Nearly Away. Get. wha, she wants.

Nearly Always Get. What She Wants
All the literature OF the past tends to
prove that women ought to live In
subjection to men-because literature
has always been in the hands Of men.
Literature tells us that man was
created first and that woman was made
as an afterthought. in order to be a
companion to him. But science knows
nothing OF this tale.
Now, the strength of women lies in
the fact that men cannot do without
them. II they could have. then women
would have become extinct long ago.
Neither sex can do without the other.
But women having been rendered timid
by centuries of subsection. have never
FOUND out where their strength lies. |
speak of women in general. for 1t is q
very remarkable fact that. though
women in general have always been
governed by the laws laid down by
men, individual women very often find
that they can do just as they please. A
woman can nearly always get what
she wants II she makes enough fuss
about 1t; and so it happens that in pri-
vate life it is very often the woman
who goyerns.-westminst Review.

Our first mention of the tulip is in
1893, when Gesner, the famous natu-
ralist, saw one at Augsburg, in Ba-
yaria. 1t had been brought from Con-
stnntinople. Dutch gardeners soon dis
covered that their soil and climate
were specially suited to the plant, and
they undertook the cultivation with
zeal. We are told that every man,
woman and child in Holland who could
obtain a fower-pot had tulip In it
about 1886. Under such competition
new and handsome variety fetched an
enormous sum. The quoted price for a
bulb of Admiral Van der Eyck In 1895

not yet the historic mania. Stoca.
brokers perceived the public excite
ment and saw their way to business.
They began to operate in tulips, ex-
actly as their successors on %he Corn
Exchange operate in wheat; there was
no more connection with horticulture
in the one case than with agriculture
in the other. They sold bulbs by the
thousand when all the stock existing
of that variety might be recSoned in
scores. 1t is wonderful that such mad
gambling in futures lasted for six
when the first "bear" who de-
a settlement must have caused
a crash. At the end of that time. how
ever, it duly arrived-with a ven
geance! So great was the confusion
and alarm that the government sum

monastery consists of several build
ings which are set upon the rocks at
the entrance of an immense cavern,
near the top of a lofty mountain.
These rocks are so precipitous, and
reach to such a frightful height that
it seems impossible for any one to get
up to the buildings without the aid Of
a balloon. And it is, indeed, difficult
task to climb to those enormous
heights. Near the monastery there
are steps, cut in the rock, but for most
of the journey from the level country
beneath the narrow, steep and slip
perry path leads sometimes through
lonely gorges, with high walls of bare
rock, and sometimes through thick
and dark forests. One of the buildings
is supported on tall timbers which, at
little distance, look like slender
poles, and it might easily be supposed
that if one of these should happen to
break, the whole house would go
tumbling down among the rocks. But
the house may be better fastened and
strengthened than we think, for the
making things with bamboo-poles and
sticks and reeds which look quite frail
and shaky, but which are really very
strong. Here the Chinese priests and
devotees live year after year. almost
out of the world, and certainly high
above the greater part of it, and they
probably think that by shutting them
selves up among these lofty, and al
most inaccessible crags, they are per-
forming a religious duty of a high or
der. In spite of the difficulties and
dangers of the ascent, the dwellers in
the monastery frequently receive Wis
It's from travellers. There is much
here to interest visitors-the vast cave
to the entrance of which the build
lngs seem standing guard; the deep
rayines down into which one can look
from almost any part of the houses.
and the people themselves, those
strange ideas of religious duty has led
them to pass their lives among the
caves and precipices of this desolats
and gloomy mountain.

when the Thames Ran Dry.

According to Symon's "Meteorologi-
cal Magazine" the Thames ran dry on
more than one occasion between the
years 1114 and 1716, which was long
anterior to the establishment of the
many locks on the river, which would
now render such an event impossible.
In 1114 there was so great an ebb every
where in one day as no man remem-
bered before, so that men went through
the Thames, both riding and walking,
east of London bridge. In 1853, in con-
sequence of an earthquake, the River
Thames, according to stoves An
nails" was dryed uppe, that all Lon
don might wake over the same dry
shod." In 1891 the river was again so
dry that a man could ride over it on
horseback near London bridge. In 1857
a great storm of wind blew down the
valley of the Thames and kept the
waters back so that it's bed was dry
a thing which happened again on the
18th of September, 1716. On this last
occasion the river was driven to so
low an ebb," says the weekly Pack
et," that both above and below the
bridge people passed and repassed on
the sands, which lay so clearly bare to
view that a silver tankard, silver
hilted sword, a gold ring and several
other things were taken up that had
been lost there"
