A writer in the Woman's Age thinks
far more than they deserve. THE fact
is" she says, that women have over
done their crying, and have allowed
any amount of health, courage and
force to ooze from their tearglands.
Weeping in the old days was really as
fashionable fainting, and the poems
of Moore and Byron dwell ecsta tically
upon the tears of the various Julias
and Marys of their songs, 81 crying
spells must lave had their charm in
those days, as well as ringlets and
wasp waists. But the woman of the
future will laugh. and will be all the
better for it. Girls have never been al
lowed to cultivate a humorous sense
as they grew up until within quite re-
cent years. when Intelligence is gain
ing such victories in the nursery Bois-
ferrous conduct or loud laughter have
always been reproved in little girls,
"nlie III IA Doy SuCn eNuDeranCe Is re-
garded as natural and healthy sex at
tribute. This is one of the reasons that
the humorous sense which in children
is usually evidenced in the love of
frolic, is killed in the feminine nature.
To laugh is rude. That constitutes the
law for the woman-chiId i'll whose
brain cells mischievous fun is begin
ming to bubble. The result of all this
is that few women know how to laugh
The laugh of the child is repressed, and
it develops into the giggle of the girl
Then the giggle is criticised. and many
women continue. in their efforts to be
polite. to gurgle and gasp into their
handkerchiefs until the end Of the
chapter.

WORDS OF WISDOM.

1t takes Il great man to lead Il Smab
army.
He who parieys with principle is pre-
pairing for perditiOn.
Stolen thunder seldom brings down
showers of blessing.
No man is apt to fall as he who
is orer-anXiOus to rise.
The light that blesses the wise m:in
burns the foolish moth.
Information does not make AN educa-
ton without inspiration.
The place is prepared for the clan
who is prepared for the place.
It's a poor policy to take your gun
to pieces in the face of the enemy.
Tie great man may be sometimes
mean. but the mean man can never be
great.
The wealth of the world depends on
sessions.
The great man is he who realizes the
limits Of his abilities and the posi-
bilities of his capacities.
True riches must be measured by
what is given TO others instead of by
what is ground from them.

AS to autobiography, the writer In

that it is even more difficult to distin-
guish it from fiction i'll its quality and
character, because the egoism of one
who writes his own life almost always
introduces an element of imagination
or, at least, of disproportion. THAT is
the drawback of it; truth is sacrificed
to pose. Otherwise autobiOgraphies

documents; certainly the most interest.
