chiIdren,s Opinions of Ladies.

What is a lady?" is a question
that a few days ago interested a
teacher on New Jersey, and she asked
her girl pupils to write short essays
on this subject. The result proved
most amusing. "a lady is one who has
servants" wrote one tiny girl. An
other said, "a lady has manners,
while still another wrote of her as a
'fperson who has lawn in front of
her house." Zone who is nice to her
servants" was another definition,
while fine clothes" were considered
the chief essential by still another es-
sayist. Some ladies have bad tenn
pers, but most ladies have good tenn
pers' was an answer, and one girl said
"a lady is clean and tidy and / think
she is kind" One child thought that
a "lady has money and helps the
poor" Zone who sends Christmas
cards to the poor" was the ideal of
an imaginative child. The consensus
of opinion was wealth, manners, large
houses, rich clothes. The most strik-
ing essay was from girl, who wrote,
"a lady is a good woman. Some Ia
dies are kind and rich. People have
two gs."-New York Press.

New LIaht on War.

Lem Jackson loved to loaf He
lived In the mountains not far from
Greenville, Tenn, with his wife and
q large brood of children. Lem had
a "houn' dawg" that he set great
store by, and he spent most OF his
time lounging in a runway waiting
to shoot a deer driven in by old
Bose or SPRAYING on the bank of a
stream fishing. In that way he was
a good provider after fashion; but
not all the urging, scolding, nagging
and demonstrating of his shrewish
wife could drive him to work.
Lem led the lazy life Of Rip
Van Wrinkle until the outbreak Of
the Civil War, and then he surpris-
ed everybody by joining the Confed-
crate army, for most of the noun
taineers fought for the Union. At
the end Of six months Lem was shot
through the right thigh, and it was
long before he was able to limp out
of hospital and back to his regiment
In the second year he was shot in
the left shoulder, and when he re-
turned to duty his left hand was
bent far back by a shortened ten
don; but he was still able to raise
his rife. Early in the fourth year
they got him again-a musket ball
through the bedy-but he was back
in the ranks long before the fighting
was ended. Every one wondered at
LENS persistence in sticking to the
terrible trade Of war.
DR.. Girdner met Lem hobbling
down the street in Greenville one
morning in June, IS, still pale and
weak from his latest wound, his
right leg short and wobbly, his left
hand stiffy bent back.
Glad to see you alive, Lem" said
the doctor. II suppose you're glad
to be home again."
WAL" Lem admitted, without en-
thusiasm. II s'pose I had to git err
long home. Gin'r'l Lee he surrend.

"But aren't you glad to be away
from the dangers of war;"
why, doc, war hain't so bad"
cried honest Lem. WAR hain't so
bad. There's lots O. days when you
don't have nothin' to do."-Harper's
Weekly.

Lovers QuarreIs.

Lovers quarrels generally arise
from the merest trifie. In about nine
cases out of ten neither side could
tell you how the wrangle came about.
There was a misunderstanding, a
word taken amiss, a look that was
misinterpreted. Then the quarrel be-
gan in real earnest. The safest rule
for avoiding a second quarrel, some
wise person once said, is never to
have a first Each time the lists are
entered it is easier to rush into the
combat again.
Old writer's used to say that the
quarrels of lovers meant the ultimate
renewal of love. There is no truth in
this assertion. 1t may be that when
people become reconciled after a
quarrel they are kinder and more low
ing to each other for a time by way
of atonement, but there is rarely
again the same sense of confidence
and security in each others love-

Brothers the Best Matchmakers.

In many instances the brother has
He does not take up the role voluntar-
lily, and perhaps it is his blissful IN
consciousness that enables him to
play the part to perfection.
The brotherless girl has fewer
chances of meeting eligible men, and
when she does the opportunities of
cultivating and fostering the acquaint-
ance may not be forthcoming.
True, she may have a matchmaking
mother, but this may be more of a
handicap than help.
The unwilling benedict too often
discerns the part that manoeuvring
mamma is playing in the affair, and
resents it; but when one of his
friends takes him home to dinner or
invites him for a week end visit he
goes without being in the least cog
infant of any danger there might be
in it for freedom-loving bachelor.
The brother is usually so blind to
the charms of his own women folk
that the idea of any one falling in
love with them never strikes him, and
when at least he realizes the truth
he does not always approve of it.
For, he argues, though a man may
be an ideal chum it does not always
follow that one would like him to
marry ones sister and become a
member of the family, says Home
Notes.
But the brother has no longer any
part in the matter; his work is done.
Decidedly the girl with brothers
has more advantages, matrimonially
speaking, than the girl without. She
has everything done for her without
any connivance or planning on her
own part.
Indeed, she too is often quite una
ware of it and secretly congratulates
herself on being thus chosen while Of
ten more attractive girls are passed
by.
But there is nothing wonderful
about it at all; she owes it to her
brother and that other great factor in
making marriages-propinquity.

thing of the Canadian West as be
coming fever with a great many peo-
pie. The lure of its golden promises
is creeping into their hearts and many
are they who are answering the call

per editorially cautions its readers to
exercise care and thought before NOV

be a wise precaution, and is exactly
what the Canadian officials ask.

made Canada his home for years is
the best evidence that can be offered.

who have made their homes in Can
ada, very few have returned. All are
