- s~MR." AND "MRs."


An English Writer Urges Some Radical
Changes.
It has sometimes been said that il
requires a child or a genius to show US
our inconsistencies. A child drew at
tention to the ore now to be pointed out.
Having lived a very secluded life, he
knew but little of the ways of the
world, and, hearing a gentleman
spoken of with the prefix Mr. he
remarked, simply: "Mr.? But he isn't
married, is hep" His logical little
mind had decided that if women, prior
to marriage, retain the title of their
childhood, "Miss,". men in similar
condition should retain theirs of ''Mas-
ter" 1t was the child's unerring
insight into the fitness Of things, all
insight soon lost in the stress and strain
of life, which caNses us to hurry along
with the crowd, thinking as they think.
doing as they do. The remark of this
little fellow awakens train of thought.
Imagine master Herbert Spencer.
a Master Arthur Balfour!" Yet, when
looked at through other than the glass
of custom, these are not"more funny
than miss Frances Cobbe" and "Miss
Frances Willard" Harriet Martineau,
who in her time was regarded as so
powerful a writer and so fascinating
woman, saw the absurdity of it and OBJ
jected. She had no mind, she said, to
be addressed as schoolgirl, and re-
quested her friends to use the prefix
Mrs
1t would, of course, be simple enough
for everyone to address all middle-aged
women with the prefix "Mrs." But
that would mean concession. No con-
cession is wanted; the thing is to put
the matter on different basis. AS the
schoolboy buds into the man, the
Master is dropped for ''Mr.," and as
the schoolgirl buds into the woman.
the Miss should be dropped for
Mrs." the original significance of the
word is a matter of no consequence.
The custom need cause no more con-
fusion than it now does with the male
sex. The sons are distinguished from
the father, where necessary, by the in
sertion of the Christian name, and tho
daughters could be distinguished from
their mother, where necessary, in TIE
same way.-Westminste Review.

that masons and carpenters and gar
deners were at work upon the house
and the grounds; and then the boys
had taken servants and mules with
them and had gone back to Okemol-
kokee hummock, and Rachel, with her
mothers consent, had gone along to
keep the mildew off, Dan said, while
they cleared out the hummock farther
along, grating new trees and tending
cid ones, and read their books at night
by the light of burning pitch pine knots
before the little hut in the center of
their orange trees, that seemed to bud
and bloom as if they knew the work
they were doing for the family that
had two such sons and such daughter
as Rachel in it.
It was a half dozen years later that
met at New Orleans stately old gen.
tleman dressed faultlessly; on his arm
was a pale and graceful lady whose
face, happy and smiling though it was,
bore traces of old sorrow. There was
a group of young people in the dis
lance, busy over trunks and baskets
and wraps-Frarnie and Rebecca, and
little Rachel, grown as tall and hand
some as they, and their pert and pretty
quadroon waiting maid; and James,
who had grand1y thrown up the place
under government, anxiety to keep
which had once nearly worn his life
out; and the two boys, who had for
gotten there was suchaF thing as shop
counter or an oyster scoY; and Darius,
g1fnning like a masqueS and old Cy,
lowering round Julian and cambridge
as if they were the chief treasures of
the family, and. losing tNem, one lost
orange groves and all.

man; Eyes, we are on the way to see
the boys off to Europe to give them
the advantages of the best education.
Splendid boys, sir-deserve the best
there is, and I am able to give it to
them, and they shall have it.
cam I still in the cotton business?
Oh, no: the cotton business left me with
the war. I am largely interested in
orange growing.
"My boys-fne young men-ear]y
turned their attention to the wild bit
ter orange on my waste lands, and
thanks to them-I mean, thanks t.
Julian and cambridge there-you will
hardly believe it, but I receive more
than $4,000 year clear profit from my
orange groves!"

they might be called, when nearly 80.
Ten years had changed their fortune.
