other according to where fortune or
circumstances had located them. The
condition of things to-day is totally
different to what it was even a quar-
ter OF century back, and without los
ing one iota of her womanly nature,
the woman of to-day wherever educa-
tlon and enlightenment finds its way
and that is almost everywhere-is a
totally different being to what she was
the exception to find her anywhere else
than within the four walls of what was
supposed to be, although it was yery
OFTEN not, a home. The woman af to-
day who is self-supporting and who
through the medium OF education has
fitted herself for much OF the work
which was considered exclusively the
provocative of the sterner sex. is sure
ly by that training which fits her for
that work entitled to the consideration
which is her just due ofsuccessful effort
and recognized ability, and, therefore.
she cannot be judged, and should not
be bound down by, the sentimental r1l

fast passing away.

assented the keeper of the intelligence
office. 1T would insure her STAYING
with you for much longer time than
she would be likely to under ordinary

BUT it's different with politics and
religion. If we don't find out iust what
her sentiments are beforehand. we are
as likely as not to say something to-
hurt her feelings before we think. It's

MEN AND WOMEN.

Where there is discomfort, there Is
usually local cause, which may be
removed. If 1t is characteristic, 1t IS
pitiable. The normally discontinued
woman is a hypochondriac-sun erlng
from a mental disorder, which needs
such tones as are usually given 70
grief. The trials of wife and mother
will appeal to most men as affordlng
some extenuation. The monotony OF
domestic duty, and the more limited
opportunities for daily change, will
suggest tolerant consideration and ef-
forts to afford her relief unknown to
herself. There is a wide range be-
tween the disconnected with irksome
and dreary routine-the aspiration Tor
more pleasant If not more commend
which comes from pampered selfish
ness. 1t will require as much consid-
GRAFTON and tactful attention on the
part OF the husband to ameliorate 1t,
as effort on the part of the wife. And
in the husbands efforts will reward
be found in the exaltation Of his own
character. even II ii fail completely, in
its efforts upon the woman.
They forget that the condition OF
things to-day, and especially in this
country is not what Ii was when our
grandfathers could not see that women

TO KEEP OUT TOURISTS.
Owner of Washington Irving's Home
Has Had to Close the House.

Sunnyside, formerly the home OF
Washington Irving, has been closed to
the public. 1t may surprise critics or
the Bookman school to learn that
Washington Irving is still read and re-
membered, although he did not write
in the Scotch dialect, and that literary
pilgrims desire to visit Sdnnyside.
when they ought to be hieing them
selves to Dhumtochty, but these appear
20 be the melancholy facts.
The present owner of Sunnysidc de-
clares that the worshipers of Irving
have tramped over his grounds, chip
ped corners from his house, worn out
his carpets, carried off his bric-a-brac,
and so disturbed his household that his
patience is exhausted, and he has de-
cided to fence them out.
| remember that the same complaint
was made by the present owner or
Gadshill, a captain in the local militia,
when the Dickens family sold him the
estate.
1t is difficult to draw the line between
the private ownership of house and
the public interest in the homes Of the
dead geniuses, but l should say that II
the public want to visit the former res
idence of departed favorite they
ought to buy the place and maintain It
as a free show.
The nuisances of man that oc-
cupied a hallowed house were pictured
in John Hollingheads farce. The
Birthplace OF Podgers," that rooe, the
famous London comedian, used to play.
Il as but our to heat my dinner"
the occupant demonstrated, but the ad-
mirers OF Podge-s swarmed into the
room and seized upon pots, plates and
pans as souvenirs.
1t turned out, at the end OF the farce,
that Podgers was not born at his
reputed birthplace, and notice to this
effect prevented further intrusion.
Here, then, is a suggestion for the
present occupant Of Sunnyside. He
should put up a signboard inscribed:
