THE FLIRTING LOBBY.
Feminine Visitors to the English House
of Commons.

Women visitors to the English house
of commons are relocated to the semi
seclusion Of a gallery provided with Il
heavy iron grating. When a gentle
hum of conversation and light laughter
floats down from the ladies' gallery
members look up and see through the.
interstices of the heavy grating deli
cate tints of soft fabrics, the bloom OF
a fair cheek or the CLEAN of bare
white arm.
Amusement and curiosity, of course,
bring the ladies to the house of com
MONS but these cannot be the only
motives. The fair visitors would hard
ly trouble to array themselves in such
ravishing evening toilets merely to
sit in the gallery, that i'll lighted den
where dresses are not seen to ad
vantage.
No doubt it was with view to the
prevention of flirting that the rule was
laid down that if member desires to
converse with a lady in the gallery he
may do so for five minutes only. Mem
bers, especially the young and impress
sionable, make frequent visits to the
cage. OF course it is for the purpose
of pointing out the celebrities ON the
benches below.
But if in doing so he should exceed
five minutes the gallery attendant is
empowered to call his attention, cour
teously, but firmly, to the fact that Re
has outstayed his limit. 1t is 70 be

MY second reason Is JLlaL mere yVU
have no house of lords to sit on ones
chest and stifle ones best ambitions
and to lock every path to political re-
demption.
Thirdly, you have no established
church. agree with John Morley that
the state government of religion has
divided England into two hostile
camps from the time of Queen Eliza
beth, and the conviction of my life is
that the state establishment of a
church degrades religion most in the
hands of it's official chiefs.
Reason No. 4 is this: America has
no sectarian system of education and
of all hateful things English sectarian-
ism, with it's narrowness, it's snobbery
and the prosecuting spirit which it
brings in it's train-its political and
moral dishonesty-is one of the most
hateful on the face of the earth.
1.-THE fifth reason is: You have no
such military despotism as is found in
England-no such caste and class inter
ests-no such vast vested interests in
the promotion of war. i don't mean to
say that there is no jingoism in Amer
lea; that there are no fire eaters here.
What say is that this bears no sort
of proportion to the great, splendid life
of America.
"Finally, the drink evil is nothing in
America in comparison with what it is
in England. The consumption per cap
ita of this country is less than one-half
that of England"
'And now for the positive reasons, .
said.
''WeM," asserted DIR. Aked, there is
higher standard of education here
than in England is more
widespread There is in America a
restless intellectual activity practically
unknown in England that is disdain
of convention and shibboleth. An Eng
lishman is slave to precedent. An
American thinks his business in life is
not to follow presidents, but to make
them.
again, the standard of morals here
is very much higher than in England.
The relations of the sexes here are
freer and healthier. They are more
creditable to the men and infinitely
more so to the women. An American
girl is a thousand times better able to
protect herself than an English girl.
The American woman has the hap
piest life of any woman in the world.

WHAT is THE SOIL?

Surface Material.
If you were asked to name the most
important of mineral substances you
would doubtless hesitate for moment
and weigh the respective merits of
coal, iron and the precious metals.
Only after some consideration prob
ably would it occur to you that these
highly useful substances have insig-
nificant value as compared with that
familiar mixture of ground up min
erals which we call the soil
Man could make shift to live and
out glass or cement or metals. but his
very life depends upon the little film
of triturated rock that is spread over
the surface of the globe in the form
of earth. The constituents of this are
metamorphosed into the substance of
plants and ultimately into the tissues
of man himself.
Properly to understand the matter,
however, it must be colnprehended
that the soil is no important part Of
the earth's structure. except from Il
strictly human standpoint. At best it
is only little film of material frayed
off from the Jacket called the earth's
crust. To giant of such size that
the earth We're to him what an apple
is to us the soil would be no more
than the bloom on the peach.
With his handkerchief he could wipe

oceans, like so much dew. and polish
off the soil as we rub the bloom from
an apple. clear down to the Iocl. foun-

would be but to remove an infinitesi
NAL shell. and the total bulk of air and
oceans aggregates only z pc, cent
of that shell. Yet the oceans cove,
three-ffths of the earth's surface and
as measured i'll human terms, are some
