DEVELOP BEST IN THE CITY.
Facts Show That Country Life 10 Not
Conducive to Woman's intel
Iectual Progress.

We hear a great deal about the
country districts producing our best
men, but no one seems to have asked
the question in regard to women. Does
country or city produce the finer type?
That every girl should get into touch
with country life, all agree. 1t means
health; 1t gives a knowledge of out-of-
doors difficult to acquire later, and a
kind Of self-reliance different from
that what is common in the city. But
whether prolonged and unbroken resi-
dence in the rural regions is good for
women, is another affair. Those
reared In the great silent spaces of
the northwest, for example. do not
seem to rise to opportunities for de-
velOpment as do men. The woman on
the farm seems more apt to be crushed
by the hardships of her lot, than made
stronger and more resourceful. 1t is
doubtful whether women have the
same power for sustaining loneliness
as men. The books we have by wom-

characterizes many western men, nor
quite that appreciation Of nature
which makes some Of these men real

The Marital Grasshopper.

What is grasshopper? The latest
definition comes from western Aus
tralia. Domestic servants are almost
unprocurable there, and wives have to
do nearly all their own household
work. The consequence is that they
are compelled to recuperate at the sea-
side in summer. In their absence the
husbands have to prepare their own
meals and do domestic duty generally.
Husbands SO engaged have come to be
locally known as "grasshoppers. No
doubt the word Is the husband of the
more familiar grass widow."-Lon.

A Beach Picnic.

-
There was nothing very remarkable
about the invitation l found on my
desk last week. save that l was asked
to come at three, and in large letters
we're the words: Bring your bathing

The hostess lived on the shore of an
inland lake. Oh. yes; 'Mr. Nine.

every one, that we all found ourselves

realizes possibilities and makes them
