her
responsibilities and her influence in this
last decade of the nineteenth century.

A book as important for the historical
student as it is interesting for the gen.
eral reader is The Courtships of Queen
Elizabeth, by Martin A. S. Hume, the
Editor of the Calendar of Spanish State
Papers of Elizabeth in the Public Record
Office. Mr.. Hume says in his preface
that he has often been struck by the
failure of historians OF the time to &C.
count adequately for what seems merely
perverse fckleness on the part of per-
haps the greatest sovereign that ever
occupied the English throne; and that
he has undertaken in this book to show
how a strong modern England was rem
dered possible by the ixty of purpose
and consummate statecraft that under
lay the apparent levity and capricious-
ness of the queens actions. (MacMillan

DAYTON-A CENTURY OF
GROWTH.
NEW YORK CITY.

A hundred years beyond the Ohio
goes back to the beginning indeed. So
long ago men found things as God
made them" The forest and stream
were in their primal glory, with only a
break for a wigwam or a ripple for
the Indian canoe. So men found the
Miami Valley when the foundations of
Dayton were laid a century since. The
people have just held their Centennial
with great Joy, "the happiest people
in the world" says our correspond
emit. We can we'll believe it. They
have everything to make them happy.
Everything that could detract from their
gladness has been kept away. There
has been growth without gangrene,
progress without panic. The city has
never encouraged purgatorial excess,
and is the healthier now. Civic pride
has gone hand in hand with all the vir-
tues that conduce to self respect. They
never aped Chicago, nor took a model
from a bigger town but once. in
church steeple, AMI that they repented
of, and have been happier for it. The
whole life of the city has been whole
some and based on sound principle as
the best policy. The accumulation of
capital has never led to wild speculation
or reckless ventures; all has been order
ly, patient. and wise. The city has been
a model of cleanliness and true home
likeness. Improvements have been
practical, and the natural growth from
recognized needs. Homes of great
beauty have grown up around the peo-
pie rather than been made to order for
display. Churches and charities have
evolved in the same way and are models
on that very account. To-day there is
SO little in their growth that has to bs
undone or can not be trusted, that the
people can be happy without fear and
hopeful without anxiety. 1t is good
case in which to be; would that more
cities and more men were so! 1t would
be impossible to think Of anybody dar-
ing to use office in Dayton in order to
plumber. people; a ring would fuse by
the heat of sentiment before it could
form. One reason for this is that the
people take time to be virtuous and
have leisure enough to know when
abuses begin. The JOY of the Dayton
Centennial is the honest gladness OF
steady and upright people who have
themselves under control and their city
affairs well in hand.-Neie York Evan-
gelist

whelm the mind, and the wild dream
of the German poet becomes sort of
dreadful sublime reality: God called
from dreams a man into the vesti-
bule of heaven, saying, Come thou
hither and see the glory of my house.
And to the servants that stood around
his throne he said, Take him and I'M
dress him from his robes of flesh:
cleanse his vision, and put new
breath into his nostrils; only touch
not with any change his human heart
the heart that weeps and trembles.
ut was done and, with a mighty
angel for his guide, the man stood
ready for his infinite voyage; and
from the terraces of heaven, with
out sound or farewell, at once they
wheeled away into endless space.
Sometimes with the solemn flight of
angel wing they fed through Saba
ras of darkness, through wildernesses
of death, that divided the worlds OF
life; sometimes they swept over from
tiers that were quickening under pro-
phetic motions of God. Then, from
a distance that is counted only in
heaven, light dawned for a time
through sleepy film; by unutter-
able pace the light swept to them.
they by unutterable pace to the light.
In moment the rushing of planets
was upon them. In a moment the
blazing of suns was around them.
"Then came eternities of twilight
that revealed but were not revealed.
On the right hand and on the left
lowered mighty consultations that
by self-repetitions and answers from
afar, that by counter-positions built
up triumphant gates whose archi-
traves, whose archways, horizontal,
upright, rested, rose-at altitude by
spans-that seemed ghostly from in
finite. Without measure were the
architraves, past number were the
archways, beyond memory the gates.
Within were stairs that scaled the
eternities below,-below was above,
to the man stripped of gravitating
body: depth was swallowed up in
height insurmountable; height was
swallowed up in depth unfathomable.
Suddenly, as thus they rode from in
finite to infinite, suddenly as thus
they tilted over abysmal worlds,
mighty cry arose-that system more
mysterious, that worlds more billowy
other heights and other depths
were coming, were nearing, were at
hand.
"Then the man sighed and stopped,
shuddered and wept. His overloaded
heart uttered itself in tears-'Angel,
l will go no farther. For the spirit
of man acheth with this infnity.
Insufferable is the glory of God.
Let me lie down in the grave and
hide me from the persecution of the
infinite, for end, see, there is none.
"And from all the listening stars
that shone around issued a choral
voice: The man speaks truly: end,
there is none that we ever heard of.
END there is none?' the angel sol
EMMY demanded: is there, indeed,
no end-and is this the sorrow that
kills your But no voice answered
that he might answer himself. Then

hands to the heaven of heavens, say
ing, End is there none to the uni

Russian field, where tracks are slow and
contests are on turf. Flush has four

Flush is the result OF a union OF the

at that age take few things seriously, and
are not given to looking upon the serious
