What the horse and the dummy en-.
CINE are to other countries as source
of power, the elephant is to India. The
enormous strength and intelligence of
this brute are proverbial, and this
strength is employed in many lines OF
work in India. The animal is employed
to push heavy loads, to move big tim

curing enormous strength. Says man
who has had plenty of experience in
this line:
The tanned elephant is bought in as

back and forth in sight of the astound

animals, then, as rule, comes an eX

you want the beast broken for work o.

The club, the class and the lecture

of many women. In many enterprls.
ing towns and villages the courses Of
fered by clubs and villages absorb
nearly all the time the home making
woman can have for intellectual life.
She belongs to a Shakespeare club and
a class In current events and a guild
for the study of church history. Her
scant leisure permits very little read
ing, except such as is done in connec-
ton with these courses. The results
achieved at the end of a winter will
doubtless be abundant; but unless she
is on her guard, they will not include
any great gain in power and accuracy
of individual judgment. Whenever a
doubtful point has presented itself in
her reading, she has waived it, in the
certainty that 1t will be discussed at
length at the meeting of the class, and
that she will be helped to her decision
by the ideas developed there. Did
Hamlet really love Ophela? DO Shak-
speare's sonnets tell his own story?
Ought the English education bill to
pass? Is reciprocity with Canada prac-
ticable? Is church union possible?
These questions and a hundred others
will be sure to be settled with a GER
tain pleasant dogmatism by the leader
of the course of study. Why should
she trouble herself about them before
hand? Because community where
one view only prevails in matters of
taste and judgment is likely to be
dull place and an unprogressive one.
After all, the world has made its long
