Seven Reasons why.

An article giving numerous reasons
why the British Government ought not
to take over the sale Of Intoxicating
drinks recently appeared in journal
published on the other side OF the
water. The gist of the argument may
be thus presented:
:. 1t is to give general consent to
that which most people consider a
great evil.
,. 1t is making the liquor traffic re-
spectacle.
S. A man begins in respectable mu-
nicipal saloons. and goes down to the
lowest grogshops.
4. 1t would not eliminate private
profit. Brewers ard listillers would
not be affected.
5. It would not eliminate polit1ca'
influence. The publican is not so I'M

aGentlemanr' and Lady"

AS to the rather subtle question OF
gentleman" 'lady," man" and
woman" there is a difference (writes
correspondent between the sexes.
A Duke must always be man, unless
he be, for the purpose of conversation,
gentleman" with great emphasis Of
voice. Without emphasis, every man
of gentleman's rank is man" always
and in every social circumstance. But
with women it is entirely matter OF
the adjective. Without an adjective
a woman is "lady." Who ever asked,
on hearing that friend was to marry,
"Who is the woman" Nor do we say
that we met q woman at dinner VINO
told us so and so. But introduce the
adjective, and the "lady" is at once
pretty woman, well-dressed woman,
rather dull woman.
The ''mcn" and gentleman" difficult
ty was responsible recently for an un-
intentional aspersion upon youthful
Undergraduate friend by young Ia
that is to say, a girl. He was at the
end of his teens, not quite arrived at
mans estate. That was what she In
tended to convey to q stranger who
had heard his name mentioned and in
quired as to his approximate age. But
as she was a polite young-girl, what
she said was: "Oh, he's not quite a
centleman."-London Chronicle.

she Will give them instructions as to

for the family, limiting them ms to
the amount that may be expended.
Every mother 81 ould aim to make

ton Of the schools does not prepare
her for that. The education for good
housekeeping must be given in the
