wire the size of the edge of the bowl, hook

Then across this ring stretch an inch OF

Twist the wires together where they
cross each other, and give a firm twist
around the circle of wire, and that is all

Education of Women.

Prof Thomas Davidson, in the Forum
Women might perhaps be said to belong
TO a more primitive type of humanity than
men. While men place an interval between
thought and act, women are apt to follow
feelings directly in half instructive way.
In other words, while men. through refiec-
ton, base their actions on consciously
recognized general principles women are
wont to respond emotionally to individual
and concrete cases. This is the reason why
the latter SO often show more ready tact
and intuition, more conservatism and con-
sclentiousness, but less originality than the
former. This comes out curiously in school
life. If when a theme for an essay is set
to mixed class of young men and women,
ulstlnct directions be given as to form,
method and length and the sources of in
formation named the young women will do
best If, on the contrary, no directions or
references are given and the pupils are left
TO Shift for themselves, so that research and
originality are called for, the young IN
Will do best. / have often made this TX
pertinent.
We may say, then, that. while men are
best fitted for those occupations that call
for reflection original thought and the dis
Covery of new principles, women are best
htted for those that call for the ready APP
plication of old and well-known principles.
This IS attested in numerous ways by the
facts of history. Women cling to old habits
customs and fashions-not to speak of su-
perstitions and religions-much longer than
men; while they rarely show themselves in
Nentors even in their own sphere of activ-
1ty. The sewing machine was the invention
OF men; and so, no doubt, were the loom
and the spinning wheel. Men acquire and
produce; women receive and preserve. And
along with this mental difference goes
physical difference. Men, as a rule are
larger, stronger and more aggressive
women are finer, more tender and more
sympathetic This, of course, implies no in
feriority of one sex to the other Both
types of character are equally essential to
social Well-being

A WOman's Club Mystery.


Miss Glider, in the Critic.
L have often wondered what is the rule of
selection in out-of-town literary societies
for what particular reason one person IS
asked to read a paper on literary subject.
and another is not. After thinking the mat
ter over for a number of years, have come
to the conclusion that when a certain man
or woman is asked to write an essay upon a
certain subject, he or she is selected for his
or her, absolute ignorance of that subject
1 have come to this conclusion after reading
large number of letters from those select
ed for the work, who have applied to me tc
help them out. The form of letter that 1 am
in the habit of receiving runs about this
way:
II have been appointed by the Ladies
Learned Literary Club, of Wormwood Hol-
low, to write an essay upon the life and
works of George Eliot Will you please
(they sometimes say please) tell me wheth-
man. Judging by the name 1 suppose that
she is or was a man, but from her
portraits she seems to be, or have been
more of a woman. But from her works, we
have one in our club library I should judge
that she is, or was, a man, for her writings
have not the feminine charm of Mrs. South
worth, May Agnes Fleming or E. p Roe
Is George Eliot considered a greater writer
than either of those mentioned. and if SO
will you give me the reasons why she, or he.
should be so considered. Is George Eliot a
real or assumed name? If the latter, he may
be, or have been, a woman. Please make
me out list of her, or his, works together
with the date of their publication. ANY
biographical items that you can supply me
with would be glad to get, and would like
them at once as have to deliver my essay
at our next monthly meeting. P. S. Who
was George Lewes? Was he any relation
to George Eliot?"
You may think this an exaggeration. but
assure you it is far from it. Indeed
have received many letters that were even
more hopeless and l should like to know
the state of mind of the literary societies
before whom the essays are read. dare say,
however, they are edited.
