Woman's Bravery Under
Stress of Body and Mind.

Henry w. Longfellow, the poet, and
party of friends of the Wayside Inn were
discussing the question of bravery one
day. Someone in the party asserted that,
rs between the sexes, man, physically
and mentally, was Drawer than woman.
To this Longfellow replied:
1T does not seem to me that bravery
is a question of sex, but of mental pre-
paredness for any emergency, no matter
how weak the body may be. ! think it
is the divine in man or woman that in
spires genuine bravery. Sex has little,
if anything, to do with it..
Following this argument, George For.
tbs has given recently some notable ex-
amples of bravery in womanhood.
One of the most remarkable feats of
courage displayed by a modern woman
was that of the wife of the captain Of
the brigantine ''Moorburgs This vessel
left Fu-ehau, China, for Melbourne in
the spring Of 1877, with four seamen,
mate, the captain, and his wife and
baby. The ship was delayed by strong
head winds and bad weather and, unable
to get any fresh food, the crew died
of scurvy. The captain and mate were
so sick as to be helpless, and for more
than week, until they reached Bris-
bane, the indomitable woman handled
the ship alone, under the direction Of
hCi uttoblliNs WHO Idy Oh Il COT On ueckt
An example of presence of mind and
nerve was that of Mrs. Dorothy p. Pun
phrey, who lived at Crawborough, Sus-
sex, England. On May 20. 1890, Mrs.
Humphrey, with two other women. was
sitting in the garden in the rear of her
home, when their attention was attracted
by a scream from the direction of an old,
half-dry well nearby. They found that
the little 5-year-old daughter of one of
them had tumbled down the well. Mrs.
Humphrey sprang to the unused bucket
that was suspended by a long rope from
a stout beam above. The two other wom-
en- let her down into the well. Clinging
to the rope with one hand. she grasped
the child by the hair and attempted to
lift her into the bucket. But the increased
weight on the side of the bucket turned
it over and the woman herself fell out.
She kept hold of the rope, however, and
succeeded in lifting in the child. Then
the women above started to haul the pair
out Half way to the top. the woman
lost consciousness and fell to the bottom,
but the shock of the fall and the cold
water revived her. and she was able to
keep herself afloat until the bucket could
again be lowered, when she was hauled
to the surface. Mrs. Humphrey was
awarded a medal for her bravery by a
British society organized for the pur-
pose of honoring deeds of heroism in
women.-Mothers' Magazine.

Suitability in Marriage to Be Considered

People in love are apt to scorn all con-
sideration of suitability with regard to
the social status of their chosen life part
ner. The question is, which is the worse
inequality as far as the fair sex is
conference.-the marry a man above or
below her? The majority of people
would say that the marriage below was
the greater of two evils, but it is a much
debated question.
To marry a man who is poor and So
cially beneath one is, naturally, to marry
for love and love only. 1t also involves
losing ones friends, position, and cut
ting ones self off from all the old ties.
A love which is strong enough TO put
up with all these things is surely worth
having. There is another thing which
helps q woman in such a marriage, She

MAE Problem Of the Only child.

Ihere are two sides to every question,
and the people who argue that it is bet
AmerlcaniSm to rear a small family,
and do it well, than to have a family
too large to be properly supported and
educated are probably just as honestly
patriotic as the holders of the other
view. But apart from national consider
ations. the effect upon a child itself of
belonging to a small family also has
two sides. There are plenty of parents
in America, especially those living in
cities, in flats, and on limited incomes,
where one child seems to be as much as
can be properly cared for. To provide
for it. and for its education and settle
ment in life. suitably, appears to be all
that i possible. The family with an
only child is remarkably frequent nova
days, whereas in old times 1t used to be
considered a calamity only next to a
childless home. And the old opinion has
much to back it. For the parents who
wish only for Ole or two children, in
order to do their best by them, are in
extreme danger of thereby doing the
very worst possible by them instead.
An only child, whether his mother
means it to be so or not, finds his whole
little world. as he grows up, conditioned
only for him. All the family hopes con-
verge on him. He is the important
member. Either he is spoiled-and how
dreadful only children can be all the
world knows-or in the effort not to
spoil him he is made more or less of a
