\ Citation That Clinehed the Other Side
 of the Argument.
 .'L hate to hear people say there's no such thing as luck, ' remarked the mel anehely Mr. Dolittle.
 ''I don't see why, 7" his wife rejoined.
 Because it isn't true, ; he returned with asperity. "A man can go on try ing and trying and never get along, and some other person will go ahead and tumble into good things without making any effort whatever. '
 Hiram, no great man has succeeded without hard work. ''
 ttThat's the kind of talk you always hear. But nine times out of ten it is all owing to the opportunity that presented itself. Fortune just seems to lie in wait to kidnap some men. Look at Sir Isaac Newton. His name is handed down from generation to generation. And why? Simply because he was sitting under tree, and an apple happened to drop on him. You can't pretend that a man is ill position to claim superior merit simply because, through no ao- tion or preference bis own, he gets hit in the head with an apple, can you?"
 'No, Hiram. ;
 Then don tell me about there not being any such thing as luck. "
 Ut seems to me that youv chosen a poor example in support of your argu- ment The case of Isaac Newton goes to show that the difference is in the people. If it had been some men that know of instead of Newton, the first thing they would have done after the apple fell would have been to go into the house and moan for the arnica bot tie; then they would have spent two or three hours of precious time talkil about their bad luck.

onsnings For Women.

While conservative colleges are throw ing open their doors for the higher edu- cation of women, we have reason to ex- peet that the ultimate outcome will be suffrage to the enlightened of all classes. Hundreds of young men are coming from those colleges, where they have mingled with bright, perseyering young women, whose habits of patient indus. try have enabled them to solve difficult problems and to specify may axioms which by the most skepticai cannot be refuted. This educational test must ln- voluntarily convince the most critical observer. We need have no fears of the ignorant man. His influence IS weak, compared with the educated. The same may be said of the ignorant woman. Therefore, let the young woman be early taught that life worth living IS within her reach.
 There are but few, with average phys ieaI health, so cireumstanced ln life that they may not obtain an education that will enable them to live above the bread of dependence. With the many avenues of learning open before her and a determination to overcome every ob- stacle. she will succeed beyond her ex- peetations. Let her despise not respeeta- ble labor, if need be, even in house. work, which gives to a perseyerlng young woman advantages that other employments do not allow. If entered upon with P cheerful heart, aiming to fit herself for usefulness, she will ind friends where least expected, and the reward of we'll doing will be source of joy and gratitude to er.-Ursula 5.

times, was guarded both in word and

ers inferred from q certain feature OF
her extreme caution that her sympa-
thies were not with them and Judged
her accordingly, 1t is now shown by
the printing OF her letter to Tennyson
that they Judged her correctly.
The matter Is of interest only be-
cause of the agitation of the question at
this time OF building Il residence for
royalty in Ireland. The Duke and
Duchess of York during their recent
tour In the island were very cordially
received by the people and the cir
cunlstance was made the basis of Il
suggestion that If the Irish people could
enjoy The opportunity Of seeing more Of
the rcignng family there would be
more content In Ireland with English
rule. This letter OF the Queens may

ScStion.

j does not reach the real difficulty at
all. Ireland has never complained OF
the neglect OF royalty In the matter OF
the absence OF royalty from her Dor
dcrS. Her demand has been. no; for the
presence of the Queen or any member
of her family. but for the presence of a
parliament at Dublin. sitting with the
authority to inquire into Ireland's
wants and provide for Them. She has
asked for home rule, not for glittering
phgeantry. Absentee landlordiSm has
been n factor In the Irish question,
but absentee royalty never.
The Queen this letter serves to re-
call, has never been an ardent admirer
or supporter OF Mr.. Gladstone. Several
explanations for the fact have been Of
